good morning friends welcome to Victoria BC super super excited we got here from
the ferry yesterday hey do you know yeah dude you want to be
in the vlog are we vlogging today? no no I just kind of started tomorrow
maybe for tomorrow it's now 10 o'clock or almost 10 o'clock
yeah and we haven't left the van yet today we have been tip Tap tipping away
had to get a freestyle Friday posted Bec got up and is working on a blog
post and she's made us tea and we had like a little light snack but I've been
nah we're just having a very very chill Friday we've got two computers now which
makes a big difference in our lives yeah and our workflow mm-hmm how was
your sleep? I think it was very good very good - very good I thought we were on a
side street but cars seem to be ripping - this morning better than that like
really good sleep it's interesting because I'm writing this blog post about
does loving the city make us bad bad lifers because I feel like van lifers
are always those hippie conceived to be you know only wanting to be in nature
and not liking cities but something about all of our time spent in cities
has really trained us to sleep just about anywhere it's sure the last night
we were probably sleeping in on a loud Street but because we normally are in
Toronto and sleep next to a highway and construction and all sorts of craziness
this is kind of quiet yeah and I'm usually a pretty well I am
a pretty spoiled sleeper like I need to have I do need two pillows if I don't
have two pillows then I can use a big sweater but I'll need to have something
to like support my body on the side and I need a fan noise so I have like two
different apps on my phone and I listen to fan noises if there's no pants we're
parked up outside Cam's buddy's place Toby and I'm gonna pop in quickly he
said he might be around this morning see if I can just jump on the Wi-Fi and
start uploading Toby hey what's up bro okay so I'm gonna sit here upload this
visitor and then I'll check in with you guys Internet hello that is the creative
process my friend I'm loving this this is great is this good oh my gosh
yeah I suck well execute this morning what I
think makes a man I really unique in this scenario is that we do still work
very full-time we have our company we make content we work with brands to make
content for them so on a morning like today I was really bummed to find out
that everyone had left without us but it is a balance and we need to figure it
out and we're still figuring it out but we thought maybe today we could show you
guys how we balance work and play Wow travelling it'd be a really interesting
vlog to bring you guys along for the day because that's a commonly asked question
what do we do and how do we balance it all and all that kind of stuff
so let's just let's just let's just give our I do need to get changed
it's 10 o'clock the work day began at about 8:00 but ok brunch lunch thanks
what's a Friday without a brunch lunch yes big thanks to chef Fraser
he was our special guest on freestyle Friday this week and whipped up an
amazing tofu scramble actually so good it is really better than mine Heyman's
just reheating the leftover sorry triplets I guess you don't get any
because you're not around so snooze you lose guys snooze you lose you guys want
to learn more about this amazing tofu scramble working oh go babe
this is how you know we're having a busy day as well when we don't even bother
putting on so it's all good it's all good yeah you just relax you know I'll
do the dishes for you and I'll cook and clean these nips in my head where it's
like execute yeah so good Tsongas I remember one of our first nights
together in Cambodia we were in this middle of the street and you had made up
a song about being in the middle of the street do you remember yeah it's such a
bang it was such a banger I got a start like writing writing them down it's
probably one of the moments I fell in love with you most she right neither of
us can sing I know shoot alright so the plants afternoon is
we're gonna go us I'm sassy I'm sensing and obsessing you yeah we're gonna saw
so the cafe so for those of you that are wondering we are we actually own a few
company
so we are super lucky that we've made independent cafes a part of our work
because we love it as part of our life so whenever we go to a new town mainly
in Canada because it gets a little more complicated exporting it into the States
one of the first things we do is check out the cafe culture and it gives us an
excuse to go to the cafes and expect to a tea so we're gonna do that today just
kind of get a feel for what the vibe is talk to the Brisas see what kind of chai
they're using another cool thing is now that we're kind of in our third year of
business there's a little bit less pressure on us to go and close that sale
and if they're not the right cafe then it's not a big deal we just kind of
acknowledge that right away hello not much just filming ourselves
often in Canada we find that important Starbucks still play a huge role in a
major city or a town but even yesterday was sound like I saw some Starbucks but
there weren't so many which means that people really do want
to support local and that's what we're all about - so let's go let's hit the
streets it's check it out we'll bring you guys long
I hope this makes sense I hope the lady walking her dog just to clarify we only
make chai so we specialize in a unique sticky chai and it's used for chai
lattes teas and ice Chai's so we're not looking to like take away the whole tea
business of someone else we're just looking to replace all those concepts
and things that you find in the marketplace lots of business yeah we
want to get rid of concentrates and bring it back to like health and things
that taste good but are really good for you too this is what our packaging for
home looks like little plug for the tea company don't come they get it don't do
that all that often but if you guys are interested in checking out our Thai
company I'll link it below black tea is kaki rooibos is no caffeine even is
getting changed the lady at her house and probably hoping we leave so we
should leave we get a lot of questions about how we're able to work together
and one of the big reasons why we are is because we have very different roles so
I'm the sales guy I'm gonna go in trying to introduce myself to the team and see
what kind of trial they're using Beck's gonna jump in the computer and do the
thousands of things that actually make a business run hey will you try and get a
shot of me pitching the staff
so that's usually what happens when you go into a cafe you ask speak to the
owner the barista for some reason gets like somewhat offended that you're
asking for the owner but what I've learned is if you don't ask for the
owner then you could be wasting your time with the barista that's hot-headed
and just trying to grill you when they have no authority to make any decisions
so pick was a little awkward because after that interaction that I think she
filmed she I went over and was like yo it up and she was like coming home what
are you doing talking I mean so awkward so I guess maybe she had asked the
barista about the charity and then she I don't know I don't know anyway I don't
really care if it's awkward I am going to hit the road I'm going to their
grocery location try and meet the owner and then and then I'm going to hit up
some other cafes and just suss it out and try and get the right contact
information to make sure I'm speaking on the right person mission unsuccessful
did not meet did not me got a new girl name I probably shouldn't have said
those names probably blurp those out okay next spot another cafe another
mission hello sir willing to pick up the hitchhiker this
morning she's as good-looking as you are how'd you go I went I went well ish yeah
which is pretty standard but we've got some cars we've got some emails we've
got some names step one to start I try to tell the vlog about why are the
awkward interaction at the last place we're at well I find it weird when I go
in before you and I ask them about the try to try to like set the tone for you
and then you come in and you're trying to sell them child oh yeah I didn't know
that yeah I'm sitting right there and you come over like I was
sitting right in front of them and then it's like really obvious that that's
what I was doing that's true I'm not actually I am an awkward person I guess
but that situation makes me feel awkward because I just had that conversation so
that makes sense yeah it's all good it seems like it's really cleared up it's a
beautiful sunny day and I would love to do something fun
yeah let's go find something fun to do so here's the fun thing we decided to do
we've met up with the sibs what's up boys we're actually gonna try and pan
cook cookies sure if I'd recommend this maybe if you had a lid that might help
the situation yesterday while we were working these guys discovered this
really awesome Park a and also this little what do you call it like a farm I
hope it's an animal sanctuary anyway they discovered some goats some pigs one
thing you gotta know about Fraser is he's looking to adopt a pig
don't tell dawn but we support so we're gonna go check out the goats and just
have a gate all time let's go see some goats
I'm not like the local yeah yeah just like shops in shit it's kinda cute court
tacos stuffer Oh baby cute Jack for are you salivating on the lips and
it's always very exciting when you see the busiest slot here is the play based
one lined up they're gonna close in like 10 minutes
oh wow taco salad breeds herself Susan we're going in BBQ jackfruit burger was
probably a nine out of ten how's the chicken burger these guys parked in the
same spot as us just across the street and they got a $40 ticket and we got
away scot-free I'm not gonna lie we leave our delivery sign in the window at
all times and I think that saves our ass a lot so shout out to the ticket man for
the last-minute pass appreciate everybody seems like they're
gonna shower and head out I'm not sure what the night holds for us but I think
we're gonna wrap up today's video here in the event that we just end up in bed
or we do go out and maybe we can just get a little crazy
highly unlikely very unlikely have you guys ever heard of the term fobbing I
was falling in the background it's when you're sitting around with friends and
they just pick up their phones and start bobbing whoa did we tell the vlog yet
