I think Gary Cole's character should get swole and shave his head Bezos style in order to stay relevant. The old gang's invention could happen at a company hack-a-thon, but still be ignored by the SVs :)

So depending on who you have co-write (if anyone) it could go a lot of different ways. Like if you have Seth McFarlane join his mandatory 27 poop jokes would surface as Bill chugging green tea and kombucha drinks resulting in unfortunate digestive issues. I figure this makes him so elusive he ends up as a somewhat mysterious figure because he can never complete a thought. People fill in the blanks for themselves thus solving their own problem but credit Bill with the solution and he gets an undeserved reputation as a genius.
I figure the gang has to do something useful to set them up for a Kafkaesque evaluation where we learn that they failed to meet zero expectations by exceeding them. Everyone's fired and SV's sterotypes about older workers are reinforced as they couldn't even do nothing properly.

I like that, his unfinished thoughts could be quotes from kombucha bottle caps.
