Births, deaths, marriages, break-ups and family life.

We love watching people share their personal moments on social media, with such posts often attracting hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views.

On this week's show, we look at some of these viral videos from the past couple of weeks - and sometimes the unexpected backlash to them.

We also enjoy a couple of musical performances that have attracted millions of views, from the busker to the curry house owner!
