Pride Month Comes To An End...
Manage episode 427426211 series 3525558
Pride Month has come and gone, and with it the rainbow flags and banners. So, Piers Mortgan brings rapper and podcast host Zuby, transgender activist and writer Eli Erlick, Uncensored contributor Esther Krakue and comedian and podcast host James Barr together for a timely review of this year’s festivities.
One thing that has been noticed by more than just a few is that in the US, Target have massively scaled back their pride merchandise and observance of the holiday after the conservative backlash, leading many to question their commitment to the queer community in the first place. Conflict then arises when the panel arrives at the topic of trans women in women’s sports. Then we move on to the overnight success of the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl and what it says about western society. Piers also has an interview with Power Slap heroine 'Hungarian Hurricane' Sheena Bathory about her rise and somewhat tragic journey into the brutal new combat sport of slap fighting.

01:27 - 'Woke capitalism'
09:12 - Eli v Piers on trans in Sport
13:43 - Has Pride jumped the shark?
21:23 - Female Power Slapping
33:13 - Roger Waters - legend or loon?
41:58 - Hawk Tuah!
44:33 - The strange new online trend
56:33 - Piers' Pick of the Day
