The Matti & Pete Show Matti Haapoja & Peter McKinnon

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.

About The Matti & Pete Show
From the Peaks in B.C., to the Switchbacks in Switzerland, to the Dunes in Dubai, Matti Haapoja and Peter McKinnon are two YouTuber’s at the top of their game.

Together they have some of the gnarliest cinematic footage on the platform, but are now putting down their cameras and picking up the mics to talk about their day-to-day as creators, YouTube trends, entrepreneurship, and of course, gear.

Oh yeah, and there will be some sweet interviews with other creators and friends too.

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!
