German in Venice Showed Up at the Scott On Tape Meetup

Summary

Rachel and I headed to the Scott On Tape meetup at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood—though I have to be honest, this was really Wife Appreciation Night. I’m terrible at pushing myself to do things that scare me, and honestly, I only manage to get out and experience these moments because Rachel encourages me. We walked down Hollywood Boulevard past the Chinese Theatre and Jimmy Kimmel, and I spent most of the night doing what I do best: filming the back of people’s heads. Yes, we got the picture with Scott, and he was a good sport about it.

But the real highlight was seeing German in Venice show up unexpectedly. I had a genuine off-camera conversation with him about the video we made when his channel went offline, and I was really glad to keep that moment real and unfiltered. He shared something that meant a lot to me—that he watched our video while in Germany with his mom, and he wanted to thank everyone who watched and shared it when he was offline. Then I got to tell him something that’s been on my mind: the true star of his channel isn’t him—it’s his mom. The pride she shows in his work comes through every time she appears on camera, and people absolutely love seeing her. We also ran into Kurt Crucial from 80’s Life, had some genuine conversations, got recognized by a stranger who heard my voice, and wrapped it all up with Hokey Pokey ice cream by the Jimmy Kimmel Theater. It was a night that reminded me why I value keeping some moments off-camera—sometimes the best connections happen when you’re not worried about recording everything.
