- One music video.
- For the next year. - For the next year?
- 365-- - Six months.
- No. The next year-- - I'm trying to--
- I'm gonna have a baby, things are gonna happen.
- That's what I'm saying too I'm freaking the fuck out.
- Yeah. Had a fucking baby. What the fuck? It's crazy.
(group laughter) I know how you do it.
("Monday To Monday" by Saba)
- Saba, I've been telling you.
- [Gary] Or their subjective call on creative instead of
creating the process that allows more creative to see the day of
light and be able to see the quant and qual feedback from it.
So, it's the human beings in the way of letting more creative see
the world and they're reacting to the creative instead of
having the ego that we're the individuals
that pick the creative.
("Flying" by Caesar)
Good, how are you? Good to see you.
I can't be your mentor, Phil. - You already are.
- [Gary] I know, it's so weird.
It's so binary, if I'm on your team,
I'm all the way there.
I just stop, like the faucet of awesomeness and love and
opportunity just turns off.
That you've seen a lot.
- Murdering!
- [Gary] It's the tortoise and the hare. Right.
- Don't even. Don't even, don't deflect that.
You're killing it.
You entertain me three or four times a fucking day.
Excuse my language. (Gary blows raspberry)
Did I say excuse my language? (group laughter)
For God's sake, but you told me that.
You sat me down in a room, when I first met you and I'd known
you for about five minutes and you said,
"You're gonna have a million followers this time next year"
and I laughed. - I remember.
- And you said, "No, you're going to."
You were like, "What the fuck doesn't this kid get?"
You're like, "Everybody's going to."
I know youd didn't quite mean that but--
- What do you mean, I didn't mean it?
- Are you getting what I'm saying?
- We were in 315, and I was just building out that office.
I knew exactly-- - Yeah.
- I told all of you fuckers what you were going to be.
So, to me, let's take a step back.
- Sure.
- Instead of what you're doing right now,
one man's point of view.
In trying to win in a way that I think you have less control.
- [Nicholas] Sure.
- And the majority of people are trying to go through that path.
- [Nicholas] Sure.
- My question is do you believe
that you can replicate your social reach...
("Flying" by Caesar)
If you decided to create for Musical.ly,
decided to create for Instagram,
create for the platform, not create the romantic thing you've
decided that you are you can replicate it if you choose
that's the right move.
Only thing I'm doing for you 'cause I love you is giving you
the permission to understand that truth.
- I get it. What's plan B?
- Plan B is to be like everybody else in this town and fucking be
at the mercy of organizations
that don't give a fuck about you.
- Okay. - That's plan B, mother fucker.
- That's great.
What a horrifying reality that you've painted for me.
- That's plan B!
- I got to tell you something. - Yes, sir.
- My dad's first generation Greek.
- Uh-huh.
- And I think that's why I love you because this is like my
father talking to me.
Except you're way younger than my dad.
But I'm telling you--
- Dude, I was hoping I was older.
("Flying" by Caesar)
- [Nicholas] So you're saying everyday
I'm doing one music video,--
- For the next year. - For the next year?
- 365-- - Six months.
- No. The next year-- - I'm trying to--
- I'm gonna have a baby, things are gonna happen.
- That's what I'm saying too I'm freaking the fuck out.
- Yeah. Had a fucking baby. What the fuck? It's crazy.
(group laughter) I know how you do it.
You're really, you know what's interesting?
You know what's interesting about that?
You know what, do you want to know what's most interesting
about that moment? - What?
- You're so good at what you did and what you do,--
- You were able to--
- I was able to give it that style,
that's, that was actually incredible moment.
I consume no content.
- I know. I know. - That's it.
The fact that you have something
like that I'm not gonna let you fucking waste it.
- Plug it on this.
- What the fuck do you think
this whole episode's gonna be about?
- So for the next 365 days--
- This man, right here, is going to?
- be making a song a day on Instagram.
- Who's freaking the fuck out?
I can't curse on this channel?
- You can curse. Fuck yeah.
Cool. (Gary and DRock laugh)
That's it. Love you, man.
Wow. - [Gary] I'm pumped up, man.
Dude, I swear to God on my life, I'm telling you,
I'm gonna say something weird.
- What? - This is where it gets weird.
- It's pretty weird already.
- I will never talk to you again if there's not a video tomorrow.
- You will never talk to me ever again?
- I swear on my children. - Wow.
Can you say that on my Instagram?
- Nope.
- Can you say that on my Instagram?
- Nope. (Phil laughs)
- Say it! - No.
This is for you and me. - That's gonna go on that.
- Listen. Listen, listen, listen.
- What's up? - I love you.
Sit down for one more second.
I really need this. - Go ahead.
- This is very serious. - I'm sweating.
("Flying" by Caesar)
That's the reason I'm here, man.
I believe in you and I know you believe in me.
- [Gary] I do, brother. Love you very much.
- Incredible success. - Thank you.
I'll talk to you soon.
- Nobody deserves it like you, man.
- I'll talk to you tomorrow.
- Peace! Peace out! Peace, (mumbles).
Alright. Alright, guys.
- [Gary] Guys, I'm fucking fired up.
You wanna watch, you're excited about the content.
You're excited about bananas fit in circles.
- Yeah.
- [Gary] Which is gonna be a huge hit.
But don't mentors have more experience and connections?
Yes, but if you do work.
And what people don't understand that really pisses me off is
they're not creating any leverage.
Everything is about fucking leverage.
Look at you two fucking jerkoffs.
You guys had leverage 'cause you came and worked for free that
was your leverage that created your opportunity.
People fucking hitting up people on DM like,
"Hey Mark Cuban, I want you to be my mentor."
With what fucking leverage, asshole?
So either you go and do it from scratch and build something that
gives you leverage like if fucking young Mark Zuckerberg or
young Evan Spiegel wants to hit me up and says hey,
I'm like yeah, hey.
You build something, you've got something.
Or you fucking do something that brings disproportionate value
to the other person which is the only thing is free work
of a skill that people need.
But then everybody cries and goes,
"I don't do spec work. That's the value of me."
Everybody, you know?
Ridiculous argument because the value of you is your whole life
not fucking six weeks, six months or a year.
Nobody understands, this is all leverage.
It's all leverage.
People don't want to work, man.
People don't want to work.
I know you agree, you did it.
Phil, how'd you get into Forbes 30 under 30 or
whatever fucking list you're on? You know?
There's no fucking way you
were gonna do it other than did something smart.
You did something smart and rogue.
You did something even more interesting.
Not only did you, you did two things right.
You asked, most people don't even fucking ask,
and you ate crow.
You asked twice.
- [DRock] I asked a lot more than twice.
- You asked more than twice? - [DRock] Yes.
- You need to dig up those emails.
That's a real fucking blog post.
- [DRock] Emails and tweets.
- You need to find every one of them, DRock.
- [DRock] Yeah.
- You have enormous amounts of down time,
go figure it out. (group laughter)
("Free Animal"' by Foreign Air)
I wish you well, brother.
Good to see you. - Good luck.
- [Gary] Good luck to you on everything, alright?
Hey guys. Hey.
I want to do a 24 hour
Q&A live globally. Right?
Like, think about that.
Yeah, it's different thing, you know?
You okay?
What is this thing?
(man laughs) I'm just kidding.
- Can I get one? - [Gary] Yeah, let's do it.
22. - That's right.
One of the biggest things,-- - Sell your truth, baby.
Sell your truth.
- That's right.
- Awesome. You too, man, I'm proud of you.
Keep hustlin'.
- You don't understand.
I read your book "Jab, Jab, Right Hook" I was from Watts.
- [Gary] Yes.
- No one makes it out of there.
- [Gary] I understand what Watts is.
- Read that book, ate shit for three years building this up.
Did Good Morning America was able to scale it from that,
now we're launching in Target.
So I wanted to tell you...
("Free Animal"' by Foreign Air)
- You did it. You did it, I just gave you that match.
Love it, love it.
- I loved everything that he said tonight but one thing that
really resonated with me was how you talked about
we can control our hustle.
I get so many people asking how do you accomplish this?
How do I do that?
And how do I do that? - You work.
- Yeah. Work your ass off.
- Work.
- Anything else you want to say to my channel, Gary?
- Yep, work. - (laughs) Thank you.
- Awesome.
Did it. We did it.
It was a lot of fun.
Big ups L.A.
There's a bus? - [DRock] (laughs) I don't know.
- [Gary] Look.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
Yeah, of course. See ya.
See you guys, take care.
A good day. No, I'm not tired.
- Hoping outside right now.
- Not gonna catch me sleeping ever again.
- [DRock] Oh, I will. I will.
- [Tyler] Fantastic. I'll see you in one second.
