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!

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

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.

Ep18 // The SECRETS behind Pete’s Pirate Life

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.

Ep17 // Our FIRST travel experience in over a YEAR was… interesting

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!

Ep16 // Are Tutorials DEAD?! Our channels have changed…

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!

Ep15 // Pete is getting RID of ALL his CAMERAS

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.
