VIDEO: Dear Diary 2 – I Didn’t get The Job

October 7, 201326 Comments

 

Nothing but good things have happened to me since I started making YouTube videos. The latest was an opportunity to interview for the in-game arena host for the Orlando Magic. Crazy right? While I didn’t land the job, just being considered was awesome! Oh and did I mention I got a free car and gas until the end of the year too. NBD.

The mission this month was one of my favorites. I had been wanting to get Bear a makeover for a while because he looked terrible to put it lightly. So when I heard the theme for September was style I immediately knew I wanted to do a custom mission! Luckily, it got approved and Bear is looking fresh to death!

For anyone interested in going to the event I’m hosting, it’s Thursday, October 7, 2013 7:00-10:00pm in Emerson Hall at the University of Florida. 20$ for current students or 30$ for non-students.

The show will be featuring comedian Sean G and stand-up comedian, sketch writer and UF graduate Barry S. Naylor For more info go here: comedy show

***UPDATE*** 10/11/13: The show went well despite the turnout being lower than expected. Met some really cool people! Also, Sean G is hilarious. If you’re reading this…you should book him.

Do you have a special teddy bear or blanket?

VIDEO: Top 100 Things Guys Never Want To Hear

September 22, 201320 Comments

 

This week I decided to come strong with another Top 100 video! The goal is to do a Top 100 video every other week until the end of the year! I definitely plan on doing Top 100 Things Not To Say To Your Parents soon, but what else should I make?

I definitely have to give a huge shoutout to my sister for helping me shoot this whole video and dressing me like a female, although I think she enjoyed it. I’m not even going to lie, this may be the last time I dress up like a girl in a video. I’m getting entirely to good at it…and that is not OK. Also, dressing like a girl in public can get pretty weird really quick. For example, there was a Asian family swimming by the pool when we decided to film there…it was interesting to say the least.

UPDATE: 10/4/13 This video aired on the Today Show! Watch now here: scootermagruder.com/press

VIDEO: Sunday Pedi

September 15, 201320 Comments

 

I’ve decided it’s time to take my YouTube page in a different direction. This video marks the beginning of this transition. In all honesty, I’m tired of vlogging. I’ve said everything I want to say. Now I want to make more professional content. I want to tell stories. Which means a LOT more sketches coming your way! Some series will still stay like Top 100, but for the most part, expect a consistent dose of sketches…even if I’m just Talking To Myself.

Part of the reason for the change is because YouTube channels that focus on a specific niche grow significantly faster than channels that don’t. And right now, my channel is all over the place. But an even bigger reason is because I need to get back to the reason I began YouTube in the first place: to showcase my ACTING ability without compromising my Christian values. With that being said, I hope you enjoy Sunday Pedi: a story of manhood and pedicures.

What do you think about this change?

VIDEO: Top 100 Things Gangsters Don’t Do

September 8, 201323 Comments

 

This week I decided it was finally time to unleash Top 100 Things Gangsters Don’t Do. Making this video was a huge undertaking. It took about a week to edit and shoot and involved MASSIVE collaboration with some other YouTubers. I’m thankful too, because coming up with 100 things gangsters don’t do is not as easy as it sounds. The amount of visuals required alone for this video was insane. A huge thanks to everyone who helped me make this video! Be sure to check out everyone’s page (in order of appearance):
