There's something about this, where all the cynicism just melts away at the end, that really gets me.
@Dctr-mg8km
I'll admit, this video played a non-zero part in my decision to stop studying Computer Engineering and become a baker instead
@kcfamilam5109
Holy shit that last moment gave me more motivation to go for my dreams than any lecture ever will
@danfelder8062
The best part of this is how the roommate reacts this whole time. Normally the moment the friend or family that's discouraging you realizes you have talent and admits would be a huge, validating moment. But when Brian says "that's the best bread I've ever had" his roommate just nods. He knows he has talent and has confidence in himself. He doesn't need Brian's approval, he's just finally helped his roommate see what he knew was there all along. And Brian, who gave up on himself, realizes he should have believed in his roommate... And maybe himself too. That's genuinely brilliant.
@Avalinara
This video has such ambiguous internet vibes. You could have told me this was made in any year between like 2005 and 2020 and I probably would have believed you
@trevorroscoe2245
I came here after watching Brian nearly cry while eating salted fry bread in Unraveled. He sure does have a knack for being surprised by good bread.
@junkmail2223
i love the part where you imply that mathematicians have stable high paying employment
@Kajnake
"lucrative" "teacher" Those words dont come together
@Emiltee
On one hand I'm very happy and impressed by Nick getting his PhD at MIT On the other hand
@koromoro6682
I avoided this video like the plague thinking it was going to be a negative serious lecture style video about how becoming a baker is unrealistic and bla bla bla I’m glad I finally caved, and I’m so sorry for those who didn’t
@Vic-mj4ts
hate that this fun lil video is what finally knocked me out of the horrible "i need to get a high paying job and THEN ill try to be happy". now im still in college but i changed majors to something simple and have a minimum wage job that i dont hate and im no longer impressive but im happier.
@gummybeast6343
As someone who’s parents are literally a Physics doctor and math teacher, I’m gonna assume he deliberately chose two of the least lucrative positions for irony
@arturia-leafgreen5127
oh wow i just realized the dude i watch on polygon is the same one who made the bread video, previously i believed these where 2 separately brilliant individuals
@Nono-hk3is
My partner opened her bakery a year ago next month. It's been non-stop 100 hour weeks, just scraping by. That's it, no heartwarming ending (yet). She's often frustrated and depressed, and she gets stressed out having to socialize with her customers. But she still gets excited to bake stuff, and her customers love her bread.
@Demilich23
Nothing wrong with being a baker. You'll just knead a little dough to get by.
@dfknoxcross
Me: [unsure of what to do with my life, considers becoming a baker] YouTube recommended: NO YA DONT
@DougSalad
Roommate has got such a calming, reassuring smile, and I hope he acheives all of his dreams.
@hakaibunshi
Coronavirus pandemic uses reverse UNO card: makes everyone give up on their dreams and turn to baking.
@roxanablue
“go to MIT , get ur PhD” love that cause in a polygon video bdg called his old roommate (the one in this video) and said that he was studying for a PhD in physics at MIT
