So what happened was when I started up LoL and then hit the "Launch" button it launches it normally until it hits the LoL home page and that is where it shows the videos and podcasts but at this point I am incapable of clicking absolutely anything such as the video or play or friends or even viewing the store. Am I the only one with this bug? riotplsfix
Is this the screen you hit immediately after logging in? If it's your first login since they enabled Hextech Crafting then it's a popup related to that failing to load. Give it another try and if it still doesn't work submit a support ticket. As is usually the case with new content, Riot is probably getting a lot of tickets right now so you'll have to be patient, but I've never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a response.
Hope this helps!
