I think the thing I love the most about the works of Jon Bois is that he has the most wonderful ability to imbue his works with a grand sense of scale that makes it seem like it matters to the whole universe. 17776, the Tebow Chronicles, the episode of Breaking Madden where Tom Brady was trapped at his own one yard line. None of them matter in the grand scheme of things, but they all had a certain universe mattering profundity to them.
I think the bizarre music Jon uses in these things is a huge part of that. A lot of his work has this weird, experimental instrumentation going on that can make even a slowly scrolling chart of football statistics seem like some form of surrealism.
I love how like 3 minutes in both of them are already so focused on such dumb minutiae that you forget which one of them actually knew how many days there are in a week in the first place.
Coming back to this years later. Just had a sudden realization.... Bois was browsing some random forums because he was bored, then his boss asked him "wtf are you doing", and he nervously said "uhm working on the next pretty good". Thats how this video was created. Incredible. Magnificent. What a genius.
"Justin, the undisputed winner of the days in a week debate" I actually laughed out loud. Honestly this whole thing makes Justin look worse than Josh. He looks dumber than the guy who doesn't know how many days are in a week. I think it's because of how proud he is of this knowledge. He feels accomplished.
@@Superabound2you forgot to say "rent free". Or do you only say that in every other comment so youtube doesn't think you're a bot without a single original thought in your cavernous skull?

I didn't think the internet would ever birth anything more great and terrible than this thread, but this masterpiece surely bests it. Thank you, and I wish your brain a speedy recovery. PS: What's the status of the Stanislov Petrov reupload?
I would say you are right but have you read the great burgers are Sandwiches debate , or nearly anything else That had been made into an objection.lol video
It occurs to me that back in the day these would just be pub arguments, half-forgotten the next day and of no real consequence to anyone. But online forum threads are archived for all eternity..! 😬
Well, Fasolati "Henry" Whitamen, hear me out. A workout day actually has three parts to it: When the workout starts, when the workout is in progress, and when the workout is finished, and together this completes one full workout day. Now usually, it's the starting that's useful, because that's the only part that makes Josh enter the gym. However, sometimes it's sufficient to just use the in progress part, which allows Josh to do little lifts, to run on treadmills, to lose bodyfat slowly while stretching, and to lose bodyfat slowly with the weight machines. And as for the finish... well, there's currently no cases where that's useful or important, so don't worry about that part.
my favorite thing about this video is that it shows that Jon has/had the coveted corner office at sb nation and uses the extra space to ramble about people who don't know how a week works
To continue on the argument, one week you would work out Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (4 days) and the next week you would work out Monday, Wednesday, Friday (3 days) for an average of 3.5 days while still working out every other day
Yeah.. That's the whole point. This incredibly undeniable fact was disputed by multiple people in a thread that would probably still be going today if it weren't locked.
i think i know what that guy meant. working out every other day means that for week 1, you're working 4 days a week. week 2, you work 3 days a week. week 3, 4 days a week. and it sorta alternates like that for each week
The bodybuilding forums have been online since at least 2001, and were just shut down TODAY. All threads redirect to a photo of the new company owners. So much digital history gone.
So I got Ring Fit Adventure recently. I thought about working out every other day. Unfortunately the game only lets you set alarms based on what day of the week it is. I couldn't help but think back to this.
This is like the beginning of a whole new field of psychology, or maybe anthropology. I love the deep dive into how people behave online, it really brings out the worst.
In a single video, Jon Bois shows why he's one of the best youtubers, creating a master piece of the site on one of the most pointless internet arguments.
I know this video was uploaded 8 years ago, and is about a thread from 8 years before that, but 10:20 was the biggest plot twist I've experienced this entire year.
Jon I hope you see this because this is genuinely some of the most perfect music I've ever heard picked for literally anything visual. Also you amaze me with your story weaving skills, yo.
I love all of Jon’s videos, but this one is speaking to me on a spiritual level with everything going on right now. Jon’s despair is so palpable. I just want to tell him everything is alright. That in the future we’ve all gotten on the same page and can agree on a basic set of facts like how many days are in a week... But we can’t...
I remember a couple years ago this story hit my little chat group at the time. im pretty mad at math, but even I was able to deduce that the only way to work out every other day with no back to back workouts was a two-week calendar or to at some point in time skip two days instead of one. it would be interesting to dissect why each of these roided out toxic meat heads individually couldn't accept that we live in a world where the laws you've been given to live by may at times contradict (1: there are 7 days in a week. 2: never work out the same body part two days in a row)
Right? I don't understand how he didn't include that even numbers don't divide well into an odd numbered week... so therefore you'd need to do a fortnightly schedule or similar. I'm honestly so upset that there was clearly someone in particular who was absolutely wrong, and that didn't come up in this video. Terrible.
Reminds me of trying to explain to people how I calculate when it’s time to refill their controlled substance as a pharmacist. And great, it’s a leap year so next month will be a disaster.
156k subs is a travesty. Jon Bois deserves many, many million of subs. There has never and will never be another Jon. The man is a treasure.I hope someday he gets that’s BAG HE DESERVES. I wouldn’t mind if he took net work money… does t matter. He deserves everything that’s hopefully comin his way.

Josh is the only time i will let someone on the internet get away with basically "lol i was just being a troll" because i really think he was. He just disappeared from the thread for *so long* and let it all spin up.

I've seen this video a dozen times, but I've just now noticed that Justin-27 joined the forum ONE MONTH (or 21 workouts) before this thread. Dude was an elitist from day one.
Rewatching some of Jon Bois' content as I do at least once a year.
It is only getting better every time.
I don't understand how I got here but I'm subscribing
My explanation of the video:
It's about what happens when you focus more on strengthening your glamour muscles instead of your brain.
focusing more on building muscle is fine. This looks like overdose of steroids.
I didn't think the internet would ever birth anything more great and terrible than this thread, but this masterpiece surely bests it. Thank you, and I wish your brain a speedy recovery.
PS: What's the status of the Stanislov Petrov reupload?
I would say you are right but have you read the great burgers are Sandwiches debate , or nearly anything else
That had been made into an objection.lol video
@@brandonporter8509 Yeah, stuff like that goes popular 4-5 times a week on Tumblr, so basically new stupid debate every other day.
@@goopi_eh That makes no sense. There are only 7 days in a week. If there is a new stupid debate every other day that is 3.5 times a week.
It occurs to me that back in the day these would just be pub arguments, half-forgotten the next day and of no real consequence to anyone. But online forum threads are archived for all eternity..! 😬
While the bob emergency may be jons magnum opus, this stands as the pilot for his madness, the moment we knew he was destined for greatness
I'd argue Mariners doc was the magnum opus, but Bob emergency is amazing, too.
3.5 button presses
YOU CANT HAVE A PRESS AND SAY ITS ONLY HALF
Well, Fasolati "Henry" Whitamen, hear me out.
A workout day actually has three parts to it: When the workout starts, when the workout is in progress, and when the workout is finished, and together this completes one full workout day. Now usually, it's the starting that's useful, because that's the only part that makes Josh enter the gym. However, sometimes it's sufficient to just use the in progress part, which allows Josh to do little lifts, to run on treadmills, to lose bodyfat slowly while stretching, and to lose bodyfat slowly with the weight machines. And as for the finish... well, there's currently no cases where that's useful or important, so don't worry about that part.
Canuckdude22 'dere he is!
*Should be a Netflix Documentary*
"The Real Week"
They should just call it "The 3.5 Workout"
Lol
I love this so much.
Shut the fuck up
Stop eating Twinkies
my favorite thing about this video is that it shows that Jon has/had the coveted corner office at sb nation and uses the extra space to ramble about people who don't know how a week works
This is like an introduction to the internet.
To continue on the argument, one week you would work out Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (4 days) and the next week you would work out Monday, Wednesday, Friday (3 days) for an average of 3.5 days while still working out every other day
Chargers Hackenberg There 10 days in a week you idiot 😤
Brian Jamison you need to lose body fat
Chargers Hackenberg lol
yeah your right
Yeah.. That's the whole point. This incredibly undeniable fact was disputed by multiple people in a thread that would probably still be going today if it weren't locked.
LOL I lost it at Schrodinger's workout. Hilarious!!
is it bad that I agree with him? xD
i think i know what that guy meant. working out every other day means that for week 1, you're working 4 days a week. week 2, you work 3 days a week. week 3, 4 days a week. and it sorta alternates like that for each week
The bodybuilding forums have been online since at least 2001, and were just shut down TODAY. All threads redirect to a photo of the new company owners. So much digital history gone.
So I got Ring Fit Adventure recently. I thought about working out every other day.
Unfortunately the game only lets you set alarms based on what day of the week it is.
I couldn't help but think back to this.
7 years later and it's stiller a banger.
Disliking this video is a crime against humanity
I'm going to do it just because of this comment. And before some galaxy-brain tells me that's a petty thing to do, that was the point of the joke.
I love the end of this where it really spirals out of control and someone posts "I have a 6 pack" I died right there 😂😂😂
Jon Bois is the most left-handed person ever.
12:37 that legitimately got me rolling on the ground laughing
This is like the beginning of a whole new field of psychology, or maybe anthropology. I love the deep dive into how people behave online, it really brings out the worst.
Jon, your works continue to be incredible. This is one of my favorite series to watch. It's pretty good.
In a single video, Jon Bois shows why he's one of the best youtubers, creating a master piece of the site on one of the most pointless internet arguments.
I know this video was uploaded 8 years ago, and is about a thread from 8 years before that, but 10:20 was the biggest plot twist I've experienced this entire year.
+2
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. This may be my 20th time watching it, and it gets better every time....
I swear to god I've watched this video at least 10 times and it is seriously better every time
Hey y’all I’ve been working out every other day for 1 day, I worked out 27 times
Hope this helps:)
today marks the day.... this thread has now existed for ten years!
Holy shit I remember this when it happened. I was a miscer for like 5 years before moving onto reddit. RIP ZYZZ, you were a god among men.
Jon I hope you see this because this is genuinely some of the most perfect music I've ever heard picked for literally anything visual. Also you amaze me with your story weaving skills, yo.
I love all of Jon’s videos, but this one is speaking to me on a spiritual level with everything going on right now. Jon’s despair is so palpable. I just want to tell him everything is alright. That in the future we’ve all gotten on the same page and can agree on a basic set of facts like how many days are in a week...
But we can’t...
It’s been 10 years, 10 years since this wonderful display of internet insecurity. It’s gold, it’s all gold.
“He basically got tricked into writing a 2,000 word book report on the calendar, and he’s confused it with the greatest moment in his life” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I come back to this video every so often.
RIP to the BodyBuilder forums. They just shutdown. All that autism, lost, to time, like tears in the rain...
every few months I come back to check, and I'm glad to inform everyone gathered here that this is still the best video on youtube
14:29 No that was NOT your point toolshed!!
I remember a couple years ago this story hit my little chat group at the time. im pretty mad at math, but even I was able to deduce that the only way to work out every other day with no back to back workouts was a two-week calendar or to at some point in time skip two days instead of one. it would be interesting to dissect why each of these roided out toxic meat heads individually couldn't accept that we live in a world where the laws you've been given to live by may at times contradict (1: there are 7 days in a week. 2: never work out the same body part two days in a row)
Right? I don't understand how he didn't include that even numbers don't divide well into an odd numbered week... so therefore you'd need to do a fortnightly schedule or similar. I'm honestly so upset that there was clearly someone in particular who was absolutely wrong, and that didn't come up in this video. Terrible.
Reminds me of trying to explain to people how I calculate when it’s time to refill their controlled substance as a pharmacist. And great, it’s a leap year so next month will be a disaster.
have a question for you if youre still around
Well, yes, absolutely, but not because of what you thought
156k subs is a travesty. Jon Bois deserves many, many million of subs. There has never and will never be another Jon. The man is a treasure.I hope someday he gets that’s BAG HE DESERVES. I wouldn’t mind if he took net work money… does t matter. He deserves everything that’s hopefully comin his way.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how magnificently-placed that dramatic musical sting at 6:23 is?
Coming back a year later to comment what a national treasure this channel is. 👍🏻
11:12 - "God knows, I've been stupid more times than I can count in my life..." It's this level of self awareness that makes me love this channel beyond description...👍🤣🇦🇺
old internet arguements are the best. found one the other day on a 10 year old youtube video. the arguement took place over a period of THREE YEARS!! that's dedicated.
You gotta give us a link now buddy
Where's the sauce bro?
I accidentally researched this video, it still holds up. I need to revisit this yearly.
I am strongly impressed with the editing and the effort that went into making such a small random thing like an Nine year old thread seem so entertaining and worth watching. Great work Jon!
This has got to be the funniest video I've seen in the past 8 days of this week!
This debate is so dumb, just workout near midnight at Sunday so that you have half workouts between weeks.
Genius
Happy 16 years to the start of this tread. Also it's remarkable that the original forum is still up and the link is working
Josh is the only time i will let someone on the internet get away with basically "lol i was just being a troll" because i really think he was. He just disappeared from the thread for *so long* and let it all spin up. Poking your head back into a thread where you started a big argument just to say "oh wow you all are still doing this huh? well..have fun" is a baller move.
Honestly the alarming music getting louder as Jon slowly loses his mind really resonated with me. I cannot believe what I've just watched 😂
