While he's driving back to his house on the car radio a news report said that Britney Spears had her 23rd child and Michael Jackson has cloned himself and the clone is now suing the original for molesting him. The music that is heard resembles the sound of Gorillaz on the TV and possibly Seal while he is listening to the radio.
