    EP215: Viral Spiders, Slushie Machines & The Murder Theory That Made No Sense

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole are surviving the heatwave, arguing about aircon, celebrating Spoodpimp going weirdly viral, and once again proving that Lidl’s middle aisle is basically financial Russian roulette. We also dive into listener feedback, weird eBay purchases, resin pumpkins, suspicious weather maps, missing giraffes, sewer explorers, raccoons with jars on their heads, and seagulls stealing terrible sausages. Then we look at some of the world’s weirdest Guinness World Records, including chopsticks in beards, washing machine throwing, rubber duck collections, extremely questionable fingernails and a skateboarding bulldog. In Exhibit A, we cover the tragic murder of Shani Warren, a case wrongly clouded for years by a bizarre suicide theory before DNA evidence finally helped bring justice 35 years later. Plus, Follow Fast or Scroll Past tackles Labubu figures, Jellycat plushies, Stanley tumblers, Ninja slushie machines, Squishmallows and other things people are suddenly obsessed with for reasons science may never explain.

    EP214: Starmer Quits 🍾 Haunted Ducks & The World’s Stupidest eBay Purchases

    This week on Topicopedia, we somehow go from politics to haunted bath toys, which feels about right. We talk Keir Starmer apparently throwing in the towel, Andy Burnham being lined up as the next big northern hope, social media bans, Clarkson, voting ages, and whether the government just wants everyone carrying digital ID. Then things get properly stupid as we dive into some of the most unhinged things ever sold on eBay, including William Shatner’s kidney stone, a haunted rubber duck, Elvis Presley’s alleged leftover water, and an invisible air guitar. We also cover the unsolved murder of Daniel Morgan, fakeaway recipes, meme of the week, feedback, jokes, and the usual amount of nonsense.

    Topicopedia EP213.mp3

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole accidentally wander through the Lidl middle aisle of chaos, discuss whether Ste has become worryingly healthy, and explain why slime with bits in it is an offence against humanity. We dig into listener feedback, RollerCoaster Tycoon nostalgia, Uncle Jerry’s growing presence in the comments section, and a Notable News round-up featuring Andy Burnham, Keir Starmer, social media curfews, the World Cup and Katie Price’s husband. Then it’s time for the big one: Elon Musk and the trillion-dollar question. Has Ste softened on Elon? Is a trillion dollars even real money? And does Hyperloop count as genius, madness, or just a very expensive tube? We also put history itself on trial with a round of “Am I The Arsehole?”, judging Henry VIII, the Titanic captain, Guy Fawkes, Napoleon, Christopher Columbus, Julius Caesar, Robert Falcon Scott, King John, the Wright Brothers and Oppenheimer. This week’s true crime case is the chilling White House Farm murders, one of Britain’s most debated criminal cases, before we lighten the mood with some of the most ridiculous viral gender reveal ideas ever imagined. Plus: Meme of the Week, rude jokes, Uncle Jerry being deeply unsupervised, and the kind of gender reveal idea that should absolutely never leave the group chat. Vote for Meme of the Week and send us your feedback at: Topicopedia.online Contains strong language, adult humour, dark jokes and true crime discussion. #Topicopedia #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #WhiteHouseFarm #JeremyBamber #ElonMusk #GenderReveal #MemeOfTheWeek #DarkHumour #FunnyPodcast #PodcastClips 00:00:00 Welcome to EP213 00:06:31 Uncle Jerry takes over social media 00:10:00 Listener feedback 00:14:23 Notable News 00:24:09 Elon Musk and the trillion-dollar question 00:34:04 Historical “Am I The Arsehole?” 00:52:59 The White House Farm murders 01:05:28 Gender reveals have gone too far 01:23:32 Meme of the Week 01:27:00 Rude jokes 01:30:01 Outro

    EP212 | Website Hacked, Frozen Murder & Beans on Toast

    This week on Topicopedia, the website gets hacked, Uncle Jerry continues terrorising the Facebook comments, Nicole survives another week of NHS side quests, and somehow we end up blaming Keir Starmer for everything. We kick things off with listener feedback, Andy’s thoughts, Bonnie Blue fallout, pet insurance drama, flip phones, Spotify, nostalgia, and the return of Uncle Jerry in the comments section. Then it’s into Notable News, including the Henry Novak case, political double standards, Clarkson’s Farm, UK defence delays, surprise pub gigs, penguins with tiny cameras, and the birthday of Tetris. This week’s main topic is Task Failed Successfully, where we look at inventions that became famous for completely different reasons than intended. Bubble wrap as wallpaper, Play-Doh as cleaner, Viagra for blood pressure, Listerine as floor cleaner, microwaves from melted chocolate, treadmills as punishment, cornflakes as anti-horny food, and Vaseline doing… well, apparently everything. Then for Exhibit A, we dive into the chilling unsolved case of Ann Noblet, also known as The Deep Freeze Murder, where a 17-year-old girl vanished after a dance in 1957 and was found weeks later in circumstances that left investigators wondering if her body had been stored in a freezer. And finally, Follow Fast or Scroll Past takes on struggle meals: beans on toast, instant noodles, cheese toasties, pasta with butter, pot noodle sandwiches, sausage beans and mash, ketchup pasta, corned beef hash, mug cakes, baked potatoes, picky tea and more. Plus, terrible jokes. Obviously.

    EP211 | DELETE ME THEN: Facebook Meltdowns, Y2K Regrets & The Warcraft Murder

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole somehow go from Uncle Jerry being a menace on Facebook to police, politics, Bonnie Blue, Jeremy Clarkson’s choir, and the sort of people who post “delete me then” statuses at midnight. We get into the Manchester Airport case, the Henry Novak discussion, two-tier justice arguments, Bonnie Blue’s latest chaos, and why Jeremy Clarkson accidentally becoming likeable is deeply confusing. Then Nicole introduces Delete Me Then, a full breakdown of Facebook oversharers, public breakup soft launches, fake-deep quote addicts, MLM warriors, school-rant parents, and people who turn every status into a hostage situation. This week’s Exhibit A covers the murder of Matthew Pike, a chilling true-crime case involving online obsession, gaming communities, and a real-world attack planned through the internet. And because emotional whiplash is our brand, we immediately follow that with Follow Fast or Scroll Past, judging Y2K comeback items including Juicy Couture tracksuits, Motorola Razrs, Von Dutch hats, low-rise jeans, Tamagotchis, Ugg boots, jelly sandals and digital cameras. Plus: Meme of the Week, terrible jokes, and probably at least three things we should have edited out. #Topicopedia #Podcast #UKPodcast #ComedyPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #FacebookDrama #DeleteMeThen #BonnieBlue #JeremyClarkson #MatthewPike #WarcraftMurder #Y2KFashion #Tamagotchi #LowRiseJeans #UggBoots #MemeOfTheWeek #BritishPodcast #FunnyPodcast #PodcastClips 00:00:00 Intro: Uncle Jerry Is A Facebook Liability 00:03:19 The Intro Gets Immediately Questioned 00:05:02 Nicole’s Neighbours, Roof Parties & Ball Gowns 00:10:00 Doctor Appointments, Body Problems & Nerve Blockers 00:13:08 Listener Feedback & TikTok Comment Chaos 00:16:33 The Manchester Airport Case 00:20:06 Henry Novak, Police Response & Public Outrage 00:25:05 Kirpans, Exceptions & Two-Tier Arguments 00:30:01 Political Hypocrisy & Selective Outrage 00:33:00 Bonnie Blue On The Radio 00:35:04 Bonnie Blue’s Pregnancy Reveal Chaos 00:39:52 Jeremy Clarkson’s Choir Wins Britain’s Got Talent 00:41:52 Storytime With Nicole: Facebook Characters 00:50:50 The Fallout From Nicole’s Facebook Argument 00:52:12 Delete Me Then: Online Oversharing & Public Meltdowns 00:55:00 MLM Huns, Copyright Hoaxes & Facebook Nonsense 01:00:07 Fake Deep Quotes & School Rant Parents 01:05:00 Breakup Soft Launches & “I’m Too Real” Essays 01:09:58 Exhibit A: The Murder Of Matthew Pike 01:20:05 Online Safety, Dating Apps & Stranger Danger 01:21:57 Follow Fast Or Scroll Past: Y2K Comebacks 01:22:12 Juicy Couture Tracksuits & Motorola Razrs 01:25:00 Von Dutch Hats & Foldable Phones 01:27:53 Low-Rise Jeans, Flares & Tamagotchis 01:33:34 Ugg Boots, Jelly Sandals & Digital Cameras 01:40:17 Meme Of The Week 01:45:16 Jokes Of The Week 01:48:35 Outro

    EP210 | IKEA Screws, Sexy Priests & The Murderous Nurse

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole return with another hour of absolute nonsense, medical mystery energy, listener chaos and questionable life choices. Nicole has another egg-related meltdown, the listeners are back with feedback about pavlovas, ice cream vans and underground amaretto panic, and TikTok decides Nicole’s snake setup is somehow worth sending death threats over. Then it’s into Notable News, featuring fake sexy priest calendars, a live frog found in lettuce, Area 51 thoughts, Gemma Collins somehow entering the Department for Education chat, and Katie Price’s missing husband update. We also play “Things You Can Say In IKEA And In The Bedroom”, which goes exactly as maturely as you’d expect. Plus, in Exhibit A, we cover the disturbing case of Malcolm Webster, the nurse accused of manipulating, drugging and murdering women who trusted him. Then we finish with 2016 nostalgia, meme of the week, and some properly filthy jokes. Grab a drink, get comfy, and prepare for the usual chaos. #Topicopedia #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #MalcolmWebster #IKEA #FunnyPodcast #NotableNews #PodcastClips #BritishPodcast #DarkHumour #2016Nostalgia #MemeOfTheWeek #UnhingedPodcast 00:00:00 Intro: Nicole vs modern medicine 00:02:04 2016 nostalgia already makes us feel ancient 00:03:39 Nicole’s absolute clusterfuck of a day 00:08:16 The egg, the dill, the plate and the rage 00:14:41 Listener feedback begins 00:15:18 Andy’s egg puns and “ripe pavlova” 00:16:26 Ice cream vans, beach webcams and 99s 00:17:46 Office lingo and underground amaretto panic 00:19:46 TikTok death threats over Nicole’s snake setup 00:23:20 Notable News begins 00:23:34 The sexy priest calendar scandal 00:25:02 A live frog found in lettuce 00:30:11 Area 51 and alien relocation theories 00:30:47 Gemma Collins and government job losses 00:35:13 Things you can say in IKEA and in the bedroom 00:40:25 Exhibit A: Malcolm Webster 00:50:33 Follow Fast or Scroll Past: 2016 nostalgia 00:51:32 Pokémon Go and the 2016 internet era 00:55:39 Galaxy leggings, Tumblr fashion and old trends 01:01:46 Katie Price’s missing husband update 01:05:04 Meme of the Week 01:09:23 Jokes of the Week 01:13:17 Wrap-up and feedback plug

    EP209 | EP209 | THE EGGS EXPLODED & SO DID THE EPISODE

    This week on Topicopedia Episode 209, the eggs exploded… and so did the episode. Nicole kicks things off by revealing she detonated two eggs in the microwave like tiny breakfast grenades, Ste has reformatted his computer and accidentally tried to rejoin Slack like a confused new starter, and Uncle Jerry has once again been let loose on social media without supervision. We’ve got listener feedback involving productivity hats, square pizzas, Viking books and a tragic 69/99 ice cream mix-up. Then it’s into Notable News of the Week, featuring political circus energy, Stephen Curry and Warren Buffett’s very expensive lunch, shirtless baseball lads, Knight Rider speeding tickets, Eurovision failure, a man pulling a car with his bits while on fire, Katie Price’s missing husband, and the latest Bonnie Blue pregnancy rumours. This week’s Exhibit A covers the tragic and disturbing case of Suzanne Capper, a deeply upsetting British true crime case involving group cruelty, torture, and the horrifying consequences of wanting to belong to the wrong people. Then we lighten the mood with Corporate Jargon Translations, Follow Fast or Scroll Past on celebrity products, Meme of the Week with a suspiciously boob-shaped breakfast, and the usual terrible jokes to finish. Expect chaos, dark humour, accidental filth, public toilet trauma, corporate nonsense, Bonnie Blue speculation, and at least one egg-based emotional support incident. Listen, laugh, regret everything. #Topicopedia #EP209 #TheEggsExploded #BonnieBlue #BonnieBlueRumours #KatiePrice #SuzanneCapper #TrueCrimePodcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishPodcast #NotableNews #MemeOfTheWeek #DarkHumour #FunnyPodcast 00:00:00 Uncle Jerry’s Weird Weekly Reminder 00:01:15 Welcome to Episode 209 00:04:16 Exploding Eggs & Slack Login Disasters 00:08:05 Nicole’s Dartmoor Toilet Emergency 00:16:16 Listener Feedback: Hats, Zoos, Castles & 69 Ice Creams 00:23:05 Notable News of the Week 00:34:25 Katie Price’s Missing Husband & Bonnie Blue Rumours 00:39:28 Corporate Jargon Translations 00:45:06 Exhibit A: The Suzanne Capper Case 00:53:32 Follow Fast or Scroll Past: Celebrity Products 01:11:54 Breaking News: Elon Musk vs OpenAI 01:13:19 Meme of the Week: Battle of the Egg Boobs 01:16:13 Joke of the Week 01:20:58 Outro

    EP208 | RAT SH*T CRUISES & ONE-STAR MELTDOWNS: The Internet Has Lost It

    This week on Topicopedia, Nicole is horizontal, Ste is ranting, Uncle Jerry is lurking, and the internet has somehow got even more ridiculous. We kick things off with listener feedback, postcards, pirate weekend, body reprogramming, and the return of lavatorial profanity. Then it’s time for Notable News of the Week, featuring David Attenborough turning 100, politics getting messier than ever, a deeply unpleasant hantavirus cruise story involving rat droppings, and one surprisingly wholesome tornado kitten. Then we dive into some of the most ridiculous one-star reviews ever written, including complaints that waterfalls are wet, zoos have animals, blackout curtains make rooms dark, weighted blankets are heavy, and mirrors keep showing exhausted people. This week’s unsolved mystery looks at the disappearance and suspected murder of Claudia Lawrence, one of the UK’s most haunting missing person cases. We talk through the timeline, the rumours, the investigation, the lack of CCTV, and why the case still feels so frustrating all these years later. Plus: productivity hacks get judged in Follow Fast or Scroll Past, Meme of the Week returns, and the jokes go exactly where you’d expect them to go.
