Hey Guys! Its Phil. So as you might have seen we didn't win Show Of The Year last night at the Streamys. Props to SugarPine7, their audience (specifically the ones who didn't tell me to go fuck myself haha) and I'm excited to see what comes next for them. Well deserved.I want to thank all of you who voted, showed support, and made it competitive. That said, I was rereading through my acceptance speech (I wrote one out of fear if we did win, I might blank on stage) and I realized it actually works win or lose because it just expresses who I'm thankful for, so I wanted to share it with you.-----

I want to thank my amazing and fantastic wife Lindsay. You are my rock. My biggest critic. My biggest cheerleader. And having that in the person I love and respect most in the world makes me feel like a winner, award or not.

I want to thank my editor James Girardier. You came in for a daily 5-6 minute daily show, but you're too damn skilled for your own good and now we have this beautiful 15-20 minute daily show, getting double/triple the views than last year. I couldn't do this without you.

I have to thank my amazing producer Amanda Morones. I wouldn't be here without you by side though all craziness these past few years. And I'm so excited to take it to the next level with you on all the new stuff we're launching soon.

To my entire Rogue Rocket work family it is an honor creating and building what comes next with you.

And OF COURSE, I have to thank the Beautiful Bastards who watch, like, comment on all my stupid videos. The beautiful bastards who support us on DeFrancoElite so we don't have to worry about funding or demonetization when talking about important sensitive topics. You allow us to be independent and successful. I can never truly get across how amazing you are for making our current situation a reality.

Finally, a small thank you to anyone who has ever sent hate my way. Thank you for the extra views, the extra engagement, putting my name in new people's ears, and fueling me. Giving me that little extra I need in my tank when I'm tired, have a setback, or fail. That attempt to pile on when I'm down is what actually helps me get back up. That little oomf to prove you wrong and prove myself and those who support me right with our periodic successes.

If there's anything I could leave you with it's that there's an endless amount of negative energy out there. Try to take some of it and use it to fuel something positive in your life and the lives of others.



Thank you
