00:00:13.800
bro before you met me before you slid in my dms and invited me to go to that house when i was a
00:00:18.200
young kid you know what when i was 18 you know what's crazy is this bro i'm a fan of this face
00:00:24.180
before so when i woke up today the way you did it bro i'm just i was so happy bro the way you did
00:00:29.080
everything it's just some boss i'm so interested why did it make you happy what like what why did
00:00:34.000
it why did it trigger by the way thank you for saying that yeah that's obviously we're trying
00:00:38.880
to get a positive response i mean we expected today to be kind of like a you know i mean a show um i
00:00:46.240
definitely expected it to be way more negative than than like there was an overwhelming you know
00:00:51.880
amount of like positivity and just like you know encouraging responses but like what about it made
00:00:57.880
you like what what did you like about it because you know you're also a sicko like you like the dog
00:01:03.220
i just like when people get mad like i love the drama bro like like when people are getting mad on
00:01:08.440
twitter like actually like makes me laugh and like i actually like found it funny as like when people
00:01:14.180
like were sitting there like getting mad and crying and i'm sorry i know it sounds really up
00:01:18.720
the way you just the way the way you kick people is like an og clan type of thing they wake up and
00:01:24.360
they see a roster update the way you did it was super awesome and super creative it was an og thing
00:01:29.360
and that's what just goes to show you this new age of twitter are full of pussies because why are they
00:01:35.000
getting upset over it that's just the way you do it also i have i do have a little bit of tea to spill
00:01:39.720
it was actually supposed to be way more like gnarly and savage than that originally and again listen i have
00:01:45.680
no like ill will against the the people we kicked obvious this should be obvious right like anybody
00:01:50.940
with half a brain knows like yeah we have no issue with these people it just does not make sense it
00:01:55.840
doesn't work like this face in a spot where it was controlled by like vc corporate money who's just
00:02:02.660
trying to like milk the brand for as much as they can get so they they hire people that they feel like
00:02:08.060
they have to hire and it's true they're pumping out brand deals and the whole thing's just been a
00:02:12.860
commercial show for four years so in my mind i need to make a a really like loud matter of fact
00:02:21.100
straight to the point statement that's why that's why the temporary branding is like the blue screen
00:02:25.560
of death reboot like you know i love it windows yeah windows 95 reboot like that's the state in which
00:02:31.600
the brands in bro like wipe the slate clean like this is what it is and originally like
00:02:37.440
just because there is a salty taste left in my mouth you know what i mean like this
00:02:42.560
and again i've explained this at length but we got raped bro no i know you guys did i was there when
00:02:50.360
it's so on such a day i watched it happen like not only did these fools strip our brand away from us
00:02:58.540
yeah in my own personal example my shares and phase got straight up stolen from me yeah
00:03:06.800
seven eight years ago and they didn't get reissued to me until right before we went public
00:03:12.080
right so like just imagine as phase banks somebody who helped like found this company i've never signed
00:03:18.920
a document i've never approved any sort of spending i've never had any sort of control over where the
00:03:23.960
money goes who's getting paid what so then all these like corporate larps which i'm sorry for
00:03:30.080
by the way those guys nah it's fine but like you live and you learn that's that's the whole point
00:03:35.300
though like stop spamming that they're not jewish me and my homies around playing video games like
00:03:41.460
and now you got you know groups like amp and sidemen and beta squad these these are these are like
00:03:49.260
entities and clicks and brands of homies that are thriving but it's let's call it what it is it's
00:03:54.280
the phase blueprint bro like we were the first people on that shit we were the first people
00:03:58.060
doing a content house but what comes with being first is you get fucked we had nobody to like
00:04:04.620
look to to guide us and ultimately we ended up getting raped you know what i'm saying out of our
00:04:11.720
you didn't get raped 100p it's funny bro when i first met you bro you even told me aiden
00:04:17.840
you could easily come to phase and join don't do it i'm not letting you do it you didn't let me
00:04:22.580
go to phase when i wanted to join me first thing because you're such a great kid you were honestly
00:04:27.020
so just happy like to be in the mix of this shit yeah you wanted to you wanted to show up you want
00:04:32.700
to work you want to do first thing you said to me was you gotta get me in phase i want to join
00:04:36.680
phase yeah yeah dead in the eye i said aiden no yeah absolutely not you're gonna be on your own
00:04:43.640

keep that's actually what i want to know it's just so phase phase is at its best when it's
00:09:45.220
it was at its peak when it was the homies around working off each other bounce off each other
00:09:51.220
watching each other's videos being involved in each other like just with each other bro like it
00:09:56.800
starts there you know how your dynamic is with your boys like yeah you don't have the same dynamic when

00:10:51.640
active for real no you are we live together i was still on like don't talk to me mode yada yada
00:10:56.960
i'd still be on that but this phase like we need to we need to do something man we're doing
00:11:02.020
something um freak i haven't slept in two days i've been obviously like super busy today they
00:11:09.040
want to know oh phase rain what's going on with norton i talked to norton today for three hours
00:11:13.860
on the phone yeah yeah at the end of the day i don't want to like say too much because we really
00:11:18.220
just talked as like as brothers but that's that's what i'll say is like that at the end of the day
00:11:23.080
bro that's my brother like yeah and there's exactly you know two other people besides us
00:11:28.400
who care about phase on the level that we care about it and it's tommy and apex you know what
00:11:32.780
i'm saying like of course the bond that i have with these kids is on a whole different level
00:11:36.640
we're all legends in our own right these kids are just as much responsible as i am for any sort
00:11:43.120
of success phase has and like they all got equally as as we did you know what i'm saying
00:11:48.540
makes sense well i'm telling you what these people did to us was so beyond just like stealing
00:11:53.040
from us like they turned us against each other yeah and let us down the wrong paths and let us
00:11:58.500
make mistakes that we didn't have to make you know what i mean like trip up on like at no point
00:12:03.500
did these people teach us how to do taxes or anything about a contract or anything bro like
00:12:08.400
it was so up i've been saying this is going to be a movie it's going to be i'm excited bro because
00:12:14.700
i saw everything i know it's going to happen i'm just got it yeah wait hold on is something
00:12:20.480
happening tomorrow i hope so to be honest with you we were going to let this cool down because again
00:12:26.740
like i honestly didn't even can we all just take a moment to realize and recognize and just like
00:12:32.840
study the fact that what happened today happened like phase low-key owned twitter today like it's
00:12:38.120
all everybody people are super engaged with it whether their opinion is negative or positive
00:12:43.240
clearly face has some weight clearly people give a about phase you know what i'm saying like
00:12:49.400
i did not even i'm phase banks you know what i mean i gotta be biased to an extent i gotta
00:12:54.380
like be delusional and believe in this on like a sicko level because who else will if not me
00:12:59.280
that's true no you're not wrong it's true but like i did not expect it to be like this today
00:13:04.560
honestly like i expect to put it out whatever we'll get some we'll get on for a little bit
00:13:08.940
no everyone everyone was engaged in the industry wait for a day and then we we you know we we roll
00:13:15.980
some out okay two two two one monday is the plan for the next for the next thing okay monday monday's
00:13:22.820
the next candid bro like it ain't like there's really nothing sensitive like tommy was talking
00:13:28.700
to me today about speaking about something like bro you don't got to ask me like oh okay just talk
00:13:33.540
just talk i'm gonna ask it i'm gonna ask it and again i just want to know the phase the phase blaze
00:13:40.180
situation okay so i'm really happy you asked about that by the way first of all blaziken again is my
00:13:47.860
brother i i call him blaziken because that was his og name then he started rapping switch it up yeah
00:13:53.580
blaze weird but that's my brother right that's my that's my blood at the end of the day lucas his
00:14:01.460
content is the furthest thing from like how we want phase represented i'm just going to be honest
00:14:05.780
yeah that's nothing like that's that's what there's 99.9 of content on the internet we don't
00:14:10.660
like it doesn't belong with phase you know right there's time we're on um we don't talk regularly
00:14:16.980
like i haven't talked to lucas on the phone in years like to say but like you know we all grew
00:14:22.340
apart people bro we're old and washed up you know what i'm saying we were on we're on you're on
00:14:28.820
10 years ago you know what i'm saying like yeah why are you looking like that wait so am i gonna
00:14:33.460
get washed up soon too not soon not soon i had a crazy run bro yeah you did no you did am i washed
00:14:41.300
up i'm washed no not really because you're on some ceo oh yeah see the new arc new chapter but um no
00:14:50.100
his his video lucas's video response first of all the kid clearly loves phase and totally understands i
00:14:57.620
could tell that he understands it like you know what i mean and had nothing but amazing things to
00:15:01.780
say about me rain everybody else and really just said it for exactly what it does right but in a
00:15:06.980
weird ironic way this thing ever happening and he's got a whole new venture and that's like no joke
00:15:11.620
like he just he's in 3 000 walmart's like he's a multi-million dollar deal for a product that he
00:15:17.300
started that's crazy yeah it's amazing it's amazing if lucas goes and makes a hundred million
00:15:22.340
dollars on these balls that's amazing you know what i'm saying like yeah i would love nothing
00:15:27.380
more than to see that that's not what it's about and at any point lucas can call us and use any
00:15:32.980
resources any facilities like he's family you know what i mean lucas can come sleep in my crib
00:15:37.780
tomorrow if he needs to type you know what i mean but just like as to not confuse the direction of
00:15:42.580
where we're going it just felt like the move and i'm speaking for everybody by the way again i'm playing
00:15:47.700
the bad guy like i'm you know what i mean i'm the one speaking on all this but yeah that's fine
00:15:53.700
what i mean i mean ricky you're you're a whole way of you're doing this you're doing this your way
00:15:57.540
you're being the bad guy don't leak your phone don't leak your phone don't leak your phone don't
00:16:00.340
leak your phone turn your phone turn it there you go oh you can see it yeah that's crazy i'm gonna let
00:16:05.620
you i'm gonna let you go in like a minute or so you know i'm seeing on the on twitter like oh my god
00:16:10.180
i'm getting kicked like who gives a flying listen bro like i'm gonna just say no i don't care bro
00:16:14.500
without i would know how like 90 of these people if it wasn't her face but i do want to have i do
00:16:20.660
have a question for the people like you know like offset i think yachty snoop brawny like what it like
00:16:28.820
what is there obviously i know you're cool with everyone bro everyone loves you ricky so what does
00:16:33.860
it mean for people like that because that's a corporate type of thing right not exactly like boat
00:16:39.780
is my brother like that i saw him at yellow like every time i see him it's love like that's really
00:16:44.820
the homie i got to witness his career like yeah go crazy like we kind of low-key came up together type
00:16:51.460
like that era that 2016 17 yeah 18 era it was just like kind of both of our like peaks time like
00:16:59.940
whatever and that's my boy and he joined phase on some like yo i've been with phase like
00:17:05.940
i played mwt i trick shot i did this yada yada yada yeah really formed this relationship with
00:17:11.220
him and he really wanted to show love and support we did like a merch collab and it was dope the way
00:17:15.860
that the happened with boat was was amazing but like then you know what i mean like it kind of ran
00:17:20.340
its course i don't think the the move ever was to like make lil yachty an official part of the team
00:17:26.980
with phase in his name and like the how the other members rock you know what i'm saying but yeah
00:17:31.540
you know what i mean like yachty's the homie boat's the homie obviously brawny's the homie but like
00:17:36.100
this training to be in the nba and you know what i mean like yeah we can make this fool and tap in
00:17:41.300
with him and show him love and it's like family on that but it's just it doesn't feel appropriate or
00:17:45.940
it just feels disingenuous it feels like and that's what we always felt about it like corporate
00:17:51.300
obviously loved that because all it meant was more you know attractive mainstream brand dollars that's why
00:17:56.420
i'm speaking so candid because i don't give a bro a brand deal a ceo money yeah i'll do this
00:18:05.380
face with zero dollars and the company could be valued at zero dollars i'll i'll still be standing
00:18:11.220
there with my in one hand dude i'll go down that road with you we'll sit down and talk another time
00:18:16.740
once everything goes i love you too last thing i'm gonna ask and then after this we're gonna leave it
00:18:20.820
off on a good note um they wanna they're asking about tico bro tico again is just like he's the
00:18:25.700
homie like he's he's it's not even the homie like he's my brother like these are everybody we did that
00:18:31.540
phase new york house with like we all can agree like that is like the most important pivotal so good
00:18:38.020
moment of our lives you know what i mean like the numbers the stats how like clouded it was because it
00:18:44.020
really wasn't like there have been like higher peaks to phases success in terms of number but like the
00:18:49.620
the energy and that's what the i'm trying to like trying to capture that a little piece of that
00:18:55.620
you know what i mean because that's where all the magic happens like that's and tico
00:19:02.660
tico just like hasn't really wanted to like engage in any of the face over the last year
00:19:08.180
and a half two years like has been super mismanaged mistreated but so have we you know what i'm saying so
