Mark the Week: The war ended the way some thought it would

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. 

 

The war: 6/10 

It ended the way at least some thought it would: within six weeks, with last minute high drama. Now there'll be a bit of back and forward, but eventually, like all Middle East conflicts, we will all go home. 

 

Artemis II: 7/10 

I have failed to get as fizzed as some, but the other side of the moon is cool. The photos were cool, even if you saw the same thing 50 years ago. 

 

The pilot rescue: 6/10 

Brilliantly executed and brilliantly sold, especially by Pete Hegseth. But you only rescue a bloke in a cave if someone shot you out of the sky. Ol' Pete didn’t tell you too much about that. 

 

Commodities: 9/10 

Another week, another record for NZ Inc. Pretty much everything we sell is going gangbusters. 

 

Macron: 7/10 

World leader of the week. When having been insulted by Trump, he told him to be serious and stop talking every day. He sounded adult at a time when Trump sounded deranged, petty and childish.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to mark the week. Little piece of news
and current events that will will need to be tied
to a trampoline which is also tied down when Vayarnu arrives.
Are the war six it's ended the way, at least
some thought anyway it would within six weeks. Last minute
high drama, now a bit of back and forward bit. Eventually,
like all Middle East conflicts, we'll all go home. Artemis seven.

(00:21):
I failed, you know, personally, to get as fizz as
some have this week, but the other side seemed cool.
The photos were cool, even if you saw the same
photos fifty years ago, done by a Codec fuel crisis
seven Early wobbles seven yep seven early wobbles with those
jerry cans. But eventually it's settled, and by the time
the ceasefire came Wednesday, it appeared when we would have
been okay anyway. Irony of ironies. The Pilot Rescue six

(00:44):
A pilot reborn all home and accounted for a Nichan rejoicing,
brilliantly executed, brilliantly sold, especially by Hegseth. But you only
rescue a bloke in a cave if someone shot you
out of the sky and old Peak didn't spend a
lot of time, so I'm talking about that. But JD
four ceasefires are always messy. Now, if you were tossing

(01:05):
up between or barn or Magia this weekend, would some
two ICEE from America swing you vote? I mean really
open AI and people first three watat they offer ideas
for jobs while slashing yours and wanting you to pay
for their service. Is that root or is that genius? Pipes?
Seven PVC and the reality check plastic is everywhere along

(01:27):
with oil. In fact, there's oil and pipes. The renewables
crowd got the rudest of wake up calls these past
five weeks. Saint you reckon commodities nine another week and
other record for New Zealanding. Pretty much everything we sell
going gangbusters, it turns out. Reserve Bank seven a press
conference after each announcement. More detail, more insight, more knowledge,
more Please Apple fifty. I'm not an Apple person, but

(01:50):
you can't hide the brilliance of the story and success.
I mean a garage to multiple trillions. I mean, that's
the American dream, isn't it. Macron seven World Leader of
the Week in my book, When having been insulted by
Trump told him to be serious, stop talking every day.
He sounded adult at a time when Trump sounded deranged,
petty and childish. Alban easy four, easy to forget now
we've got the cease fire. But good leadership is increasingly

(02:12):
rare in commanding primetime television to address the nation only
to tell you people not to panic, is not it?
Speaking of which the governments will response. Seven people are
not going to be sitting at home baking sourdough. No Australia,
the US. We killed them, We spanked them. We were
the adults in the room who explained it, planned for it,
did the job appropriately, while Albanezi gave us sort of
a dun Hipkins vibes and panicked with free cash. And

(02:35):
that's the week. Copies on the website and a wartime
commemorative edition of this will be released. It's point eleven
in the ten point plan. For more from the Mic
Asking Breakfast, listen live to news talks it'd be from
six am weekdays, or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
