  • Did you watch Succession on HBO?

  • I loved that show.

  • I would tell friends to watch it, but a lot of them would say,

  • you know, I tried, but I hated all the characters.

  • The funny thing about that, of course, is that Succession is loosely based on a real family.

  • The kids Fighting over who gets control of daddy's empire, those are the Murdoch children,

  • the older Murdoch children,

  • the unyielding mercurial patriarch who built an empire that none of his children truly deserve.

  • That's Rupert Murdoch, of course.

  • You'll remember Rupert from our show yesterday,

  • we talked about his humble rise from Australian media nepo baby to global media mogul.

  • On today, explained from Vox, the chickens come home to roost,

  • or the children come home to fight over Vox,

  • or Rupert realizes he can't quite control the monsters he's made.

  • Let's go with D, all of the above.

  • Introducing the new Dell PC powered by the Intel Core Ultra Processor.

  • It helps do your busy work for you.

  • So you can fast forward through editing images,

  • designing presentations, generating code, debugging code,

  • summarizing meeting notes, finding files, managing your schedule, responding to Jim's long emails.
