What was l saying about the... (Alicia) An agenda. An agenda, l have an agenda. [sighing] Which is that l have to immediately, um, increase the ad pages here by 20 percent. 20 percent? Carter, only a startup magazine can do that. Yeah, well, l think this team can do it, Dan. Um, how? Well, Morty, basically what we-- God, that's an awesome question. ''How?'' And the answer is synergy. We need to team up here. Yeah, we need to synchronize and we need to synergize. We're not alone. We're not alone. We're part of one of the biggest multimedia and brand name companies in the known universe, okay? Let's--let's take advantage of that, like, uh... Like... Krispity Krunch. Did anyone know that, uh, one of our sister companies is Krispity Krunch? So? So we talk to our brothers and sisters over at Krispity Krunch. We make a deal where we supply sports factoids to their boxes. So that when Joe Couch Potato is sitting there, he's, uh, snacking, he looks down, and what does he see? Sports AmerĂca Krispity Krunch sports factoids. He's definitely buying more Krispity Krunch and not Krunch 'n Krackle which, by the way, Iooks and tastes exactly the same. But guess what? No sports factoids. And Krispity Krunch is so happy they guarantee us 28 pages a year. Besides which, they know if they don't, Teddy K. is gonna be pissed. What is that? What am l talking about here, people? Synergy. lsn't that cheating? No, no. Hell, no. And, uh, Techline cell phones. We own Techline cell phones. Guess what we put on their browser? Factoids. Yes! Factoids! Synergy! And what else? Uh, box scores. And ads! We make a deal like a 100,OOO hits on the Internet has the equivalent value of one ad page of our hard copy. Are you getting it, people? The magazine has become just a portal to a synergized world of cross-promotion. We're gonna bust things wide open. We are gonna take things to the next level. Who's with me? Who's with me? Who-- who's psyched? Lou, are you psyched? Yeah. Yeah, l'm psyched. Okay. Alicia, are you psyched? Absolutely. Better. This guy. l'm sorry, l don't know your name yet. Hector. l'm in maintenance. That's cool. Hector... Hector, l know you're psyched. l'm psyched! [all laughing] Yes, Hector's psyched! And if Hector's psyched, then you know l'm psyched. l am psyched for this team. Now who else is with me? Who's psyched? (all) l'm psyched! (Carter) Excellent. Who else? Come on. Who do you think will be the first to get canned? My money's on Dan. He's prehistoric.
