I'm sorry, I'm distracted by your fingernails.
I don't know.
I took a girl to butter nails.
I'm fucking 5 foot 10, 4 inches taller than you.
Smoke show.
Wait, can you just show?
Did you guys ever resolve your diamond tooth incident shit?
That was fucked up.
That was really fucked up.
I've been busy, dude.
That was just, that was like when I was like, damn, this guy's not a real friend.
I got him a real tooth.
I got a call at like 8 a.m. Eastern.
Like, I just woke up.
I think he was still up.
And he's like, bro, I need your help.
Like, no, Steinie.
He calls me at 8 a.m. Eastern.
So I knew it was 5 a.m. Pacific.
And he's like, bro, I need your help.
Like, I have fucking dick diamonds in my tooth and shit.
I don't know what to do.
I'm like, dude, are you really asking me this right now?
He's like, banks.
Like, I was like, dude, I don't know what, like, what's happening in L.A., bro.
Insane.
But, uh, all right, boys, we got a great episode today.
Been a lot.
Yeah, we're rolling.
Oh, amazing.
We've been rolling.
Yeah.
Long time coming.
We got Banks on the pod.
We got Jesse back.
Stiney Brad
We gotta do a little
Just reminiscing
This is fucked
This is dope
This is insane
You guys on the same couch
Incredible
We're sitting right now
In the sub-a-thong house
The Faze house
For anybody who's new to me
Or what I do
I'm a founder of Faze clan
Alongside Tommy
Apex Raine
And we just
We just hit the reset button
On this bitch
Recruited a bunch of new kids
20 year old young kids
And they all do the streaming shit
And they just streamed for
fucking 30 days
24 7
So did they all stream?
Yes.
Every day.
Every single day.
24-7.
They're ending in a little bit, and I told them to walk on and say hi to you guys, whenever they end.
So when they're sleeping, it's just rolling.
It's just rolling.
Are they doing shifts?
Yeah, Jason has like 3,000 people watching him when he's asleep.
It's insane.
That's wild.
That's fuck.
It's wild, bro.
How do people just watch that?
Guys, so I'm a YouTube guy, too.
The whole culture of it, I never understood the live streaming shit.
I was always a guy who's like, why would I sit through an eight-hour live stream when I can just wait for the recap?
highlight later and watch 10 minutes and get the best parts but it's a whole
culture like the Twitter comms the chat it's so engaging and I think that's why
like YouTube like your guys is fans our fans YouTube fans have always been the
most like intimate electric engaged because if you could sit through a 20 minute
vlog you love the person you know and you know a lot about the person and you're
probably willing to buy their merchandise you're probably well you want to see
them win they're part of your fucking day to day they're part of your family this
streaming shit is that
Times fucking 10.
Why do you think it's so big now, I wonder?
Because people have been streaming like for a while, right?
Like people have been doing IRL streams.
People have been doing IRLs though and shit for time.
I don't think.
It's the clipping meta.
Right.
So clipping changed the game.
TikTok, clipping changed everything.
For the longest time, content on the internet stealing someone's content,
ripping, blatantly ripping content and reposting it, no, no.
You can't do that.
We'd get pissed.
Of course.
But when it's an eight-hour streamer and you have fucking a thousand kids hustling and finessing
and clipping little viral moments
and slapping them all over TikTok and Twitter
these things go viral
and it's directly marketing your stream
it's part of the formula too now
100%
like even the fans who are getting engaged
with the content or the streamer
are realizing they can make real money
working with these people or clip like
helping these people get these views
so it's changed it entirely
it's almost making the audience
a part of the business in a sense
it's fucking it's crazy
and clippers get paid if videos are more than a minute
on TikTok only? I have no idea how the bit
it depends so there's no like right exact
but everyone kind of deals with that
sort of aspect of the business differently
but like you know there's certain people
to pay X amount of dollars for a certain amount of views
and I think people are starting to understand that
so like I said it's like you have the fan bases
now feeling like they're a part of not just the content
because they're watching so much of it
but they're also part of the business side of it
which by the way they are
wait and I have a question then
do you think that that's a rigged system
in the sense for if there's new streamers
trying to start out and they can't pay these clippers
to do it they're at a huge disadvantage
we're not paying anyone
oh you don't no if you produce good enough content
the clippers will come
because they want to
farm views
so if they can get views out of you
Oh okay
Steinies like fuck up in addition oh bag
There's streamers out there
That have like Toggi told me
I pay 20K a month for
Correct but my guys
We don't pay anybody anything
We just produce the best content
Like competing kind of like
Yes
It's like like they want their own little rat race
Yes
The viral clip
Yes
There's like guys like Yoxic
Shout out Yoxic Scoobor Ryan
Fucking Fear Buck
All these guys like
These guys are a part of the fucking
phase fold now at this point these are random twitter accounts that just mitchie lull massachusetts
to shout him there's all these guys and as far as the community aspect of it yeah you create a
fucking environment where you have quite literally thousands of people because everyone wants to be a part
of the lore create the the next big meme you know what i mean like it's on steroids because the
shit is just go go go that's why they're so engaged that's why it's not just simply sitting and watching
an eight-hour live stream you could sit and while you're doing your homework watch a live stream
half ass or you could be engaged in it
have Photoshop open you're trying to fucking
you know clip you know what I mean
It's also background noise right
Like how we just have MTV on all day
Dude I was never a fucking stream watcher
I never understood it in this
I've been glued to the sub-a-thon bro
I've been fucking gaining weight getting fat
jerking off cooning and watching these kids
And sometimes in a reverse order
Like
Cooning is like like the most degenerate way you can watch porn
Yeah what is that
25 tabs open blackout curtains
haven't slept in three days
laying on your back,
laptop on your tummy
and just cranking
edging, edging, edging,
getting there and like stopping yourself
and then you keep going.
You're still jerk free?
Nah, you're so jerk free.
I used to goon though, apparently.
I don't know.
Big gooner.
Is that like not cleaning up?
That's all the testosterone.
Guning's a negative, I thought.
I mean, yeah, I kind of is.
For a guy like you,
maybe not, I don't know.
It's a basis for you, bro.
Yeah, that's so that you're day-to-day.
All right, boys, perfect timing.
The Mecca.
of fucking sports is back hockey's almost back playoff baseball is fucking on champions league we got
football college NFL everything's back it is the time to fire on prize fix we've been firing
multiple times a week we've been pretty hot honestly so boys if you guys have not for some god
weird ass reason downloaded the prize fix app download it right now and plug in code nilk if you
put in five bucks with that code you're going to get 50 bucks free so that's just a steal
boys just five bucks and you get $50 it's that easy no strings attached use code nilk i love prize
picks because instead of choosing teams you're choosing individual players you either go more or less
on the set projections on prize picks stack a bunch of picks up together the more you choose the more
your picks going to multiply i love firing this way it makes watching the game so much more fun but yeah
now we got football back that was good but now we got hockey back basketball's going to be back soon
and playoff baseball one of my personal favorites to fire on that will the prize picks app use code nilk
Let's get to the episode.
Me and you, Banks, we did a pod on mine, like, time ago,
and you were talking about how you were like, watch what's going to happen.
Is this more or less than what you thought was going to happen?
A hundred times more.
These kids have exceeded every ex-a.
How could they have not?
It's like, it's insane.
Like what you said, like, Jason, like, are they at a disadvantage if they're a smaller streamer?
How does a smaller streamer break in?
We recruited Jason into the team.
He had 3,000 subs on Twitch.
To put that in a perspective, phase adapt, who hasn't picked up a camera or been in content for years, started streaming basically this epithon, he has 30,000 subs.
Wow.
$5 a sub, phase adapt.
Jason just flipped Kaisenat and Jenksie has over 100K.
This fucking kid just became the biggest streamer on Earth in the last 30 days.
So he's past Kaysanat.
He just flipped him yesterday.
Just a number of subs.
This is going to go over your guys' head.
I'm speaking in a different language right now, but Jason has the W&L community.
face community on lock because he's with us but he's also hyper tapped into that poggers community
like cutie cinderella falcarray pokey main he's doing clubs with them ludwig that side of twitch
and streaming love him and it fully like embraced him and adopted him into their shit so you got
that entire community who's hyper engaged like that's like the o g twitch community you know what i mean like these
guys have been like more of a on this side like more of like i don't know like liberals like a little bit more
nerdy like you know what i mean it's just like the ogy twitch shit like these guys are veterans
and laid the foundation of Twitch
like have been here forever
and also the crazy rich Asian vibe
like the motherfucker he's got like
he's doing all these
boba tea reviews and going on sushi dates
with like ABGs and shit
and like reacting to like
K-pop and shit you know what I mean
like J-pop whatever the fuck
so he's tapped into these three super hyper
he got 40,000 subs
in the last two days alone he's going
right now this moment he's going
fucking bat shit crazy
bro flipping Kai and jinxie like
that's ridiculous
The guy like that is he doing who's helping him with his creative or does he just do what he believes me and Ray and the other boys like this is we're back bare bones this is the team the team is what you see on camera bro
It's the production. It's the five or six production guys behind the cameras and then it's me Ray and fucking and them and every sub is five bucks a month. Yeah. That's fuck crazy. It's insane. They they they collectively brought in like 360 go grab them. They they they ended not too long ago go go grab them. Let's just how
Should we bring them on?
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Talk about it.
So what's the biggest accomplishment just so we know out of the whole sub-a-thon?
Jason.
Jason getting, Jason hitting a hundred days.
All the other guys still went crazy.
Dude, fucking Plackboy Max is at 70K.
What are you at, Ron?
65,000, like, collectively they've, they brought in 360.
Well, no, you said 35 million views watch two or something?
35 million hours.
Bottles on phase tonight, eh?
Oh, yeah.
Holy shit.
Cracking.
Except I'm broke.
They're all rich, but I'm broke because we don't take any.
Any, you know, so I was going to ask you.
Yeah, we're going to talk about that.
We'll talk about. We'll wait.
We'll do the business after.
You guys need to meet you guys specifically you too because you're loki a fake ass, half-ass note boy.
You guys need to meet them.
What's up with the shade, dude?
It's just true.
It's like two and a half men.
You just gas up all the new guys and then now you're going to fucking throw the same.
I'm obsessed with you.
I love you, you know.
No, I don't do that fake shit.
That was fucking good.
Two and a half men is crazy.
All jokes aside, Steinie is one of the only people that.
has any sort of presence or does content on the internet that I hang out with outside of the
internet. And that's a fact. Yeah, yeah. That's real. Yeah, yeah. Nice guy.
Steinie became a star pretty quick though.
Steinie's a superstar. Facts. Yeah. Oh, look at that. He loves that. Let's go.
The chest kind of big. What the fuck? Have you ever thought of that doing like full sign? Get a
house. Get streamers with younger kids. Yeah, I was going to ask banks how he.
Anytime you want to tap in. How he chose them. But we'll do it after. Yeah. It's also,
Nelk's so precious at the same time.
So it's like, I don't know.
I would do it if I saw kids that, and I'm not throwing shade.
I know there's a lot of young kids on the come up, but I haven't seen, I feel like what
we did.
Of course.
It's like once in a decade type of shit.
And it's like, funny enough, we did it with New York and 12 years later, we're doing it again.
It's possible.
I think it's a good idea.
Wait, real quick, before you bring them on, just because I'm curious and people for I want to
know, how did you assemble this group or how did you?
So we already had Ron.
Yeah.
We picked up Ron.
We bought it on Ronaldo very low.
He was at his lowest.
He had like 200 subs, but he was very phase.
Like, I love this kid, Fortnite Pro, really fucking, just phase.
The kid was phase.
And then, um, rage, your rage gaming.
One of the biggest streamers of all time.
One of the most legendary names in streaming, very established at the time.
I personally didn't want to recruit him when we did because phase was in shambles.
I'm like, we recruit this kid now.
He's going to fucking hate it.
Yeah.
Yeah, bring him in.
Fuck it.
Ron, you sit right here.
Ah.
I got to get this.
Hold on.
I got to get it.
the boys the clip jason i gotta put this on real lacy we got to set the record for most boys on the pod
right now too this is insane so yo these boys like i just said just streamed for fucking 30 days straight
24-7 all sixes one let's all give it a round of applause for the boys let's go we're in the house
we're in the house that we did it i'm so beyond proud of you guys i've said it 25 000 times um
but i just needed you guys to meet these two guys specifically you don't have to pay attention to this guy
as much but jesse and kyle over there why don't you guys tell these guys how we all met us three i mean
fuck i think it was when i mean it was at the peak of the cloud house era and i think me and jesse were
on a road trip with 905 i think we were back from boston but this is when banks was like your
vlog was going crazy it was like jake paul versus banks it was like the height of that cloudhouse era
i think we were on on the way back from like a boston road trip and you just tweeted at us you were
shouting us out in your vlogs and we would see it and be like damn that's crazy like banks
is shouting us out it's amazing and then you just tweeted out us and you're like yo you guys ready
to move in and we're like what the fuck it's amazing like we were still living in canada at the time too
right adap was shown love i remember adapt was one of the first people to oh no i totally forgot
i told the story before but i remember meeting adapt actually put me on to that's a fact that's a fact
i don't think i ever said that publicly but you to give you the flowers for the knelt guys
You put me on to these guys
You guys were getting I think 200,000 views of video
Some shit
Was that VidCon too
Your video's mad long ago
It was calling in sick to work
And then I made one
And I...
That's crazy
You guys made calling in sticks to work
Places I don't work at
And then I made one
And didn't link your video
In the description
And y'all got mad
No you did
Oh we did
You comment it on it
And then I like switch it
And then like a year later
I told you to pull up to Newport
When you guys pulled up to Newport
I forget what
video we did when y'all were out there i don't remember and then after that you guys went
and moved in with rickie insane and we were all roommates we were all roommates we had the three
that was an insane era wait i lived in that crib yeah you did seven years ago yes bro seven
five yes yes bro jason was dead ass 12 years old oh no no 2019 i actually was he was 12 years old
when that was happening how insane jason was shooting blanks though oh yeah i was shooting blames i
even know what jerking off was that's fucking crazy it's insane i i vividly remember standing in line
to get food with you guys somewhere and you guys in the background i hear you guys talking about
this manager who's trying to who's trying to lock down the trademark for full send
merchandise yeah and he wanted he wanted to own like 50% of the trademark or or i heard you guys
say some crazy number and i fucking flipped a 180 told you guys to mute the fucking phone and and
And I get the fuck off the phone.
Get off the phone.
And we talked and I told you guys, you guys got to get rid of this guy.
He's a fucking psycho.
But no, yeah, we wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for you, like adapt and all of phase two.
Like you guys brought us in and fucking made us family in that house and shit.
And like, there's no way we would be where we are without you boys.
It's insane.
I love you guys.
And you guys deserve it, bro.
Every fucking second.
What I saw in you guys is the same fucking thing I see in all these kids.
And it's just, it's that, that X factor, bro.
like that this person has what it takes you guys are on your own shit on your own time unapologetic you're
not flipping for anybody for nothing i always i bring this up in meetings all the fucking time
how the merch numbers you guys were doing and that fucking crib when you guys when you guys went
from not making money to make to getting fucking nine dollar youtube checks when you're getting
millions of views of video to making fucking eight figure fucking merch drops it's like actually
insane but what it was is you guys your fans knew that you guys were struggling but you guys
didn't switch up you didn't change the content you said yo this is this is where we need you guys
to step up and show love to the boys and show support yeah and they fucking came through crazy
like it's like the best marketing just the story just to be you dude just to be you worked it's
crazy you know so some of the guys in here right some of the guys who are current right what
What do you think is the most important thing, like, to actually really connect to their audience now on the live streaming?
Like, what do you focus on?
By being, like, authentic.
I would say, like, authentic, keeping it real.
Because, like, I don't know.
It's just, I'll be authentic.
Make the viewers relate to you.
It's like YouTube content, you know?
You won't want the people, like, what you would want.
If you were the viewer, like, whatever content you watch, you want to replicate them in the sense.
You know what I'm saying?
If that makes sense, like, I don't know.
What do you think, Sophie?
Come up here.
Come here.
See, that's me.
I farmed it on his lap.
That's me farmed a clip.
That's me farming a clip.
So basically me personally, I feel like you just have to just grind and stay consistent
because I've been on, I've been, like, in both boats to where I was, like, inconsistent
and consistent.
And now I'm in, like, in that whole different boat where I'm actually consistent because
I watch these guys, like, grind and I watch them, like, go, like, just stupid and I was
like, like, damn, like, I used to, like, do that, like, back then.
And I got inconsistent at a point in time.
just like everything slowed down from me and it was like damn like how do I get back and I'm just
watching my brothers go up and I'm like they want me on board we're going up together everybody's
going up together it's like it's inspiring it's so it's like when you watch other people
younger you people older you they're watching people inspiring and you just can inspire people
together and you're so on the money too you're the only thing stopping you from being the fucking
biggest and where you're at is being consistent yeah that's you that's your battle that you have
with yourself everybody's different same shit on YouTube
You've got to be consistent.
That was always my downfall on YouTube, in and out, sporadic, whatever.
Jason, what do you think?
I'm going to have to piggyback of what Ross said.
Authenticity, being genuine with your viewers.
Like, if you promised one thing, I mean, I was scammed a couple times, but, like, for the most part, you promised one thing.
Say, oh, 20 sales, I'm going to do this.
Or 20K sales, I'm going to do this.
You do it.
You know, your people is going to keep supporting you until you reach insane heights.
That's the thing.
it's like it's all live stream so it's not cut up so it's like being when we say be authentic it's
like if you even like say anything that's like not like morally not morally be yourself
just weird it's it'll get clipped it'll get posted everywhere and then it's just like it changes
a lot of people's perspective on you there's probably times where even like stupid shit like this
like when we when i took your hat like i'm not an asshole right but like the clip made it seem like
dude i was gonna say didn't that that was jokes though yeah that's what i'm saying like even
and shit like that.
You guys are good?
It's my dog, though.
That's my dog.
Okay, okay.
Ron's like eyeing your hat right now.
He already grabbed this shit.
No, but like they'll see a clip and then it could change like a whole perspective on how people view you forever.
So it's like being authentic on stream where it's always live and you can't cut it up is like it's a big thing.
One thing from my perspective on the other side of the screen, back to piggyback of what he just said.
I think it keeps you guys honest too.
Like this 30 days, bro, being Kyle, Jesse.
Stani's not really a YouTuber
But you guys
Being live on a camera
For 30 straight days
24 7
Like I'm blowing my fucking brains out
Yeah
Like that is insane
And obviously came to L.A
We would have did it
You know what I mean Kyle
I was that
We first came to L.A.
And that was the thing
We would have
Granted it to
I get it
I grew across the country
And in the car
filming videos in each state
Yeah
By yourself not making no money
Off of your videos
That's the ground
What do you guys
What makes this group
so special and like why has it worked?
I think what makes it so special is how all, how different we all are while still being
like how similar we are, if that makes sense.
So like we all come from like different backgrounds.
We all are different people, but it just works.
You know what I'm saying?
And we don't even have conversations, but what he just said is 10 out of 10.
And in different words, I say the exact same thing.
What makes phase special what phase is and has always been?
original phase the first era of phase we weren't even on camera we just trick shot it on call
a duty call a duty clips my best friend in the world was a little muslim kid named phase apex was
five years younger than me he's in an arranged marriage now he's like super to the faith best guy
i've ever met my life doesn't swear doesn't curse me and him were best friends if we walked past
each other in the street we would have nothing to talk about we relate in no way but he was my best
friend. And what connected us, it was the common denominator, which was trick-shodding.
The second era of it, me, adapt, rain, Tommy, Blazigan, Sensei, Tico, oh, am I missing?
Tommy, Cheo.
What made us all, what, yeah, Nikon, what made us all, our common denominator was being
homies and coming from that gaming, that gaming sector, being fans of the game, all of us from
different walks of life.
This same shape.
You guys are all streamers.
You guys live for this shit.
You guys are super passionate about it.
But at the same time, you guys are from all different walks of life, all shapes and sizes.
And it's fucking special, bro.
Are you picking, like, the characters almost, like, say you're doing Jersey Shore or
Jersey Shore the show.
And they're like, you want each part of the Italians that make a funny show.
I mean, you definitely account for, like, a lot went into this, a lot of time, effort.
I said this on the award show yesterday, but, like, every person we asked,
Ron's not new.
Ron's been on the team for two years, more than that.
than two years and rage has been on the team for over a year but these guys jason silky lacy max these
were the four new recruits we didn't ask anyone besides them and they all said yes we didn't need
to convince them of anything ron's the clip and and o g Alex is the Alex is the oh gee ogy
Alex used to be the dumb little brother am I yapping no no okay Alex used to be you're yapping a little
bit Alex's your thing bro I'm being honest yeah well you told them earlier you
You got to smack the shit at this time.
That's my boy.
That's my boy.
Alex used to be the dumb little brother who, like, was learning how to do life based on what we taught him.
Like, I taught this kid how to literally do laundry, how to cook an egg, how to brush his fucking teeth, like dead ass.
Like, Alex, tell them.
How to brush my dad.
No, I mean, when I moved into the face house, originally I was 17.
I met you when you were 13, though.
I met Ricky when I was a freshman in high school when I was 13 on the game.
We just both like trick-shodding.
We like making montages.
We were in a team called Source.
Shout out to Sorin.
And he joined Faze, recruited me to Faze.
We got the idea for the Faze house after, you know, sitting on Skype, calls, trickshodding on the game to, like, 4 a.m.
every night.
We're like, let's just get a crib.
And I'm sure y'all know the story from there.
But when I first moved into the house at 17, yeah, I had just graduated high school.
I didn't know shit about life.
All I knew how to do was fucking trick shot.
And there's no gaming houses at this point?
Like, you guys kind of started that?
It was definitely phase
Phase was one of the first ones
There was like Optic kind of
It was doing it but it was more like a pro
Like they were playing pro call it
It wasn't like they were vlogging shit
Yeah we did content like we were vlogging
We were doing all sorts of different shit
Rage get the fuck in here
Get on camera
Me and Rage are low key
The same human being
It sounds insane
Rage please
Yes or no
Vouch or no
Brought some weird shit
Wait why did you say it like that
Too many
Yeah I'm like
I mean, the mentality, yeah, I guess.
What the fuck?
No, we do, we do, we really do.
This motherfucker is the goat.
We built this whole squad around these two.
So it was about, back to your point,
stitching characters that could work with them as the core, right?
And their vision.
And obviously getting there, like,
we're excited about this is the only way that it could have worked.
And then finally, Max, if you can follow Max,
this motherfucker's always had superstar potential.
His community is one of the most potent,
um well recognized things on the internet fucking five star i got a star tattoo on my face for this
motherfucker this motherfucker owns react the whole react world and the music world the underground
fucking hip hop scene i got i got i got motherfuckers like cardy and yeat and the biggest names in
music talking to me about black boy max they all know who this motherfucker is they're they got all
eyes on him we talk in the background about content IP like on the radar and fucking
double excel freshman freestyle
like what DJ Khalid's done
in music and how DJ academics
helps fucking distribute music and Max
has more potential than all these motherfuckers
combined in my opinion
um what
no he meant no he didn't mean you guys
I think he meant the other
I think he meant the other like music people right
I don't know he wasn't talking about y'all
academics and shit
yeah you guys you got
what the fuck I'm talking about Callid and shit
chill chill
That did sound crazy though
That did sound crazy
Nah, but to that point
Y'all are really a team
And we got to see this shit
In real time
And it's like
Anytime I've watched these guys
Catch themselves
Because it's not easy bro
They've like blown up to a whole new level
Overnight and they're all really young
And their bank accounts look a lot different
And their follower accounts look a lot different
What's up with this guy?
What am I?
He pocket watching
I haven't slept to like three days
No
No, I was like four
Did you guys have to do a test
Like kind of all see if the chemistry worked and shit
We just fucking ran it
Now there was kind of two sides to it
So it was you
Black and the white side
Oh shit
It's like that
Like a race war
It was
And then one two three
Fuck
Before all got locked in
I made sure I did some shit
Yeah of course
Of course of course
Of course
Bro there's a clip of you talking about Jason's next up
That's the me shit though
Like me and you are the same
I love to say yo you're
I love that
I'll be talking about that for the next 10 years of my life.
So, wait, wait.
I said it.
I called it.
So how do you, how do you, so you guys both are good at that.
Historically, you're great at that.
I've known that.
How do you know when someone has it?
You guys should listen, listen.
Like, when you're just talking to a dude, you know, watching his content, you've seen
him on stream and you see, like, the passion, how natural, it's really about how natural
it's really about how natural it comes to someone.
You can tell when someone's not forcing it.
They're not thinking too hard.
They're just naturally entertaining and they know what to do.
They know what's entertaining for other people.
And so as soon as I did streams with this.
And everybody else, I'm like, yeah, they got it.
These dudes, got it.
It's how you play off certain shit.
It's how it's, you could just tell when somebody knows.
Like, even when I did my first sit down with you and Lacey,
I'd never been on a stream before that in my life.
And I sat down and you're like, oh, he's good at this.
You know, I'm a clip farming without even know what the fuck that means.
You know what I'm saying?
And like, it's just one of those things like, you either got it or you don't have it.
And every single one of you guys individually has superstar potential, 100%.
And that was, that was the baseline, huh?
Least favorite.
This is a star favorite.
This is
Least favorite.
That's fucking
Why am I catching shade from you?
You know?
That's fucking.
He said
Who's just not in?
Like they're all dope
But like who's not
pulling the weight as much
As these guys sitting here right now
It's like not even
Just one.
Say a name.
Fuck it.
It's not a cop out
I'd probably say myself to be honest.
Don't don't.
I feel like you want to say silky.
Thanks.
I'm clip farming.
No,
no.
Silky.
Silky is fucking
quickly climbing the charts.
I don't know,
man.
I don't know.
I really don't.
I would never say you.
Where do you see you taking it, Banks, like two, three years from now?
It's, this is phase now.
So as much as phase is mine, phase is all these guys, and it's on the fly.
Like, we really don't get a chance to talk about business or the future or any of that.
We've kind of been on go content mode.
Since we kicked off, we actually just talked about going on like a little three-day retreat, no phones, no screens.
We need that.
Go in the woods and just whiteboard, a chef, maybe a couple hoes, and just fucking.
Talk.
Yeah, baby oil.
Yeah, talk for like three days, ID8, lock in, what's the future look like, what's
business look like, you know what I'm saying?
Because that's the thing.
That's what I feel like I have, and Alex has to offer these motherfuckers.
Yeah.
And like what I could offer you guys, like what, like the role that I played in your guys
is early, the earliest stages of you guys.
Now for these guys, it's on fucking steroids.
Like I've been fucked, left, right, center.
I've been here and here, 2,500 times.
exactly what works, what doesn't?
What?
Sus, zesty.
Come here, Rich.
Yeah.
Be diddy, be diddy, be ditty.
Now, so, well, you can finish your point.
I don't know what I'm saying.
So on that point, though, business-wise, right?
Because obviously, phase went to a point massive
and then it had the downfall.
How do you avoid that now with the group moving forward?
So just like life, it's ups and downs.
It's always gonna be ups and downs.
Like there's gonna be times where all of you
individually wanna quit and maybe you have to.
Maybe you have to step away for a month, two months, six months, a year.
But that's also the beauty of what phase is.
That's why I'm sitting here right now and anyone gives a fuck about what I'm talking about.
That's why I never gave up on this phase shit.
Because at the end of the day, this web that we've created, this community will always keep our names and our presence on the internet somewhat relevant.
When we hit the reset button and kicked everybody out, the whole internet turned their head and looked over at it and had something to say about it.
And on that note, it wasn't anything nice.
People call me fucking retarded, said that phase was over, fell off, irrelevant, who the fuck is Max, who the fuck is Jason, Lacey's fat as fuck, um, silk, who the fuck is silky?
They did say all that.
All that shit.
Ugly, ugly little dude.
Crazy.
Ugly little dude.
That's an ugly little dude.
Ugly little dude.
A big dude.
A big dude.
Ugly little dude.
Um.
And yeah, in fucking six short months, everyone's mic's on mute and it's fucking up.
Like, it's undeniable, bro.
Like, these kids are the biggest thing in streaming by fucking far,
producing the best content.
And, yeah, I don't know.
It just works.
It's one of those things.
It just, it works.
How to prevent it.
It's just on the fly.
When the board's asking us, me and Ray, what's the fucking two-month content
playing six-month?
What's our content calendar looking like for the year?
It's like, are you guys fucking retarded?
This is day-to-day, homie.
We're hitting reset.
We don't know what's next.
Who knows?
And they look at you like,
so we're going to commit to a half a million
dollar house and this and that we don't know what tomorrow that's not how it works bro because this kid
could fucking you know what i mean yeah it's just it's it's in it's in flow it's real you know what i'm
saying it's just this is what phase always was and it's you're fully focused on just building the
engine like getting just content content market yeah putting these kids on game to everything that me
alex rugrat did the wrong way and fucking you know watering the shit that we did the right way and
watching it grow anywhere we can fit in and help
So for the boys
What was the hardest part of the sub-a-thon
Any point that was like really bad
The chat was the hardest part for me
Because you got to understand
30 days straight of being like
Made fun of harassed
Fucking told you're an idiot
You're a fat loser
Trying to get them like they purposely
No bro
They purposely try to get me mad on perfect
No he does that
They do that
I've seen him do it in real life
So annoying after 30 days straight
A real big dude
You'd be getting rage baited
Too easy.
Lacey.
Now that your com is on your ass.
Lacey.
Always.
Because you're showing them.
I know.
Lacey, you be tweeting.
You know what though?
You play into it, though.
You farm the engagement,
but then it goes a little too far.
It's crazy, bro.
The delicate process of how these guys
interact with their communities,
it's fucking insane.
You'll see comms.
You'll see five star and fucking NMS.
Fuck these fools.
We hate these fools.
We hate these fools.
Fuck Max.
And the next day, it's cool.
They got to pick a target, new target.
Yeah, it's insane.
Yeah, next day it's Jacks.
It's crazy, bro.
So, Lacey, though, keep it real.
Did you take a Zempick?
We just got to know.
We got to clear the air.
You'll never be the time.
Go ahead.
No, actually, that is a random fucking lie
that Ron just made up on stream one day
as a troll.
And for some reason,
it got like 6 million views on TikTok
and now every single comment section
is, oh, he takes those Zempic.
Yeah.
Well, to be fair, I just want to say
I've seen you at the gym the most,
not that they don't go,
but I know you're serious about it.
So, like, speaking to, like, what's actually happening, I see you doing it.
So I'm ripping ass in zoo culture?
No, no, no, not ripping ass.
I just see him, like, really.
No, this fool is.
He's shit in your gym.
Bro, he was putting the bike to his ass, whipping ass.
I didn't see that.
I just saw you pushing the sled.
I was like, good words.
Crop dusting.
Girls are alive.
Like, you're a psycho.
He was going to your gym just to take a shit.
Yeah.
Oh, nah.
Nah, he was in there doing a sled, bro.
I was in a couple of shit the first day I came there.
Oh, I'm glad.
I'm glad, yeah.
Zuse's a good place to shit
Yeah, it's a good shitting play
Yeah, the motion sensor
Why's Jason shit like this?
You gotta go like this
Jason's...
Hey, you won this last night
Stop your bitching
He won the Golden Boy Award
The biggest award
And because of the pure fact that he does
He is the butt of a lot of jokes
From the guys, from the comms and shit
He doesn't let it affect him
Even though maybe it does a little bit
Sometimes you're a human
But Lacey doesn't complain
He's the fucking honestly
the glue that holds the shit together
anytime someone's down he'll come in cheer you up
dude look at our life it's a dream come true
this kid started out
as a donator and clicks his chat
yeah so a professional
four-night player a professional dick rider
text the speech
perfectly timed jokes and the chat
fell in love with him he became a
a character in the in the clicks
universe really I didn't know that
never docs himself never came on stream
and then he did one day
yeah you guys should go watch his interview
You guys should honestly
deserves a whole own podcast.
You guys and some of these guys
It's fucking
It's insane.
We could do a whole show
Just with you guys
But we should probably
Fucking
Wrap it up maybe
I'm at the gym work
Yeah anytime
You're very impressive
I'm not gonna lie
You are
Why?
What's good tonight
Are we firing or no?
Let's run it
I'm down ripped
I haven't slept in fucking two days actually
I've been watching
Some of the Sub-Athon clips obviously
And you have guys
That are getting
100,000 subs, some getting maybe 30,
but there's no ego involved in everyone
super supportive. So how did that happen? I don't want to be that guy, but
not yet. Not yet. But that's why
banks, I think, is going to be obviously so important
is because
you need that, you need the godfather to kind of keep
everyone in check. Again, I have, but that, that in
itself is obviously going to be a task in itself. I have every
right and I have the most, I have all the risk. These kids respect me
on a level. I didn't think it was possible.
it made signing them super easy it made it makes you know putting them on game and giving them advice
super easy because when I talk they really fucking listen because what makes me a very unique human
being on this planet for them specifically that's that's you can't really find anywhere else
is I am you but in the future you know what I'm saying I am you without a me and I remember
thinking so much through the last decade like dude I just wish I had someone to ask yeah is this
right does this make sense yes or no and another thing I wish I did more
was trust my fucking gut but that's a whole other fucking
someone who's been there and done it yeah exactly
learn all the lessons and it's like I have nothing just like with you guys bro
and I love the clip I fucking obviously I bring you guys up a lot
you know what I mean like when it's time to sell like the vision and shit I'm like
yo for what's worth look at my track record bro Tifu
fucking Nelk you guys are always Aiden Ross
these are always the examples I bring up and it you guys have made me look like a
fucking genius you know Tifu Aiden shit like that makes me you know
You know what I mean?
It makes it a lot easier.
To me, it was always obvious because I was always around that if you weren't the one behind the steering wheel, that it was going to kind of tip off.
You know who said that to me too, not to continue, because I know this is a fucking bank's glaze session right now.
Which, by the way, I appreciate it.
I appreciate this a lot because, and I hope you guys know this and would vouch for this.
I do not move for money.
I do not move for followers, clout.
As a matter of fact, these two things most of the time make me feel very uncomfortable.
what I appreciate more than anything
is just the fucking flowers
and being appreciated by my fucking peers
and my friends
and putting people on game
and like in helping people
if I can help somebody make a fucking million dollars
it doesn't matter if I have 10 bucks in my bank account
like I'm like that feeds me
it feeds my fucking soul
and um I mean banks could have probably got a percentage
or something like for what he did for us
like at the time like when you put us on like but he didn't
that's something to maybe revisit huh no
it wasn't even it wasn't even a question man
let's not talk about percentages
just with you.
I gave up on that conversation a little time ago.
No, at the time, to be honest with you guys, listen, listen, to be honest with you,
but this is the thing, Aiden's like, I want to join Faze, I want to join Fais
and Fais was in such a bad point that I literally told him, no, I won't allow that.
I'll let you rock a phase chain, you can sit in a phase chair, you can, you can show love,
you're not joining this, this is a session.
But that was a real convo you guys had?
I thought that was just like, yeah, oh, 100%.
Wait, bro, so we have that, I lived with Aiden, we had that conversation many times.
But like, recently, or this is time ago?
No, this is a while ago.
Oh, okay.
Now we have it, and it's a different, under different context, business shit.
Like, how can we make plays together?
What do you think made you?
Well, if you guys, I would, I would preach in these meetings with the fucking phase CEO and the fucking, like, yo, guys, my house.
Come to my house.
What I'm doing right now is we own the internet.
Like, if we can't offer you guys something, if we can't add, like, there's no issue with splitting up money and everybody getting paid and everybody eating.
As long as everybody's putting in the work and the effort, nobody's ever mad at that.
I'll give.
I can get 20% increase in value from somebody at the cost of 10% that's what
business is at the end of the day right and these guys just didn't see the fucking
vision they didn't trust you know me and and to be fair I'm a much different
person now than I was then I'm sober almost two years I'm fucking fully off
nicotine all my bad habits I'm trying to fucking curb them all and and take you
know image we talked a lot about this on our show yeah and yeah no it's just not
Yeah, I mean, what they said about it being live, like if one, if there, if somebody senses, somebody's
jealous of somebody else, which definitely happened during the thing, the comms explode about it.
You get called out on it.
It gets clipped.
It gets put under a magnifying glass.
And it's like, dude, don't be a hater.
Don't be a weirdo.
And it keeps these kids honest.
That's another thing about the stream shit.
That's interesting because you're getting real time feedback as opposed to YouTube where we're like kind
of doing it every week or less than every week.
I'm sure when you guys were going through your shit, I'm sure there were times where you guys
were on camera together and you didn't necessarily want to be.
And that's normal.
You guys are brothers and you guys came up together and that's just, that's life.
Same with me and Rice.
Same with fucking me and Alyssa.
You know what I mean?
But what we always had the luxury of, dude, if me and Alyssa's relationship was live streamed.
Oh, fuck.
Come me.
I would be sitting here right now.
You might be more of a beauty, honestly.
Yo, live.
That's actually a great idea.
Imagine you get like kind of a degenerate type couple.
Like if Bob had a live stream of him and his girl at all times.
You're like a little puppet, like a, like a, um,
Dude, you have a finger nail painted.
Wait, wait, we should, we should, we should, we should clip.
Go get your chrome hearts fucking dildo.
I, before this podcast took a fucking five foot 10, four inches taller than you, smoke show.
And got your fingernails painted with her.
Yeah, I did.
Okay.
And that's why I do what I do.
And that's why you do what you do.
What does it?
What do I do?
Wake up in a fucking house.
Pipe slam pigs.
Yeah, it's true.
Whatever.
We're to ski bros, 100%.
Yeah.
100%.
Yeah.
No, I love you.
Okay, well, can I go back to what I was going to ask, so what, what do you think made you take your foot off the gas kind of like back in the day?
Was it like the personal shit or is it just like?
I can't again move specifically just for money or I could give a fuck about a follower, right?
Love the supporters.
You guys know what I mean when I say that.
If I'm not having fun, right now I'm obsessed with this.
So I'm going to learn everything about it.
I'm going to be glued to it.
Nonstop, 24-7.
I am hell bent.
being the best at it. If I'm in anything, whether it's partying, girls, fucking trick-shotting,
if I'm involved in something, if I don't think I have the ability to be the best at it, if I'm not
100% in, I'm out. And I live like that in every aspect of my life, whether, again, it's drinking
and being fucking a bad kid or, you know, the productive stuff too. It's, it's my biggest strength,
but also my, my biggest downfall. And to answer your question, if I'm not in it, I'll
disappear into a cave not post on social media for a year and just hate it and just like wait wait for an opportunity to fall in love of something again you think you like underestimated how big of a role and how important your role was when you were like bringing in other partners like did you think definitely that like oh I could trust these guys and I could step back I still to this day have crazy imposter syndrome where I wake up and I'm like do I know what I'm talking about like am I fucking did I get lucky in this like this could all go away tomorrow like it could be done whatever um and back then
you're a kid who knows nothing and again you have nobody in front of you to ask to reference so you're
learning shit in real time and then you have a bunch of scumb bag like the guy who you guys were
dealing with managers who are 27 28 years old who are whispering sweet nothings to you well there's
another guy in the cloud house too right that fucking who from europe or some shit too oh yeah yeah we can't
say his name no yeah but yeah that guy stole all my shares like i i i only got my shares in phase
reinstated right before we went public that guy yeah dude the fact that you
guys met that guy is fucking nuts because he was coming for 50% of our shit no shit no no shit oh on the low
i think i mean right yeah that's insane i didn't even know that until right now no no no nobody does
he's lucky nobody does but i want to ask you something that's crazy going through the old phase
and then assembling a new phase what was the biggest takeaway or like you knew you couldn't when
assembling this new squad you learned from the old band on like what like what like non-starter
like what what i need to do yeah what changed and we were like you know
this can't happen again or this has to happen.
Staying true to it and staying authentic to it
and not listening to anybody else but us.
You know what I'm saying?
Like we need to clear house.
We need to fully reset, wipe the slate clean.
And I'm done being told no.
Like, with all due respect, it's,
I'm going to trust myself and this vision
and we're going all in on it.
And if you don't fuck with this vision,
if you're not in line with this,
respectfully, see you at the top.
Like, and it's not for everybody.
You know what I mean?
Our team went from 120 people
burning $6 million a month.
to now it's 10 members that are like kind of front facing and fucking 10 people on the back and by the end of the year we're going to be cash positive so yeah it's like it's it's just me and these boys and another thing too it doesn't work unless these guys have a stake in the bigger the bigger vision the bigger pie these guys have to own phase these guys have to be fucking phase the sideman or the sideman am p is a and p you guys are this because it's yours you know what I mean it's in
authentic it makes no sense let's pay you guys a hundred thousand dollars a year to pretend to
fuck with this brand it's it's that's what phase's model was for a very long time it just
seemed like no one was driving when i was going to the face uh warehouse there and like i was
like writing shows and stuff with some guys but it seemed like no one was like guiding the ship
yeah like everyone was like 25 cooks in the kitchen and when we sit down to talk about what to do
well when money when money comes in it money does kill everything everything
in terms in terms of content that's going to be the big conversation i have
kills everything yeah everything well these kids how much do they make it now i mean we could talk
about it this month alone yeah so combined combined total i don't want to talk about individuals
but combined total they brought in like 12 million that's fucking that's absurd
in a month yeah yeah have they gotten paid yet um i don't i actually don't know how it works
i'm from twitch i'll see the fucking driveway when those checks come through but that's the thing
i think that these guys pretend they're broke like that i think that's the meta i think that's the
fucking you know aiden ross love you to death that kid is my fucking brother and i'm so happy for him
that kid is a beautiful use case for what you know an incredible story looks like rags to riches
doing it all on your own paving the way but you know he caught that fucking fat steak bag 50 million
dollars and his content changed a lot and it's gonna change a lot you give a kid that that young
he's still hot right of course he's the big it's the biggest thing yeah hard to be relatable
Aiden created a whole thing, but like Aiden, in my opinion, has more potential than anyone.
I think Aiden could be doing speed type numbers, could be doing, you know, Kai type productions and streams.
And, yeah, it's how, how do you, how did you, how did you, 50 million dollars is like a retiring, like, I can call it, now I get to really do what I want type number.
And when you're that young and stuff and don't have the perspective.
It's just different too.
One thing I learned too is like when we always talk about like the merch numbers and stuff like that too.
I think when you're, like, in that zone, you're not even, like, really realizing, like, what's going on.
Like, now that I look back on it, I'm like, we didn't really even know what was going on.
Like, we did and we were so strategic.
But at the same time, we also didn't know, you're learning, it's not normal.
The magic, the magic of when you're not making money.
Yeah.
It's just like, because you're hungry.
It's like, if you look back to like our Europe trips or something, it's just like, it's different too.
You have to eat, bro.
You have to eat.
There's like you get an Airbnb and like people are sleeping on the couch and shit and like you're sharing a bed.
And it's like there's a different level.
Then when you get money, it's like, I'm not even taking a shot at you, but like everyone wants first class or like everyone needs their own room.
Like, no, that's not a shot at Stiney.
That's a shot at like myself even.
But I said, this isn't a shot at you.
If we're going to curl up like a little cat in a car.
No, no, no.
But I'm just saying like.
Xanax in a live flat is the greatest thing a whole time.
That's true.
But yeah.
Yeah, you're grinding and doing everything at that moment when you don't have the money or you don't.
know if it's going to work. I think that's the big thing. You don't know if it's going to work.
Like yeah. It's not for sure. Talking about that. I clip farm by the way. They didn't make like $12
million. They made like a couple million. Yeah. We knew that. Going off what he was just saying though,
were you surprised or pissed off how many people were starting because you said earlier a lot of people
were saying like, yo, phase is not going to be able to come back. They're done. A lot of people
counted you out. Was I pissed? And it seems like you came back and said, yo, fuck you guys. Wasn't
pissed at all. Because what that did was set the bar to literally zero. Yeah. If I went 10,
percent i win 20 percent i win we didn't go 100 percent we went blasted through the roof this
shit's at 500 percent of what i expected it to be and it's like you guys made make me look even
better like you guys are making me look like a genius when really i'm a fucking one-trick pony
half-retarded kid on the spectrum who likes to fucking do drugs and fuck hose
are you a internet wizard you're like i love you so much like the guys too man
Brad too.
Brad's like done it all himself.
You guys are fucking...
Brad's been in the game for a minute.
For a long time.
Brad's very smart with social media.
By yourself.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Your own thing.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a shot.
It's true.
You guys are fucking...
Because when I met you guys in 2017, I already had the gym.
Yeah.
It's great.
And you guys started working.
I remember I'll never forget the first time I've met Steve.
You brought him over there and he was like, you know, I want to do a bong rip off the, like,
bench while he's doing the...
It was crazy, man.
And these calls, how many times I've said content IP, product.
I mean you guys I reference happy dad your guys is merch shit and your come up and happy dad is I
reference consistently you guys have no idea how relevant your guys's story is in my life and my pitch
and everything that I'm doing it's like this is how we turn this into a billion dollar company
it's it's content IP and product IP and for the remainder of 2024 the 2024 game plan was
we're not worried about money we're worried about reestablishing community and and a
squad of people making real content doing it the right way all right boys you guys are seeing me
in the gym I'm always looking for healthy snacks and I want to let you guys know about board jerky
this is one of my favorite healthy snacks straight up I eat this all the time we got a bunch of
different flavors terriaki spicy fire my favorite is peppered this is my go-to snack
I keep it in my backpack when I travel always on airplanes I'm snacking on this what I love
about is the macros are pretty fired it's only got two grams of carbs per serving three
grams of fat and then the whole bag has 32 grams of protein you guys have seen me recently I'm trying
to stay in the gym trying to stay in shape and when I'm always traveling in the airports and stuff
like that there's a bunch of garbage snacks with shitty macros so this is reliable for me I know that
it doesn't up the barrel too much and it's high in protein I've always loved beef jerky too
and this is literally the best beef jerky I've tried if you don't believe me try it for yourself
thank me later everyone that tries it loves it it is amazing quality beef jerky
It's available right now on Amazon.com.
The reviews are going crazy.
Everybody loves it.
It is fire beef jerky.
If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.
Go to Amazon.com.
Try out some board jerky.
Like I said, my favorite flavor is peppered, just because the macros are fire.
Keep the barrel in check.
Protein up.
Let's get back on the pot.
How do you keep these kids like on track and on a part of phase?
It's like the Tifu situation or some shit like that.
And like, that shit I've dealt with too.
Like, do you ever get sick of kind of managing?
Managing people.
It's awful.
It's actually awful.
But as you do it for longer and longer,
like you guys would vouch that I'm,
what I say I mean, right?
Tifu would too.
Like Tifu didn't have any issue with me.
He had an issue with Faze,
which is understandable.
Aiden, same way.
Like, my intentions are very, very pure.
And all I want to do is fucking help.
And if we can break bread on it,
whatever,
that's up for me to be able to figure out, right?
And for as much credit as you guys have given me
and the internet's giving me right now,
these fucking kids,
I got incredibly lucky with these kids.
max is a fucking superstar in the making honestly he's a superstar right now the kids down to sleep on the
floor on the couch doesn't give a fuck these kids are all down to fly economy they don't care the second
that i see it start to veer off path it's just about grabbing somebody and saying letting them
reminding them yo you're living and your dream come true right now this is what you prayed
every single night for do not spit in the universe's face and fucking and disrespect this
moment don't be a fucking cry baby don't be a fucking prima don't be a fucking prima don't
expect you know what i mean more than what what's given to you you know what i mean you you get what
you earn and everybody holds their place and everybody keeps each other accountable so that's your
role just big brother i think so yeah reminding them that you know the roses
cubby fucking bill bellichick vision what's next you know what i mean and um yeah i got let's let's
speak to the just the evolution of like youtubeers and youtubeers making products you saw recently
um i think mr bs logan lunchley they got all the shit for making the product of course what's your
perspective of that because obviously as he seems grow. I think it was a really poorly timed product
launch. I think that and again I use prime as an example a lot. Prime is going to be studied for
decades to come on what a 10 out of 10 launch of a product looks like. Logan Paul KSI. They
garner the attention of the entire internet. The entire world is tapped into this drama,
this beef. They are physically fighting each other multiple times. This is year long beef. Years and
years and split right down the middle which side are you on who do you think's going to win who do you
want to see win right and then someone comes out victorious underdog story kSI logan paul gets humbled
which everyone wanted to see that and then logan paul takes that as a humbling experience puts
his pride aside daps up ks i and says yo let's go into business together and drop a fucking
gatorade uh competitor let's take all this energy that we're putting toward each other face
forward and give these guys a product
and that's exactly what they did and it was
launched at the peak of both
of their individual success
at the like
it's a master class
it's a masterclass like it's a masterclass
it's a masterclass and you guys
it was all we talked about this
the rona room they showed you guys no love
it was fuck corona make your own shit
you know what I mean and you guys did it
and it's like that is the
the like you guys also
crush it lunchly like
Mr. Bees is wrapped up in this fucking
Chris Tyson
Yeah
Mr. Beast
The entire time
I've been on the internet
And you guys too
Has never received
Any sort of hate or criticism
Because he's a great fucking guy
Like honestly that
That's a whole other conversation
I don't think he deserves
Any of the fucking
Shit he's getting right now
Maybe some like it's okay
Like
But people are dogpiling
And taking the views
And playing the fucking game
And you really see people's true colors
And like
Second it becomes a trend
Of course
And people see it's getting views
They're gonna keep doing it
People pretend like
It's like
This like
moral thing to do and like it's their duty to do it but like let's be honest if this wasn't getting
views you wouldn't do it or if it was if you know what I mean if you weren't like hiding in a crowd
of everyone hating you you wouldn't do it because nobody has done it um but then Logan Paul too
and KSI like KSI's more on the outskirts but like Logan Paul's wrapped up in the coffee Zilla shit
they're just all dealing with their own shit right now and then they launch a product like lunchly
which I don't think it's really that offensive to be honest I think people way overreacted to
to that in my personal opinion
I'm talking about the health benefits stuff
Yeah it's like well anything
That's why I love that we're in alcohol
Because it's like
Yeah
It's not fucking healthy
So people can't say shit
But they could do any product
And they're gonna get hate for it
Like someone's gonna call
If it's a healthy product
Yeah
But any YouTubers gonna get healthy
Like you really shouldn't probably
Drink and anything besides water
Right at the end of the day
And it's like
I don't even understand the hate
What the energy drink
It's like keep that same energy
With PepsiCo and fucking lays
And like bro
It's just because those companies
Have existed for so long
Exactly
It's like it's socially acceptable
That's why casinos
in Vegas, no one gives a fuck.
Make a video on McDonald's, though.
But steak is, like, demonized and, like, ran off, like, you know what I mean?
It just doesn't make sense, but it's real.
McDonald's, dude.
Like, these are, these are companies and corporations and entities on some
Illuminati shit that own planet Earth.
They own this rock that we spent on the entire thing.
And no one's has anything to say about it.
Some kids who created a life from themselves on an iPhone are the fucking worst people
ever.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I get holding people accountable and this is probably going to get clipped and I'm going
to get shit for this and people are going to not, like,
what I'm saying, but it's like, I don't know.
I think it's so whack to hit on anyone who's successful.
It's fucking weird.
Like, finish.
Drug-free.
I am drug-free.
I am not on that, so shouldn't you be sleeping?
Caffeine, and I'm locked in, bro.
It's been the last couple days of the sub-a-thon.
I also, it's, we just got through a pretty hectic weekend.
You're a beast.
I'm just checking it on your sleep habits.
No, I know.
It's bad.
You guys know.
No nicotine?
Me and you would always see each other.
Fucking 4 a.m. in the kitchen.
Making turkey sandwiches.
Facts.
Yeah.
Late night.
Can I tell you my favorite thing?
I'd come in the morning.
So everyone would have Uber Eats, but then they'd like, we're talking like 300 people
would order Uber Eats and just like not even opened just bags everywhere.
And I'm a little kid.
I'm like, bro, come home upstairs like 4 a.m.
And I just pick up like Chinese food, burgers, this, wings, go down, grab a ranch out of the
fridge and fucking go to my room, fucking eat all that shit, pass out.
That house was fucking insane.
I have the sign in my room.
How many people in the like the world get to live in a,
fucking house like that yeah
I'm kind of bummed I miss that
that's a good era
great era um how did you get yourself
involved in all this LA beef here oh yeah this is good
LA beef you got LA beef mister I'll walk down
Melrose naked is that what
at the end of the damn clip farming
like I get it um
like this fucking the side of the internet
that these people live on first of all I don't even know who
the fuck's mad at me I've lived in LA for eight
years I love LA
you know how many people talk shit on LA
and like Miami's better this and that I'm ride or die
for L.A. L.A. is literally my home. I love it here.
And Aiden lived with me in L.A.
So I hear a half-ass conversation
about Aiden's not good in L.A. I call
them. You know what I mean? And people
take it and just go crazy with it. I'm not
fucking tripping on it. It's like, yeah,
what can you do? Yeah. Someone pulls
up on me, what can I do? It's,
it's time, you know?
Why, what's going on? Wait, what do you mean? I love that.
I love that. Someone pulls up,
what are you going to do? Fucking blast me in the back of the head, it's
time for me to go. Is it that kind of like
hate you're getting? No, it's, I'm, I'm,
You've got real street beef.
I'm exaggerating it.
No,
it's fine.
At least,
at least if you get smoked dying,
your chrome hard's best.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Oh,
I might,
Chromeheart's bulletproof vest.
That's,
bro,
there you go.
That's crazy.
No,
if I do die,
I need to be buried
in a chrome casket,
and I need somebody
to kill Stiney
and throw them in the hole with me.
That's what I want.
It's my dying wish.
All right.
I'll go with you.
No,
I love you to death.
No,
it's not,
it's nothing serious.
Listen,
anybody I've offended.
I love L.A.
It's that simple.
That house is wild, though.
Yeah, give us the craziest story or something.
I know there's some we can't speak.
We can't.
I know exactly what you guys just thought.
We can't say that one obviously yet.
There's one Steve will do it story that.
Oh, God.
We can't say now.
Steve knows it.
When can we say it?
Probably one happy dead cells.
Yeah.
That's fair.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Even like three years after that, just to be saying.
We might have to, you know, you know how the old TV shows would have reenactments?
Oh, yeah.
We have to do one.
Yeah.
We have to fully do the whole thing.
Who's going to play Steve.
like someone Lacey
Lacey just gets kind of
kind of ripped and just like Steve
What was your favorite moment of that
The big fight
What the one where I like ran on the table?
When you jumped off the fucking table
Crack somebody
An unnamed football player
Knock somebody the fuck out
Everyone's throwing hands
There's a full-blown world star
By the way, the fact of that
2024 that happens
There's 25 angles of this
I know
On every corner of the internet
I have a video of it
Do you?
We might have to bust that out
I watched Jesse on top of a fucking on top of the kitchen island kick somebody in the fucking head sicko literally
You get down like no no one would actually fight everyone would always talk about it and then like those guys are the tats
Who were there's some rappers friends yeah let's leave their names out of it probably but like yeah they were like bro go get my gun and shit
We're like get the fuck out of our house this day was Niger you yeah it was fuck I remember I dragged one of them down all those stairs no one's even watching
and I was probably only doing it because people were watching.
That was fun, though.
That show was surreal for us coming from Canada, too.
Like, Uzi would just, like, come to a party or fucking...
That for me, I'm in L.A. for three months.
I spend all of the money that I have to my name on this fucking house.
With this vision of I just got to get to L.A. and make it work.
No way.
I swear to go on.
Yeah.
I had, like, 15K to my name living in that house to, like, live off of.
Like, fuck it.
Take a shot.
Fire.
Fire.
Yeah, that house wasn't cheap.
You know what I mean?
That was fucking crazy.
That was a lot.
Rice cum comes in visits for a weekend.
I go to fucking Target.
I get a little R-shaped light, put it next to his bed,
a little basket with sarah and gummy bears and shit.
Siked out.
Make sure the maids make it nice.
Put fucking flower petals over the bed.
He comes, never leaves.
That's step one.
Boom.
Alyssa Violet comes through the crib.
Trying to make a song with this kid about somebody Jake Paul
I've never heard of in my life.
But here's this beautiful girl who's showing interest in me.
What is my life?

the first time meeting her

even know oh yeah we were drinking a lot then too we were ripping we were
Tell me sex stories and shit.
It seems like the new phase is way more cleaned up
and less degenerate than the old phase from what I've seen.
Yeah, to put it mildly.
Like, holy shit.
You got Jason Levine ripping one shot of fucking Hennessy
and bawling his eyes out, thanking the whole world.
Like, it's insane, dude.
What was that one crib that you guys used to have?
That's, I mean.
Flyborn.
Yeah, that was crazy.
The best house in L.A.
That was fucking.
The lake.
The lake one?
Yeah.
The party's there were wild.
The worst content house of all time,
at least the phase renders.
of it um but best house ever there was a lake in the backyard and shit dude if we had that
house that's yeah no weed lake weed lake was unreal though dude i have the sign above my tv
in my bedroom i saw that that that is all that like beber's old house or something like that
it was he stayed there which is crazy full circle sammy and johnny like that's crazy um yes
but nobody like really knew obviously it wasn't going on house oh pipe house became a thing
in that house after us tana moved in that house after us like and
Now it's a sober living.
That's what hilarious, really?
Wow.
What a timeline.
Even the house got sick of the alcohol.
Wait, someone else told me that.
Thank you for, you saved my ass that one day when I flooded the neighbors.
Oh my God.
You had him on the cold.
Honestly, not even me.
I can't take credit for that one.
That's Fush all day.
No, he said, you both saved me.
Yeah, he saved me the night, not going to, like, jail.
But then I was losing my mind.
There was all the side boys in that house, too.
Fush, Mitch.
Yeah, they were like ghosts.
The side characters.
Like, Fush would just, like, come out when you.
The best boys, though.
Poker nights.
Best boys.
Nasty poker nights.
What did you do?
You flooded something?
Yeah.
These houses all looked identical.
There are all these big glass houses.
There's like four of them.
But if you don't know any better, it all just looks like one big house.
It's football.
You want to tell the story?
You should tell the story.
I've said it.
I want to hear your perspective.
I've saw this clip recently.
But I just been yapping so much.
You went into the neighbors and flooded it.
Or you thought it was your crib, right?
Yeah.
Do you remember the night we were at a club or something?
And then I blacked out.
Yes.
And you went off on your own.
Yeah.
hide.
And then I got told that I was like,
we were at hide, right?
Yeah, that was Jesse's go to.
You would get hammered and just dip every single time.
It's why I don't drink, I can't.
I swear you got in a truck.
Am I making that up?
Jesse was in the pickup truck.
The fact that I remember that is fucking insane.
Well,
that shows how much of a core memory it is.
It's crazy.
The next week I went to like other parties and like a bunch of people kept
being like, yeah, dude, you were at my house and your shirt was off.
I'm like, and he's like, yeah.
Those nights are wild.
We had a lot of those.
Oh, yeah.
But anyways, after that night.
Jesse shows up at probably six, seven in the morning to the crib
And walks into the house which he thinks is our house
And goes up to the kitchen
All these houses look exactly the same as each other
So he goes up in the kitchen
Especially when you're black
Start digging through the fuck yes of course
Bro chocolate cake
Yeah fucking I'm eating everything
Eating shit out of the fridge with his hands
Going in the sink fucking around
He's got chocolate all over his mouth
His guts hanging out
Whatever
Easy fuck
Well back then turns on the same
You look good now
Yeah you look fucking fan
Fantastic, by the way. I think you clogged the sink and then passed it on the couch and the sink overflowed
Into the kitchen and then this fucking guy by the way. What the fuck was this guy on living in the crib by himself? This is like a $60,000 or one house
Finds him on the couch and obviously freaks the fuck out fuck out and called the cops
There's water everywhere and this mother. Oh my god. I'm sorry and foosh when the cops came I think was like
They were bringing you outside. He's go. He lives here for
Bro, I woke up to the fucking cops.
Like shotguns and shit.
Like they thought it was a home invasion.
Yep.
Talk about scary.
Insane.
Insane.
Shit.
Wait,
where's gambles?
I've never actually,
that guy the next morning hammered.
Bangs on my fucking door.
Police.
Open up.
Bro, I'm in my boxers in bed.
Wake up.
I swear in like two seconds.
I put on pants in a shirt like I'm going to prison like sick.
I put it all on open the door.
I'm like beat red.
He goes,
I'm fucking with you.
What's up?
It's insane.
I'm like, dude, what the fuck?
Do you know what I'm going for me right now?
That was some trauma probably. It's not even a joke.
I'm still got anxiety from the shit.
You went to a ditty party?
Like honestly.
No, so I sat outside.
You were definitely invited, right?
No, I sat outside of a ditty party one time and they wouldn't let us in and fuck this party.
I'm watching the types of people that are walking in.
It's like, how long ago was this?
I'm with five girls and like one homie and like we're good.
We'll go to like my house or fucking.
We went to a ditty party.
Yeah, technically we had.
Yeah, probably.
What?
When was that?
Dude, a lot of people did.
I forgot.
So this is the.
And this is a crazy story, too.
The first time we ever went to L.A.,
like, we somehow got into a Diddy party.
And I was like 19.
Yeah.
And like Justin Bieber was there.
Jesse has that.
Sounds like that's what they kind of want.
Kendall Jenner was there.
And I swear to God, we had like a solid like five minute full conversation with
P. Diddy.
And like everyone was around us like watching.
And we were telling him about the Coke prank.
And like it was just like a.
So sick.
Were you invited to the AP or not?
I didn't see anything bad at the time.
Bro, now I think about it.
Remember when he was like, yo, come give Diddy some love and I hug him?
He did say that.
That's crazy.
There's no game of hug.
He asked for a hug.
Because his bodyguard like hit me in the throat because he went to go talk to him and I was just like following Kyle.
And a bodyguard stopped you.
Yeah, you like fucking hit me in the throat.
And then I'm like, I'm like, I'll walk away.
And then did he's like, is that your boy or something?
It's like come give Diddy some love.
Yeah.
Swear to God.
And I blew him for like.
Did he?
What do you mean?
Did I?
How long was the hug?
Was it like a.
Weirdly.
Long hug.
Was it sensual?
Weirdly long.
Again,
it's crazy that there's no video of this shit.
It's wild.
And then they were filming too.
That was like,
there's a video of the party.
It shows the party and like Kendall,
it shows Kendall Jenner and I'm just like at the front smoking a dart.
Can I ask you guys something?
And feel free to tell me the honest God truth.
But this is another thing I say a lot and just like my day to day with like friends and shit.
When people ask like,
but the story and the come up in L.A. and stuff, 2016, 2017, 2018,
Hollywood
have you guys ever been a part
of anything like that in your lives
no like that's that's the
that's peak existence right
because it was all house parties
in terms of like a movie
like like this is unreal
like I'm in a different world right now
that was our era
like there's like entourage era
like that was sick
the 90s and 2000s
but then it was like
I'm so glad we got to experience that
that's when content
and everyone was starting to take off
so yeah so yes
that whole fucking even that that
internet
2016 double excel list with oozy and yadi and 21 savage on it like in kodak black like music that sound cloud era street wear it was fucking babe supreme you know what I mean all these things going at the same time vine people turning into YouTubers us doing our thing like people were flocking to LA and shit was just ripping dude and I swear I don't know if I'm like remembering it different or like it's that nostalgic effect but I swear it was you can wake up at.
any point in the day find some crazy shit to go do every and it's not like that anymore
dude hell no i think well you guys are here it's like that anymore anywhere not even just things to
do it was like you'd go for five minutes to a crazy rager and be like this is dust jerking off into
their own mouths and shit did he come you diddy some look like that shit would happen every day
like yo you'll never guess what happened like i know that happens for you today and it's
the crazy thing that happened to you all year i think i think it was because of the blend of
social media in hollywood just that was they first started really being like oh there's something here
And they started to recognize that
And then so then the social media people were finding themselves
In those circles
Was the explosion? It was that content explosion
Like what people know
It was the building blocks
And the foundation of what we know
Internet culture to be today
Yeah exactly
How music is and how fucking you know what I mean
It's crazy
What do you think about the nightlife now?
It's pretty shitty huh?
I think nightlife in general is dog shit
Yeah just isn't the same
I think night life in general is a joke
I think sign and bottle service is so
Played out
Stop doing that
If you're building a club
And your goal is to make your spot
the cool spot
if you're fucking filming yourself
with a sign and bottles coming out
you're a fucking clown
and like if you're paying
20 30 40 bans to sit at a table
with a bunch of sixes fucking streets
Well once they allowed everyone
to be able to pay and do it
It became like
It's just everyone now everyone's sitting around
You take now I'm sober
So I have this whole different perspective right
I could have fun alone in a closet
With my fucking left hand
If I'm fucked up on us
Yeah yeah
Ripping ripping ripping
But now I'm like looking at shit
For what it is
And it's like you look around
No one's fucking
dancing no one has a personality it's like every sign comes out has an at symbol and then they're
fucking like dude no one gives a fuck about your instagram homie like i know i'll tell you what and this
is just when i lived in miami when we used to go out there yeah like bro people dance chicks
fucking have fun miami's it's it's it's because it's because it's all a latina it's a different
culture it is and here when we it's pretty dark out and it's just like bro this uh it's awful
yeah but no i don't do anything anymore it's loungy it's like it's like i i put a
collection of like the horse race thing that just happened and then my buddy nikolai marciano um family
owns guests guest jeans kid throws some of the best parties of all time in l a and still still he's
still got it um but you can still go to clubs and party even if you're not drinking right now i can
now i couldn't for like the first like three four months i was sober no i walk in it could be the
coolest thing ever and i'm i got i can't yeah i never could figure that out i just can't for me
AA and just therapy general therapy changed my whole life like I worked really fucking hard
to retain all the best parts of me because for me I don't know about you speaking for myself
the hardest part about getting sober I never have like physical addictions to shit I wasn't
boozing alone it wasn't like that dark I wasn't like ripping lines alone it's community
shit it's but when I'm doing it we're doing it you know what I mean like if I'm ripping I'm ripping
the hardest like no one's out doing yeah pink shit all over my fucking face
Whip it's going nuts
You're either 100% in 100%
Or 100% out
I think you're kind of similar
I mean I think a lot of creators are that way
Yeah no it's just
Because we're so extreme
Like it's just such an extreme
Because are you like that with diets
Are you like that with everything?
Relationships
Yes bro everything
You're in or you're out
That's it
It's also the fact you don't have to wake up
And go to office the next day
Yeah
When you're your own boss
And it's tough
It's scary right
No it's insane
Is there any
What's like the
You probably have something
But is there any crazy
iRL or stream that you want to do or want the guys to do that you think would break the internet
that you haven't done yet so i remember i remember pitching aiden on the idea of look at where
youtube's at right now the level of production your guys his shit is the level of production someone
like air rack or mr beast pro mr beast is spending millions of dollars on a youtube video
if you told anyone that that's what youtube would look like now 10 years ago they would
fucking laugh at you and tell you you're insane production slowly but sure you're sure
And then it's not a studio doing it.
It's like it's him.
Someone who built a YouTube channel.
He's pulling in 50 to 100 million views of video, probably even more.
Maybe I'm getting that wrong.
But it's like it's working, right?
Twitch and live streaming is so far behind in terms of production value that it's only a matter of time before.
Like if there's a show as big as Oprah's show or Ellen show or the late night show or all these shows that are super big and very hyper-relevant pop culture, are these shows going to.
spawn on TV?
Are they gonna,
are they gonna become things in for on YouTube?
YouTube right now to me
is like the silent
it's a lot more quiet than live streaming
like live streaming is
every other,
every other piece of media
like that's,
it's podcasts and fucking live streaming.
You guys got into the podcast shit
at the perfect time.
No, I think that that's also
because not every YouTube,
YouTube's once a week
when you're live streaming and it's daily.
Yeah.
There's just too much content out there.
Pumping.
Yeah.
It's just clipping that up.
There's so much shit up there,
so you can't compete with that
if you're fucking uploading
on YouTube once a week.
But also, too, it's like
the fucking, the YouTube video is there.
You can go watch it any time.
So something about the fleeting content of live,
someone goes live for eight hours,
fuck, I missed it.
What happened?
And you start looking for the clips.
It's addicting, man.
Like, when I go on stream
and there's clips of me,
that's why I didn't sleep last night.
We did the award ceremony.
I went home, and I didn't,
I couldn't look at chats or Twitter
while I was here because I was just,
I'm just you're you know what I mean
you go home and you just like
search your name and you look and see what the columns
are saying and you read all of it's it's addicting
bro it's crazy like it's insane
yeah the streamers are massive now it's a whole new meta
like Kai Sinat 2's like
oh my god I've been watching this the NBA shit
bro have you watched are seen clips
it's insane he started a whole league
it's funny dude Kai is
how much how much production value is though
oh it's a lot but what Kai is doing
is exactly what the Mr. Beast method
and model and Kai is
going to be here forever oh forever i is
forever a logan paul k-s i mr bese type guy
book it market if that's not the outcome of how this plays out
fucking no it's not what happened though like they're putting
bigger money into production for it spending a lot of his money on his content
and when somebody is willing to do that you know it's over it's a wrap yeah you
take that money and spend it on the same shit that's business 101 i made like a million
dollar trailer for one of his one of his like streams that he was going to do
The Speed one, right?
The speed one, right?
The fake room.
We loki ripped the fake room idea from them with the G-fuel shit.
We did our fucking G-fuel production in the old face house and bucked up the phase house.
And Kai and Mr. Beast did it weeks earlier for their Fourth of July shit.
Kai is like, he's like a you guys.
He's like a Logan.
He's like a fucking Mr. Beast.
He is the guy.
He is streaming.
You know what I mean?
Speed is, might as well be a fucking alien.
That kid's not real.
That's, he's fuck
If I didn't physically touch him
And meet him
And he stayed at our house
I wouldn't believe he's a real human
I think it was some government
Fucking CIA project
Gone right like
And he's grinding
He's doing it right too
Like he's hitting different countries worldwide
Like he's building fan bases
All across the world
Never before has somebody done what he's doing
I know
Speed's model is very very
Like simple
But more effective than any other
I've ever seen in my life
His goat
His North Star
His hero is Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest name on planet Earth by a lot.
That's who he, that's his, his end game is to meet him and be embraced by him and collaborate with him.
It's like how, what's a good example?
LeBron James for Kai.
But LeBron James is big in North America.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All over the world.
Of course he is.
But you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
They're different.
The soccer shit's different.
They're different.
Dude, if LeBron James makes a YouTube channel tomorrow, he's not getting 50 million.
subscribers in a day like fucking Ronaldo did you guys saw that yeah dude that is how much of that
do you credit speed so it's definitely mutually beneficial rinaldo and his team are not complaining
about how big of a fan speed is it's amazing but don't get it twisted as big as speed is rinaldo is
rinaldo flipped him in subscribers in a day wait how many does he have i don't know i i threw a number out
there 50 could be wrong i have no idea but it's at least 30 i know he flips speed very quickly
he just created a YouTube channel and just fucking
do you find it interesting what was it like
it's retarded no it's over the content
it's retarded but it's like it's insane
do you guys
how many videos
a lot oh a lot oh
isn't it that'd be sick
you guys find it interesting now that uh
Tom Brady has a YouTube channel
how many subscribers Tom Brady is my goat
he's I don't want to throw a shade but his
channel's tanking dude because
okay but wait who's watching Tom Brady fucking YouTube videos
I'm not and he's my hero
I have a fucking tattoo of them on my eyesapp.
So what do you think the difference is?
The difference is just the sample global.
Like, Speed's model, he goes to a country.
He finds something that everybody in the country loves,
whether it's a dish, a cuisine, a sport cricket.
You think Speed's watching cricket games?
He could be.
It could be wrong.
But he's in the stand screaming at cricket matches.
Everyone around him is looking at him, like this big fucking...
He's also just a savage, too, right?
Yeah, no.
He's amazing at content.
Amazing.
This kid jumped over two.
fucking lambos.
Put his life at risk when he's a fucking...
I don't understand that.
He's going to be a billionaire.
He doesn't give a fuck.
Jumping over the cars is, I don't get that.
In easy, fucking, in easy slides.
He's a sicko.
That kid's a sicko.
That kid might be the biggest to ever do it ever.
He's like 21.
Yeah, 20.
Speed might be unironically the Christiana Ronaldo of content.
Like, that's my take on some like psycho shit.
Like, I think if Speed did a big YouTube production, it would pull Mr.
Beast numbers.
Really?
If he put like, you know what I mean?
I mean, he recently got like a million people.
Plus viewers at one time concurrently on YouTube.
Like, that's ridiculous.
That's absurd.
I didn't even know that.
I think he was in Thailand or something like that.
How is that not the front page of every news article on planet?
He's worldwide.
He's screaming and fucking at cricket games.
And it's like now he just won over the entire country of fucking Indonesia.
They are all talking about him.
Who goes to fucking Indonesia and makes these big spectacles and events?
Nobody else is doing that.
People see us in Hollywood.
You know what I mean?
and they it's like oh shit can i get the picture these people see fucking speed
while you're on the street they're fucking chasing him ripping out of shirt they don't
give a fuck this is the this is the only time they've ever seen anybody from the internet
it's like damn that's crazy it's really the community with uh streaming is just it's it's bizarre
like i don't it's like they're so it's so personal like like remember when we did
pranks and then like our audience they watched our videos it's whatever but we added
vlog and then they were like die hard yeah i wonder if streaming is just like they know every they
know how you react just the matter they know everything about you it's the intimate connection that
you build with something they think they're friends with i always said it i've always had a really
you yeah i've always had a good ability to sell shit and turn shit over obviously you guys with
merchandise is unmatched you guys did more than anyone has ever done right broke records and
still hold records for that shit and it's because you guys timed it right dropped it the right
way but also you built this intimate connection with your fans like they really cared about you
guys and they saw you let it in for what it was these guys are getting millions of views and they're
broke that's not right we're gonna buy this hoodie we're gonna buy this fucking you know what I mean
yeah do you think that there's ever a future I guess like talking to everybody that YouTube is
gonna start to really decline because the streaming is becoming who knows no no no YouTube is the
new TV YouTube's not going anywhere YouTube well no go ahead I was just coming like more and more
commercialized a lot of the content becomes repurpose so like streaming seems
like it's the new meta as far as like the front facing where you shoot content and content
still lives and still does incredibly well that's taken from the streams and put on
youtube it still crushes so you i don't think i don't think youtube's going anywhere ever also
people love to be a part of the fucking blow up two of things like people get really excited when like
things are on a you guys know all about it's momentum right so that's got to also probably play
a role into it where youtube's been around forever youtube's been the biggest media platform
on the internet for a long time and now this live streaming thing
thing is kind of like coming up and like kind of taking over and everybody who's been doing
this forever is like high now people are hyper engaged bro i've been on the internet you guys have
been on the internet forever i never watched a stream i was never engaged i didn't understand it
and now i'm addicted to learning everything that i can about it and i watch it nonstop if i'm not
watching a live stream i'm watching clips if i'm at home so that's what you're consuming the most
live streams by a fucking mile these kids not just for work and studying it well a lot because
you're involved in the business of course yeah but but i would like to think that i would anyways
because bro i can't force myself to watch watch content you know what i mean like but you said
earlier how it's like background noise dude i was gaming the other day just put my phone up and put
a agent stream on in the back yeah yeah so you kind of like it's kind of secondary yeah because
it's just on for four hours you can you can you can experience the content in that way or be hyper engaged
where you're like part of the fucking like chat like interact live yeah it's both it's wild but like clips
kept like everything went from shorter shorter shorter like form or all the way to tick
talk or attention span shit like my theory is like then it's just there's nothing more that like
better like it's the unknown it's like i'm gonna watch this everyone else is watching it and it's not a clip
it's not a video it's not an edit it's like anything could happen i don't know what's going to happen
anything could happen yeah it's insane do you uh do you ever miss your vlog or your podcast or you
streaming or do you like this sideway more i've always liked this sideways more i've always
liked being in the background and kind of chiming in like my relationship with this content is
exactly what i would like would have always dreamed it to be i make phone i call in and it's the chat
spams w boss call and i'm fucking put these kids on game i'll spit a 10 minute bit about some bullshit
and hang up or crack a joke or make a tweet like i'm all over twitter and fucking i engage that way
and i'm last at the ceremony that's another thing too we did this live ceremony like thing last
night and this is how i know and tell me no but when your friends from home
girls and shit are texting you about content that you're in you know shit's when you know it's
piping hot the amount of fucking texts i got that these people had who been watching live
because it was immediately as i'm talking of making the speech i made it like a pretty emotional
speech about where we were you know a year and a half ago now and my phone lights up girls
friends i know yeah kids that are in music i'm getting deep
DMs from designers who I just like I like what they make I put one on my story today my
Instagram story this kid sent me a big long paragraph about how like Robin watching you forever
you're an inspiration to me I just watched your clip and cried like thank you for
being you never fucking change I've been following this kid for two years I had no idea he
even knew who the who the fuck I was that's trippy you know what I mean and like that's how
you know shit's piping hot and like yeah yeah it's better data than even view count
anything yeah oh why are my five homies from back home telling me this video was
jokes talk about data subscribers even like view count all of it is second to to hours watched
than time time spent watching like like you're the the percentage what is it called watch time on a
youtube video that directly obviously contributes to whether a video does very well or very bad
if somebody if a video has fucking 50% watch time versus 10% it's going fucking a video has 80% watch time
it's going viral like it's all i need any platform now too yeah yeah yeah yeah
Twitch, it's hours watched.
And the boys, this sub-a-thon, again, six people, 30 days, 24-7, amassed 35 million hours watched of their content in this last month.
That's over a million hours daily, hours daily.
Bro, if the human race spent 35 million hours on trying to cure cancer or world hunger, like, we'd probably be steps closer to that chance.
It's fucking, dude, that's like, you can't conceptualize what that number is.
It's an insane metric for sure.
It's insane.
Yeah.
Who reached out to you, your first big reach out?
Like, yo, dude, you're killing it.
Yaddy's shown fucking mad love.
Um, vert, Ouzi.
Was there anyone where you had that first person show you love where you're like, wow, this is lit?
Like back in the day?
Yeah, yeah.
I do have a story.
Me, Mike Maylack, are at, um, a K-Song.
Oddly enough, Ksons in phase.
Now he's, we're at a Kasson party and it's a Kylie Jenner.
Um,
Stasi baby Halloween party.
This is a fucking movie.
This is one of those nights
where it's like, this is not real life.
This is fucking crazy.
And me and Mike Maylack
are standing in line
for the bathroom
and David Dobrick's whole squad there.
He's not there,
but everyone's in the line
for the bathroom.
And this is like an hour or so
into the party
and down the stairwell
right by the bathroom
walks Drake.
And he just walks,
and he kind of walks past us.
He does a little double take
at like the line
and he fucking V-Lines it
straight up to me.

I'm always that's my boy
never met him a day of my life
never knew that guy knew who the fuck I was
that was crazy for me
Drake watches everything
he knows that motherfucker has his finger
attached to the pulse
Drake is one of the most impressive human beings
I've ever met in my life
like it's crazy
if he knows 905 shooter
he's fucking
dude it's beyond that
he'll be dropping one liner
bars where you're like
oh you're a sicko
like you're sick with it
he'll see this shit
he sees all of it bro
yeah are you cool with Drake
like could you text Drake
oh I could DM him

this is the king of the six bro
no I know it's fucking pretty sick
it's sick that that was like your guy too
yeah
Drake's I mean
Canada dude
Drake showed everyone in Toronto
it was possible.
Of course.
Yeah,
facts.
Like,
it's crazy.
It's amazing.
Is there anyone now in the recent come up that sort of show and love?
A lot of like people that I look up to in business and stuff.
Like people who I like really respect their opinion.
Even just like little side comments like Mr.
Beast came to the warehouse one time and this is like at phase's lowest and he that guy
is a savant.
Right.
So he can he can glance over and spend 10 seconds catching a vibe and know like yeah,
this is awful.
And that's what his vibe was with Faze
And I knew that super embarrassed about it
But he kind of sidebarred me
And was like dude
It's up to you
This works if you want it to work
It starts and stops with you
And when people give you that level of credit
It's like
Whoa you know what I mean
That's when you were your lowest too
Yeah by far
Yeah that's that's huge bro
When people are gonna rock with you
When you're down bad
How's Stine's wheels been in LA
Compared to who
Just compared to himself
He's doing yeah he's doing
He's doing what he can.
Every time you see me out,
you see me with a group of girls.
What the fuck?
We run into each other at keys, nice guy.
I always got a squad with me.
Piglets.
Damn.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Look that as clean as fuck.
Not no bullshit on there.
Smile mine.
No way.
Yeah, well, speaking of go-to.
Who's your favorite porn star?
Favorite porn star?
I don't really watch porn stars.
Male.
The hell.
No, I'm kidding.
Yo, you good?
Who's your favorite male porn, sir?
Not male, but female.
I love a male.
I've been going through a Savannah Bond phase.
Who's that?
What she looked like?
She's like a white Australian chick.
Oh, my God.
Who is she?
What's her name?
Banks probably slammed her.
No, no, no, no, no.
I have quite a few porn stars on their roster.
Love all of them.
You guys are all amazing.
My mom was a stripper.
She had me when I was young.
It's like a whole fucking thing.
I've been dealing with that trauma my whole life.
But something about like sex workers,
I bond with them in a different kind of way
and like really have human conversations with these people.
And I know it sounds retarded, but it's very true.
But one that I've never met that I follow.
That doesn't follow me back,
doesn't show me in attention,
which makes me probably even more obsessed with her.
I don't know what her fucking name is.
She's like British.
And there was just a clip that went viral of her
and another girl showing a bunch of dudes' feet.
They were about to get gang banged.
Oh, I saw that clip.
He's British.
Oh, I saw that clip, too.
I've been following her for a second,
and I didn't know who the fuck she, like, whatever,
but then that clip started going viral on my timeline.
I forget what her name is, though.
If there was, see, if there was a chat,
live chat, we could ask Chad.
Yeah.
He'd be spamming it right now.
You'd know it right away.
Yeah.
You feel like what the guy likes to think is late so much.
You wouldn't need to watch all this porn.
I don't watch all this porn, you fucking freak.
You talked about gooning 25 tabs if I'm misquoting.
Once in a while, you go on a bender.
You want a little fucking, you know,
You know what I mean?
I don't have drugs anymore fucking.
Sometimes you got to hit a jerk.
No matter how much you're fucking, nothing slaps like a jerk sometimes.
Also, sometimes stop watching.
Tell me this.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
I try to stop.
Everybody stop.
I stop.
But you know when you're fucking a girl for a while?
Something you're like, fuck, I just want a jerk.
Ready?
I've done that.
Let me paint the scenario real quick.
It's 11 p.m.
Your phone is right there.
Your dick is in your hand.
Whether it's fully lip, half chub, or you're fully cranking.
You're texting out, yo's.
What's you doing?
You up to your little roster of people, whatever.
You land one, right?
You get, I'm not doing anything, whatever.
You want to come cuddle?
Maybe watch a movie, like, yeah, sure.
Like, you just have me an Uber and then you make that fucking game time decision.
You go, you know what?
I could just.
Do I want this troll to come here?
I know.
I pipe her for 15 minutes and then I got to hang out with her for the next 12 hours.
She's got to sleep over and shit.
Or do I just bust one out, go crazy, shoot it off the side of my bed and roll over and sleep.
Go crazy.
I'm going to tell you what this.
Send the Uber.
Which one?
So true.
Have you all been in this scenario?
Yeah,
but to send me the Uber.
And you always appreciate when you pick the goon.
Oh yeah.
You're like, thank God, man.
He takes to send the Uber too personally.
Damn, I was, I was mean.
He's like, they're using me and shit.
The Uber's like, then it's a turn off, in my opinion.
That's just a gentleman.
I feel like I'm most like appreciated a little bit.
Uber?
It's like that for you?
It's like, yo, come over.
Like, do you get any bread?
Uber.
I'm funny, you brought that up because we're trying to figure some things out.
I don't, yeah.
I don't have it like you and all these other guys making whatever 12 million in one month.
You're a superstar.
You'll figure it out.
Okay.
Thanks, bro.
But Uber's, bro.
I was calling girls Uber's when I was fucking broke.
No, but I don't take it as a money thing.
It's the principle of like, yo, you have to basically get me over there and you're going to take care of.
Wait, wait.
Yeah, no shit.
It's an Uber.
It's like 45 bucks.
Okay.
You're not doing it.
I know.
Of course you are.
You think Brad's doing that?
No fucking.
Well, I was also going to add like.
I'm not Uber at.
You're going to Uber at.
I'm not Uber in anyone, by the way, but also I'm like, yeah, that's crazy.
You're not Uber and nobody.
I won't take a girl down to Rodeo and buy her bags and shit.
That's crazy.
That's what I won't buy a bitch.
That's what's fine.
I won't fly girls out.
I won't do that.
But Uber food.
What else?
Like,
If you take a girl on a trip, if you take a girl on a trip, you're paying for the hotel.
You're paying for the stay.
Like the day to day like a con, like what I need to survive type shit, shelter, food, transportation.
Men pay for that, in my opinion.
Yeah.
I've always known me.
I agree with that.
Since I was a, since I was fucking a jit.
But, but the late night situation, you haven't learned to just be like, like done and then leave.
You can't do the done and then leave.
Some people sometimes you can.
Brad's a businessman.
Sometimes you can.
I'm just saying historically, I don't do this anymore.
You're the kind of guy like, you know why you're here.
Well, we both know why they're there, which is like the same situation.
Sometimes you can.
It depends on.
When you said that, I was like, what?
Just be like, yeah, early day tomorrow.
Sometimes.
Oh, no, dude.
My, not Pierce, but my, my assistant before him, Brandon.
Do you guys remember Brandon?
Dalton or no that was after your time
his job exclusively
was to wake me up at like 9 10
in the morning and panic
dude we have the fucking really important meeting
and 50s wait to fuck up wake the fuck oh shit
fuck I run in the shower
babe I'm sorry here put your address
and you slip her with the phone fuck fuck
fuck oh here we go again you know what I mean
you get all dressed for the day
you shower brush your teeth you walk her out
kiss her on the forehead send her home
and then you walk back inside lock the door
take off all your clothes and go back to sleep.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, savage.
That, Brandon, we have a meeting.
I would, 3 a.m.
Brandon, we have a meeting at 9.30.
If you had to make a prediction 10 years from now,
what do you think is the biggest thing in the internet world that's different?
I think that people, that there will be a shift in balance
between how much people spend in the digital world as opposed to the real world.
I think it's already a battle.
When you look at screen time, like when you put on those headsets
and you have an avatar and you can be anything you want,
Dude, most people don't love who they are.
Most people would rather be something else.
Yeah, like 20 years from now, it's going to be fun.
You said something.
Ready Player 1, bro.
If you've never seen the movie Ready Player 1,
go watch that movie.
That is what they're...
Like, they live in a trailer park,
but I'm a fucking golden goose in the game.
Anybody know when that book came out
because it was a book first,
and I heard the book's nuts.
No, I didn't even know that.
But it was like way before the movie.
And like, this is like...
I actually think what you said about GTA is true.
People are going to start spending money
and run businesses in GTA.
I swear I was saying my name is and I was like
Dude that's a true
I'm so glad you brought this up because this is a crypto conversation
Granted doesn't know how much money
Have they spent on it it's like
Crazy money
Like hundreds of millions if not billions on the game
They spent right
Over the course of the last fucking decade
They've been building this game for a decade
Would it surprise you guys for Grand Theft Auto
To release and launch their own marketplace
Where you can buy goods shop
Trade these items amongst each other
Would that surprise you at all
It's probably how it's gonna work right
Would it surprise you if you could physically buy a house in Grand The Auto with money, you take money, V bucks.
And it could go up in value?
Yes, and it tradeable.
CSGO, why CSGO skins have real world value, why there are skins and CSGO that are worth quite literally millions of dollars.
That's what the market says that they're worth is because I can own it and trade it to you freely.
So that establishes a market and it's all about demand versus the supply, right?
You have a rich fucking prince in India who plays CSGO every day.
money's nothing to him he'll go buy the rare skin in the game for a million dollars like it's
nothing and we'll run around with it and people and he's that guy right for the flex yeah it's just
like how everybody lives in the real world the only difference is way more people see it yeah you're
wearing a Tiffany paddock maybe 10 people really see it that day yeah it's a fucking whatever
oh that's such a good four million dollar watch yeah you're running around in a video game
with a rare skin you're having fucking 100,000 profile visits a day you're talking about flex culture
I'm that guy come on man like it's it's it's I
Yeah.
If GTA were to release a server, a main, this is the world.
Everybody's welcome to join this.
It costs $10 a month.
This would be nuts.
You are taxed $10 a month to be a part of this world.
Rockstar Games takes $5.
And then the other five gets put into a liquidity pool to support a grant theft auto token.
Yeah.
A coin.
An economy.
That is the currency in the game that establishes what everything is valued at.
You can invest in that token early, play the game early, buy real estate early.
Brother, it's, you know,
Gotta take something like a G,
and I'm not saying this is what GTA is doing,
but would it surprise you?
No, bro.
I think they can't call it.
The GTA created their own media platform,
would it surprise you?
No.
If you could watch videos and listen to music
and artists started popping up,
brands,
if I went and did a pop-up for phase merch,
digital phase merch
and 100,000 kids showed up to this pop-up
to stand in line.
Would that surprise you?
No.
Imagine in the game, too.
That's what the future looks like in my mind.
100%.
It's like, yo,
you could go to Faze Banks' house
and you actually have to buy that house,
buy your wigs.
Or if you're a drug dealer in the game,
you're really stacking bread.
You can redeem that, swap it over for real bread.
But there are people who play.
No, no, no one's going to buy drugs in GTA.
You're not going to fill the effects.
No, they do.
Have you ever played GTA?
So, you drink and you start like,
dude, it's all RP.
These kids spend eight hours a day
and they'll get taught from fucking girls in the game
and kids will go and sit and work at McDonald's all day.
Hey, can I take your order?
It's insane.
Bags and GTA, huh?
No, but, yo, Ikea, or IKEA just did some of the roll blocks.
A little healthier?
Yeah.
Well, Banks, you know what I was thinking is like, you said something about people are going to be like spending more money in a game.
It'll become more natural to do that.
Like, I always think back to like 10, 15 years ago when, remember when like buying something online and asking for your dad's credit card to buy it was like, sketchy?
It's sketchy.
He's like, oh, I'm not giving you my information, all this.
Now think about just in a 24 hour a day for all of us, how many Amazon this, like how many things we buy it.
we don't even fucking think about it's one click in the game owning real estate owning a car owning this
owning a watch like i can totally see that being like or you said diversifying your your portfolio
like it'll be like you'll have a friend or you'll hear on the news that this guy made 60% because
he bought a house a year ago on the game and then people get into it and then it like rock star games
i would love nothing more than to sit with you guys and talk forever about this shit so anybody
over there that wants to talk i don't you guys don't need to pay me
shit. I don't need anything from you.
I would love to fucking talk about this.
Or anybody really. I think it's the future.
I think it's like, too, it's like, bro, like,
you got to pay for the Euris and GTA
and you want to flex that. You are going, someone's going to do
it. People are going to start doing that if they charge that.
And it has you to pull up on someone and really
GTA steal that bitch. And now it's yours.
And you could go to jail or they're killed.
You know what I mean? It's like, lose everything.
I don't think they would call it Granth of Auto. I think they would make it
bigger, like, call it the world or something. I call it like.
Well, this shit's not about. What's that game
that everyone like plays with a little, it's like,
Minecraft.
Roonscape.
Yeah, Roomscape.
It's been going on for it.
It's already been going on.
People have had rare items in Roonscape.
They get lured out to the wild wilderness or whatever.
They get murked.
About Maple Story.
You know what I mean?
It's like...
Maple Story?
I've heard of that before.
That was time ago.
I think the Canadian Twins used to play that.
Abo Hotel, all that shit.
This is nothing new, by the way.
Also, like, everyone who thinks that this shit's a scam, like, digital real estate is a thing.
Like, you own at Kyle on Instagram.
Not anymore, but...
Okay, well.
Someone ripped it from me
Does at Kyle
On Instagram hold any intrinsic value
Is there value to that
Yeah how much would you say
Is that roughly worth
How much you pay for that?
How much do you pay for 60K
60K for it
That
You paid for a digital thing
That doesn't exist
The feedback I always see is like
Yeah
No one's gonna buy that
It's not real
You fucking retard you idiot
What is that Kyle
What is that?
It's a little
It's like having like a nice car
I mean it's just like
Guys it's pixels on a screen
Well this is like
It's the same shit.
I would never give on that.
It's status.
I mean,
it's I'm fucking Kyle.
I'm him.
I mean,
this is how dot com started.
Yes,
brother.
The same exact thing.
You don't think that there was a conversation
that was like,
yo,
I'm going to buy this like domain name.
Well,
that's what happened.
You're going to spend millions of dollars.
What is that?
You fucking retard.
So much money.
Get a fucking job.
People made so much money
buying domain and selling domains.
It's still to this day.
Yeah.
We could really sit here and talk about this all day long.
And if we could really sit here and talk about this all day long.
And if we
did it we probably
elevate you know what I mean it would probably
increase the rate at which
we're moving and like that's what was
attractive about LA is like that
back home like you couldn't talk about this shit
or like make a vine video or do this like no one
wanted to talk about it like the dreamer energy like
yeah like like like that delusional like
dude like the fucking bitch at star
the barista at Starbucks has a bikini line
like everyone here is doing something
or has a bigger idea about what they want to be
or do it's I don't know I swear by
LA I fucking I appreciate
you guys being a part of the fucking whole thing
more than you ever know.
We appreciate you too always.
And I know that you guys do
and I love you for that.
Just know anytime I talk about you guys
I love taking credit
I love saying I was right.
I love that shit.
You deserve a lot of credit.
It's what I fucking deserve a lot of credit.
And you guys have never shined away from giving me
giving me credit or flowers and I appreciate
that more than you ever know.
All jokes sad,
I fucking love you to death.
Yeah, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't have the type of relationship we do if I didn't.
You're awesome too and I'm glad that we got
to do that podcast.
before I got to talk my shit
I got to get called a retard in the comments
and I get to say fuck you
it's dope
I don't do very many podcasts
I don't love content
you guys are family
I could never not do this
and I'm glad we waited until now
100% because they've been asking for this one
forever since the fucking thing
started and the fact that you two are sitting right here
and we're sitting in the fucking
sub-a-thon house like this shit
it's a special moment
we're gonna see clips
