The Duo Behind the FUNNIEST Business News on the Internet

[@GoodWorkMB]

Thanks for having us, Jack. Sorry for eating all your complimentary snacks. We will do it again.

[@HotBreathPod]

You guys killed it! Thank you for the awesome content!

[@Izzysai]

Love you that guys don't care about hightech videos and focus on the nuance of comedy. You guys are sly like a fox. It's crazy, everyone on both sides of the aisle loves you guys. Keep up the ," Good Work".

Part of the reason their "shitty" format works so well is also exactly because the corporate world is so blatantly overpolished. It's a refreshing contrast. And the content is genuinely good. Thanks for the insight, Virtual Vermicelli!

[@matthewwatt2295]

I LOVE Good Work so much, so excited you've managed to get them on the channel for a video!

[@BirdieDev]

I came across that first consultants video when it was initially posted and felt immediately that it was like some beautiful mix of a Jon Stewart-era Daily Show correspondent segment or Colbert bit meets the modern internet (with a dash of Eric Andre). I was so confused cause the video was so fucking good I was ready to go binge every other video on the channel and it was the only one there. Glad it popped off and they stuck with it. Such great content, now I watch every one as soon it gets posted.

[@gluposti111]

Well said! I would add just a bit of South Park to the mix (recent cousin "invest" joke just nailed it)

[@BenjaminJaksch]

This is one of the most valuable channels for me on KZbin. Jack, thank you so much for your questions that are always on point. This is what KZbin should be about: A place to excel creatively. And your guests all have their own very unique way to do so.

[@smohan123]

i totally had that reaction when I first found good work. “what is this.” soon it was “oh it’s live action The Onion. ”

[@squintsyadams8463]

Except The Onion is way more satirical, to the point of being nonsensical.

[@rainbomg]

I was watching one of their videos and my husband came in and said “oh this is the onion?”

[@TheLKStar]

Onion is 100% satire, good work is journalism mixed with comedy

[@hamzerpanzer]

​​@@TheLKStarThey do have some 100% onion-esque stories and shorts too

[@siddat7382]

Good work TikTok is The Onion, but their long videos cover real news stories in a funny way.

[@LiminalQueenMedia]

Dan is incredibly handsome.

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

Yeah, that trench coat and suit combo is really good… he’s really hot! 🤭😍

[@MoniBahaa]

He's Jack Quaid handsome.

[@brendanressler4359]

For some reason this is the thing I find the funniest about them. He shouldn’t be that handsome

[@bzipoli]

nice try dan, you're still not getting the 4th quarter bonus btw

[@LiminalQueenMedia]

@@bzipoli I'd give him whatever he wanted tbh

[@ampersignia]

A lot of the appeal of the channel to me is that Dan looks like a finance bro who went to an Ivy and did some sport like rowing, but then he blurts out some unexpected shit. If he looked like an occupy wall st member, I don’t think it’d be as funny.

[@squintsyadams8463]

Dan has incredibly nice skin.

[@EnglishWritingTips]

Thank you so much for this interview! Good Work has without a doubt been my favorite channel this year. I took inspiration from them for a recent video I did (with a totally different topic), and had such a blast, so it was SO wonderful to see this talk with them and learn more about their process! Much appreciated!

[@dhtoomey]

Every KZbinr's trick is quaaludes. I learned that from Mr. Beast.

[@robfishn]

You guys are killing it! I recently found your channel and love the topics and reporting. The humor in delivery is an added bonus to finding someone doing some actual journalism. Keep the content solid and keep up the "good work"

[@JackSather]

These guys are THE BEST. I dream to be interviewed by Jack one day! - a fellow Jack

[@DonJewey]

27:24 “this could all go down immediately😀”… begins to seriously contemplate that scenario

[@mnmlst1]

I'm happy they chose to look like a "low production" since there's too many KZbinrs doing super perfect editing lighting sound etc. It makes it so original and like how KZbin was in the beginning where people did videos for themselves.

[@SeekersofUnity]

So glad you had these guys on for your lovely raw convo. Love them :)

[@smetlogik]

Dig this channel. Always value in learning how different creators view their creative process.

[@KatesGarden]

I love these videos too. It’s nice to see these production questions that don’t get asked in regular interviews. I find them really interesting and helpful 👍

[@nino-lg2pp]

I came here for Good Work but I don't know what's more surprising: reading that the host is the CEO of Patreon, seeing a clip of Pomplamoose and realizing he was Jack Conte all along 11 minutes in, or piecing those two realizations together 😭😭

[@zaynwoods]

this is such a good interview i love how specific the questions are good job!

[@Judymontel]

I love finding out about channels I've not heard of before. I went and watched a few of their videos and most definitely subscribed. I find the discussion about the stripped down look or "under-producing" really interesting. I recently tried subbing to a channel about a topic and a person whose story really interested me. I was eager to follow along. Strangely, though, being kind of an impatient and scrappy person myself, the videos on the channel were just beautiful. Incredibly produced. Shiny, shiny down to every last detail. I had to leave. I couldn't take it. Maybe one of the keys to youtube success stories from the very beginning really was the relatability of enough mess to seem natural. Thanks DS - you're another new to me channel I'm enjoying a lot.

[@vngt]

These guys embody the culture of internet ugly in a good way, their videos are great

[@elucified]

Omg i love Good Work, hilarious and informative, great journalism, the whole package.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

I dont even need this video to tell me how much really genuine effort is put into good work. Every time i watch their videos i feel like im stealing because im genuinely so amazed that this stuff is just free on youtube.

[@henriquejambu]

when the first goodwork video showed up to me "what is this" was really my reaction! it's crazy that i didn't even notice they were part of morning brew, it really gives off genuine independent youtube channel vibes and i love it!

[@AG-ur1lj]

Oh damn! I was sitting there for the whole first 1/3 of the video trying to figure out why I recognize the interviewer. Pomplamoose! Would never have expected to see Jack here- a surprise that will never be unwelcome. Love the band, you’re all bona fide badasses

[@10tothe10088]

It's odd that as a Pomplamoose and Jack subscriber I discover this channel through Good Work, but hey, one more thing they're teaching me about 😂

[@NBTJacklyn]

So excited to watch this one

[@PotsandPansWhatsPotsandPans]

I worry about Dan’s descent into villainhood each time he can’t keep that one eye brow down

[@HiMyNameIsKim]

The page is SO FUNNY. I was so happy to see them here. 10/10

[@TOPSSPOT]

I love the humour boys. The gag reel is so fast. My favourite low key joke is the guest title and Dans title constantly changes as conversation evolves and how it brings in great side stories. Also the blurring of anonymous guests and then one shot where Dan is blurred is out, got me rolling.

[@minguyen4365]

OMG I LOVE THISSSSS good work is amazing. Found this channel from ur guys vid about Natalie Lynn!

[@fahlmancomputing8628]

I just started bingeing their episodes from most recent to oldest, and am really enjoying not just the content they are covering, but also that there is a thread of the reporter's journey as a person, which is equally funny to me. Not sure if that is related to the "iPhone era" and their desire to grow and change as they progress, but I do know I am loving it.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Along with Colin & Samir, this is THE series for creators - thank you Jack!

[@ItsDeffoScott]

I have actually never seen their channel, but know of Morning Brew. Didn't know these guys were the ones blowing it up and trending it. Nice work.

[@PhilippBlum]

Hands down, they are doing the best educational content.

[@khalilboss2855]

Doing the whole script over and over in 5 different location is crazy. Kudos to Dan and Good Work team! ♥️

[@simon7762]

What a gem! Big fan of Scary Pockets and Good Work, I did not see this coming :)

[@superiorslush5147]

34:13 this is funny to me cause I am familiar with your music from randomly recommended shorts of you in the studio with the band and familiar with Good work from a randomly recommended video, now it has gone full circle watching this almost year old interview.

[@stevend456]

I had no idea Todd Howard worked on Good Work_ glad to see you getting other work Todd!

[@johngrossiv9185]

This is the first time that I've ever seen Dan smile

[@JuliusDotCo]

Interesting to hear that they don’t want to get complacent on a certain style of video. It seems like creators have success on KZbin by finding a niche and repeating that same thing over and over until it’s ran into the ground. Great interview, love the Good Work boys!

[@DNBon.an808]

good work_ is the absolute best! I laugh, I learn, i rewatch...its a gem in my feed.

[@dinakazakevich]

OMG! Thanks for this episode, three of my favorite people.

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

I never heard of these guys, credit and respect to what they accomplished

[@YazminM2222]

I think the best part of the show is that he looks like any avarage guy walking and saying the news with a cameraman with random movements and out-of-place locations 😂 There is one video that they do a rotation to the neck, literally you are not supposed to see the neck of the reporter, never, i was laughing for hours

[@Mr_C137]

I love these dudes what a great interview!!

[@clrksml]

Henry Stockwell is strikingly similar in facial appearance to younger Todd Howard.

[@UndarZ]

Somehow, we were robbed of hearing Jack's "hot take" on iPhone video production...

[@lastmanstanley]

THE GOATS

[@Obie.]

The first few minutes was stressful watching Dan take every question without Henry having a chance to jump in, but I’m glad he found how to get an even ground to answer as well

[@rainbomg]

What Dan said about Henry being an important part of the creative process by helping him know when to stop is often true in my experience, as well. I’m a painter and I’ve always benefitted from having folks walk through the studio and tell me when they think something should be left alone. I’ve found when left to my own devices I’ll just keep messing with things and ruin half of them. Of course you don’t always stop just bc someone says to, but this should be just bc you know for a fact it’s not done yet. So those times that you’re _not_ taking that advice to leave something alone are instances where you’ve got a clear, specific plan in your head for where a piece is going to end up. When the advice is so helpful is when you don’t have an exact outcome planned, when you’re really being spontaneous and letting the thing come from pure creativity, and when that creativity is open and unrestrained it has no construct to keep it controlled or focused (or stuck). This is why changing your medium is such a good way to overcome an artist’s block, because the better you get at one thing, the more you master your tools and technique, the more you understand the capabilities of a medium, the more restricted your thinking will be as you use it. Only when you’re unsure of how a new medium works can you really push past the skill based masterful brain and release that curious and hopeful demon that drives our creative process. It’s also how we improve over time, because simply doing the things you’re already good at will not force growth. _hmm scary stuff_ 📹 🎤🧥📑

[@MatthewHaines]

This video brought me joy, made me laugh and gave me ideas for my own channel. Thank you!

It’s so god damn funny, I laugh so hard every episode

[@midiminion6580]

absolutely love goodwork. Keep doing the good job!

[@mitchellcohen]

This was an awesome breakdown! Thanks for sharing

[@Kane0123]

Am loving the sticky note

[@codythep]

These guys are hilarious and I found them through IG!

[@insu_na]

It's one of the funniest channels on KZbin, but it's kinda wild to think about Morning Brew being owned by Business Insider, which is owned by Insider, which is owned by Axel Springer, which is in turn owned by literal Nazis. Great interview! I hope to see more from those guys, tho maybe without the *very* indirect association to their topmost parent company and its owners

[@WhoIsOlton]

14:26 sometimes you find out late why something appeals to you... i did not know that the "shitty" editing is what makes Good Work_ good for me as an AV-Pro and Cam-Jo

[@Lanz7]

Wait, is this the guy from Pomplamoose?

[@Lanz7]

I've now watched the video and heard him confirm it

[@ohgoodgrief]

oh my gosh what a great video

[@ipsilonia]

as a black woman, the appeal of good work (besides the incredibleeeee writing and editing) is the fact that dan looks like a stereotypical white finbro. but in actuality he’s a white guy (who might not be corrupted by capitalism?) demystifing some of the most gatekept White Guy Industries. it’s a very self-aware, almost self-referential kind of commentary. and the comedy is on point bc these industries really are bizarre and deserve critique. also i haven’t heard the name pomplamoose in FOREVER wow
