1
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,441
Whoo!

2
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,521
Yeah!

3
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,888
Somebody make
some motherfucking noise in here!

4
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,610
Fuck these people.

5
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,007
Man, this place is unbelievable.

6
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,970
Fucking Goolybib, man.

7
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,849
Those guys build
a mediocre piece of software,

8
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,003
that might be worth something someday,
and now they live here.

9
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,681
There's money flying all over Silicon
Valley but none of it ever seems to hit us.

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,409
What the hell are you eating?

11
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,926
Liquid shrimp. It's 200 dollars a quart.

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,765
Wylie Dufresne made it.

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,645
How does it taste?

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,481
Like how I would imagine cum tastes.

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,409
You guys taking it all in?

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,369
Because this is what it looks like

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,922
when Google acquires your company
for over 200 million dollars.

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,969
Look, Dustin Moskovitz.

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,762
Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt.

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,411
Whatever the fuck the guy's name
is who created Photrio.

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,484
I mean, Kid Rock is the
poorest person here.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,331
Apart from you guys.

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,928
Okay, there's 40 billion dollars
of net worth walking around this party.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,082
And you guys are standing
around drinking shrimp

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,083
and talking about what cum tastes like.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,482
Yeah, I heard that.
You guys live in my incubator.

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,166
You've got to network.
That's why I brought you here.

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,044
Uh, I got us in here.

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,401
Javeed over there is my ex-room-mate.

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,727
Yeah, but I drove.

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,328
Eric Schmidt, Erlich Bachman.

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,688
It's amazing how the men
and women at these things

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,285
always separate like this.

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,807
Yeah, every party in Silicon Valley
ends up like a Hasidic wedding.

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,726
Not even the Goolybib guys
were talking to girls.

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,370
They don't have to, Big Head.

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,204
This house talks to girls.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,489
Hello! Whoo!

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,569
I got seven words for you.

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,848
I love

41
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,562
Goolybib's
integrated-multi-platform-functionality!

42
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:20,766
Yeah!

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,841
- All right!
- Whoo!

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,721
Yeah!

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,564
But seriously,

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,489
you know, a few days ago, when we
were sitting down with Barack Obama,

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,210
I turned to these guys and said,

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,090
"Okay, you know, we're making
a lot of money.

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,004
"And yes, we're disrupting digital media.

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,283
"But most importantly,

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,004
"we're making the world a better place.

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,763
"Through constructing elegant hierarchies
for maximum code reuse and extensibility."

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,770
So, everyone.

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,770
Here's to many more nights
just like this one.

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Take it away, my good friend, Kid Rock.

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,721
What a dick.

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,810
Big Head, there is a personal ad section
on this Asperger site.

58
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,610
Holy shit, this one is looking for

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,724
a "relationship that has the potential
to become sexual in nature."

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,451
Boy, is she on the spectrum.

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,286
She can't even make eye contact
with the camera.

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,010
Richard, can I talk to you for a second?

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,645
- Solo.
- Mmm-hmm.

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,888
We need to talk about Pied Piper.

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,726
What about it? The
website's up and running,

66
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,280
I'm just redesigning the compression.
It just needs users.

67
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,169
Yeah, no shit.

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,924
But even if somebody wanted to use it,

69
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,731
they wouldn't be able to figure out how to.
It's incomprehensible.

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,482
Now, Richard,
when you pitched me Pied Piper

71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,483
you said it was gonna be,
"The Google of Music."

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,449
Which is a really rad
way to pitch something.

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,887
I mean, I liked it.
I thought it had applications.

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,928
No, it has all that.
Look, when it blows up,

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,571
and it will once it reaches
a critical mass of users,

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,445
Pied Piper will be able to search
the whole world of recorded music

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,320
to find out if there's a match to see if
you're infringing on any copyrighted material.

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,961
So, if you're a songwriter or a band...

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,322
Okay, first of all, nobody gives a shit
about stealing other people's music, okay?

80
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,683
Everybody involved in the music industry
is either stealing it or sharing it.

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,967
They're all a bunch of assholes,
especially Radiohead.

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,321
- Look, Richard...
- No.

83
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,209
Yeah, they're assholes.

84
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,567
Now, look, Richard, if
you want to live here,

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,085
- you've got to deliver.
- Mmm.

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,610
I can't have dead weight
at my incubator, okay?

87
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,843
Either that, or show some promise,
for fuck's sake.

88
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,042
Like NipAlert, Big Head's app.

89
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,204
It gives you the location
of a woman with erect nipples.

90
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,691
Now, that's something people want.

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,962
Richard, you need to get
in touch with humanity.

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,885
When I sold my company, Aviato,

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,486
I wanted to give back.

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,645
That's why I started this place,
to do something big. To make a difference.

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,563
You know, like Steve.

96
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,721
Um...

97
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,201
Jobs or Wozniak?

98
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,681
Uh, Steve Jobs or Steve...

99
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,171
Oh, I heard you.

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,043
- Which one?
- Jobs.

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,447
I mean, Jobs was a poser.
He didn't even write code.

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,729
You just disappeared up your own asshole.

103
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,247
- You know that? You did.
- Well, technically...

104
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,285
Big Head, I'm gonna be meditating.

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,081
He knew how to package the ideas,
but it was Wozniak that...

106
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,571
What is Hooli? Excellent question.

107
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,241
Hooli isn't just another high tech company.

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,408
Hooli isn't just about software.

109
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,201
Hooli... Hooli is about people.

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,005
Hooli is about innovative technology
that makes a difference,

111
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,521
transforming the world as we know it.

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Making the world a better place,

113
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,887
through minimal message
oriented transport layers.

114
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,602
I firmly believe we can
only achieve greatness

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,524
if first we achieve goodness.

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,009
Erlich is gonna kick me out.

117
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,730
And I can't afford to pay rent here.

118
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,128
It's insane. $2800 a month,

119
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,801
$4500 a month, with five people.

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,122
Jesus! Why is it so expensive here?

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,171
Look at this place, it's a shithole.

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,761
Uh-oh.

123
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,001
Here's another one.

124
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,760
Miss Palo Alto, 2K14.

125
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,285
There she goes.

126
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,127
Oh, God, the marketing team
is having another bike meeting.

127
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,486
Douchebags.

128
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,083
Just another day inside the
Gavin Belson cult compound.

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,882
Hey, did you hear
what Peter Gregory is doing?

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,564
You mean buying that island in the Pacific?

131
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,529
No, he's building one actually.

132
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,841
Baller.

133
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,088
Anyway, he's also offering 100K

134
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,403
to people willing to skip or drop out
of college to pursue their idea.

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,326
I don't know what happened to that guy,
but he really hates college.

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,887
Anyway, he's doing a TED Talks
in Palo Alto tonight.

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440
- Should we try to get in?
- I dropped out of college.

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,569
Maybe I should re-enroll
and drop out again.

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,966
Try and get the money.

140
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,641
Brogrammers.

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,087
Oh, no, no.

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,242
Hey, a double macchiato for me, dude.

143
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,446
Yeah.

144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,491
Hey, Rico, you been working out?

145
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,409
No. No, I have not.

146
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,448
I don't have time to even if I wanted to.

147
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,249
I'm too busy working on my website.

148
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,921
Uh, I just, I don't want to end up
being a Hooli lifer.

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,321
You know, working here forever.

150
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,605
Yeah, working for the most
innovative company in the world,

151
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,690
with top pay and vested stock options.

152
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,728
I can totally see why
you wouldn't want that.

153
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Yeah, you're like an artist.
An entrepreneur.

154
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,044
An iconoclast.

155
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,684
I don't know, maybe.

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,843
Dude, we're just messing with you.

157
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,324
But we really want to help you with your site.
What's it called?

158
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,766
Pied Piper.

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,569
- Dude, sounds amazing.
- Yeah.

160
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,608
Why don't you shoot it over to us
and we'll give it a look.

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Maybe we can help.

162
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,050
- Uh, really?
- Yeah.

163
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,520
Okay, yeah...

164
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,206
I mean it's always good
to have more eyes on it.

165
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,525
Look, it's sending... Sent it.

166
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,122
Oh. You're making fun of me.

167
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,168
- Dude, no.
- No, you are.

168
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,288
- No, Ricky, man.
- Ricky. Ricky, come back.

169
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,044
It's actually Richard, so that's...

170
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,840
- Pied wiper.
- Wide diaper.

171
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,526
Gates, Ellison,

172
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,450
Jobs, Dell...

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,369
All dropped out of college.

174
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,324
Silicon Valley is the cradle of innovation

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,289
because of drop outs.

176
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,126
College

177
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,601
has become a cruel, expensive joke

178
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,290
on the poor and the middle class

179
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,645
that benefits only the perpetrators of it.

180
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,404
The bloated administrators.

181
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,967
You are a dangerous man,
spewing ignorance!

182
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,684
I don't think so.

183
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,686
I'm just saying people
should trust themselves

184
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,885
more than a system that happily churns out
unemployed debtors

185
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,327
and provides dubious value.

186
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,530
The true value of a college education
is intangible.

187
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,409
The true value of snake-oil
is intangible as well.

188
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,011
Fascist.

189
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,845
- Anything?
- Eh.

190
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,849
The usual riffs on Twitter and lnstagram.

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,570
Nothing I'd fund.

192
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,488
Hi, excuse me, Mr. Gregory? Um...

193
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,881
I have an idea I'd love to pitch you,
if you have time.

194
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,961
Ooh.

195
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,447
Uh...

196
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,129
Well, that is before I just give up
and go back to college.

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,441
Don't... Do not do that.

198
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,249
Go work at Burger King.

199
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,448
Go into the woods and forage
for nuts and berries.

200
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,568
Do not go back to college!

201
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,245
I think I have been played.

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,009
Fine. Go ahead and pitch.

203
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,287
You have until I fasten
the seatbelt in my car.

204
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,044
Thank you so much. Uh...

205
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,891
Pied Piper is a proprietary site
that lets you find out

206
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,804
if your music is infringing
on any existing copyrights.

207
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,724
So, imagine you were a songwriter, okay?

208
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,962
I don't think I could write a song.

209
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:24,808
Yeah, no, just imagine if you were.

210
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,202
I don't even think I could say,
"Pied Piper is a proprietary site."

211
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,287
Well, I just did but it wasn't easy.

212
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,323
Crunching all those songs to find matches

213
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,370
sounds like it would take
incredible processing power.

214
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,965
- I mean...
- Yes.

215
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,724
Yes, it does.

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,051
No, no. It's... I made an algorithm.

217
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,888
Look, why don't you send me a link to
your project and we'll take a look.

218
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,561
Okay, yeah, great.

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,570
I put the prototype up on Github.

220
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,528
Pied Piper. I'll look it up.

221
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,528
It's like the fable with the kids
and then the rats and the music.

222
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,083
That is a narrow car.

223
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,969
Fucking billionaires.

224
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,090
Hey, wanna check out twig-boy's website?

225
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,964
Yes, I do.

226
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,124
You have to download
your own media player?

227
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,968
Oh. Look at me, I traveled back to 2009.

228
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,611
Wait a sec.

229
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,802
What is this file size?

230
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,442
1.2 megabytes? No way.

231
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,405
Wow, that doesn't sound at all downgraded.

232
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,370
The file size is like, half.

233
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,842
And look how fast this search is.

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,929
Holy shit, how did it
find a match that fast?

235
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,083
It's like it's searching compressed files?

236
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,770
No way.

237
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,481
Look at that Weissman score.

238
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,011
2.89.

239
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,367
Hey, where have you two been?

240
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800
We're playing the multi-channel router team
in five minutes.

241
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,889
Okay, how the hell did he do this?

242
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,641
And the compression is totally lossless.

243
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,404
And he's somehow figured out a way
to do a search on a compressed data space.

244
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,971
- Holy shit.
- Yeah.

245
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,929
And I don't think he even realizes
what he has here.

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,162
He's using it for some
silly songwriter app.

247
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,920
All these guys are like that,
they're all about consumer facing.

248
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,689
Right, but you take something like this,

249
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,286
make it business facing
and use it for enterprise,

250
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,567
the applications could be endless.

251
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,521
Hey, Gilfoyle, I thought
you were a Satanist?

252
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,041
I'm a LaVeyan Satanist

253
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,725
with some theistic tendencies.

254
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,290
Oh, some theistic tendencies.

255
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,691
Well then, what's with the cross?

256
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,885
It's an upside down cross.

257
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,048
Not from here it isn't.

258
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,522
Oh, I see, you know what you should do?

259
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,450
You should get another tattoo
that says, "This side up" on it.

260
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,130
How does this translate into Farsi?

261
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,770
That's not the language I speak.

262
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,561
Frontier Airlines just happened
to like mine, Aviato.

263
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,884
And that's how I got to where I am.

264
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,248
So, what do you got?

265
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,207
Okay, here it is.

266
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,410
Bit Soup.

267
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,201
It's like alphabet soup,

268
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,406
but it's ones and zeros,
instead of the letters.

269
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,165
'Cause it's binary.
You know, binary is just ones and zeroes.

270
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,765
Yeah, I know what binary is.

271
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,207
Jesus Christ!
I memorized the hexadecimal times tables

272
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,362
when I was 14 writing machine code!

273
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,442
Okay? Ask me what nine times F is.

274
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:52,205
It's fleventyfive.

275
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,641
I do not need you telling
me what binary is,

276
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,327
just like I don't need you thinking
about soup or taking pictures of it.

277
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,250
I need you thinking about
apps, software, websites.

278
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,125
This is Silicon Valley, all right, not...

279
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,770
Paris, Texas.

280
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,401
Hmm.

281
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,369
That's where Campbell's Soup is.

282
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,204
It's the Hooli number again.

283
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,526
It's probably those brogrammers.

284
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,762
Can't wait to tell me how
stupid my website is.

285
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,047
Assholes.

286
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,522
Hello, Richard Hendricks.
I'm a total fucking retard.

287
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,691
Uh, hi, this is Jared
Dunn calling from Hooli.

288
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,322
I'm calling on behalf of Gavin Belson.

289
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,843
I didn't... Hi.

290
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,729
Gavin is very excited
about your Pied Piper application

291
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,486
and we were wondering if you could come in
for a sit-down with us.

292
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,564
- Are you available now?
- Okay.

293
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,761
- Sure.
- Okay, we'll be here.

294
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,723
Yes. Good-bye.

295
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,481
Uh...

296
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,529
I have a meeting with Gavin Belson.

297
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,251
He likes Pied Piper.

298
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,890
- Holy shit.
- I own 10% of Pied Piper.

299
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,411
You said it was a shitty idea.

300
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,845
It was a shitty idea.

301
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,970
I'm not sure what it is now.

302
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,282
- What time's the meeting?
- Right now.

303
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,891
I'm gonna need a better shirt.

304
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,886
Holy shit.

305
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,088
- What the fuck am I waiting for?
- Uh, see ya.

306
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,125
Well, it's like Gavin always says,
"it takes change to make change."

307
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,530
Uh, yeah, I think I've
seen that written around.

308
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,601
- Hey.
- Hi.

309
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,442
Gavin is running 30 minutes late

310
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,002
but you should know,
he is very excited to see you, Richard.

311
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,081
Oh.

312
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,650
He's with his spiritual advisor.

313
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,960
He shouldn't be that much longer.

314
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,601
I'm a VP here and I only get to see him
about 10 minutes a month.

315
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,763
Yeah, but that 10 minutes
is just incredible.

316
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,526
I heard Richard Hendricks was here.

317
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,809
Have you ever met Gavin before?

318
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,325
- No.
- No?

319
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,046
Oh, I told him, it's amazing.

320
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,840
That hardly begins to describe it.

321
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,681
It's weird.

322
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,687
They always travel in groups of five.

323
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,446
These programmers, there's
always a tall skinny white guy,

324
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,443
short skinny Asian guy,

325
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,045
fat guy with a ponytail,

326
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,009
some guy with crazy facial hair

327
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,765
and then an East Indian guy.

328
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,251
It's like they trade guys
until they all have the right group.

329
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,920
You clearly have a great
understanding of humanity.

330
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,285
And Gavin said, "I'm not humiliating you,
I'm elevating you."

331
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,930
Oh, Gavin...

332
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,844
This is Richard.

333
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,086
It's Peter Gregory.

334
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,081
Uh...

335
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,401
No.

336
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,087
Come on, Big Head.

337
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,685
Yeah, I'm coming. Slow...

338
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,211
Why are you going that fast?

339
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,320
'Cause we've got a meeting
with Gavin Belson.

340
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,361
Pick up the pace.

341
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,640
- We honestly don't.
- Come on.

342
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,567
I'm actually outside of Gavin Belson's
office right now, Mr. Gregory.

343
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,202
Uh, here he comes, so can I call you back
in a second?

344
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,851
So, Richard Hendricks is here!

345
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,091
- There you are, Richard.
- Hi.

346
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
So sorry these gentleman
have kept you waiting.

347
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,080
- That's fine.
- So here's the thing.

348
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,248
I love what you did.

349
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,440
- Really?
- Fill him in, Jared.

350
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,321
Now, as you know, Hooli is seen as possibly
the most progressive company in the world.

351
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,007
Part of that is Gavin's
commitment to social justice,

352
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,611
but part of it is his personal commitment
to the people that work at Hooli.

353
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,082
In that spirit Gavin is prepared to
give you a very substantial raise,

354
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,525
and a promotion to go with it.

355
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,569
I own 10 percent.

356
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,768
He created it while living in my incubator.

357
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,691
Erlich Bachman. This is Big Head.

358
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:03,326
I don't know what any of that means,

359
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,244
but I'll give you 600
thousand dollars for it.

360
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,324
We have the reach and the resources
to take what you have done

361
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,966
and push it to the global level.

362
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,089
That is a generous offer. I, um...

363
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,801
Shit, sorry. Hello.

364
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,604
Really? No shit, that's...

365
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,927
Uh, yeah, yeah. No, here.
It's Peter Gregory.

366
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,050
Not sure how he got my number.

367
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,921
Uh, this is Richard.

368
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,082
I'll give you $3 million for it
right now!

369
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,521
Uh...

370
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,888
Gavin Belson just offered me
$3 million for Pied Piper.

371
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,289
I'm prepared to give you $300,000.

372
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,202
Peter Gregory just offered me 300...

373
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,723
Did you say thousand dollars?

374
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,365
For 10% of your company.

375
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,841
Okay, 4 million.

376
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,770
200,000.

377
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,045
- For 5%.
- Huh?

378
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,563
You just went down.

379
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,327
No, you're still valued
at four million dollars.

380
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,724
But you own 95%
of a potential billion-dollar company.

381
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,402
And not just that,
I will help you build this company.

382
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,001
I will introduce you
to the people you need to know

383
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,401
and provide the counsel that you need.

384
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,928
I will take a small piece,
but the company will belong to you.

385
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,481
Not Gavin Belson.

386
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,408
You have until tomorrow to decide.

387
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,761
Uh...

388
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,080
Okay.

389
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,361
- Um, you know...
- Pull your head out of your ass, Richard.

390
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,889
I'm offering you
$4 million right now.

391
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,007
Mmm...

392
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,761
I'm...

393
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,605
That is a lot of money.

394
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,050
You know, I actually have to...

395
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,208
I've got to go to the bathroom.

396
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,281
I've got to pee.

397
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,727
It's desperate. I'm bursting.

398
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,049
I'll be right back, but right now...

399
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:54,281
Okay, 10 million.

400
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,681
No. Maybe.

401
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,200
I didn't mean to snap at you.

402
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,123
I'll talk in a bit.

403
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,690
Won't be long.

404
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,006
Little more about me.

405
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,210
I am the founder of Aviato, and I own
a very small percentage of Grindr.

406
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,965
It's a men to men dating site

407
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,168
where you can find other men
within 10 miles of you

408
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,965
interested in having sexual intercourse
in a public restroom.

409
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,245
In the homosexual community
there's sometimes anonymous...

410
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,560
I know what Grindr is.

411
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,971
I have gay friends.

412
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,684
So you will survive.

413
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,280
It's just a garden variety panic attack.

414
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,930
Welcome to Silicon Valley.

415
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,809
We see people like you all the time.

416
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,531
- Really?
- Yes.

417
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,921
It's just I have to make
this decision by tomorrow.

418
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,490
Yeah. You know, a while back,

419
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,767
we had a guy in here
in almost the exact same situation,

420
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,320
"Take the money or keep the company."

421
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,681
What happened?

422
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,445
Well, a couple months later,

423
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,808
he was brought into the ER
with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

424
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,848
I guess he really regretted
not taking that money.

425
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,961
He shot himself because
he turned down the money?

426
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,605
Yeah.

427
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,689
Or no, he took the money.

428
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,326
Or no.

429
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,325
No, he did not. I don't... You know what?

430
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,050
I don't remember. But whatever it was,

431
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,963
he regretted it so much
that he ended up shooting himself.

432
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,088
- And now he's blind.
- He's blind?

433
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,003
Yeah, just FYI,
if you're ever gonna shoot yourself,

434
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,491
don't hold the gun up to your temple, okay?

435
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,291
Because that just basically took out
both of his optic nerves and then,

436
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:30,850
you know, half of his face.

437
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,968
And then his wife left him,
because, you know...

438
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,125
- Yikes.
- Right.

439
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,250
He may have been a genius programmer

440
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,891
but not so much
in human anatomy.

441
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,564
Or decision making, for that matter.

442
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,561
Now he's got to live with all that

443
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,490
and whatever terrible decision
he made about the money.

444
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,402
Uh, and what do I do if I feel
another panic attack coming on?

445
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,923
Mmm. Would you be interested in a device

446
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,522
that links up to your smartphone
and it keeps track of your vitals

447
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,284
and it tells you, even
before it's happening,

448
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,011
whether you're having a panic attack
or an actual heart attack?

449
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,285
Yeah, that sounds great.

450
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:08,569
You would, right? Okay, that's great news.

451
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,762
Because it's still in prototype phase
right now,

452
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,683
but my start-up partners
and I are looking for investors.

453
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,888
Like today. So will you
please let me know...

454
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,961
I'm going to give you my number.

455
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,963
If you do end up taking
that 10 million dollars

456
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,726
because we could really
make the world a better place.

457
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,365
Whoa!

458
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,601
Oh, jeez!

459
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,806
Richard.

460
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,724
Hi, Monica. I work with Peter Gregory.

461
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,041
- We met outside the TED...
- Yeah, I remember you.

462
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,964
What... How'd you know I was here?

463
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,045
Peter Gregory is invested in a company
that uses GPS in phones to track people.

464
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,967
That's creepy.

465
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,964
You don't know the half of it.

466
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,804
And neither does Congress.

467
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,888
- Are you okay?
- Look, I don't want to waste your time.

468
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,725
I think I gotta take
the money from Gavin Belson.

469
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,805
At least this way when I blow my eyeballs out
I'll have some money left for my family.

470
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,161
Jesus.

471
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,485
Sorry. That is a terrible doctor in there.

472
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,087
Richard, buried in that clunky UI of yours

473
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,085
is a compression algorithm
that blew our engineering team away.

474
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,520
And what do you think Hooli
is going to do with it?

475
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,723
I don't know. That's their business.

476
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,086
This is your baby.

477
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,924
Do you even realize the impact

478
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,651
that a compression this good
could have on the world?

479
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,047
Getting any file on your mobile phone
in an instant.

480
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,610
Navigation data for self-driving cars,
mobile medical imagery,

481
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,286
all transmitting with no quality loss.

482
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,929
This is game-changing.

483
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,051
And don't you want to be
in the driver's seat when that happens?

484
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,567
You really want to just
turn it all over to Hooli and walk away?

485
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,041
Well, you are not making
this easier for me.

486
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,205
I'm not trying to.

487
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:56,805
I mean, you're actually making it worse.

488
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,406
My hands are tingling.
I have this metal taste in my mouth.

489
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,562
Actually, I can't go back in there,
so I'm going to go home.

490
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,041
- Let me give you a ride home.
- Good to see you again.

491
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,690
Uh, okay. Thanks.

492
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,640
Dude, where have you been?

493
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,125
Why won't you answer your phone?

494
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,123
Man, this has grown
way beyond AngelList, man.

495
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,443
Andreesen, Elevation and like a bunch of
other seed firms are piling onto this thing.

496
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,000
I mean, they've been calling Erlich.

497
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,850
He's out of control.

498
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,121
Yeah.

499
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,730
What if we took Peter Gregory's 200K
and built our own company?

500
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,160
I'm sorry. You said "we."

501
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,370
Who's that in reference to exactly?

502
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,367
You, me, Dinesh, Big Head, us.

503
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,441
I mean, right now Pied
Piper just does audio,

504
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,450
but I'm thinking of ways
to compress images, video...

505
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,401
I mean, maybe Peter Gregory's right.
Maybe this thing could be huge.

506
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,802
Look, guys, for thousands of years

507
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,446
guys like us
have gotten the shit kicked out of us.

508
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,364
But now, for the first time,
we are living in an era

509
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,284
where we can be in charge
and build empires.

510
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,086
We could be the Vikings of our day.

511
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,489
- Vikings?
- How are you feeling?

512
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,251
You look super fucked up, to be honest.

513
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,764
Who ate my fucking quinoa again?

514
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,601
So you're really about to go tell Erlich
that he's not going to get his $1 million?

515
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,768
Yeah, I don't want to be there
when you do that.

516
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,365
I would like to be there when you do that.

517
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,568
No, just stay here, please.

518
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,601
Hey-

519
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,921
Um...

520
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:29,286
So, I've been thinking about this whole
Peter Gregory, Gavin Belson thing.

521
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,847
And, um, I think I'm going
to go with Peter Gregory.

522
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,566
- Uh, which I know means...
- Richard.

523
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,804
I know that you look at me,
and see a guy who has it all figured out.

524
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,487
And for the most part, you're right, I do.

525
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,650
When I sold Aviato,

526
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,361
it gave me a house, money, fancy clothes,

527
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,522
the universal respect of all the ladies.

528
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,124
But there's always been a hole in my heart.

529
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,082
Not a literal hole like you would find
in some babies with congenital diseases,

530
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,083
but a metaphorical hole.

531
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,483
I guess that hole is the "What if."

532
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,331
What if I didn't sell?

533
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,805
I'll never know.

534
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,802
And so I guess what I'm
saying to you now is,

535
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,010
you're like me, Richard.

536
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,250
You want to build something

537
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,084
and see it through.

538
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,321
Uh, so, just to be clear.

539
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,530
You're all right with me saying no to a deal
that will net you a million dollars outright?

540
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,489
No, Richard. I'm not all right with it.

541
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,369
I'm excited about it.

542
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,969
Let's see how high this
rocket can fly, partner.

543
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,411
Okay. Great.

544
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,163
That's great. Uh...

545
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,846
Not partners, exactly.

546
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,441
But everything else is great.

547
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,364
Call it what you want.

548
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,611
Always blue, always blue, always blue,

549
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,331
always blue, always blue, always blue,

550
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,209
always blue, always...

551
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,090
Oh, that was a yellow.

552
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,201
What was that, 17?

553
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,203
- It's pretty good.
- Hey, guys...

554
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,806
Guys, can I just kind of say
something real quick?

555
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,042
I know it's stupid but...

556
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,489
I just want to say, uh,

557
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,485
I'd like for this company
to just be different than Hooli

558
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,608
and Goolybib and all the rest, you know?

559
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,411
Like, let's like not turn this
into a corporate cult

560
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,121
with bike meetings and voluntary retreats
that are actually mandatory.

561
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,329
And claiming to make the world
a better place all the time.

562
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,963
Let's, uh... Let's just think different.

563
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,083
Uh, don't think different. That's Apple.

564
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,244
Let's just... Let's just do it.

565
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,845
- That's Nike, man.
- I know that's Nike.

566
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,921
- Yeah.
- Uh...

567
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,766
Fuck it. I don't know.
Let's just make it... Let's make it happen.

568
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,365
Yeah, agreed.

569
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,490
To his beneficence.

570
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,005
Peter Gregory?

571
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,686
- The dark lord.
- Of course, the dark lord.

572
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,967
Big Head.

573
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,729
God, he's worse high.

574
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,488
Always blue, always blue,
always blue, always blue, always blue...

575
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,449
Always blue, always...
