Every week, Ste & Nicole dive into the biggest stories from Topical Media, read your messages, opinions and questionable life choices, then inevitably get distracted by something completely unrelated. Expect our Off-topic Topic, Judge Jerry (where Uncle Jerry solves modern problems with even more modern solutions), Follow Fast or Scroll Past, Meme of the Week, Jokes of the Week, and whatever random tangents we end up on in between. It’s packed with sarcastic humour, ridiculous conversations, awful puns, plenty of innuendo, and the kind of banter you’d expect from two mates who probably should’ve stayed off the internet. If you like your podcasts funny, a little bit chaotic, and only loosely held together by a running order… welcome to Topicopedia.

    EP222 | MICHAEL BARRYMORE, PENIS FILLERS & THE LAPTOP FROM HELL

    This week on Topicopedia, things get weird remarkably quickly. Nicole somehow gets Michael Barrymore to sing Happy Birthday to “Spoodpimpy”, we discover what happens when somebody puts Bovril in a SodaStream, and Ste finds Nicole a bargain laptop online… unfortunately the seller appears to have included considerably more in the photos than just the ports. We also get into emergency wildfire alerts, AI working out where your holiday photos were taken, the increasingly questionable world of penis fillers, and ask what things are massively overrated — including Matcha, Dubai chocolate, gender reveal parties and the legendary Binley Mega Chippy. Then Judge Jerry tackles possibly his finest case yet: a man discovers his girlfriend of six years has secretly married her gay best friend to help him get a mortgage. Somehow, two dogs called Pickle and Dave end up becoming key parts of the judgement. Plus: four-day weeks, working from home, office birthday collections, compulsory fun, cameras on in meetings, quiet quitting, Meme of the Week and the usual terrible jokes. 00:00 Intro 04:05 Birthdays, eclipses & general nonsense 08:18 Michael Barrymore sings for Spoodpimpy 14:23 Listener feedback 17:58 Bovril in a SodaStream 26:43 This week's news 27:13 The emergency wildfire alert 32:54 AI can identify your holiday photos 39:40 Why are men getting penis fillers? 42:46 What is massively overrated? 56:21 Whatever happened to Binley Mega Chippy? 58:02 Nicole's new laptop takes a VERY strange turn 1:02:49 Judge Jerry: She secretly married someone else 1:08:31 Judge Jerry delivers his verdict 1:10:31 Workplace debates 1:18:25 Compulsory fun can get in the bin 1:22:16 Quiet quitting 1:27:24 Meme of the Week 1:30:16 Jokes of the Week #Topicopedia #ComedyPodcast #BritishPodcast #UKPodcast #PodcastComedy #JudgeJerry #FunnyPodcast #MichaelBarrymore #QuietQuitting #MemeOfTheWeek

    EP221 | We Both Lick it Out

    We both lick it out. Yes, that is a genuine sentence from EP221. And yes, we immediately realised it would probably end up in the title. This week Ste and Nicole tackle the important issues: the correct way to eat a Creme Egg, whether eating an Oreo normally makes you a psychopath, why stealing somebody else's chips tastes better because "the secret ingredient is crime", and just how much food you can cram into your mouth before your jaw gives up. Before all that, there's a confession involving a nearly 1,200-day Snapchat streak that technically died before being resurrected for 99p, another accidental brush with going viral, baby spiders, listener feedback from Andy and another collection of news stories that sound made up but somehow aren't. We meet 97-year-old wing-walker Betty Bromage, hear about a Mercedes badge apparently getting hot enough to brand people and discover a fashion label whose name basically translates to Fecal Matter. Then Judge Jerry returns to decide whether secretly recording a two-faced relative really ruined a wedding — including seven bridesmaids, an unwanted wedding celebration and a cousin who probably shouldn't be trusted anywhere near the bouquet. Finally, Follow Fast or Scroll Past takes on social-media habits including shared Facebook accounts, gym selfies, public relationship arguments, filming strangers, parents posting their children online, voice notes, feet pics and screenshotting private conversations. Plus Meme of the Week attempts to return, before technology gets involved, and we finish with the usual selection of terrible jokes. 🎧 Topicopedia EP221 — out now. 🌐 Topicopedia.online #Topicopedia #ComedyPodcast #BritishPodcast #UKPodcast #Podcast #PodcastClips #JudgeJerry #UncleJerry #Comedy #SocialMedia #FunnyPodcast #PodcastComedy 00:00 Intro & Host Catch-Up 08:57 The Andy Segment & Listener Feedback 18:05 Notable News 28:53 Betty Bromage, Mercedes & Fecal Fashion 34:57 Off Topic: How Do You Eat Yours? 38:02 Psychopathic Oreos & Food Rules 48:39 Judge Jerry: Did I Ruin the Wedding? 58:43 Follow Fast or Scroll Past 01:02:13 Shared Accounts & Relationship Drama 01:09:41 Filming Strangers, Kids Online & Feet Pics 01:23:57 Meme of the Week 01:25:46 Jokes of the Week

    EP220 | SEX ROBOT TEACHERS & NAKED STONEHENGE

    Description: Nicole’s back has finally packed up, Ste has returned from his birthday trip to London considerably poorer, and a disappointing Gordon Ramsay burger has left him questioning everything. In Episode 220 of Topicopedia, we hear about Nicole’s terrifying night home alone, debate whether Britain should ever reconsider the death penalty, and meet the electric Jaguar driver whose own car grassed him up to the police. There’s also an AI school robot linked to a company making sex bots, surfing dogs, a £28,000 overdue library book, a floor covered in enough peanut butter to make 15,000 sandwiches, and the chance to dance naked inside Stonehenge. Our Off Topic discussion asks why stolen chips, cinema popcorn and food made by somebody else always taste better. Then Judge Jerry delivers his verdict on a boyfriend who practically lives at his girlfriend’s house, eats her food, uses her electricity, contributes absolutely nothing and considers McDonald’s an acceptable birthday celebration. We also tackle the biggest restaurant debates, including QR code menus, automatic service charges, splitting the bill, children in fine-dining restaurants, bottomless brunches and tipping in the UK. Plus Meme of the Week and a collection of jokes that become progressively less suitable for polite company.

    EP219 | THE CHEESECAKE WAS FOREPLAY…

    In Episode 219, Ste and Nicole accidentally spend far too long investigating Ben & Jerry’s flavours before eventually remembering they have an actual podcast to record. There’s listener feedback, Andy Burnham and Number 10 North, hosepipe snitches, people parachuting from towers, a real-life Spider-Man, rogue AI, Sam Smith’s hazel-eye confusion and plenty more from the week’s headlines. Nicole then challenges Ste to identify everyday products using nothing but furious one-star reviews, before Uncle Jerry tackles a family crisis involving missing food, a hidden kitchen camera, a stolen cheesecake and a mum secretly using her son’s house as a waiting room for an affair with the 82-year-old neighbour. Finally, meal kits, Amazon Prime, app payments, advert-free streaming, creator memberships and car subscriptions face Follow Fast or Scroll Past, followed by Meme of the Week and another collection of deeply questionable jokes.

    EP218 | HUMAN DOGS, £12.50 TEA & AIRPORT ANIMALS

    Episode 218 gets expensive, awkward and worryingly canine. Nicole has bought a 3D printer and immediately discovered that the printer itself is only the beginning of the spending. We catch up with your feedback, discuss the week's headlines and make some political predictions that may age terribly. Then Ste plays The Price Is Wrong, attempting to guess the real cost of everything from a cup of tea at The Ritz to airport parking, theme-park churros and an alarmingly expensive Mr Whippy. Judge Jerry also returns to rule on a family birthday dilemma involving a friend's dog persona, a harness, a surprise game of fetch and a previous incident with hand-fed pork scratchings in Wetherspoons. Finally, we settle some airport-etiquette arguments, battle over Meme of the Week and finish with another collection of wonderfully questionable jokes. Listen, vote and send us your own stories at topicopedia.online. Short podcast-app description Nicole's new 3D-printing hobby gets expensive, Ste faces outrageous prices in The Price Is Wrong, and Judge Jerry rules on whether a human Alsatian should be allowed at a family birthday party.

    EP217 | STICKY BALLS, SWINGERS & THE BINDICATOR

    Autocorrect has learned one word from Ste’s phone and it absolutely refuses to let it go: THE BINDICATOR. This week, Nicole reveals the matching tattoos and launches a forensic investigation into the face of someone who laughed at them. Ste embraces sticky-ball season, Andy risks the friendship by attacking pistachios, and Topical Media returns with the biggest, weirdest and most ridiculous stories of the week. Then Autocorrect Roulette exposes far too much, including Nicole’s plan for old people and Ste’s suspiciously persistent home-automation dashboard. Judge Jerry also tackles a key-party disaster involving Mum’s Nissan Micra, a woman called Bev, discount body glitter and something now known as “the little red rocket”. Plus, we decide whether chips belong in a McFlurry, whether banana pizza should be prosecuted, crown the Meme of the Week and finish with jokes of varying legality and quality.

    EP216 | Camera Up My What?! Weddings, Water Taxis & The M&S Bag Scandal | Topicopedia EP216

    Ste and Nicole are back for episode 216 of Topicopedia, and this week starts exactly how any sensible podcast should: with colonoscopy chat, road surface analysis and a suspiciously deep dive into bus-route YouTube. There’s also a missing smash burger delivery, a cursed DHL coffee table saga, listener feedback about weather stations, Viagra in football, air con, political chaos and the sort of world record chat nobody asked for. In notable news, we get into England at the World Cup, the Sky/ITV streaming deal, Russia and Ukraine, viral Empire State Building edits, Joey Chestnut’s hot dog record, a Plymouth taxi that fancied being a boat, and the greatest headline ever written about an M&S bag. This week’s main game is Finish the Sentence, which somehow manages to cover ageing, weddings, lottery purchases, cats, aliens, supermarket tannoys and the banning of matcha. Exhibit A looks at the heartbreaking murder of Helen McCourt, a local case involving the former George and Dragon pub in Billinge, before the mood swerves violently back into chaos with Follow Fast or Scroll Past: outrageous wedding trends. Audio guest books, champagne towers, tattoo stations, live painters, midnight McDonald’s and outfit changes all get dragged through the Topicopedia filter. Plus: Meme of the Week, jokes of the week, Uncle Jerry lurking somewhere in the shadows, and the usual amount of cancellation-risk behaviour.
