Mark the Week: What Shane van Gisbergen did in Nascar will never be recognised by the likes of the Halberg Awards

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.   Sam Cane: 6/10 Tricky call this. No, he shouldn’t have done it. But, then having done it I don’t think anyone would begrudge him sending a message to an idiot. But then the mistake was the apology and the All Blacks gear. When the All Blacks are out-woking the woke, the world is upside down.   The Warriors: 8/10 That Parramatta Eels thrashing is as good as a turmeric shot and olive leaf extract in winter.   Te Huia: 2/10 In all honesty, pull the pin. It loses money, it's slower than a car, no one uses it and it can't stop at red lights.   The back up plane for the Prime Minister: 2/10 BS of the week part one. "Nothing to see here, we do it all the time." Oh, whoops, no we don’t.   RATs: 2/10 BS of the week part two. We first don’t know where they are, oh wait, yes we do and a lot of them are no longer of any use. By the way, it cost half a billion dollars for nothing. Then they go and defend it!   Wine: 8/10 $2.3 billion in income to the country. I'll drink to that.   Shane van Gisbergen: 9/10 What he did in America will never be recognised by the likes of a Halberg. But it really was that good.   Threads: 7/10 At 100 million members and growing you can't say it isn't a successful start-up.   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
