Hello, it's me the one and only creator of
YouTube- oh, you didn't know that I actually made YouTube yeah
I was like twelve years old when it happened. I was pretty smart at the time
It's all gone downhill since then but um I- I finally got this award the sash
This beauty pageant thing to recognize my accomplishment as creator of
YouTube. Actually I was in New York the last few days for it was called the YouTube creator summit
It's something YouTube is been doing for like the past four years. I'd been invited to it before
This is the first time I went cuz I don't like to travel at all you know there's always videos to be done
Airports tend to not work in my favor my flights get delayed I get sick after I get back things
Just don't tend to go well, but I'm very happy I went. It was fun
Got to hang out with a bunch of other YouTube people go to this big presentation
Called Brandcast that YouTube puts on. This time it was at Radio City Music Hall
I guess it varies on the venue
But it was pretty cool and on the seats at Radio City Music Hall where they put on their Brandcast event they had these
around them
To signify it was where we were supposed to sit
But then people were taking them afterwards cuz otherwise they probably would've just gotten thrown out and it seemed cool
And then in the after-party thing wearing it around
Admittedly I don't like big crowds of people so I left pretty soon after eating
Some some sugary stuff which was quite delicious, but I could have worn this and had brands approaching me
Are you a creator?
Would you like to work with our product so maybe I should have stuck around a little bit more
But it's you know if you want to have people initiate conversation with you wear this
It'll work. I promise
Especially in public. They'll just probably think you're crazy, but it might initiate conversations anyway. While I was in New York.
I got something
You might already know what this is if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram those social media platforms
It was something I've been waiting for for quite some time
I don't know
maybe like nine months a while and
I was expecting it was gonna be shipped to me and I was gonna do like an unboxing video when it got here
But rather it was actually given to me
In the middle of one of the creator summit
presentation panel things they invited a few people upstage and
Handed these to them then you might already know what this is, but in case you don't
Finally here
After all this time the ten million subscriber
play button
And then on the other side
Says congratulations- It says here's the light so you can you see that light?
That's what I use to illuminate myself
And then there's the camera hold on maybe you can see if I just drop this down a little bit will do like an infinite
reflection here
You can see that it says congratulations on passing ten million subscribers from YouTube
Also as everyone is inevitably going to comment
Yes, it attracts a lot of fingerprints okay, but I don't know am I supposed to wear gloves when I pick the thing up
You're gonna say. Yes, you are Jordan
You need to put some respec on the play button and not get your dirty hands all over well
Like dirty hands all over it I want cuz it's mine
Even though you you helped out quite a bit by being here
Along for the ride, so let me just hold this up and reflect my monitor on it for the rest here
You can see my face in my monitor if I just angle it anyway, okay?
We've been waiting for a while for this, and we finally got it kind of heavy
do like some some curls with it just as I was with the million subscriber thing as we were unboxing the
100,0000000000000 subscriber thing I like how we've we've now got all the different tiers that YouTube offers here anyway
I just want to say thank you um Thank You YouTube for for giving this to me. It was actually much cooler
Just having it presented up in front of all the youtubers who were in the audience
Then I think just arriving at my front door so even though it means we don't have an unboxing video here
And there's no I didn't get that filmed someone might have filmed it
But I don't have the footage of going up on stage and getting it
I should have had the reflexes to hand my phone and just have someone film it on the spot
But I didn't so at least I'll have that moment in memory
But dude
when I forgot to mention is on the way back from New York I
So I had this thing in my suitcase I didn't think I was gonna fit everything in cuz I just had carry-on
I managed to fit it all in but I figure
This massive thing it's gonna trip off the x-ray machine. They're gonna pull the bag aside
Not only did I have that I also had this bowling pin
They made every youtuber like a hands painted uh bowling pin cuz we did a bowling night one night
Pretty cool. Actually. I got a strike a single one after trying for a very long time uh
Pretty cool. Do you see the resemblance uh?
Yeah, yeah doesn't have the hair flick
We need a like a three-dimensional thing going on up here, so I had this in the bag, and then I also had
The 10-million thing so I'm like alright obviously the bag is gonna get pulled aside
And so they open it up first off the guy gets to the bowling pin. He's like. I don't know if we can
Bring bowling pins on an airplane talks to supervisor hands off the bowling pin the supervisor goes and checks comes back
He's like I guess it'll be okay, and then he uncovers cuz this is buried a little bit deeper in the back
Yeah, and uncovers that he's like. What in the hell is this thing?
He pulls it out and
I'm like oh, it's an award from YouTube for getting subscribers. He's like oh what is it like for a hundred subscribers only no
It's ten million. He's like Jesus Christ. Yeah, I still need to check with my supervisor
I'm not sure if this is gonna work
And so he hands off the thing to his supervisor and my heart is just like it sinks like the bowling pin
It's cool and all but I mean God forbid TSA won't let it through I can live
the other hand this
No
No, I will Li- I will drive home if I have to that's not happening
You're not you're not taking this away from me
And so fortunately like a minute later supervisor comes back he's like it's it's fine
but for that for that minute or so I
Whoo I was having a little bit of a panic attack there
Can you imagine can you imagine
It wouldn't have been just me
obviously it means that the other I think there were four three three other people four total that were presented and
They all probably would have the same issue unless it depends. Who's checking your bag, but um
Yeah, we're good obviously I have it, but that was a moment right there. That was a moment
But thanks so much. I know that we hit 10 million a while ago and
Well, we were at a number, and there was this big unsubscribed thing the other day. I thought for a second
I was gonna go back below ten million again, but it stopped before that happened
Oh God, can you imagine?
how
How that would have been had I gone below ten million right before getting to YouTube's creator summit
And they're like we have this button for you, but you're actually not over 10 million anymore. I've been like
But it all worked out in the end and my flights were on time, so it was pretty incredible
That experience having my flights leave on time
but thank you guys so much really appreciate you sticking by throughout the years and has a little bit of a
fan service for those of you who enjoy Minecraft series as of right the second
There's a new one over on the CaptainSparklez Tube channel the first survival series
That's ever happened in a long time so if that seems like something up your alley
and you're still interested in that you can feel free to go watch and
That'll be something
That's going on on a it should be a semi regular basis over on that channel if you're not subscribed
And it's of interest to you channel's linked in the description as well as the first episode of that series
And you're free to check it out, otherwise
No obligation whatsoever it's just there, and I thought I'd let you know about it um
Yeah, man, I guess uh. I just wanted to I just wanted to share this you know
It it was a long time coming
Even after the actual achievement which was an even longer time
coming, but I will admit there was a time when I was like is this gonna am I gonna get this is it coming and
It did and it was cool to have it presented in that environment, so I think I was it was cool on youtubes part
Too they were probably not wanting to spoil it and be like well
This is what we're gonna do and that's why you haven't gotten it yet
But yeah, it was nice it all worked out in the end
So yeah, anyway, just a little lil video for you on receiving it and how
TSA almost
Confiscated it
Before I even got to get it here so that you could see it, but that'll be it for now
Thanks so much. I hope

Oh, I didn't even mention what it is
It's um are you interested? Cool, dude. Well it's called sev tech ages

kind of cool progression
Based thing where you trying to go from Stone Age to outer space and a lot of stuff in between and it seems yeah
There's like some you're you're cool. Yeah, you're like. It's okay. I'm talking to a bowling pin
You're like what am I still doing here? What am I still doing here. I'm gonna. I'm gonna end it now
So thanks for watching. Here's one more flash of the the play button one more
monitor reflection or you can see the writing on it and all the fingerprints and give me a hard time about it and I
will end it, there. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video
