That's beautiful

What’s your Mount Rushmore of guys named Bob?

kd-hughes.bsky.social•38 days ago

Boblidarity, if you will.

rabbitwitch.bsky.social•38 days ago

guess whose coming to pitch is a great joke

crotchrocket.bsky.social•38 days ago

better remaster your bob documentary

deanbooth.bsky.social•37 days ago

Some reference material

heidnseek.bsky.social•38 days ago

Shucks,,, you might need to make a Bob part 3 jon

jonbois.bsky.social•38 days ago

a lot of people on here probably haven’t known me for very long so just to clarify, i did actually make a documentary studying guys in sports named bob https://youtu.be/lvh6NLqKRfs?si=napmmEu8vxKn8zAp

or1x.bsky.social•34 days ago

once i talked to my thesis intructor about bob emergency and they looked at me like i was a nutcase and left the university shortly after

Bob on Bob love

neonthotsky.bsky.social•37 days ago

The bit in the Bob Beamon part where your narration stops and there's just the measuring tape is so emotional it's insane. Genius story telling.

jtegan.bsky.social•38 days ago

One of my favorites, an instant classic right up there with Dave Stieb.

byrdturgler.bsky.social•38 days ago

It's a beaut. Love the subchapter on Bob Beamon.

lennon-s.bsky.social•38 days ago

One of my all-time favorites

inkana.bsky.social•38 days ago

jon my wife and i watched the bob emergency during an acid trip once and it was pure delight. ty

localvagrant.bsky.social•37 days ago

i don't know what i would have done at the bob beamon part. I probably would have lost my mind at that point.

inkana.bsky.social•37 days ago

that is 100% what happened

jonbois.bsky.social•38 days ago

lol hell yeah

bobbyg007.bsky.social•37 days ago

And what an amazing documentary it was!

peristy.bsky.social•38 days ago

jon no one who has been familiar with you for more than five minutes would doubt for a moment that you either would make or have made a documentary about guys in sports named bob

potatocubed.bsky.social•38 days ago

It's an all-time piece of work.

munch365.bsky.social•37 days ago

still your masterpiece

vesselvindicate.bsky.social•37 days ago

still love this video. very name affirming for little me just starting out trying the name bob

mfiorina.bsky.social•37 days ago

I love showing this to people and seeing their reaction when they realize it’s only “Part 1”

thatdangdad.fun•38 days ago

I recently showed a clip of your Bob Emergency video at a little seminar I gave on effective data visualization at a corporate retreat.

gehrry.bsky.social•36 days ago

Jon Bois has made it into serious business 🧳

jackdaw.tv•38 days ago

I just rewatched this for the fourth or fifth time the other day. A real masterwork.

devoureroftime.bsky.social•38 days ago

The segment on Bob Beamon alone is worth watching both parts. Just an awe inspiring human feat that was given the gravity and recognition it deserves.

jeffersonpilot.bsky.social•38 days ago

I've showed this to every Bob I know, great doc

erant91.bsky.social•37 days ago

Where's part 2 Jon?

bobclewell.bsky.social•38 days ago

Probably the greatest documentary ever made.

basilvoneck.bsky.social•38 days ago

First of Jon’s to make me cry. The second was fighting in the age of loneliness.

lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social•38 days ago

The Bob Beamon long jump segment genuinely gives me chills

basilvoneck.bsky.social•38 days ago

That’s the precise one that made me cry! The meter stick goes past 28 and the waterworks start right up.

lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social•38 days ago

It's so well edited and presented. Like it makes me feel proud of the guy as if I knew him personally

colbypupgb.bsky.social•38 days ago

....now you're just Bobbing for views

ilmariwalker.bsky.social•38 days ago

looking at a scarily bobless future

cmlvi.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is the video I use to explain Chart Party to friends. "Did you know about the Bob Crisis taking place in sports? I have a 90 minute, 2 part video of charts to explain in detail about it"

renoman.bsky.social•38 days ago

I think that this was the first series I saw from you. It's still one of my favorites, right behind the Dave Stieb doc.

pprct.xyz•38 days ago

the part about bob beamon changed my life. my roommate and i were standing up from the couch hollering at the tv like it was happening live

artbrovera.bsky.social•38 days ago

Really loved how this one threaded a narrative history of a medium through a seemingly simple lense and I appreciate that having a blog about the history of beverages told through the lense of Frasier and which ones were on it

seesea23.bsky.social•37 days ago

As a Bob myself (albeit in the non-pro athlete division) this is an all timer.

evanhadfield.bsky.social•38 days ago

I've probably sent this to a dozen people at this point. It's incredible.

ahst.bsky.social•38 days ago

The sequence you did for Bob Beamon is the only time a slow pan along an X-axis made me cry.

nebman.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is unironically the one thing I'd expect people to know about you above everything else.

nmufred.bsky.social•38 days ago

Have we seen any new Bobs in sports since that video was published? A few Bobbys and Roberts, but I haven’t noticed any Bobs

richardcrossan.bsky.social•38 days ago

Join my campaign to have Bobby Wagner, Bobby Portis and Boban Marjanovic referred to as Bob

ospeedwagon.bsky.social•38 days ago

i call him Bob Portis about half the time

richardcrossan.bsky.social•38 days ago

He has strong Bob energy, it’s clearly his destiny to end the curse

ospeedwagon.bsky.social•38 days ago

dame agrees as well

nmufred.bsky.social•38 days ago

Agreed!

nmufred.bsky.social•38 days ago

As a Bucks fan the Bobby Portis one is solid, but I love the Americanization of Boban!

hailstone92.bsky.social•37 days ago

I just discovered a series that you did that apparently someone has been trying to have removed from the internet so I won't mention it by name because I want to finish the series before it gets removed.. 👀

You need to promote yourself some more..

You don’t see a big smile on Gibson’s face too often! What a picture that is; fabulous

bronwynjoye.bsky.social•38 days ago

The beauty of that picture is if he had been holding hands with anybody but Bob Gibson, it wouldn’t have been nearly as funny. Gibson was such an intense player, whose reputation bordered on seeming “mean”. To me, this is what makes Uecker holding his hand hilarious!!
