what is that noise
0:04
welcome everyone Adam the woo here as
0:08
April 2020 has reared its head it is
0:12
finally time I've done these in the past
0:15
but it has been a heck of a lengthy
0:18
timeframe since I have done a Q&A a
0:23
question and an answer question not only
0:29
in person when people see me out and
0:31
about but also comment sections social
0:33
media those are the questions and I will
0:35
provide quite a few answers a little
0:38
disclaimer these are my opinions my
0:41
thoughts and the way I live my life and
0:44
the way things work for me the way my
0:46
gears turn and just kind of how things
0:50
happen and how I feel about things
0:52
currently in a year or two for now I
0:55
might look back on this and things would
0:56
have changed there are plenty of other
0:58
content creators out there that do what
1:01
I do so those questions kind of
1:04
affiliated with that subject matter
1:06
everyone has their own way of doing
1:08
things I have mine others have theirs
1:12
this is all about me I'm inviting you to
1:16
join me shall you do I enjoy and
1:21
encourage being approached in public
1:23
whether it being out and about or at
1:26
theme parks etc etc the answer a hundred
1:31
percent is yes if you see me out and
1:34
about feel free to say hello and have a
1:39
conversation I enjoy meeting people I
1:43
probably will have a camera in my hand
1:46
pointing it at something framing up the
1:47
shot correctly narrating it once I am
1:51
done doing that by all means say hello
1:54
give a little wave give a little hello
1:57
added the woo that seems to be a common
2:01
a common practice as well as a good
2:05
percentage of people the first statement
2:07
they say is I did not realize how tall
2:10
you were I am 6 foot 3
2:13
not a giant by any means by M
2:17
six-foot-three
2:18
the most I would say the most common
2:21
phrase statement that anyone ever says
2:24
when they meet me in person is that one
2:29
definitely another very commonly asked
2:33
question is do I still have my RV is
2:36
Large Marge still in my possession which
2:40
was the name of my motorhome the answer
2:43
is no it's been sold for over a year now
2:49
Oh see now I just get rental cars and
2:53
travel that way kind of works up the
2:56
same price wise on gas finding a place
3:00
to park it I also own a vehicle and it's
3:07
parked back in California but when I
3:08
travel I usually rent cars while the
3:10
idea of an RV look good on paper and
3:14
something I always aspired to have to is
3:16
kind of in the back of my mind for years
3:18
once I did it I realized it really
3:21
didn't make sense for me not saying down
3:25
the road I will not buy another one but
3:28
if I did it would be a smaller version
3:31
it would be once I owned a home and had
3:34
property to park it on and only took it
3:37
out on certain occasions it would not be
3:39
my only residence and my only mode of
3:43
transportation if that makes any sense
3:46
it just for me it didn't really work out
3:49
the way I thought it would because I am
3:51
a go go go go go kind of guy and using
3:55
it as a daily driving vehicle it's hard
3:59
for me to stay put for a long period of
4:01
time that's the best way I can describe
4:02
it where do I currently reside and live
4:07
no it's not here in Florida which is
4:10
where I am at the moment it's in Orange
4:12
County California and I have no plans on
4:16
leaving anytime soon
4:24
I've gone many years where I was
4:24
sleeping in a van and then I of course I
4:27
had a Motorhome it is nice to have a few
4:30
of my personal items and a few things
4:32
that aren't necessarily those that you
4:36
need but just a few items to make you
4:38
feel the comfort of home and those are
4:42
stationed out there there are some ideas
4:46
rummaging around in my head where I want
4:48
to eventually get a homestead buy a
4:52
house and that is ever-changing I'm
4:55
always constantly thinking and looking
4:58
forward to that day but for now at least
5:01
for the next year or two just throwing
5:04
that thinking out loud I'm not going
5:07
anywhere staying out in California this
5:10
is a nice tie-in for the next one will I
5:12
ever go back to doing a lot of abandoned
5:16
location since this structure was the
5:18
spot of my first adventure video the
5:21
answer is no I will not be doing
5:23
abandoned videos anymore I've just kind
5:27
of moved on from that a lot of legal
5:30
issues have kind of sorted and swayed my
5:35
thought process obviously something that
5:37
is opened this open and accessible then
5:40
yes I'll walk up and show the history of
5:43
it but sneaking into places I'm gonna
5:48
leave that for the others my content has
5:50
changed quite a bit since those days in
5:54
all honesty which also leads me into the
5:56
next called a segue if you will are
5:59
certain places that I have been told I
6:02
am not allowed to go into been
6:04
overturned the answer is some have some
6:08
haven't
6:14
looking back on my past I want to use
6:14
the word regrets but there are decisions
6:16
that I made that I would no longer make
6:19
in pipe older semi wiser years I am NOT
6:25
wise but I am I'm a little smarter than
6:29
I used to be they say hindsight is 20/20
6:35
sometimes you just have to just deal
6:37
with consequences sometimes they get
6:40
overturned you can move on with things
6:42
and other times they don't you just
6:45
gotta carry on I would hope the way I
6:49
approach things you know in the last
6:50
year or two you know the way I present
6:53
my videos is an impression of how things
6:57
will continue and how I am now maybe
7:02
that maybe that is evident in the in
7:05
that format why do I not fly the drone
7:08
which I named the majestic anymore well
7:16
the reason is laws and policies have
7:20
changed and I just felt like the time
7:23
was nearing
7:24
oh speaking of there's a bird flying in
7:28
the air that's not my drone I just
7:32
didn't want to have a video pulldown or
7:36
delete it because you never know where
7:39
you can fly those things and it really
7:42
didn't add to the storyline of what I
7:45
was trying to present so I just stopped
7:48
using it am i as g-rated as I appear in
7:53
these videos I don't really know if I
7:55
would say that that is the proper rating
7:58
you could say maybe PG sometimes even
8:00
pg-13 I slip a little bit of little
8:02
humor in there that maybe some of an
8:06
older persuasion would get that younger
8:09
would not however in I am an adult
8:12
occasionally I will a little profanity
8:14
will slip out when I am out and about
8:16
however that is not a common occurrence
8:19
my dad was a minister my mom a
8:22
preacher's wife
8:24
they still to this day never curse so
8:27
that has had an effect on me not saying
8:30
I never do because sometimes you know it
8:34
seeps in in a slip of the tongue but all
8:36
in all kind of how I am in the videos
8:40
maybe I toned it down just a notch so
8:44
what you see is what you get to some
8:46
degree everyone has to put a little bit
8:48
of effort into their content so there is
8:52
that but I'm just me least I think I am
8:57
but I also listen to a lot of punk rock
9:00
a little bit of metal watch rated R
9:06
flicks and love horror films so take
9:13
that as you will would I ever pick up
9:16
the bass guitar again join or start
9:19
another band maybe who knows what the
9:23
future holds every once in a while I
9:24
think about I should go buy a brand new
9:27
instrument of that persuasion pick it up
9:29
take the fingers out start plucking away
9:32
once again and I also think about maybe
9:34
I should put the word out and join an
9:36
already existing band and just do a
9:39
little tour a little couple weeks on the
9:41
road or maybe even get a group of others
9:44
and start a new project that's always in
9:48
the back of my mind it might happen it
9:50
might not happen I used to play in a few
9:53
bands a band called alias Clark here in
9:56
Florida a band called the new threat T&T
9:59
originally called 10 new toes and then I
10:01
joined the band Guttermouth the Southern
10:04
California punk band ended a few years
10:07
and a few tours with them well I ever
10:10
bring the theme song back that I had
10:13
quite some time ago Adam the whoo goes
10:18
on adventures for you he don't even ask
10:20
your mom
10:21
nope not bringing that song back in fact
10:25
I have never used it on this channel the
10:28
daily wu qian
10:29
ever it was always on the atom lu
10:32
original channel plenty of video still
10:35
over there
10:37
it's fun to look back on those days not
10:40
saying I will never upload again over on
10:42
that particular channel however most of
10:46
the interaction and where I spend my
10:48
time and publish things is here on this
10:51
one as well as anything I can film in
10:53
one day from the time the Sun comes up
10:57
in that period before darkness or even a
11:00
24-hour period and I can edit and upload
11:03
it I'll put it here on the daily with
11:04
long projects like the filming locations
11:07
they go cross-country that take me a
11:09
week or two that is obviously not a
11:11
daily video and they will go up over on
11:15
the out in the blue channel so at some
11:17
point I'll do one of those again at some
11:20
point do I have any plans to start
11:22
incorporating overseas travel into the
11:26
constant uploads the answer is no no
11:30
plans to do that not saying I won't at
11:33
some point travel overseas but it will
11:37
not be a heavy rotation of videos here
11:41
certainly there are some locations in
11:44
other countries I would like to see with
11:45
my own eyes I think I have a pretty good
11:49
thing going here the Americana that I
11:52
know and love there's so much still to
11:56
document still to see that is
11:58
ever-changing that I have my sights on
12:01
for cross-country trips and I'm gonna
12:04
stick with that if that makes sense why
12:08
do I not do live streams anymore
12:18
I just don't i purr for the prefer or
12:18
purr for one of those two words this
12:21
format a little bit better and in all
12:29
honesty I feel overwhelmed with the live
12:33
strings when it comes to q and A's I
12:35
kind of like this I have time to think
12:38
about the answers peruse through the
12:41
ones I feel like are important and most
12:44
want to know and the super chats make me
12:49
feel a little uncomfortable as well now
12:52
I know it is a huge way for those who
12:56
watch content creators to support and I
12:58
understand that but you will probably
13:01
notice I rarely will mention the patreon
13:04
which I have not deleted it's still
13:05
there it's probably been over a year
13:07
since I even subtly hinted at that or
13:11
mentioned the t-shirts that I have for
13:15
so I'll even put links to those in the
13:17
description box anymore I just kind of
13:19
feel like if you find it it's there and
13:22
it's good those who know no but I am
13:25
truly thankful to be making a living
13:27
doing what I'm doing just by putting
13:31
videos out there into the world I'm
13:33
surviving that's kind of my thought of
13:37
it I've been back and forth even way
13:40
back in the day when I considered all
13:42
those platforms that I am referring to
13:45
it always for me it just didn't was I
13:47
wasn't comfortable completely
13:49
comfortable with it I wanted to be more
13:52
about the videos because when I started
13:55
I didn't really push those agendas so
13:57
they're there they're there I should
14:00
probably honestly I should maybe hint at
14:03
them a little bit more but that's my
14:06
feeling on it even asking to subscribe
14:09
and give it a big thumbs up I leave to
14:13
the end
14:15
and to try to try to make it not really
14:18
crammed in with the rest of everything I
14:22
haven't got to meet up in quite some
14:24
time and get asked often will you do
14:28
more meetups and I gotta figure a way to
14:33
make them where they they just work
14:36
always feel bad for anyone who is
14:39
waiting a lengthy amount of time
14:41
throughout the course of a day and the
14:44
amount of you know the amount of
14:46
interaction and time to say hello to
14:48
everyone is so limited they have it done
14:52
one in gosh probably a couple of years
14:55
for that reason because it is very
14:58
overwhelming not only for me but for
14:59
everyone that shows up and waits that
15:02
incredible amount of time there has to
15:04
be a better way than how I have done it
15:06
I'm not opposed to it but there has to
15:10
be a but there has to be a good system
15:12
in place and I don't want to charge ever
15:18
nor can you do them at theme parks it's
15:21
not allowed
15:22
it's policy on property but if you see
15:25
me out and about anywhere
15:27
it can't be an organised deal if you see
15:30
me out and about please say hello I
15:33
encourage it why did I stop drinking
15:36
why don't I drink I drank a little while
15:41
for a very short timeframe late early I
15:45
should say early 2000s have not done so
15:49
since 2005 mostly when I started playing
15:52
music in 2002 2003 it was a way for me
15:57
to just feel a little more comfortable
15:59
my other bandmates did so so I said heck
16:02
it I never really drank ever when I was
16:04
growing up until that time period and I
16:07
just felt like it kind of made you a
16:09
little more freeing up on stage I had a
16:13
lot of anxiety when it came to being in
16:15
front of you know crowds playing in
16:16
front of people and that helped once I
16:19
got over that I realized for me it
16:23
didn't really I didn't really crave it I
16:25
didn't really enjoy it I didn't really
16:26
like the way it made me feel
16:29
so to this day it is not something that
16:32
I partake in or do a lot of other people
16:36
see things differently and that is what
16:39
they do I have my way and it's it's very
16:42
interesting that I am never tempted I
16:45
never think about it it never gets into
16:47
my head ever to do so it's just it's
16:53
just out there and on an additional side
16:55
note I have not ever smoked anything
17:00
except for maybe a couple packs of
17:02
cigarettes when I was 18 to try to be
17:04
cool around my co-workers in France but
17:09
don't do anything else either except eat
17:13
poorly and drink some soda
17:21
those are my vices what would I be doing
17:21
if I was not on YouTube doing what I'm
17:26
doing now most likely I would be working
17:28
at a grocery store I worked retail
17:30
pretty 20 20 21 years working a you know
17:37
a nine-to-five well not night if I would
17:39
did work a lot of overnights but
17:40
punching a clock that's what I did
17:42
stocking shelves throwing feed at a feed
17:46
store but a lot of grocery experience I
17:50
also worked in an office supply in the
17:52
store so it would be in retail I would
17:54
probably be cashier or some sort of a
17:58
supervisor or who knows a manager of
18:02
some sort stocking thanks dairy
18:07
associate something of that nature who
18:11
knows that it's really the only the only
18:15
type of job description and experience I
18:17
have other than just holding a camera is
18:21
showing thanks that's it okay there is
18:25
one other thing I can't play bass guitar
18:29
which I mentioned a moment ago so I
18:31
might be in a band touring so there's
18:35
that what have I learned by doing this
18:37
and traveling so much I have learned
18:41
that people are all the same but yet a
18:44
little different in their own ways and
18:50
I've become a lot more open-minded to
18:52
people's beliefs the way they live life
18:55
and letting everyone just do their own
18:58
thing I'm a lot more open-minded than I
19:03
used to be based on those facts
19:28
do I believe in ghosts no I do not
19:28
however I do not not believe in ghosts
19:31
the answer is I have no idea if they
19:35
exist
19:36
I have personally never had an
19:38
experience that I have seen that could
19:43
happen for now I just it's not something
19:47
I think about when I go into a spot it
19:51
doesn't sink into my brain is there any
19:53
activity here are there ghosts here now
19:56
I do love ghost stories and I do love
20:00
the Haunted Mansion and all things
20:03
Halloween but I never shift my thought
20:08
process when I go to a location is this
20:12
place haunted I just don't think that
20:15
way
20:17
what's that do I appear on podcasts and
20:24
interviews on a regular basis the answer
20:27
is negative when it comes to email
20:32
direct messages in a sort of business
20:36
contact that is the most passed question
20:40
above all
20:43
and I feel like it's just something if
20:45
it's something I want to say or
20:46
something I want to present it just
20:49
makes more sense for me to for me to say
20:51
it
20:52
at least at this current time frame I'm
20:57
just not I'm not doing any podcasts I
20:59
also don't promote anything I don't have
21:02
any sponsors there's no underlying
21:04
agenda to anything that ever rears its
21:08
head and anything you see here it's just
21:11
all what I enjoy and what I do why don't
21:15
I try to get on more media lists for
21:20
events that's another topic that is
21:27
always kind of weighs heavy on my mind
21:30
I've always kind of had that punk rock
21:32
mentality the everyman what's it like to
21:35
line up for an event to be in with the
21:39
masses deep in the trenches and I like
21:43
presenting things that way and rarely I
21:47
would say never but it is occasionally
21:50
the media thing will slip in there
21:53
mostly around the Halloween season and
21:57
the reason I kind of bend my my morals
22:01
on that is because sometimes haunted
22:05
houses walkthroughs are not accessible
22:07
to film unless you are given those
22:10
credentials now that being said when it
22:13
comes to normal conventions normal
22:16
events that are taking place in theme
22:18
parks if I can just pay my own way and
22:22
go in and see things without being told
22:27
you can't film this if it is filmer
22:30
Balazs a normal pedestrian and guest:i
22:34
me personally would rather not be on a
22:38
media list that's just my own that's
22:42
just the way I think
22:45
except for the haunt separate haunt
22:47
season cuz I want to go through the
22:49
mazes in film that's that's a big one
22:51
would I ever get married and contemplate
22:55
having kids yes just gotta find the
23:00
right person who could that not only but
23:04
I know holy I could meld with but also
23:08
could deal with me i I'm an extreme
23:13
workaholic
23:14
now I know what you're thinking filming
23:17
yourself and doing videos is not work
23:20
and I would agree with you on some
23:22
aspects of that but I take it to the
23:24
next level anyone can tell you that has
23:28
hung around me while I am doing this
23:31
knows how stressed out I get about every
23:35
frame every shot how the audio is how it
23:38
looks it is a big big part of me add the
23:42
traveling in add the constant thinking
23:44
about what I'm gonna do next in and that
23:47
is a workload in itself even though I'm
23:50
not punching a clock it takes a lot out
23:53
of me and certainly whoever I am with
23:55
that's a guarantee what do I use to
23:58
record on what do I add it on what is my
24:03
upload schedule like and that entire
24:07
process all adequately need to be
24:10
answered currently this is being
24:12
recorded on a canon g7x mark ii which is
24:16
really good in low light has a few audio
24:19
issues that you have to kind of work
24:21
around but all in all a decent camera I
24:23
also have a Canon 70d which I have not
24:27

24:30

24:33

24:36
mirrorless Canon a6 that I will
24:41
sometimes break out and use the majority
24:44
are the g7 X especially for theme park

24:52
particular era editing I always use my
24:55
iPhone iMovie I have an
24:58
SD card I pull out of the bottom of this
25:01
and other cameras dump it into a
25:03
converter that puts it in my camera roll
25:06
on the phone and I just sit there and I
25:09
ed up and that for years I use iMovie on
25:12
my phone and then I upload from my phone
25:16
