Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Hello, I'm Matt Kelly. And I'm Matt Dancona. And this is the two mats for the

weekending Friday the 22nd of September. Two journalists who have at times held destiny in their

hands. Well, I mean, to start with, we talked about Rupert Murdoch, and you revealed, and I don't

want to spoil it, an amazing anecdote story about how you are basically personally responsible

for his longevity.

Well, people should listen, but I saved Rupert Murdoch's life.

You need to listen.

I don't know whether that's a boast or something to be ashamed of.

I mean, it's essential listening.

Or at least I saved him from a broken nose.

I think at minimum.

What else did we talk about, Matt?
