-If you believe in yourself, you will know how to ride a bike.
If you don't, you just keep practicing.
You will get the hang of it, I know it.
Thumbs up, everybody!
EARNEST, SR.: All right.
-For rock and roll!
JACOB SOBOROFF: For rock and roll!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What's up, guys?
It's Jacob and Earnest.
Today, we're trying something a little bit different.
We're going to talk about incredible firsts
and incredible first moments.
This is Owen.
He is six years old.
He just rode his bike for the first time,
and he is so stoked.
-If you keep practicing, you will get the hang of it.
And then you can get better and better at it.
EARNEST, SR.: 7 million views, uploaded in 2011.
This kid Owen is just the greatest.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Owen, you're a rock start, dude.
I hope that you have a sick bike, bro.
To me, this is one of the most moving videos
that I've ever seen online.
This is a 29-year-old woman who hears herself
for the first time ever.
-There you go.
-It's beeping
-So now, technically, your device is on.
-[LAUGHS]
-Can you tell?
Oh, no, it's exciting.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Sarah Churman was born deaf.
She got this hearing implant.
The hearing implant's called Esteem.
She had a rare genetic deformity.
She's missing the hair in her inner ear
that transmits sound to the brain.
EARNEST, SR.: There are not that many sort
of monumental first experiences that you
get to have that late in life.
So that's awesome.
MILES: There's nothing like seeing an animal get off
their wobbly legs and start walking.
ALI: Stumble around.
MILES: Which is why I give you animals standing up
for the first time.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MILES: Eeee.
ALI: Look at the little, tiny bear.
MILES: Animals are making us look bad because like they're
standing up within like an hour of literally being born.
ALI: You can't leave this video without a smile,
without just feeling a little warm.
MILES: Especially the little polar bear.
ALI: [CRY].
MILES: He was my favorite.
ALI: Little polar bear.
All right, Miles, are you ready for just a minute
of pure delight and joy?
This is Madeline.
She was really obsessed with trains.
So for her birthday, she got to ride
a train for the first time.
-Look at how it goes to it.
Oh my goodness.
-Here it comes.
-Here it comes.
-Hey, we got to be safe.
Stand back.
ALI: I want to be that excited about anything.
This was uploaded by her dad Daniel Dubois.
This was 2011.
She was three years old at the time.
This has almost 4 and 1/2 million views.
MILES: And little babies standing up for the first time
only has a half a million.
Come on, people.
ALI: I grew up in Miami.
I grew up in a beach city, and I live
in LA now, another beach city.
The ocean is something that I've always taken for granted.
But this video really moved me because this
is a woman seeing the ocean for the first time
thanks to the Blessing Basket, an organization that
helps fight against poverty in developing countries.
-Three.
Take it off.
-[LAUGHS]
ALI: There are so many great technological advances
in the world that sometimes just like nature--
like the first time you see what this planet can do.
MILES: You know, guys, like nature is truly our first TV.
ALEX: It's from the Beagle Freedom Project,
and these beagles were in a laboratory.
But nine of them were rescued and allowed
to do this for the first time.
Oh, man.
LIZZIE: Oh, god, look at it.
ALEX: They're in Nevada, and they had never been outside.
This is his first time feeling grass on the paws.
Look at this.
LIZZIE: This is horrible.
I'm going to cry.
ALEX: The Beagle Freedom Project works directly with the labs
so that they can place these dogs in loving homes.
This is good.
They're all going to go somewhere nice and get loved.
Oh, look how happy they are.
LIZZIE: An and Ria are two super adorable Dutch ladies--
ALEX: OK.
LIZZIE: --who had never flown ever in their lives before.
And they decided that, at the ages of 71 and 78,
that was the time to do it.
But first, Ria decided the way to test it out and make
sure she was ready was to ride a roller
coaster for the first time as well.
-[YELLS]
-[LAUGHS]
ALEX: Aahh.
LIZZIE: Oh, man, they put her on a doozie of a roller coaster.
ALEX: Oohh.
LIZZIE: This is actually from Vodafone Firsts.
These ladies did not know each other before this.
Not only do you fly for the first time,
you make a new friend.
Look at this.
No, they got Champagne!
ALEX: That's nice.
They're going to ply them with alcohol.
-[SPEAKING DUTCH] [LAUGHS]
-Yeah!
-[SPEAKING DUTCH]
-[LAUGHS]
LIZZIE: But here's the thing.
I feel like if they go flying again,
because they're like, oh, my god, I love flying,
this is great, it's going to be really different,
guys, when you're shoved in the back of Ryanair on a plane.
ALEX: This isn't what I remember.
[LAUGHS]
EARNEST, SR.: This next video comes to us
from our friends at JukinVideo.
This first is a first for which you don't need words.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Ooh.
EARNEST, SR.: Sweet baby experiences rain
for the very first time.
-[MUSIC PLAYING]
-[INAUDIBLE].
JACOB SOBOROFF: Did you see that?
She's like trying to comprehend it with her arms.
EARNEST, SR.: It's little Kayden [? Bayen, ?] 15 months old,
going out in the rain.
And it's just one of those wonderful things.
You get to experience it with her.
JACOB SOBOROFF: That's the thing about first videos
is that you feel like you're experiencing it
with the person who's experiencing it in the video.
And in this case, the joy of that kid's face,
it's like we all wish we could have
something that made us that joyful.
Guys, those were some of the most incredible firsts around.
Let us know your favorite in the comments.
EARNEST, SR.: You can watch all these videos in their entirety
in a playlist that's going to pop up at the end of show.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Now, play us out.
Blink-182.
