a bald man with erectile dysfunction and
00:00:02
James Murdoch. It just all makes sense.
00:00:04
Life is so rich, isn't it? How did this
00:00:07
happen?
00:00:07
>> I would say for people to understand, I
00:00:09
have met with James Murdoch and his wife
00:00:12
Katherine, who is also very involved in
00:00:14
this, and nothing but good feelings for
00:00:16
them. I don't have good feelings for his
00:00:17
father. Neither does he, which has been
00:00:19
well documented. And so, we have
00:00:21
complete freedom to do what we want. We
00:00:22
own these podcasts that we have. God
00:00:24
owns his. I own mine and we own pivot
00:00:26
together in a death grip to the end for
00:00:28
whoever which one of us survives. And so
00:00:30
we'll be keep doing what we want. James
00:00:32
Murdoch has always been very smart
00:00:33
digitally. I like him. He's not You
00:00:35
can't just put Murdoch on it and say
00:00:37
they suck. I would agree about Rupert
00:00:39
Murdoch. I would not be owned by Murdoch
00:00:41
and we're not owned by anyone.
00:00:43
>> I mean, it was going to sound
00:00:44
self-absorbed. We could have killed this
00:00:46
deal and we didn't. And we just we
00:00:48
didn't ask for anything extra. We just
00:00:50
said, "Yeah, we just want things to stay
00:00:52
the way they are." And Jim Brooff has
00:00:55
never once asked me to tone it down, to
00:00:58
stop the dick jokes.
00:01:00
>> I have.
00:01:00
>> No, you have. But you're you're trying
00:01:02
to save me from myself, and you're also
00:01:04
posing for your woke friends.
00:01:05
>> Oh, stop it. You're so much woker than
00:01:07
mine.
00:01:07
>> I'm the wokest.
