 Ahsoka, this is my video, not yours. Woo, we did it y'all. We hit 100,000 subscribers. Just wanna take the time to thank you guys for the support. It's been a long journey. This took about four years, which is a lot longer than a lot of the YouTubers I know. And I'm just glad we finally got here. This is something I've always wanted since way back in high school. Only a select few know that this would be my third channel. So anyways, I'd like to take the time to react to some of my first videos. This is gonna be very terrible to watch for me. Usually as creators, we upload a video and we never really watch it again. And there's been a massive difference between 2017 Johnny to 2021 Johnny. And as much as I wanna private those videos, I like to leave it up for you guys so you guys can watch my journey. All right, so here is a good old channel. Let's go to the first ever video. So here we go, first video. I haven't watched this video in mad long. I'm already cringing, all right. Oh. Hey, what up y'all, it's your boy Johnny. Oh look. First off, let's talk about that hair. My hair right now isn't the greatest, I know that. But that is because I cut my own hair. If I wanna change my hair, I have to learn a completely new hairstyle and a completely new way to cut it. And I'm just too lazy. So I'm definitely not gonna be doing that. But this is uncalled for. This hair is like grass that was dyed black and just put on top of my head, let's keep it going. Johnny and today I'm gonna give you guys seven tips to look fresh for the summertime. So how I thought about YouTube is you had to be like over the top. Super enthusiastic to maintain people's attention. Keep it going. Look at that supreme metro card by the way. Good vibes, having a good time with your friends, chilling. What is this? At this time you guys don't know. But I used to edit videos for Richie Lee. My boy Richie Lee, big shout out to Richie Lee. He's been like a mentor to me. A lot of the editing style was similar because I did the same thing for his videos. And so everyone called me a copycat. But a lot of people don't understand that I was editing videos for Richie Lee. But anyways, I wore a lot of tanks because I was very insecure. I needed to show how much gains I made. All right, Johnny, come on, get into it. What you want to do is wear a lighter color clothes. Okay, I mean, it's hot. You got to wear lighter color clothes so they don't absorb PS. 45 seconds in and I got the video started. Tip number two is to get a leaner. I'm telling you guys, if you guys get a leaner, you guys gonna fit better in your clothes, your jawline's gonna fit better. Hey, Rick Owen said that, man. He said something about couture and working out. Yo, those one-armed push-ups, man. I can still kind of do it, but not as good as it was back then. Tip number three for looking fresh this summer is to wear shoes that pop. So I'm talking about your look. Little pop sound. Back then, you guys don't know. I shot everything myself. Tripod in public, in the middle of a huge crowd, just turning on the camera, walking like 10 feet and just like posing. It was the most awkward thing. Tip number four is to get a nice pair of shades. Yo! You see those shades? I think those are like bamboo shades. I got it on eBay or something. I'm like, yo, this is definitely gonna make me stand out. Everyone's wearing Ray-Bans and stuff. When Ray-Bans actually look way better than those shades. Sunglasses are that accessory that can really read the outfit, come together. And also protect your eyes. Yeah, those shades were not it. Tip number five is to stop wearing the same tees. This time I have a guy that likes a v-neck or likes a crew neck and he gets a bunch of colors of that same shirt. And I don't listen to this advice anymore. I have a bunch of the Unical Erasm tee in pretty much every color. Tip number six is to go out and get a tan, man. Obviously wears... This has summer fashion tips. Yeah, go get a tan. Go get a tan. You're gonna tan anyways in the summertime. Now you wanna start looking GBD, man. Golden brown and delicious. Golden brown and delicious. Who said, I think, I'm pretty sure big boy Johnny said that on Richie's channel. And I just stole that. I mean, that was a fresh cut because I just cut it myself in the video but that's not a good cut. That's pretty much it. Let's watch another video for good measure. Let's go on to how to look fly for fall 2018. Oh, what a beautiful day. Oh my God, these skits. Okay, that was a pretty good skit back then. That was actually one of my better skits. But you'll see me all super ecstatic when I start the video. What up fellas? It's your boy Johnny. So much energy. But it is fall. This is the best time of the year to look. I was like overly enthusiastic for no reason. You're going to need layering pieces, specifically flannels. Y'all remember the Jerry boy look? I was stuck in that for a few years. Okay, you want some layering pieces in general. So I'm talking about your denim jackets, your leather jackets, your varsity jackets and because you don't want hard nipples in public, man. Save that for the bedroom. So the third tip to look for fall. Oh my God. Add some depth and texture to your outfits. And it's either a way to dress up or dress down a street wear outfit. That's up to you, but my personal. I don't know why I did that. That is how you look fly for the fall season. This is the best time to look fly. Put some more effort in. Oh my God. I don't know why I had to be super over dramatic. All right, 2017 Johnny was just figuring stuff out, man. He was awkward. I didn't know what he was doing with his hair. 2018 Johnny was super into fitness, being an alpha male, which just in turn just showed how much I was overcompensating because really during this time, I was so broke. Tens of thousands of dollars in debt. My boy Frugal, we were living together in a small room. I was sleeping on the floor on a purple mattress and Christian was sleeping on a couch. It was a good time there, but also I was struggling financially. I had to work so many hours, plus try to build this YouTube channel. It was just, it was not a good time for this type of Johnny. So here, I wanna show you guys something. That is the first apartments where I started this channel at. You know, not much has really changed about it. It looks pretty much the same. The neighborhood looks really beautiful. And I do miss this neighborhood, but to be honest, it was pretty rough living out here. You know, I was broke. I didn't really have any friends at all since I just moved to New York city. And I was working around 50 to 60 hours while trying to build this YouTube channel. It was a pretty insane time. And so this is a saying in Chinese culture. I'm sure you guys have heard it all the time during Chinese New Year. And that is gong hei fa toi. And what that means is it's wishing you happiness and prosperity. And I had the opposite of both. So every time my family would say it to me, it did not hit at all. But now after a lot of hard work, leaving New York city to move back to New Mexico to go full time on YouTube, to coming back to New York city. And now, I finally got my dream apartment and I'm just super blessed. This is all because of y'all. Look at that view. So if some random kid from Albuquerque, New Mexico can make it, you can as well with a lot of hard work, consistency and just not giving up. There's gonna be a lot of struggles along the way which is why I wanna talk to you guys about the sponsor of today's video, Better Help. So as you guys heard about me starting off, I know some of you guys may have gone through similar situations or even worse. So that is why I wanna talk to you guys about something that is pretty serious and that is mental health. And you know as guys, this is something we always brush off and I was definitely one of them. But you guys can just see through my old content. I was overcompensating and behind the camera I was mad all the time. So I bring this up in the hopes that this will help someone out there. Honestly, I definitely could have used Better Help back in the day and I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on receiving therapy. So basically with Better Help, they're going to assess your needs and get you in touch with a licensed professional therapist within 48 hours. It is not a crisis line or self-help. It is professional therapy that is done securely online and it is done in many forms of communication as well. Video call, phone call or even live messaging. That way you don't have to sit in an uncomfortable waiting room nervously like you would with traditional therapy. So like with me, I started off with live messaging and even just live messaging was very helpful for me. And I'm starting to work my way into phone calls and then video calls. And I know a lot of guys would find the live messaging very helpful. And if you find that you don't have that connection with your therapist, not to worry, you can always switch to a new therapist from Better Help's network of over 20,000 plus licensed professional therapists, which is definitely something you would not find in your local area because there's only so many therapists in your local area. It is a lot more affordable than traditional therapy and financial aid is available as well. And you can do this all in the comfort of your own home.

All right y'all, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. It's definitely a lot different than the normal fashion videos. Obviously we hit 100K. I have no words to say, really. I'm just so grateful for you guys' support. I've already hung up the plaque on my wall and took pictures with it. It was a very surreal experience, especially coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where nobody really pursues this type of space. They usually go to college, get married, buy a house and they work at this place called Sandia Labs. That's just what everyone does and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just, this is definitely not what I expected growing up in that type of environment. Almost every single one of my family members has had a gun pulled out on their face or have been robbed, myself included. And so this is just not what I expected, man. And it's all thanks to y'all. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. And thank you Better Help for sponsoring this video. And until then, stay fly. Deuces.
