Why does a handsome billionaire son of a gun and a newsman

starred apart for your amusement,

trapped into a forsaken spat on the internet shocked and embarrassed by the drama,

grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Welcome to YouTube News. Let's go.

Yes, welcome back to YouTube News, the podcast, everybody. My name is

Benedict Townsend, and you may have noticed that that opening segment was a parody of a song from the

musical Hamilton, something that people were very interested in about four or five years ago.

And you know what we're like on YouTube and News? We like to be up to date. We like to be on,

not the cutting edge, but the bleeding edge of popular culture. And so I thought, okay, half a

decade has passed. It's time for me to finally put my spin on that musical that no one's

talking about anymore. That being said, I did spend a lot of time coming up with those rhymes,

so I hope you appreciated it. Okay, we've got a fantastic show for you this week. Obviously, I say obviously, you might not know this. You might be a first time listener, but last week I was unfortunately away. I did not release a podcast last week. It wasn't for any particularly interesting reason. You know, I wasn't lost on the moon or something. I just took a week off, you know, took some time to decompress

to rest. There I am again already rapping. I'm a poet and I can't help it. But, you know,

obviously times are pretty tough now. We can't really go overseas because of COVID. So I just took a very relaxed vacation.

I drove down to the country here in England,

down to a little private airport.

And then I hopped on a jet, private jet that I own.

So it's a 747 that I own.

And I flew over to Mauritius and just kind of chilled in Mauritius for a week in my compound,

well, one of my compounds that I own around the world, and, you know, just sampled the local

fruits and, you know, got some cooking tips from the Grand Dam of Mauritian Gastronomy.
