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.

Welcome back to Some Topic, the show where logic is seasonal, facts are optional, and raccoons are apparently running our research department.

In this absurdly deep episode, the hosts unravel a gallery of forgotten mascots from history’s most disastrous moments — from collapsing bridges and radioactive glow girls to lobotomy mascots with ice picks for hands. Between unhinged improvisation and accidental accuracy, you’ll meet:

🐍 Wobbly the Bridge Snake, born from the Tacoma Narrows disaster

🧊 Picky the Ice Pick, medical celebrity and emotional void

☢️ Chloe the Friendly Isotope, glowing and crumbling with grace

🦆 Sergeant Feathers, Australia’s accidental war hero

🧈 Chilly Willy, Napoleon’s cold-hearted cannonball crush

As always, expect chaotic tangents about Harry Potter euphemisms, Sucker Punch film debates, raccoon interns, and philosophical takes on gigolos, magpies, and radioactive romance.

The result? A strange mix of dark comedy, pseudo-history, and pure imaginative nonsense — the kind of show that makes you question both your sanity and your Wi-Fi connection.

🎧 About the show:

Some Topic is a comedy podcast blending satire, pop culture, and surreal storytelling. Nothing is rehearsed. Everything is unhinged.

This episode unravels what it means to be memorable, flirt without shame, and stir chaos in a salon full of stylists and gossip.

Expect historical rants, questionable advice, sharp banter, and the philosophical nonsense you didn’t know you needed. Logic is seasonal, facts are optional, and as always — we said it confidently.

In Part 2 of our deep dive into Coca-Cola, the wild ride continues! Picking up where we left off with Santa, polar bears, and the New Coke fiasco, we now explore Diet Coke’s launch in 1982, global criticism, and the health controversies surrounding sugar, artificial sweeteners, and the rise of obesity in soda-drenched communities.

Our dangerously underqualified hosts debate what it would take for original Coca-Cola, with its early cocaine-laced formula, to survive today’s health-obsessed culture, and ponder the ethics of nostalgia-driven marketing. Along the way, we explore iconic Coca-Cola bottle designs, region-specific flavors like Japanese Coca-Cola coffee, novelty experiments such as Coca-Cola Starlight (“tastes like space”), and the trivia gems that make Coke more than just a beverage.

Expect irreverent humor, absurd tangents, and raccoon-level banter about global soda practices, quirky marketing strategies, and the ongoing quest to stay relevant in a health-conscious world. Whether it’s astronauts testing Coke in zero gravity, oddball flavored releases, or Crocodile Cough Cloth sponsorships, no topic is too ridiculous, no fact too obscure.

Part 2 continues the blend of history, psychology, and comedy from Part 1, answering the questions: Can a brand reinvent itself without losing its essence? How far does nostalgia influence human behavior? And why do we care so much about a fizzy drink?

Stay for the laughs, the trivia, and the caffeinated chaos as our raccoons-of-reason hosts guide you through Coke’s cultural, historical, and absolutely absurd journey.

In this episode, we take a wild ride through Coca Cola’s cultural and marketing history—from the 1930s illustration of Santa Claus to the polar bear campaigns and the infamous New Coke fiasco. We explore how a simple soda became a symbol of nostalgia, patriotism, and even obsession for generations of Americans, including World War II veterans. Along the way, we dive into Reddit deep dives, historical psychology, and some absurdly entertaining tangents about penguins, polar bears, and even Saddam Hussein’s Santa.

We also tackle big questions: Why do people cling so hard to a brand? Can Coca Cola really be about happiness when their global practices have caused real-world suffering? From blind taste tests and celebrity endorsements to environmental controversies and anti-Coke activism, this episode examines both the genius and the chaos behind one of the world’s most iconic brands. Stay for the laughs, the history lessons, and the heated debates about marketing, psychology, and human behavior.

In this episode of Some Topic, we pick up where Part 1 left off — diving deeper into the chaotic, bowtie-wearing world of Bill Nye. From oversimplified DNA claims to the infamous Miller-Urey experiment, the hosts explore where Bill Nye made science accessible, where he hilariously missed the mark, and what that meant for generations of future scientists (and confused kids everywhere).

Expect tangents on Antarctic vs. Arctic, cow farts, polar bears, and the weird intersection of Hollywood spectacle and educational science. The discussion touches on creationism debates, pseudoscience, and whether entertainment should ever outweigh accuracy — all while questioning if “science rules” or if we’re just watching a really long Disney special with special effects.

Between caffeine-fueled rants, philosophical detours, and questionable historical takes, the hosts try to answer the ultimate question: did Bill Nye spread curiosity and knowledge — or just create memorable, slightly inaccurate chaos?

If you grew up watching Bill Nye on a rolling TV cart in your classroom, or if you just enjoy laughing at two people attempting to take science seriously while failing spectacularly, this episode is for you.
