Macklemore Hijacks a Nyc Bus - Youtube nation - Friday

JACOB SOBOROFF: Hey, Jacob here. Today we've got Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hijacking a bus in the Bronx. [MUSIC - MACKLEMORE AND RYAN LEWIS] JACOB: The catpocalypse is upon us. [MUSIC PLAYING] JACOB SOBOROFF: And a world champion stares down death without blinking an eye. [MUSIC PLAYING] JACOB SOBOROFF: This is YouTube Nation. [THEME SONG PLAYING] JACOB SOBOROFF: You're heading to work on the bus, minding your own business, when two dudes get on, and they break out a boombox. [MUSIC PLAYING] MACKLEMORE: All right. How you guys doing today? JACOB SOBOROFF: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis threw this impromptu concert for passengers in the Bronx, and the video is getting shared like crazy. There is a ton to say about Macklemore, but nothing will say it better than just getting back on the bus. [MUSIC - MACKLEMORE AND RYAN LEWIS] JACOB SOBOROFF: The video's a promo for the Grammys, which are next weekend, and these two guys are going to be performing. They're nominated for seven awards. CARLY: I haven't played a video game since "Luigi's Mansion." One, I had a traumatic experience with Bowser. But this new trailer for "Broken Age" might just bring me back. VELLA: I know that if I act on my instinct to fight, I would be putting my whole village in danger. So I'll ask a new question. Instead of, what if we fought the monster, what I want to know is, how do I kill it? CARLY: It comes out at the end of the month and was entirely funded through Kickstarter. I love how beautiful the animation is. It really feels like you're embarking on a journey. Plus there's no Bowser in this one. JACOB SOBOROFF: Your entire world can change in the blink of an eye. This was especially true for world champion downhill skier, Aksul Lund Svindal, when he took a spill at Beaver Creek in 2007 and was hospitalized for the rest of the season. But that didn't stop him. He came back the next season, and he conquered the exact same slope. [MUSIC PLAYING] JACOB SOBOROFF: He's won seven major titles since this accident, and he's competing in four events next month at the Olympics. Watching this makes me feel like I'm bombing down the mountain at 80 miles an hour. ALEX: I'm not the biggest fan of proposal videos, but I think I'm going to make an exception for this one. This video is a stage production of "Peter Pan" in Glasgow, where Peter Pan proposes to Wendy. MALE SPEAKER: You are the person that I want to spend my life with, and therefore, I want to ask you, Jane Mary Sullivan, will you marry me? ALEX: It came out on Tuesday, and it's already had over a million views. Everyone just seemed to really love this proposal. But I agree with commenter, kiyosk, when he said, I thing the dog is the most excited one here. JACOB SOBOROFF: The newest video from sex ed guru, lacigreen, is starting a pretty massive conversation, almost 5,000 comments in one day. LACIGREEN: Often objectification is confused with thinking that a woman's hot. But objectification is not the same as being *** or being sexually attracted to the someone. That's a natural part of life, right? But what's not natural is constantly portraying women as sex objects for male pleasure. JACOB SOBOROFF: She's got the top sex ed channel, and over the last five years, she's gained a following of almost 700,000 subs. Laci's no stranger to controversy. She had to take a hiatus back in 2012, after receiving death threats. But she's got a pretty thick skin. She's not afraid to get into the nitty-gritty, and she is great at exploring the emotional side of sex. LACIGREEN: But I think it's high time that people start to acknowledge that *** attraction doesn't have to destroy or negate a friendship. We're able to sort of cope with and interact with our own *** desires in more dynamic ways than people like to think we do. JACOB SOBOROFF: To learn more about Laci, or really any sex question that you've ever had in your entire life, we got a playlist waiting for you at the end of the show. Be warned. It is not exactly safe for work or school. MALE SPEAKER: Stumpearnest. JACOB SOBOROFF: OK, Earnest, today's challenger is Lindsay C. Earnest, my cat just had nine babies. Find me a video as horrifying as the inside of my apartment. EARNEST: Lindsay, I have found you the mother of all cat videos, the cat's cradle of life, if you will. Welcome to Kitty City. [MUSIC PLAYING] EARNEST: Cyriak is a UK animator who's had his fair share of trippy, viral hits. This piece of modern art has over 5 million views. Boom. JACOB SOBOROFF: Earnest is the head curator here, and he thinks he can find a video for any situation that you dream up. But if you think that you can stump him, drop your challenge with the hashtag #STUMPEARNEST. It is officially the weekend.
