This is an important part
of our history.
It's a story
that needs to be told.
And frankly, Marsiversary
is the right time to tell it.
We'll get this sucker out there
on the floor
next to all the other
exhibits and shit.
I-I don't gotta tell you
that the board goes nuts
for this kinda thing, and
Tell me there's not a body
in there right now.
Not unless somebody snuck
in there while I wasn't looking.
I'm kidding, of course.
No, no meat

Real good.

Okay. You can have

Look at this little freak.
Jeff, have you met Tee?

in person, though,
of course I know who, uh
you are and rather your

your connection to
Yeah, you're
Yes. Great to meet you.
I can already tell this little
freak is gonna blow me
and the rest of us away.
Ha.
Well, I-I sure hope so.
Though keep in mind this is
just an initial pitch, uh,
session just to kind of
get the ball rolling.
That that was
my understanding.
The the thinking behind this
is really just
the whole idea of Mars
being the
the new frontier, you know?
Kind of like San Francisco
back during the Gold Rush.
Or, uh, you know, Wall Street
in the 1980s.
Or, uh, you know, the tech boom
there in the, uh,
I believe, the uh, late '90s,
early 2000's, but
It's a simple riff, but I
believe it's a very strong one.
Nice.
I feel like
I'm in an old-school
gas station.
I can hear those classic
cola bottles clinkin'.
Kk-chsssssh.
Yeah, totally, totally,
save one of them for me.
It's like Americana
but Mars.
"Marsicana."
Oh!
Huh
this is good.
This is good.
That's great, yeah,
because I actually think
there's a lot of possibilities
to expand on
Hey, sorry
I'm late, my boy.
T-2, what do you think
of all this?
Lemme get a look here.
Hmm.
Okay.
Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.
Tee: Well?
Nah.
No?
Unh-unh.
That's a no for me,
muh boi.
This is too olden.
I'm sorry, why is Ted here?
Jeff?
You made this?
I did, actually,
and it seemed like everyone
was really responding to it
until kinda something took
the wind out of my sails.
[Sighs]
Yeah, I I guess it is
pretty expected.
Kinda "first thought."
Do something vintage.
It's like yo!
Fuck vintage.
We need to create
something new.
I want to echo Tee. It does
feel a little old to me.
Because when
I think about it,
who was drinking those colas
in those glass bottles?
Racists, right?
This is making me feel
very uncomfortable.
Yo, yo, yo,
chill, chill, chill, chill.
I got something!
Propaganda.
[Clears throat]
So like Soviet propaganda?
Because that's also pretty retro
and you just did tell me
that you didn't want
anything old, so I
War.
War propaganda.
Reappropriate
those designs,
but for good this time.
And none of these
dinky-ass drawings.
Right.
It should be detailed.
No empty spaces, you know?
Fractals
and shit everywhere.
I'm talking next level,
baller level.
Like, I don't know
what the fuck I'm looking at
because my brain
can't comprehend this shit.
More is more
in this case, Jeff.
And Taz,
Taz should be in there.
The Tasmanian Devil.
He can be small.
[Laughter]
Okay, cool,
well, thank you.
I-I think this is gonna be
a pretty big revise,
so we might have to
push out the dates a bit.
Yeah, no, we're firm
on the dates, bud.
[Sighs]
Look, Jeff.
Just vibe with it, okay?
Have fun.
Take the notes
all of them
but make it your own,

Jeff style.

Hey, guys!
Sorry, sorry.
We had a serious
code brown in the WC.
Anything you wanna
tack on, Dare?
Uh no!
Uh
stellar work, Jeff.
A plus.
Even got a hot-air balloon
in there, I see.
Real classy stuff.
Oh, yeah, why don't a bunch
of corporate executives
tell the creative
professional what to do?
Yeah, that makes sense!

Just gotta go feed
these grasshoppers first,
thanks to my good friends,

we're doing this.
It's decided.
We leave in two weeks' time.

Though keep in mind this is
just an initial pitch, uh,
session just to kind of
get the ball rolling.
That that was
my understanding.
The the thinking behind this
is really just
the whole idea of Mars
being the
the new frontier, you know?
Kind of like San Francisco
back during the Gold Rush.
Or, uh, you know, Wall Street
in the 1980s.
Or, uh, you know, the tech boom
there in the, uh,
I believe, the uh, late '90s,
early 2000's, but
It's a simple riff, but I
believe it's a very strong one.
Nice.
I feel like
I'm in an old-school
gas station.
I can hear those classic
cola bottles clinkin'.

It's like Americana

pretty expected.
Kinda "first thought."
Do something vintage.
It's like yo!
Fuck vintage.
We need to create
something new.
