(high-pitched rewinding)
- I sure do love that stuff.
Low calories and tasty, mm-mm.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Welcome to my first show, it's so good to have you here,
gimme a hug, oh, you son of a bitch.
Too much?
Welcome to the show, my name is Matt Santoro,
and this episode is brought to you
by children who will one day be ninjas.
I'm gonna start posting vlogs and stuff like that.
And they are coming, just be patient,
I don't know what's taking YouTube so long.
I wanna keep these vlogs as sort
of (clears throat) a reminder in the future
of what my life was like in
a specific point in time.
I just lost my job.
I feel really lost today, I feel like,
I feel like I don't really know
where I'm going or what I'm doing.
My spirits are coming back up a little bit.
I have no intention of stopping making videos
because I, you know, I have faith
that if I do this for long enough, something will happen.
- You have to be your biggest fan.
- I just hit 15 thousand subscribers
on my main channel on YouTube.
I'll probably be at about 30 thousand.
I'm about to hit 100 thousand subscribers.
It is my four year anniversary
of my very first upload on YouTube.
I just hit a million subscribers.
I got Twitter verified.
This morning, I woke up to three million subscribers.
- He is one of the world's largest YouTube stars,
with more than 5.5--
- Dude, you got a lot!
- Yeah, I do!
God!
- Yes!
- Part 10.
- I'm tired of (mumbles)
And I think it will only continue to grow.
- How does it feel to be
the biggest Drake fan on YouTube?
- Oh, that feels the best.
- He's lying, he's just a nice person.
- I had a spiritual awakening through
a tremendous amount of pain.
I remember when I started making YouTube videos,
I just wanted to make people laugh.
I just... wanted to be a goofball.
I just wanted to make videos to make the world smile.
And here I am, five and a half years later,
and I just hit five million subscribers.
Relax, guys, relax.
Oh, my God, (laughs) they're going crazy.
That wasn't as easy as I thought it was gonna be.
(laughs)
Why am I so nervous now? (laughs)
Like, I don't know what to say.
All right, let's try again.
Today marks the 10 year anniversary
of my very first YouTube upload,
and it's been quite the journey
over the last 10 years, I mean,
when I first started, back in 2010,
it was a very, (laughs) very different place,
as you can imagine.
Back then, I was just a small town kid
who had dreams of taking being a class clown,
that I always was in grade school
and high school, and even university,
and putting that onto a world stage,
and I feel like I was able to do that.
But the last 10 years have not been without
its ups and downs. (laughs)
It's been a wild journey.
During that time, I suffered many heartbreaks,
both in the YouTube community,
and in my personal life.
But throughout it all, I feel
like you guys have been there with me.
In the end, if I had to do it all over again,
I absolutely would, because this has been such
a unique, beautiful journey
that I've been able to experience.
And it's exciting to know that you're still here,
that you're still watching,
and that I have the privilege
of continuing to make this content for you.
The most exciting thing is what
the next 10 years are going to bring.
What the next year's going to bring.
I'm going to be changing up my content,
I'm going to be doing some new and exciting things
for you guys, and, most importantly,
scratching that creative itch
that I started getting all the way back then,
and that I still have today.
So, before I end this video,
I wanna say one final time, a huge thank you
to all of you guys, because I'm telling you,
you absolutely changed my life
and gave me everything that I have.
And I promise to continue to use my platform
and your attention in a way that continues
to share good vibes, love, positive energy,
and all of the things that my goal has always been
to be, which is just to spread happiness
and love into this world.
And if I've ever made you happy, or smiled,
or even creeped you out a couple times
with my videos, or made you smarter
through the educational stuff,
then I think I've done my job.
So, thank you guys one final time,
and I'm excited to see you in the next chapter.
