We're joined by New York Times tech writer Mike Isaac, who is also the author of Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber . Mike has been covering our friend Elon for a bit, and he talks to us about the "Twitter Files" that were released at the tail end of 2022, and what Elon's role in handing internal documents to substack writers suggests about his media strategy. We also talk about how Elon's management of twitter is tied into his other business ventures, and that while he might have been good at spinning all the plates before, the reckoning of tech giants might mean the jig is up.
On today's ep we're joined by Mike Isaac, New York Times tech correspondent and author of Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber.

Professor Jeremi Duru, a nationally recognized sports law expert, joins us this week to talk about a baseball-related U.S. Supreme Court case, Flood v. Kuhn, decided 50 years ago this week (June 19, 1972, to be exact). The case sparked the movement that birthed the free agency era in baseball and sports.Curt Flood was an All-Star and Gold Glove center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals during their 1960's heyday. The Cardinals won 2 World Series titles, in 1964 and 1967, and Flood played a big role for both teams. After the 1969 season though, the Cardinals traded Flood to the Philadelphia Phillies. Flood protested the trade and ultimately sued Major League Baseball -- a lawsuit that cost Flood his career.Professor Duru leads us through the background, Flood's career, the lawsuit and the aftermath, ultimately reminding us that Curt Flood deserves to be remembered today as an excellent baseball player as well as a trailblazer for athlete's rights. You can follow Professor Duru on Twitter and LinkedIn.References:Flood v. Kuhn on Wikipedia.Professor Duru recommends: Brad Snyder, "A Well Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sport" (Plume, 2007) for further reading about Curt Flood.Curt Flood's career statistics at Major League Baseball.Check It Out:Professor Duru recommends "Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber" (2022) on Showtime , a series he recently binged, and Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams" ( Scribner 2018).

Avec Super Pumped, Brian Koppelman et David Levien (Billions) souhaitent créer une anthologie autour des figures du monde du business. La première saison est adaptée du livre de Mike Isaac sur Uber. La prochaine est censée tourner autour de Facebook sans être une copie de The Social Network toujours basée sur une non-fiction de Mike Isaac. Le terme d'uberisation symbolise le mal de notre société de consommation alors pourquoi ne pas s'intéresser la personne et à la marque qui ont créé ce concept ? Derrière Uber, il y a Travis Kalanick, un jeune entrepreneur dont la légende raconte qu'en déplacement à Paris, marre d'attendre son taxi, il a imaginé un service de véhicules qui viendrait le chercher là où il le voudrait à n'importe quel moment de la journée ou de la nuit. Et ainsi est né Uber. La saison démarre sur Canal+ dès le 2 juin et sera disponible directement sur myCanal. https://youtu.be/fKX6_LPLXBM Son idole : Mark Zuckerberg. Travis Kalanick veut révolutionner le monde et en créant Uber il a posé une pierre à l'édifice en faisant de sa société l'une des premières licornes avant son entrée en bourse : une start-up valorisée à plus d'un milliard de dollars. Et dès le début de la série on comprend que le Travis, il en veut. Joseph Gordon-Levitt lui transmet son énergie sans faille et il est difficile de ne pas croire à son projet. Surtout quand l'histoire est narrée par nul autre que Quentin Tarantino avec une voix très reconnaissable. Autour de ce jeune patron sans foi ni loi, mû par l'innovation et la réussite, ses fidèles associés aveuglés par l'argent qu'ils se font ainsi que par le charisme de Kalanick, prêts à garder les yeux fermés sur des problèmes persistants au sein de leur entreprise à l'environnement toxique. Kyle Chandler fait aussi de la partie pour faire figure d'investisseur cupide mais avec un sens moral tout de même, ainsi qu'Uma Thurman qui n'a pour le coup aucune morale. La série reste cohérente tout du long en suivant le point de vue de son personnage principal qui va chuter de très haut. Rythmée par les scandales réguliers qu'a connus Uber, Super Pumped réussit à dépeindre un portrait d'un grand garçon immature qui colle au cliché des entrepreneurs misogynes. Une bonne idée ne veut pas dire que l'exécution sera bonne malheureusement. Tout comme les fondateurs de WeWork pointés du doigt dans WeCrashed ou encore la criminelle de The Dropout, l'Histoire retiendra le nom de leurs entreprises associés à leurs échecs personnels sur le plan humain. [bs_show url="super-pumped"] Pour explorer plus ce sujet, un documentaire de France 5 toujours en replay avait également décortiqué les problèmes de l'entreprise. Aujourd'hui, la société a beau être plus respectueuse du droit du travail surtout en France, le manque de chauffeurs se fait ressentir. Super Pumped démarre le 2 juin sur Canal+ pour sept épisodes.

You've got questions about The Thing About Pam and we've got… even more questions! Those questions include: Are we terrible people for slurping down every second of this show like it's a giant generic fountain soda in the clutches of Renée Zellweger‘s fat-suit-clad hands? How should we feel about the complicated ethics of a show— based on a podcast based on an episode of Dateline— that treats the real-life murder at the center of the story like the punchline of a joke? And do the tonal similarities to Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber mean that Renée Zellweger is the Joseph Gordon-Levitt of network television?? Listen in as we grapple with these existential questions, catch up on the latest streaming news, and ponder the future of TV shows based on video games. Plus: There's a new comedy streaming on… Grindr? Sure, why not! ———

On our latest episode of Bingeworthy, co-hosts Mike DeAngelo & Rodrigo Perez dig into Showtime's new anthology series, "Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber," which tells the story of one of Silicon Valley's most successful and most destructive unicorns, Uber. The season pivots on Travis Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Uber's hard-charging CEO who was ultimately ousted in a boardroom coup, and his sometimes tumultuous relationship with his mentor Bill Gurley (Kyle Chandler), the plainspoken, brilliant Texan venture capitalist who bets his sterling reputation on Uber's success – and then has to live with the consequences. After the initial intro and discussion of the series, writer/showrunners Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Executive Producer Beth Schacter (BILLIONS) stop by to discuss the show and why these stories, like Travis Kalanick of Uber, keep popping up out of Silicon Valley.

This week we're reviewing Showtime's Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber and we're so pumped we might say “super pumped” even more times than Joseph Gordon-Levitt does in the pilot. But first, in the news: We're super pumped for the Peacockalypse (coming this fall to Hulu!), but we're super NOT pumped about Disney CEO Bob Chapek's pathetic response to Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill. And only time will tell if we'll ever be super pumped for streaming news services like CNN+ and Peacock's new “MSNBC Hub on Peacock” (in case you weren't aware that it's on Peacock). Oh, and for some reason Chris's Roku wants him to know that Judge Jeanine Pirro has a thing for American castles (of which there are… many?). ———

Washington Post editor of technology coverage Christina Passariello speaks with Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Beth Schacter about their new series, “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” which looks at the rise and fall of Uber's former CEO Travis Kalanick.
[This episode was originally released on October 16, 2019. We are re-releasing it in anticipation of the premiere on Showtime of the original dramatic series based on Mike Isaac's book. More new episodes are on the way!] For a few years after Uber launched in 2009, it seemed like the on-demand ride-hailing service might be an advance in the war on cars — a way for more people to share fewer vehicles and to reduce overall automobile dependence. Fast forward a decade, and the rise of Uber (along with Lyft) has instead resulted in increased congestion, reductions in transit ridership, and the exploitation of a precarious workforce that the company would love to make obsolete altogether. In this episode, we talk with New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac about his new book, “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” in which he chronicles the rise and fall of Uber's co-founder, Travis Kalanick. We hear what Mike has to say about the cult of the founder and the way Kalanick's winner-take-all mentality has negatively affected the streets of the world's cities.

Adam Neumann, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home (eight of them, actually) and a happy (if slightly hyperactive) disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived forty years in the world with very little to distress or vex him. In the summer of 2019, he was presiding over the most valuable startup in America: WeWork. To the cynical, it was a glorified desk rental company. To Adam, it was the company that would “elevate the world's consciousness,” broker Middle East peace, build offices on Mars (presumably with the staple WeWork perks: ping pong, cold brew, free beer), and turn Adam into history's first trillionaire. But then the searing sun of reality melted the wax that held his wings together, and he plummeted to earth, the value of his company going up in smoke behind him like a contrail. The story of Adam's spectacular rise and calamitous fall is the subject of a new book called “The Cult of We: WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the Great Startup Delusion.” It was written by two Wall Street Journal reporters, Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell. Their real-time coverage of Adam's erratic behavior and flagrant self-dealing helped to hasten his demise. In this episode, they speak with Mike Isaac, author of “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” about hubris, greed, tech culture, and bad judgment.

Since its launch in 2009, ride-hailing service Uber has undergone major shifts to become a worldwide transportation network despite severe setbacks. Harassment allegations that led to the firing of 20 employees and the resignation of former CEO Travis Kalanick publicly embarrassed the company, yet Uber has grown to become the highest valued private tech company in Silicon Valley. In his new book, Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac delves into the ambition, excess and massive loss of Uber and Kalanick over the last few years. Isaac has nearly a decade of experience writing about technology industry in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has spent the past few years covering the controversial ascent of Uber and the company's issues of workplace harassment, sexism and allegations of misconduct that reveal the problematic work culture of Silicon Valley tech companies. Join us as he narrates the deception and bad behavior of Uber that culminated in one of the most controversial periods in American corporate history.
