So it was in my blood. And even today, I get five newspapers every day on my doormat. I used to run two big newspapers in the UK, two big national papers for 10 years. And I love the sound of a thud of newspapers, which I know sounds very anachronistic for someone who's now a YouTuber. And I'm aware that newspapers are basically going out of business. And my kids, my sons are 31, 27, 24.
They don't read print newspapers, obviously. They just read everything on their phones or whatever it may be. So I'm part of a dying generation of people who still like newspapers. But I love the thud of five newspapers. I get the Times, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Sun and the Financial Times. And they hit like a thud and it still gets my juices flowing.

And it's often early, like at five in the morning. I get up early. I think sleeping is cheating. I get up early and I read the paper and I pour over them with my old editor's eye just for seeing what's going on. Then I'm onto my phone. I'm checking all the American sites, New York Post, New York Times, Daily News, whatever it may be.

LA Times, I'm checking X, obviously see what's going on there, checking what you're up to, what mayhem you're causing, and a few of the big people in my space, and just seeing who's doing what and what clips are flying around, what's trending.

And so by like seven in the morning, I've had a really good snapshot, not just of what's happening here, which I only do out of habit really, because all my material is now aimed to an American audience primarily. But I like that I live here most of the time. I've got a place in LA and I go to America for three, four months of the year, but I still consider this my home.

But I love to know the news. So by 7am, I know everything has happened. And I know where I should be thinking about what I should be doing on my show. And by then, maybe like at 10 o'clock, my showrunner Alex will call me and he'll talk me through what the plan is for the show. Some of the bookings I'll have been involved with, others will be new to me.

We'll have a mixture of one-on-ones and debates. Today's a classic example. We've got you one-on-one. We've got Eric Weinstein one-on-one. We have a big debate about Israel, Gaza, and where we are with all that and bringing in Iran and Ukraine. And then we're going to have a big debate about America and probably actually factoring in on Trump and this $15 million payout he got from ABC and

I think these are kind of fascinating water cooler subjects. So that's the day pretty well planned out. But as you know, anything can happen.
