- Woo
- We did it
- What
- Today I'm going to be giving away gold play buttons
for hitting 1 million subscribers on our channel.
That's right, inside of these boxes.
You look on the side,
it says society awards right there too.
This is the company that makes the silver,
the gold, the diamond, and even,
this may not look like much,
but this is the beginnings of the 100 million subscriber.
It's hard to even fathom that many people award the Ruby.
I think it's called the red diamond
or Ruby diamond or something.
This is actually baccarat crystal,
this is what it looks like.
We've made a video about all of these things.
We've gone to the factory, where they make these,
you see the ones on our wall,
We have our gold play button that's up there,
our silver play button that we took
around the world then cut,
in half with Casey Neistat in his studio.
This is his diamond award that we cut open in a studio.
The YouTube awards are a very special thing,
and to us they're very meaningful because
through cutting open our awards and making videos on them
we've been able to reach a whole new audience
across the internet and, also showed you how grateful we are
for every single one of you.
- This is so cool, look at that, YouTube,
YouTube.
That's it in that box, okay, all right.
We're making progress here.
All right, last big box.
How many did I order?
All right, what do we have here?
How many?
I don't even remember how many I ordered. One.
We've got five gold play buttons in here,
two silvers, and,
six letters supposedly.
So, let's start opening these up. All right.
Let's start with this silver.
Oh, this is very important.
This box has been inspected by Rick.
That's right, if you watched our video
when we went to the actual place, I was like,
how come all these have been inspected by Rick? Who's Rick.
And Rick's like, I'm Rick.
- Who's Rick.
There's Rick right there.
Look, guys.
If yours ever says inspected by Rick, there he is right here
With care. That's pretty cool.
- 100,000 subscriber award.
This paper is a little thicker,
and this logo looks a little different than before.
This is for what's inside.
This is for our main channel. So clean.
Because this is the one that we have
for our main channel right now.
This is the one that we got that we cut open,
it was like 2015, I think.
And we cut this thing in half and people lost their minds.
It was like the first time that
anybody had destroyed their award.
We did what we do on our channel, we cut things in half,
And so I thought it'd be cool to have an extra one,
but really the main reason why I got this is
because Lincoln will be going to college in a few years.
I know, that's insane, because he was just such a
little guy in this video,
but he's going to be going to college,
So I got a silver play button
and a gold play button just in case he wants to take it
to college with them and like, put it on the wall.
That might be a little weird to be like, hey, look at me.
But at the same time he's earned this
and I don't really want to give him this one.
I want to keep it in a studio.
So we got him an extra silver button.
Lincon, you're welcome.
So this is the What's Inside Family award right here.
And if you look at the one, this is the one
that they had when we hit a hundred thousand subscribers.
It was super temporary.
We cut the middle out of the award somehow with like a wire.
It cut it perfectly, it was the weirdest thing.
So, yeah, so I decided to get another one just
because it looks kind of cool to have the fresh one.
I might even replace that.
It's so clean and shiny. Okay.
And now for the big boy, what do we have in here?
You did it, YouTube, yay.
- Inspected by Rick. Thank goodness Rick inspected this.
Oh man, big. Did they change the size of it?
It feels bigger than the other one.
Oh man, look at that.
So this is going to be going to my employees.
They deserve to have this,
they helped with the channels so much.
So what happens with YouTube is once you hit a million,
they will give you a redemption code basically,
And you get one of these for free.
But as you know, a lot of YouTubers are big companies.
Sometimes you have big corporations that are hitting, like
think about Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel, or like NBC.
There's definitely a bunch of media groups.
They hit a million subscribers and more
than one people deserve to get an award because they helped
in that channel hitting a million subscribers.
So they provide this as an option
for people that really helped
with the channel hitting millions subscribers and
that they would like to have an award there.
So anyway, that's why my team is getting em.
So there we go. Gold award.
Oh, this is new.
This is new.
Hey, check it out.
This is the letter, but it's actually silver.
It looks so clean and crisp and nice.
And then it comes perfectly ready
for you to hang it on the wall.
That's so cool.
I wonder if I should put it up?
Oh yeah, totally gonna to hang that up.
Pretty sure I got a gold one too.
YouTube, this is new.
I like it.
Look at that, that is fresh.
Okay. This is really cool.
Oh, that's cool.
This is a nice addition.
I like this, this wasn't out
back when I got my YouTube award.
We did it, we did it, they're all up.
We got the YouTube awards,
these are the gold, the silver,
the new letter that came out with it.
And I'm going to be giving these away.
Some of you that might've clicked on this video thinking
Well I wanna win one, you're just giving
them to your employees, what's up with that?
I am going to give one away to one of you,
but it's going to be for our short clips channel.
We've got a link in the description.
Once that hits a hundred thousand subscribers
I'm going to choose a couple of people.
I'm going to order a couple of extra silver awards,
if we hit gold, do the same thing,
and I'll send it to one of you.
So you can go subscribe to other channel.
If you'd like to, if you'd like the content on there.
Here's the trick with this video,
none of my employees live within 300 miles of my house.
I need to travel to two different states,
to four different locations,
and need to give this to each one of them.
So let's see their surprises.
Are they good surprises or not?
I have no idea what it's going to look like,
but hopefully they're grateful,
cause I am grateful for them for helping so much.
Sometimes people are just like,
man, YouTube looks like such an easy job,
you just make videos?
And yeah, it's a great job.
I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it is so much work
and there's no way that I could do it
without my team of awesome people around me,
so just a small gift to appreciate the people
that helped us get this far.
Yeah, I wonder why I got them all
out because now I have to package them all back up.
- Okay. So now I am in Phoenix, Arizona
I'm in front of the herd building, which is
this is where Steven's office for Bear Energy Drinks are.
So Steven is somebody that's worked with us
for a long time, and it's not like an official employee
but he's edited a ton of videos.
So Hunter is coming down here,
Hunter lives in Arizona right now.
They both have no idea that I'm doing this,
and I'm getting to giving them,
I keep looking around to see if they're here,
They have no idea that I'm going to be giving them
a gold play button,
So hopefully the surprise goes well and they're excited.
We'll see. See how this goes.
Here we go, we made it inside, we've got Hunter.
- Hey
- With the neck gaiter
- Oh yeah, the mask. I always forget that I have
- That's always gotta be ready.
- He's just ready to throw it on.
- I have to be ready
- And then, we got Steven over here and uh,
how's the David Dobrik puzzle coming?
- Well, that was about a week ago,
And you added two pieces to it. So it's going well.
- I've got something here that I wanted to give as a gift.
So yeah, here, take one of those.
Take one of these.
You guys both get a gift here.
Go ahead and open it up.
Basically. I wanted to thank you guys for all your
hard work on our YouTube channel, and so I got you a gift.
- What?
- It's the same noise at the same time.
- What?
- No
- What
- Wow. This is the legit card from Rick
- It's Rick dude. Rick, yes
I made sure I asked, specifically asked
that Rick would check those out.
So no, it doesn't say bear on it,
doesn't say a hundred to freeze,
but a big reason for our family channel
even reaching a million subscribers is due you kicking butt
on editing our videos and, for Hunter kicking butt
on our videos and all of our social and everything,
So I reached out to the awards people and I'm like, Hey.
Give me some awards to give to these guys.
So you can have that. It's yours.
- I'm thinking, I don't really know what to do.
- What? Well thank you, I can say that.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
I didn't think I'd ever get a letter from Susan herself.
They, I didn't know they made these,
and so, they're gold letters.
- Yeah they used to be just paper
- Yeah. I mean, do you still do to get the paper one
in there, like it came with
the paper one right here,
but I paid extra and got the gold one for you.
Just because what the heck.
- It looks amazing.
- Isn't that cool looking? So yeah.
You can just always keep this.
I mean that's What's Inside family,
but you're a big part of it.
So yeah.
- Dude, thank you so much
Yeah, you're welcome.
That's one of the main reasons why,
I wanted to come down here.
It's just to give you guys that
- I'm like, I'm shocked.
- I know, that's the last thing
- So you've worked with us before, obviously,
like how many videos have you edited
for people that don't know?
Cause you're like, you're like behind the scenes,
you're like top secret.
So you don't officially work for What's Inside.
I know now it's out there
- I think it's like 110 or 120
- 110 or 120 videos you have edited.
The most successful video on our family channel of all time
was edited by you.
Yeah. Yup. The hamster video.
Hamsters.
But that was big. People. That was a really funny video.
Like you added the voices in there,
and like all this stuff that edit was so good.
Everybody thinks that Hunter is the editor.
Let's just clarify this right now.
How many What's Inside videos have you edited? For YouTube?
- Probably like five to ten like, on What's Inside Family.
- And then, but for all the other socials
you edit stuff down.
- Yeah. I handle all the social.
So everything like on Tik Tok, 90% on there,
Facebook, like 99%,
- How long have you worked for What's Inside?
- I've worked for What's inside, come April,
it'll be four years.
- What are you going to do with this gold award?
- We gotta hang this up, uh, my friend and office mate here.
Derek is going to be mad because, no, jealous,
He's going to be jealous, Cause I have a million plaque
There's your awards. Thank you guys for helping out
with What's Inside family for all these years.
Am back from Arizona. Hunter, Steven, checked off the list.
Now we have to get Jason and Matt here.
So here's the idea.
Instead of me going
to their house and filming at their house,
i decided to just have them come here to the studio,
so I purchased airplane tickets on separate days
for Jason and for Matt, they're going to come down.
I told them that we are starting a podcast,
which we are by the way,
so we'll have a link to that channel down below,
and we're going to give away our silver play button
Once we hit a hundred thousand subscribers.
We're going to give away a few of them to some of you guys.
So here's what I'm going to do.
We'll start the podcast.
We'll do an interview with them.
We'll have the full interview on the podcast channel.
And then at some point I'm going to pull
out the gold play button and the letter and give it to them.
And then right now I will show you their reaction.
So hopefully they're good reactions
of when I gave them the award on the podcast,
kind of a fun way to do it.
They're going to have no idea.
They just think it's coming here for a podcast,
but it's not.
Today we have a guest, Matt Sanchez,
one of my really good friends,
and he's actually an employee
of what's inside and worked for us for years.
So I just remembered, I have something really interesting
that I want to show Matt.
Hold on a second.
- Okay, great. Oh no.
I don't know. I don't know what's happening.
- You're back on camera.
This is something recently we got, check this out, man.
- Okay.
- Let's see.
So this is, you know, they do the YouTube gold play buttons
and they give you like a letter.
They made a gold letter, which is cool.
And it shows like the whole letter.
So anyway, we've got this letter, and then
we also had him send us this and I thought, you know what?
For all the hard work that Matt has done,
I'm going to give him his own
YouTube gold play button to take home,
do whatever you want with it.
Put it on your wall, throw it in the garage, whatever
- This, this is awesome dude.
- Our family channel, like wouldn't have been where it was
without the hard work you've done over the years.
I really didn't go to a million.
So that's yours.
I got it for you, and look at this.
You see that thing.
It was inspected by Rick even.
- Hey Rick, thank you, Rick. Here we go.
Thank you, dude.
- Here's your own letter
- It's fun. It's it is fun.
You know, like we were just saying like,
it's like your family's like living journal and stuff,
but it is cool to be a part of and like, I dunno
like you almost like helping leave behind something,
even though, you know, I'm not in the videos and I,
you know, it's not, it's not my thing
but it's fun to be a part of the team who gets to like,
put out fun content and stuff. So yeah.
Super, super cool.
Oh, this is awesome.
- Not that many people have gold play buttons.
So I'm like the other day I was like, I've got to do this.
So anyway, that's why I went to Arizona.
I gave one to Hunter and Steven and surprised them.
And Matt is flying here or Jason's flying here
on Wednesday and I'm going to give him one. So.
- That's great
All four of you guys have your own gold play buttons
Today's special guest is another one
of the What's Inside employees.
And it's in fact the very first employee that we ever hired.
And so this is Jason Sherman.
He is our editor, full-time editor,
he's been editing for many years,
and he's done some amazing work.
Jason, welcome to our studio for the first time ever.
And I think it's important to say this.
Like, you don't even live here.
You live like five hours away.
We flew you in today just for this. How does that work?
Is it okay being remote,
but being an editor like a full-time employee?
- I personally love it.
I think it works perfectly for being an editor.
I mean, I have to just shut my door
and just work all day long and it not having distractions
or anything of an office or anything like that.
- Okay. So we've done, have you been part of any
of our gold play button videos or silver play button videos?
- Yeah, I think so, yeah.
- I'm trying to think you did the one where
we did where we, where we did the Pewdiepie award,
you edited that one.
It's like the one we went to Baccarate, France.
- Yeah that was awesome
- Casey Neistat.
When we smashed his diamond, cut his diamond in half.
I don't know about the gold or anything, but anyway.
I've just got them on the wall, which is cool.
But YouTube sent me this recently,
which I thought was pretty cool.
I didn't know if you know this
but they do like a letter check this out.
They do. They send you a letter where it's like
you're bigger than this place, you're bigger than that.
And they took the letter and they made it on gold.
So it looks like it's like this cool gold letter.
And so anyway, Jason's opening it right now.
It's like super shiny for letter from Susan.
And it's like, you're bigger than Vancouver.
You're bigger than Venice.
You're even bigger than Las Vegas.
1 million subscribers.
And you've seen the different play buttons,
Like there's that, you've seen.
This is the one we have it on the wall.
But like, this is the one that's like the
What's Inside Family gold play button. That's cool.
And so I reached out to YouTube and I'm like,
Hey, I'd like some extras. So I bought some extras,
and Jason, this is a gift to you.
- Whoa.
- You can take this home with you
- Really?
- YouTube gold play button.
- That's awesome.
- I got it just for you so Lincoln and I got it for you.
So What's Inside Family and like the main channel
and the family channel would not be where it is
without you editing so many videos. So I'm like,
I've got to get you a gold play button that you can put
in your house somewhere.
- Thanks man. That's awesome. That's going to my office.
- Perfect. And you can have the letter too, so,
- Oh that's amazing.
And side note. That's the whole reason why we set
up the podcast so that I could get you this.
- So, so did you interview Matt?
I did interview Matt.
I did interview Matt and then Steven and Hunter.
I didn't do the podcast because we ran out of time,
but I did surprise them. And even more fun.
After this, you get to edit the video of,
surprising my employees with gold play buttons.
- Whoa, awesome
- Yay
- That's so cool
- For real, like we do have a podcast that we're launching.
So if you want to see the full interviews
with both Jason and Matt, like we won't be releasing those.
So your wife's going to be like,
why do you have this that's weird
- No, she'll love it too
- She'll think it's cool
- I've got some clout on my wall now
- That's true.
You know what, that's what I'm going to do.
When we hit 100,000 subscribers on our
podcast YouTube channel,
I will pick a few of you, and I will give away the
podcast channel silver play buttons,
How about that?
And if we hit gold, a million, that's great too.
I'll give away a few on there. So that's the plan.
And now Jason's got to fly all the way back home.
And I just came down here to film this today
and he's got to carry that on the plane
with him and, he needs to edit this video.
So thanks for, thanks for editing this video, Jason.
I was like, I usually am like talking to the camera.
I'm like, thanks Jason for doing that.
But no, thanks Jason.
And he's just like right here in life.
This is weird.
We don't see each other that often in real person.
So that's where we're at.
Thanks a lot guys.
And yeah, thanks to everyone that subscribed to
even make it happen on this family channel.
It's been a fun adventure and a fun ride.
It's still continuing. This isn't the end.
Cause I'm giving away the play buttons, but yeah.
Thanks.
- Ooh.
- Come around here and check them out.
- Oh my gosh. There's so many of them.
- There's so many.
- Oh, they're so pretty
- But they don't touch the table cause they will fall.
- Have they fallen?
- No, they haven't fallen yet.
- Okay. Oh my gosh, that's awesome. What's this?
- I know. Come around to this side. Stand on your box.
- This is a new thing
- Oh my gosh that makes me nervous
- We have a gold play button for Anna,
silver plate button for Lincon
If he wants to take one to college,
- I think he does. I think that'd be kinda cool
- Yeah, I think he does
- He hasn't taken the call. It's just that he has his own.
- Yeah, it's like his own thing.
And then we have four different gold awards and gold letters
for four of our employees
- Are, it's the exact same as this, right?
- It's the same as that.
Except these ones haven't been washed with water.
- I know I can see that, I was like ew.
Let's do some Windex on there
So cool
- Yeah, isn't that amazing?
- I think they're gonna love it.
I think it's one of the like,
most thoughtful gifts you could give them for sure.
- I think it's a really cool gift.
I hope that they appreciate it.
- What
- Whoa
- Hamsters
- What's up with that
