Welcome to episode 38 of the Weekly Sceptic – live from the Emmanuel Centre in London! The first ever Weekly Sceptic Live was a huge success. The event was sold out, and the feedback was amazing. Massive thanks to everyone who came along. Nick opens the show with five minutes of comedic genius, then Nick and Toby discuss: -Meghan and Harry’s alleged car chase -The continued fallout from NatCon -Insane immigration levels under the Tories -The closure of Triggernometry’s bank account -The rapid decline of Radio 4 (to unexpected cheers from the crowd!) They then move to Birdwatch, focusing on Elon Musk’s recent interview, followed, of course, by ‘Peak Woke’. Daily Sceptic editor Will Jones makes a special appearance, as does a highly famous mystery guest (you will have to listen to find out who!). The show ends with a Q&A, featuring some unsurprisingly intelligent questions from you, our wise and discerning audience. A great night, and a great podcast that is well worth a listen whether you were there or not! The event was very kindly sponsored by CAR26, organised by the brilliant Lois Perry.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 37! Nick and Toby discuss the National Conservatism conference, having both attended the gala dinner at the Natural History Museum on Monday night. Why has the liberal left convinced itself that it’s some kind of neo-Nazi convention, when the driving force behind National Conservatism is the Israeli intellectual Yarom Hazony? They also defend Douglas Murray, who has been attacked on Twitter for saying in his speech at the gala dinner that Germany has given nationalism a bad name by having ‘mucked up’ twice in the 20th Century. Don’t the haters understand ironic understatement? They go on to discuss the remarks of Sir Simon Macdonald, formerly the top man at the Foreign Office, who bad-mouthed Britain in an interview in the New Statesman. Nick has some sympathies for his gloomy assessment of Britain’s future as a global power – it doesn’t have one, basically – while Toby says he might as well have hoisted the Chinese flag above Whitehall. The next topic is Donald Trump’s ‘Town Hall’, which Nick describes as ‘CNN’s Trump Comedy Special’. The boys agree that Trump projected masculine power, and Nick particularly enjoyed Trump telling the audience that the plaintiff in the recent sexual assault case against him has a cat called ‘Vagina’. But Toby says this might not have been an example of the liberal media shooting itself in the foot, as everyone claims. After all, if it helped to consolidate Trump’s status as the Republican front runner, then that will probably help Joe Biden, who Toby thinks will fare better in a run-off against the former President than against Ron DeSantis. They then talk about the extraordinary amounts of money raised for the defence of Daniel Penny, the ex-marine accused of killing Jordan Neely, and agree that his prosecution is an unwelcome development since it will mean have-a-go-heroes are less likely to intervene to protect the weak and vulnerable from violent males in future. They take time out to marvel at the new ad for Miller Lite, which credits women with inventing beer. Toby says it’s as if Miller Lite saw the damage that Bud Light’s embrace of woke gobbledegook was doing to its sales and said, ‘Hold my beer.’ In Birdwatch, the boys talk about Tucker Carlson’s forthcoming show on Twitter and puzzle over Elon Musk’s appointment of Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO. Does this represent a pivot away from a subscriber-funded platform back to an advertiser-funded one? And what will that mean for free speech on Twitter? Daily Sceptic Editor Will Jones then makes an appearance to talk about the top stories of the week on the site. Finally, the boys compete to see who can come up with the most egregious example of Peak Woke. Sponsored by: -The Stack Assistant.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 36! Nick and Toby discuss the coronation, the arrested protesters and the selective outrage of the ‘free speech’ supporters (who were notably silent during the lockdown protests). Nick admires Penny Mordaunt’s big sword and predicts a Meghan/Xena-esque response. They debate whether an absolute monarchy would be preferable to a constitutional one.  Nick and Toby discuss whether they believe the Queen said Meghan was evil — Toby is sceptical, even though he thinks it’s true.   The Tories got smashed in the local elections and Toby and Nick discuss whether the Conservatives are finished or not.  Andrew Doyle hosted a televised debate between Andrew Bridgen and Fraser Myers about Myers’ polemical attack on Bridgen in Spiked. The boys discuss who did better and why it may have been a missed opportunity.  They then move on to ‘Across the Pond’, the section of the show about the US, and he and Toby discuss the accidental killing by choking/restraint of a threatening homeless man (Jordan Neely) on a New York subway train. Tucker vs Fox heats up a little as Tucker says he’s going to go nuclear. And Toby brings us the latest on the Bud Lite / Dylan Mulvaney saga and whether Bud Lite may have, in fact, got a raw deal. And Nick discusses the rumour that a former first lady might, in fact, be a man. Nick then falls into a very deep rabbit hole.  This week’s first sponsor is The Stack Assistant and you can reach him to organise a free Zoom consultation about Bitcoin at thestackassistant@pm.me.  Dr Will Jones joins Nick for his regular slot discussing the week’s most interesting stories from The Daily Sceptic.  This show’s second sponsor is Thor Holt and you can connect with him at https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/.  You can still get Weekly Sceptic Live show tickets (May 20th at the Emmanuel Centre) at Eventbrite.com.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 35! Nick and Toby discuss their hilarious new insults from their deranged Twitter hate followers. Nick comes face to face with the North London blob — no, that’s not a euphemism for the Jews — and he and Toby wonder what kind of person goes to Alistair Campbell’s podcast live? Toby and Nick discuss whether the cartoon of Richard Sharp in The Guardian was antisemitic or not. And whether Richard Sharp’s appointment after helping Boris get a six figure loan was a greater conflict of interest than Sue Gray’s (secret) relationship with Starmer while she was leading the Partygate investigation. Jess Philips got caught out in what sounds like a lie regarding when she bought her first home – Toby and Nick discuss what was behind her weirdly conflicting claims. A scathing critique of Andrew Bridgen appeared in Spiked, which Nick and Toby disagree about — Toby thinks Andrew does the cause no favours by exaggerating vaccine harms, whereas Nick thinks you shouldn’t kick a man when he’s down.  This week’s first sponsor is The Stack Assistant and you can reach him to organise a free Zoom consultation about Bitcoin at thestackassistant@pm.me Nick complains that this podcast is interfering with his carefully-planned footballing diet – so eats a sandwich. After which the boys discuss Steven Crowder’s divorce, whether Crowder should invest in a bike and whether Toby made a mistake by buying a Ring doorbell. Nick toys with a new section about our American cousins — provisionally-entitled ‘Pond Scum’ — and then goes on to discuss Tucker Carlson’s mega watched video and whether a political career beckons for him. Get your live Weekly Sceptic live show tickets (20 May) at Eventbrite.com – there are only 37 left… Continuing feel good stories from the US – the boys chat about Vice going woke and broke and Bud Light’s continued journey down the crapper… This week’s second sponsor is Thor Holt and you can connect with him at https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ Nick and Will Jones go over the most interesting recent stories from the Daily Sceptic.

Welcome to this week’s (slightly late) Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 34! Nick and Toby discuss Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox and what may be the real story behind it. The boys consider BuzzFeed’s demise and whether the ‘listicle’ will be missed or not. Anheuser-Busch puts Alissa Heinerscheid ‘on leave’, prompting Toby to extol the advantages of being honest when you’ve been fired, whilst recalling how his impressive hacking skills cost him his job at the Times. Toby and Nick discuss Diane Abbott’s peculiar letter to the Observer, and her laughable attempt at backtracking, despite the fact that many of her woke fellow travellers subscribe to the same bonkers intersectional orthodoxy. Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Conservative party. Nick and Toby discuss why, and what the future may hold for him. Dominic Raab has resigned under Kafkaesque circumstances. Is this just a hit job by the blob? Comic titan Barry Humphries sadly passes away. Nick and Toby discuss the revolting hypocrisy of those lamenting his passing who had, only a few years ago, called for his cancellation. This week’s sponsor is Thor Holt. You can connect with him at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ Dr. Will Jones and Nick go over the most interesting recent stories from the Daily Sceptic.   Jacob Rees-Mogg 'debates' Marina Purkiss on GB News, and the lads discuss whether she ‘owned’ Jacob, or whether she was simply unable to comprehend that someone may have a different opinion to her and the echo chamber in which she resides.  In this week’s Birdwatch, Nick discusses Elon trolling Stephen King and other celebs with Blue Ticks And the boys compete for the title of 'Peak Woke'.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 33! Nick and Toby revisit Bud Light’s disastrous decision to pay Dylan Mulvany to endorse its product. They discuss whether this is a turning point in the pushback against woke corporations and wonder if the Right should embrace the same tactics as the Left, i.e., encourage people to boycott companies they disapprove of. In our regular section ‘Birdwatch’, the boys discuss Elon’s evisceration of a BBC tech correspondent and why it’s so damaging for legacy media companies like the BBC to be caught trafficking in misinformation when trustworthiness is supposed to be their great asset. They then talk about the latest Just Stop Oil protest, which involved orange powder and a snooker table, and forensically analyse the protestor’s Patreon page. Joe Biden visited Ireland and Nick and Toby discuss his gaffe-ridden tour and how on earth this has persuaded him to run for president again. Can he win re-election? Not according to Dominic Cummings, who has used AI to predict a Trump victory in a Biden-Trump contest. This week’s sponsor is Simple SEOMan, who you can contact via email on guy@simpleseoman.co.uk.

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.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 31! Donald Trump has been indicted by the New York District Attorney – Toby and Nick discuss what might be behind it. Andrew Tate (Top G) has been released, is under house arrest and is back on Twitter! Nick and Toby debate Tate’s meteoric, mythological (and unlikely) path to fame and notoriety. And whether Tate is a useful ally or not… And whether or not Toby might have become a Top G, had he be raised in Luton. Trans madness continues unabated since last week with the media outdoing themselves referring to the recent school shooting in America, with Christianity being blamed for the tragedy. Nick and Toby discuss this as well as if and why the elites are promoting wokery… Rishi Sunak is threatening to combat grooming gangs – Toby and Nick consider the predictable meltdown on Twitter as well as whether this was, in fact, a trap set for the Labour party. Birdwatch makes a welcome return this week with the boys discussing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s possible sock puppet Twitter account making threats to Matt Walsh and the rising temperature of political discourse in the US. Will Jones and Nick catch up about the most interesting recent stories from The Daily Sceptic. Toby and Nick wrestle for this week’s Peak Woke title, the boys discuss anti woke drama (and how much they love the Australian series, Mr Inbetween) and Nick reads out the latest reviews of the podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 30! Toby and Nick discuss the attack on Kellie-Jay Keen by trans rights activists in New Zealand and Nick’s resulting journey from mens’ rights activist to radical feminist. In other trans related news, transwomen are no longer allowed to compete in international athletics. In the third trans story this week, the boys discuss the trans shooter, Audrey Hale, and the slightly deranged reaction. And In this week’s final trans story, they discuss the woeful tale of Zara Jade, a convicted male rapist who tied up and stabbed his partner, but referred to by the BBC as a ‘woman’, naturally. They talk about Eddie Izzard being trolled by Leo Kearse and the brutal cancellation of comedian Alfie Brown by people with ‘be nice’ in their Twitter bios.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 29! Toby and Nick discuss Trump’s arrest and how Ron DeSantis may react. They then talk about the infamous Suella Braverman picture and the thousands of subsequent Auschwitz memes shared on Twitter by people who were only a month ago railing against Andrew Bridgen’s Holocaust quote. Nick and Toby go on to discuss the distinction between ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’ and ‘malinformation’… They then speak about the British Police turning away from enforcing free speech rights whilst spending time (and taxpayer money) on woke diversity training. And Nick and Toby discuss the glorious implosion of the SNP! Boris is back in the news – with hostilities resuming between he and Dominic Cummings.

Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 28! This week, Nick and Toby discuss Gary Lineker’s heroic stand against the BBC as well as how scared the Government is of footballers. They discuss Fiona Bruce being criticised for adding a legal disclaimer (at the behest of a producer) to a reference to Stanley Johnson’s alleged domestic abuse. Toby discusses the recent victory against the Orwellian ‘non crime hate incidents’ and Nick suggests a clever way to get the police to take burglary a little more seriously. Nick and Toby discuss the Jan 6th ‘insurrection’ footage, the Q-Anon Shaman’s treatment, the potential provocateur infiltrators and the inevitable media reaction. They also chat about Hugh Grant being interviewed on the red carpet and how his intolerant petulance – why is this ex-model bothering me? – went viral.

In this week’s episode, Toby and Nick discuss who emerges as the most loathsome character in the Lockdown Files, Matt Hancock, Simon Case or the duo of Slackie and Lee? They also discuss why so many senior journalists and broadcasters appear to be more outraged by the fact that Isabel Oakeshott gave Hancock’s WhatsApp messages to the Telegraph, apparently breaking a non-disclosure agreement, than they are by the scandalous revelations the messages contain. Next, they consider whether Sue Gray joining Keir Starmer’s staff is a man-bites-dog story or a dog-bites-man story. Toby thinks it’s the latter – after all, didn’t we already know that most senior civil servants are Labour supporters? They go on to discuss Michael Knowles’s comments about wanting to ‘eradicate’ trans ideology at CPAC and whether that was deliberately misinterpreted by woke journalists as wanting to ‘eradicate’ trans people, or whether those journalists believe – alongside trans rights activists – that any challenge to trans ideology is tantamount to erasing trans people? They also talk about Stella Creasy’s amendment to the Public Order Bill which would create ‘buffer zones’ around abortion clinics in England and Wales and the recent arrest of the Christian campaigner Isabel Vaughn-Spruce for silently praying outside an abortion clinic and puzzle over why she’s been arrested again when the last time it happened the charges against her were dropped. In the last item before the break, they discuss Chris Rock’s swipe at Meghan Markle in his latest Netflix comedy special and agree that Rock, while good, isn’t as funny as Dave Chapelle. They also wonder whether comedians are now the only people left who can get away with attacking sacred cows and try to devise a test whereby Toby writes a defence of Prince Andrew in the Spectator and Nick includes one in a stand-up routine and they wait to see if Toby gets cancelled but Nick doesn’t. This week's sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/, https://thorholt.substack.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his telegram channel at @thor_holt. Will Jones then joins Nick to talk about the big stories in the Daily Sceptic in the past seven days: a new study saying mRNA vaccines contain DNA that may turn human cells into spike protein factories; the risk that Net Zero policies will cause global starvation, according to two top climate scientists; whether the number of births in England fell in 2022 compared to 2021 and, if so, whether that’s linked to the Covid vaccines; the rise in hormone prescriptions since 2020; and new scientific evidence suggesting temperatures have been stable in Greenland for 60 years, save for a sudden jump of one degree in 1994. In Peak Woke, Nick offers up drag queen baby raves, while Toby volunteers the removal of any Christian content from songs the Girl Guides since around the campfire. Finally, we are blessed with another visit from Dr Jordan Peterson, who answers listeners’ problems, including a query about whether if you dressed as a women to go to a party you could get away with blackface, claiming you’d come as a ‘woman of colour’.

Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic - episode 26… The boys discuss Jacob Rees-Mogg’s GB News debut, Rishi’s Northern Ireland deal and the prominent brexiteers’ reaction to it. Nick and Toby discuss the ‘desecration’ of the Quran by pupils at a Wakefield school and whether, because of multiculturalism, Britain now has unofficial blasphemy laws. Shamima Begum makes a return to the news and Nick and Toby discuss people’s varying reactions (as well as their own) to her wishing to return. Scott Adams has been completely cancelled and the boys go into detail regarding whether it was justified, whether Adams is on the spectrum (and then, of course, inevitably they discuss whether they themselves are on the spectrum).  This week's sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://thorholt.substack.com/  https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his Telegram channel at @thor_holt (visit https://belle-epoque.co.uk/ for Thor’s meet up).

Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic - episode 25! Toby and Nick discuss the ruination of Roald Dahl and Rudyard Kipling’s writings – much to the fury of Nick, Rishi Sunak and Salman Rushdie! Nicola Sturgeon has gone – but Toby and Nick wonder whether she might be replaced by someone even worse? Nick and Toby then reflect that people who subscribe to orthodox beliefs seem to suffer compared to those with other beliefs. Toby then unexpectedly lends his support to the leadership aspirations of the truly awful Humza Yousaf…  Nick talks about the woke and chilling AI chatbots and then attempts to describe what ‘prompt injection attack’ is. Toby talks about AI gold rushes, recounts Google’s recent embarrassing moment and subsequent loss of market cap and the boys finish off the segment on the nature of sentience.  Nick and Toby then discuss South Park’s hilarious lampooning of Harry and Meghan (spoiler: Meghan takes offence, obviously).  Birdwatch makes a return and the boys discuss the 'Konstantin Kisin vs Matt Walsh' spat on Twitter regarding the long awaited backlash to woke…  This week’s first sponsor is The Jasmine Sari by Philip Tucker, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TVFGV8S Dr Will Jones joins Nick to discuss the week’s most interesting stories as featured in the Daily Sceptic.  This week's second sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://thorholt.substack.com/  https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his Telegram channel at @thor_holt (visit https://belle-epoque.co.uk/ for Thor’s meet up).

This week, Toby and Nick discuss the attacks against GB News and the ongoing smears against Neil Oliver, Ian Dunt’s double standards, the failing attempts to weaponise Ofcom and Mark Steyn’s departure from GB News.

Nick and Toby discuss Britain’s new terror threat, Jacob Rees-Mogg, the ever broadening definition right wing extremism, how Prevent seems to ignore actual terrorism and how Britain’s liberal elite’s obsession with ‘far right extremism’ is creating a new British Stasi. Nick discusses his Daily Sceptic article on Lee Anderson and the death penalty and Toby talks about how reluctant British juries are to convict these days. They go on to discuss a Yale economics professor’s controversial solution to Japan’s growing aging population and how Samantha Pressdee wrote an article in comedian trade mag Chortle saying comedians are all self-censoring wimps, only to get her show cancelled.

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic – where Toby and Nick discuss how Liz Truss’s downfall was more to do with the Bank of England, Pension Funds and LDIs, rather than her ‘Low Tax/High Growth’ policies. They talk about Rishi’s reshuffle – with Kemi Badenoch having been given the larger role of International Trade and Business. Toby recalls an uncharacteristically funny story by Stewart Lee about Grant Shapps – who was also reshuffled to the somewhat oxymoronic Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Nick and Toby also discuss the pathetic examples of Dominic Raab’s so called ‘bullying’ of civil servants (aka holding staff to high standards, like spelling correctly). Nick and Toby discuss whether The Grammys were Satanic or just naff. Toby posits that back in the day – David Bowie dressing as a woman (whilst actually being incredibly talented) was genuinely counter cultural; compared to the low quality musical output from ‘brave’ woke performers who are simply swimming with the tide. Nick suggests that maybe Elvis’s hips were to blame and Mary Whitehouse was right...

And when The Guardian tweeted out for women to share examples of online misogyny, they got a lot of answers that they weren’t expecting. Nick discusses the ongoing saga of Andrew Tate and his poignant posts from inside Romanian prison. And a ‘victim’ of Tate speaks out.

In this week’s episode Toby and Nick discuss Toby’s appearance on the shadowy 77th Brigade’s watch list (along with Julia Hartley-Brewer, David Davies MP and Peter Hitchens) and the explosive Project Veritas story regarding Pfizer’s gain of function research (and the subsequent and impressive scrubbing of stories on the internet by Big Pharma and Big Tech). They chat about Nadhim Zahawi’s tax woes, his early departure from the Cabinet and his mixed covid record. And Nick reflects on how strange life is now, being colleagues on GB News with Jacob Rees-Mogg… And then Nick and Toby invent ‘Corbyn Corner’ a show featuring Jezza and Piers: in episode one they talk about how the Rothschilds control the world’s media!

Welcome back to this week’s episode where Toby and Nick discuss how the global elite, after a hard day’s work saving the planet, like to pick up prostitutes in Davos. They consider Clarkson’s recent column in the Sunday Times (and Toby’s summary of it in the Daily Sceptic, which went viral) where Jeremy and his son discuss the war on free speech and Nick and Toby develop their idea for a reality show for cancelled celebrities. Nick talks about Steven Crowder turning down the Daily Wire’s paltry $50 million offer and discusses his Daily Sceptic piece on the same being given a C– by an anonymous GETTR user. They go on to wonder why no-one is offering them $50 million dollars to appear on a YouTube channel, which Nick attributes to American media personalities having higher expectations than their British counterparts. Nick and Toby go on to describe the chasm between how celebs are treated in the UK compared to the US and they both lament about not getting enough make-up on GB News. This week's first sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://thorholt.substack.com/  https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his Telegram channel at @thor_holt (visit https://belle-epoque.co.uk/ for Thor’s meet up) Toby and Nick talk about the hilarious parody Twitter account ‘TCMA’ completely fooling the media while tweeting out that ‘Natural Woman’ by Aretha Franklin was offensive and Lionel Richie’s ‘Three times a Lady’ was in fact a story about a non-binary person. And they wonder where the parody trans teacher with the large breasts went. Toby brings Nick up to speed about the latest Government plan to ban LGBT conversion therapy and why this might actually be much worse than it sounds.

In this week’s super-sized episode, Toby and Nick discuss the Oxford Union debate –‘Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far’ – in which he and Konstantin Kisin both spoke in favour of the motion. Toby describes how Konstantin’s speech has racked up 20 million views on Twitter compared to his 30,000 (which Nick attributes to Russian interference). They also discuss Reginald D Hunter’s lazy smear against GB News and Stop Funding Hate’s targeting of Nick’s now famous ‘peanut allergy’ analogy to describe the over-sized influence of the trans lobby.  They then move on to talking about Nick’s Andrew Bridgen article in the Daily Sceptic – ‘A Bridgen Too Far’ – and whether invoking the holocaust is ever a wise move. This week's first sponsor is The Jasmine Sari by Philip Tucker, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TVFGV8S Nick and Toby theorise about what’s behind the Conservative MP Steve Baker’s recent tweet about being an LGBT+ ally – Nick thinks it’s because Left-wing ideas have now captured even the right of the Tory Party, while Toby thinks he’s trying to shore up his woke credentials because he’ll be looking for a job in the tech sector after the election. They chat about Clarkson and the futility of apologising to a woke Twitchfork mob, how Harry accuses everyone of being a hatemonger (yet spews a fair amount of bile in his book) and how, within businesses, the pursuit of high social status seems to have replaced the profit motive. Toby and Nick develop an idea for a new reality show called ‘So you’ve been cancelled’ in which Jeremy Clarkson, Jordan Peterson and JK Rowling duke it out for top honours. This week’s second sponsor is Dan Gaskin at Crest Mortgages: https://www.crestmortgages.co.uk/ 0116 5023 000 Nick and Will Jones talk about the week’s most interesting stories in the Daily Sceptic and Toby and Nick discuss everybody’s favourite pantomime villain in Davos and Toby tries to persuade Nick that Klaus Schwab isn’t quite as powerful as he pretends to be, while Nick delivers a sobering rejoinder… This week’s last sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/, https://thorholt.substack.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his telegram channel at @thor_holt (visit https://belle-epoque.co.uk/ for Thor’s meet up) And… Peak Woke is back!

In this week’s episode, Toby and Nick discuss Nick making it into the once great and edgy, but now ‘mouthpiece of the establishment’, Private Eye, how comedy has been captured by identity politics and how GB News is perceived by the wokies (who never actually watch it). Alistair Campbell attacks Toby for being white and not Trans (while at the same time outing himself as not in step with the LGBT lobby), Nick discusses his genius peanut allergy analogy and Toby discusses how Nicola Sturgeon is spending what remains of her political capitol trying to win the miniscule Trans vote. Toby rallies behind victims of ‘shy bladder syndrome’ and Nick announces that controversialist Andrew Tate actually has ‘aggressive bladder syndrome’, judging by how unconcerned he was when Nick observed him peeing at GB News. Also this week, the great Dr Jordan Peterson is accused of wrongthink by the College of Psychologists of Ontario – who have summoned him to attend a Maoist political reprogramming session (to be paid for by Peterson!) and Nick accidentally establishes Canada’s branch of the Free Speech Union. This week’s first sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his telegram channel at @thor_holt  Nick and Toby chat about the latest news on Andrew Tate and the moral panic he has caused in schools, how the media and the court of public opinion presumes guilt rather than innocence and the boys puzzle over Andrew Tate’s conversion to Islam. Harry’s been in the news (in case you missed it) and Nick and Toby discuss whether Jeremy Clarkson may have written ‘Spare’, Mr Markle’s plummeting popularity and whether the publisher may have been attempting to sex up an otherwise dull read with a frozen todger story here and a Taliban body count story there… In a shorter than usual Birdwatch, the boys discuss the most recent tranche of dissidents freed from Twitter jail and the latest revelations from the Twitter files. This week’s second sponsor is Dan Gaskin at Crest Mortgages: https://www.crestmortgages.co.uk/ 0116 5023 000 Nick is joined, once again, by Will Jones in a round-up of this week’s pick of the crop from the Daily Sceptic.

Happy New Year! Nick and Toby discuss their new year’s resolutions (Toby to drink less, Nick to drink more, Toby and Nick to lose weight and Nick to start boxing). Andrew Tate makes another major appearance in the news (and in this week’s episode) in a new section called ‘The Top G Spot’ and the boys talk about the myriad of theories surrounding Tate’s arrest in Romania and the predictable reaction of the left leaning mob. This week's first sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/ or on his telegram channel at @thor_holt  Toby and Nick discuss Carl Benjamin and Peter Hitchens’ twitter spat in ‘Birdwatch’, Nick floats off in a ‘what if’ hypothetical flight of fancy and they discuss whether apologies work with the left. And Jordan Peterson even wades in to the discussion to try and make peace!

In this, the last Weekly Sceptic episode of the year, Nick and Toby run through their Christmas experiences, Charles’ lacklustre multicultural King’s speech, Rishi’s awkward homeless PR flop and Scotland’s (and the UK’s) gender recognition bill.  The boys discuss the arrest of a woman praying in a ‘public space buffer zone’ and whether this law may be extended nationally.  Toby and Nick discuss the covid Twitter files in this week’s edition of Birdwatch, how Martin Kulldorff’s peer review citing tweets were suppressed by Twitter, how Twitter was happy to follow various governments bidding to suppress bona fide medical debate and how that suppression of debate may actually have caused harm.  Nick and Toby discuss their professional and personal highs and lows of 2022 and, of course, they contest this week’s title of ‘Peak Woke’.  Please go to https://dailysceptic.org/ and make a donation so we can continue to bring you all this high quality content.

Nick and Toby discuss the Jeremy Clarkson pile on by brave and virtuous celebrities, comedians (apparatchiks?) and politicians, Chris Packham’s desire to jail people whose jokes he doesn’t like and how you must never, ever apologise to the mob… They talk about the ongoing soap opera that is Twitter in ‘Birdwatch’, the BBC’s reaction to Oxford’s ‘traffic calming’ measures, commissar Gary Neville’s continuing hypocrisy and his ham fisted comparison of NHS nurses to the plight of Qatari labourers, how families get in the way of sports tv, Mbappé’s hilarious snubbing of Macron and whether the world cup was, in fact, rigged… Nick is joined again by The Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones, to discuss this week’s featured stories. Nick talks about meeting the internet’s most cancelled man, Andrew Tate – and almost fails to mention his (Nick’s) meeting Will Smith when scriptwriting in Hollywood. Toby and Nick also talk about Nick’s UnHerd debate and his subsequent rising profile as a public intellectual!

Toby and Nick chat about Meghan and the whipped Harry’s new Netflix documentary and how unsympathetically she comes across, how long planned this project has been in the planning and how much their life is a woke victim parody of itself. We revisit a new(ish) segment discussing all the juicy Twitter Files revelations – called ‘Birdwatch’: how a power hungry group of authoritarian nerds censored Trump, how Elon ignored the obvious choice of Toby to release the documents to – and why the mainstream news outlets have ignored this massive story. And we discuss what an Otter might be in LGBT circles… Nick and Toby debate at length whether mainstream journalists are now beyond hope, reason or salvation and can ever be trusted to be objective or truthful with big stories like Twitter. They talk about how incredibly important this debate is on our side of the fence – referring to a piece in the National Review about Toby’s similar discussions with James Delingpole in London Calling and how open dialogue and freedom of expression sets the better tone. Nick is joined again this week by The Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones, to discuss this week’s featured stories.

Nick and Toby discuss whether (Kan)Ye West is mentally imploding, destroying the system or creating performance art. They also debate whether Ye praising Hitler is better or worse than Diane Abbott praising Chairman Mao… They talk about the limits of free speech, whether Dinosaurs are real and Twitter colluding with the Democrats to stifle the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. And of course Trump’s reaction to the Twitter bombshells (and the inevitable left wing meltdown)… Toby and Nick talk about Meghan and Harry’s Netflix release timing, Charles’s reported fondness for B.O. and the Dixon family’s intolerance of Whisky. They debate the shifting demographics of the UK and whether mass migration has been a success compared to the rest of Europe.

They also discuss the Donald being reinstated to Twitter (yet choosing not to return), the inevitable blue tick meltdown, the other returning Twitter dissidents and whether Elon Musk is a benign dictator.  The DailySceptic’s editor, Will Jones, joins Nick to run through this week’s featured stories.  And lastly Nick and Toby wrestle (figuratively) for this week’s weekly crown of ‘Peak Woke’.  Please go to https://dailysceptic.org/ and make a donation so we can keep bringing you all this high quality content.  This week's sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorholt/  or on his telegram channel at @thor_holt  Nick’s substack: https://nickdixon.substack.com/ Free Speech Union Comedy Night: https://freespeechunion.org/events/ Produced by Jason Clift  Music by Tinderella 

Toby and Nick are back this week to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Trump and DeSantis, Dominic Raab’s tomato hurling, government officials not being able to cope with hurty feelings, FTX and laundering allegations, advertising agencies threatening twitter and how GB News could shield themselves from ideological sabotage/lobbying.  They speak about Dave Chappelle’s SNL controversy, how comedians have become incredibly important again, how uninspiring international football tournaments have become and how unbelievably hypocritical the current crop of prominent England football virtue signallers are being, by agreeing to take a repressive regime like Qatar’s money.  Nick is joined by DailySceptic’s editor, Will Jones, to discuss the past week’s most interesting stories.

This week, Nick chats with Toby (threat to the Chinese Communist Party and ‘Destroyer of Britain’) about how awful ‘I’m a Celebrity’ is, the decline of Ant and Dec, the disappointing absence of Matt Hancock, Boy George’s colourful past and Nick’s amazing reality show idea: ‘Culture Wars’.  They also discuss Gary Neville’s dim-witted defence of his pathetic lack of principles, Rishi’s U Turn on attending Cop27, Britain being asked to pay reparations for post industrialisation climate change damage and Boris’s pitiful response.  Birthday boy Nick is joined by the Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones to cover the recent week’s most interesting stories.  Toby and Nick then talk about yet another Christian falling foul of the inclusive Lib Dems, how Christians who espouse orthodox beliefs are treated as mad by the Church of England, the ongoing Elon-Twitter saga, dark money pressure on advertisers, how business should never attempt to appease the leftist mob …and this week’s contenders for Peak Woke!  Please go to https://dailysceptic.org/ and make a donation so we can keep bringing you all this high quality content.  This week's sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/ or on his telegram channel at @thor­_holt  Nick’s substack: https://nickdixon.substack.com/ Produced by Jason Clift  Music by Tinderella 

Toby and Nick discuss Matt Hancock being forced to eat a kangaroo scrotum in Australia, how Toby sabotaged his own chances of appearing on I’m a Celebrity, what it would take for Nick to take part, the remainer media trying to force Suella out, whether the word ‘invasion’ is racist and whether Rishi is ok or not. Nick and Toby discuss Elon, the chief twit, and his take on the Paul Pelosi ‘incident’, the savage (and encouraging) sackings at the top level of Twitter and how paying for a blue check mark devalues the concept. They discuss the toxicity of the hard left campaign group ‘Stop Funding Hate’ and the mischaracterisation of their targets, the unbelievable balance and fair play of GB News and an incredibly tone deaf piece in the Atlantic where the author forgives herself for 2 years of hive minded bad judgement and authoritarian behaviour Nick is joined by the Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones, for a rundown of last week’s most interesting stories And lastly Nick and Toby vie for this week’s title of Peak Woke with the usual mad offerings Please go to https://dailysceptic.org/ and make a donation so we can keep bringing you all this high quality content.  This week's sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here: https://www.thorholt.com/ or on his telegram channel at @thor­_holt  Nick’s substack: https://nickdixon.substack.com/ Produced by Jason Clift  Music by Tinderella   

Toby and Nick discuss how voting for your party leader is old fashioned, Toby’s impotent fury, whether Rishi can withstand the pressure to hold a swift election, are gilt yield levels now in charge, why Kemi and Suella threw Boris under the bus, whether Rishi is still a socialist, JRM abasing himself before getting the boot, Nick’s belated advice to a ‘based’ Jacob, Craig David Karaoke, how our pint size PM might be a role model and how Nick is actually normal height.  They speak about the BBC’s Martine Croxall’s suspension over her predictably partial approach to the news, why Boris triggers so many people, why the puritans still hate the cavaliers, whether Eddie Izzard should be included on an all-woman shortlist (and whether Dick Emery could have run for Labour). Nick and Toby then spend some time discussing pronouns and whether it is, in fact, harmful to perpetuate gender ideology language.  After a brief discussion about Rishi’s new cabinet, Toby and Nick discuss whether Channel 4’s transgender pianist broke the law and why Jerry Sadowitz isn’t allowed to wave his w!lly around.  Nick is joined by the Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones, for a rundown of the past week’s most interesting stories.  And lastly, Peak Woke returns with the usual high quality offerings.

Nick and Toby discuss John Cleese joining GB news (and the ensuing and inevitable left wing meltdown), how the ‘cancelled’ are so much more entertaining than the ‘non-cancelled’, a couple of shameless plugs, Andrew Tate’s new BBC primetime show, Hugo’s magic carpet ride and man of the people, Jay Rayner. They cover how libertarian conservatism is the new punk rock, Stewart Lee’s continuing failure to recognise that he is now part of the establishment, Kanye West’s recent swift rise and abrupt fall, whether white people are ok or not, Mermaids’ spectacular own goal, why people filled with so much bilious hatred so often occupy ‘equality’ positions, why women (and not men) attract hostility – whether it’s from pro mask zealots or road rage and Paypal’s continued decline.
