Synopsis
The Warner siblings deliver some sandwiches from San and Ella's Coffee Shop to a newsroom for Newstime Live anchored by Mr. Slam Fondelson, but they arrive hours late. They were out of pickles, so they gave him coleslaw instead, and Dot takes a bite out of his sandwich, so he doesn't pay them or tip them. The siblings protest outside of the studio and this is covered on the newscast. The siblings get on set and Dan locks them in the control room, so they fiddle with all of the controls. Eventually Slam apologizes on the air, goes insane and is taken away.
