So Silicon Valley is in its fifth season, right?
And what's happening this season?
OK so the show's about a tech startup, these young guys who
are trying to get their tech company off the ground.
And typically, they face-plant every episode
and fail in various humiliating ways.
But this season, they're actually
starting to have some success and get some financing
and money.
And they predictably don't weather that particularly well.
So that's what this season's about.
Better at failing.
Are you a tech person, do you know a lot about stuff
like that?
I'm not.
I'm like so tech-literate.
I also didn't know who any of these tech guys were.
So like the first premiere we had in San Francisco,
after the premiere, someone was like, hey,
do you want to meet Elon?
And I was like, who's that?
And they said, Elon Musk.
And I just-- if you don't know who Elon Musk is,
Elon Musk just sounds like a crappy cologne or something.
I didn't know.
I had no idea who he was.
It was like I guess this is just a fan who wants to meet me.
So I went over to him.
And I was like, hey, nice to meet you.
I'm Zach.
Do you live in San Francisco?
And he was like, yeah.
And I was like, do you work in tech?
And he was like, yeah.
And I was like, well--
I said, well, I know it's a competitive industry.
So I hope things go well for you.
Wow.
I didn't know he was--
I mean, he's like literally colonizing outer space.
Yes, yes.
Hilarious.
All right.
You're very funny.
The new season of Silicon Valley premieres this Sunday at 10:00
on HBO.
