1
00:00:00,669 --> 00:00:01,664
Richard...

2
00:00:02,106 --> 00:00:04,839
Do you think if I asked
they would let me visit her?

3
00:00:04,942 --> 00:00:06,508
Jared, she's going to be okay.

4
00:00:06,778 --> 00:00:08,010
I promise.

5
00:00:12,348 --> 00:00:13,480
The brilliant little idiot.

6
00:00:13,582 --> 00:00:15,149
He found a way around the patent.

7
00:00:15,251 --> 00:00:17,366
It's Hendricks' Internet, but
it's not Hendricks' Internet.

8
00:00:17,421 --> 00:00:19,910
I will no longer be able
to manufacture your boxes.

9
00:00:20,170 --> 00:00:23,471
You see, my company will be
manufacturing a new device

10
00:00:23,573 --> 00:00:25,906
that will quickly render yours obsolete.

11
00:00:27,914 --> 00:00:30,348
Did you speak to Laurie about our series B?

12
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:31,612
Sort of.

13
00:00:32,779 --> 00:00:34,645
Nothing is personal with Laurie, alright?

14
00:00:34,747 --> 00:00:36,281
It's what makes her such a great VC.

15
00:00:36,382 --> 00:00:38,892
A term sheet for your series B.

16
00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:40,361
Congratulations, Richard.

17
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:41,985
Thank you.

18
00:00:51,324 --> 00:00:53,691
Wow. That is one expensive bottle.

19
00:00:53,726 --> 00:00:54,926
You guys deserve the best

20
00:00:54,961 --> 00:00:56,327
bottle of champagne they have.

21
00:00:56,362 --> 00:00:58,598
Yeah, all champagne
tastes the same to me, so.

22
00:00:58,832 --> 00:01:00,297
I agree, I mean, what's the difference

23
00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:02,513
between good champagne and bad champagne?

24
00:01:02,514 --> 00:01:04,012
About $500.

25
00:01:04,047 --> 00:01:05,681
Guys, come on. Enjoy it.

26
00:01:05,716 --> 00:01:08,317
You're about to close
a $30 million series B.

27
00:01:08,352 --> 00:01:10,118
And you don't have to sell any ads

28
00:01:10,154 --> 00:01:11,420
or harvest user data,

29
00:01:11,455 --> 00:01:13,054
which for any other VC in town

30
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:14,390
would've been a non-starter.

31
00:01:14,425 --> 00:01:16,521
Frankly, I'm surprised
that Laurie went for it.

32
00:01:16,747 --> 00:01:18,247
Well, I'm not wild about the idea

33
00:01:18,283 --> 00:01:20,319
of her having two more board seats.

34
00:01:20,554 --> 00:01:23,688
I mean, she did kill
Fiona right in front of us.

35
00:01:23,724 --> 00:01:25,757
Listen, don't worry about Laurie, okay?

36
00:01:25,792 --> 00:01:27,225
I'm gonna be your point person on this.

37
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:29,761
She's got her plate full.
She's raising money to recover

38
00:01:29,796 --> 00:01:31,136
from the whole Eklow debacle.

39
00:01:31,295 --> 00:01:32,227
Okay.

40
00:01:32,252 --> 00:01:34,251
So... to you guys.

41
00:01:34,816 --> 00:01:35,899
All right.

42
00:01:35,934 --> 00:01:37,133
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

43
00:01:37,169 --> 00:01:38,268
Yup, thanks.

44
00:01:43,108 --> 00:01:44,975
All right. I have a dinner meeting

45
00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:46,844
and I kind of feel like a fifth wheel,

46
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:49,931
so I'm gonna pick up the
check, leave you to celebrate.

47
00:01:50,048 --> 00:01:51,375
- Congrats again, guys.
- Okay.

48
00:01:52,284 --> 00:01:53,311
Bye.

49
00:01:57,757 --> 00:02:00,190
Well, the only person we don't spend

50
00:02:00,225 --> 00:02:02,074
20 hours a day with just left.

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,067
So.

52
00:02:05,034 --> 00:02:06,634
What's new with you guys?

53
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:12,602
Well, I'm thinking of buying
some new bookkeeping software.

54
00:02:12,637 --> 00:02:15,171
All right. I think the
only actual way to celebrate

55
00:02:15,207 --> 00:02:17,607
is to spend one waking minute apart, so.

56
00:02:17,642 --> 00:02:18,641
I'm gonna go.

57
00:02:18,676 --> 00:02:20,643
Are you going home?
Let's... let's share an Uber.

58
00:02:20,678 --> 00:02:22,078
Oh, well, if you're going that direction,

59
00:02:22,114 --> 00:02:23,513
I'm... I'm driving, so I could drop you.

60
00:02:23,548 --> 00:02:24,815
Hey, Gilfoyle. Wanna play Fortnite?

61
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,536
Oh, hold on, I didn't know
we were playing Fortnite.

62
00:02:26,536 --> 00:02:27,753
Yeah, I'll come along.

63

Synced and corrected by louvette

64
00:02:43,902 --> 00:02:46,323
I would've taken that
plate to the sink for you.

65
00:02:46,604 --> 00:02:48,844
Uh, it's okay. I just finished, so.

66
00:02:49,007 --> 00:02:51,107
How was the sandwich I
made you? Was it good?

67
00:02:51,142 --> 00:02:52,525
Good condiment blend?

68
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:54,277
Yeah. It was perfect, thanks.

69
00:02:54,312 --> 00:02:55,444
Richard.

70
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,146
This might be out of line, but...

71
00:02:57,314 --> 00:03:00,202
would you mind telling Jared how
much you enjoyed the sandwich?

72
00:03:00,318 --> 00:03:02,118
I'm finding him a little intimidating.

73
00:03:02,153 --> 00:03:05,154
Sure, yeah. Look, I know he
can be a little eccentric.

74
00:03:05,189 --> 00:03:06,923
I tend to hold my breath around him.

75
00:03:06,958 --> 00:03:08,624
It's exacerbating my asthma.

76
00:03:09,198 --> 00:03:10,558
Ooh, okay...

77
00:03:10,884 --> 00:03:12,708
Richard, do you have a moment?

78
00:03:16,188 --> 00:03:17,305
You know what?

79
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:20,682
Holden just made me a really good sandwich.

80
00:03:21,027 --> 00:03:23,175
Oh, well, that's nice.

81
00:03:23,563 --> 00:03:24,595
Yeah. Yep.

82
00:03:27,901 --> 00:03:30,774
Did he ask you to mention that to me?

83
00:03:31,967 --> 00:03:33,226
What? No.

84
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,500
- Okay.
- No, he's... he's just great.

85
00:03:37,944 --> 00:03:40,210
Well, "In doing what we
ought, we deserve no praise"

86
00:03:40,246 --> 00:03:41,542
because it is our duty."

87
00:03:41,729 --> 00:03:42,807
St. Augustine.

88
00:03:43,772 --> 00:03:45,004
So, um...

89
00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:47,017
I've been keeping track
of the compute credits

90
00:03:47,052 --> 00:03:48,251
that you gave to Laurie.

91
00:03:48,286 --> 00:03:50,086
And she sold them to Gigglybots

92
00:03:50,121 --> 00:03:52,368
and then Gigglybots sold them to SmashHub.

93
00:03:52,624 --> 00:03:54,390
And they traded hands a few more times,

94
00:03:54,426 --> 00:03:56,693
the price increasing
each time until they were

95
00:03:56,728 --> 00:03:59,005
bought by a venture fund in Mountain View.

96
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:01,531
Okay, uh, so if we wanted to buy them back,

97
00:04:01,556 --> 00:04:02,955
how much would it cost us?

98
00:04:03,234 --> 00:04:05,669
It's $1.6 million.

99
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:07,571
- What?
- The fuck?

100
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:11,842
- More like that?
- Yeah.

101
00:04:11,955 --> 00:04:13,555
So Dinesh, is it true?

102
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:14,844
Is series B happening?

103
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,998
We all heard it's happening.

104
00:04:16,172 --> 00:04:18,448
Oh, guys, please, you
know I can't talk to you

105
00:04:18,483 --> 00:04:20,015
about upper level management stuff.

106
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:22,185
It's totally happening. Look at his face.

107
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:23,474
He has the worst poker face.

108
00:04:23,499 --> 00:04:25,555
No. Don't... Don't look at my face.

109
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:28,462
This is great news. We're
all getting big, fat bonuses.

110
00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:31,327
I was a little worried I made
a mistake ordering that Tesla.

111
00:04:32,144 --> 00:04:33,629
Sorry, Tesla? What Tesla?

112
00:04:33,664 --> 00:04:35,526
Model S. Same as yours.

113
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:38,964
I mean, not exactly the
same. I ordered the P100D.

114
00:04:38,989 --> 00:04:40,035
Newer model.

115
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:41,337
It's got longer battery life...

116
00:04:41,372 --> 00:04:43,139
You know what? This is a workplace.

117
00:04:43,174 --> 00:04:45,641
This is not a fucking slumber
party, gabbing, gabbing.

118
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:47,577
And series B is not a done deal.

119
00:04:47,612 --> 00:04:50,062
Despite what my face says, okay?

120
00:04:50,087 --> 00:04:51,249
Don't trust this face.

121
00:04:51,274 --> 00:04:53,231
No one should ever trust this face.

122
00:04:54,384 --> 00:04:55,955
Congrats on the Tesla, Danny.

123
00:04:56,153 --> 00:04:57,371
So excited for you.

124
00:04:59,044 --> 00:05:00,709
Series B, baby!

125
00:05:00,837 --> 00:05:02,003
Fuck Danny.

126
00:05:02,272 --> 00:05:03,839
I mean, I love my Tesla.

127
00:05:03,864 --> 00:05:04,927
It has Insane Mode,

128
00:05:04,962 --> 00:05:08,731
which means it goes zero
to 60 in 3.2 seconds,

129
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:10,465
which is literally insane.

130
00:05:10,501 --> 00:05:14,136
But the Tesla that Danny
ordered has Ludicrous Mode,

131
00:05:14,171 --> 00:05:17,673
which means it goes zero
to 60 in 2.8 seconds.

132
00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:19,559
So it's gonna take me an entire

133
00:05:19,584 --> 00:05:21,934
0.4 seconds longer to get to 60.

134
00:05:22,794 --> 00:05:24,661
I mean, how would you feel
if one of your neighbors

135
00:05:24,696 --> 00:05:26,407
got a tiki head bigger than yours?

136
00:05:27,398 --> 00:05:29,933
Oh, well, when we bought it,

137
00:05:29,968 --> 00:05:32,392
we made sure it was the
biggest one they made, so.

138
00:05:32,417 --> 00:05:34,925
You're the biggest tiki
head guy in the neighborhood.

139
00:05:35,907 --> 00:05:38,021
I used to be the Tesla guy in the office.

140
00:05:38,242 --> 00:05:41,143
I maxed out my credit cards to
be able to afford that thing.

141
00:05:41,179 --> 00:05:42,706
And now that we're getting series B,

142
00:05:42,732 --> 00:05:45,815
any one of these bourgeois
new money millennial fucks

143
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:47,412
can just go out and buy one.

144
00:05:48,104 --> 00:05:49,804
I don't wanna sound selfish,

145
00:05:49,838 --> 00:05:53,319
but sometimes I wish only
I made money. You know?

146
00:05:53,975 --> 00:05:55,167
What are we talking about, here?

147
00:05:55,192 --> 00:05:57,568
You want us to launch a cryptocurrency?

148
00:05:57,568 --> 00:05:58,667
I do.

149
00:05:58,702 --> 00:06:00,835
The fact that people are willing
to pay many multiples more

150
00:06:00,871 --> 00:06:02,837
for our compute credits than they're worth,

151
00:06:02,873 --> 00:06:04,465
we have an opportunity here.

152
00:06:04,908 --> 00:06:06,307
Worth is relative, Richard.

153
00:06:06,471 --> 00:06:07,508
What do you mean?

154
00:06:07,713 --> 00:06:09,377
Why do people covet

155
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:12,981
the silly pieces of green
cotton paper in their wallets?

156
00:06:13,016 --> 00:06:15,462
It's because we are all sheep.

157
00:06:15,858 --> 00:06:18,743
And we've mutually agreed
to endow certain things

158
00:06:18,768 --> 00:06:19,906
with value.

159
00:06:20,262 --> 00:06:22,569
And right now, for some reason,

160
00:06:22,697 --> 00:06:26,133
the market values our
credits more than we did.

161
00:06:26,168 --> 00:06:28,001
Gilfoyle, we're not gonna suddenly pivot

162
00:06:28,036 --> 00:06:29,684
and become a digital currency company.

163
00:06:29,684 --> 00:06:31,037
I'm not proposing a pivot.

164
00:06:31,073 --> 00:06:33,301
I'm proposing that we sell digital currency

165
00:06:33,301 --> 00:06:36,001
as a way to finance our
new Internet company.

166
00:06:36,404 --> 00:06:39,143
You wanted an alternative to Laurie Bream.

167
00:06:39,941 --> 00:06:41,450
Well, it's right here in front of you.

168
00:06:41,809 --> 00:06:43,742
PiedPiperCoin.

169
00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:45,202
Okay, look, I...

170
00:06:45,951 --> 00:06:48,018
I'm not gonna bet the entire future

171
00:06:48,054 --> 00:06:50,997
of my new Internet and
everything I've worked for

172
00:06:51,224 --> 00:06:53,324
on becoming the next Bitcoin.

173
00:06:53,618 --> 00:06:55,269
You really expect me to do that?

174
00:06:55,395 --> 00:06:56,783
There are very few things

175
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:59,629
that I will defend with true passion:

176
00:06:59,666 --> 00:07:01,047
medical marijuana,

177
00:07:01,267 --> 00:07:05,015
the biblical Satan as a metaphor
for rebellion against tyranny,

178
00:07:05,905 --> 00:07:08,533
and mother fucking Goddamn cryptocurrency.

179
00:07:09,607 --> 00:07:10,540
Mmm.

180
00:07:10,576 --> 00:07:13,809
I have a PowerPoint that I've been
wanting to show you for some time.

181
00:07:15,447 --> 00:07:16,714
Walk me through this.

182
00:07:16,918 --> 00:07:18,448
We can't make our boxes in China

183
00:07:18,483 --> 00:07:19,616
because Yao has threatened

184
00:07:19,651 --> 00:07:21,318
every manufacturer in the country.

185
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:23,440
- That's right.
- We can't afford Bangladesh,

186
00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:25,422
because the workers have unionized.

187
00:07:25,457 --> 00:07:27,290
Sadly, correct.

188
00:07:27,326 --> 00:07:28,992
And we can't use our place in Laos,

189
00:07:29,028 --> 00:07:31,795
because one person gets
her scalp ripped off

190
00:07:31,831 --> 00:07:34,569
and suddenly, everyone's
screaming regulations.

191
00:07:34,594 --> 00:07:35,532
Yes.

192
00:07:35,710 --> 00:07:37,244
You know, you hear a lot of chatter

193
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:39,015
about the growth of the global economy,

194
00:07:39,015 --> 00:07:40,914
but no one wants to
talk about the downside.

195
00:07:40,949 --> 00:07:42,776
Gavin, there is one other

196
00:07:42,801 --> 00:07:45,051
manufacturing option we
haven't discussed yet,

197
00:07:45,087 --> 00:07:47,453
which considering the
current circumstances,

198
00:07:47,488 --> 00:07:49,455
might be worth consideration.

199
00:07:50,016 --> 00:07:51,568
I'm open to anything.

200
00:07:53,097 --> 00:07:54,096
America.

201
00:07:54,318 --> 00:07:55,432
Fuck you.

202
00:07:55,650 --> 00:07:56,783
I feel the same way.

203
00:07:57,351 --> 00:07:58,918
But we were recently contacted

204
00:07:58,953 --> 00:08:01,187
by the mayor of Goldbriar, North Carolina.

205
00:08:01,222 --> 00:08:03,589
They had a DVR manufacturing
plant that closed.

206
00:08:03,624 --> 00:08:05,286
The retooling would be minimal.

207
00:08:05,426 --> 00:08:06,759
They've got a skilled labor pool

208
00:08:06,795 --> 00:08:09,344
just sitting idle and they sound desperate.

209
00:08:09,497 --> 00:08:10,481
Really?

210
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:12,265
How desperate?

211
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:13,396
It was pitiful.

212
00:08:13,725 --> 00:08:14,739
Really?

213
00:08:15,803 --> 00:08:18,970
In 350 BCE,

214
00:08:19,006 --> 00:08:22,342
Aristotle defined sound money as being

215
00:08:22,342 --> 00:08:24,008
durable, transferable,

216
00:08:24,084 --> 00:08:26,418
divisible, scarce, recognizable...

217
00:08:26,454 --> 00:08:27,899
- Gilfoyle?
- And fungible.

218
00:08:28,212 --> 00:08:29,154
What?

219
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:31,457
Can we skip ahead 2,400 years?

220
00:08:31,492 --> 00:08:33,619
I mean, I know what cryptocurrency is.

221
00:08:34,194 --> 00:08:36,716
Richard, a lot of work
went into this presentation.

222
00:08:36,964 --> 00:08:38,393
- Okay.
- Fine.

223
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:43,117
But you're missing out
on a lot of wisdom, here.

224
00:08:45,506 --> 00:08:47,505
Why don't you tell me what you know

225
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:49,843
about Bitcoin as a jumping-off point?

226
00:08:49,843 --> 00:08:50,991
Okay, sure.

227
00:08:50,992 --> 00:08:54,632
Uh, well, I'm pretty sure it
was founded by a Japanese guy...

228
00:08:54,726 --> 00:08:56,529
Or guys, or girls,

229
00:08:56,554 --> 00:08:59,532
going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.

230
00:08:59,802 --> 00:09:01,135
True identity still unknown.

231
00:09:01,171 --> 00:09:03,638
Okay, look, every day I read an article

232
00:09:03,673 --> 00:09:05,973
about how we're in a Bitcoin bubble.

233
00:09:06,102 --> 00:09:07,937
And who is writing those articles?

234
00:09:08,501 --> 00:09:10,110
I don't wanna say the establishment.

235
00:09:10,146 --> 00:09:12,513
But is it possible that Warren Buffett

236
00:09:12,549 --> 00:09:15,049
called Bitcoin a pyramid scheme

237
00:09:15,084 --> 00:09:19,068
because he has 92 billion
conventional dollars to protect?

238
00:09:19,468 --> 00:09:22,358
Let's say he's right.
Let's say Bitcoin dies.

239
00:09:22,358 --> 00:09:25,067
So what? MySpace,
Friendster, they both died.

240
00:09:25,494 --> 00:09:28,228
But they paved the way for
other social media tripe

241
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:30,063
like Facebook and Twitter

242
00:09:30,098 --> 00:09:32,464
to completely overrun the planet.

243
00:09:33,636 --> 00:09:35,923
Crypto is out there.

244
00:09:36,038 --> 00:09:37,705
And it's not going away.

245
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:39,973
It just feels sketchy.

246
00:09:40,447 --> 00:09:42,977
In the same way that a new Internet

247
00:09:43,368 --> 00:09:44,765
is sketchy, Richard?

248
00:09:45,065 --> 00:09:47,017
- Well...
- What is crypto?

249
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:49,876
If not decentralized, anonymous, secure,

250
00:09:50,144 --> 00:09:52,857
and an existential threat
to the powers that be?

251
00:09:53,381 --> 00:09:55,615
I would think that you'd be
all-in on something like that.

252
00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:59,184
Yeah. But do you really
think we can create a currency

253
00:09:59,219 --> 00:10:00,686
worth $30 million?

254
00:10:00,721 --> 00:10:02,123
Because that's what we'd be giving up.

255
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:04,436
Maybe. Probably even more.

256
00:10:04,959 --> 00:10:06,559
But even if it's less,

257
00:10:07,362 --> 00:10:10,412
we would still gain control, autonomy,

258
00:10:10,412 --> 00:10:11,731
board seats and shares,

259
00:10:11,766 --> 00:10:15,446
and you wouldn't have to rely
on a VC who once fired you

260
00:10:16,003 --> 00:10:17,369
from your own company.

261
00:10:19,974 --> 00:10:21,240
So, there is a mode

262
00:10:21,275 --> 00:10:23,676
above Ludicrous Mode. Am I correct?

263
00:10:23,712 --> 00:10:25,745
Yes. It's called Plaid.

264
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:28,381
And it comes standard on
the new Tesla Roadster.

265
00:10:28,416 --> 00:10:29,782
How do I get into one of these babies?

266
00:10:30,007 --> 00:10:33,452
Simple. You put down a
$50,000 deposit today.

267
00:10:33,741 --> 00:10:35,208
Okay.

268
00:10:35,243 --> 00:10:36,809
And you'll be behind the wheel

269
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:38,344
as soon as they become available.

270
00:10:38,379 --> 00:10:40,518
And how quickly will that be, Stephanie?

271
00:10:40,518 --> 00:10:42,751
Soon. We're thinking a few years,

272
00:10:42,787 --> 00:10:44,236
which goes by fast.

273
00:10:44,422 --> 00:10:46,355
My daughter was a teenager in high school.

274
00:10:46,391 --> 00:10:48,457
- Next thing I knew...
- I'm gonna stop you right there.

275
00:10:48,492 --> 00:10:51,727
Your oily salesmanship is
starting to really irritate me.

276
00:10:51,917 --> 00:10:52,895
Okay?

277
00:10:52,931 --> 00:10:55,431
I need to maintain my Tesla superiority,

278
00:10:55,466 --> 00:10:56,765
and I need to do it now.

279
00:10:57,255 --> 00:10:59,136
Okay, I'm looking at a
new set of wheels here.

280
00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:00,673
The 21-inch Arachnids.

281
00:11:00,805 --> 00:11:03,572
Very nice. But they're not for sale.

282
00:11:03,807 --> 00:11:06,441
You can only get them through
our referral awards program.

283
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:08,363
You refer three other customers to us,

284
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:11,600
they buy a vehicle and,
zoop-zoop, you get the wheels.

285
00:11:11,835 --> 00:11:14,669
So, if I get more people to buy Teslas,

286
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:18,088
then I will have the wheels
and no one else can get them?

287
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,678
Not even Danny?

288
00:11:19,713 --> 00:11:21,082
I'm sorry, who's Danny?

289
00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:23,515
He's the guy with the shitty wheels.

290
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:26,604
And now, the CEO of Hooli,

291
00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:28,553
Mr. Gavin Belson.

292
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,711
Thank you, Mayor Wilkins.

293
00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:37,920
Thank you, Goldbriar, for
this warm, wonderful welcome.

294
00:11:38,427 --> 00:11:40,293
You know, being in North Carolina

295
00:11:40,329 --> 00:11:42,952
always feels like a bit
of a homecoming for me.

296
00:11:43,232 --> 00:11:46,432
I own a vacation property
just off the coast in Bermuda.

297
00:11:47,469 --> 00:11:50,170
Technically, it is my
primary legal residence.

298
00:11:52,742 --> 00:11:54,218
Good people of Goldbriar,

299
00:11:54,544 --> 00:11:56,810
for too long, foreign interests

300
00:11:56,846 --> 00:11:59,456
have used unfair trade and labor practices

301
00:11:59,815 --> 00:12:03,083
to plunder American wealth
and steal American jobs.

302
00:12:03,383 --> 00:12:04,783
But I don't blame them for that.

303
00:12:04,819 --> 00:12:07,594
No. I blame weak, spineless

304
00:12:07,699 --> 00:12:09,281
American politicians.

305
00:12:09,856 --> 00:12:11,587
But if your mayor does his job,

306
00:12:11,587 --> 00:12:13,063
your jobs will come back,

307
00:12:13,063 --> 00:12:15,697
and soon, you will proudly be building

308
00:12:15,733 --> 00:12:18,550
the Gavin Belson Signature Box Three.

309
00:12:19,169 --> 00:12:21,236
But if for some reason

310
00:12:21,271 --> 00:12:24,578
he can't make my very
reasonable proposal work,

311
00:12:25,025 --> 00:12:26,324
you know who to blame.

312
00:12:27,193 --> 00:12:28,943
I'm excited to get started.

313
00:12:29,496 --> 00:12:31,630
What about y'all?

314
00:12:52,819 --> 00:12:54,288
- Hi, Holden.
- Oh.

315
00:12:56,702 --> 00:12:59,063
Jared. Hi.

316
00:12:59,447 --> 00:13:00,546
Hi.

317
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,845
Can I ask you a question?

318
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,526
Of course.

319
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:07,350
Did you ask Richard to tell me

320
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:10,222
that he liked the sandwich
that you made for him?

321
00:13:12,049 --> 00:13:13,082
No.

322
00:13:17,562 --> 00:13:18,794
Is that the truth?

323
00:13:19,764 --> 00:13:20,830
Yes.

324
00:13:24,817 --> 00:13:26,049
Okay.

325
00:13:28,012 --> 00:13:29,111
Okay.

326
00:13:31,242 --> 00:13:32,615
Good job with that plate.

327
00:13:34,345 --> 00:13:35,406
Thanks.

328
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:47,952
Now, I can see the looks on your faces.

329
00:13:48,125 --> 00:13:49,471
I know what you're thinking.

330
00:13:49,727 --> 00:13:53,227
Why does Dinesh care so
much if I buy a Tesla?

331
00:13:53,538 --> 00:13:54,763
I'll tell you why.

332
00:13:54,798 --> 00:13:57,465
Because Teslas are good for the world.

333
00:13:57,744 --> 00:14:00,035
Surprisingly pedestrian
wheels, but you get over that.

334
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:01,558
So, come on.

335
00:14:01,558 --> 00:14:03,686
Series B, right? Cha-ching.

336
00:14:03,711 --> 00:14:05,944
I was gonna use that to
pay off my student loans.

337
00:14:05,969 --> 00:14:06,917
That's boring.

338
00:14:06,953 --> 00:14:08,686
And don't take this the wrong way,

339
00:14:08,721 --> 00:14:10,821
but it seems like it's very important

340
00:14:10,857 --> 00:14:12,663
for you to be the Tesla guy in the office.

341
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,928
Like, weirdly important.

342
00:14:15,075 --> 00:14:17,828
I'm not weird, you're weird.
You guys are being so weird.

343
00:14:17,864 --> 00:14:21,120
Come on. What's it gonna take
to get you into a Tesla today?

344
00:14:21,729 --> 00:14:24,502
Here. I've printed out hundreds of these.

345
00:14:24,502 --> 00:14:26,902
There you go. There you go, pass these on.

346
00:14:26,938 --> 00:14:28,133
Dave? Dave?

347
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:31,974
All right, what's this interesting idea?

348
00:14:32,009 --> 00:14:33,609
Gilfoyle and I were talking.

349
00:14:33,644 --> 00:14:37,321
And this may seem a little
out there at first, but...

350
00:14:37,682 --> 00:14:41,048
Instead of funding our
launch with a series B,

351
00:14:41,719 --> 00:14:42,888
what about...

352
00:14:43,888 --> 00:14:44,954
an ICO?

353
00:14:47,044 --> 00:14:49,324
An initial coin offering?
It's basically a...

354
00:14:49,359 --> 00:14:51,293
Are you a fucking moron?

355
00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:55,030
Maybe I don't need to be here for this.

356
00:14:55,066 --> 00:14:56,398
Sit the fuck down.

357
00:14:56,433 --> 00:14:57,434
Okay.

358
00:14:58,469 --> 00:15:00,568
Richard, what are you doing?

359
00:15:00,604 --> 00:15:02,503
Just exploring our options.

360
00:15:02,538 --> 00:15:04,629
Why? You don't think I have your back?

361
00:15:04,774 --> 00:15:06,641
Look, I get that you're giving up

362
00:15:06,676 --> 00:15:07,842
board seats and shares,

363
00:15:07,877 --> 00:15:09,777
but look what you're getting in return.

364
00:15:09,813 --> 00:15:12,947
As if the $30 million you were
getting wasn't good enough,

365
00:15:12,983 --> 00:15:15,449
we provide you with marketing,
networking, staffing.

366
00:15:15,485 --> 00:15:17,384
We help you negotiate partnerships

367
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:18,660
and navigate regulations.

368
00:15:18,685 --> 00:15:21,556
All these things that are
changing by the minute.

369
00:15:21,741 --> 00:15:23,826
Gilfoyle, can you help with any of that?

370
00:15:24,527 --> 00:15:27,361
I'd rather just listen if
it's all the same to you.

371
00:15:27,396 --> 00:15:29,597
Look, if you do an ICO,

372
00:15:29,633 --> 00:15:31,132
you're not only saying fuck you to us,

373
00:15:31,167 --> 00:15:32,600
you're saying fuck you to all VCs.

374
00:15:32,636 --> 00:15:34,034
Jesus, Richard. Why would you even

375
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:36,437
think it would be okay
to talk to me about this?

376
00:15:36,472 --> 00:15:38,805
Like would you ask your wife
who you should cheat with?

377
00:15:38,841 --> 00:15:39,849
No.

378
00:15:40,494 --> 00:15:41,531
Well, maybe.

379
00:15:41,566 --> 00:15:42,565
I don't know, I...

380
00:15:43,161 --> 00:15:45,557
I guess I was just looking
for advice from a friend.

381
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:47,704
Oh, are we friends, Richard?

382
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:49,238
- Yes, of course.
- Really?

383
00:15:49,273 --> 00:15:50,873
Have we spoken once in the past year

384
00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:52,974
about anything other than business?

385
00:15:52,974 --> 00:15:54,029
Yes.

386
00:15:54,677 --> 00:15:56,869
Wait. No.

387
00:15:56,869 --> 00:15:58,503
- When's my birthday?
- Come on.

388
00:15:58,538 --> 00:16:00,630
Do I live in a house or an apartment?

389
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,727
Did you even know that I was married?

390
00:16:03,762 --> 00:16:05,522
- You are?
- I was, I...

391
00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:07,663
had it annulled after three months.

392
00:16:07,698 --> 00:16:09,706
Did he ask you who he should cheat with?

393
00:16:12,804 --> 00:16:15,019
Look, you came for advice, fine.

394
00:16:15,296 --> 00:16:16,839
Forget an ICO.

395
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:17,940
Okay? I'm sure Gilfoyle

396
00:16:17,976 --> 00:16:20,509
told you that he can handle
all the technical stuff.

397
00:16:20,725 --> 00:16:22,759
But this is not just a math problem.

398
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:25,943
They're my direct competition.
I've done my homework on this.

399
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:28,619
So before you walk away from stability

400
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:31,406
and gamble your entire company on crypto,

401
00:16:31,625 --> 00:16:33,324
there's another "friend" of yours

402
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:34,695
I think you should talk to.

403
00:16:36,153 --> 00:16:39,052
I was such a fucking pussy
when Bitcoin broke, Richard.

404
00:16:39,496 --> 00:16:40,599
If I had the balls,

405
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:42,733
I'd have put every penny
I had into that shit

406
00:16:42,768 --> 00:16:43,734
five years ago,

407
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:45,167
watched it go up, up, up, up, up

408
00:16:45,192 --> 00:16:47,667
and then pulled out right before
it all came crashing down again.

409
00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:49,512
I mean, Jesus, why didn't I do that?

410
00:16:49,512 --> 00:16:51,380
Fuck me! But then, it occurred to me...

411
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:54,495
I own 36 fucking companies, Richard.

412
00:16:55,174 --> 00:16:57,100
If I make them all ICO,

413
00:16:57,218 --> 00:16:59,417
that's 36 bites at the apple.

414
00:16:59,854 --> 00:17:00,920
So I did it.

415
00:17:00,955 --> 00:17:03,456
- You... you did 36 ICOs?
- Yup.

416
00:17:03,748 --> 00:17:05,392
- Did they work?
- You know, one of the things

417
00:17:05,427 --> 00:17:07,661
being in the three comma
club has taught me, Richard,

418
00:17:07,696 --> 00:17:08,928
is it's not always about money.

419
00:17:08,963 --> 00:17:10,664
Sometimes, it's about wisdom.

420
00:17:10,699 --> 00:17:13,881
And did I lose a B? Close to it. Fuck!

421
00:17:14,403 --> 00:17:16,989
But I bet I gained two B in wisdom.

422
00:17:17,485 --> 00:17:18,905
So you lost it all?

423
00:17:20,175 --> 00:17:23,176
Ha, ha, Richard, if I didn't
love this crazy guy so much,

424
00:17:23,211 --> 00:17:24,634
I'd knock his fucking teeth out.

425
00:17:24,890 --> 00:17:26,493
Nah, nah, I didn't lose it all.

426
00:17:26,982 --> 00:17:28,751
I mean, one of them got
shut down by the SEC.

427
00:17:28,752 --> 00:17:30,320
On a few, we got scammed.

428
00:17:30,553 --> 00:17:31,886
But some of them worked.

429
00:17:33,289 --> 00:17:34,355
One of them worked.

430
00:17:34,582 --> 00:17:36,997
One? One out of 36?

431
00:17:37,293 --> 00:17:38,359
Yeah. Listen,

432
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,888
all the coin I had from the ICO that worked

433
00:17:40,923 --> 00:17:42,389
was on a USB thumb drive.

434
00:17:42,735 --> 00:17:44,235
And my dumb fucking housekeeper

435
00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:45,726
threw out my jeans,
'cause they were ripped.

436
00:17:45,751 --> 00:17:47,251
Even though I paid more
for the ripped ones.

437
00:17:47,276 --> 00:17:48,895
And the thumb drive was in the pocket, so.

438
00:17:48,895 --> 00:17:51,560
$300 million in crypto is
buried out here, somewhere.

439
00:17:51,645 --> 00:17:53,145
But my boys will find it.

440
00:17:53,182 --> 00:17:54,765
If they wanna get paid, right?

441
00:17:55,984 --> 00:17:57,186
And when they do,

442
00:17:57,352 --> 00:17:59,152
that coin could cover all the losers.

443
00:17:59,188 --> 00:18:01,554
I mean, it's up 3,000%
in the last two weeks.

444
00:18:01,589 --> 00:18:03,824
If it keeps going like this
over the next three, four months,

445
00:18:03,859 --> 00:18:05,658
we could be talking the four comma club!

446
00:18:05,694 --> 00:18:07,327
That's a T, not a B, Richard.

447
00:18:07,694 --> 00:18:09,863
- Mr. Hanneman!
- Shit, you found it?

448
00:18:09,898 --> 00:18:13,186
Jose! Yes! No!

449
00:18:13,902 --> 00:18:15,435
I said a thumb drive.

450
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:17,170
In the... that's an actual thumb.

451
00:18:17,404 --> 00:18:19,725
That's a human... Just
fucking put that back!

452
00:18:20,268 --> 00:18:22,356
Again, Richard...

453
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,612
the math is sound.

454
00:18:30,386 --> 00:18:32,986
Well, Mayor, I sure have
enjoyed our time together.

455
00:18:33,021 --> 00:18:34,310
Let me know when you get this done.

456
00:18:34,335 --> 00:18:37,291
Uh, Mr. Belson, I'm sorry,
but this list of demands

457
00:18:37,326 --> 00:18:40,126
is not remotely workable
for a community of our size.

458
00:18:40,469 --> 00:18:42,496
A mayor's job is never easy.

459
00:18:42,531 --> 00:18:43,797
But you'll find a way,

460
00:18:43,832 --> 00:18:45,365
if you care about your constituents.

461
00:18:45,401 --> 00:18:47,367
Mr. Belson, I grew up in this town.

462
00:18:47,403 --> 00:18:48,802
I've lived here my entire life.

463
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:50,837
- I'd do anything to...
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

464
00:18:50,872 --> 00:18:52,806
- Your entire life?
- Mm-hmm.

465
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:54,899
- How old are you?
- Forty-seven.

466
00:18:55,644 --> 00:18:57,177
That's a little weird, isn't it?

467
00:18:57,212 --> 00:19:00,813
The point is, I'd do anything
to help the people of this area.

468
00:19:01,019 --> 00:19:04,377
But giving you public money on this
scale would decimate our budget.

469
00:19:04,952 --> 00:19:07,420
I could have the local high
school renamed after you.

470
00:19:07,455 --> 00:19:09,822
Rosa Parks has never
even been to Goldbriar.

471
00:19:09,857 --> 00:19:11,357
I don't want a fucking high school.

472
00:19:11,392 --> 00:19:14,560
I wanna manufacture boxes
at an 80% profit margin.

473
00:19:14,595 --> 00:19:15,695
I don't understand.

474
00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:17,573
All my asshole friends keep getting

475
00:19:17,598 --> 00:19:19,732
NFL stadiums and corporate headquarters,

476
00:19:19,767 --> 00:19:21,099
all fully paid for.

477
00:19:21,135 --> 00:19:24,457
And you can't make one
fucking factory happen?

478
00:19:24,575 --> 00:19:27,440
I mean, the only things I have
left to cut are essential services.

479
00:19:27,475 --> 00:19:29,274
There you go. Do that.

480
00:19:29,435 --> 00:19:31,246
You could have a volunteer fire department.

481
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:33,512
Because I can't afford
a penny more than this.

482
00:19:36,916 --> 00:19:38,383
Everybody ready?

483
00:19:39,786 --> 00:19:40,952
Two, three!

484
00:20:06,112 --> 00:20:07,979
So, pretty sweet, right?

485
00:20:08,014 --> 00:20:09,313
Yeah, it's nice.

486
00:20:09,349 --> 00:20:11,648
Sorry we couldn't find a
safe spot to try Insane Mode.

487
00:20:11,684 --> 00:20:13,484
It feels like your kidneys
are gonna get, like,

488
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:14,986
ripped right through the back of your body.

489
00:20:15,021 --> 00:20:17,355
- It's like...
- Yeah, I don't think I'd wanna do that.

490
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:18,789
Well you don't need to do it.

491
00:20:18,824 --> 00:20:21,625
But you wanna be able to tell
people that you can do it.

492
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:23,600
Right? It's like having a gun.

493
00:20:24,163 --> 00:20:26,998
So, Charlie and Nadia
have already said yes.

494
00:20:27,033 --> 00:20:29,446
You'll finally have something
to talk to them about.

495
00:20:29,668 --> 00:20:31,402
Oh, let me think about it.

496
00:20:31,437 --> 00:20:34,039
Fine. Okay, just pull
into the designated EV...

497
00:20:34,064 --> 00:20:35,050
2.8 seconds.

498
00:20:35,075 --> 00:20:36,374
Oh, fuck.

499
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:37,741
Danny already got his car.

500
00:20:38,067 --> 00:20:40,444
I'll pay your down payment and first
three months. Do we have a deal?

501
00:20:40,541 --> 00:20:41,691
Wow, really?

502
00:20:43,148 --> 00:20:44,314
Make it six months.

503
00:20:45,418 --> 00:20:46,588
Fine! Okay, just go.

504
00:20:46,613 --> 00:20:48,681
Hide before Danny sees
us in this shitty car.

505
00:20:48,716 --> 00:20:50,149
- Go, go, go. Go.
- Wow, uh...

506
00:20:53,901 --> 00:20:54,849
Hello?

507
00:20:55,068 --> 00:20:56,601
Hey, guess what?

508
00:20:56,637 --> 00:20:58,685
My boss just bought me a car!

509
00:20:59,973 --> 00:21:02,289
What? No! Ew. Ugh!

510
00:21:04,873 --> 00:21:07,540
Richard? Ron LaFlamme's office just called.

511
00:21:07,575 --> 00:21:10,409
And the series B paperwork
is ready for you to sign.

512
00:21:11,717 --> 00:21:12,749
Okay.

513
00:21:12,859 --> 00:21:16,530
Uh, well, then I guess I'll
just go over there and sign it.

514
00:21:16,707 --> 00:21:19,408
Richard, I know you were
pinning your hopes on the ICO,

515
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:22,010
but I... I think series
B is the right call.

516
00:21:22,136 --> 00:21:24,069
Yeah, no, I... I hope so.

517
00:21:24,272 --> 00:21:26,205
We're gonna get the
money we need to launch,

518
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,740
and everyone out there is
gonna get a great bonus.

519
00:21:28,776 --> 00:21:31,677
And then, you're gonna
have an army of happy

520
00:21:31,712 --> 00:21:33,528
and highly motivated workers...

521
00:21:34,827 --> 00:21:35,826
Jared?

522
00:21:35,854 --> 00:21:37,374
Everything okay with Holden?

523
00:21:37,653 --> 00:21:39,279
You mean, like, mentally?

524
00:21:39,304 --> 00:21:40,912
I was wondering that, too.

525
00:21:40,985 --> 00:21:43,101
No. No, no. Just, like...

526
00:21:43,101 --> 00:21:44,671
like, with you and him.

527
00:21:44,887 --> 00:21:47,322
Just seems like you're
being really hard on him.

528
00:21:47,789 --> 00:21:48,971
Do you like him?

529
00:21:49,384 --> 00:21:50,823
Yeah. I mean, sure.

530
00:21:51,517 --> 00:21:53,681
Okay. It's okay if you like him.

531
00:21:53,962 --> 00:21:55,551
That's all that matters, right?

532
00:21:55,764 --> 00:21:56,696
Yeah.

533
00:21:56,731 --> 00:21:58,859
Okay. Well, I'll see you when, uh...

534
00:21:59,101 --> 00:22:01,041
I'll see you when you
get back from LaFlamme's.

535
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:14,481
Every institutional investor
to whom I reached out

536
00:22:14,516 --> 00:22:16,316
agreed to participate in our second fund.

537
00:22:16,351 --> 00:22:20,205
The capital issues we
faced due to Eklow's failure

538
00:22:20,308 --> 00:22:21,520
have been remedied.

539
00:22:21,818 --> 00:22:23,656
Laurie, you are a badass.

540
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:27,793
Ah, yes. A compliment.

541
00:22:28,176 --> 00:22:31,269
Well, I think the numbers
in our new prospectus

542
00:22:31,269 --> 00:22:32,801
speak for themselves.

543
00:22:35,273 --> 00:22:38,307
Sorry, you're projecting
that 70% of Pied Piper's

544
00:22:38,343 --> 00:22:41,335
operating income is gonna
come from ad sales, but...

545
00:22:41,775 --> 00:22:43,275
Pied Piper's not gonna sell ads.

546
00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:46,378
Yes. I understand that
is their current position.

547
00:22:46,413 --> 00:22:48,947
No, Laurie, when we
offered them their series B,

548
00:22:48,982 --> 00:22:51,450
I promised Richard that
we would never make them

549
00:22:51,485 --> 00:22:52,784
harvest data or sell ads.

550
00:22:52,819 --> 00:22:55,886
However, that language is
not part of their term sheet.

551
00:22:56,437 --> 00:22:59,736
I am not saying that we will
force their hand on this issue.

552
00:22:59,992 --> 00:23:03,925
But neither am I saying
definitively that we will not.

553
00:23:04,764 --> 00:23:08,636
Okay, but you and I,
we are partners, right?

554
00:23:08,636 --> 00:23:09,702
Of course.

555
00:23:09,737 --> 00:23:12,734
Any decision we make, we
will certainly make together.

556
00:23:13,035 --> 00:23:14,806
Good. As long as that's clear.

557
00:23:15,277 --> 00:23:17,710
And again, great job closing our funding.

558
00:23:17,745 --> 00:23:20,646
Ah, yes. Huzzah. Onward.

559
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:28,637
Laurie, did you have

560
00:23:28,662 --> 00:23:30,523
the big, hairy question
put back on my wall?

561
00:23:30,558 --> 00:23:31,924
Yes. I like it there.

562
00:23:32,194 --> 00:23:33,249
But I don't.

563
00:23:34,095 --> 00:23:35,160
And yet...

564
00:23:40,034 --> 00:23:42,401
All right. One more, right there.

565
00:23:42,436 --> 00:23:45,270
And done-zo.

566
00:23:45,306 --> 00:23:47,106
Series Ba-bam.

567
00:23:47,141 --> 00:23:48,674
Richard, don't sign it.

568
00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:50,087
Look, I can't protect you.

569
00:23:50,256 --> 00:23:51,845
At some point, Laurie's gonna fuck you over

570
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,308
- and make you sell ads.
- What?

571
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:55,200
And I don't think there's
anything I can do about it.

572
00:23:55,236 --> 00:23:58,041
Don't sign the deal. I just did. It's done.

573
00:23:58,041 --> 00:23:59,340
Jesus Christ.

574
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:00,742
Laurie's gonna sell ads.

575
00:24:00,836 --> 00:24:02,418
Isn't that what I told you?

576
00:24:02,443 --> 00:24:04,443
What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

577
00:24:04,770 --> 00:24:06,023
God!

578
00:24:06,677 --> 00:24:08,671
You know I can just tear these up, right?

579
00:24:12,377 --> 00:24:14,144
No, I know. Good.

580
00:24:15,948 --> 00:24:17,180
- I like it.

581
00:24:17,215 --> 00:24:19,116
But can we adjust the proportions?

582
00:24:19,151 --> 00:24:21,016
Make the logo bigger?

583
00:24:21,117 --> 00:24:23,020
And... and make the flag bigger?

584
00:24:23,055 --> 00:24:25,088
And... and make the box bigger, too.

585
00:24:25,124 --> 00:24:27,590
It all just needs to be bigger.

586
00:24:27,626 --> 00:24:28,743
Okay.

587
00:24:29,061 --> 00:24:30,371
- Bigger.
- Yeah.

588
00:24:30,696 --> 00:24:32,609
- Sir.
- Ah, Hoover.

589
00:24:33,313 --> 00:24:34,665
How's the factory coming?

590
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:35,965
We almost online?

591
00:24:36,441 --> 00:24:37,853
Not exactly, sir.

592
00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:39,581
It's gone.

593
00:24:39,617 --> 00:24:40,622
What do you mean?

594
00:24:40,861 --> 00:24:42,895
Did that dipshit mayor renege on our deal?

595
00:24:42,930 --> 00:24:44,410
No, he made every effort,

596
00:24:44,565 --> 00:24:46,532
including having the factory repainted.

597
00:24:46,711 --> 00:24:48,344
Okay. So what's the problem?

598
00:24:48,379 --> 00:24:51,915
Well, apparently, the painters left
some oily rags in a garbage can.

599
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:52,877
Mm-hmm.

600
00:24:52,902 --> 00:24:55,282
But because of cuts to
the sanitation service,

601
00:24:55,534 --> 00:24:56,933
the trash was not collected

602
00:24:56,968 --> 00:24:58,928
and the rags smoldered and caught fire.

603
00:24:59,159 --> 00:25:01,137
And because of cuts to the fire department,

604
00:25:01,173 --> 00:25:02,239
the blaze spread.

605
00:25:02,906 --> 00:25:04,241
A number of concerned citizens

606
00:25:04,276 --> 00:25:05,709
volunteered to help fight the fire,

607
00:25:05,744 --> 00:25:08,645
but because the water was
cut off, they could not.

608
00:25:08,681 --> 00:25:09,845
Okay, so what happened?

609
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,815
Well, the vast majority of our
expensive, rare earth materials

610
00:25:12,850 --> 00:25:13,816
survived the fire.

611
00:25:13,851 --> 00:25:15,281
Well, that's something.

612
00:25:15,351 --> 00:25:16,919
Until the flames abated,

613
00:25:16,954 --> 00:25:19,121
when because of mass layoffs of police,

614
00:25:19,156 --> 00:25:21,141
the locals that were
there to fight the fire

615
00:25:21,392 --> 00:25:24,560
decided instead to loot
the burned-out factory.

616
00:25:25,202 --> 00:25:27,328
The National Guard attempted
to reach the factory

617
00:25:27,328 --> 00:25:28,700
to help stop this, but...

618
00:25:29,090 --> 00:25:30,943
- The roads.
- The roads, sir, yes.

619
00:25:30,943 --> 00:25:31,967
Okay.

620
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:33,671
So, we lost it all?

621
00:25:34,168 --> 00:25:35,734
- Everything?
- Yes.

622
00:25:37,037 --> 00:25:38,528
Also, the IRS called.

623
00:25:38,706 --> 00:25:40,906
Somehow, they found out about Bermuda.

624
00:25:46,517 --> 00:25:48,650
Look, when you take it all into account,

625
00:25:48,686 --> 00:25:50,286
turning down our series B

626
00:25:50,321 --> 00:25:51,954
and doing an ICO to fund your launch,

627
00:25:51,989 --> 00:25:53,817
may actually give you the best odds.

628
00:25:54,161 --> 00:25:55,994
You said ICOs are suicide.

629
00:25:56,019 --> 00:25:57,236
Well, I'm a VC

630
00:25:57,261 --> 00:25:59,544
and some of that might have
been self-preservational.

631
00:25:59,697 --> 00:26:00,726
Okay.

632
00:26:00,751 --> 00:26:03,398
Well, even if you were
exaggerating, you're still right.

633
00:26:03,434 --> 00:26:06,969
I mean, Russ Hanneman had 36
chances to make an ICO work

634
00:26:06,994 --> 00:26:08,227
and he basically failed.

635
00:26:08,247 --> 00:26:09,322
I only have one.

636
00:26:09,347 --> 00:26:11,815
Look, Gilfoyle can handle
all the technical stuff.

637
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,172
You just need to hire someone

638
00:26:13,208 --> 00:26:14,461
who can handle the business side.

639
00:26:14,614 --> 00:26:16,142
- Like who?
- I don't know.

640
00:26:16,177 --> 00:26:18,910
I'm sorry, but I gotta
Uber back to the office

641
00:26:18,946 --> 00:26:20,345
before Laurie realizes I'm gone.

642
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:22,013
No, no, wait. Who do I hire?

643
00:26:22,049 --> 00:26:24,216
Someone who understands securities, right?

644
00:26:24,251 --> 00:26:25,217
Not necessarily.

645
00:26:25,252 --> 00:26:27,052
I mean, your coin doesn't
have to be a security.

646
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:29,054
You could do a utility token instead,

647
00:26:29,089 --> 00:26:30,889
since you provide an
actual unit of compute.

648
00:26:30,924 --> 00:26:33,258
Although, you'd have to convince the SEC.

649
00:26:34,261 --> 00:26:35,711
Damn it. Surge pricing.

650
00:26:35,963 --> 00:26:37,863
- Monica.
- You might not even need to bother

651
00:26:37,898 --> 00:26:40,031
with a moving average pricing
strategy when you launch.

652
00:26:40,067 --> 00:26:41,767
But you will need to keep a close eye on

653
00:26:41,802 --> 00:26:43,334
statements from the federal government,

654
00:26:43,370 --> 00:26:44,369
South Korea, and China.

655
00:26:44,404 --> 00:26:45,971
So, whoever you do hire

656
00:26:46,006 --> 00:26:47,605
should definitely know how to do all that.

657
00:26:47,641 --> 00:26:48,794
Okay, six minutes.

658
00:26:48,964 --> 00:26:50,351
- Monica.
- What?

659
00:26:50,878 --> 00:26:52,072
It's you.

660
00:26:52,246 --> 00:26:53,478
You're the right person.

661
00:26:54,028 --> 00:26:55,188
No.

662
00:26:55,415 --> 00:26:56,748
No. No, no, no, no, no.

663
00:26:56,783 --> 00:26:58,416
Come on. Give me one good reason.

664
00:26:59,452 --> 00:27:01,919
I... love my job.

665
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:03,115
You hate working for Laurie.

666
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:06,291
With Laurie, okay? We
are both equal partners.

667
00:27:06,326 --> 00:27:07,317
Okay.

668
00:27:07,656 --> 00:27:10,514
Look, Monica. I will do the ICO.

669
00:27:10,863 --> 00:27:12,583
But only if you do it with me.

670
00:27:15,973 --> 00:27:17,005
Come on.

671
00:27:18,122 --> 00:27:19,288
Wait, what's happening?

672
00:27:20,311 --> 00:27:21,677
Canceling my Uber.

673
00:27:23,563 --> 00:27:25,361
- So, you're in?
- Fuck it.

674
00:27:25,397 --> 00:27:26,529
I'm in.

675
00:27:26,804 --> 00:27:27,836
Fuck series B.

676
00:27:27,871 --> 00:27:29,705
PiedPiperCoin is totally gonna work.

677
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:32,173
Yes. It is. It totally is.

678
00:27:37,581 --> 00:27:38,847
So, just to confirm,

679
00:27:39,236 --> 00:27:40,816
in order for this coin to be worth

680
00:27:40,816 --> 00:27:42,582
what series B was worth to all of us,

681
00:27:42,618 --> 00:27:44,384
it has to sell for how much?

682
00:27:44,626 --> 00:27:46,285
$68.

683
00:27:46,506 --> 00:27:47,487
I see.

684
00:27:47,638 --> 00:27:50,702
And seven cents is less than that.

685
00:27:51,226 --> 00:27:52,270
Yup.

686
00:27:52,361 --> 00:27:54,136
Whose idea was this again?

687
00:27:54,296 --> 00:27:57,531
I believe the initial idea was Gilfoyle's.

688
00:27:57,566 --> 00:27:59,265
To be fair, it was Monica

689
00:27:59,301 --> 00:28:01,834
who really pushed it over the goal line.

690
00:28:02,148 --> 00:28:04,765
Well, I'm gonna head
down to the Tesla dealer

691
00:28:04,765 --> 00:28:06,676
and beg them to take my car back.

692
00:28:07,868 --> 00:28:09,604
Well, that's something.

693
00:28:09,970 --> 00:28:11,703
And my two referrals fell through.

694
00:28:11,739 --> 00:28:13,138
And I had to return mine.

695
00:28:13,173 --> 00:28:15,841
So now the only Tesla in
the office is Priyanka's

696
00:28:15,876 --> 00:28:17,179
and I'm paying for that.

697
00:28:17,204 --> 00:28:18,803
So, that's cool.

698
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:21,609
Richard, adversity is a great teacher.

699
00:28:21,816 --> 00:28:23,672
Just like cigarette burns.

700
00:28:31,575 --> 00:28:33,214
Laurie, hi.

701
00:28:33,627 --> 00:28:34,593
Monica.

702
00:28:34,628 --> 00:28:37,359
Congratulations on the ICO.

703
00:28:37,730 --> 00:28:41,444
Yeah, yeah. Not quite the
numbers we were hoping for.

704
00:28:42,001 --> 00:28:43,568
I'm sure you're happy about that.

705
00:28:43,603 --> 00:28:44,632
On the contrary.

706
00:28:44,632 --> 00:28:46,604
Monica, you have certain values.

707
00:28:46,639 --> 00:28:49,420
And I see no reason you should not
work with companies that share them.

708
00:28:49,749 --> 00:28:52,949
Similarly, I should work with
companies that share my values.

709
00:28:53,671 --> 00:28:55,145
So, no hard feelings?

710
00:28:55,562 --> 00:28:57,846
No feelings at all, Monica.

711
00:28:58,050 --> 00:28:59,116
We are friends

712
00:28:59,151 --> 00:29:01,853
and we should not let business
get in the way of that.

713
00:29:02,111 --> 00:29:04,820
Speaking of, I am stepping into a meeting.

714
00:29:05,091 --> 00:29:07,648
Right, well, I'm surprised
you're taking this so well,

715
00:29:07,648 --> 00:29:09,493
I really appreciate it, Laurie.

716
00:29:09,528 --> 00:29:10,827
Let us talk soon.

717
00:29:20,205 --> 00:29:21,571
Have you received my proposal?

718
00:29:21,607 --> 00:29:23,354
Very promising.
