219 – YouTube-sday (with Ben Kirk)

We’ve all been there– one minute, you’re searching for a video on how to change a light fixture, and the next thing you know, you’ve been watching makeup tutorials and music videos for five hours straight. Though YouTube may have started with a mere trip to the zoo, it has been entertaining people (and launching talent) since 2005. Let Ben Kirk take you on a journey through the most popular YouTube videos of all time– and take a trip down memory lane! Later on, take a delightful quiz called “YouTubers That You Goobers Should Know.”
