Credit and y ranscription below cut:
Clipped from the 1 million sub special, "Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 283: 1 Million!" (starting at 28:40)
Young Etho: Hello everyone. Etho here again with episode nine of our Let's Play minecraft adventures
Etho: Ah, the voice is so different
Young Etho: And uh, before we can do anything this episode... I noticed, I just passed one thousand subscribers on YouTube
Etho: Oh, don't rub your nose
Young Etho: I'm blown away
Young Etho: Over a thousand people willingly choose to watch me do crazy, stupid stuff in this game
Young Etho: And I think that is just awesome
Etho: I don't know how you did it
Young Etho: So thanks to everybody who's- who is subscribing. And uh, please continue watching. We'll have lots of fun together.
Young Etho: And, uh, to celebrate the event, I planted this tree
Young Etho: to commoderate [commemorate] it
Young Etho: It's gonna be a great tree ^-^
Etho: *laughs loudly* Needed a long pause there for emphasis
Etho: Yes! And a torch, he placed a torch! *laughs* I love how it's pitch black and you can't see anything.
Young Etho: Okay. So this is where the guest of honor's gonna sit.
Etho: And you've got an inventory full of torches and you're not using them. *laughs*
Young Etho: I really wish we got a better tree out of this, but whatever
Etho: I wish we could see
Etho: *laughs loudly* Aww special ruined. I- I was so, so sad. I didn't know what to do. What do I do now?
I- I'm not talking at all. It's just like... I failed. I failed. *laughs*
Etho: *laughs* Having the time of my life here. And a piece of TNT goes off. *laughs* And that was my special
Young Etho: Party's over, time to clean up
Etho: Aww, so good. *laughs* So good. How things have changed!
