JACOB SOBOROFF: Hey, it's Jacob.
Today we have style guru Amy Pham right here in the house.
But first, I gotta tell you about this band.
They have 600 million views and one
of the biggest videos of the day.
But they're not even a household name in the United States--
yet.
K-pop sensation 2NE1 just dropped two videos
and practically broke the internet.
[MUSIC - 2NE1]
Last week, they released their first album in four years,
and it's about the crack the top 10 in the iTunes charts.
2NE1 kicked off a huge tour last weekend,
but if you're not going to have the chance to see them live,
head over to their channel for almost 300
more servings of K-pop awesomessness.
Hey, it's Amy Pham.
Amy, episode two of "Ask Amy!" is online right now.
AMY PHAM: Indeed it is!
JACOB SOBOROFF: What is going on with that?
AMY PHAM: People can ask questions,
whether it's a style dilemma, fashion problem,
or any other question they want to ask me.
And we feature their questions on the show.
AUDIENCE: How can I wear a full leather jumpsuit
without looking like a dominatrix?
AMY PHAM: You are ballsy, and I love it.
The key to this outfit is to pair
the super tough, badass leather fabric
with softer, casual details to keep
it less superhero and more street wear.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Do people ask about, like, underpants?
AMY PHAM: No, actually.
I haven't gotten one yet.
I want them to.
I would love to address underpants situations.
JACOB SOBOROFF: If you have a fashion dilemma,
or if you think I have a fashion dilemma that Amy
could help me deal with--
AMY PHAM: You send them to the platform
using the hashtag #AskAmy.
JACOB SOBOROFF: When you dial 9-11 in this neighborhood,
the fire department may not be the first to arrive.
Rocky Robinson co-founded the Bed-Stuy Ambulance Core
when his niece died due to lack immediate medical attention.
And he realized he needed do something about it.
ROCKY ROBINSON: I saw this group called
Hatzola, a Jewish Ambulance Core.
When I was working with EMS, and what we got on the scene,
Hatzola already had their people to the hospital.
But then when we'd respond to the ghetto,
the person was dead most of the time
because the ambulance took too long to come.
JACOB SOBOROFF: The People's EMS is entirely funded
by donations, and even the commander's own pension
when the money gets tight.
To learn more about what is really
just an incredible organization, head over to their website
and you can get involved.
CARLY: I love books, like, love, love books.
Like, the-floor-of-my-apartment-is-probably-going-to-collapse-due-to-the-weight-of-all-of-my-bookcases
love books.
Which is why this gorgeous stop-m motion animation
tugs at every single one of my bookworm heart strings.
I can't believe this is made by an animation student.
And it only has a few hundred views, so let's fix that.
If you know a book lover or two, send this their way
and brighten their day.
Hey, that rhymes!
JACOB SOBOROFF: CT Fletcher has three drug-free world
titles in bench press, three curling titles,
and less than a decade ago, he flat-lined three times
during open heart surgery.
But that didn't stop the 54-year-old
from coming back and winning the drug-free world bodybuilding
title.
In this video, with almost 2 million views,
he introduces us to his friend, appropriately called Da Hulk.
CT FLETCHER: We about to break bread
and eat up in this [BLEEP].
Hulk crash!
Hulk crash!
And there's a whole bunch of [BLEEP] on YouTube going, What?
JACOB SOBOROFF: Fair warning-- his videos
have no shortage of f-bombs.
But if you're down with that, they
will get you pumped up for anything-- Job interviews,
tennis matches, calling your bank-- whatever your thing is.
Sometimes people here are so passionate about getting
a video on this show, they'll submit it
outside of working hours.
You know who you are.
EARNEST: Hey, Jacob.
It's Earnest, of course.
And I want to share with you this thing called "Big Head,"
and it's the funniest thing that you will see today.
BIG HEAD: Has anyone seem my gloves?
Really need to know where my gloves are.
Of course I looked in my coat pocket!
That's the first place I looked!
Now I can't go into work early, use the bathroom
like I normally do.
I know they're not in my car so I'm not even going to go check.
Yeah, they weren't in my car.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Thanks, Earnest.
We want to know what you guys are watching.
Film yourself talking about a video that you love,
and then post it with the hashtag #youtubenation.
Now play us out, Liam Lynch.
