Howdy, and happy Wednesday, which remains the real hump day despite what Imo said last week. Happy birthday too, to All Black Brodie Retallick and actor/director Clint Eastwood, 32 and 93 respectively.
We start the show with a chat with philosopher Tim Dare on why struggling sporting teams are repeatedly on the wrong end of calls by officials. Attention: Warriors fans & friends of Warriors fans, this is worth a listen, as well as being a chance to vent about referees.
Then Brad Olsen joins us to explain what an apparent solution to the US debt ceiling (America’s ability to pay its debts) means for us down in little old Aotearoa.
We explain what’s gone down at Australian accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is engulfed in a scandal around a leaked government tax plan.
Finally, if that’s not enough for you, in the US, a powerball winner who pocketed a cool US$2 billion (over NZ$3.3b) is being sued over an allegation the ticket was stolen.
Speaking of, to those of you in tonight’s draw, ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya?
Ka kite.
