♪ ♪

Man: For thousands of years

guys like us have gotten
the shit kicked out of us.

But now, for the first time,

we are living in an era where we can be

the vikings of our day.

Are you going to help me
with this or not?

You turned down $10 million

to be able to develop something

you can't even describe
to another human being.

I say this only to motivate you.

Oh man, look at this place.

Save your childishness.

There's 40 billion of net worth
walking around this party.

Cut.

I was interested in doing
a show about Silicon Valley

because I lived there and
worked there as an engineer.

The world's very interesting to me.

I just knew a lot of these types.

They always travel in groups of five,

these programmers.

There's always a tall, skinny white guy.

Short, skinny Asian guy.

Fat guy with a ponytail.

Some guy with crazy facial hair.

And then an East Indian guy.

It's like they trade guys until
they all have the right group.

You clearly have a great
understanding of humanity.

Judge: Same kind of personalities now.

I think there's more money,
which makes it more interesting.

We start out in the
series as Richard & Co.,

or just co-nerds trying
to figure it all out.

There's money flying
all over Silicon Valley,

but none of it ever seems to hit us.

Richard is a humble employee at
Hooli and he doesn't like it.

He wants more.

Richard has been developing a music app,

but buried in the heart of that music app

is this kind of kernel of genius.

Do you even realize the impact that a
compression this good could have on the world?

This is game changing.

I'm prepared to give you $200,000.

Six hundred thousand for...

- ten percent of your company.
- Ten million!

I will take a small piece but
the company will belong to you,

not Gavin Belson.

- Um, you know...
- Pull your head out of your ass, Richard.

Richard is lured by the notion of being

in complete control of his own destiny

and ends up going with the
rock and roll Peter Gregory.

My first official purchase
as CEO of Pied Piper.

That's not really our logo, is it?

It looks like a guy sucking a dick

and he's got another dick
tucked behind his ear for later.

It's like a snack dick.

The show is basically a how-to in starting
your own business and doing it the wrong way.

Doing it the wrong way.
We're terrible at it.

Erlich is a guy who he
had this company Aviato.

Sold Aviato for a few million
and was able to buy this house.

And now I've become kind of the smallest,

most pathetic version
of a venture capitalist.

He owns and administers the house
that these guys all live in.

The Hacker Hostel.

Miller: I let people stay
at the house for free,

and then I own 10% of the company.

Gavin Belson likes Pied Piper.

I own 10% of Pied Piper.

You said it was a shitty idea.

It was a shitty idea.

I'm not sure what it is now.

He's a talker and he's charming,

so he can smoothly talk his way into

pretty much any situation,

including on-stage during
a Flo Rida concert.

Look at Erlich.

See, that's what I wish I had.

It's like I don't have any, um...

Game.

Game. Yes! That's it.

Gilfoyle, in a way, is kind of a
quintessential programmer type.

He's a satanist.

Which is basically just he
likes to party and have fun.

Sin is a thing of beauty.

What's with the cross?

It's an upside down cross.

Not from here it isn't.

We have a rivalry, so we're arguing
about who the better programmer is.

I just want to say that I feel I
should get more equity than Dinesh.

Whatever equity I get,

it should reflect that I
contribute more than Gilfoyle.

Big Head is Richard's best friend.

Man: He's sort of a happy go
lucky kind of hapless person

who freely admits that he's not
as good at coding as Richard.

What if Big Head is sort of like, uh,

a floating utility player?

Kind of like a Jack of all trades.

But by his own admission

he's really more like

a master of none.

That's true. That is true.

When Richard is sort of taking
ownership of this company,

he needs to let Big Head know that Big
Head is really non-essential personnel.

So this is goodbye then.

It's one of the first kind of difficult
choices that Richard has to make

as the CEO of this new company.

Gavin Belson just offered me
a job for 600 grand a year.

What?

Yeah, for revenge.

So you're like, the VP of spite?

I play Gavin Belson who is
the CEO and founder of Hooli.

He wants to buy and
crush Richard Hendricks.

I hate Richard Hendricks,

that little Pied Piper prick.

Is that wrong?

Gavin is sort of in the
mold of one of these guys

who has accomplished so much,
they think they can do anything.

He's the least cool guy I've ever met.

Jared's a guy who's second
in command to Gavin Belson,

and he defects from Hooli to join
this pirate ship of young tech guys.

Hey. Sorry if I scared you.

I know I have some like
ghost-like features.

My uncle used to say, "you look like
someone starved a virgin to death."

Jared just happily takes the shape of
whatever shoe is pressing down on him.

His strength would be his meticulousness

and his material feelings.

From rules based filtering
we go to workflow.

At which point that card
is moved from the icebox

into the in progress column

and it stays there until
it is ready for testing.

And that, gentlemen, is scrum.

This just became a job.

Gavin Belson is spurned by
Richard in favour of Peter Gregory

who promises Richard he will
help Richard find his way.

Man: He's this weirdo,
eccentric billionaire

who can't talk to people,

and yet has that vision that
can see just beyond the horizon.

(Gagging)

Hi. Monica.

I work with Peter Gregory.

My character is kind of

the right hand woman for Peter Gregory.

She's independent, she's strong,

and she holds her own in this
world that is dominated by men.

She's part of the 2% women that
there are in the tech world.

Crew: I was a little nervous working
with all of these amazing comedians.

They've been nothing but so
welcoming and sweet to me,

and I feel like I'm one of the guys.

Grow a pair and talk to
her. Find out for sure.

Why don't you grow a pair
and I'll talk to her.

Judge: The cast in this is really great.

Man: These guys are all young,
really talented improv comedy guys.

They're really good at
playing off each other.

We just kind of wrote to that.

One of the cools things about the show

is that we all knew each
other in some capacity.

In real life we're very similar.

Miller: I mean, they're
actually legitimate nerds.

I don't know. Are you similar?

No.

(Laughs)

Miller: In real life I'm
kind of the least nerdy guy.

I think I'm the only person
that's been in a fight.

Many times Mr. Michael Judge
will see what we're doing,

which is like, playing video games

or playing some other obscenely
nerdy thing and he'll just go,

"huh. Man, art imitates life."

He's super annoying because not only
is he like, obviously a comic genius,

he's also like, a sick upright bassist.

The one thing I did remark when
I first met him is he's handsome.

He's got a strong jaw line.

He has really beautiful eyes.

Oh yeah. Handsome fella.

He's going to see this.
It's going to be weird.

Miller: He sounds exactly like
butt-head from Beavis and Butt-head.

I don't know if he knows the guy

or he used to watch that
growing up a lot or what.

Well, Mike Judge does
have actual street cred

as an engineering nerd.

I never really knew the distinction
between nerds and geeks,

and it's changed over the years.

People nerd out on what is
defined as nerd versus geek.

Geeks to me are... so they kind
of geek out on certain stuff.

Geek is like, a guy who like, has
adult braces and gets in your...

not there's anything
wrong with adult braces,

but like, I feel like he has
like, elective adult braces.

Geeks obviously have some
sort of traumatic past...

Big Head's a nerd. Gilfoyle's the geek.

Dinesh is a nerd.

Uh, and Erlich is a drug addict.

Erlich: I'm making the
world a better place.

Making the world a better place.

Making the world a better place.

Making the world a better place.

Making the world a better place.

Sir! Are you okay in there?

There are these kind of characters
who if they were born 300 years ago,

would not be the richest
people in the world.

And now you have these guys
with billions of dollars

and they're still the same
kind of socially awkward types.

They just don't quite know
how to have fun with it.

That is a narrow car.

Fucking billionaires.

It's the Hollywood of tech.

♪

Whooo!

Man: What a dick.

It's weird.

It's like it's not enough that
they're making billions of dollars,

they also have to be always talking about
how they're making the world a better place.

You know, we're making a lot of money.

And yes, we're disrupting digital media.

But most importantly...

we're making the world a better place

through constructing
elegant class hierarchies

for maximum code reuse and extensibility.

Yeah!

You do not have to know anything about
tech to get the humour of the show.

When our guys are talking about tech,

we try and always attach
it to some sort of an emotion

where even if you don't
understand what they're saying,

you understand the thought behind it.

O'Keeffe: Mike and Alec Berg
really pulled out all the stops

with multiple researchers and consultants

to make sure that this all reflects the
reality of the world we're trying to portray.

Because, you know, we really,
really want to get it right.

I think we have.

At some point I want to make
sure it's all accurate and real

and then after that it probably just

goes in one ear and out the other for me.

What we've recreated in the other room

is an exact replica of a real conference,

TechCrunch Disrupt.

It's a bunch of venders or a
bunch of start-up companies

that all come together
and they pitch their wares

in the hopes of winning TechCrunch.

Crew: They have to present their
app, and fingers crossed it works.

And if it does, it's game
changing for all of them.

And if it doesn't, they're screwed.

We learned about all these companies.

We learned about what TechCrunch was

and in very many ways
we really learned a lot

about the depth of the tech industry.

We've recruited a lot of the companies that
were actually present at the real TechCrunch.

So a lot of the companies
that have booths here,

they're kind of peddling their
wares, are real companies.

So many companies. So many names.

Any combination of
letters are already taken.

What about smaller?

Because then that's an even smaller
version of the word smaller.

So that it looks like smiler.

We're not going to kick the
shit out of nucleus with smiler.

Kwerpy.

Yeah, there's a kwerpy. You
gotta spell it with a "k".

You can't clear anything.

The name defines the company.

It has to be something primal.

Something that you can scream
out during intercourse.

Pied Piper!

Ugh.

Ross: I think Silicon Valley, the show,

is very much about making
your way in the world

and the choices you make,

presented in a comedic fashion,

but under the very intense fire

of everything that's happening
in Silicon Valley right now.

It's just cool to see, you know,

what that breathes in people when like,

literally from one day to
the next you could become

a multi, multi millionaire.

O'Keeffe: But it's in a world that I don't
think people have seen a lot of on television,

so it's interesting.

What Mike and Alec have really
brought to this is a relatability

of guys and friendship

and sort of normal people,

but set in this world with
these heightened stakes,

and that part of it is universal.
