Hi, Mr. Clean Sun here.
- [Announcer] Meet Mr. Clean.
♪ Mr. Clean ♪
- So last week was my 10-year anniversary on YouTube
and I released a video that was really, really meaningful
to me, and if you haven't seen that yet you gotta
check it out, because it recaps the last 10 years
of me making content on YouTube and it might even hit you
in the feels a little bit.
(thumps) That kinda hurt.
Quarantine got me soft.
So I thought in keeping with that theme that I would do
something that I've been wanting to do for a very long time,
and that is react to my very first video.
I haven't seen this video in a very long time,
and I'm very curious to see what the view count is,
to see what people's reactions are today if it's still
getting views because I know that a lot of people go back
and watch a creator's very first video after they
start getting subscribers and things like that,
but I do warn you, this is probably going to be cringe-y
because I didn't know how to properly video edit.
I didn't know what white balancing was.
I didn't know a lot of things.
You're gonna see what I mean in a minute.
Here we go.
Got the MacBook loaded up.
It's time to watch this masterpiece, possibly nightmare.
Oh yeah, baby, yee hoo, text the Pope.
May 13th, 2010, my God.
553,000 views.
You know what's crazy about that?
When I first made this video, I would never have guessed
in a million years that this video would've hit
1/2 million views.
I remember back then getting 1000 views was a huge deal
and the only way that I could do that was to text it out
to pretty much all my friends and even only that would
get me like a few hundred views.
Good times.
Okay, here we go.
(speaks in foreign language)
Welcome to my first show.
It's so good to have you here.
Give me a hug, oh you son of a bitch.
Too much?
Yeah.
Sorry.
My first show was supposed to be on Tuesday,
but I didn't have time, so here it is now like I promised.
Good to have you with me.
My name's Matt Santoro.
Some of you already know me.
Some of you don't.
For those of you that don't, (beep) you.
No, I'm just kidding.
I love you all.
Okay, before we (laughs) oh my God.
The cringe is real.
Before we even continue, there's a lot to unpack,
just even in that first 24 seconds there.
I didn't even say (speaks in foreign language) right.
I think I'm saying it right now, but back then I just said,
I don't even know what I just said.
That was not proper Spanish.
Wow, baby face Matt.
No beard.
Probably a good 50 pounds heavier.
No muscle whatsoever.
Hair, hair?
Who is this person?
This is not Matt.
We got a breakout on the side there.
This is just (smacks) Matt at his best.
Welcome to the show that doesn't even have a name,
but that's okay 'cause we don't need roads
where we're going.
I mean names, names where we're going.
Names.
Where we're going we don't need roads.
What is that from?
I remember that from a movie.
I remember I was watching a movie and I saw that from,
hold on, is it Back to the Future?
It is Back to the Future.
I knew it.
This next part somehow I got away with using copyrighted
music and to this day it still has not been claimed.
By our very first sponsor, Sesame Street.
♪ I'm on a boat ♪
Do you guys remember that song when it was big
back in the day?
I gotta pause that and explain why I did that.
There were multiple people who,
back in the day, inspired me.
A lot of what you're watching right now is a lot of stuff
borrowed from a lot of other personalities,
like reviewing viral videos, like I kind of just did,
was Ray William Johnson.
He was an OG of the platform,
actually my biggest inspiration for starting my channel.
As you see, as the videos go on from here, I review
news stories, which was a Philip DeFranco type thing.
There's a clone coming up,
which is like a wheezy waiter type thing.
These are all names that were OGs on the platform
back in the day, but you'll see what I mean.
We'll continue.
What was on my mind today.
The other night, I told my girlfriend that she makes
my heart smile and she told me I make her vagina smile.
(laughs)
I'm so sorry. (laughs)
I don't know why I said that.
My girlfriend at the time didn't even know that I was
gonna say that and I just released the video
and then her family saw it.
I remember goin' over to her house and her family was like,
so, you make my daughter's vagina smile, huh?
And I was like (crickets chirp).
Yes.
Is that normal?
That's not something people should say.
It's not. You're welcome for the visual.
See, I was picturin' that wasn't normal.
Oh, just got an email.
I love the iPhone.
Oh my God. Another email.
Wait, wait, let's just, wait a second.
Let's go back to that.
Holy crap.
I think this is the iPhone 3G.
Back then you couldn't even change the background
of the phone.
Look at the apps on the phone.
This is how old this is.
Oh my God.
I was using a to-do list.
I was using Facebook, of course.
I was using that, oh my God.
This brings back so many memories.
That orange app is called twit something.
But I remember it was a popular Twitter app at the time.
There was a navigation app that cost me like $100,
'cause back then it was like mind blowing that your phone
could actually direct you places.
My CIBC app.
Oh my God, look at, there was an iPod app.
The orange iPod app.
This is wild.
You know what I heard today?
The Vatican launched a service that you can
text message the Pope.
Is this the right time for that?
Here we go. Really, with
all the stuff going on right now and all (beeps) rumors
and now the Pope is.
Okay, let's just pause there for a second.
I misspelled (bleats).
I don't even know if I'm allowed to say that
because I'll probably get demonetized.
I misspelled a word that's totally ad friendly. (laughs)
Again, this was very rough.
I had no idea what I was doing.
I clearly couldn't spell back then either.
Defending them, hiding them, keeping them away
from the authorities.
Really, is that a good idea right now?
Like I don't know, I wanna know what you guys think.
And I'm not makin' this up.
This is the actual thing.
You can send a text message to the Pope.
Now the text messages don't go directly to the Pope.
They go to his people, who forward it to him by the end
of May, which is a good thing because not all those
text messages are gonna be positive and not all of them
are gonna be from adults.
Dear Pope, why did you let Father John diddle me?
Yeah, little Timmy has a--
(laughs)
Oh my God.
Oh that was tryin' to be a little controversial back then.
So back in 2010, there was that huge thing that was going on
where the Catholic church was like hiding priests.
But that's what was in the news.
I thought that I would talk about it.
I thought that was an interesting thing.
Oh my God, this is so cringe.
That's an actual service, and if you don't believe me,
I'll put the number that you can text the Pope right here.
Send him whatever you want.
And if any of you do text that number,
let me know if you get a response 'cause I'm really curious
as to what happens after you send it.
Like, do you get a response text saying,
thank you for texting the Pope.
Your name has been recorded.
We promise you will not be diddled this month.
Yeah, the Pope and his people have the exact same phone
as little Timmy.
Okay, just looking at the background of the video,
everything's in focus.
There's no blur like this video.
I got the lamb sheep ram, that's what this thing
right here is.
You can see my freakin' microwave perfectly,
like more so than me even.
Everything was orange, no white balance at all.
Not to be a random thought, but is that Oh My God song
stuck in anybody else's head?
♪ Oh my God ♪
Yeah, that one.
That was a huge song at the time.
Usher was big that year.
I think Kesha was big that year.
Lady Gaga with Bad Romance I think was a thing that year.
Oh my God, I just even noticed that television
in the background.
Look at that thick boy TV.
Look at that thick boy.
I think you would have a hard time even finding
a television like that.
You can't even give away a TV like that.
That kind of a TV is ancient.
You need those old school AV cables and the yellow goes
on the yellow and the red on the red and you gotta make sure
that you put it in the right thing and the right thing
or else you won't get the right sound you're lookin' for.
Where's the picture?
This is the first show, I thought I might give you
a little bit of an idea of exactly what's goin' on.
Right now my plan's to put out episodes Tuesdays, Thursdays.
I hope that fits with your schedule.
It fits with mine.
There's three different ways that you can get ahold of me.
(laughs)
Sorry, it still makes me laugh.
One is by add replying me on Twitter.
One is by sending me a message on Facebook.
And one is by replying to my videos
or posting a video response.
Oh my God.
For those of you that aren't OGs and are relatively new
to YouTube, there was once a thing called video responses.
And it was actually a really cool feature.
You could actually respond to videos with your own video,
and it was a feature that people were using less and less
so I guess YouTube took it away, but man,
it was pretty cool actually.
It was kind of an innovative thing.
I mean, nowadays you can't do that on almost any website.
It's all just comments.
Like you can't even respond with a picture.
Imagine if on Instagram when somebody posted a picture,
if you could post your own picture.
That would be great for Instagram models who are postin'
like look at my butt.
You like that big booty?
And then you've got pervert Eugene posting a picture
of himself responding like, oh, hello, (chuckles)
yes, that looks lovely.
Will be in the other bar.
And if I really like your comment,
I'll put it in my next video.
And yes, I will read all of your comments,
so feel free to send those to me.
Make them sexual.
Okay, well not sexual, but they can be funny.
They can just be sayin' hey.
They can be an interesting news story.
Whatever you want.
Sexual.
This was a thing that I used to say back in the day.
It actually started in my earliest vlogs.
They don't even exist anymore.
I deleted those, which I definitely regret.
And by the way, if you ever make content, don't delete it.
Even if you don't wanna post it online, just save it,
'cause one day you're gonna wanna look back and make a
10-year video about it and you can't 'cause they're deleted.
Thanks for tuning in to my very first show.
I'm excited about it, how 'bout you, baby?
Got me all excited in my pants.
I just went from six to 12.
(laughs)
- Dude, you'll never guess what I
just texted. - Dude, what are you doing?
Sorry about that.
What, I live with my clones, you don't?
Okay, that was my first attempt at cloning myself.
That was actually the first like prototype of Eugene.
Let's go back to that.
And by the way, let's just check out how bad the key framing
is on this, the masking.
- Dude, you'll never guess what--
- Look, look, I'm like half disappeared on the side.
I remember editing this and it was a nightmare because I had
to cut out every single frame of me in the background
and it was because of this video that I learned how
to properly mask.
By the way, can we just take moment
to appreciate that hoodie?
Who did I think I was?
A rapper?
Sorry 'bout that.
What, I live with my clones, you don't?
The yellow subscribe button, wow.
Let's see what the comments say.
544 likes.
The hair migrated from his head to his face.
Yeah, I'm like a reverse Chia Pet.
Matt used to be so much weirder than he is now. (laughs)
We got a lot a more of that comin'.
Looking back at this is just so many good memories.
I had just gotten off my shift of my accounting job
and that's why I was wearing that green ugly collared shirt.
This is why I started creating content,
it was stuff like that, just to make people laugh.
I hope that you guys enjoyed that video.
If you enjoyed this, as always, drop a like on it,
leave a comment, let me know how you guys are enjoying
this new format, this new style of stuff
that I'm doing here.
I'm just tryin' to have fun with it again, you know.
It's been a long time.
Look forward to my short film coming out May 26th.
I have a short film coming out.
It's my second ever.
It's all about burning down the forest and new beginnings
and letting go of the past.
I think you're really going to enjoy it.
So look out for that.
And other than that, I'll see you guys in the next video.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
I always gotta be a weird outro. (laughs)
