Super Pumped

Previously, on "Super Pumped"...

Boom! You just got Greyballed, motherfucker!

I-Is this legal?

Are you an asshole?

We wouldn't even be here tonight

If it wasn't for Olivia Lungociu.

What if we gave her a taste of her own medicine?

Spend a million dollars to dig into her?

How could you, Emil?

I'm the one who put you in here.

I'm the one who can take you out too.

- What's going on? - I yelled.

Travis, you can't do that.

Yeah, I know. I know.

I don't know what the fuck's wrong with me.

I don't know why I keep doing that.

Sometimes to get what you want,

You got to give what you want.

There's no driver.

We doing this?

We sure as fuck are, man.

Google rang me up.

It's not good. They're suing over Levandowski.

You need to publish this video.

The world needs to see it.

Opening theme music plays...

*SUPER PUMPED THE BATTLE FOR UBER * Season 01 Episode 16

Episode Title: "Delete Uber" Aired on: April 03, 2022.

Hello, everyone.

I understand Mr. Kalanick is unable to join,

but we know everything,

And we have it all in here.

So let's begin.

"Force of Nature" by Pearl Jam plays

Understand she's a force of nature

Contraband hiding deep inside her soul

Exercising her will to lose control

These are just and reasonable demands

Of righteous people.

A man considers himself small

Right up until the moment he bigs up.

Atlas-style, Greek Titan, bodybuilder.

Both motherfuckers apply.

Inspiration from the back of a comic book

Is not far off in this particular case.

Can you believe this asshole?

The case of Dan O'Sullivan.

Chicago nobody versus the world.

...so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here

And stops right now.

Maybe we should turn this off, you know,

Keep politics out of the office, like they said?

CEO is on Trump's economic council.

He brought politics to the office

and dumped them like a colostomy bag

right in the middle of the office.

You're obsessed, man. And a little gross.

Pretty sure we're all obsessed, or should be.

You didn't get enough blow back from your company-wide email

About TK signing on with Trump?

I mean, that had to get HR all up in your face.

My face is fine.

You told me you got called into the office...

I said it went fine. Travis is sucking the ass

Of a fake fucking billionaire.

Worry about what's ending up on his face,

And I'll worry about him firing me.

We've got to turn this sentiment around.

No. I don't believe that.

I don't see it. That's not fair.

It's also wrong, by the way. But mostly it's unfair.

You agreed to let us do our thing and then report back.

- You agreed. - I changed my mind.

- And I'm glad I did. - We're not doing this

With you here, that's why it's an off site.

Uber is not paying you to collect all of my bad press

like some pissed-off girlfriend scrolling through our texts

Trying to find the first time I was mean to her.

Actually, that's exactly what they want, because this...

Well, this says that people don't like you.

It says that you are one dumb choice away

from being a punchline buried in the third graph

Of a late-night monologue.

And who is "they" in your construct?

I'm Uber, 'kay?

And I don't see this.

What I see is a mediocre comms team that's...

Oh, no.

What are you doing?

What is it?

My girls.

Do it outside. Don't do it in my house.

- Yeah, this is it, man. - Heck, yeah.

- Yeah, all right. - Perfect.

- Thank you. - Oh, this is really fucked up.

I don't know if you remember me, you know, old faces, new faces.

2010.

- Thanks for all the work you do. - You dropped the prices.

I... I didn't drop the prices on Black.

You can have the prices you want,

But you choose to give everybody a ride.

Okay, no, here's the thing about that.

We can do Lux in San Francisco.

I got guys working on Lux right now.

That's gonna be 50 to 70% more expensive.

But people are not trusting you anymore.

You think people want to buy black cars anymore?

Nobody wants to buy a black car.

I lost $97,000 because of you.

Yes. I'm bankrupt because of you.

Yes, come on. Yes. You keep changing every day.

- Hold on. Hold on a second. - You keep changing every day.

What have I changed about Black?

- You changed the whole business. - What?

- You dropped the prices. - That... not on Black.

- No, that's bullshit. That... - Yes. Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

We are thrilled to have you exclusive to Uber.

- Twenty dollars a mile? - Yeah.

And the price for the rider stays the same.

We just appreciate your loyalty.

- That is bullshit. Bullshit! - We're talking dollars per mile.

- What is the mile now, $2.75? - You know what?

Some people just can't take responsibility

- For their own shit. - I take responsibility.

And they have to blame everything in their life

- On somebody else. - You sent an email.

- Come on, you sent an email... - Good luck.

Good luck to you, but I know

- You're not gonna go far. - Jesus, turn it off.

This is really bad. That's really bad.

That's really bad. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck! What is wrong with me?

It's being picked up by Olivia. It's on WSJ's site.

Is anyone calling us for comment?

No.

- That's not good. - Mnh-mnh.

Uh, Arianna? Hi, it's, uh, Travis.

Can you call me back?

Um, look, actually, can you just come get me?

I'm...

Never mind just, uh, call. Thanks.

This is Bonnie Kalanick.

Please leave me a message,

And I'll get back to you.

Hi, Mom.

Um, can you just call me back?

I, um... I'm not gonna...

...be able to make it up to the house.

Things are complicated here.

But if anyone calls you about a video,

Just hang up and call Penny or Kelsey, okay?

And don't watch it.

I'm fixing this.

I am.

Some people just don't want to take responsibility.

I take responsibility. You sent an email.

They gotta blame everything in their life on somebody else.

- Bill. - We have a problem.

Yes. We do.

I just spoke with Travis.

He needs our support with that bogus video

of him and the driver.

Can I count on the board?

Well, I appreciate you reaching out

To get ourselves aligned on this.

This is a-a bad situation

On top of a lot of bad choices, Arianna.

He's surrounded by the wrong people.

Well, I'd love to,

but we make the wrong move in response,

It's gonna look like panic.

It was lovely to chat with you.

I'm confident we will find a solution.

No, ma'am.

It's always my pleasure speaking with you on the phone.

This video is data.

And you're the data guy, right?

So tell me where the lie is.

Now tell me, what part of what you said isn't true?

You can't, can you?

- No. - No.

And what's our valuation right now?

Sixty-nine billion.

What was it when you started with Ryan and Garrett?

- One point six million. - It was.

That's one point six.

That's a dick lint number.

And who did that?

Which guy on the screen?

That guy wouldn't have a job if it weren't for that guy.

Okay?

You didn't tell him to make the choices he made.

You gave him opportunity.

The most American thing ever.

Fly the flag, salute the fireworks,

Baseball and hot dogs.

That's you.

Apple fucking pie, right?
