Great. So I know that all of you are aware that the news community is laughing at what we're trying to do here at 24-hour news. But that is why they brought me in. She's the best! You see, gentlemen, I don't lose. Listen, I feel like I need to clear the air. Oh, please don't. I want to say, on behalf of the entire news team, we are huge supporters of all African and Americans. Veronica got so tan! I remember the first African and American I ever saw. It's African-American. Are you sure? Yeah. Absolutely 100% positive? It isn't like... Ron... Fish and chips? Hey, we're all the same on the inside, stinky and pink. When I was in high school, me and my buddies used to sneak in the girls' locker room. We'd peek at the girls in the shower, and I'd look at all of them, no matter what color they were. So... Jesus, this is the worst meeting I've ever been in. A black man follows me everywhere when it's sunny. Actually, I think that's your shadow, Brick. I call him Leon. And if it's a cloudy day, what happens to Leon? He goes home. It's your shadow. He's talking about his shadow. Shut your damn mouths! Sit down!

So as long as you guys get numbers, we are gonna get along just fine. Now, if you don't, I am gonna be icy. And unpleasant, you dig? I dig. We all dig. I like to dig. One time I went digging for treasure and I found a half a body.
