totally, but...

it's better than

shelling out 3K a month

for that shoe box

we lived in, right?

Look. Can you see

what I'm not doing?

Touching both walls

at the same time.

It's a miracle.

I just think there's

something really beautiful

in knowing that we are

completely selfless

in making sure that

our kids

are gonna have

the best life possible.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're ovulating, right?

[Phil moaning]

Oh, I'm cold.

Come to bed, hon.

I will in a minute.

Please stop wasting

your time on Facebook.

[upbeat music playing]

Cool. Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hey, how's it going?

- Uh, small drip.

- Small drip?

- Here you go.

- Thank you, Carl.

[Carl] No problem, Jed.

Got a quad americano

for Tasha.

You know how

I take my coffee,

but you don't even

know my name.

Um, it's Tasha.

I'm sorry.

It says in your cup,

so I figured

it's probably either "Tasha"

or "Americano."

I'm Jed... Triplett.

- Tasha.

- I don't know why I said the last name. Sorry.

Oh. Lorino.

You know, I think I've actually

seen you in here before.

You're very courteous. Most people

just take up this whole station.

- You work around here?

- Yes.

I work at home,

which is by choice.

Well, I'm actually

a little late for a meeting.

But it was nice to

officially meet you, Jed.

Yeah. And I'll shoot you

a friend request,

if I can figure out how.

What?

I just signed up

on social medias.

Wait, you just got

on Facebook?

- Yeah.

- Well, welcome to the future, Jed.

Thanks.

[camera clicks]

[people chattering]

[woman] Hey,

I'll be over here.

[woman]...because they're gonna lose their

sponsorship deal with Hollywood Tan,

if we don't bump

the numbers.

We need a real yoga-girl

level push here.

[woman 1] They just won't approve

any of the content ideas we have.

We've suggested

motion, activation,

live Twitter Q&A.

All she does is

take selfies.

Tasha, call the guy in China,

buy 500,000 followers.

Oakley, we don't

have to do that.

Aren't you tired of

managing the digital lives

of C-list YouTubers

and DJs?

I wanna be posting

for Gosling.

We should be

creating campaigns

for Weezy, Yeezy, Jigga.

Maybe we're doing it wrong.

Maybe instead of

chasing clients

who already

have followings,

we build it ourselves.

So what?

Take someone like...

Kevin here and invest time,

energy, resources,

into growing his audience

across all social media

until he's seen as

an influencer?

This Kevin?

Pepsi won't pay

to see an Instagram

of whatever garbage

Kevin decides to eat that day.

Toyota isn't gonna

shell out $10,000

for a vine of Kevin

driving his trash car.

Yeah. I don't own

a car, so...

Exactly.

Listen. You guys are all
