### Others
#### Pokémon

In October 2020, YouTuber Logan Paul opened an entire display of English-language first-generation Pokémon trading cards in a livestream. Papaplatte bought a pack for around 11,000 euros, from which Paul pulled a legendary Charizard. This first-generation card was worth around 65,000 euros at the time.

#### Edeltour

In August 2021, Papaplatte and Dominik Reezmann started a motorhome tour called Edeltour, based on the duo's podcast. During the tour, they crossed Germany, France, Italy and Austria, among others. Every day, they streamed for several hours as they explored the various cities.
The second edition of the Edeltour followed in March 2023, in which the two crossed Scandinavia with their streamer colleague LetsHugo.
The third edition of the Edeltour began at the end of September 2024, this time leading through Southeastern Europe. With the streams from the tour, Papaplatte and Reeze reached an average of 50,000 viewers.

#### Music

Papaplatte is a German rap fan and writes his own songs. In December 2020, he released the song Holzscheit on Spotify together with Dominik Reezmann. At the beginning of 2021, he released the song Daytona Noflex with Danny. After Danny was sentenced to probation for two counts of rape, Papaplatte distanced himself from him and had the joint song removed from all streaming platforms. In July 2021 he released his song Bis zu ihr. In October 2023, Papaplatte and Reeze released the song Alkohol ich liebe dich.

#### Spielesause

In August 2021, Papaplatte, together with Trymacs and Gronkh, organized a livestream event called Spielesause. Since Gamescom was again only held digitally in 2021, the three influencers wanted to convey the "trade fair feeling" through the livestream. They invited many guests from TV and the web for video game sessions and sports tournaments. During the event, up to 115,000 spectators watched simultaneously.

#### Jugendwort des Jahres

In 2021, "papatastisch," which refers to Papaplatte, made it into the top 10 in the Langenscheidt publishing house's vote for the youth word of the year in Germany.
The popularity of the youth word of the year 2023, "goofy," had long been fueled by Papaplatte.

#### Participation in 7 vs. Wild

In 2023, he took part in the third season of the survival reality show 7 vs. Wild as part of a team with Dominik Reezmann. He managed to survive 14 days in the Canadian wilderness.

#### Television apperances

In mid-November 2023, Papaplatte and his viewers solved a number of puzzles posed by Joko and Klaas as part of Joko & Klaas LIVE in order to find out the geocoordinates for a hidden suitcase with the symbolic contents of one million euros. Shortly after the last puzzle was solved, a viewer of the streamer actually found the suitcase, whereupon Papaplatte, whom the finder thanked immediately after the discovery, was also connected to the Late Night Berlin show for a "debriefing".
Teller has since taken part in other television shows hosted by Joko and Klaas, including Das Duell um die Welt and Joko & Klaas gegen ProSieben.
On February 4, 2024, Teller launched his own event called "Motor Games" in cooperation with Joyn.
