EFTV - 129: They doxed the giraffe!!!
#EFTV might have some topics we hit up a lot, like the BS of bureaucracy, cancel culture and blaming social media for everything. And we hit those things f'sure, as House of Lords clearly scratched Lord Kilclooney a-hole, Octavian's label and PR dropped him on an allegation without investigation and the fake beef with Fleets. BUT, we also talk about Caster Semenya trying to get the European Court to exempt her elevated testosterone, Eddie Hearn, Terri Harper, Heather Hardy & women's boxing, GPS holding white giraffe's, along with the perils of electrified wingsuits
PLUS, finally got round to checking out Misha Green's 'Lovecraft Country' via NowTV. DAMN, this story was fire. Frustration, anger, joy and hope, all wrapped in tremendous performances from Jurnee Smollett, Jonathan Majors, Wunmi Mosaku, Courtney B Vance, Aunjanue Ellis, Abbey Lee, Jamie Chung & Michael K. Williams is incredible!
AND, our Audible of the week, is of course Luke Smitherd's 'The Empty Men'. We caught up with things last week and this was something a little different, but Smitherd definitely came correct with his unique brand of 'made you look, sucker'.
This week:
- French stuntman dies in wingsuit accident
- Eddie Hearn pays for Terri Harper's (WBC world super-featherweight champ) hand surgery
- Heather Hardy believes boxing is systematically stacked against women
- House of Lords hide behind bureaucracy to protect Lord Kilclooney!
- London rapper Octavian dropped by label before investigation into abuse claims!!!
- Backlash to Fleets, not sure bout that!?!
- White giraffe fitted with GPS to keep it safe....huh!
- Caster Semenya appealing to European Court over her elevated testosterone levels!
- Chin check
