Show Notes
Episode 97 is another full one with breaking news, politics, MMA, crypto and a few classic Tuesday yarns. We start with some of the day’s breaking news before Avons Butchery owner Dom joins us for his weekly catchup. We talk MMA, life, business and the massive amount of weight he’s lost along the way. David Seymour then joins us for his regular Tuesday segment to talk through ACT’s policies around crypto, fisheries and residency, plus what the party is pushing for and why. Tama Singh is back for his weekly Tuesday segment too. We get into the conversation around women pilots being called “Tama Tate”, he checks in on how I’m doing after the George fallout, and we talk about Elon Musk’s view that university can be a scam unless you’re going into something where the qualification is absolutely necessary like medicine or surgery. Politics, business, health, MMA, education, crypto and plenty of random side roads in between. Another proper Tuesday on Shubz Says So.
