welcome everyone Adam the woo here it's
0:05
my second channel daily blog channel
0:07
it's the daily woo and what is the daily
0:10
woo it's an everyday unedited Vlog that
0:13
I put out onto the interwebs on this
0:16
wonderful thing called YouTube and it's
0:18
very interesting because two days ago or
0:19
a day ago I actually accomplished
0:23
20,000 subscribers on this daily woo
0:26
Channel saying it blows my mind the
0:30
reason this daily woo channel was
0:31
created was as a secondary a second
0:34
channel daily Vlog Channel if you will
0:36
to my main channel the adom the woo
0:38
Channel and that's what we're going to
0:39
talk about because this daily woo
0:41
channel was created not only to show you
0:44
wonderful things unedited everyday Vlogs
0:48
wonderful things but was also created to
0:51
give you a more personal aspect than
0:54
just the Adam the woo Channel a more
0:56
heartfelt everyday occurrence of what
0:59
I'm feeling people I meet people I want
1:01
you to meet people that influence my
1:05
life and wonderful feelings that I have
1:07
on a daily basis that maybe I want to
1:09
present to you that really cannot be
1:11
presented in a once a week edited main
1:15
Channel video so that's why I started
1:17
the daily woo
1:19
Channel we're not going to talk about
1:21
the daily woo Channel though we're
1:22
talking about the Adam the woo Channel
1:24
some people might say why are you
1:25
talking about your Adam the woo channel
1:27
on The Daily woo Channel spoiler alert
1:30
it's the same guy me the daily woo Adam
1:32
the woo the daily woo see what I did
1:35
there is the same person in fact you
1:38
probably heard of or came over to this
1:40
channel started off because of the Adam
1:43
the woo channel
1:45
so I have a very special announcement
1:48
that you may have already known I posted
1:50
something on Facebook last night when it
1:51
hit the exact moment I wanted to
1:54
document it with a screenshot the Adam
1:56
the woo Channel drum roll please I'm not
2:00
gonna do it you do the drum
2:02
roll has hit drum
2:05
roll
2:07
100
2:09
100,000
2:17
subscribers what is going on here
2:17
100,000 people have made the conscious
2:21
effort I can't add them I can't go to
2:25
your YouTube page and add you as a
2:28
friend I can't add you I can't spam your
2:31
accounts to try to get you to gain
2:34
interest in me 100,000 people have
2:37
consciously made the
2:40
decision to follow in my travels and my
2:44
Adventures this channel you're watching
2:46
the daily Woo is an everyday Vlog like I
2:48
was saying it has not reached that
2:50
Pinnacle maybe it will one day hopefully
2:53
it will but the Adam the woo channel has
2:56
reached a
2:58
plateau a very awesome Plateau no matter
3:01
how you break it down 100,000
3:04
subscribers 100,000 people if there were
3:06
100,000 people out here you would not
3:09
see an inch of ground you would see no
3:12
grass all you would see was people and
3:16
that absolutely blows my mind why am I
3:18
standing out here well I'm kind of like
3:21
remembering reminiscing if you will
3:23
because the very first Adventure video
3:26
which is the second video on my channel
3:28
the first video was kind of
3:30
jokey video I did with some friends
3:32
called The Happy Halloween bearded man I
3:33
had a big beard
3:35
then and the second video was when I
3:38
started my quote unquote on the adom of
3:40
the woo Channel my adventure video
3:43
series which has turned into
3:46
abandonments movie locations roadside
3:49
attractions theme parks anything I can
3:53
do that's not inside a house sitting on
3:55
a couch sitting in an office me out in
3:58
the world is is an adventure and people
4:02
I guess
4:04
obviously have caught on to this
4:07
adventure mentality that I have put out
4:10
there and it all started right here in
4:12
my second video which was the start of
4:14
my adventuring YouTube career if you
4:17
will and it started prepare yourself now
4:21
sh at the s cloud Sugar Mill which is
4:25
right there and there's actually a woman
4:28
down there with her dog they've been
4:29
playing catch the whole time I've been
4:31
talking I've been watching in my
4:32
peripheral
4:33
vision this person and their dog playing
4:36
catch a frolicking dog having his own
4:39
adventures and that dog probably does
4:41
not realize that right here was where it
4:45
all
4:46
began the Adam the woo Channel
4:51
Adventures I've actually done a couple
4:53
Vlogs reminiscing back here at other
4:56
pastimes there's really no sense of me
4:58
walking up there and showing you that
4:59
plus it's very sunny even though it's
5:01
very close to Christmas only a couple
5:02
days till Christmas it's very warm here
5:05
in Florida supposed to be getting a cold
5:08
front I know people up north are
5:09
probably saying you do not know cold I
5:12
know cold I've traveled all over the us
5:13
but right now I am not in the cold I am
5:16
in the
5:17
warmth well the warmth is out there I'm
5:19
in the shade so look from
5:22
afar or just dig up my old video me and
5:26
my buddy Cody trouncing down this road
5:30
explaining a little bit of the backstory
5:31
and the history of the St Cloud Sugar
5:35
Mill gosh that was probably about four
5:38
years ago I had no subscribers I think
5:40
about 10 people watched the original
5:48
video basically how it worked was on the
5:48
Adam the woo Channel started filming
5:50
videos like this and then I started
5:52
going up and down Highway 192 in CMI
5:55
showing a lot of the abandonments a lot
5:57
of them are bulldozed and gone now so I
5:59
was documenting a little bit of History
6:01
showing some wonderful things I did the
6:03
original Hard Rock Cafe at Universal
6:06
Studios before CityWalk in Florida in
6:09
Orlando it's now bulldozed and torn down
6:11
I did that video I got a couple views on
6:13
that I remember thinking I got a 100
6:16
views absolutely amazing that a 100
6:19
people that I did not know they were not
6:21
friends of mine they were not family
6:23
they were not people that I this is back
6:25
when Myspace was kind of dying Facebook
6:28
was just starting to get popular
6:30
these were people that I did not go over
6:32
to their Myspace page I did not post the
6:35
video on fa on their Facebook wall I did
6:38
not go to their Myspace friends page
6:40
that I was friends with and post it on
6:42
their wall these are people who randomly
6:45
were searching things that they
6:46
remembered Hard Rock Cafe St Cloud
6:49
sugarm Mill River Country at Disney
6:53
things like this I would go around
6:55
Orlando and I filmed a handful 20 30 40
6:58
videos with an old old really cruddy
7:01
camera that I had very grainy quality
7:05
not that this is really topnotch but the
7:07
quality was not that good and I realized
7:09
then a lot of people are big fans of you
7:12
got to do an HD video you need to have
7:14
an HD video camera the best quality ever
7:17
I realized that you could start gaining
7:20
momentum no matter what you film with if
7:23
you have a cell phone an old school cell
7:25
phone that films video you can film
7:28
something and you can put your yourself
7:29
out
7:30
there it's interesting because I've
7:32
actually heard this from people in my
7:34
life who've actually said I don't want
7:36
to start doing this because I do not
7:37
have the
7:39
ability financially to start doing
7:41
something well if you're an artist you
7:44
don't have to have a canvas and really
7:47
nice paints you can just take a pencil a
7:49
number two pencil and a piece of paper
7:51
that cost less than a penny and start to
7:53
draw so if you have that passion anyone
7:55
can do it do not ever let me tell you
7:57
this do not ever Hind hinder yourself
8:00
from doing anything because you do not
8:03
have the right tools anybody I can fix a
8:05
car engine if I twist tight enough with
8:08
the wrong tool eventually that bolt will
8:10
come off be very difficult but
8:12
eventually you will make that happen
8:15
it's like the tortoise and the hair it's
8:18
a very famous story about The Tortoise
8:21
and the hair a lot of people when it
8:22
comes to the tortois in the hair story a
8:24
lot of people associate the video thing
8:27
with that a lot of people want that
8:30
hairlike mentality the speed to the top
8:33
they want that viral video and I kind of
8:37
disagree with that I think you just need
8:38
to put a lot of content out there and
8:40
eventually your whole Channel your
8:43
entire YouTube presence will become
8:48
viral at least that's my opinion in fact
8:50
you see a lot of people who have a viral
8:53
video they'll get a video that gets like
8:54
five six 10 million views and if you
8:57
look at their subscribers and their
8:58
other content they have a very handful
9:00
of subscribers they have a very small
9:03
handful of people who are actually
9:04
interested in their everyday life and
9:07
their other videos their main viral
9:09
video is the massive video I'm going to
9:12
sit down right
9:21
here so it's pretty mind-blowing the
9:21
fact that a
9:23
100,000 subscribers has been
9:26
accomplished I just want to say thank
9:28
you
9:30
I've kind of been battling in my mind
9:31
with this whole presence mentality of
9:35
what has happened 100,000
9:44
subscribers it's really
9:44
amazing when I started doing these
9:46
videos no one was watching them people
9:49
that I know friends people close to
9:52
me there were some people that were
9:54
supportive but let me tell you there
9:55
were some people who did not understand
9:58
it who did not get it I always got the
10:01
same critiques your videos are too long
10:05
if you want to be popular on YouTube you
10:06
need to have videos that are short 2 to
10:08
three minutes well my videos if you
10:10
noticed on the adom the woo Channel and
10:12
the daily woo channel are starting to
10:13
progress this way my videos are anywhere
10:16
from 10 to 15 to 20 minutes long so I
10:18
kind of broke the mold when it came
10:21
to YouTube not
10:24
success when you think of YouTube
10:26
success you think of these big YouTubers
10:27
have millions of subscribers
10:29
I have a mere
10:31
100,000 which is still
10:34
amazing to have that many but when it
10:36
the grand scheme of things 100,000 what
10:38
is that compared to some of these other
10:40
big YouTubers so I don't want to use the
10:42
word YouTube
10:43
success but I guess
10:46
today today I could say is a successful
10:49
day because
10:51
100,000 is no joke so a lot of naysayers
10:55
in the beginning and still a lot of
10:57
naysayers to this day a lot of people
10:59
would say what happens if YouTube ends
11:02
what if there is no YouTube anymore
11:04
what's going to happen when people lose
11:06
interest in what you're doing and that
11:09
might happen maybe people will lose
11:11
interest maybe people will dwindle away
11:14
and there will no be no more Adam the
11:16
woo Adventure videos even though I keep
11:18
making them you never know people might
11:20
lose interest in me and what I'm doing
11:23
but I always had this thought in my mind
11:26
from the beginning my thought was
11:29
there's interesting things in the world
11:30
there's interesting things that I'm
11:32
doing that I'm interested in I'm just
11:35
waiting for the rest of the world
11:39
you to enjoy that as well and I'm happy
11:44
to say that if you're watching this you
11:46
have joined me shall
11:48
you really
11:57
incredible looking back it's a it's
11:57
interesting to think the first road trip
12:00
I
12:01
did I started doing the videos in
12:04
Orlando I was working a
12:07
job I knew with a little bit of the
12:10
interest that actually people were
12:11
developing and what I was doing I hit
12:13
about 100 subscribers I hit two or three
12:15
400
12:16
subscribers which is still amazing when
12:19
you think about it 300 people would be
12:22
interested in my mind I thought I need
12:25
to step this up a notch I need to quit
12:28
my job I need to sell my stuff I've
12:31
already pretty much extinguished
12:33
everything that I could think of in the
12:34
Orlando area I need to travel there was
12:37
things I wanted to see things I wanted
12:38
to do so I sold all the stuff in my
12:42
apartment it was about a 3 or four month
12:45
process selling everything paid my van
12:47
off no more debt saved a little bit of
12:50
money very very little
12:53
money continued working for a little bit
12:55
more van was paid off then I hit the
12:58
road no November 2011 actually it was
13:01
about a week before Halloween so it was
13:03
the very end October 25th 26 20
13:09
2011 I went out on the road with my
13:11
friend
13:13
Ginger she had food stamps I had no
13:16
money we had no gas we were traveling
13:21
around and basically I just asked people
13:24
to help me out that was when I was the
13:25
fuel the woo began I put a PayPal link
13:28
up on my
13:30
website and I can remember
13:33
back we did this five week trip in
13:36
November 2011 traveled around went to
13:40
Six Flags New Orleans went up through
13:43
Mississippi went to
13:45
Memphis went over to Tennessee did Ghost
13:48
Town in the sky did the Land of Oz all
13:50
these videos you probably know they've
13:52
kind of become some of my bigger videos
13:55
and that road trip jump started me I had
13:58
one th000 subscribers when I left on
14:01
that road trip and that I really do
14:03
think that road trip really propelled
14:06
people's interest in me and brought
14:08
people to my channel and really kind of
14:11
jumpstarted the whole thing at the end
14:13
of 2011 so it's been 3 years people
14:16
always ask how long you been making
14:17
videos I have been making videos for
14:19
about four and a half five years but
14:21
really I think my adventure YouTube
14:24
career really has been about 3 years so
14:27
let's say it's about a threee anniv
14:29
even though gosh it was about 4 years 4
14:33
and A2 years ago I did my first video
14:35
out here so I started traveling end of
14:43
2011 and I was texting my buddy Justin
14:43
scard from live fast I poor who I kind
14:47
of twisted his arm a little bit I am not
14:49
the sole reason his channel has
14:52
blossomed into what it is but I like to
14:55
think I helped him kind of jump his you
14:58
YouTube career and I told him just let's
15:00
just do this I'm doing it you do it so I
15:05
was texting with Justin scar last night
15:07
who texted me last night as soon as I
15:08
hit 100,000 subscribers he texted me and
15:11
said congratulations sent me a lot of
15:13
very
15:14
positive heartfelt text back and forth
15:17
for a little
15:19
while well I lost I've actually lost my
15:22
train of thought what was I saying
15:24
texting with him all I can think about
15:26
is this
15:27
100,000 subscribers so it's good to have
15:29
friends who text you positive things I
15:32
don't know what I was saying about
15:32
Justin scar it doesn't
15:35
matter because the fact of the matter is
15:37
that you guys are also very supportive
15:39
and I really appreciate the support that
15:42
you guys give me what was I saying
15:44
texting Justin because when I started
15:47
doing the videos he was one of the ones
15:50
who actually was very supportive saying
15:53
this is awesome I love your videos I
15:55
want to be in your videos and then
15:57
finally I said just make your own videos
15:58
and that's what I'm encouraging you to
15:59
do just make your own videos if you have
16:02
something like I was saying with the
16:03
pencil and the number two piece of paper
16:05
do what you want whether it's doing a
16:07
video whether it's creating something
16:09
whether it's doing music I was in a band
16:12
for a long time I always
16:15
struggled to get anyone to listen to the
16:20
band to come out to shows to make flyers
16:23
it was like pulling teeth to get anyone
16:25
interested and we had a very decent fan
16:27
base a lot of support but it was very
16:30
difficult to get people outside of that
16:32
Circle interested so when the YouTube
16:34
thing
16:37
started it really was something that I
16:39
could latch on to I remember what I was
16:40
going to say now me and Justin were
16:41
texting last night and I texted him back
16:44
and I go it's very interesting man to
16:47
like think
16:49
about the November 2011 trip that I was
16:53
on I only had 1,000 subscribers which is
16:56
still amazing but in the grand scheme of
16:58
than compared to 100,000 it was just the
17:00
beginning so I was just at the start of
17:03
this YouTube thing 1,000 subscribers
17:06
only getting a few views on the
17:09
videos here I am sleeping in a Walmart
17:12
parking lot in the middle of Mississippi
17:15
192° in a 0 degree sleeping bag no money
17:20
just some food stamps that my friend
17:21
Jinger had that we could eat putting
17:24
food in a cooler some Waters some tuna
17:27
fish and some bread
17:30
visiting these locations that no one had
17:32
really been to or no one had really
17:35
documented and I didn't know if people
17:37
were going to be interested I can
17:39
remember laying there in these parking
17:41
lots Walmart parking lot with the
17:43
security wrapping on the door knocking
17:45
on not rapping like a rapper would do
17:48
like vanilla IE style if he's considered
17:50
a rapper but knocking on the door
17:52
telling you can't park here we have to
17:53
go to another place no money no gas
17:57
waiting for that next donation of $20 to
17:59
trickle
18:02
in it's amazing to see how far it has
18:06
come and it brings it brings a little
18:08
tear to my eye I'm not going to
18:10
lie brings a little tear to my eye to
18:12
think back to those
18:15
days when very few people were
18:18
interested and the cool thing is the
18:19
people that were interested then the few
18:21
people who helped me out then are still
18:23
watching the videos and still an
18:25
intrical part of this Adam the woo
18:29
thing this daily woo whatever it
18:32
is and I a special thank a special shout
18:35
out to all you guys there's a handful of
18:36
five or 10 of you
18:38
guys who've been here since the
18:40
beginning and I really appreciate all
18:43

upon my stuff and you liked it enough to
19:32
subscribe and that from the bottom of my
19:35
heart that means the absolute world to
19:37
me my life has changed dramatically in
19:40
the last three years and this is only
19:42
the beginning this is only the start
19:45
trust me there's a lot of plans post
19:47
Christmas and into next year and the
19:50
following years this has only just begun
19:53
just like the song says I can't remember
19:54
who sang that song it does not matter
19:57
we've only just begun and I say we
20:00
because you are a part of this it's not
20:03
just me yes I put videos out because I
20:06
like looking back on it as a diary but
20:09
not only with the donations and the
20:11
purchasing the t-shirts all that stuff
20:13
the fueling the woo if you
20:16
will you also fuel Me by leaving
20:19
comments sending me emails posting
20:22
things on Facebook and when I meet you
20:25
in
20:26
person the things that you say the
20:28
inspiration there's a lot of people
20:32
who have followed me for a long time a
20:35
lot of people that I've
20:37
met and there are a lot of people who
20:40
can't go out and do what I do so I feel
20:42
like I have a responsibility to go out
20:44
and show people stuff show people things
20:47
basic things that most people forget
20:49
most people are stuck hey I'm watching
20:52
TV I'm going out shopping I'm going to
20:54
work that's my day and I think honestly
20:57
it's my my responsibility now at this
21:00
point to continue on continue showing
21:04
people the wonderful things of the
21:12
world it's very it's saddening because
21:12
there are people who I have met in the
21:14
past who were very supportive of me and
21:17
very helpful in my
21:19
travels and some of those people have
21:21
actually passed on and passed
21:24
away and it's very it's a very sad thing
21:28
but at the same time those people made
21:30
it very evidently clear that I made a
21:33
difference in their life
21:34
entertainmentwise and maybe even a
21:36
little bit farther than
21:39
entertainment entertainment can only go
21:41
so far but when you get to the point of
21:43
a personal level a heart-to-heart a
21:46
kinship if you will I've always said
21:48
that I do not like the word fans you
21:50
will never hear never ever hear me say I
21:53
have 100,000 fans I do not agree with
21:57
that mentality you are my friends
21:59
vicariously or my extended
22:03
family
22:05
granted there's a fine line there
22:08
between all those things but I just
22:11
don't think it's right for YouTubers in
22:13
general to call people that watch them
22:16
fans if you want to call yourself that
22:18
that's awesome but I will never refer to
22:20
you as that I love meeting people I love
22:23
replying to people there are some haters
22:27
I've definitely had a lot of haters
22:29
there were some times when I thought
22:31
maybe I shouldn't be doing this the hate
22:33
the hate is very strong in this
22:36
one and there was a point when I
22:39
actually considered not doing it because
22:41
of the amount of haters some of the
22:43
threats that I got from some people it's
22:46
very interesting how
22:49
people they just hate but it's reached
22:52
the point now no matter what the amount
22:54
of haters
22:56
areund
22:59
100,000 strong we are 100,000 strong on
23:03
the Adam of the woo Channel 20,000
23:05
strong on this daily woo Channel you
23:08
have given me two of the greatest
23:10
Christmas presents at the end of
23:13
2014 that I could ever ask for and
23:16
here's to the new year coming up soon
23:18
Christmas and then New Year's I will not
23:21
let you down I have a lot of Adventure
23:24
videos in mind that I will be presenting
23:26

23:30
this because that would have been
23:32
awkward I love you guys
