taking time to slow down 

thanks everyone for the support 🤍

Keep it up with the weekly vlogs! Personally, I want to get a little view on your life and how things are for you guys. If it is a chill vlog, where nothing spectacular happens I am happy and calm down a little-which is a very good thing, in my opinion. It is quite fun to watch other people living as lazy and having kind of the same thoughts about life (and in this case being somehow “boring”) as you do. I love your content-no matter if it is going to be about you guys staying at home, working, or doing something you have never done before.

If you need to take a break you should! But I don't watch the vlogs to see you do activities, I watch them because it feels like I'm catching up with a friend so don't feel pressured to have to do something new every week 👍🏼

Okay I'm not a totally faithful every week watcher, but I would say what I most enjoy about your channel is exactly the sort of everyday life activities living in Vancouver. It's such a great city, Just seeing you guys walk around with Jasper, make great coffee, seeing some of the beautiful residential architecture and gardens, seeing the water and the skyline, grabbing food, those are things I enjoy. I'm not a fan of sandals and socks however.... If you need inspiration, I have to say that Vancouver is such an architecturally inspired City that I personally would love to see some walking tours that showcase some of the signature skyscrapers and other modern architecture, as well as more walks through those historic neighborhoods with the beautiful houses and gardens. Also not sure if you've gone through Stanley Park in the past but I will look!

i mean, i really love your content even when is just sitting and chatting around some topic. i don't have this urge for excitement things and i would miss the sunday vlogs. however i do know that is easier for me just to watch than for you to make it. feel yourself and keep it up with whatever its good for you. i dont mind since your happy and i will continue to support you. love u guys and nice work making friends yaaa!

I love your weekly, simple feel vlogs! I don’t think it’s repetitive at all, I actually like that I know what to expect every week :)

You can do whatever works best for you, but I love watching the two of you and don't find it boring.

I am definitely a consistent viewer, and really look forward to Sunday’s because I know you’ll have good content! Even if it’s just going for walks, or for lunch like this vlog. Many of us enjoy the simplicity and realistic view on your day to day because nobodies every week is expected to be an outing or vacation! Keep it up!

You should make a whole video about your skin journey!! You're really glowing now!!

In all honesty, your vlogs are very relaxing & chill. I appreciate that. You both seem very genuine & sincere, that's something that you don't see often... The low keyness of your vlogs is what I totally appreciate! It's also a plus that you & your Partner share interests, but have your different passions as well! (Love Ryan's channel btw as well!) It's just nice to see a normal, down to earth couple doing their thing & being themselves.

with weekly vlogs we get a new comfort video every week and it’s a big reason why I subbed but if it’s affecting your mental health we’ll understand and adjust to the new upload schedule! love from france xx

You guys could go for a walk on the Seawall every day and I'd love it. Privileged to be invited 'in'. Appreciate how difficult and stressful putting out a regular vlog really is, and how destructive it has been to some others. Do what's best for you and we'll all be happy for you.

Honestly the really chill peaceful vibe is what i favor in your videos, i dont find them unexciting at all.

I like to see your day, the things you do out and at home, what you and Ryan prepare to eat...is good

love ur vibee !

Me and my wife love your weekly vlogs we look forward to seeing you and Ryan vlog every Sunday ☹️💙

Was Waiting for Sunday Thanks for always being so motivated and showing reality Have a Happy Sunday Joe

weekly! we dont see it as boring or repetitive. we have love living vicariously

Love the chill mundane vlogs! It's so peaceful

Please keep up with the weekly vlogs! I tend to watch them during the week on my lunch break, and it makes me feel relaxed before returning to work. Love your vids!

Weekly vlogs are relaxing which is exactly why I like it.

I love watching your videos while working because it calms me and I love your aesthetic!

Love the weekly updates! Even if you feel they’re not varied enough at least I feel that that isn’t an issue. Love the insights of your life. Just keep it up and if you ever feel you have energy or something extra is happening in your life, make an additional bonus vlog about it, it would be appreciated 🙏🏼 Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️

I love your weekly vlogs. I also like the idea of taking a week off and doing every other because sometimes it can be a bit of the same.

I really enjoy your weekly vlogs, even if it's just everyday "boring" stuff. It is an inspiration and reminder to live life being less shiddy, work hard but stay chill, and appreciate the small things. However, I think if this thought has already crept into your mind, you should listen to your gut feeling and there is nothing to lose in trying a new format. I'm sure that your other loyal viewers would not get offended either and we'll be here to support you on your journey whatever your decision is✌

You do whatever it is, Joe, that makes you happier and for Ryan. I would certainly miss the weekly content ( I actually want more. lol) as you are part of my Sunday regime and I always feel calmer and get great comfort from your vlogs. But, in the end, you do you, Boo and we'll be happy. Hugs from Sacramento.

Slow down...just take us along for the things you really want to do. When we feel we have to do things just to please others...no - don't go there!

I really appreciate the consistency and the natural authenticity to your vlogs, honestly and especially the day to day stuff. I feel like I can sense the flow though the camera and it’s so calming! Whatever you’re doing now or whatever you want to do, I would definitely support! Thanks for the calming content man!

Your vlogs are not boring to me. Love the weekly vlogs. 😊

I'm on the team that likes when you make those chill/"boring" vlogs. Part of the appeal of visiting the channel weekly is that, sometimes, we get to live vicariously through you and get to see your great adventures, and the other times we get to kinda just relax with you guys. It's a very human mix of the lazy days and the fun ones haha.

Always happy to see a new vid from you, so this format is great as far as I'm concerned ! That being said, yo do you. If this format doesn't fit your schedule or goals, then there are other options. No stress, no pressure, just have fun with it :)

If taking a break helps with the creativity, then take a break and figure out where you want it to go or what content you want to put out. You are my comfort channel and literally if you just posted videos of just you, Ryan and jasper taking walks, I will still watch. Do what you feel is good for you and that you are happy with.

You do you Joe, whatever makes you comfortable and happy would make your viewers happy too. The content for your videos may be repetitive but honestly thats exactly what I find that comforting..I also like the fact that you have not changed much as a person because unfortunately that’s what happens when people are put into spotlight..They stop being genuine, their ego gets inflated, they also stop being satisfied and happy with little things like finding good coffee or the weather being sunny..I honestly hate that..I prefer honesty over crazy challenges or forced content..

I personally love to watch the day to day stuff you all do because it’s so comforting to see but also do whatever you feel is right, we will all be here regardless 👌🏼

joe, i love your videos and content. do what you gives you fulfillment or don’t, either way you’ve given so much and i’ll continue to watch♥️

I enjoy your vlogs and would be grateful for whatever you choose to do

Do what you like Don't overthink Great video

Great week vlog! Nothing wrong with skipping a Sunday every once in awhile, it keeps the vlogs exciting! And if you had a busy week you can always make an extra Wednesday vlog! Cheers

Love the videos Joe. And adding my two cents. Taking breaks are important in any line of work. Burn out is a real thing especially if you feel like your doing something repetitive. Looking at this from outside, what's going to hurt more, taking a break now, or losing passion for the thing you like doing later. Second, you don't have to feel guilty for take breaks. I'm sure your parents put in all the hard work and long hours so that you can have better opportunities and a better life. If you are living that life now, I don't think it's something to feel guilty about. Lastly, the constant feeling of needing to be busy, or working is something that is a culture thing wether it's here in the Americas. Some European countries have a culture where work is work and when it's done know one thinks about it again till the next day. We live in a society that looks down on people both in media and social media that see people not working as lazy, and shame people for not have 20 business meetings a day and it's really impacts every generation. If at all maybe looking into some therapy, to see where these negative emotions are building up from. Talking about burn out or even guilty can help elevate some of those emotions and it's always good to get another's person point of view.

I found your channel in May when I was stuck at home with covid, and I binged your entire channel over the week I was sick. It helped me feel so ready to go out and live my best life and do fun little things day to day to improve my routine and I can’t thank you enough for it. If you need a break from weekly vlogs absolutely do it, do whatever is best for your life! I love watching the content you make every week and the vibes of the day to day you guys show us and would love that no matter your posting schedule! :)

i love watching your videos💚 you know this feeling when you know that this video gonna be 13 minutes of enjoynment

As someone who has been to Vancouver twice I like your vlogs and you showing the city off. Maybe you could do a weekly "What's new in Vancouver" vlog where you show things that the news wouldn't necessarily report on, that you find interesting. For example, new shops, new environmental projects, new restaurants, new Skytrain/transit stuff, new gyms/workout classes etc?

It is crazy that I have only just discovered you! But better late than never. I like really chilled mundane vlogs like this one, they are my favourite types of vlogs ever. Personally the more planned out / planed eventful vlog loose me after a while as I like to see candid moments when consuming vlog content. Don't get me wrong I love exciting adventures, I'm saying this to say don't feel pressured to be "exciting" all the times. Most vlog viewers like myself sometimes just like something that sounds like a podcast to watch or play in the background occasionally. Never the less, whatever you decide that's best for you, I've just joined that gang and I'm here for the ride.

Joe..thank you .always love your weekly vlogs with Ryan and Jasper..and great to meet Jaspers doggy friends. Also enjoy your walks, meals and work outs. Keep up the great work please. Nice that you and Ryan and Jasper can have some time out to enjoy life. Love you all ..xxx😍😍🤗

Honestly enjoy the simpler moments and activities you do in your vlogs too. It's relaxing to watch

I watch your videos religiously. You put out great content. I love the simple living realistic day to day things you do. Like you, I also like routine and structure. That being said, you do what you feel is best for you. Taking a break isn’t a bad idea. I’m sure it is stressful coming up with ideas, planning your day, and spending hours editing. Not to mention all of that on top of your clothing line. I’m definitely a consistent viewer of your channel. Take care of you and your family! ❤️

Joe! We like redundant. You’re never boring. Always fun and inspiring to walk with you on your journey. Keep on the vlogs and everything else. PS: i love Vancouver since the very first time when my parents took me there when I was 12 or 13. I’ve flown a few times since and it’s definitely one of my all time favorite city in Canada and on my top 20 all over the world. Might go in winter or the spring for a month or two.

I feel so calm and more productive during the day after watching ur videos!! Thank you for making them❤🌊

You dont have to be exciting, just be yourself! We like you 😊

I wouldn’t have thought being a content creator was an ‘easy job. Sometimes we all need to take a break from life. Do what your heart tells you to do…look forward to the next vlog whenever that may be ( I’m subscribed so I won’t miss it!) ….have you read 4000 weeks by Oliver Burkeman?

I found your channel thru a random ig story rec almost four years ago and have enjoyed just the general vibe of your blogs, whether they were at home based or on the go. A biweekly or monthly vlog would be cool to try out for some time, especially it winds up being all of their combined time stamps! Burn out is real so definitely take whatever breaks you need but just know what you may consider bland or boring is interesting since we don’t exactly experience 24/7 with you (not that we should!!) as you so wonderfully said

I love to watch Ryan cooking as he is a great chef and has great cooking ideas. Taking a week off from time to time is not a big deal. Still tons of things to show around Vancouver and BC. It does not need to revolve around yourself. Also, where are you at on your clothing line? Just some ideas.

I like what you create. Whatever your energy is I love what you do.

4:59 You could literally sit in front of the camera and watch Netflix and I would be like oh this is so comforting 😂

The hydrangea were amazing. I love it when American Southern gay boys say hydrangea. ❤🏳‍🌈

Love your content. Take all the time you need, Joe. This is free content for us viewers and we are just here being grateful for you to share your lifestyle and tips on being less shiddy. Fan from 🇸🇬

Another Sunday watching new video. I was waiting for it 👏❤️

I appreciate the weekly vlogs as it is a comfort to see the everyday. Too many channels are all about the "dlex" and it is not a fun watch. To see your consistency is inspiring. It also shows that everything takes time. One last thought: Always do what is best for you. What works best for you has to be a big consideration. Thanks for the video

Just echoing other commenters in saying that I really enjoy your vlogs no matter the content~ They've become a part of my Sunday morning ritual, and it just feels like I'm catching up with a friend. That being said, I think you should enjoy the content that you're putting out. And if less frequent uploads is part of that process, then I think you should give it a whirl! You can always ramp things back up if you don't feel like it's working out.

i think u could try once every 2 weeks and see if it works. maybe if u ve got a video that s on the longer side then split in two.

Don't force urself to do things. I personally love ur vlogs regardless of what it is and it never mattered to me. It honestly helps me escape from my reality and I love whatever u put out.If u need a break then go for it. Ur mental health is very important. Stay strong Joe! U got this!💪🔥🔥❤❤❤

that house with all the flowers is so cool

I can only imagine trying to come up with new content every week. I hear from other bloggers how they have the same challenges. Unless they have a specific topic they vlog about i.e. theater criticism, or food or travel. I find your vlogs entertaining nonetheless because you’re having regular life, as well as being an entrepreneur. I’ve enjoyed watching you go through the process and trying to keep a work/life balance. Now that Ryan isn’t working long days you two have more time together which doesn’t always have to be vlogged. But, I do enjoy the times together, along with Jasper, you do share. Stay well 👍🙏😎

Personally, I like quiet vlogs. Because they are closer to real everyday life (aka my life :). But, I think it's good to listen to yourself, because if you're bored while vlogging, it will affect your mental health.

From one introvert to another, i really do enjoy your videos, even if its not “exciting“. I like watching Jasper, you two’s cute interaction, and the city in general.

Your vibe and street credibility aren't non-stop thrills and excitement all day and night long. Stick with who you are, don't underestimate the power of your personality, and maintain the discipline of weekly drops. EDITED: Oh, and not to leave anyone out, don't discount the cameo appearances of Ryan and Jasper.

I personally like the weekly blogs because it's more real. I get so drained mentally watching things where people are moving so fast because I get caught up in the comparison trap and feel like I should be doing more. It's comforting seeing your vids as a reminder that you don't have to be doing something extravagant all the time. That being said, if you need to take a sabbatical to reboot you totally should! We'll be here to support you whatever way you decide 😊

Another amazing video, Joe! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Brazil!

I prefer every week but please take a break to rejuvenate your creativity when needed to avoid burn out. I love your videos 💗

*I love you, Ryan and Jasper. You guys are like family to me; so I enjoy getting together "electronically" with you once a week. The "Less Shiddy" vlogs are encouraging, positive and entertaining without pretense. Content does not have to always be planned . . . it's more real to the viewer when there is an element of surprise. I am not a RU-vidr myself, but I can understand taking breaks when you need to. (I also think the gift of life is about being joyful)*

Love watching your weekly vlogs (even doing "normal" things, because it's refreshing to see folks online just do normal everyday routines), BUT you should definitely take a break for however long if you're feeling burnout/lack of inspiration!

I'm happy either way with your blogs, but I do remember you doing a few pomodoro/work with me/get shit done vlogs and I really enjoyed that format as well!

Your content is always great, and I'm always learning something new whether its about food, fitness, living or just a great new perspective on life :) Keep doing what your doing :) 😍

Joe, it is okay to take a break! However, if you are thinking about spacing your RU-vid videos into an uneven upload routine, realistically, you have to have a strong enough theme for your content. Take the story of two good RU-vidr channels: Tyler and Todd and Steps of 2 Foreigners. Tyler and Todd's channel grew substantially because they made weekly videos that had a strong theme. They took breaks, sure. But they were consistent and it helped their channel grow. Steps of 2 Foreigners' channel uploaded whenever they could upload and usually have good viewership. People come back to their channel because it had a good theme. Both channels had different upload schedules but had the same strength - a good theme. If you struggle to find a good theme, then consistency works better. If you have a good theme for every upload, then you have more capacity to space out your uploads.

Living for Ryan's words of wisdom at the end of the video

His toy goes loll 11:07

Good morning Joe and Ryan and Jasper. I love your Sunday vlogs, I always look forward to them. They are very peaceful and they help me to slow down and be less frantic. Joe. Ryan you're handsome as always and Jasper is the best dog, I just love seeing him every Sunday. Joe, just be happy and do the right thing for you. Your followers will always support you.

your hair looks amazing

I like the content too. I think you could just elaborate more on why you do what you do. For example, I know nothing of wine, so would be good to hear how you determine qualities. Also would be interested to hear your cleaning tips since I also make Sunday my regular cleaning day. I also liked your commentary on matcha and why you choose the lighter version of tonic. That makes a lot of sense, and is really practical advice for us.

I really like the weekly vlogs. As an introvert myself, I know where you are coming from...it's important to slow down. Anyway, I loved this Vlog as usual ❤️❤️

"It's fruity for sure" "JUST LIKE YOU" that made me snort 😭

Honestly even just inserting camera while you guys make and have dinner and having casual convo vid would be fun to watch haha I love your casual vlogs! :)

weekly is good!

Take a break for yourself! Do what feels right for you ❤️

Joe, love your hair. Handsome as always. Hope you and Ryan have a productive and lucrative week. Love you're vlog as always. Sundays are the best part of my week. 💪💪😎😎😁❤️🏳️‍🌈

I feel the same; need motivation some how

No worries…we will always be here for you❤️🥺…if you guys need break you should…do whatever your hearts says you to do….love you guys and always will be🥺❤️

i've been a consistent viewer for years & appreciate all of your content. nonetheless, i'd challenge you to do want you really want, not what makes sense.

I think its understandable that you may want to take a break. I personally like the weekly vlogs even if they are "boring" or "basic". I really enjoy watching other people's lives especially since I like the idea of moving from Victoria to Vancouver or Chilliwack

You can skip a week if it becomes too hard ..don't stress yourself...we love you, we'll support whatever you decide. Stay happy and healthy ❤️❤️

Joe, no worries if you need to take a break. Also, content wise, I enjoy the videos no matter the type of content really. Not even lying, if the whole video is watching you watching paint dry, I don't mind 🤣 Your vlogs tend to be very comfy and I appreciate being able to be in this space!

Would love a podcast every other week

I love your vlogggss

I don't think being a content creator is an 'easy' life. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. It's a career like any other, and like with anything in your life, if your body is telling you to take a break, take a break. Selfishly I would love to see weekly vlogs, but honestly I will tune in whether you keep to your existing schedule or switch it up. I can't imagine your audience going anywhere just because you upload less frequently because you're the beez kneez! I'd rather see you less frequently and happy than more often and burnt out!

no ad skipping since summer 2021 hehe

I love the weekly vlogs, but I also understand needing a break. How about taking a month for now and then a few shorter breaks spread out across the year? Thanks for the great content!

형 영상 너무 좋아요!

Please keep doing the weekly vlogs 😍

I know you like staying at home, but we would definitely like to see more of your city. Especially new restaurants :)

Biweekly vlogs would definitely be okay! Don’t force yourself to go out out your way to entertain us 😄
