Rupert Murdoch just handed his $16.8 billion media empire to one son. The others get "only" $1.1 billion each.
Welcome to the most expensive Christmas dinner drama ever.
Jack Austin and Adam Garcia dissect the week's wildest news stories with zero filter.
From the Murdoch succession battle that makes Succession look tame, to a man arrested for living in an Oregon crawlspace with a full TV setup.
**In this episode:**
✓ Murdoch's tax-free empire handover (and why it matters for democracy)
✓ The homeless crisis nobody wants to fix
✓ AI robot paints King Charles (badly)
✓ Why taking your phone to the toilet increases haemorrhoid risk 46%
✓ Actual snakes on an actual plane in Australia
✓ Why stealing from corporations doesn't "stick it to the man"
✓ The UK's backwards approach to crime and punishment
**Key revelations:**
How News Corp controls Fox News, Wall Street Journal, The Sun, and more.
The real reason prices are higher in poor neighbourhoods.
Why prison doesn't work (and what Sweden does differently).
The dystopian future of humanoid robots at protests.
**The quote of the episode:**

"News-flavoured entertainment" - the perfect description of modern media.
**Timestamps:**
00:00 Murdoch's $16 billion succession drama
00:07 Crawlspace living: The housing crisis gets worse
00:20 Homelessness and the fentanyl epidemic
00:28 Why we can't stop drug dealers but can arrest tweet writers
00:33 The shoplifting economics lesson
00:37 King Charles painted by robot
00:43 The future of humanoid protests
00:48 Your phone is giving you hemorrhoids
00:57 Snakes on a plane (Australia, obviously)
**Notable quotes:**
"1.1 billion - if I spend $10 million a day, there's still some left for my kids. But I wanted the power."
"NewsCorp sounds like something out of Orwell"
"Why should someone in Australia decide UK elections?"
