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.
