THE DUMBEST BOY ALIVE. PRETTY GOOD, EPISODE SIX.

In 2008, some people in a message board spent an entire weekend fighting over how many days are in a week. This is their story. Welcome to Pretty Good, a show about stories that are pretty good.
Written, produced, edited, and narrated by Jon Bois for SB Nation.

[@ChrisMan183]

exactly, so if it's a single day, and you work out twice in that day, that's two workouts, sprinkle that in over a 2 week period and you have 10 workouts!

[@anonymoussecret5948]

YOU ARE THE DUMBEST PERSON ALIVE. Let’s count days in the week, Monday 1 Tuesday 2 Wednesday 3 Thursday 4 Friday 5 Saturday 6 Sunday 7. 2 weeks is 14 days which gives you 10 days and some extra. IDIOT,!,!!!111!!1!

[@ifisher32]

My favorite part about this entire thing is that the only reasonable man in this thread, the guy who told them to just forget the concept of a week entirely and just alternate days, was completely ignored. They are so attached to the concept of weeks and months that they can’t fathom just alternating workout and rest days without considering what week it is in the month or what month it is in the year.

YES! YES!!!!! And even with his logic they would still reach their "logical" conclusion of 3.5 days smh

[@nikbol43below]

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.

[@MustardPipeLibrary]

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.

Until I watched this video, I knew how many days were in a week. I think I still do, but I'm not as sure as I was 18 minutes ago.

Disliking this video is a crime against humanity

[@damienthonk1506]

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.

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

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...👍🤣🇦🇺

14:29 No that was NOT your point toolshed!!

[@ihaveskillissue69]

I think half this thread was just shit-posters that were ahead of their time, and it worked. Look how worked up you got about the ten day argument. Countering shit posting is a losing game, the only way you can not lose is to not play the game. But people take the bait all the time, I do it too.

[@nicholaswhite7056]

i mean is it still just shitposting if it makes the poster look absolutely uninformed about anything at all? being dumb ironically still makes you look dumb...I dunno. This is one of those things where different people just have different experiences and opinions and if they want to use those to look like a jackass on the internet more power to them i guess.

[@workingclassrunner]

Also, as someone who has internetted way too much in his life, I notice a lot of the later cameos in that thread were just straight up trolling, like the 10 workouts guy. That was a textbook troll post.

[@goclbert]

But no one in this thread is saying anything of substance and the only audience at the time were the participants. If half were trolling, then they would just be trolling themselves by contributing troll answers hundreds of words long. That one dude with the 10 in 2 weeks was the only troll that didn’t drag himself down with the trolled.

[@gmonroy852]

What if they weren't trollers and they actually think that way lol.....this world is soo entertaining

[@tillerisagod8572]

DrmChld: “Hey! I have been working out every other day for the past 2 weeks and I’ve worked out 10 times!” Me: *”Hey, pal, Did you just blow in from stupid town?”*

[@sittinonthegodamcornerdoindope]

I come back to this video every so often.

[@workingclassrunner]

Pretty convinced at this point that TheJosh was actually trolling all the way. The misspellings. The over-intellectualizing of the whole argument. Hits the bullet points of a textbook troll. It's pretty much how reddit itself works.

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

[@rockaway0beach]

Well, yes, absolutely, but not because of what you thought

[@Qvorum]

This debate is so dumb, just workout near midnight at Sunday so that you have half workouts between weeks.

[@de-fault_de-fault]

It’s almost as if a week has an odd number of days, so if you want to do something consistently every other day, it won’t fall on the same days every week.

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, your works continue to be incredible. This is one of my favorite series to watch. It's pretty good.

I full on cried laughing at Justin's "you do have a lot to lose....bodyfat" comment. I swear I cried lmfao 😂😂😂

Honestly the alarming music getting louder as Jon slowly loses his mind really resonated with me. I cannot believe what I've just watched 😂

Justin-27 really proves you either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[@snager80]

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)

[@jama211]

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.

[@JoshAntes99]

I swear to god I've watched this video at least 10 times and it is seriously better every time

[@theversusverses]

i think the funniest part of this, to me, is the fact that after "saturday presses forward" there are multiple sunrises and sunsets on saturday alone as if the universe itself is bending to match this thread's idea of a week

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.
