Or at the very least the Four Seasons Total Landscaping incident. It's like a Curb Your Enthusiasm cold opening sketch or something.

"Wait. So your episode idea is that the lawyer for the President of the United States will mistake a landscaping firm for a high class hotel? A landscaping firm situated between a dildo shop and a crematorium?!!!"

"Yes. And wait until you read the leaking hair dye episode!"

“But getting into the Capitol Building, that’s gonna be super hard, right?”
