really sweet kids.

And your parents probably

all really believe

you made the right decision

to not become doctors

or lawyers,

because the world is

"different" now.

But unless you love sleeping

in the room you grew up in,

and watching The Voice

with Grandma,

we're gonna need

better ideas than that.

[inhales deeply]

Essential oil spritz?

Essential oil spritz?

Just remember...

the line of over-confident

clever millenials

who think their opinion is

the only one that matters

is literally endless.

[soothing instrumental music]

[cell phone buzzing]

- [Jed] Hello.

- [woman] Hey, Jed.

It's Lucia from Condenast.

[Jed] Oh, hi, Lucia.

How are you?

[Lucia giggles] Could be

better, could be better.

Huge favor.

Our in-house guy

botched the job,

and you would be

saving my ass again

if you could pull

this project off today.

[Jed] Yeah, yeah.

Okay, um...

[Lucia] Wait, I'm sending

you the material right now.

I just need a standard six pack,

blue eyes instead of green,

and the junk needs

to be bigger.

[Jed] Okay, like,

a lot bigger, or...

[Lucia] A lot.

[Jed] Um, I can...

I can do that.

I can mess around with this

guy's junk, no problem.

Um, great.

And you need it by...

What did you say

you needed it by?

[Lucia] 9:
00 p.m.

[Jed] Yeah, okay. All right.

Well, I better do it now.

I can do that. Yeah,

I can make that happen.

[Lucia] Talk soon, Jed.

[Jed] You got it.

[phone clicks]

[cell phone buzzing]

- [Jed] Hi.

- [Lucia] Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Jed] Honestly not a problem.

Any time.

[Lucia] I'm calling you

next week. All right.

Bye, Jed.

[Jed] Okay, bye.

Oh, also, Lucia,

I mean, I don't know

if you'd wanna,

uh, grab a drink, or...

Hello?

Lucia?

[swishing]

Hey.

Are you swishing

coconut oil again?

Mm.

- Lights before I go?

- Mm-hmm.

Good talk.

[suspenseful music]

- Hey.

- Hey, Carl.

- Uh, drip with room.

- No.

I'm gonna have

a latte today.

Look out, world,

here comes Jed with

a vanilla latte.

No, I'll do a... I'll

just do a regular latte.

[Tasha] Hey, Jed.

Oh, hey, Tasha.

Sit down.

[softly] Sh*t, yeah, bro.

Hey.

So... How's life online?

Um...

Bigger...

I guess.

I love that picture

of you with Usher.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah. That, uh...

That was a fun night.

When was that?

Spring 2014.

- 2014?

- Yeah.

Hmm.

Really, really

nice work, Jed.

I mean, honestly you

have some serious talent.

What are you talking about?

It's simple.

That picture was taken

in April 2014,

and that cardigan

you're wearing

is from the Banana

Winter Collection...

of 2015.

It's physically impossible for

that moment to have ever happened.

Um...

Listen, Jed,

I think it's brilliant.
