Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 97 This week Nick and Toby talk about: The strangeness of Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it’s given rise to. Was Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the 15-minute gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala Harris? Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it’s now obvious the elected President hasn’t been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic? Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? She’s younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago? Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she’s such an awful boss she can’t persuade anyone good to work for her? Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI? And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: Kim Cheatle’s resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt. The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others’ have claimed. Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial. And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.

Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 96 This week Nick and Toby talk about: Where they were when Trump was shot (in the ear). The tsunami of bad takes about the attempt to assassinate the former President, from the Denver Post headline -- "Gunman Dies in Attack" -- to David Badiel half-jokingly suggesting Trump conspired to have himself shot. Was the abject failure of the Secret Service to protect Trump a cock-up or a conspiracy? Toby thinks cock-up, Nick isn't so sure. The fact that Biden has also benefitted from the failed assassination attempt in the that is has snuffed out the coup to replace him and made replacing him less attractive since Trump's victory is now nailed on. And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: Trump picking JD Vance as his running mate, which both Toby and Nick think is smart. England's loss in the Euro finals and Gareth Southgate's resignation as manager. Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the Science Museum's decision to stop being funded by a Norwegian energy company and Toby rails against the Key's advice to teachers to liken the British Empire to Nazi Germany. A new section devoted to the most egregious examples of anarcho-tyranny in the past week. And in the Based Department, the clear winner is Donald Trump -- what could be more based than reacting like he did to being shot at -- and the runner up is Health Secretary Wes Streeting for making his predecessor's temporary ban on puberty blockers permanent.

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 Harrys alleged car chase — The continued fallout from NatCon — Insane immigration levels under the Tories — The closure of Triggernometrys bank account — The rapid decline of Radio 4 (to unexpected cheers from the crowd!) They then move to Birdwatch, focusing on Elon Musks 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 weeks Weekly Scepticpodcast 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 its 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. Dont 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 Britains future as a global power it doesnt have one, basically while Toby says he might as well have hoisted the Chinese flag above Whitehall. The next topic is Donald Trumps Town Hall, which Nick describes as CNNs 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 Trumps 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 its as if Miller Lite saw the damage that Bud Lights embrace of woke gobbledegook was doing to its sales and said, Hold my beer. In Birdwatch, the boys talk about Tucker Carlsons forthcoming show on Twitter and puzzle over Elon Musks 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.

In this weeks 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 Hancocks 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 Starmers staff is a man-bites-dog story or a dog-bites-man story. Toby thinks its the latter after all, didnt we already know that most senior civil servants are Labour supporters? They go on to discuss Michael Knowless 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 Creasys 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 shes 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 Rocks swipe at Meghan Markle in his latest Netflix comedy special and agree that Rock, while good, isnt 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 doesnt. 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 thats 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 youd come as a woman of colour.

Welcome to this weeks Weekly Sceptic where Toby and Nick discuss how Liz Trusss 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 Rishis 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 Raabs 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 Elviss hips were to blame and Mary Whitehouse was right...

And lastly, Nick and Toby vie for this weeks prize of peak woke (and weak poke). Please go to https://dailysceptic.org/ and make a donation so we can keep bringing you all this high quality content.

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 Tates new BBC primetime show, Hugos magic carpet ride and man of the people, Jay Rayner. They cover how libertarian conservatism is the new punk rock, Stewart Lees continuing failure to recognise that he is now part of the establishment, Kanye Wests 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 its from pro mask zealots or road rage and Paypals continued decline. Nick is joined by Daily Sceptic contributor Noah Carl to talk about the likelihood of nuclear Armageddon. And we see a return of Pros and Cons and Peak Woke!
