Welcome back to Some Topic, the only podcast where two caffeinated philosophers accidentally summon ancient gods while trying to talk about meaning. In this episode, Nick and his co-host dive headfirst into cosmic horror, existential dread, and why humanity keeps worshiping things that want us dead. From Lovecraft’s tentacled anxiety monster to meme culture’s unholy transformation of fear into Funko Pops, this one’s a journey from the depths of R’lyeh to the shallows of modern absurdity.

Expect wild tangents, half-accurate history, and philosophical therapy sessions disguised as jokes. The hosts unpack why humans find comfort in chaos, what happens when fiction becomes faith, and whether embracing meaninglessness might actually be the most meaningful act of all. Equal parts comedy and existential meltdown — this is the Some Topic method: laugh, spiral, repeat.

Welcome back to Some Topic, the only podcast where two men with Wi-Fi and mild insomnia attempt to out-argue human history itself. In this episode, Nick and his co-host continue their descent into the archives of civilization’s most confusing achievements — from the emotional instability of doors to the existential crisis of the spork.

Part 2 picks up where The History of Sitting, Doors, and the War of the Sporks left off — only now we’ve fallen completely off the ergonomic cliff. Expect heated debates over hinges, emotional support spoons, the forbidden invention of the “baby mop suit,” and the discovery that your laptop stand might secretly be humanity’s final cry for help. There are tangents. There is coffee. There is no logic.

Welcome back to Some Topic, the only podcast where two over-caffeinated minds try to make sense of civilization’s dumbest decisions — from the invention of the chair to the questionable genius of the spork. In this episode, Nick and his co-host unravel humanity’s surrender to sitting, the drama behind the first door slam, and why every office chair might secretly be a throne on wheels for wannabe kings of productivity.

Expect Nerf sponsorship conspiracies, philosophical breakdowns about gravity and beanbags, and a full-on debate about the most uncomfortably “productive” chair ever designed. Later, we venture into Exhibit D: The Spork Wars — where spoon diplomacy meets fork aggression — before wrapping with existential questions about privacy, NDAs, and whether Goofy is, in fact, dating a cow. Logic is seasonal, facts are optional, and our unpaid interns are still on strike. Buckle up, grab your coffee, and enjoy the chaos.
