German in Venice Showed Up at the Scott On Tape Meetup

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

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.

All the Freakin' Things Invited Me To Their Livestream

Sun, 25 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Rachel and I sat down at the Junkyard to talk about something that’s been on my mind—joining the All the Freakin’ Things livestream on Friday night. I’ll be honest, I went into that chat expecting to get roasted. These guys had made content about me months ago, and I’d just… avoided watching it. It’s one of those things that gets in your head, you know? But what actually happened surprised me in the best way. We talked about the one video of theirs I had seen (a Cris the Girl montage that launched their whole channel), my irrational grudge against the restaurant at the Junkyard, and how the whole experience made me think differently about community in the vlogging space.

Dog Day Afternoon Is Free on YouTube Right Now - Watch It Before It's Gone

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I spent last night watching Dog Day Afternoon for the first time, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I found it the way I used to hunt for movies at the video store back in the day—browsing through YouTube’s free movie section and just picking something that caught my eye. What I ended up with was this 1975 Al Pacino film that’s so much more than just a heist movie. It’s based on a true story, and the deeper I got into it, the more the film pulled me in. Al Pacino delivers this raw, desperate performance that stuck with me long after the credits rolled. While there’s one moment in the middle that didn’t quite land for me, the ending is something else entirely—the kind of ending that makes you sit with the movie for a while after it’s over.

The 80s Movie I Avoided as a Kid - I Finally Watched Labyrinth

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I finally sat down and watched Labyrinth last night, and I have to admit—I’m kicking myself for avoiding it all these years. Back when it came out in 1986, the whole thing just didn’t appeal to me. Goblins, puppets, all that mystical fantasy stuff? Not my jam as a kid. But watching it now, 40 years later, I found myself completely captivated. There’s something about David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly’s performances, combined with the practical effects and earnest 80s filmmaking, that just works. I get into why I think I needed to wait until now to appreciate what Jim Henson created, and honestly, it’s made me rethink some of the other movies I dismissed back then.

Malibu Drive: Why YouTube Comments Mean Everything to Me

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the connections I’m making through this channel, and I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind. While driving out to Malibu to shoot some footage, I got to reflecting on how much the comments and interactions from you all actually mean to me. It’s not just about the numbers or the metrics—it’s about the real people behind those usernames, and I realized I want to know more about you. So I’m putting out an invitation: I want to have actual conversations with the people who are engaging with my content. Whether it’s a video chat, a phone call, or a recorded conversation we can share here on the channel, I’d genuinely love to sit down and talk with you, hear your stories, and let everyone else in our community get to know the awesome people supporting this channel. It’s about building something more meaningful than just a one-way broadcast.

Filming Scenes: My Secret to Overcoming Camera Shy Blocks! #shorts

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’ve discovered something that’s been a total game-changer for my vlogging—the Insta360 GO Ultra. This tiny, magnetic camera is perfect for those moments when I’m too self-conscious to film myself directly, which honestly happens more than I’d like to admit. In this video, I’m setting it up to capture an Amtrak train crossing in Simi Valley, and I’m showing you exactly how this little powerhouse works. The beauty of it is that I can stick it literally anywhere and get unique shots that would be impossible with a traditional camera setup. It takes the pressure off of me being in front of the lens constantly, which means I can focus on actually experiencing the moment instead of worrying about how I look on camera.

Recreating Mann 6 Theatre Magic with AI #shorts

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’ve been thinking a lot about Mann 6 Theatre in Simi Valley lately. It’s one of those places from my past that holds so many memories—those nights catching a movie, the smell of popcorn, the magic of the big screen. So when I realized the theatre is gone, I decided to do something I’ve been wanting to try: I used AI to bring it back to life. By combining old photos I had of the theatre with movie stills and some creative prompting, I was able to generate realistic video footage showing Mann 6 Theatre in its prime. It’s wild how technology can resurrect these pieces of our past, even if just digitally.

We Survived the Scooters. Barely. A Healing Mall Walk.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Rachel and I just had a bit of an adventure at the mall - and I’m happy to say we both survived it! Last week, Rachel had a nasty run-in with a scooter that left her with a broken arm and toe. Talk about a rough time. But she was finally feeling up to leaving the house, so we decided to take a healing mall walk at the Thousand Oaks Mall. Even though our local mall is mostly empty these days, this one still had some stores open, so we decided to check it out. We ended up having a pretty fun time - we found some banned books, judged an arcade, and longed for some candy. But the real highlight was our deep, meaningful conversation about the incredible craftsmanship of our friend Scott’s hair. Seriously, that guy’s hair is a work of art. Anyway, it was just nice to get out and about, even if it was at a slower pace than usual. Recovery looks good on us… well, on Rachel at least. I’m just the cameraman in this scenario!

Summary

I was surprised and touched when my friend Dennis reached out to me after seeing my video about Red Robin. He had just attended the Celebration of Life for our mutual friend Adam the Woo, and felt inspired to connect with me in person. When we finally met up, I learned that Adam’s legacy of kindness and community was still alive and well, bringing people together in unexpected ways. This was more than just a trip for bottomless fries - it was a reminder of the power of human connection and the lasting impact of someone like Adam, who dedicated his life to spreading positivity. I’m grateful to have been part of this small but meaningful Circle of Goodness.

You Can Now Rent The Poltergeist House For Content Creation! #shorts

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’m always excited to see content creators exploring some of the most iconic and legendary filming locations, especially when it comes to classic horror movies. So when I heard that the actual house used in the Poltergeist films was now available to rent on Airbnb, I knew I had to see what kind of content people would produce there. One creator who recently rented the Poltergeist house was Adam the Woo, and he did a really fun and respectful video tour of the property. As a big fan of the Poltergeist franchise, it was awesome to see him recreating some of the classic scenes in the actual house. He had a few friends join him and they goofed around a bit, but they were very mindful of the significance of the location and treated it with care. Watching Adam explore the house and share his enthusiasm for this legendary horror landmark was a real treat for any fan of the genre.

Today was a thrilling day for this Back to the Future fan! After visiting Universal Studios, I stumbled upon a DeLorean model and a Marty McFly hat that instantly brought back all the nostalgia.

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, I had the incredible opportunity to connect with two content creators who have truly inspired me - Adam the Woo and JWWOnTheMove. As a passionate vlogger myself, I’ve long admired their work and the way they’ve built such genuine, engaged communities around their channels. When I saw that Adam and JWW were planning to meet up in Los Angeles, I knew I had to find a way to be there. The chance to witness their meeting in person, and perhaps even say hello, felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. So I packed up my camera gear and headed out, eager to document this special encounter. What unfolded was far more than just a simple meetup. It was an emotional journey filled with shared passions, laughter, and a deeper appreciation for the power of online communities. Seeing the genuine connection between Adam and JWW was truly moving, a reminder that the bonds we form through content and common interests can translate into real-life friendships.

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Celebration of Life event for Adam the Woo in Garden Grove, California. This was truly a surreal experience, not just for me, but for the countless other YouTubers and fans who gathered to honor Adam’s life and legacy.

Visit the REAL 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' Filming Locations! #shorts

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

You know, I’ve always been fascinated by the magic of filmmaking - the way movies can transport us to completely different worlds and realities. So when I heard that the hit movie ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ was filmed right here in LA, I knew I had to check it out for myself. Rachel and I decided to take a little adventure and visit the real-life locations used in the film. First, we headed to the Dumpling House, the charming Japanese restaurant where so much of the movie’s action takes place. It was really cool to see the actual space and imagine the scenes being filmed there. We even got to try some of their delicious dumplings - a must for any ‘Everything Everywhere’ fan! Next, we made our way to the iconic IRS building, which serves as the central hub for the movie’s multiversal hijinks. Walking through the halls and seeing the exact spots where key moments happened was such a surreal experience. I felt like I was stepping right into the movie itself. It was a true behind-the-scenes look at the making of this wild and wonderful film.

ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospital in Los Angeles Saved My Dog's Life! Time to Go Home!

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

We’re headed to the animal hospital in Los Angeles to see whether our dog Wicket is ready to come home. She won’t eat there because she doesn’t like eating where she’s not comfortable, so the staff thought seeing us might help. Traffic on the 405 was horrible, of course. When they brought her out she was shaking like crazy, poor thing. They removed a ginormous stone from her ureter and then bypassed that ureter since they weren’t sure it would work.

KROQ 106.7 on 9/11 with Ralph and Doc #kroq #kevinandbean #losangelesradio

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

When the 9/11 attacks happened, the whole world came to a grinding halt. Traffic was nowhere and the freeways were empty. I decided to drive into work around 8 or 9 in the morning, turned on KROQ, and had no idea what I was going to hear, knowing Kevin and Bean weren’t there. Doc on the Rock had come in to do the news, and Ralph Garman was there for his showbiz beat. The two of them grabbed the microphones and just began talking.

Summary

January 30th was Rachel’s birthday, and we had a lot to celebrate. Not only was she a year older, she’s also cancer-free, which means this is the first of many birthdays to come.

Then we headed to a meetup put on by our favorite station, KROQ 106.7, for the Klein Ally show.

We Won Foo Fighters Tickets! KROQ 106.7, LA Traffic & Dave Grohl's 57th Birthday!

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

What a night! My wife Rachel and I just got back from an awesome Foo Fighters concert at the Kia Forum, and boy do we have a story to tell. It all started when Rachel won us free tickets on the KROQ 106.7 radio station - she’s been on a roll with their ticket giveaways for over a year now. We love the KROQ personalities and have even gotten to chat with a few of them when winning. The drive to the venue was a bit slow going, but we still made it with plenty of time to spare. The Foo Fighters put on an incredible show, complete with birthday celebrations for Dave Grohl. As I looked around, I realized that both Rachel and I are now part of that middle-aged dad crowd at concerts - how the time flies! But we’re still young at heart, and we’re grateful to KROQ for hooking us up with these amazing tickets. Concerts are just more fun when you don’t have to pay for them!
