About this listen
Mark Rober, the former NASA engineer turned YouTube sensation with 73 million subscribers, made waves this past week as a host on Netflixs electrifying Skyscraper Live special, aired live on January 25. According to Wikipedia, he joined Elle Duncan, Seth Rollins, Emily Harrington, and Pete Woods to commentate as Alex Honnold free-soloed Taipeis towering 101 skyscraper in one hour and 31 minutes, a feat Outside magazine hailed as the highest urban free solo climb ever, though disputed. Robers panel drew mixed reviews, with The Telegraph calling the broadcast thrilling yet monotonous, and The Independent noting viewer gripes over the distracting chatter.
Hot on that high, Laughing Place reports the January 26 drop of Disneys Cartoonified short, where Phineas and Ferb shrink Rober into an animated daredevil racing shredded squirrel Fit Gus through obstacle-filled tubes. The pint-sized engineer plummets but gets a heroic save, crossing the finish line togethera playful nod to his inventive persona that has fans buzzing online.
Puck News spotlighted Rober as Netflixs most crucial creator import yet, signaling his growing pull in streaming giants battles for eyeballs. Meanwhile, TBS News covered his latest viral experiment, where fogged-up Tesla Autopilot on a test track plowed straight into a wall painted like a road and failed to brake for a child mannequin, spotlighting LIDARs edge over Teslas camera-only system in a scathing safety takedown.
Social media lit up too, with YouTube clips from January 24, 26, and 28 referencing Robers mega-hit The Truth About my Son at 56 million views, fueling meme frenzy. No fresh business deals surfaced, but his Disney ties and Netflix glow-up hint at blockbuster collabs ahead, cementing Rober as the creators creator to watch.
