Well, what it means is I have basically acquired my YouTube channel. So I had a three-year deal with Rupert Murdoch and News and I had a very good chat with him about what I wanted to do. I didn't want to be just a talent for hire anymore when it came to the deal being renewed. It made me a very generous offer, which I So, look, it's very generous. I'm really appreciative.

But I actually want to own my own business. And like you, I think we've both worked out that the future is not traditional linear television or traditional newspapers or any of the kind of legacy media, for want of a better phrase. Anyone under 40 is now consuming almost all of their news, opinion and comment from shows like mine, shows like yours online.

and, you know, individuals who are creating their own kind of media entities and using YouTube as the main platform to do that. And I think that this is the future. And I've got three sons, 31, 27, 24. They don't watch conventional television. They get all their stuff. social media, and in particular, via YouTube channels like yours and mine. So I think it was a logical thing to do.

I don't even think it's a risk. We've done the hard yards, you and I, I think in building our personal brands. And people, I think, like to hear what we have to say. They like the interviews we do.
