Previously on the Z's Week. You came in to make sure you're ready for the magnet

hits tomorrow.

Do I know what I'm doing?

No. Gen Z has ruined this country. Ruined. I hate them so much. I hate

Monica.

I'm going to tell you what I told Paula Deen in 2013.

You're cooked.

I know you'll find your way back into the game.

Let's have dinner.

Talk about you next time.

Please, Kriska, let me serve you if this thing counts. I live to service. Okay,

okay. They're yours, Minnesota, Matt. They're yours.

You won't regret this.

You will regret this.

Looks like we have a new campaign.

Doug, we're starting our own agency.

These are from the folks at Magma.

Oh. My.

God. They like like us, you guys. It's almost as if we're crushing this job.

Thanks, Atelier, men all over the world will be able to proudly discuss their

dong dysfunction.

I just came for the paycheck, but look at us now.

Bathing lines.

Kriska, your call with George is about to start.

Oh, George.

We love George.

George, how's your tennis game going?

Blew out my elbow.

My wife has to help me into the bath.

She keeps talking about my hiney.

Baby talks while she does it.

Hot. It's a nightmare.

My bad.

So, when can I see a mock -up of my Super Bowl commercial?

When is football?

Girl. You know, I approved the concept weeks ago.

Monica would have had a mock commercial ready in about ten days. Sometimes

three. I need to see a proof of concept before I can sink millions of dollars

into this campaign. Absolutely. And you are in good hands, George.

You know, prior to becoming CEO, I literally created thousands of TikToks

promoting brands. So, basically, little... Online commercials.

What she was really doing, George, was promoting the thing she believed in most

in the world.

She sold herself on the internet.

That came out wrong. I don't mean like OnlyFans. Although sex work is work.

We'll get you something by the end of the week, okay? Bye, George.

Ow!

So, I get that a mock commercial is like a mini fake commercial, but how do we

make that?

Like, officially?

Hi, hon.

Mm -mm.

What can you tell us about industry mock commercials?

You should look at what's in our client files. Monica and Doug's old mock

commercials are in there.

Do we really want to poison our brain with their geriatric stink?

Great point.

You know what? We just need a creative session.

Climb, you're an artist.

How do you get inspired? Porn and pie.

And nature.

If anybody needs me, I'll be in the all -gender restroom primal screaming.

Love you. Bye.

Okay, we're not doing porn, but take the corporate card and get some pie.

Oh, homemade, please.

Mm -hmm.

Gluten -free.

Mm -hmm.

Clem, vegan, if possible.

Okay, so not pie.

Elliot, do you still talk to that nature harpist? We never spoke.

Just transcended time and space together.

Romantic. Also, he died.

Oh. But he has Spotify.

Oh.

Oh, please, don't get up. Are you sure? Yes. I mean, I've already got up. All

right, well, then stay there. Okay.

I'm going to get down. Okay.

I'm surprised you showed up. Oh, well, not too many people in town brave enough

to be seen with me publicly.

Plus, seeing you always makes me feel smarter and more attractive.

Consult me all you want, babe, but I've never seen you looking so desperate.

And I watched you outbid and make -a -wish kid for a brunch with Alex

Oh, I'm not desperate, babe.

I'm just finding my way.

Well, maybe I can help you with that.

Really?

You'd be willing to help me even after... After you got me kicked out of

and stole my promotion.

Well, I'm not the moron who slept with Oliver's girlfriend.

And you didn't need to tell him. I think, in the grand scheme of things, it

worked out okay. I mean, look at you now.

I mean, you're not wrong.

I'm hotter than ever.

Although I do want to get my earlobes reduced.

Don't look at them.

Look, it took me a while to get out of that hole you dug me.

But you started to be down the path to running my own agency.

So, consider this meal my payback.

What are we, friends now? These days, we've got more in common than not.

Particularly this cancel culture generation that are trying to kick us to

curb.

Look, Mom, I really do feel bad for you.

Don't. Sympathy enrages me, especially coming from someone who dresses like he

wants to smell like belts.

Oh. Anyway, Doug and I are starting our own company, and I could use your help.

Oh.

If you have any leads, I'd really appreciate it.

You know, I can think of one client that's really looking for an agency

now. They are so beneath you.

Well, I'll be the judge of that.

Are you sure? Because I think you're pretty classy.

I'll take anything.

Just give it to me.

It's Pig Feed International.

Oh, God.

And believe me, the owner, he looks like an extra from Deliverance.

But if you get them, it'll be good money, and it'll be a solid foundation

you.

Thank you, Buffy.

Just know that when my agency gets on its feet, I will be going after your

clients. Oh, selfish.

Predatory and deeply, deeply honest.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh,

got a bit on my trousers.

I think we should focus on the basics of what Monica and I pitched, but tweak it

and Gen Z -ify it more for George.

Okay, so we need a tour bus, a band, a desert, Olivia Rodrigo, and then a

stadium concert?

How are we going to pay for all of that?

Need I remind you I bought a sauna for the storage room?

Oh, I bought a sauna for the storage room.

Okay, well, maybe we just focus on the concert and we can use the green screen.

Yes.

Lights, colors, beats.

You know what?

We can scale it way down.

Shoot it here in the office and cast our own people in it.

So, who's going to play Olivia?

Maybe Krista?

A truly inspired suggestion.

Thank you, Clem. But no.

As CEO, I have to give the appearance of fairness.

I can't just pick myself.

Great, I'll do it. We'll have a panel of judges picked between the two of us.

Uh -huh.

Who's going to pick the panel?

Me. I'm the boss.

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Well...

Ambrose, I hope our presentation gave you some insight into what we have to

offer in a competitive industry like yours.

It is tough out there. You know, we are always trying to get over the

misconception that we only sell pig feed.

I can see how that's been a challenge, considering that the company's name is

Pig Feed International.

Yes, but we do feed for all kinds of livestock. It's only called Pig Feed

International because my papa's last name was pig. So it's Pig Feed

International, not Pig Feed International.

Hear the difference?

Well, that makes a lot of sense to me.

Very enlightening. Thank you.

We will definitely make it clear that your company sells more than just feed

pigs. I've got that now.

Absolutely.

Okay. You got yourself a deal.

Wow. Oh, thank you so much.

We're going to make Pawpaw Pig proud.

You know, I wasn't sure I was going to sign with you.

I get kind of turned off by all them big city New York types. I hear you.

I tried doing business with your old company, but some account guy just kept

saying booyah to all my suggestions.

It just wasn't professional.

I think his name was Matt.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah, Matt.

Interesting. Now, I expect you to keep your promise and come down and see the

plant in the stockyards. You can stay with me at my house. You two can share a

bed, right?

Such a generous offer.

Yeah, thank you.

Let me ask you something.

Sometimes you're real teeth.

They are.

Goodbye now.

Hey, did you hear what he said?

Yeah. You can't tell the whole crowd, can you? No, about Matt.

If they've got that doofus handling clients, I bet we could easily steal

back. Easily.

Auditioning. Step forward.

Tell your name to the director.

What's up?

Any interesting fact about yourself and why you are most qualified to play

Olivia?

Oh. Okay.

Hi, I'm Kriska Thompson.

And my interesting fact is every club I've ever been in, I've been elected

president. And I have never been broken up with before.

You're lucky stars.

And I am qualified to play Olivia because someone at a bank wants to ask

was a model.

And I think if you can be pretty at a bank, you can be pretty anywhere.

Super. Like, clearly half star quality.

You'll be the judge of that.

Elliot, the committee would like to hear from you now.

Hi, I'm Elliot Spencer, and my interesting fact is I used to work in

someone once took a dump in my fitting room.

Also, I've performed off -Broadway, so I'm very qualified to play Olivia.

Okay, you did not perform off -Broadway. You performed drag out of our cult off

-Broadway. Oh, you're coming for me.

You don't want me to clock your tea, because I can say something very

embarrassing about you right now.

Oh, please, you don't have anything on me, Elliot. Oh, no. No.

Oh, no.

No. Elliot.

Crisca. Elliot.

Crisca. You would. I would. Crisca still has a Facebook account.

Even I got rid of Facebook.

Well, I'm only on it to see who's died. Oh, she's still post -statuses.

Enough!

I've always wanted to do that.

Please allow the committee time to discuss.

This will take hours.

Elliot.

Elliot.

Condragulations.

Honestly, are we surprised I met the prompt flawlessly?

Welcome to my winning era.

Winning era starts tomorrow.

Everyone get a full eight back here for 10, 10, 30 call time.

We'll start at 6 a .m.

Boo.

You sure he's even in there?

You saw the post.

What's up, guys?

I'm about to get absolutely wrecked by a psychopath.

I'm about to get absolutely wrecked by a psycho power class.

There he is. There he is.

Oh. Oh, God.

The shorts are even tighter in person.

Hey. Matt? Okay, he's... Oh, he's crossing his street. He's crossing his

Get him. Get him. Get him.

Matt? Matt?

Hi. Matt?

Monica. Hi.

Done. Funny bumping into you here. What are you doing here? Oh.

Hitting the gym.

Chopping.

Shopping. So much stuff.

Yeah. Well, where are your shopping bags?

That's what I love about you, Matt.

You're so observant.

You love things about me?

Yeah. So many things.

What else?

I like the way you don't tan.

Just a lot of freckles hanging out, touching each other.

Yeah, like a rotting pear.

Oh, man.

How are things at Atelier?

Are you enjoying the fresh approach of the new regime?

No diggity, no doubt.

How are you two doing? Oh, we're fine, but congratulations to you.

Me? We heard you have your own clients now. Big responsibility.

Yeah, yeah. How's it going?

It's a little fast and furious.

As in, I'm working fast and the clients are getting furious.

No. Why?

I probably shouldn't share that. It's confidential.

Come on. Come on.

It's Dee Dee and Mon Mon. You can tell us.

I mean, I am your mentor, you know. And I always have felt that white men face

such barriers to advancement these days.

It's almost like reverse racism.

Almost.

Thank you so much for acknowledging that.

Well. Although, I never really knew you were mentoring me. What?

You always talk to me the way that my mom talks to our dog.

Stop. No.

Out. Sit.

Oh. Yeah, please.

Sure.

Between us, things are a little touchy with nom -nom almonds right now.

Oh, no.

Yeah. Why?

A website is claiming that a half gallon of their almond milk only contains

eight almonds. And they keep nixing my ideas for renaming it. Like what?

Almost almonds?

No. A wee bit of almonds.

Too Irish.

I can't believe it's not almonds.

Denied. I mean, those are really great ideas. Thank you. What's your CEO say?

Chris got nothing.

Oh, she's too busy shooting a mock commercial for Boppenburger.

You know, Matt, growing almonds is terrible for the environment.

Not so bad.

What? You could issue a press release about how Nom Nom is actually earth

-friendly because they use so few almonds.

That might get the public on your side.

Just a thought.

Yep. It's a great idea. Yeah.

Everyone's calling you a whack hack, but I knew they were wrong.

I got a bounce.

Thank you, Matt.

These are all of my drag looks that are considered historic in Washington

Heights and some parts of Flushing.

Tanya used to wear things like that. She'd say she was going to Michael's. I

thought she meant the craft store.

Turns out, no.

I wore this for my first drag performance. It was my cousin's baptism,

people did get splashed, if you know what I mean.

I'm not sure I do.

Now, this is iconic.

I wore this the first time I successfully did a dip in front of a

down the crotch. My bits were everywhere, honey.

Brunch was ruined.

Did not need those details.

Elliot, while we deeply appreciate all of your look, let's focus on the one

is most Olivia.

Chris, as the director, I need to be in charge here, okay?

Elliot, while we deeply appreciate all of your looks, let's focus on the one

that's most Olivia.

Right, right.

Oh, I always loved working with Nom Nom, Almonds, William, and I'm so glad you

finally returned my call. Yes, I'm sorry I didn't initially.

We were a little put off by the Ad National article.

What was with that picture?

Just clowning around.

Oh, sorry.

Don't worry, former barista here. Got it under control.

We're at a real loss as to what to do about Atelier.

We had a PR crisis, and Matt came up with a horrible idea that would have

the company.

He wanted us to admit we basically used no omens.

Environmentalist. Almond latte?

No, this is client service.

Well. As you may remember, my work is my life. I will always take your call, no

matter where I am. I can still hear the screams from that bris.

Yes, well, at my new agency... Thank you, Doug.

Almond cookies, all with an almond -printed napkin.

Delightful. Yes.

At my new agency... Also an almond -shaped dish.

How clever.

Thank you, Deb.

So, at my new agency, your company's best interests will always be my top

priority. I do like the sound of that.

Are you taking on new clients?

Are you saying you're ready for a change? Or might I offer a change back?

So, Elliot, you look fantastic, but it is reading way too sexual.

Kriska, I appreciate the feedback, but I am the director and I need you to

respect that.

Elliot, it looks fantastic, but it's reading a little too sexual.

Belle?

What do you think?

Kriska, may I have a point? I'm pretty aroused right now.

Elliot, do you think you could be any less sexual?

I know myself.

And no.

Well, then I'm sorry, but we need to go in a new direction.

What do we get?

Gee, I wonder.

Girls, let's do it. You know you want to. Oh, no, I couldn't.

Betty?

Strobe? Strobe's got teacher.

Now and action.

How am I looking?

Well, it's what I'm carrying you to me. It looks amazing.

Thank you.

And cut.

Pick up, please.

That's my job.

And cut.

Thanks again for meeting with me.

I'm telling you, I did everything you said with Nom Nom Almond.

They still fired Atelier.

Is it me?

Yeah. No.

You know what I think the problem is?

Your clients aren't getting to see the real you.

I'll host a group dinner at Medieval Time. They'll love it. Very original.

think having a video call with all of your clients is the way to go.

Video calls worked so well during the pandemic.

Lord, take me back to the days of banana bread and tiger cake.

Fun.

That's another great idea.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, Monica. I don't know how I'll ever

repay you.

Helping others.

It's its own reward.

Truly. Sweet.

So you got the... Sure, we got the chip. Okay, great.

Oh, can't waste my milk.

Get that calcium, boy.

Okay.

Group call time. Here we go.

Millennials are so embarrassed. I mean, I feel bad for all of them. They'll

never be able to own a home.

You don't own a home, Dad.

I own many of them.

Christmas Village doesn't count.

Sorry, I thought this was a one -on -one.

Yeah, sorry.

Who are these people?

You're all of my clients.

And I'm MC Matt, giving them eargasms with my mellow accent.

That's Blackstreet. No copyright infringement intended.

What is happening?

I'm not here just for a paycheck.

I'm here to show you that I'm a banging exec.

If you want the slogan, I'll give you an array.

Cause I'm with you every step of the way.

If this was dope, I'd be your caddy.

If you need a spanking, I'm your ad daddy.

Okay,

I'm out.

Do you know any Malcolm boys? I sure do.

It's only the godfather of rap.

Yeah!

Well... You definitely brought the Gen Z sensibility we were looking for.

Yeah. But while there was a lot of you, I didn't see a boppin' burger anywhere.

No, we shot the burger.

I'm sure we shot the burger. Didn't we shoot the burger? The delivery driver

tossed her a whole bag of burgers.

Oh, my God, they were in a bag.

Monica would have given me a bright, shiny, juicy burger that made vegans

You... Did not.

I'm afraid you've completely missed the mark.

We'll talk again in a few days.

It's so nice seeing you.

I can't believe we forgot to show the burger.

That's like advertising 101, which I got an A in.

Maybe we should have listened to Annabelle and looked at Monica's... No,

You know what? We did this our way. And George is just going to come back to us

and tell us how to do it better. And it's going to be good. And we're good.

it's good.

Is the good in the room with us right now?

Seriously, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.

I'm good.

I am good.

That's good, because I'm scared.

Mm -hmm.

I don't understand.

Nom Nom, Ness Slippers, and Heritage Oats all left the agency.

Did they give you any feedback?

I was told I lack self -awareness and give off a non -threatening but off

-putting vibe that no one can quite put their finger on. Nothing I haven't heard

before. But with your guidance, I honestly thought I was getting better.

This is a tough part of the business, Matt.

However, I have been in touch with those same clients and they've decided to

stick with me and Doug.

Stick with?

You're at a different agency now.

That would be poaching.

Potato, potato.

I'm just giving my former slash future clients continuity, professionalism, and

the benefit of my years of experience while everyone gets over the speed bump

that is Kriska taking the helm at Atelier.

So Atelier doesn't have the clients anymore?

No.

And you guys do?

Yeah.

Just to be clear, you pretended to like me just so you could trick me?

I'm... Sorry, Matt. It's not personal. It's his business.

I'm going to get fired.

That's a question for your CEO. And I'll bet she has a lot of questions for you.

I'm taking care of business.

Woman, can't you see?
