Randall Cunningham Seizes the Means of Production | Pretty Good, Episode 13 

Preach, brother! Solidarity forever!

The union keeps us strong.

Goddamn right!!!

Together we bargain, divided we beg

Yeah, they work until the union members become just as much of a shitbag as the people they were trying to fight against

YES. Was thinking the same thing.

It's pretty good

I think it’s pretty good

bro.... same

The music at 9:15 is just...

Gabe Wulfman didn’t age well, did it

Yikes

Yes obviously he didn’t know about the virus when this video was made, but also, I don’t think anyone could have predicted the players union would agree on a deal where they add a 17th game to the schedule, only get .5% increased revenue and virtually all the major players in the NFL were against it.

Chris D'Avanzo It’s because they gave such a significant amount to the majority of players in the NFL (eg not the superstars)

@@skillswiper They gave them an amount but considering the change of language on some post retirement benefits I wouldn't call it significant

Can he uhhh make a video about the chiefs lol

Do one on the bills

@@taymorrison Jon Bois is a Chiefs fan, he talks about the Chiefs quite a bit in certain videos. lol

and the bengals

I don't wanna talk about it

Two wrongs don't make a right.

@@veritasinvicta8128 perfect response

@@veritasinvicta8128 Assuming that running up the score is wrong in the first place. And if it is, Tex Schramm is a hypocrite for the prior week's blowout. There's a few problems with calling that play an ethical question, there's a LOT of problems with the recipient calling it an ethical question.

@@veritasinvicta8128 the wrong of locking up innocent people and the wrong of throwing a ball in an unsportsmanlike manner are not exactly the same thing

@@gonb5434 yeah but without Japanese internment, George Takei might have taken a different path, and we might not have gotten Star Trek. Therefore, who is to say it was wrong? Locking up children is a land of contrasts.

Nah he's good, he's out there kicking touchdowns.

J-E-T-S! JETS JETS JETS!

Blair walsh

Daniel Carlson

Josh Scobee?

Gedalyah Reback Cowboys been jinxed since the 90s.

and I am glad for it.

I come from the future...Eagles win!

Same

Eagles are actually pretty good now.

Yeah, that "swith" was killer.

OP: “Unions rül!” Reality: *Stupid teamsters violence, mild chaos, and massive transportation issues ensue* OP: “You’re an a-hole if you don’t like unions!”

@@soarabove337 Looks like we got ourselves a real reason and logic one.

@@soarabove337 keep licking them boots fuckboi

@@writingwolfe hell yeah go off Alex

Ray Cornwall Hope your dad's up there somewhere watching the Eagles this Sunday. Go Birds!

Hope your dad celebrated

I'm not supposed to be tearing up at comments on sports vids. What'd you do?!

That's beautiful man. My dad died in October 2017. We are UT Vols fans and I'm a UT alum. Our men's basketball team just spent 4 weeks at #1 -the longest in school history. I feel the same way, he would have loved to see this bball team...

He died too early 😰

efae feaef Japanese internment? Pretty not good. Unsportsmanlike football play? PRETTY GOOD.

the Japanese did run much worse internment caps so theres that

Troy Henway yeah, but we put Americans in internment camps, doofus

Yep. That's 1980s Republican logic for you.

FDR put the Japanese in camps and FDR was a democrat. That's that 2018 libtard logic for you......

I find myself returning to all of the videos from "Pretty Good" at least a couple times a year, Jon's storytelling is just a work of art

Yes! I don't like sports, but I love a good John Bois video. This is one of my favorites so far. They all have a universal appeal

It's the over-exaggeration that turns what is essentially a children's game into some kind of devastatingly deep philosophical discussion. That's what so funny and entertaining.

@@logicaldude3611 I understand what you mean (that when boiled down, football is just a game), but I prefer to think that everyone's lives have some manner of philosophical importance, big or small, that could be discussed.

8:34 Imagine the Girl Scouts having to compete with those players for sales.

@@jakesimon5497 the girls scouts were more mature than the NFL players

More like UrinatingTree jinxed the Patriots. But two Gods helped regardless

Andy Gygi he also made a video about the Browns and they still stink lol

@@Airmaster167 But at least they don't stink as much. They even beat the Ravens. Jon Bois is the opposite of Madden cover confirmed.

@@Airmaster167 Browns are 10-5 now

@@bradyrhodess might still miss out on the playoffs

😂 who would’ve ever thought right

🤣

I remember when Ufford crossed the picket line and fell off the edge of flat earth ...wait no I don't, lol

Brandon Mills The only reason he is like this is because he has to pay his ex wife’s alimony

who is he?

That's very sad. Unrelated question: What is a good part of Oklahoma?

tjbtech Anywhere that’s not a small town or Moore tbh

Brendan Clark or turley!

Rejoice, friend, Pretty Good is making a comeback!

A fake kneeldown isn't in any madden game I'm aware of.

Banana Narwhals you have a point ig

@@banananarwhals2016 I think there's a fake spike in some of them, which would be weird in and of itself. "We're gonna spike the ball to stop the clock and run up more points on you. HA! Nope! We just gonna throw it instead!" Might cause the AI to spontaneously combust right there on the field.

@@banananarwhals2016 Just make a pass in the victory formation. That's basically it.

@@aok2075 you can do that?

Ryan Melnick I think you mean 1974?

Good episode of the Dollop on this. Jon should go on that pod

obvious is obvious. this was brilliant.

what about 10 yrs later in china

Qxir

I've never encountered someone else who knows that song besides my friend who showed it to me

​@@MrAtlfan21 We are legion. There's multitudes of us.

Me too. I love my Eagles and my city so much. The birds represent the heart of the people

Like the cowboys needed any more reasons to be the most hated team in the league Haha.

He also extorted Tony Dorsett into playing during the strike. So, in the world according to Tex Schramm, extortion is ethical, and concentration camps are ethical, but running trick plays is unethical. Tex Schramm's definition of "ethical" was "beneficial to Tex Schramm." It's professional football. The players aren't kids. The coaches aren't volunteers. Schramm spent millions of dollars building his team. If he didn't want his team to get scored on, he should have built one that could stop it.

Yeah, he certainly sounds like he's of a certain lineage and rearing from that part of the world. Not just Texas, either. Oklahoma gets some shade as well.

Curiously enough for a man with the first name 'Texas', he was born and grew up in California.

@andrew7taylor Is it really a surprise?

Kona Kai Plummer seems like a cool guy though

My gf is related to him, apparently he is a swell guy.

Lol

Jake the Snake, was a legit QB back in the day

Funny thing about that man's career is he still had a few years left when he retired and he retired when the bucs signed him lol..He did not want to play here at all, I think it was like 2006; in 05 he was a Bronco.

Thanks for naming the song!

Thanks, I thought it sounded like the soundtrack to Stranger Things.

Amanda Woody Good luck! I hope it all works out well.

Solidarity

Just be careful that your union doesn't rip the guts out of the industry you're in during the process.

Solidarity and good luck, from an IWW member.

@ThisIsMyRealName Packard, Packard-Studebaker, Bobbi-Kar, Keller Motor Corporation. Never heard of these? That's because the union throttled them to death post-war. In fact, there's a large former Packard plant that is still in Detroit. When Packard went under, did another company, such as one of the big three, take it over? No, it was left abandoned and thousands lost their jobs because of the "protection" that the Union tried to force Packard to provide. Something it could ill-afford as a smaller company. Up until 2017 it just sat there, completely abandoned, and only now has a renovation project begun in the area. But sure, the Auto Unions causing undo stress to companies surely doesn't happen. I mean, what other industry has clauses where surplus workers that aren't ever working are still paid full salary wages?

If you're ever wondering if a law exists here, ask yourself "Could this ever help somebody who is poor/female/disenfranchised/a minority?" If the answer is yes, it probably doesn't exist.

@@jordanfry5138 You're making it too much about identity politics. It's class. What the actual question is, is: "Can this help someone who isn't rich?".

@@TheTaterTotP80 That's fair, but the two aren't necessarily separate. Modern discrimination is class discrimination at its core.

Hmm implementing new law as sounds like a great idea! in fact, let’s take a look at a city in the US that empowerd unions and gave them all sorts of advantages. Look at Detroit. Oh wait.

@@hockeycrafter6086 shhhh don't destroy the illusion

Ancient Hawkk Glory to Jon in the highest! Amen!

The Bois are back in town

KP Watershed your a legend

IT'S BACK!!!

But it's not Chart Party

this comment put a smile on my face

Never seen this comment on every ‘Pretty Good’ episode ever made before. Wow!

@@flyingcabbage3551 Say he's wrong, though.

K.

+SAM BRICKELL very informative reply

Eh, it shows a common misunderstanding of the role that Unions play currently, largely one of self-destructive actions that are supposed to "help" the average worker, but cripple the industry he is in.

Y'know I'm not sure which is more amusing, the idea that jon bois who neurotically and statisitically studies in depth minutiae, even economic contexts for the videos he makes, has some misunderstanding about something that's clearly very close to him as a former wage slave worker and current writer, or the idea of their being a single Average Worker who cripples the industry he's in by being in a union. Like... there he is. The Average Worker.

I understand that jokes sometimes read wrong so for the sake of clarity: I was being facetious by imagining someone taking the thoughts I illustrated seriously. Power to the people is power to the working people. Unions are needed as long as there's bosses to keep them scared. You right. Jon Bois was certainly correct.

Kite 76

na 77

You know, I think you're right. It's crazy how you can watch these stories for years and years and not pick up little details like that.

Didn't seem to matter that Landry was a former player when he ran up the score in the first game.

When the Vikings seized the means of production

I can't believe this comment is just sitting here, almost on its own, with just 3 likes. After learning about Randall's magical 1998, I knew I needed to learn more!

God The Real One I told my history teacher about this channel

God The Real One I guess

God The Real One and this became a story of love ❤️

That hotel is 500 feet from my house. Saw it on the scan in and scan out. Was 2 and a few hundred feet away when this happened and I’m an Eagles fan who works for a construction union but never heard of this. Pretty cool.

I'm in the same boat.

Same!

Well shows like "The Worst", "1st", and anything with Ufford are pretty good

They're good but they're not pretty good.

@NYGAllDay 521: Effective 2/4/2018... Philadelphia Eagles are *SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS.*

i thought the same 🤣

Mark Jones yeah I like baseball too, my fave team won their first game after the other team tried a field goal for the win but our goalie saved it

The rêãł Dave Smith īš ñöt fäké shut up

I love hockey I like it when they slam each other through tables

I keep it so fresh on the microphone I like no interruptions when the game is on

Just like they do it in the NBA

You said this 2 months before we won the Super Bowl. So, is it now the 2nd best day ever?

oooh I'm with you brother
