>> Stephen: BACK WITH THE STAR OF "SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR
UBER" ON SHOWTIME JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT.
I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD SOMETHING WITH MARK CUBAN BOOING IN THIS
FILM.
DID HE INVEST?
>> HE INVESTED IN TRAVIS' COMPANY BEFORE UBER CALLED RED
SWOOSH AND HE PASSED ON UBER AND I GAVE HIM KUDOS FOR TAKING THE
HIGH ROAD BECAUSE HE PREDICTED YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE THIS IS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS WITHOUT BREAKING THE LAW.
AND HE WAS RIGHT.
I LOVE MARK CUBAN.
SHARK TANK IS MY SHOW!
I'M TELLING YOU.
>> Stephen: HOW DID YOU GET HIM TO COME ON.
>> BRIAN KOPELMAN, ONE TO HAVE THE CREATORS OF THIS SHOW,
CREATED BILLY AND FRIENDS WITH MARK CUBAN, HE WAS GOING TO HAVE
A DRINK WITH HIM.
I WAS, LIKE, OKAY I'M GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO PLEADING FOR MARK
CUBAN TO PLAY HIMSELF ON SUPER PUMPED.
I DID A VIDEO ON MY PHONE AND TOOK TEN TAKES TO GET IT RIGHT.
I TOLD YOU I'M A FAN AND TOLD HIM HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD BE
FOR HIM TO COME ON THE SHOW.
HE MAKES A VIDEO AND SENDS IT BACK TO ME.
REALLY SWEET.
SAYS I THINK YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT ACTOR, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, BUT
IF YOU'RE GOING TO WANT ME TO DO THIS SHOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO KISS UP A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID!
I THOUGHT, HE'S NOT GOING TO DO IT.
THAT'S HIS JOKEY WAY.
ME AND MY WIFE ARE BIG SHARK TANK FANS.
ISAID, HE'S NOT GOING TO DO IT.
SHE SAID, WHAT DID HE SAY?
I TOLD HER.
HE SAID, YES, YOU HAVE TO KISS UP MORE, SO JUST KISS UP MORE.
THIS IS VERY MY WIFE.
>> Stephen: THIS IS YOU KISSING UP?
>> I MADE A SECOND VIDEO AND I WAS, LIKE, HOW AM I GOING TO
KISS UP TO MARK CUBAN?
HE LOVES THE MAVERICKS.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN L.A., GREW UP WATCHING MAGIC AND YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND HOW BIG A DEAL IT IS FOR ME TO DO THIS.
GO MAVS.
BACK IN 2011, WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, THE BETTER TEAM WON.
DIRK IS AMAZING.
SGO MAVS, GO MAVS.
AND HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR OWNER?
SO HANDSOME AND INTELLIGENT.
IS THAT KISSING UP ENOUGH?
COME DO THE SCENE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: AND THE PEOPLE IN
LOS ANGELES FORGIVEN YOU?
>> THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE TO APOLOGIZE NOW.
>> DID MARK CUBAN DO THE SHOW?
TUNE IN AND FIND OUT.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S PART OF AN ANTHOLOGY THE
SHOWTIME IS DOING SUPER PUMPED.
ANOTHER INSTALLMENT WILL COVER Facebook, I UNDERSTAND.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU SEE UBER AS PART OF A LARGER STORY?
>> YES.
I'M ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD YOU ASKED THAT BECAUSE TO ME THAT'S
A BIG PART OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT DOING THIS SHOW IS IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT TRAVIS KALANICK OR UBER, IT'S A LARGER TREND WE
SEE COMING OUT OF SILICON VALLEY PUT ALSO OUT OF THE ENTIRE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT WHEN A COMPANY IS ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR
A QUOTE UNQUOTE SHAREHOLDER VALUE, WHEN ALL THEY HAVE TO DO
IS MAKE MONEY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS AFFECTED, WHO THEY
HAVE TO STEP ON OR WHAT LAWS THEY BREAK, IF THEY'RE MAKING
MONEY, IT'S NOT COOL.
THAT WON'T WORK.
LEADS TO DOOM.
WE'RE DRIVING OFF THE CLIFF.
THERE HAS TO BE MORE THAN JUST MAKE MONEY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I AGREE WITH YOU.
I AGREE REQUEST WITH YOU.
>> RIGHT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THERE ARE LAWS.
RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THERE ARE LAWS BUT THE LAWS HAVE TO BE ENFORCED.
THAT'S ONE TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS IS THE PEOPLE WHO MADE ALL THE
MONEY KEEP THE ELECTED FISHERS FROM ENFORCING THE LAWS THAT
WERE PASSED.
>> THERE IS A THING IN THIS COUNTRY IF YOU MAKE MONEY FAST
ENOUGH THE LAWMAKERS WON'T CATCH YOU.
>> Stephen: OR THEY CAN'T CATCH UP WITH THE WAYS YOU'RE
BREAKING THE LAW.
JOHN KENNEDY WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS FATHER ACCUSED OF BEING A
BOOTLEGGER IN PROHIBITION WAS ASKED DID YOUR LAW BREAK THE LAW
TO GET MISE FORTUNE?
AND HE SAID NO O BUT MANY LAWS WERE WRITTEN BECAUSE MY FATHER
MADE HIS FORTUNE THE WAY HE DID.
WE NEED LAWS MADE.
>> WE NEED A GOVERNMENT TO KEEP UP WITH SILICON VALLEY AND THE
OTHER BUSINESSES.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANKS.
>> St.>> STEPHEN: "SUPER PUMPEDE BATTLE FOR UBER," PREMIERES THIS
SUNDAY ON SHOWTIME.
JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT, EVERYBOD WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
