00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:11,040
Hello, I'm Olivia here with Shauna.

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,440
And for PCJ Pop this week,

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,440
I'm bringing back a true HBO masterpiece, Silicon Valley.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,840
Shauna, have you ever seen it?

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,880
No, but it's one of those things.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,440
It's like, you know, been such a,

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,400
it's floated through my atmosphere

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,720
and so I know I should.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,560
I know I should.

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Tell me why, tell me why.

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,240
Okay, it is so truly funny.

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,480
It is created by Mike Judge.

14
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:41,640
It has Thomas Middleditch, TJ Miller, Josh Brennan.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,280
And it is truly so incredibly funny.

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,840
Also good mentions, Martin Star.

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,800
It has Kamal, a non-Johnny in it.

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,920
And I wanna say this is like one of his breakout roles.

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,080
It's really where he became super famous.

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,880
It is truly hilarious.

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,000
It came out in 2014.

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,800
It really captures this time and zeitgeist

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,800
of Silicon Valley, drop out of college, start a startup

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,640
and just quintessential tech bro.

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,800
It is one of the funniest pieces of poverty.

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,680
Ever though, it's just like so quirky.

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,400
And really like captures that time of like girl boss,

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,640
go get it, you know, this internet startup.

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,960
Yeah.

30
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,520
And it really is just so funny the way that it makes fun

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,960
of, you know, this culture in San Francisco, Palo Alto,

32
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:42,960
San Jose.

33
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,480
Do you feel like now that you live in San Francisco,

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
you're like, yes, yes, totally yes.

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Oh my gosh, I think that I, I mean,

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,640
I've always worked in tech startups since I graduate college.

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,120
There are ton and Phoenix.

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,120
I like kind of saw a piece of that in companies,

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,600
but oh my god, it is very, very true.

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,720
The engineers, the like awkwardness.

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,560
I love it.

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,680
And like every other lion is hilarious.

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,600
TJ Miller is Erlich Bachman in this.

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,960
One of the funniest characters of the world.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,440
It's TJ Miller, we don't stand, but you know,

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
this is his earlier work, obviously,

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,440
and it was before everything.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Yeah.

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,440
But Kumail Nonjani is fine as hell.

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Yeah, he, yeah, very much your type.

51
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,000
It is just such a masterpiece.

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
It is such a time capsule, but still so timeless.

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,160
And so, yeah, I am going to pop Silicon Valley for this week.

54
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
You can find it on HBO.

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720
And that's it for your PCJ Pop.

56
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,300
