In this episode, Pete might have convinced Matti to get a tattoo, and it involves fire! Pete also opens the book on his Pete’s Pirate Life brand. He digs into where it came from, his spin on creator merch and physical products, and why it’s become a success. He goes so far as to say that Pete’s Pirate Life may be more on-brand for him than the ‘Peter McKinnon’ brand. They also dig into the country-life, and how awesome the smell of the bonfire is.

The guys debrief together on their recent experience tank fillings! They both ended up in British Columbia at separate times for separate reasons, but reminisce on things like, going to a restaurant, parking at an airport, experiencing… something! They also tank a jaunt down Christopher Nolan movies and Pete tries to make sense of Tenet, which is impossible. Pete then quizzes Matti on his snowboard jargon before the Canon battery charge sound triggers Matti.

In this 35 minute episode, the guys start off by chatting about how they may aim for the podcast to be 15 to 20 minutes long… an A for effort guys! But the guys dig into what the futures of their channels are, and how much the ‘content creator’ space has changed since they started. Before it was just YouTube videos, now there’s Reels, Stories, Fleets, TikTok, Shorts, IGTV, etc. - leaving them always wondering if they did enough at the end of the day. They get into the future of their channels, and what content they're looking forward to making!

The guys finally reconvene after lockdown and dig deep into what this second lockdown has been like for them… they come to the most logical conclusion that Pete must sell his office and move back in with Matti! The guys also talk about filling up the experience tank and Matti recently filled his up by renting a U-Haul. Pete is reading 2 books a month and has learned about choice paralysis, and how he’s cleaning everything out at home, and his office!

The guys are joined by two Apple execs, Jon McCormack: VP Camera Software Engineering and Francesca Sweet: Product Line Manager, iPhone.
We dig into the magic that goes into the Apple computational photography system from chip, to lens, to software, to all the math that happens when you press that camera button!
We also ask the real hard hitting questions of if they are front pocket iPhone people or back pocket iPhone people. The results are split.
The guys also pitch the idea of them getting invited to the secret lab where they create and test all the iPhone cameras. They said they’ll have to get back to us.

Follow Kirk: https://www.instagram.com/capt.kirklucas/
This podcast is what Siskel & Ebert would call HIGH DRAMA. A story of how Pete with his magician-like-persuasion, power of suggestion, and subconscious redirects potentially stole Kirk from Matti in Matti’s search for an editor. Although Matti is convinced he had the mental fortitude and wherewithal to not be persuaded by Pete… but, we will never know!
Captain Kirk joins us this episode! We dive into Kirk’s story from architecture school, to working for secret companies, and ultimately coming to make a delicious hot sauce with Peter… oh and also being his editor, but not JUST an editor… His partner in crime.
Kirk spills the (coffee) beans about what Pete is like as a boss. Plus more secrets are revealed too, Kirk may or may not have planted hidden easter eggs in many Pete’s videos— find them if you can!

Matti’s back in studio after being a Dad x 2, and Peter’s back in the studio after having stabbed himself in the leg x 2. Peter delves into his new obsession— hint: it involves trick shots and hustling people. We also learn how much mouse pee costs when it wanders into a vehicle. The guys also get into Joe Rogan’s new studio, the lighting, camera settings, and background. It’s a fun one!

The ultimate behind the scenes conversation between Matti and Pete. They talk about hair styles, them buying their favorite vehicles (and Ford not giving Peter a truck), and eventually talk about Jon Olsson surfing with dolphins. They drool over the Bronco commercial bone by Ryan Booth, and break down why it’s so great, where the VFX masks are, and… how Bryan Cranston sold them on the Bronco.

It’s been a while but the guys get behind the mic and debrief the R5 shenanigans. We find out it was made in Pete’s basement - so that may be the issue. Matti gives us graphic detail of his nose fungus, and how he hand held a 5 second open shutter with the R5 for a night shot of the Toronto skyline. The guy’s also discuss the importance of different YouTuber reviews, and also do a little NHL ‘94 talk.

The guys hit to Twitter for fan Q&A to see what your burning questions are! What do the guys think of the new Mac Pro? What are their favorite foods? What is the best cinematic show on TV right now? Are they egomaniacs now with their YouTube “fame”? What do Matti and Pete’s dog have in common? ALL OF THE BURNING QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Oh, and not to worry - the guys go on many tangents with most questions too.

The guys get into the trials and tribulations of running a YouTube channel, and what the road has been like for them the last three years since starting their channels. A look under the hood - hint: more white hair for Pete!
Matti, although proud of his channel, explains how he can’t point to a specific video to really show what he does and Pete shares what he was thinking as his first video ‘8 Camera Hacks in 90 seconds’ was approaching 100,000 views! The guys also share where they see their channel’s will go in the future.

The guys are back in the podcast studio and explain where they’ve been. Matti shares a breakdown of his daily vlogging experience and then on the other end of the spectrum, Pete shares about his deep dive into long form, larger production videos. Pete also shares why his office is taking so long!
Lastly the guys go off on a long tangent about the Cybertruck - Matti seems to be pro Cybertruck and Pete, well, has opinions on it! It’s good to be back!

YouTube “Creator on the Rise” Ryan Savin of Little King Goods drops by the podcast studios to discuss his rapidly growing YouTube channel that showcases how he makes his leather goods. The guys talk about how he stumbled into the ASMR genre, and how Matti loves telemarketing calls as a result. Yes - you didn’t read that wrong!
From almost quitting leather goods altogether, to now wondering how to manage all his leather good orders, Ryan and the guys discuss the impact YouTube has had on their businesses and why it is better than instagram. Ryan also shares what is next for his business, and it may involve coffee, whisky, and more microphones!

Follow Jesse Driftwood: http://instagram.com/jessedriftwood YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PMbasementshow/feature Jesse Driftwood joins the guys as the first guest ever! We quickly learn about “Classic Jesse” and what that all entails - from dumpster diving, to living in a van with hitchhikers named Papi, to accidentally deleting footage. The guys reminisce on their wedding filming and photography days, and why they’re glad they don’t do it anymore. Oh, and Matti almost leaves the podcast when he hears Jesse’s camera settings.

Thanks Epidemic Sound: http://share.epidemicsound.com/themattiandpeteshow The guys discuss Pete’s recent haircut and what that means for reactions by his subscribers. They do their best to breakdown the psychology of online trolls, and how they handle negative comments. They then talk about what goes into making a good documentary— as Pete is getting into his Angels & Airwaves documentary and Matti releasing his mini-doc, Being Jesse. And although it’s late, the guys discuss the finale of Game of Thrones and the drama of Pete trying to watch the last episode— and spoiling it for himself! GOT Spoilers: 34:28 - 43:48 Special Thanks / Credits Show Photo - @alenpalander Audio Guidance - @itsryanfreeman Producer - @tylerrichardwells
The guys jump right into the recent changes of Instagram removing the ability for others to see your likes... in Canada only! We’re getting bullied! They dig into what these means for them as “influencers” and how it may or may not affect their relationships with brands, and also how this could be a good thing for society as a whole. They then dig into the worst cell phone etiquette imaginable... like texting in the middle of the Podcast. And also recount the most blatant (but hilarious) product placements they’ve seen on films, and their experience with working with brands for their own audience. No GOT spoilers in this episode! Special Thanks / Credits Show Photo - @alenpalander Audio Guidance - @itsryanfreeman Producer - @tylerrichardwells
In this very first episode of The Matti & Pete Show, the guys describe their hopes and dreams of what this podcast will be. They also address them breaking up… from their office space and what that means for their channels.
They share their concern of now being the “old guys” in the film/photography space. And we learn how Pete did 10 weeks of stand up comedy - and was horrible - but how that has made him a better entertainer on YouTube. Lastly, the guys do an episode 3 cinematic breakdown of Game of Thrones - there are spoilers in this, so be warned!
