Oh yeah, the only other thing I was watching was about Rupert Murdoch, but it was just a bit depressing, so I stopped watching that.

All the money, all the power, all the family fighting, and you just go, lads, when is an oaf an oaf?

Ah!

There was part of it.

That's on Netflix, by the way.

It's kind of inside the Murdoch's.

But there was one part of it that I didn't know about their story.

I always thought he'd kind of come from...

working class roots.

He was from, Rupert Murdoch was born in a home with like 25 staff and 30 bedrooms or something like that.

And his father was really, really successful.

And his father died suddenly when Rupert was about 21.

And his mom was worried that Rupert wasn't kind of up to the job of being in charge yet.

And she sold the father's companies.

And so Rupert was raging and he felt that this, the people, the top management who had been around his father kind of stabbed them in the back a little bit.

And so he spent years and years and years basically getting revenge and buying up all the papers in Australia.

And that's kind of started.

So he, it was a real kind of sore point for him.

So like what you'd said there, it is just, it became a competition and it became a little bit about kind of revenge.

I mean, he's the ultimate paper boy.
