JACOB SOBOROFF: Hey, it's Jacob.
Every day we bring you guys the best videos around.
And today we've got a real-life hoverboard, First Moon Party--
-Surprise!
[GIRL SCREAMS]
JACOB SOBOROFF: --and how to cut a cake right-- finally.
-It's breaking all the rules.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-What on Earth have you done to my house?
-There's a mobile factory on the South Lawn.
There's a robotic giraffe.
There's a giant red weather balloon in the Rose Garden.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Either the Obamas just
hosted their own personal Burning Man
or the President is talking about the First Annual White
House Maker Faire, bringing together
people of all ages and backgrounds who
bring a DIY mentality to technology.
Obama brought 100 different innovators to his house
to display their inventions-- everything from this team
at MIT--
-This is a folding 3D printer/milling
machine/vinyl cutter/liquid handler I made with [INAUDIBLE]
JACOB SOBOROFF: --to these guys.
-What we're doing is we're taking a ton of iron,
and we're turning it into a living creature.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Maker Media, the company behind the faire,
started hosting these events back in 2006.
Now there are around 100 a year all over the world.
If you want to get involved in the community,
we got a link to the description.
ALI: One of the biggest videos today proves once and for all
that you should never lie to your mother.
Don't.
She'll buy you a uterus pinata.
-I tried everything to get my period.
Nothing.
So I faked it.
-What's this?
-What do you think it is?
-Rubylicious Nail Polish.
-We have to celebrate.
-No, we don't.
-Oh, it's family tradition.
-Grandparents?
My friends?
My mom's fricking co-workers.
-There she is.
ALI: This ad for a monthly kit called
Hello Flo is turning periods into something we can all
laugh at instead of being embarrassed about.
And lest you think Hello Flo kits are all
about tampons and pantyliners, they also
supply the important stuff-- chocolate.
JACOB SOBOROFF: The first real hoverboard is here.
And while it doesn't use magnets,
you guys are going to be stoked about the alternative.
This magnificent toy was invented
by Franky Zapata, who also brought us the Flyboard.
And this video was just released by our friend Devinsupertramp.
[MUSIC - SCOTT & BRENDO - "SKYWARD"]
JACOB SOBOROFF: These things go up to 23 miles an hour.
I feel like so much water would go up my nose if I did this.
Would you guys try this?
Let us know in the comments.
MILES: I don't know about you, but I have full-blown World Cup
fever.
And by the looks of this video, so does Guillaume Blanchet.
He took a GoPro and his ball with him
all over the world for the last two years
to create this juggling and editing masterpiece.
[MUSIC - Bu - "Let's Bounce"]
MILES: We actually featured his stop motion animation video,
"A Girl Named Elastika," a few weeks ago.
He's a talented footballer and an incredible animator?
He gets a Miles Award for diverse skillset.
Beep.
JACOB SOBOROFF: We need to take a moment
to talk about a serious issue that's been swept under the rug
for far too long.
We're cutting our cakes all wrong.
In 1906, Sir Francis Galton developed
his own cake-cutting method in response
to the traditional wedge cut, which he felt was faulty.
-The first slice, will be like this.
Here what we need to do, close the cake together.
The following day, all the sponge
is going to be nice and soft.
JACOB SOBOROFF: -This video from Numberphile
was posted a few days ago.
It's already got over three million views.
Now that we've solved the cake problem,
let's move on to the ***-fruit menace
known as the mango.
Alton Brown just released this tutorial
on his hazard-free method of cutting the slippery fruit.
-Mark about a 1 inch circle right
in the center of each of the cheeks.
Then take your peeler and remove all the peel from
said mango, except for the peel inside those circles.
The point is to make nice, safe grips.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Thank you so much, Alton and Sir Francis.
Because of you, our mangos will be blood free
and our cakes will never dry out.
ANNOUNCER: Stump Earnest.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Ok, Earnest.
Today's challenger is Iron Paladin.
"Earnest, find me a video with mecha Abraham Lincoln."
EARNEST: Four score and seven years ago, Abe Lincoln 1000
was a robot set on revenge.
This is the very first episode of "Ask Zombie George
Washington" from back in 2011, a series
created by bobjenz who also does many
of the voices for Annoying Orange.
-The rest of the zombie brains were
used to create robot Abraham Lincoln, who
doesn't like Zombie George Washington very much.
-I swear I will get my revenge on you, Zombie George
Washington-- whether it's today or four score
and seven years from now.
-Man!
Whatever!
EARNEST: Here's a history lesson for you, Iron Paladin.
You lost the Battle of Stump Earnest.
Boom.
JACOB SOBOROFF: If you think you got
what it takes to dethrone the king,
drop your challenge in the comments with the hashtag
#stumpearnest.
Lastly, Electric Daisy Carnival starts today.
And if you did not snag a ticket to the Vegas festival,
don't worry.
We got you covered.
Paul Dante put together a playlist of the 10 EDC artists
that you absolutely have to see.
And check this out-- Insomniac Events
is broadcasting eight different live streams starting tonight.

Now play us out, Shannon and the Clams.
