We've threatened with lawsuits a huge amount.

Okay, okay.

Actual number of lawsuits is one handful, but we haven't lost any.

That's the key thing.

I always say to our audience.

Undefeated.

That's the thing.

Like, it can be a fractious, albeit functional relationship with our lawyers.

But I think we have like a different view of their job.

Because I think what they think their job is, is to stop us getting sued.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I think their job is to make sure that when we get sued, we win.

Right?

And that, that...

part of it is everything that I love.

When you know you're in trouble, the company's angry with you, your own lawyers are angry with you, the only people that are excited are the people that you work with.

And the audience, yeah, the audience, because they love, everyone loves watching a car crash, right?

And it's so much fun to be in that position.

And it feels like to me,

because it's not commercial, because you have full freedom of speech as well, that it is incumbent upon you, if you're lucky enough to be in that position, to push it as hard as you can.
