1
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:07,450
From "Bloomberg West" in San Francisco,

2
00:00:07,552 --> 00:00:08,451
I'm Emily Chang.

3
00:00:08,553 --> 00:00:10,186
General Keith Alexander is here

4
00:00:10,288 --> 00:00:12,421
to tackle tech's role
in counter-terrorism,

5
00:00:12,523 --> 00:00:15,191
but first, a quick glimpse
with Richard Hendricks,

6
00:00:15,293 --> 00:00:16,258
founder and CEO

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,794
of the hot new compression
platform Pied Piper,

8
00:00:18,896 --> 00:00:21,764
and Erlich Bachman, Chief Visionary.

9
00:00:21,866 --> 00:00:22,765
Oh, Emily Chang,

10
00:00:22,867 --> 00:00:24,667
it is just splendid to be here with you,

11
00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:28,437
at historical Pier Three,
with a breathtaking view

12
00:00:28,539 --> 00:00:30,306
of the
Embarcadero Center

13
00:00:30,408 --> 00:00:32,308
and the flag of San Francisco.

14
00:00:32,410 --> 00:00:33,375
Now, Richard...

15
00:00:33,478 --> 00:00:34,777
Richard actually developed

16
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:36,946
this technology in my incubator.

17
00:00:37,048 --> 00:00:39,748
I am listed--
I was originally listed

18
00:00:39,851 --> 00:00:42,184
under the white pages
as "Erlich Blachman,"

19
00:00:42,286 --> 00:00:45,120
uh, with an "L," a typo that
apparently couldn't be changed,

20
00:00:45,223 --> 00:00:48,190
and then Google indexed it, so
I've been dealing with that.

21
00:00:48,292 --> 00:00:52,795
Richard, Pied Piper has
taken off like a rocket.

22
00:00:52,897 --> 00:00:54,663
More than a hundred thousand installs

23
00:00:54,765 --> 00:00:57,132
in just ten days. Is that right?

24
00:00:58,302 --> 00:00:59,702
Uh... uh, yes.

25
00:00:59,804 --> 00:01:00,703
Pretty amazing.

26
00:01:00,805 --> 00:01:02,338
And you have a last-minute invite

27
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,973
to the "Vanity Fair"
Summit dinner tonight.

28
00:01:04,075 --> 00:01:06,742
Quite an honor for such a young company.

29
00:01:06,844 --> 00:01:08,244
Richard, maybe you can
comment on this one?

30
00:01:08,346 --> 00:01:11,780
Yeah, we are the-- finally
the-- the belles of the balls.

31
00:01:11,883 --> 00:01:13,582
I mean, uh, ball.

32
00:01:13,684 --> 00:01:18,888
Now, some people are calling
you the next unicorn.

33
00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:20,789
Have you guys thought about that?

34
00:01:20,892 --> 00:01:23,058
You could have a billion-dollar company.

35
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,396
Erlich, you could own five
percent of a billion dollars.

36
00:01:27,498 --> 00:01:28,731
Uh, ten, actually.

37
00:01:28,833 --> 00:01:29,798
Richard, this is boring.

38
00:01:29,901 --> 00:01:30,866
- Shit.
- No, no, no.

39
00:01:30,968 --> 00:01:32,768
He was--
he was an early investor.

40
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:34,770
Again, it's... Erlich Bachman.

41
00:01:34,872 --> 00:01:38,440
If you Google that, it'll say,
"Did you mean Erlich Blachman?"

42
00:01:38,543 --> 00:01:39,708
You can click on that link,

43
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:42,478
it'll give you the correct
results for Erlich Bachman.

44
00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:45,047
Should we take some calls?

45
00:01:45,149 --> 00:01:46,282
We don't do that here.

46
00:01:47,785 --> 00:01:49,218
I just know what I saw, Richard.

47
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,788
No, come on. Look, she's married,
she just had another baby.

48
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:56,525
If you pushed a little harder, you could
have scored right there on camera.

49
00:01:56,627 --> 00:01:58,427
- You should get her phone number.
- Shut up.

50
00:01:59,931 --> 00:02:03,832
Oh. This is actually, uh,
Jian-Yang pranking me.

51
00:02:03,935 --> 00:02:05,000
I should take it.

52
00:02:06,871 --> 00:02:10,406
Yes, of course I have frog's legs.
Why do you ask?

53
00:02:10,508 --> 00:02:14,810
Are you serious? Have you honestly still
not told him that you sold your shares?

54
00:02:14,912 --> 00:02:16,445
You can't keep lying to him like this.

55
00:02:16,547 --> 00:02:17,980
It's not technically a lie.

56
00:02:18,082 --> 00:02:19,214
My shares don't transfer to Raviga

57
00:02:19,317 --> 00:02:20,549
until the next board meeting.

58
00:02:20,651 --> 00:02:22,318
Come on, it's been ten days.

59
00:02:22,420 --> 00:02:24,820
I know, I know, but, you
know, the TechCrunch thing

60
00:02:24,922 --> 00:02:26,455
came up and then there
was the Reddit AMA

61
00:02:26,557 --> 00:02:28,824
and, you know, now this Bloomberg thing.

62
00:02:28,926 --> 00:02:31,493
And besides, let's be honest, Richard
shouldn't be in the public eye

63
00:02:31,596 --> 00:02:35,798
without me along to help. Did you see the
skeeved-out look on Emily Chang's face?

64
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:37,266
I thought she was going to walk off set.

65
00:02:37,368 --> 00:02:38,968
Erlich, you're lying to him,

66
00:02:39,070 --> 00:02:41,904
and you made me a part of it,
so now I'm lying to him, too.

67
00:02:42,006 --> 00:02:43,973
The longer you wait, the
worse this is gonna get.

68
00:02:44,075 --> 00:02:46,208
- All right, fine, I'll tell him.
- When?

69
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:49,244
After the "Vanity Fair" thing tonight.
I mean, did you see the guest list?

70
00:02:49,347 --> 00:02:50,879
Monica, throw me a bone here.

71
00:02:50,982 --> 00:02:52,982
24 hours, then I'm telling him.

72
00:02:53,084 --> 00:02:55,084
- Fine, I'll tell him. I'll tell Richard.
- I'm serious.

73
00:02:55,186 --> 00:02:56,652
- Tell me what?
- I'm not joking--

74
00:02:56,754 --> 00:02:59,321
Um, it was, uh, Jian-Yang.

75
00:02:59,423 --> 00:03:02,124
He said to tell you that
Phillip McCrevis left word.

76
00:03:02,226 --> 00:03:05,160
Oh, who's "Fill-up My--" Oh.

77
00:03:12,147 --> 00:03:15,019
♪

78
00:03:16,841 --> 00:03:20,676
Richard, we'd better get our
asses in first fucking gear

79
00:03:20,778 --> 00:03:23,846
if we want to make it to
this "Verge" photoshoot.

80
00:03:23,948 --> 00:03:25,648
Oh, shit. That's today?

81
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:27,216
Yes, I assumed that's why you're still

82
00:03:27,318 --> 00:03:29,351
- wearing your Bloomberg makeup.
- No.

83
00:03:29,453 --> 00:03:31,887
No, I was just--
I kind of like the way it--

84
00:03:31,989 --> 00:03:34,990
can we just push this
to next week, please?

85
00:03:35,092 --> 00:03:37,393
They don't really do that.

86
00:03:37,495 --> 00:03:39,595
Okay, well, can you go?

87
00:03:39,697 --> 00:03:41,130
Please? I just have a ton of work,

88
00:03:41,232 --> 00:03:42,998
and honestly I would be really happy

89
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:44,767
if I never had to do
any of this ever again

90
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:46,535
and then you were just
the face of the company.

91
00:03:46,637 --> 00:03:48,804
You know what I mean? Oh, shit.

92
00:03:48,906 --> 00:03:50,773
What-- what time is this
"Vanity Fair" thing?

93
00:03:50,875 --> 00:03:53,108
It's tonight. I figure
we're wheels up by 6:00,

94
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:56,378
then we can check into the hotel,
shit, shave and shit again.

95
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,213
- Get a cocktail.
- What hotel?

96
00:03:58,315 --> 00:04:00,015
Eavesdropping. Well, if you must know,

97
00:04:00,117 --> 00:04:03,152
we got a suite at the Fairmont,
and they're sending a car.

98
00:04:03,254 --> 00:04:05,954
I think Richard deserves it. And
then I figured tomorrow in the a.m.,

99
00:04:06,057 --> 00:04:08,223
we would sleep in and
have a nice brunch.

100
00:04:08,325 --> 00:04:10,659
I don't have time for a brunch.
I have to be back here.

101
00:04:10,761 --> 00:04:14,963
Come on, eggs benny, a little spinach
tartar, you'll flirt with the waitress.

102
00:04:15,066 --> 00:04:18,467
Killer. And, uh, we'll have a nice talk.

103
00:04:18,569 --> 00:04:23,906
- Talk? What about?
- You know, things, all sorts of themes.

104
00:04:24,008 --> 00:04:27,609
So tomorrow, you, me, brunch

105
00:04:27,712 --> 00:04:31,980
and, uh, one word... frittata.

106
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:36,652
Hey, fellas, is it me or is
it a bit chilly in here?

107
00:04:39,623 --> 00:04:42,357
What in God's name is that?

108
00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:44,526
What do you think it is? It's a jacket!

109
00:04:44,628 --> 00:04:48,097
Now, I only
ordered one as a sample,

110
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:50,933
but once I have your sizes,
we can all have them.

111
00:04:51,035 --> 00:04:53,736
Why would we all want them?
One is already too many.

112
00:04:53,838 --> 00:04:56,138
I don't mean in the house. I
mean, like, in the world.

113
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,309
Now Gilfoyle, I have you at
about a 40 long? Am I right?

114
00:05:00,411 --> 00:05:02,678
If my mother was naked
and dead in the street,

115
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:05,614
I would not cover her
body with that jacket.

116
00:05:05,716 --> 00:05:08,617
Gilf.

117
00:05:08,719 --> 00:05:09,852
Jared, now that you're here,

118
00:05:09,954 --> 00:05:12,521
we need two new tables
in the game room. Yeah?

119
00:05:12,623 --> 00:05:16,225
Okay. Well, maybe against the doors?

120
00:05:16,327 --> 00:05:18,360
Oh, hold on, there's more.

121
00:05:18,462 --> 00:05:21,930
Because 'awesome
world-changing compression company'

122
00:05:22,032 --> 00:05:23,832
would take up too much space."

123
00:05:23,934 --> 00:05:26,034
And you guys give me shit
for a tiny gold chain?

124
00:05:26,137 --> 00:05:30,072
I regret nothing. I'm
going to get coffee.

125
00:05:34,111 --> 00:05:35,177
Hey, Brownie, you coming?

126
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,179
I was thinking we'd hit
the Philz on Middlefield.

127
00:05:37,281 --> 00:05:40,115
No, let's drive to the
one on Forest Avenue.

128
00:05:40,217 --> 00:05:42,217
It's further from that jacket.

129
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:45,821
Claude, you're on pager
duty until we get back.

130
00:05:46,957 --> 00:05:49,558
Jared, can I borrow that jacket?

131
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:52,628
I sense you're doing
something ironic with it,

132
00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:55,297
but I'm okay with that because...

133
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:58,500
however unattractive this
jacket may seem to you,

134
00:05:58,602 --> 00:06:01,703
once you slip it on,
everything will change.

135
00:06:01,806 --> 00:06:05,340
It'll shake out its hair
and take off its glasses,

136
00:06:05,442 --> 00:06:07,442
and before you know it,
you'll be in love.

137
00:06:07,545 --> 00:06:11,113
Jared, it's really fucking ugly.

138
00:06:12,883 --> 00:06:15,184
Consider the tortoise.

139
00:06:15,286 --> 00:06:16,718
As the fable teaches us,

140
00:06:16,821 --> 00:06:18,987
it may appear that he
is losing in his race

141
00:06:19,089 --> 00:06:22,624
against his nemesis, the
insolent and cocksure hare.

142
00:06:24,495 --> 00:06:26,428
But appearances can be deceiving.

143
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:28,630
Gavin, the tortoise. Is it Endframe?

144
00:06:28,732 --> 00:06:31,400
Yes. But there's more.

145
00:06:31,502 --> 00:06:32,598
The hare is Pied Piper.

146
00:06:32,622 --> 00:06:34,861
Indeed it is. Someone's
read their Aesop.

147
00:06:34,939 --> 00:06:36,471
We've also read the financials, Gavin.

148
00:06:36,574 --> 00:06:38,640
Between Nucleus and Endframe,
you've burned through

149
00:06:38,742 --> 00:06:40,576
three-quarters of a billion dollars,

150
00:06:40,678 --> 00:06:42,778
with virtually nothing to show for it.

151
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,547
Two weeks ago, on the
heels of powering down

152
00:06:45,649 --> 00:06:47,950
the entire Hooli campus
for seemingly no reason,

153
00:06:48,052 --> 00:06:51,587
you lost all of Endframe's
senior engineers.

154
00:06:51,689 --> 00:06:54,790
I grant you, we've stumbled
on offense of late,

155
00:06:54,892 --> 00:06:56,692
but the best offense is a good defense.

156
00:06:56,794 --> 00:06:59,127
We've taken a page out
of Apple's playbook

157
00:06:59,230 --> 00:07:02,531
and are currently "reviewing"
the Pied Piper app for sale

158
00:07:02,633 --> 00:07:06,335
in our Hooli store at a pace one
might call "tortoise-like."

159
00:07:06,437 --> 00:07:08,036
Don't. They hate that.

160
00:07:08,138 --> 00:07:10,505
In any case, I have it on good authority

161
00:07:10,608 --> 00:07:13,008
that it may be some
time before Pied Piper

162
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:15,611
is available on Hooli OS devices.

163
00:07:15,713 --> 00:07:18,413
- We're making it available immediately.
- Sorry?

164
00:07:18,515 --> 00:07:21,450
You're fighting a war that's already
ended, Gavin. Pied Piper won.

165
00:07:21,552 --> 00:07:25,354
We called this board meeting to inform
you that it's time for Hooli to let go

166
00:07:25,456 --> 00:07:27,089
and move on without you at the wheel.

167
00:07:27,191 --> 00:07:30,993
I'm sorry, without me?
Are you firing me?

168
00:07:31,095 --> 00:07:32,661
Our intention is simply
to transition you

169
00:07:32,763 --> 00:07:34,963
into a more appropriate
role within the company,

170
00:07:35,065 --> 00:07:37,966
one with less oversight
of day-to-day operations.

171
00:07:40,271 --> 00:07:42,404
You're putting me on the fucking roof?

172
00:07:42,506 --> 00:07:45,641
You could always choose to
move on, Gavin. Up to you.

173
00:07:45,743 --> 00:07:50,712
I built this company with my
bare hands in my fucking garage.

174
00:07:50,814 --> 00:07:52,714
Where were you when I was doing that?

175
00:07:53,784 --> 00:07:54,950
Gavin?

176
00:07:55,886 --> 00:07:57,219
These animals?

177
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:12,401
Fuck.

178
00:08:12,503 --> 00:08:16,638
Well, uh, you are certainly more than
qualified to be our new head of PR.

179
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:20,943
Laurie thinks you're great. Um, to
be honest, we could use the help.

180
00:08:21,045 --> 00:08:24,780
All the media stuff has been pretty
overwhelming, especially lately.

181
00:08:24,882 --> 00:08:27,783
- If Marissa Mayer can do it, so can you.
- Oh.

182
00:08:27,885 --> 00:08:30,619
And, uh, you're available immediately?

183
00:08:30,721 --> 00:08:33,355
I am. I do have one
question for you guys.

184
00:08:33,457 --> 00:08:37,225
Is everything here... cool?

185
00:08:38,829 --> 00:08:41,430
Is it cool? Uh, yeah.

186
00:08:41,532 --> 00:08:42,965
Yeah, I mean, I'm-- I'm cool.

187
00:08:43,067 --> 00:08:44,366
- Yeah, he is cool.
- Uh-huh.

188
00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:46,902
Clearly, but is there
anything you guys want

189
00:08:47,004 --> 00:08:49,037
to tell me... about the company?

190
00:08:50,274 --> 00:08:51,239
What, like, uh--

191
00:08:51,342 --> 00:08:52,741
All right, look, this is weird,

192
00:08:52,843 --> 00:08:55,377
but when I was in Laurie's
office yesterday,

193
00:08:55,479 --> 00:08:58,080
I saw a piece of paper on her desk.

194
00:08:58,182 --> 00:09:00,349
Well, she--
she can be a bit untidy.

195
00:09:00,451 --> 00:09:03,518
It was a sale of a big
block of Pied Piper stock.

196
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:04,820
Is someone on the inside

197
00:09:04,922 --> 00:09:06,722
dumping shares right
as you're launching?

198
00:09:06,747 --> 00:09:07,346
What?

199
00:09:07,424 --> 00:09:10,225
No. No, absolutely not.

200
00:09:10,327 --> 00:09:12,227
'Cause that would be a pretty
severe signaling risk.

201
00:09:12,329 --> 00:09:14,763
I mean, you don't have to be
in PR to know that insiders

202
00:09:14,865 --> 00:09:17,733
only dump stock like that when
they know something is wrong.

203
00:09:17,835 --> 00:09:19,634
The bulk of my compensation
here would be options,

204
00:09:19,737 --> 00:09:22,237
and if those aren't going
to be worth anything--

205
00:09:22,339 --> 00:09:24,473
Yeah. No. No, no, no.

206
00:09:24,575 --> 00:09:28,043
That is not happening, okay?
Nothing is going on here.

207
00:09:28,145 --> 00:09:31,480
- Yeah, except excellence.
- Okay.

208
00:09:31,582 --> 00:09:35,050
Well, you let me know
what you want to do

209
00:09:35,152 --> 00:09:37,252
and I'll think about it.

210
00:09:38,222 --> 00:09:40,555
Okay. Oh.

211
00:09:40,657 --> 00:09:42,090
Um, well, thanks for coming.

212
00:09:46,964 --> 00:09:48,363
What the hell was that?

213
00:09:48,465 --> 00:09:51,133
Maybe it was a negotiating tactic?

214
00:09:53,303 --> 00:09:54,436
Monica.

215
00:09:55,773 --> 00:09:56,705
It's Monica.

216
00:09:56,807 --> 00:09:58,306
Well, let's not jump to conclusions.

217
00:09:58,409 --> 00:10:01,410
I mean, she's the only one
who's bought a jacket.

218
00:10:01,512 --> 00:10:04,479
Jared, she's the only one
who hates the platform.

219
00:10:04,581 --> 00:10:08,250
There's no other explanation for this.
Okay? Monica fucked us.

220
00:10:08,352 --> 00:10:12,320
She pulled down her pants and
fucked us in front of her parents.

221
00:10:12,423 --> 00:10:15,991
Did some-- Richard, did
somebody do that to you?

222
00:10:16,093 --> 00:10:17,426
No. No, I don't know why--

223
00:10:19,663 --> 00:10:24,166
Oh, boy, it is chilly.

224
00:10:24,268 --> 00:10:27,502
Good thing I brought
this sweet jiz-acket.

225
00:10:27,604 --> 00:10:31,006
Eh, friend? We came here together.

226
00:10:32,876 --> 00:10:34,443
I know what you're doing.

227
00:10:35,779 --> 00:10:37,379
You think you're embarrassing me,

228
00:10:37,481 --> 00:10:40,248
but that's only the secondary
effect of that shitty jacket.

229
00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:42,250
The primary effect is...

230
00:10:42,352 --> 00:10:46,421
that you
look like a douchebag.

231
00:10:46,523 --> 00:10:48,323
Let me put this in terms
you'll understand.

232
00:10:48,425 --> 00:10:51,460
I'm like a suicide
bomber of humiliation.

233
00:10:51,562 --> 00:10:54,663
I'm happy to go out as long
as I take you with me.

234
00:10:54,765 --> 00:10:58,400
Your shame is my paradise.

235
00:11:00,838 --> 00:11:01,903
S'up, ladies?

236
00:11:02,005 --> 00:11:04,940
What you noshing on? Cranberry scone?

237
00:11:05,042 --> 00:11:10,078
My friend Dinesh here has a
little crush on you. He's shy.

238
00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:12,214
I don't know him.

239
00:11:12,316 --> 00:11:14,516
Oh, he plays coy.

240
00:11:14,618 --> 00:11:16,218
I don't know why he's so shy.

241
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,054
Excuse me. I noticed your jacket.

242
00:11:19,156 --> 00:11:20,322
Do you work for Pied Piper?

243
00:11:20,424 --> 00:11:23,191
- Yeah.
- Dude, your app is killin' it.

244
00:11:23,293 --> 00:11:24,860
Everyone I know is installing it.

245
00:11:24,962 --> 00:11:27,262
Do you seriously? I just
downloaded it last night.

246
00:11:27,364 --> 00:11:29,798
Yeah? Do you mind if we get a picture?

247
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:32,434
- With me?
- Yeah. Everybody get in.

248
00:11:32,536 --> 00:11:33,969
If you want it.

249
00:11:35,906 --> 00:11:37,139
- Thanks.
- Thanks, bro.

250
00:11:37,241 --> 00:11:39,941
Hey, man, did you remember
to put money in the meter?

251
00:11:40,043 --> 00:11:42,444
Hi, I'm Dinesh. I work at Pied Piper.

252
00:11:42,546 --> 00:11:45,080
Excuse me, do I know you?

253
00:11:45,182 --> 00:11:46,748
Gilfoyle.

254
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:49,384
He's a fuckin' dick, but
I love him, though.

255
00:11:49,486 --> 00:11:51,319
You have me confused with someone else.

256
00:11:51,421 --> 00:11:55,357
My name's clearly Jared, and if you
would excuse us, you were interrupting.

257
00:11:55,459 --> 00:11:58,693
No, he's lying. His name is Gilfoyle.
Show them your driver's license.

258
00:11:58,795 --> 00:12:00,629
Jared asked you nicely to step back,

259
00:12:00,731 --> 00:12:04,533
so step the fuck back. You're being
a dick, and you're cutting in line.

260
00:12:04,635 --> 00:12:07,035
You heard him. You're being a dick.

261
00:12:09,773 --> 00:12:11,873
- Boy, some people.
- What a creep.

262
00:12:11,975 --> 00:12:14,142
Sorry you had to
deal with that, Jared.

263
00:12:14,244 --> 00:12:16,211
You and me both, friend.

264
00:12:16,313 --> 00:12:18,346
This is Monica.

265
00:12:18,448 --> 00:12:20,382
Is it? Because apparently
everything else

266
00:12:20,484 --> 00:12:22,217
that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

267
00:12:22,319 --> 00:12:24,186
Shit.

268
00:12:24,288 --> 00:12:27,155
Look, Richard, I totally
understand if you're pissed at me,

269
00:12:27,257 --> 00:12:30,659
but please know that I tried as hard
as I could to get him to tell you.

270
00:12:30,761 --> 00:12:32,694
Oh, really? Well, that's
not what he said.

271
00:12:32,796 --> 00:12:34,629
Oh, really? What exactly did he say?

272
00:12:34,731 --> 00:12:37,599
He said that he found it on a piece
of paper in Laurie's office.

273
00:12:37,701 --> 00:12:41,903
What? Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Who's
the "he" that you're talking about?

274
00:12:42,005 --> 00:12:43,371
You know who. David.

275
00:12:43,473 --> 00:12:45,874
- My brother?
- What?

276
00:12:45,976 --> 00:12:47,976
Who the fuck-- I don't know.

277
00:12:48,078 --> 00:12:49,878
No, David, the fucking PR guy

278
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:52,013
who's not going to take a job
with us because of what you did.

279
00:12:52,115 --> 00:12:55,750
Richard, I am totally lost. What
exactly do you think I did?

280
00:12:55,852 --> 00:12:58,787
You can play dumb all you want to.
It won't change the one thing

281
00:12:58,889 --> 00:13:01,723
that both you and I know is true.
You dumped your stock.

282
00:13:01,825 --> 00:13:06,428
What? No. I didn't dump a single
share of my Pied Piper stock.

283
00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:08,797
I swear. Well, then who the fuck did?

284
00:13:08,899 --> 00:13:10,565
And make sure that the money reads.

285
00:13:10,667 --> 00:13:12,901
I mean, Pied Piper is a
billion-dollar company.

286
00:13:13,003 --> 00:13:14,202
It's not just a unicorn.

287
00:13:14,304 --> 00:13:16,304
All right, let's do some rearing.

288
00:13:16,406 --> 00:13:18,173
There we go. Now, let's let the horns

289
00:13:18,275 --> 00:13:22,177
sort of look like my dick. Perfect.

290
00:13:23,046 --> 00:13:26,381
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- Richard.

291
00:13:26,483 --> 00:13:28,783
Um, can we take a soft five?

292
00:13:28,885 --> 00:13:31,286
I was going to tell you. That's
what tomorrow's brunch was for.

293
00:13:31,388 --> 00:13:35,190
Brunch? You had ten fucking days
and you didn't say a thing.

294
00:13:35,292 --> 00:13:37,292
Fine. You want to know
why I didn't tell you?

295
00:13:37,394 --> 00:13:39,995
Because it's fucking humiliating.
I'm broke, Richard.

296
00:13:40,097 --> 00:13:42,831
Did you hear me? I'm broke.

297
00:13:42,933 --> 00:13:45,967
Erlich Bachman, the name that used
to be synonymous with success,

298
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:48,169
went broke and was forced to sell.

299
00:13:48,272 --> 00:13:50,605
- I got royally fucked, Richard.
- You got fucked?

300
00:13:50,707 --> 00:13:53,642
You're the one who threw
a million-dollar party.

301
00:13:53,744 --> 00:13:55,877
- Yeah, but it was a great party.
- No one forced you to do that.

302
00:13:55,979 --> 00:13:57,946
Admit it, you fucked yourself.

303
00:13:58,048 --> 00:13:59,748
But I'm not gonna let
you fuck my company.

304
00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:01,216
I'm going to have to
issue a press release

305
00:14:01,318 --> 00:14:02,784
explaining what you did and why.

306
00:14:02,886 --> 00:14:04,419
No, no, come on. This isn't out.

307
00:14:04,521 --> 00:14:07,255
- It's one PR guy.
- That we know of, Erlich.

308
00:14:07,357 --> 00:14:09,157
How many other people saw
that piece of paper?

309
00:14:09,259 --> 00:14:11,926
How many people has this guy talked to?

310
00:14:12,029 --> 00:14:13,094
This is Silicon Valley.

311
00:14:13,196 --> 00:14:15,597
Rumors spread like light speed here.

312
00:14:16,667 --> 00:14:19,434
How are we gonna get good
people to work for us

313
00:14:19,536 --> 00:14:21,936
if they think something funky
is going on with our stock?

314
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,106
How are we going to scale?
This is going to kill us.

315
00:14:25,208 --> 00:14:27,776
Richard, do you know what
happens if this goes public?

316
00:14:27,878 --> 00:14:29,778
- I'm Ron Wayne.
- Who?

317
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,349
Ron Wayne. The guy that owned ten
percent of Apple and sold it in 1976.

318
00:14:34,451 --> 00:14:36,518
No one in this town will
work with me ever again.

319
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:40,188
You want me to risk the
entire future of Pied Piper,

320
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:42,324
everything that I've worked for,

321
00:14:42,426 --> 00:14:47,295
just to protect you from your
own fucking incompetence?

322
00:14:47,397 --> 00:14:49,597
Richard, there's a three
to four percent chance

323
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:51,533
that this is going to
get out on its own,

324
00:14:51,635 --> 00:14:53,568
but there is 100 percent chance

325
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:55,503
that if you issue a press release

326
00:14:55,605 --> 00:14:57,939
no one will ever take
me seriously again.

327
00:14:58,041 --> 00:15:01,042
My dignity is in your hands, Richard.

328
00:15:01,945 --> 00:15:03,445
Do with it what you will.

329
00:15:11,021 --> 00:15:13,555
Gavin? Is that you?

330
00:15:13,657 --> 00:15:15,790
- Jack Barker.
- Nice plane.

331
00:15:15,892 --> 00:15:17,392
- Yours too.
- Where are you headed?

332
00:15:17,494 --> 00:15:19,861
I just needed to take a
walk and clear my head.

333
00:15:19,963 --> 00:15:22,897
There's this great little hiking
trail near my lodge in Jackson Hole.

334
00:15:22,999 --> 00:15:26,768
Get out of here. I'm on my
way up to J Hole myself.

335
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:28,737
Is that right? I thought you sold.

336
00:15:28,839 --> 00:15:30,572
No, I just never go there.

337
00:15:30,674 --> 00:15:32,073
So how long you going for?

338
00:15:32,175 --> 00:15:33,675
Coming back tomorrow afternoon.

339
00:15:33,777 --> 00:15:36,144
- Me, too.
- Oh, come on. Come on.

340
00:15:36,246 --> 00:15:41,216
Seriously, we need to find a couple
hours, get together, catch up.

341
00:15:41,318 --> 00:15:42,751
I could tell you some war stories.

342
00:15:42,853 --> 00:15:43,885
Well, I'd love that.

343
00:15:43,987 --> 00:15:45,186
I could tell you a few of my own.

344
00:15:45,288 --> 00:15:48,189
Well, be well.

345
00:15:48,291 --> 00:15:49,591
- You, too.
- Take care, Jack.

346
00:15:49,693 --> 00:15:51,359
- Yeah.
- See you.

347
00:15:52,329 --> 00:15:54,829
Gavin? Wait.

348
00:15:55,699 --> 00:15:58,133
Uh, what are we doing here?

349
00:15:58,235 --> 00:16:01,569
I mean, you're on your way to Jackson
Hole, I'm going to Jackson Hole.

350
00:16:01,671 --> 00:16:04,672
You seem like you could
use some company.

351
00:16:05,809 --> 00:16:07,642
- You play chess?
- I do. Indeed.

352
00:16:07,744 --> 00:16:10,845
Fantastic. I tell you,
when we get up to altitude

353
00:16:10,947 --> 00:16:16,050
and the Wi-Fi kicks in, I'm
ActionJB62 on Hooli chat.

354
00:16:16,153 --> 00:16:17,485
- Find me.
- I will.

355
00:16:17,587 --> 00:16:19,721
- I'm glad we bumped into each other.
- Me, too.

356
00:16:19,823 --> 00:16:22,190
- Really is a small world.
- It's crazy.

357
00:16:26,563 --> 00:16:29,330
Okay, well, uh, I think it reads well.

358
00:16:29,433 --> 00:16:33,001
And it's all in there. This will
definitely set the record straight.

359
00:16:33,103 --> 00:16:35,770
Then again, you're basically
lighting Erlich on fire.

360
00:16:35,872 --> 00:16:38,139
So what? He fucked the company.

361
00:16:38,241 --> 00:16:40,642
He potentially fucked the company.

362
00:16:40,744 --> 00:16:43,511
Are you kidding me? Wh--
Gilfoyle, back me up here.

363
00:16:43,613 --> 00:16:44,746
This is thorny.

364
00:16:44,848 --> 00:16:46,347
How is this even a
question for you guys?

365
00:16:46,450 --> 00:16:48,116
Honestly? I mean, it's
not like he's going

366
00:16:48,218 --> 00:16:50,218
to be out on the street.
He just sold ten percent

367
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,987
of a company that's valued at
at least 50 million dollars

368
00:16:53,089 --> 00:16:55,523
and now suddenly we're giving
him the benefit of the doubt?

369
00:16:55,625 --> 00:16:58,827
Well, it sounds mighty
Christian of you, Gilfoyle.

370
00:16:58,929 --> 00:17:01,229
There's no reason for
hate speech, Richard.

371
00:17:07,571 --> 00:17:10,839
I can see by the sour,
pinched expressions

372
00:17:10,941 --> 00:17:13,708
on all your faces that
Richard has filled you in

373
00:17:13,810 --> 00:17:16,511
regarding the unfortunate
circumstances that have forced me

374
00:17:16,613 --> 00:17:19,948
to relinquish my stake
in your fair company.

375
00:17:20,050 --> 00:17:24,819
Erlich, uh, you should know that
I have written a press release.

376
00:17:24,921 --> 00:17:27,021
- Oh?
- I'm not going to release it yet,

377
00:17:27,123 --> 00:17:29,457
but if I hear wind of these rumors

378
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:32,393
spreading out of control, I'm going
to send it to every tech publication

379
00:17:32,496 --> 00:17:35,330
and blog on the face of the earth.
Do you understand?

380
00:17:35,432 --> 00:17:37,799
- Even UPROXX?
- Yes, even them.

381
00:17:38,902 --> 00:17:39,968
Also, uh...

382
00:17:42,305 --> 00:17:46,407
this is the check for next month's
use of the house as our office,

383
00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:48,810
but we'll be out by
the end of the month.

384
00:17:48,912 --> 00:17:50,445
Richard, it doesn't
have to be like this.

385
00:17:50,547 --> 00:17:52,146
From this point forward,
you will have nothing

386
00:17:52,249 --> 00:17:54,148
to do with this company whatsoever.

387
00:17:54,251 --> 00:17:56,217
I'm replacing you on the board,

388
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:57,886
and I'm giving your seat to Jared.

389
00:17:59,289 --> 00:18:01,756
- So that's it then.
- Yes.

390
00:18:01,858 --> 00:18:04,225
So I guess we better get ready
for that "Vanity Fair" event.

391
00:18:04,327 --> 00:18:05,660
What?

392
00:18:07,264 --> 00:18:09,197
Did you not listen to
a word I just said?

393
00:18:09,299 --> 00:18:11,165
I heard thousands of words about rumors

394
00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:13,401
and the need to contain them.
What do you think would happen

395
00:18:13,503 --> 00:18:15,236
if I didn't show up to
this "Vanity Fair" event?

396
00:18:15,338 --> 00:18:17,472
I've already RSVP'd
and given them a list

397
00:18:17,574 --> 00:18:20,742
of phony dietary restrictions
just to cause a scene.

398
00:18:20,844 --> 00:18:22,744
I told them I was pesca-pescatarian.

399
00:18:22,846 --> 00:18:26,981
Which is one who eats solely
fish who eat other fish.

400
00:18:27,083 --> 00:18:29,183
I think my absence would be noted.

401
00:18:29,286 --> 00:18:31,252
- Erlich brings up a good point.
- It's true.

402
00:18:31,354 --> 00:18:33,087
Let us not forget
Meinertzhagen's Havers--

403
00:18:33,189 --> 00:18:34,989
Yes, yes, Meinertzhagen's Haversack.

404
00:18:35,091 --> 00:18:37,258
We all remember his sack.

405
00:18:38,328 --> 00:18:40,628
Okay, fine. Yeah.

406
00:18:40,730 --> 00:18:42,630
Sure. You can come. I can't stop you.

407
00:18:42,732 --> 00:18:45,700
Uh, I'll be taking the
car and the hotel room

408
00:18:45,802 --> 00:18:47,468
and you're going to
have to drive yourself.

409
00:18:47,571 --> 00:18:49,137
Consider it my farewell dinner.

410
00:18:50,106 --> 00:18:51,372
See you at the event.

411
00:18:59,983 --> 00:19:02,250
- Jared, are you okay?
- It's just so many emotions.

412
00:19:02,352 --> 00:19:05,453
The board seat. I feel regret and glee

413
00:19:05,555 --> 00:19:06,688
that you would choose to honor me,

414
00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:09,157
and terror at not living up

415
00:19:09,259 --> 00:19:10,692
to your expectations,

416
00:19:10,794 --> 00:19:13,161
and compassion for Erlich's loss.

417
00:19:13,263 --> 00:19:17,699
Oh, Donald, you've come undone.

418
00:19:17,801 --> 00:19:20,702
You still want him on the board?

419
00:19:23,740 --> 00:19:25,907
Hi, there. Checking in.
Richard Hendricks.

420
00:19:26,009 --> 00:19:27,175
Fuck me. Hey, Richie.

421
00:19:27,277 --> 00:19:28,743
Oh, God. Hey, Russ.

422
00:19:28,845 --> 00:19:30,278
What's up, boy genius? You here fucking?

423
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:32,614
Huh? No. No, no, no fucking.

424
00:19:32,716 --> 00:19:35,149
Just, uh, here for the
"Vanity Fair" dinner.

425
00:19:35,251 --> 00:19:36,451
Oh, yeah, I know that stupid dinner.

426
00:19:36,553 --> 00:19:38,453
Bunch of VC douchebags
jerking each other off.

427
00:19:38,555 --> 00:19:40,555
Speaking of, I got this girl at
the bar, I'm trying to take her

428
00:19:40,657 --> 00:19:42,624
up to the presidential suite
before her fucking bridesmaids

429
00:19:42,726 --> 00:19:45,259
ruin the whole thing, but
they're telling me it's booked.

430
00:19:45,362 --> 00:19:48,262
Who is it? Is it Gore? Fuck that guy.

431
00:19:48,365 --> 00:19:49,964
- Oh, God.
- I saw Pied Piper launched.

432
00:19:50,066 --> 00:19:51,399
Haven't tried it, probably won't.

433
00:19:51,501 --> 00:19:53,167
I don't even want to think
about how fucked I got

434
00:19:53,269 --> 00:19:55,370
missing out on Erlich's shares. Fuck.

435
00:19:55,472 --> 00:19:58,773
Wait, he-- he tried to
sell you his shares?

436
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:01,376
Well, half of them. He was pretty
desperate to stay on the team.

437
00:20:01,478 --> 00:20:03,511
Well, he didn't mention
anything about this to me.

438
00:20:03,613 --> 00:20:06,047
Of course not. Why would he? It's fucking
humiliating losing all your money.

439
00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:08,716
You think when I dropped below a billion
I walked around telling everybody?

440
00:20:08,818 --> 00:20:10,251
Fuck no. You guys were
the only ones who knew,

441
00:20:10,353 --> 00:20:11,786
and I actually thought
about having you killed.

442
00:20:11,888 --> 00:20:13,821
- I'm sorry, what?
- So Erlich and I, like two weeks ago,

443
00:20:13,923 --> 00:20:17,125
we had a contract ready... five mil I
was gonna pay him for half his shares.

444
00:20:17,227 --> 00:20:19,761
It was a win-win. Then
that robot, Laurie Bream,

445
00:20:19,863 --> 00:20:21,496
sweeps in and cockblocks
the whole thing.

446
00:20:21,598 --> 00:20:23,898
She forces him to sell her all
his shares. You think she's gay?

447
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,736
Maybe. It hasn't come up. I,
uh-- so wait, she outbid you?

448
00:20:28,838 --> 00:20:30,638
Outbid me? No, she didn't have to.

449
00:20:30,740 --> 00:20:32,907
You don't even know how your own
fucking company works?

450
00:20:33,009 --> 00:20:35,343
All right, Mr. Hendricks, we
have you staying one night

451
00:20:35,445 --> 00:20:37,345
- in a deluxe double.
- Okay, do you have a tub in that room?

452
00:20:37,447 --> 00:20:38,432
Does he have a tub in that room?

453
00:20:38,457 --> 00:20:39,871
I don't know. There's no way of telling.

454
00:20:39,949 --> 00:20:41,582
You know what? Fuck it. I'm
gonna take her to the "W."

455
00:20:41,685 --> 00:20:45,820
She's so drunk she won't know the
difference. See you around, Richie.

456
00:20:56,866 --> 00:20:59,467
Hey, it's CJ.
Listen, I'm hearing a rumor

457
00:20:59,569 --> 00:21:03,071
about some serious ugliness
going on at Pied Piper.

458
00:21:03,173 --> 00:21:06,507
I've heard it from three different
people now. You need to call me.

459
00:21:08,111 --> 00:21:10,311
Fuck.

460
00:21:10,413 --> 00:21:13,281
What in God's name is the
reason to get a higher education?

461
00:21:13,383 --> 00:21:15,216
You can just buy a
megafreeze for 35 cents.

462
00:21:15,318 --> 00:21:16,884
Laurie, can I talk to you for a second?

463
00:21:16,986 --> 00:21:18,519
Yes, uh, Richard Hendricks,

464
00:21:18,621 --> 00:21:20,221
- do you know Mark Pincus?
- Hello.

465
00:21:20,323 --> 00:21:22,623
- Big fan.
- Oh, okay. Yes.

466
00:21:22,726 --> 00:21:24,559
- Sorry, just one second.
- Yes. Oh, all right.

467
00:21:24,661 --> 00:21:29,097
I'm sorry to cut away like this.
We can continue discussing this.

468
00:21:31,501 --> 00:21:32,734
Okay, uh, look,

469
00:21:32,836 --> 00:21:35,603
I know Erlich sold you
all of his shares.

470
00:21:35,705 --> 00:21:38,773
I'm just, uh, wondering
exactly how that happened.

471
00:21:38,875 --> 00:21:40,908
Ah, yes. It was one of my finer moments.

472
00:21:41,010 --> 00:21:44,979
Erlich came to me with an outside offer
to sell half of his Pied Piper shares.

473
00:21:45,081 --> 00:21:48,015
To Russ Hanneman for five
million dollars. Yes, I know.

474
00:21:48,118 --> 00:21:51,252
But somehow you ended up
with all of his shares. How?

475
00:21:51,354 --> 00:21:54,822
Oh, well, as you know, the same
onerous terms you accepted

476
00:21:54,924 --> 00:21:56,557
when you took Russ Hanneman's money,

477
00:21:56,659 --> 00:21:58,359
they transferred to me
when I bought him out.

478
00:21:58,461 --> 00:22:00,428
These included the right to
block any transfer of stocks

479
00:22:00,530 --> 00:22:02,997
with a majority vote of the board.
A board which I control.

480
00:22:03,099 --> 00:22:06,367
- I don't understand.
- Of course you do.

481
00:22:06,469 --> 00:22:08,703
If I have approval of any buyer,

482
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:10,738
and I am the only buyer I approve,

483
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,707
then I can set my own price.

484
00:22:12,809 --> 00:22:16,778
So I asked Mr. Bachman for a thorough
accounting of his debts, uh,

485
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,547
which ran to approximately $713,000.

486
00:22:19,649 --> 00:22:21,415
And how much did you give him?

487
00:22:21,518 --> 00:22:23,551
$713,000.

488
00:22:24,454 --> 00:22:27,021
Jesus. So, he walked away with nothing.

489
00:22:27,123 --> 00:22:29,524
Uh, yes. And so as I said,

490
00:22:29,626 --> 00:22:31,292
you're the one who accepted these terms,

491
00:22:31,394 --> 00:22:33,261
so you're the one who enabled
this action on my part.

492
00:22:33,363 --> 00:22:35,463
All credit goes to you, Richard.
Excuse me.

493
00:22:35,565 --> 00:22:37,532
Dick. Dick Costolo. One moment.

494
00:22:37,634 --> 00:22:39,567
I need to speak with you.

495
00:22:44,507 --> 00:22:46,107
It's expensive to re-plant.

496
00:22:46,209 --> 00:22:49,544
No. The vines are bad. The soil is bad.

497
00:23:00,123 --> 00:23:02,256
Excuse me, what is that?

498
00:23:02,358 --> 00:23:03,758
That's pesca-pescatarian.

499
00:23:03,860 --> 00:23:06,994
- It's fish that--
- Actually, just bring me one of those.

500
00:23:07,096 --> 00:23:08,529
- Me, too.
- Yeah, waiter, I'll take on, too.

501
00:23:08,631 --> 00:23:10,865
- I want one.
- I want one of those also.

502
00:23:10,967 --> 00:23:13,100
Wait, hey, hey,
I'd like that also.

503
00:23:13,203 --> 00:23:14,869
Excuse me, if he's
having one, I want one.

504
00:23:14,971 --> 00:23:17,772
You're getting that,
I want it, too. Excuse me!

505
00:23:19,576 --> 00:23:22,643
Hey, I thought you were at the dinner.

506
00:23:22,745 --> 00:23:23,911
I left.

507
00:23:24,013 --> 00:23:26,514
Erlich never showed. Is he here?

508
00:23:26,616 --> 00:23:28,816
Yeah. He's hiding in the backyard.

509
00:23:28,918 --> 00:23:32,954
- Why?
- Have you not seen the article?

510
00:23:33,056 --> 00:23:34,088
No.

511
00:23:39,229 --> 00:23:42,263
"Is Erlich Bachman the
Dumbest Man in Tech?"

512
00:23:42,365 --> 00:23:45,032
What the hell is this? I
never sent anything out.

513
00:23:45,134 --> 00:23:47,535
- Who did they talk to?
- Erlich.

514
00:23:47,637 --> 00:23:51,072
This is CJ's blog. He outed
himself to protect Pied Piper.

515
00:23:51,174 --> 00:23:53,474
This is way harsher than
anything you ever wrote.

516
00:23:54,677 --> 00:23:56,510
Plus, there's the visual component.

517
00:23:56,613 --> 00:24:00,915
Speaking of... where's
your jacket, Jared?

518
00:24:05,989 --> 00:24:07,922
That's quite a piece.

519
00:24:09,092 --> 00:24:10,625
Informative. Thorough.

520
00:24:10,727 --> 00:24:14,195
You certainly know how
to make an impact.

521
00:24:14,297 --> 00:24:17,398
And I guess I don't have to worry
about any rumors coming out.

522
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:18,799
Those are handled.

523
00:24:21,237 --> 00:24:24,872
You know, Erlich, uh, Pied Piper
still needs a head of PR.

524
00:24:27,277 --> 00:24:30,111
You seem to be well-versed
in media outreach.

525
00:24:30,213 --> 00:24:32,179
And by your own admission
in that article,

526
00:24:32,282 --> 00:24:34,782
your head is--
what did you say?

527
00:24:34,884 --> 00:24:38,152
--so far up your own ass
you can see the future.

528
00:24:39,022 --> 00:24:40,054
And that could be useful...

529
00:24:40,156 --> 00:24:45,293
if we need a pre-cog...

530
00:24:45,395 --> 00:24:46,794
in a way?

531
00:24:46,896 --> 00:24:49,730
Uh, I don't know if
you're available, so...

532
00:24:49,832 --> 00:24:52,233
Are you offering me a job?

533
00:24:52,335 --> 00:24:54,068
Well, we have a good option package.

534
00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:59,006
Um, it won't be quite what
you had, but it's something.

535
00:25:00,643 --> 00:25:02,977
That's very generous.

536
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:05,579
So things could go back to
the way they were before.

537
00:25:05,682 --> 00:25:08,649
Well, no. No. Not exactly
the way they were.

538
00:25:08,751 --> 00:25:11,218
No, no. Uh, well, this
would be an actual job

539
00:25:11,321 --> 00:25:13,287
and you would have responsibilities.

540
00:25:13,389 --> 00:25:15,890
Would this job have a title?

541
00:25:15,992 --> 00:25:19,961
Something, say, Chief
Evangelism Officer?

542
00:25:20,063 --> 00:25:21,529
So, CEO?

543
00:25:21,631 --> 00:25:24,332
- Oh, my goodness!
- What the fuck was that?

544
00:25:26,069 --> 00:25:27,268
Richard.

545
00:25:27,370 --> 00:25:30,104
The Pied Piper app just got
accepted to the Hooli store.

546
00:25:30,206 --> 00:25:32,640
What? Holy shit.

547
00:25:32,742 --> 00:25:37,678
Gavin Belson just presented us with
his bare buttocks in submission.

548
00:25:37,780 --> 00:25:40,081
We beat him. I
don't-- I don't hug. No.

549
00:25:40,183 --> 00:25:44,318
Um, okay, hey, look, uh, time to issue
your first press release, right?

550
00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:47,621
It's very late, Richard,
and I'm very high.

551
00:25:47,724 --> 00:25:48,889
Erlich, I don't care.

552
00:25:48,992 --> 00:25:50,825
You have to do it, okay? Now.

553
00:25:50,927 --> 00:25:53,294
- It's your job.
- Okay.

554
00:25:53,396 --> 00:25:56,063
- All right.
- Oh!

555
00:25:59,702 --> 00:26:01,435
CJ Cantwell. Erlich Bachman.

556
00:26:01,537 --> 00:26:04,105
The reason I'm calling has
absolutely nothing to do

557
00:26:04,207 --> 00:26:07,541
whatsoever with the fact
that I own half of your blog

558
00:26:07,643 --> 00:26:09,443
and everything to do with the fact that

559
00:26:09,545 --> 00:26:13,748
I was just named Chief Evangelism
Officer of Pied Piper.

560
00:26:13,850 --> 00:26:17,551
Feel free to abbreviate that,
whatever acronym is most economical.

561
00:26:17,653 --> 00:26:18,620
And I have a story.

562
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:21,546
Well, if it's anything like
this last one, I am all for it.

563
00:26:21,624 --> 00:26:24,125
I am getting so many paid
views on your tell-all.

564
00:26:24,227 --> 00:26:26,327
Everyone in the Valley is reading it.

565
00:26:26,429 --> 00:26:29,530
Well, that's good... for you...

566
00:26:29,632 --> 00:26:31,399
at my expense, I guess.

567
00:26:32,702 --> 00:26:34,135
Anyway, I had no choice.

568
00:26:34,237 --> 00:26:36,103
As you said, it was going to
come out one way or another.

569
00:26:36,205 --> 00:26:38,506
Why? No one knew about any
of it until you told me.

570
00:26:38,608 --> 00:26:41,409
What do you mean? You said that you
had heard from a bunch of people

571
00:26:41,511 --> 00:26:44,712
that there are all these rumors about
ugly shit going down at Pied Piper.

572
00:26:44,814 --> 00:26:47,348
That's literally the only reason
that I told you any of this.

573
00:26:47,450 --> 00:26:51,919
What? Oh, yeah, three
different people told me

574
00:26:52,021 --> 00:26:54,355
that Pied Piper had the ugliest
jackets they'd ever seen.

575
00:26:54,457 --> 00:26:55,266
Jackets?

576
00:26:55,290 --> 00:26:57,715
I was going to do, like, a whole
swag fail thing, you know.

577
00:26:57,794 --> 00:26:59,393
That could have been cool, no?

578
00:26:59,495 --> 00:27:01,662
Who the fuck cares about jackets?
