[INTENSE MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER] Leonard Moore. - Yeah. - Walk this way. [POP MUSIC] Hi. Hi. I'm here for the, uh, the online management position. Okay. Yes. Cool, man. Uh, let's go. Alright? Um, how do you see music's impact on social media? Music's impact on social media. Uh, well, wouldn't that be uh, social media's impact on... on music? It works both ways. Well, uh... When somebody shares a song on, uh, Facebook... ...you know, that would change its, uh... ...it would change its analytics. Like, if someone is... is... is sharing a song then the, uh, the users, or... or rather Facebook would, um, be changing its format you know, to be, uh, more... more music oriented. Mm, no. [CHUCKLES] But that... that was a cool answer. Cool. I like it. But, no. Like, let's take for example the acronym YOLO. - YOLO? - YOLO. YOLO, you only live once. Hashtag YOLO from Drake's song. I mean, people were emailing YOLO signing off texts with it. Its proliferation on social media was so voracious that suddenly the meanin' flipped. Instead of representing cool people and cool events it was suddenly hashtagged by stupid people, stupid events and it was, like, oh, my God. Why are old people using YOLO? I did not mean that to be rude or offensive... - Oh, no, no, no. - In any way. I love everyone no matter what age they were born. We're all equal. And you can choose what gender you wanna be. So that's excitin'. Um, there are a lot of young people workin' here so what is... Like, you could bring something unique and cool to this. What is that? I bring a very deep knowledge and love of music. Ah, I love music too. They all love music, like, what is... I... I'm talking about, like, what unique thing do you bring to the table? Uh... Look, all I know is that when I was 11 years old I heard Led Zeppelin IV and it blew my mind. I never heard music like that before. I didn't even know music like that was possible. And so I caught the fever, and what I wanna do is pass that fever down to the next generation. [CHUCKLES] Yeah. That is so true. I love that, Leonard. I mean... Like, who, who is who is the new Led Zeppelin? - The new Led Zeppelin? - Yes. Like, what new artist are you digging right now? Like... [POP MUSIC] DriverX? No, I got my own car. - Am I alive? - Yes. Am I part of the animal kingdom? Yes. - Am I a pet? - No. I could just keep driving Hey I'm still smiling Want you to want me What happened to the dreams? Boys have it pretty lucky, don't they, dad? What do you mean, honey? Because they don't have to be smart. They don't have to get jobs. They just have to get married. - Hi. - How was work? Oh, God. I am so over this job. I mean, I'm glad I have one and everything it's just my boss, oh, my God. Am I being a bitch if I can't stand up when someone asks for something that isn't supposed to be a question but a command? He's always like, "W... Would you, uh mind answering the phone, please?" Instead of just answer the phone. Have some balls and say what you want. Own it. - Right. - Am I being a bitch? No. No, of course not. "Star Wars!" - Oh, is that you? - Yes. - Is that what you want? - Mm-hmm. - Are you my Jedi Knight? - Yes! Oh, you are. I thought so. How did the Pop Fizz interview go? Hard to say. You know, good, I think. I'm twice as old as everybody there. I really don't know if I'd be a good fit. You know what though, they... they need people like you. They need someone who's been around the block. Yeah, tell them that. Do you think you have a chance? - Mom. - A chance? Yeah, yeah, sure. - Okay. - Mom, I made this for you. You did? Oh, it smells divine. Thank you so much, sweetheart. Okay, I want you to eat 3 more beans and you guys can go. - I don't like them. - Oh, come on. Eat a couple of pieces and we'll get outta here. Okay. So I'm starting a juice cleanse on Monday. But 2 days before I'm gonna eat nothing except raw foods. Just salads, vegetables. - Forty-eight hours. - Mm-hmm. Six meals, eight snacks.

You had this uncanny ability to match-make with music. - Thanks, man. - It was a great store. Yeah, it was. I always hoped that that store was gonna be my legacy for my daughters, you know. They'd be able to wander up and down the aisles and... ...pick stuff up and say, "What's this?" Discover new music.

It's heavy, shiny, and when you open it up you hear the, the crack of the crease. You look inside, you can see the band members you could, you know, read the liner notes. And then when you flipped it on the front there's Peter's face, his blond hair. And when you flip it down his hands are clutching that Gibson guitar. 60,000 people at the Coliseum are watching him play and you can feel it. And all that's happening before you even put the record on. You're already experiencing it. Yeah. Yeah? - Fuck, yeah. - Fuck, yeah is right. - I'm buyin' that. - Yeah. Shit. Sold. Amazon tonight.

FYI, this place has been... ...debugged. Huh. Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. Well, how long has it been since your last confession, my son? Is it Dawn? I noticed a little tension over dinner. Look, last year... ...I felt like Jackie and I were gonna split. And we... ...we disliked each other. No other way to put it. We barely spoke for weeks at a time. I thought we were toast for sure. You know, so, we go to therapy one last time to try to save our marriage. And all this therapist really did was give us 5 words for how to talk to one another. I mean, 5 words to save our marriage. Okay, I'll bite. [CHUCKLES] Um, let's say, uh, Dawn is going off on you about... Oh, pick a fucking topic, right? And the, uh, pettiness of her complaint makes your blood boil. Next thing you know, full-blown argument. All you have to do is say... "...Babe, you're crazy but I still love you." Honey, you're a, a raging fucking cunt but I still love you. Sweetheart, I love my beard. I wanna keep it. I will shave it for you because I love you. - Come on. - Fucking works. Honey, I wanna murder you right now but I can't because I hate the idea of hurting you. I just love you too much. See, you can just switch it around. Improvise. But the point is, you finally get to tell her the truth as long as you still remind her that you love her. The therapist explained it had to do with the primitive part of the brain amygdala or lizard brain. Fight or flight. And don't underestimate the power of words. And you don't even have to mean 'em. But I guarantee you once you start saying I still love you you can't help but fall back in love. [SIGHS] You know, uh if you think this DriverX business is gonna help... ...forget it. Yeah. Yeah, I know about DriverX. Didn't you think Jackie would tell me that you picked her up from her cousin's? [SIGHS] Is that why you didn't wanna say anything? You think she's bangin' someone on the side? That would be none of my business. Uh, I appreciate that. Driving's my dirty secret. What am I doin'? At my age. Last night, I almost got into trouble. Like, real trouble. So I don't know. I... I'm just freakin' trippin'. I don't know where I fit in the world anymore. Same old shit. It's called getting older. Hey, think about how our parents felt when personal computers blew up. I just don't wanna give up the reins. I don't wanna hand it over yet. You know, I've been gettin' to know the next generation recently. And I don't even know if they can get their fucking noses out of their iPhones. Well, then it's your job to teach them how. How to live. And don't make fun of them. Help them... ...asshole. [CHUCKLES] - Ow, careful. - No, no, just sit on it. Okay. You... you're not hard yet. Well, rub it a little bit. That's it. Wait a minute. Oh, goddammit. My foot's crampin' up. [LAUGHS] Ah. Mm. - You okay? - Yeah. You alright? - Good? - Yeah. Is that good? Okay. [MOANING] I'm scared about the future. Yeah, I know. Let's, let's say we fix this. I mean, what are we gonna do in 6 months when we have to pay again? I am scared about that too. Hey. Well, for short term we could drop all the premium channels. You know, just go back to basic cable. Mm-hmm. I can get rid of the girls' iPad plans. That's 60 bucks a month right there. Drop down to streaming on Netflix. You know, fuck Netflix. I can go to the library. Long term... - Hello. - Uh, hi. - What's the name, please? - It's not for me, actually. Uh, there's a woman. Uh, she'll be here shortly. - She's intoxicated. - Mm-hmm. Not angry. - She's just emotional. - Okay. Her father got married tonight and it was emotional for her. Right. You mentioned that. Here she comes. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Stop. Are you kidding me? Stop. - Hi. - Hi. We're not driving far. Make the first... You know what, I told you not to let me drink. - Shh, it's okay. - Don't "shh" me! I've got some water bottles back there if you need 'em. She hasn't even been gone a year. - Drink this. - You drink it! - Okay, stop! Enough! - It's just... - Enough! - No, not enough! Yes! Enough! Do you understand what happened in there? Do you understand what happened in there? [RETCHING] - Oh! - Oh! - Oh! - Ugh! - What? - Oh! - What? Oh, no! - No! - Oh, God! Oh, God! - Oh-oh. Oh, God. [COUGHS] Call 911. - Call 911! - Do not call 911. Oh. Okay, honey. Come on. Let's go. Thank you. [CRASH] [SIGHS] [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] [GASPS] Where were you last night? I fell asleep in the car with the garage door wide open. - Oh, my God. - I had an accident last night. You know what, you know what, I can't. I'm sorry. I just... [SIGHS] - Hey, goodbye, girls. - Goodbye, mom. - Love you. - Have a good day. - Okay, love you. - Bye. So how much to fix it? - It's got a lease or own it? - I lease it. Approximately 1600. - 1600? - Yes, sir. Are you kidding me? Why so much? [CELL PHONE CHIMES] Hang on. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] Hello, my name is Doris. May I help you? Uh, yeah. Hi, Doris. Um... I... I'm a driver. Uh, I had an accident. My name is... Please place your thumb anywhere on my screen. [CHIMES] Thank you, Leonard Moore X-rating 2.86. Uh, I'm here a... about... Email sent regarding the back bumper issue. Yes. A... and also the tail light. Did you receive the text response from DriverX support? I did, uh, but even though the trip was completed and there were no riders, I was still on the job. It was green. Be that as it may because you had already completed the trip you'll need to submit a claim with your personal insurance. Doris, I'd like to speak to a manager. There is no manager. We are all simply members. That's great. Um, I... I need to talk to someone. Uh... uh, someone who can help me. Please walk this way. Hello, Leonard. I know why you're here. Let me begin by saying, your profile is quite impressive. A 100% acceptance rate. You're on pace to break the great acceptance streak held for over 6 months by a partner in Seattle. I can see why you're confused but technically, you weren't working for us when you backed the Prius into that pole. We are meeting here today as peers, Leonard. I am not your boss. I'm only your boss when you have riders in your vehicle. At all other times, you're working for yourself. She threw up in my car. And you have been awarded an X bonus along with a free car wash coupon. You are at the leading edge of a movement the Gig Revolution. No more boss, no more 9:00 to 5:00. Work as you please. True freedom. We value our partners here at DriverX. We would be nothing without you. And you are the type of partner that we hold dear. Thank you, Leonard Moore. Thank you. [SIGHS] Hey. Hey. [SIGHS] [SIGHS] - Can I do anything? - I don't know, can you? Hmm? Sorry. I got it. How was work? Not bad. Sort of weird, actually. Josefina started this cleanse. And, I don't care, really. It's just, I just find it a little ironic 'cause she's so competitive, you know. So I just feel like if I start one now it just seems like it's in reaction to her. So, what? I don't know. It's a work thing. I don't... feel like talking about it. What? It's not even open. - You don't have to open it. - Of course, you do. They would have called. [SIGHS] [SCOFFS] I'm sorry. I don't wanna live like this. What do you mean? It means, I don't wanna live like this anymore. Poor? Uh, uh, no. Not just that. We don't get to see each other. I... I barely saw the kids as it is. I just, I feel like we're work shifts and it's... Okay. What... So... so what do you want? Do you want me to work or do you want me to be around? I want you to get a job! - I have a job! - A real job! DriverX isn't a job, okay? I... I don't know what it is. You know what? I'm gonna go off to my non-job job. And you know what I'd like now that I am working? How about you not leave your shit all around the house? Why don't you pick up after yourself? Believe it or not there are 2 people working in this house. Oh, really? 'Cause I'm so messy. You have no clue. And I tell you what, if I have a little extra time I will put a juice machine right next to the bed and shove a fucking tube right up your ass. Because if I have to hear one more time about you going on a cleanse without actually going on a cleanse I'm gonna lose my shit. Really? 'Cause it kind of looks like you're already losing your shit. Fuck. Hey. I... What do you wanna do about dinner? I don't know. Figure it out. There's lasagna and salad leftover in the fridge. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] [CELL PHONE CHIMES] [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] Tom. - I knew you'd come. - Hey, man, you alright? Ah, I'm better now, man. - Get on in, man. - Okay. Oh. [SIGHS] There you go. Buckle up. God! That place was fucking crazy. - Was it? - Yeah, man. It was, like, pretty hardcore aggressive. - And... - Like, uh, crazy what? They're doin' crazy shit or what? I fucking got in there, they fucking grabbed me. Like they grabbed your nuts? No, they like grab you and they're like "Hey, you want to get special dance in VIP room?" - Oh, that's hard to pass up. - Exactly my sentiment. So I was, like, yeah, I'll go. So I went with her into the dance room, in the VIP room and she's, like, dancing and being, like, all grabby and everything. And then she, like, started talking to me about the fees for options. And she was, like, "Uh, we can go to where the manager can't see us for 700 bucks." - $700? - Yeah. And I was like, "No. Wh... what the fuck you talking about?" She's talking about having sex with you. No. That's what she makes it seem like and I was thinking, you know I only came here with, like, $60 in my pocket. So, I was like, nah, I'm married, which I am. And I probably shouldn't be going to strip clubs in the first place, but, you know, it was guys' night. - Guys' night. - Yeah, yeah, of course. And we went to, like, 5 or 6 other places bef... [LAUGHING] What? Oh, shit! When I was in the room with the girl and she was talking to me my fucking wife started calling. - And I was like, "Shit." - No. Uh, s... sorry, honey. I... I can't hear you. It's too loud here in Seventh Heaven. [CHUCKLES] Hey, sugar. How much, how much money you think we can spend right now? No, no, no. She only said it was $700. [LAUGHING] So I just got like 20 bones and I got 'em in ones and I chilled out and then I got the fuck out of there. - Oh, wow, man. - I don't know. I don't like strip clubs, man. They make me feel inadequate. [CELL PHONE RINGS] Oh, shit. Hold on. Oh. Oh, baby. Aww. Hello? [MOANING] What? Wow. [MOANING] What was that? Did you hear that shit? Baby, are you there? It's not okay. - It... it's not okay? - It's not okay. Oh, okay. Alright. Uh, I'm... I'mma be there, uh, super quick. I'll be there in, like, 2 minutes or so. Oh, I don't feel good. - I don't feel very... - Oh, no. - Oh. - I'm sorry, baby. - Come home. - Fuck. She went on a girls' night. [LAUGHING] Of course, she's fucking wasted, man. Oh, alright. - Uh, third house on the right. - Alright. Ah. Oh, uh, shit. I almost forgot. Uh, new music. Mix tape. - Alright. - Oh, hey, thanks, man. Cool. Hey, uh, listen to it, okay? Talk to you soon. Oh, shit! - Uh, fuck. - You okay? Ah, shit. I'm okay. I'm okay. I got this. I got it. Thanks, Leonard. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] [INDISTINCT CHATTER] I think I met a guy who does voices for the show. Which character? Uh, I can't remember. - Maybe Lovie Loser. - Maybe. Hors d'oeuvres, ladies? Hey. Oh! [GIRLS LAUGHING] Thank you. I didn't pick 'em up till quarter to 6:00 That's why they're watching TV. I woke up late. I didn't know where I was, but they're good. Everything is great. - You're in a good mood. - Yeah. I am. Any particular reason? Uh, I can't. I don't know. How much did you make last night? I'm tired of you asking me that... ...but I still love you. I'm sorry. You're tired? - I'm concerned. - I know. You're always concerned. But, I still love you. Why the fuck are you talking to me like that? You're angry, but I still love you. Okay, you know what? What is this? Some technique you got from some men's magazine? I don't like it when you belittle me, but... Oh, Jesus. - I still love you. - I still love you. - I know. I got it. Thanks. - Alright. [LAUGHS] This is so s... stupid. Dinner will be ready in 10. I love you. We are going to Bossa Nova. Sure. I can do that. And from this point on anywhere the girl in the back decides. - Whoop! - Okay. - So how's your night? - It's good. Thank you. And yours? Mm, it's goin' okay. - You have a good voice. - Oh. [CHUCKLES] Um, thank you. Something like, uh... - Like... - Something like a doctor? Doctor. Yeah. - You get that a lot. - I do get that a lot. - That's why you said that. - That is why I said that. - Are you a doctor? - No. No. You said that with a subtext, like, I wish. Uh, no, no, no. It just... Actually, I... I used to be really queasy around uh, blood, guts, that sort of thing. I don't like it either. But then I had somethin' happen to me that, uh, changed it, actually. Really? - Was it a girl's period? - What the fuck? Uh, uh, no. No, it wasn't. - Was that a good guess? - Yeah, that was a good guess. That was a good guess. It was actually when my, my wife gave birth to my first daughter. Uh, I'm in the operating room and the... and the doctor said "Come around and take a look. This is incredible." And, uh, I said, "No, I... I don't think I can do that." You know, I... I didn't know if I was gonna be, like one of those pussy-ass guys who, like, you know, just passed out and, um... But I did. I wound up comin' around and takin' a look and... You know, what I saw was... You know, I'm... I'm... I'm not particularly religious... ...but... Did you see an angel? No, no. But, but what I did see was... I... I saw my baby come out of my wife. And when I saw her head crown... ...it just hit me like a ton of bricks. This is a miracle. I mean, like a real miracle. How is this possible? How? How did I not know about this before? It's crazy. I mean, a human body coming out of a human body. Yeah. Unbelievable. So I... I, I... I... I mean, I... I almost found God, you know? Uh, I mean, right there. You did find God. Your child is a blessing. Trust me. The second one's not too bad either. [CHUCKLES] And the wife. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC] I was lost. They found me. - This is fucking incredible. - You're a good man, Leonard. [LAUGHS] Oh, my God! DriverX is after a shift in thinking. They want the people in the cities to realize that using DriverX is less than owning a car. But so what? The best minds of the younger generation are... are flocking to Silicon Valley and working their asses off, but for what? These kids, they... they really think they're solving a really hard problem. They're just actually solving the easiest problem which is how do you extract money from the middle class and give it to some obscenely rich Jew people. Thought you were in control Thought you were in control With the devil you know You're just so so You're just so so [PHONE RINGING] Hey, man. Just listened to your CD. It's awesome. Oh? Tom?

That should be the rallying cry of Angelenos everywhere because you've earned this. Because you, Leonard... ...are every other dogs' best friend. You're that person, man. Important. The best DriverX ever. Thank you, my friend. Thank you. Hey, you okay? Tom? [SNORING] Don't worry. I'll get you home safe. - Alright, we got steps. - Okay. - Ready, one. - One. - Two. - Two.
