Friends Fight Fear Sleeping In Most Dangerous Bed In The World

by

When trying to attain those coveted 8 hours of sleep, most people’s ideal sleeping conditions are in a bed, maybe with some comforters and extra pillows thrown into the mix. But for Thomas Brag and Ammar Kandil, sleeping in a bed is boring. That’s why the creators of “Yes Theory” decided to fight their fear and do what most would consider a nightmare. They slept overnight in a hammock suspended between two cliffs, in what can only be considered “the most dangerous bed in the world.”

Highine bed, one to really fight your fear.

“Fear is a Mental Muscle”

The duo decided to create a video that followed their thrilling, borderline crazy decision to sleep in a hammock over a plunging valley below. “Overnight on the most dangerous bed in the world!!” was uploaded to their YouTube Channel Yes Theory this past week. Their channel focuses on taking different adventures that push them out of their comfort zone. In this video in particular, they began by speaking about fear and its power over us.

“Fear is a mental muscle that needs regular attention. If you don’t actively seek to safely challenge it, it will eventually take control of your life. So today we’re going to the mental gym.”

Company Joins In The Dangerous Adventure

To complete this adventure, Thomas and Ammar decided to invite their friend Max Rantz-McDonald as well as a highlining expert, Ryan Robinson. Highlining involves walking on a “1 inch thick rope between two mountains” with absolutely zero net to catch you underneath. Truly insane in our opinion!

Robinson joined them to help the three men properly hang the hammocks to best avoid injury. After this fine material was hung, the three friends settled in for the night. They were about as comfortable as one can expect to be while hanging at a height that some would consider a death wish. Not only did vertigo fears arise, but soon the three had to brace the natural elements of wind, thunder and rain.

Caving In To The Fear

Despite all intents, Thomas was unable to make it through the night, with his vertigo fears forcing him to return to ground after only a few hours. The other two however toughed it out all the way to morning. Their smiles and pride were undeniable as they carefully pulled their way back to land to reunite in a hug with their pal.

It was a true testament to pushing through the mental block. The video itself has been watched almost 1.5 million times since its upload, serving as an inspiration for all to fight their own fears.

No Aliens, But One Special Visitor At Area 51

by

One of the most anticipated Facebook Events of the year finally came this past weekend. “Storm Area 51” began as a joke online (“they can’t stop us all”), yet quickly became a global sensation. The event for September 20-22 had over 2 million people “attending” on the Facebook event online. In reality only a few thousand people attended “Alienstock” to get their chance at an alien sighting this past weekend, which sadly never occurred. Nevertheless, one attendee did make the weekend a memorable one by interrupting a news report with his Naruto run.

What is “Storm Area 51”?

“Storm Area 51” was created on Facebook back in June by Matty Roberts. The comedic concept was to have as many people “storm” the United States Air Force Training Facility, famous for alien sightings. This event got so much publicity, that they decided to create a music festival called “Alienstock“ in the small town of Rachel, Nevada. The logistics were not well planned however, and no one truly broke into the facility. People who did come for the event however enjoyed an out-of-this-world time! Some attendees even brought fake protest signs, dressed up in shiny and green gear, and bonded over their communal love for aliens.

How Do They Storm Area 51?

As stated previously, the event was both poorly planned and, when it comes down to it, one big fat joke. Roberts suggested that everyone enter the facility by running like “Naruto,” a famous Japanese anime character who runs with his head down and arms behind him.

While no one successfully entered, one guy dubbed “the plunger man” (whose real name is Gary Winthorpe), did manage to get the closest with some fellow attendees. They all charged toward the barricade in Naruto style, only to quickly get stopped by military.

Winthorpe told the local Fox5, “We came out here to raid Area 51 and find the truth about what they’re hiding. We don’t know if it’s aliens, we don’t know if it’s time travel, we don’t know if there’s minions in there.”

News Reporters Get’s A Naruto Backdrop

That wasn’t the last of the Naruto runs of the weekend. The most famous-and now viral- example came during a news report. During the middle of KTNV Channel 13 Las Vegas‘ coverage of the event, one attendee slyly swooped behind reporter Joe Bartel in Naruto-like fashion.

The image soon became a viral video on Twitter, with people claiming this lone runner to be the true hero of this extraterrestrial-less weekend.

Two High-Schoolers Go Viral For Helping Their Bullied Classmate

by

When Antwann Garrett and Kristopher Graham of Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis decided to help out their classmate, Micheal Todd, who was constantly bullied for his clothes, they had no idea how much their contribution would make an impact. The video of the football players donating clothes to Todd has since gone viral and caught the attention of people globally.

Just Another Bullied Teen

14 year old freshman Micheal Todd had only been attending his new high school for three weeks, and already was being made fun of. The teen said his mom could not afford to buy him clothes because he was “growing too fast” and that he had been “bullied all [his] life.” He is one of the more than 25% of kids bullied each year in the US.

Classmates Decide To Donate Clothes

Fellow freshman classmate Kristopher Graham, was one of the students who had originally laughed at Todd in their mutual third period class. However, Graham felt it weighing on his conscious and decided he wanted to make a difference for Todd.

He called up his friend Antwann Garrett, and the two decided to collect a bag of their clothes and shoes to give to Todd. When they apologized and gifted the items to Todd, he was in pure shock.

“I was very happy, I was shocked completely... it was the best day of my entire life.”

Kind Deed Inspires Many

The interaction was all recorded by another friend, not because the footballers wanted to show off their good deed, but in order to inspire others to help combat bullying. Inspire they did, as people around the world shared the video and sent their own clothing to donate to Todd. The video even caught the attention of celebrities such as Ellen Degeneres, who invited the three boys to her show for a special surprise from Will Smith.

Will Smith told the boys how impressed he was by their kind deed, that he surprised all three with clothing from his new line and sneakers from New Balance. Shutterfly also donated a $10,000 check to each of the boys. Smith additionally donated clothes to their high school, which has many families that live below the poverty line.

The Most Wholesome Hug On The Internet

by

Amidst all the terrible news we see on a weekly basis, this video of two toddlers in New York running to embrace each other is here to brighten your day. Last week, the best friends Maxwell and Finnegan were recorded as they ran to greet each other in what can only be described as the most wholesome hug on the internet.

A Dynamic Duo

According to Maxwell’s father, Michael Cisneros, the two 2 year olds have only been friends for about a year, but their bond is undeniable. The boys are practically inseparable! “When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another.”

When they are together, the boys often go to music classes and play tennis with Finnegan’s parents. Seeing the pair play doubles on the court must be quite a show!

A Hug That Spreads The Love

After one of the dads posted the heartwarming hug on Facebook, local news picked up on the story and shared the video, as did many celebrities and influencers. The result was an embrace of pure happiness that quickly turned viral. With so many sources reposting the video it’s hard to keep a true tally. However, the hug has been liked and shared by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

A Vision Of Hope For Race Relations

The outpouring of positive reactions towards the hug also is reflective of the current state of politics and racial tensions in the United States (and around the world). Seeing Maxwell, who is white and Finnegan, who is black, running to show their love makes a statement about racism. The video gives a sense of hope for a future filled with love and understanding.

Cisneros doesn’t normally like to share information or videos of his private life. Nevertheless, after capturing this moment on camera, he believed it was a must-share.

“With all the racism and hate going on I just think it’s a really beautiful video.”

Man Catches A Falling Phone While On A Roller Coaster

by

With the exorbitant price of cellphones today, it’s always a painful moment to know you have lost or destructively dropped it. Both are typically the case if your cell phone falls out while riding a roller coaster. However, one individual’s potential bad luck on the Shambhala Roller Coaster in Spain turned into a viral video, as another passenger was able to grab the falling phone while on the ride!

A Speedy Recovery

Samuel Kempf was the coordinated passenger who mid flip in the ride was able to reach for the flying phone. He had heard that another passenger’s phone went missing on the ride, and joked that he would be able to go for it. However, this joke turned into a reality when Kempf went from screaming fun to quick rescue. The best part? The entire moment was caught on video!

Roller Coaster Video Goes Viral

Kempf went to the Port Aventura theme park with his family as a side trip for his Fistballing World Championships. While there, they decided to ride on one of Spain’s fastest roller coasters, the Shambhala, which tops at 83mph.

During the video, you can see Kempf’s excited face instantaneously turn to a look of concern, before he reaches up for a flying object. He then proceeds to celebrate the amazing catch, and also manages to hold on to the mobile for the entire duration of the ride.

Kempf decided to share the miraculous footage to YouTube, where in 2 days time it has already reached over 1.7 million views! The New Zealander has also received many accolades on Twitter for his impressive feat. One of the most humorous was his selection for “sports highlight of the day” by Deadspin.

While Kempf is probably having fun on this mini “glory ride,” we can only imagine how thrilled the phone owner was to not have to purchase a new Iphone X!
