We’ve got a good yarn for you today! We left our cameras at home and ended up on a classic Chris Nicholas adventure, repeatedly thinking, "This would have made an amazing video." What started as a relaxing spa and sandwich vacation quickly turned into an epic adventure when we found ourselves on a houseboat on Lake Powell. After a windstorm hit, we were unanchored from the beach, adrift in the dark at 11 PM, with a capsized jet ski.

In this special after-show edition of the pod, we dive deep into our land project, answering questions like: What inspired us to start a campsite? Will we build a pizza oven? How do we handle bugs? Are we constructing a cabin? Plus, we discuss how analysis paralysis affects every step of our journey. Join us for a relatively unfiltered and uncut brainstorm session!

Fresh from returning from the official Robinson Helicopter Safety course, we've got some NUGGETS to share – well, Becki picked up nuggets, while it was all review for Chris. We're diving deep into helicopter safety, recounting the time we almost got cancelled on Reddit for landing the damn helicopter, demystifying Becki's boogeyman, and Chris spills the beans on overhaul finish details.

In our last few episodes, we had some deeper conversations about being a content creator and the projects we’re working on, but now it's time to lighten the mood with a special edition of 'That's Friggin Deadly'! We explore our favorite things in an entire episode dedicated to what's been catching our attention lately. Chris unveils his ultimate steak recipe straight from the grill, sharing his passion for Kamado-style BBQs. Meanwhile, Becki delves into her top picks for travel shows and documentaries, and shares insights into her current 'Inspiration Sponge Soak Up Mode', discussing the ebb and flow of creativity.

After we had a super niche video pop off on our YouTube channel, we got to thinking about how following a 1/10 video can lead you into making niche videos you never intended to be in in the first place. This led us to our assumptions on why people might be quitting YouTube, a theory which also seemed from our dread of making video podcasts.

We also break down the blessing and curse that is having a joint YouTube channel where one person is a full time creator and the other has a 'normal' day job."

Introducing our new campsite build series, Sleepy Creek! We're discussing the developments on the land we've purchased (spoiler alert: we're building a campsite). We received some playful criticism for sharing a video about clearing our land, and it turns out the "brush hog" vlog became a meme in our relationship. Chris and I delve into how the Sleepy Creek series will differ from The Home Reno series and why we've chosen to present this one in a vlog style rather than a polished show.

As a creator looking out, everyone seems to have their shit together. We reached out to find out what you would like us to discuss, and this question came up: 'Can you talk about burnout and the creative process, the failures behind the scenes that no one sees?' It just so happens that we recently experienced a major fail behind the scenes during our first-ever overland trip. We break down what happened and why in this episode. Becki also discusses what feels like a personal failure in her relationship with photography.

We're recording from a 2-day lake-effect snowstorm, which looks CRAZY on Foreflight! Looking at the storm on radar brings us to today's podcast topic: what’s going on with the Millennial Falcon? Well… we got quite the jarring photo from Robinson of the current state of our bird, so let’s discuss.

Chris answers the question, “why overhaul instead of buying new?” He breaks down helicopter economics and how the overhaul is more like a back-to-studs home renovation than getting your car's oil changed. He reflects on his “pipe dream” of owning and flying helicopters, breaks down why we went to Robinson for the overhaul, and talks about how we ended up with the unicorn aircraft from a hog hunting outfit in Texas.

This is the BLUEBIRD Aftershow edition! Join us as we dive into the behind-the-scenes (BTS) of the production side of our latest film. We discuss why we held onto footage for almost a year (and rest assured, it wasn’t due to slacking off)! We break down our thought process on character development and explore how pulling on a story thread can lead to a more interesting video. Later, we delve into the importance of open communication and a strong group dynamic, highlighting how these elements make a huge difference during trips like this!
