We can't quite understand you. How's this? I'm Kench Allenby. Oh, yes.There we go! Thank you so much. That's good. I'm Kench Allenby and you all know my story. I'm a self-made man. My late, great father, Vadge Allenby, gave me 300 million dollars, and I toiled my whole bloody life to turn that into 305 million dollars. True story. True story.

Good day, and welcome to GNN. Thank you for joining us on what we believe to be a whole new era of news. I'm Jack Lime, your guide for this journey of events we humbly call 24-hour news. Today's top story, Mount St. Helens. Oh, this is just a gimmick. It's a flash in the pan. We better hope so. Residents are being asked to evacuate the area... Twenty-four hours of news. How are they gonna keep coming up with this stuff? My guess is they'll probably be scraping the bottom of the barrel. No, I have a feeling they'll stick with their integrity and only report the news that needs to be reported.

♪ Dun-dun-dun-dun- dun-dun, dun-dun ♪ Nope. Anyone else? What if we show a porno instead of the news? Freddie? No. Absolutely not. I know. What if we get one of those wildlife handlers? We have him bring in, oh, big game cats. You know, wild, dangerous tigers and lions and leopards and the such. We let them loose inside the studio with about a dozen chickens. We play rock music. And we just call it Let Her Rip. I'd watch that. I'd watch that. Let Her Rip? You're describing the end of civilization. That's not news! If that's the end of times, I'm... I got a front-row seat with a big tub of buttered popcorn and a greasy half-live chicken leg. Okay, so obviously this is a waste of time. I'm done. Freddie! Come on! We're just brainstorming here. We're trying to figure out how to make the news less boring, and you act like we peed in your milkshake. The news is supposed to be boring, Ron! This is serious stuff. You're the one that made this stupid bet! I just don't know why we have to tell the people what they need to hear. Why can't we just tell them what they want to hear?

Damn straight! Made him happy. And we should do stories on patriots. Cute, funny little animals, huh? Or diets. Why blondes have more fun. And serious investigative pieces, about how much ejaculate is on hotel duvets. And only the best sports highlights. Home runs, slam dunks, touchdowns and no soccer. I like the wind! Brick's right. People love hurricanes. Tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, we'll throw Brick right in the middle of it. You'd do that?
