Nike: Just Don’t Do It

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 32! 

Nike Women’s wear and Bud Light chose to commit financial suicide this week by hiring Dylan Mulvaney to be the face of both brands; Nick and Toby discuss how the Corporate Equality Index may be behind these decisions and how it’s becoming increasingly hard to distinguish between the latest woke nonsense and satirical memes. 

Trans rights activists have assaulted another person with whom they disagree – this time it was the turn of swimmer, Riley Gaines, at a speech she gave at San Francisco State University. Toby and Nick discuss this as well as how Gaines was held hostage and how the incident was reported as a ‘peaceful protest’ by the mainstream media. 

Still on the trans subject – Toby discusses the possible inflation of numbers of trans people in the last census. 

Nick discusses Channel 4’s descent into newer depths of depravity – with the release of their new show ‘Naked Education’ – and Toby wonders whether flashers and perverts have simply moved from Hampstead Heath to Channel 4 in the past 30 years. 

Toby and Nick discuss the Dalai Lama asking a young boy to suck his tongue and debate whether the whole thing was so unbelievably weird it wasn’t in fact predatory behaviour… The boys also discuss Joe Biden sniffing the hair of young girls. 

Toby talks about The Workers Protection Bill, explains what a terrible law it would be and his good work to stop it. 

Nick talks about the Labour attack adverts against Rishi Sunak – and their rank hypocrisy. 

In Birdwatch – Toby and Nick discuss Elon labelling NPR and BBC as ‘government funded media’ and taking The New York Times blue checkmark away! 

Nick and Dr Will Jones discuss this week’s most interesting recent stories from the Daily Sceptic. 

And finally, Toby and Nick compete for this week’s Peak Woke title.
