- Welcome to the video that we never thought we'd make.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan from What's Inside
and today, we have our gold play button.
- I can't believe it's finally here.
(cheers)
- Whoa.
That is huge.
- We would not be here without YouTube.
There's no other platform like it.
The fact that we could take a second grade
science project and put up some videos
of us cutting open a few sports balls in our kitchen.
- (laughing) It's crazy.
- And then get to this point where we get
this award, thank you to the many of you.
You guys are the ones that subscribe.
(laughing) They're like the same size.
And this was amazing and I love this
silver play button, but really?
That's a big difference.
- (laughing) A huge difference.
(fast electronic music)
We got it. - [Dan] We got it.
(laughing)
Look at Lincoln.
(laughing)
Oh, did you hear that boom?
Boom.
- Whoa.
That's so cool.
- Look at the back of it.
It has six screw holes in it.
This thing is 11 pounds.
- Whoa.
When we cut open the silver play button,
we went on a fun trip with it.
But this is the gold play button.
It's so much bigger.
We've thought about it a lot.
And we think that we should take
the gold play button on a huge trip.
So basically, what I'm trying to tell you
is the gold button's trip around
the world begins now.

- [Dan] Nobody's here to greet us.
What?
Where's all the fans?
(laughing)
(upbeat ambient music)
♫ I see you staring at rockets in the sky
♫ Firing the liquid lining of your eyes
♫ I think you know ♫
- Oh, oh, what is that?
What's that inside of it?
(gagging)
Beans?
Oh, we got beans. (laughing)
I would have never guessed that.
(speaking in foreign language)
♫ We can make it to Mars
♫ Leave a fire in the dark
♫ Maybe find a place out in the
♫ Stars don't try to blow each other up ♫
(squeaking)
- [Dan] Now this guy using his foot brake.
Oh, just made it.
♫ We can make it to Mars
♫ Leave a fire in the dark
♫ Maybe find a place out in the
♫ Stars don't try to blow ♫
- [Dan] What'd it smell like in there, dude?
- Eww.
- [Dan] I think they only use them to pee in the corner.
♫ I see you, waitin'
♫ Miracles at night
♫ Standing still out ♫
- Bright, sunny day in Paris.
- Yoo-hoo. - [Dan] We made it.
♫ Make it
♫ We can make it if we try ♫
- They wouldn't let us get up to the Eiffel Tower
because I had my penny board with me.
Come on, Frenchies.
(shouting)
- We just walked into some kind of protest here in Paris.
That was kinda creepy, but cool.
Been to Paris and ate a baguette.
I think that's a success.
- It tastes like bread.
♫ We can make it to Mars
♫ Leave a fire in the dark
♫ Maybe find a place out in the ♫
- In Dubai, where it's a hundred degrees
Fahrenheit and it's cold with real snow.
- Yeah, we're in the mall, and there's a ski
resort inside of the mall.
So we brought the gold play button here.
Whoo.
- [Lincoln] Look.
(screams)
- [Dan] Good thing you're wearing that helmet.
Now you got snow in your gloves.

- That's right, the DeLorean in Northern Ireland, Belfast.
(thuds)
- There.
(cheers and applause)
- It's 6:00 AM in Belfast.
I just left the hotel, but Lincoln
is on a plane from Utah to London,
and I have to be there to pick him up.
♫ To Mars

- Hello, welcome to New York City.
What's up Lincoln? (laughing)
(grunts)
- [Dan] You found him.
- This place is so cool.
- Feel free to touch anything,
except for the sharp stuff.
(laughing)
Stay away from the switchblades.
- So for those of you that don't know,
this is Casey Neistats' studio.
2016 YouTuber of the Year, and more importantly,
to us, he's somebody that we've been watching
for about nine months now, every single day.
Right, Lincoln?
- Every day.
- [Dan] Okay, so here's something crazy Casy.
So we--
- Tell me.
- [Dan] Only other time Lincoln's been to New York,
what did you do last time?
- I went and met Bill Gates.
- [Dan] Bill Gates, richest man on the world.
That was really cool.
The second time he come here is to meet
Casey Neistat, which one are you more excited to meet?
- Sorry, Bill Gates, but Casey.
- That guy like cured Malaria.
(laughing)
Thanks, buddy.
Thanks for the good words.
- [Dan] This is a video camera that looks directly down
on the street.
This isn't like some touristy spot.
This is Casey's studio.
This is his GoPro that looks down
on all the people down there.
Nobody waits in front of our house
in little old Utah.
(laughing)
All right, so we've gotta get out of here.
We're gonna go cruising on the booster board.
- [Casey] Let's do it.
(electronic music)
- [Dan] Casey grabbing his time lapse.
Lincoln hanging out under the Brooklyn Bridge.
You couldn't ask for a better day.
- Unbelievable.
- [Dan] Is this always this way in New York for the summer?
- Yeah, right.
- [Dan] Oh, no.
- Booster board down.
(laughing)
- [Dan] Oh, no.
- What did you do?
- That booster board fell in the river,
thanks to me.
I used the wrong remote.
And it's gone.
Oh, man.
Such a dad boob.
You gotta go check out the What's Inside
the Gold Play Button Behind the Scenes
on Casey's channel because the booster board
rescue is on there.
It was a pretty good rescue not made by myself.
(laughing)
I made it.
- Yay.
- [Dan] Am I sweating at all?
- Ah, are you serious?
Is that water?
- [Dan] That's all sweat.
- [Lincoln] What?
- That's all sweat. (laughing)
- The busted boosted.
(crashes)
(laughing)
- So sad.
- You wanna see my gold play button?
- Yeah.
- Mine is not busted open.
Mine is still in the box.
I don't really know where to put it or what to do with it.
But let's not cut mine in half.
- Yes, smart, that's smart.
- Let's just put mine back in the box to protect.
- [Dan] So these are your other awards
for being a filmmaker?
- [Casey] Yeah you can cut those in half if you want.
(laughing)
- Thanks to our friend Casey, we are all set up.
We have this vise grip.
Everything is ready to go.
It's a bit sad, I mean we've traveled the entire world
with this thing.
- I am very worried, but so excited.
- It does say on here that it's 24-karat gold-plated.
Really, it means it doesn't have that much value.
It's not like real gold.
You can't really scrape off the gold,
in fact they say that it's so thin that you can take
an eraser from a pencil and just erase off the gold.
- Really?
- I've tried that, but that's what they say, yeah.
It's still, whether it's pure gold
or just regular steel or iron,
we're very grateful to have this award.
- All right, let's do this.
Time to cut open the gold play button.
(drilling)
("Behind Closed Doors" by Muoi)
- Whoa.
- [Lincoln] Yup it's hot.
- [Dan] It's not silver.
- It's not silver.
It looks like gold.
Like, seriously.
- It does look like gold.
The tablecloth that was black at the beginning,
check it out now.
Gold!
- Dude, so much fun.
So much fun.
Look at this thing.
- Dude, we gotta go Casey.
- Bye guys.
- I don't have time for this, we gotta go.
- I hope you make your flight.
Don't worry about this mess, I'll just clean it up.
You want the camera, or?
- We are in the taxi and we are so late right now.
Casey said that he goes a faster way
so we'll see if it works out.
(propellers roaring)
- All right.
- This is fun.
Wohoo.
(r&b music)
- Six minutes later we're at JFK.
- Exactly six minutes.
- Three or four weeks on the road,
or in the sky I should say.
- Yeah, that is true.
- And we're right back to where this whole video began.
It's really interesting 'cause when you look inside
of the gold play button, it's really yellow.
I did not expect that.
I thought it'd just be silver
with the gold plate on the outside.
- This would be such a huge thing of gold
to send to all the YouTubers that hit
a million subscribers so I doubt that it's gold.
- I'm with ya, I doubt that it's gold.
It says 24-karat gold-plated so it's not gold.
There's another type of yellow metal.
It is a type of brass and it is 60% copper and 40% zinc.
That's my guess.
That's what I think this button is made up of,
with a thin layer of 24-karat gold-plated
gold on the outside.
But now the last step is, let's put it back in the plaque.
- Wohoo.
Oh that looks so cool.
The line is almost perfect.
But just curves a bit right there.
- [Dan] I mean it's scratched,
it's a little dirty from our trip but you know what?
It's worth it, it's just like scars.
Sometimes scars are worth it
because the memories that came with it.
- Yeah.
- [Dan] Similar with this, we know those scratches are from
one of the most amazing trips that we've ever taken.
That cut in half silver play button,
the cut in half gold play button.
- Next one's diamond.
- [Dan] (laughs) 10 million, that seems so outrageous.
- I know, but one million and a hundred thousand
seemed outrageous, right?
- [Dan] It did, it did, it did.
I'll never say never.
But we're very grateful for the one million
and the one hundred thousand.
That's pretty darn good. - [Lincoln] Yeah.
- [Voiceover] Hold on.
- [Voiceover] Oh no.
- [Voiceover] Booster board down, booster board down.
- [Voiceover] It's just right there.
(laughing)
