i loved his assistant he clearly loves his job, the lil "mmm smells like pink" was honestly the best part about this.
-
At this point, I don't know if he is a scientist or candy maker. He really loves what he does, and I like it !
-
It doesn’t matter what they do, it could be the most boring job in the world, if you listen to someone who genuinely loves what they do talk about their job, it will always be fascinating. The passion, love and energy just makes it seem like they have the best job in the world.
-
The Candymaker narrating the entire thing was such a treat! What a legend!
-
It’s rare that you have a older generation and a younger generation. Showing so much passion for their craft! Really amazing
-
9:59 The coolest thing about this is the way the boss talks to his staff. He actually respects them as fellow professionals and works alongside them. The best bosses are the ones who don't feel like bosses, you love to see it.
-
It’s very interesting to see how candy is actually made, it’s genuinely satisfying to see the process. The fact that glucose and sucrose can make something so delicious, yet beautiful.
-
Honestly this shoot went so well that I'm surprised that these guys weren't offered a show making new types of candy and showcasing the history of the various tools each episode. I bet History channel would pick that up.
-
I got to meet Greg at his store a few years ago. He was making pomegranate image candy that day, and he used some of the candy “dough” to make a rose blossom lollipop for my sister-in-law, who he could tell was having a bad day.
-
you seriously couldn't have picked a better person to interview for this story. Greg is amazing and so incredibly knowledgeable.
-
wow the man speaking is so articulate and very good at explaining in ways any of us can easily understand. He would be a fantastic professor
-
9:30 WIRED seems to have cut out an important part here. He was saying why they use Mild Steel and not Stainless, and he says that stainless isn't magnetic, but then never says why being magnetic is important.....
-
13:10 "People seem to forget the history isn't that far away and the future isn't either and were just here in the middle being a caretaker for what's around us." Love this
-
Been a fan of Lofty Pursuits for a while now. This guy knows his candy. He's even been able to reverse engineer candy that's been out of production for years.
-
My special needs class was fascinated watching this! High quality narration telling this story! Thank you!
-
i ADORE lofty pursuits im so happy Greg was chosen for an interview this is phenomenal
-
I love what he said about seeing himself, not as an owner of the equipment, but instead a caretaker of it. It just sounds so genuine and humble, like he really just cares about the craftsmanship of it all instead of primarily focusing on getting praise or money for what he does. These kinds of people are really the ones who keep things running.
-
Really cool to see Greg get features like this. Been a huge fan of his channel for years.
-
Everyone commenting about Greg, but Uri is as capable as him. Having an apprentice like that is a good way to preserve the arts.
-
props to the guy that used thin gloves carrying a boiling hot pot
