The bombs in their lil batpacks, the deranged dentist who had the idea in the first place. Feels spiritually related. But maybe you covered it already? Regardless, this was great.

2025-02-23 20:40:07 +0000 UTCThe Jon Bois episode The Dumbest Boy Alive covers the "How many days are in a week" bobybuilder forum argument, it is one of the best videos from a legendary yt creator and journalist in his early days. I'll go back and watch that every now and then and it makes me feel old (I think it's 8 years old)
