"Drinking a lot of coffee" - Banks 2016

Anyone here from jasmine Gonzales?

Welcome back man. I really fucking missed u.

really glad you're back dude, honestly

I’m here for Jazmín Gonzales (Jazminsus), she live something like this, whats is wrong, WTF?!

1 year ago from today and his life got 20x better

Can he just admit that he did drugs, there's no shame. I've been smoking weed for 3 years

who else listened the whole 33 minutes

Pretty good character development for Banks throughout this arc, and I don't even watch FaZe.

Bro you could turn the hospital part of story into a fucking lit ass movie haha

It's good to have you back Banks! #StayHighStayLifted

If you ever need to take time off please don't hesitate we will understand

Thanks for the clear up man. I know it took a lot out of emotion to make this video, I love how you came out with this...respect and I hope you continue your great journey, I see a lot of things lined up for you in the future...Faze the Fuck up my friend

Here because of JAZMINSUS experience 😰 so scaryyy

What are these manly tears running down my face?

I was dying when the lady was confused about living with teeqo

Anyone else 2019?

Don't mean to be rude but that was funny, "I live with Teeqo!"

Rip FaZe Bracelet ----/2016 He was a happy bracelet...

You seriously need to make a book or movie about this would be fucking amazing

Banks had the craziest Faze arc of all time and it all started from this return

Manifested this shit! I'm so inspired by how you came back from this low period in your life. It really shows me that no matter how bad things may seem, it can always get better. A lot of people hate because they only see the insanely awesome stuff in your life right now, but they don't know where you came from! I'm happy for you and I wish you and your crew nothing but success in the future! You deserve it all!

BANKS write this shit down, this could be a movie or a book

you should honestly put some of the other FaZe members that arnt really in the spotlight and help them out and put them in the FaZe House. instead of all the same people in the house. let the other members have some fun too

this has to be one of my favourite videos of Banks... its so just open, honest and felt genuine, no cuts and edits and opening up like that is fucking hard... I really admire Banks for this video x

banks you've become my favorite member of faze. im glad to see you coming back and being honest and changing for the better. you were at a low point but you seem so much happier now. all love

We love you Ricky

You need to write a fucking book. Like, for real.

there are so many people who go through similar situations, and the fact that you are talking about your experience means so much. you are so brave Rickey. you're fans love & appreciate you

Banks your the man. I know a lot of people that went there and never came back. I'm about the same age as you and I went through the same thing when I was in college. I'll be 2 years sober in January and I know yours is around that same time so congratulations man you just went through the hardest year of your life and came out like a boss. Whether you believe it or you went through all that for a reason. You've helped a lot of people just by telling your story. Keep it up man.

Only guy in FaZe I really fuck with

who else watched the whole vid?

Did anyone notice that he took so long to talk, it went from day to night

banks u r honestly a very inspiring person keep moving man and don't stop

I nearly cried watching this, you're an inspiration banks. So much respect for sharing your hard times to help others, you're the man we love you banks!

scarce is already making a vid

glad your back banks, really hope you stay in the you-tube industry for as long as you can and am going to keep watching your videos for as long as i can, you inspired me through hard times and some rough like rough shit. So THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

I remember when this video dropped! FAZE FOREVER!

Banks, please start a go fund me to sue this hospital.

He had an aderal addiction

Banks your the man. i was following you on snapchat while all this was happening and i was so confused and its so great to see you back making videos! Your the best

Thank you for bearing your soul. Everyone has gone thru stuff not as bad as being institutionalized but your a inspiration because you just told the world and that takes away the stigma. My heart hurts for your time then and is so happy your happy now.

We didn't bring tears to your eyes we brought money to your pockets

Free my nigga Oscar

i didn't really know your personality before this video but the whole story changed my perspective on everything and it was nice to see how everything worked out. Also the fact that your your own type of person is super cool. This is reassuring and humble for sure.

Thanks for explaining everything to us banks! Much appreciated keep doing you man. Always been a supporter!!

Hey guys it's scarce here and today the news is absolutely fucking crazy, FaZe Banks is back and I just think that's insane

If Adapt made this video it would be an hour long, 27 extra minutes of stuttering

We love you banks!! We will stay by your side no matter what, hope things stay getting better! Ending made me cry!

thanx soooooo much fo this video ,just bingee watching you. i only follow ahandful of you guys. you and joe santagato are my favorites this is the realest vid ive ever seen. im in canada and have a son your age imma get him to watch this too. dont change i love you

I watched the whole thing, amazing how you kept true to yourself

To summarize - Starts at 10:50 Almost was arrested at airport for going "crazy" on a plane, went through living hell in rehab, came back as a "traumatized" Banks for two months, met a new girl who helped him become himself again, going to move to LA but not live in the Faze house just nearby so that he can still be with the Faze members, going to start making videos again and is looking for editors for his videos and possibly animators/ Graphic designers.

Came back today to watch this, because I needed to hear someone else's struggles. You obviously made a full 360 at this point, and this may likely be a lifelong battle for you. I always identified with you more than everyone else in FaZe because I relate to you and your struggles. The past is the past, keep making lit content and evolving youtube bruh! You're a G

faze banks bro keep your head up I literally checked your channel once a week to see if u would upload until now I love you man u are the funniest youtuber I love how u say " fuck " welcome back brother.

There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing you home man! We are all here to love you and support you bud!

Your story is almost identical to my brothers story. Manic depression runs on my dads side of the family my dad's manic and my brother is manic with psychosis. To sum it all up 2 summers ago my brother had crazy thoughts about his boss that he worked for, (at the time he was smoking a lot of marijuana and other shit thinking it'd help him with his delusional thoughts but it didn't help at all) but anyways he thought his boss did shit to him, so he had a manic episode and he went into his house and hit him in the head with a baseball bat. After doing so he called the cops on himself because he realized he fucked up. The cops in turn locked him up in jail for the weekend, my parents drove 3 hours to where he was and bailed him out. He spent the week at our house after jail and wasn't at all acting himself, he thought everyone was out to get him, and thought people walking down the street were trying to get him or hurt our family. After staying with us for the week he spent 10 days in a mental hospital, then he came back home and had meds like lithium and other shit to calm him down. He then returned a half a month later because he was very suicidal during that time, he had a gun loaded and was seconds away from pulling the trigger, but my older brother found him just in time to save him. He returned to the same hospital for 2 weeks, he returned home and has been home doing good shit since. I have only told like 5 of my closest friends this shit, but I felt the need to share my brothers story. I'm now a senior in high school and it really hurt me to see my brother go through that shit. But wanted to share it so anyone who has gone through being crazy or living with someone who is crazy, just remember life gets better, even when you're at your lowest point you can come out of it and bounce right back. My brothers not fully the same nor will he ever be the same brother I had before. But I will always love him, thanks faze banks for sharing this story.

Much respect man I had anxiety to a lot, and my friends and family helped me through it

using the term "fucking rats" is that a way to remember your pet rat

CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION!!!!!😱

Very inspiring banks, I've been having a bad time right now and you've really helped me, thank you man

Hey Banks, i have insane respect for you and i am so glad that you are back and you are ok. I myself am dealing with alot atm but i know im gonna make it through i have alot of people here for me. you are one of (if not the biggest) my biggest inspirations. you have started a call of duty clan and turned it into something nobody would have thought of. You have gone through ups and downs and yet you are still one of the funniest guys out there. once again i have mad respect for you and i love you man, i hope all goes up from here! much love from canada

I'm glad your back man...we all are

Damn he went through a lot but now he’s poppin on KZfaq 🤘🏽

You've made it through some crazy shit Banks. From what I know your friends and family are beyond loving and caring. You have an amazing team (FaZe). You will be back in the house soon, get up the hard work. Focus on yourself, whether you move back in or not. Have fun and stay positive. Life isn't perfect and of all people who can confirm that, that's you. Good luck with your next steps and hope that girl helps with those steps too. Good luck man and good job. Truly inspired me. FaZe Up!!!!!

The Legend is BACK, BACK AGAIN,

I feel like FaZe Rain was one of the people that wasn't there for you

Wow im watching this video in april 2017 and im so proud of you you became banks and keep up the grind!!!!

This is such an amazing story. You told this story so so well. I'm late but this is amazing❤️

Fuck the past and look into the future. We will always love you Ricky👊🔥

#freeoscar, #oscaristheman

Banks I truly can relate to how you feel... I'm going through hard times right now and sometimes feel like I can do nothing about it... I feel down all the time, un motivated and it's literally driving me crazy... I just got put on medication and sometimes it makes things better but it really screws up my sleep... And going without sleep is the worst thing ever (like I'm literally typing this at 4am) it feels like I'm never gonna be better and no one understands me... Idk what to do... The only thing that is getting me through this is I know everything happens for a reason and if I keep pushing on keep fighting then everything should get better... But at the same time the doubt just seems to out weigh that feeling and it just makes me feel so terrible... I'm glad you made it through your situation... Everyone has a situation. Some worse than others and it's all about how you handle things! I just hope it works out for me like it works out for you man. This video has really inspired me bro! Thank you so much..... Just know you literally have thousands (now millions ;)) of people who love you and want you to succeed... I wish I was in your position but life's a bitch! Love you man. Stay humble and keep doing what you love

glad your back i first saw you in other videos mostly blaziken apex and rain. i love your personality. try your best good luck

Loved hearing "What's gravy in the Navy" again!!

So its scarce here and today we have some topics. first story comes from FaZe Banks and you guys might know him. Hes one of the leaders of FaZe and he completely shut out from social media for about a year and hes back now.

Good for you Banks. Its amazing to see this come from you man. Best of luck!

I get the substituted words in the beginning. I appreciate it Ricky. It helps me right now through what I'm going through! You kick ass bro

I love you banks hope you get better and I wish you the best of luck

LOL scarce where you at

Man everybody has their shit, it's great to see your friends were there for you during the hard times, it's great to see you coming back

This whole comment section all loves you Banks❤️❤️❤️

Before I say this I highly respect Banks and fucking love him but... That Hospital he was talking about kinda gave me that kinda Outlast vibe.. Anyone feeling ?...

who's here before this goes viral

Banks a goat for the openness

I'm 28 years old. I've been in and out of psych wards since I was 16. You spoke about your experience and everything you said is exactly what happens every place you go. They make you wait. They don't tell you anything, you don't know when your leaving, you never know when your gonna see your doctor. The accommodations are always shit. Every time they handcuffed me like I was an absolute lunatic. I know hearing I've been in and out of psych wards probably makes u think I am crazy and probably should've gone. But just like you I was struggling in life however they told me I was crazy. Idk I just completely understand the whole experience. I personally am a recovering addict and I've been to rehab many times and it's just hard. But I'm glad I've been through what I had been through cuz it's made me smarter, stronger and happier. I don't recommend it but thankfully I've been on the right track.

Good to see you're back you fucking squid 😂😂😂. All jokes aside I'm really glad you're back at it.
