Last week we published a short film on our YouTube channel called The City That Changed Our Life. We thought it would be fun to do a BTS episode to discuss some of our thought process behind the film and the styling we chose, we chat about some little throwbacks from Vancouver, and discuss some of your comments!

In today’s episode we’re talking about our switch from Canon to Sony, why we switched, and what that switch was like. Chris impersonates camera shutter sounds. We also reached out to you guys on Instagram to see if you had any questions about the switch. We’re answering those juicy questions about the A7R4, bad color science, unusable menus, and if we are going to switch to the EOS R5 when it comes out.

On today’s episode we’re talking about our process when it comes to filming our trips for YouTube. Who does what, how much do we film, how do we figure out what the video will be about, and answer the age old question “does filming yourself in public ever get easier?” We also talk about our first trip back to Vancouver since moving away in 2017 and Becki’s emotional response in the plane. Later, we share a story about our worst trip ever when we stayed in a mouse infested Air Bnb and everything went wrong. We bring back “That’s Friggin’ Deadly” and a new segment we’re calling “Weird Shit We Found On Amazon”.

Today on Tuxedo Time we’re discussing how we got started making internet content through a written blog and what it was like looking for our first home when Chris had ZERO interest in home renovations. We also talk about how you can still be successful without a large audience and share a story about that one time we won an international DIY competition. Topics also include Chris going dumpster diving, cringing at old work, finding your voice online, and we bring back “That’s Friggin’ Deadly”!

Today on the podcast we discuss the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash, why helicopter accidents happen, and talk about how easy it is to spiral when the internet is flashing your worst fears in front of you. Later in the episode we lighten things up with a lost story from Cold Island and share why we ended the series at our last destination and not home in Buffalo. We also play our first round of “Would You Rather” which leads to a story about the time we rode a tandem bike together.

On today’s episode of Tuxedo Time we try and keep the conversations about COVID-19 short. We talk about how we are feeling about the pandemic and what our sanitization process looks like when Chris comes home from the hospital.
We also discuss how talking like a robot helps computers understand your voice better, our favourite chocolate ice cream, and we answered a few questions from Instagram about music, toilet paper rolls, and swearing! We also go on a deep dive on Chris' menswear past! Trying to keep things light during this dark time; we hope this episode brings you a few laughs.
Show Notes:
Today on the podcast we go on a JOURNEY! We talk about the dead mouse that almost burned our house down and the mystery moist morsel that Chris ate off the couch. Becki has a rant about people telling her to switch cameras, and Chris shares his thoughts about switching to PC.
Then, during a polarizing debate, we unpack why Becki doesn't believe in using other peoples presets in photography and discuss how the term “no photoshop” used to get thrown around as often as “not sponsored”.
We got an interesting DM on Instagram that sparked the topic for todays podcast. The question was:
"How do you keep your focus while studying and being a creative? I am currently getting my environmental engineering degree but every single minute I am thinking about something else or writing a script or something else in the creative field. I love what I am studying but can't keep focus at all”.
We discuss this, and how Chris fostered his creative side and moulded his skills in a different way to make him stand out in a non-creative field.
We also answer “How do you stay focused while editing and what does do you wear to stay comfortable?” and give a full on update on what is happening with the house and the renovation.
Show Notes:
Today we’re talking about traditional vs non-traditional jobs. We both discuss our career pathways and the challenges we faced throughout the years. We also chat about how the whole “love what you do and never work a day in your life” is complete BULL SHIT, and Becki shares some VERY strong options about kids wanting to drop out of High School to become photographers.
Later, we have an honest and open discussion on how our roles on social media and our YouTube channel effect our relationship.

In today’s episode of Tuxedo Time, we’re sharing Becki’s American immigration story along with all the details on why we couldn’t monetize our YouTube channel for 2 years and how not monetizing for so long was actually a blessing in disguise.
We also share some insight on how YouTubers make money, discuss working with brands, and give a few tips on how to grow your social media into a business. Lastly, we introduce a new segment called “That’s Friggin' Deadly” where we both discuss something we are really liking at the moment.
