Transcript
0:03
welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:03
today's adventure will be a walk and a
0:05
talk
0:06
if you will downtown celebration market
0:09
street
0:09
i'm approaching market square which is
0:13
just behind me well
0:14
market square is here like you should
0:16
call it a circle has the fountain
0:18
reminds me of the orange circle which
0:19
for those who have forgotten
0:21
me and talking to myself me included i
0:24
still do have a place in orange county
0:28
california sometimes i forget about that
0:32
because i
0:32
spent so much time here in central
0:35
florida
0:36
lest none of us forget including
0:39
myself that i have to return
0:43
to socal and that's kind of what i want
0:45
to mention
0:46
i also want to kind of talk about
0:49
disneyland
0:50
accepting out-of-state guests now
0:51
there's an interesting asterisk there
0:53
because i do have a florida id
0:56
in my wallet this movie back to central
0:59
now have once again i have a florida
1:02
residence so there's a little gray area
1:04
well not really a gray area a distinct
1:07
cut-off point where you are not supposed
1:10
to even though i have heard rumors that
1:11
none of the theme parks
1:13
out in socal are checking ids and those
1:15
from other states are
1:17
attending it is frowned upon and you are
1:20
not supposed to do so so i did not go
1:22
plus i had some jury duties last month
1:24
there's a whole bunch of stuff
1:25
did not go to the reopenings of
1:27
disneyland i'll mention that in a minute
1:29
i'm gonna go over to starbucks
1:30
and get myself a piping hot caffeinated
1:32
beverage had a friend of town my friend
1:34
natalie was here for a week we did a lot
1:36
of
1:36
disney content use some of my dvc points
1:40
stayed at some of the hotels at some of
1:42
the restaurants had
1:44
three theme park days did a couple perk
1:46
hopping days
1:47
it was good times all those videos were
1:48
uploaded let me just go on a little bit
1:51
of a ramble here about this channel the
1:53
daily group now this started as an
1:55
everyday video i did
1:56
five years and two months 1911 days
2:00
don't quote me on that i believe it was
2:02
on how i did every day without missing a
2:04
day since then
2:06
i took a couple couple months off did a
2:07
couple of big projects over on the adam
2:09
the wu chan by the way i'm inviting you
2:12
to join me shall you as i have a little
2:14
walk
2:16
and talk pretty much since i
2:20
quit the everyday uploads
2:23
i've gone back to pretty much everyday
2:26
uploads i will miss a day here and there
2:28
maybe a couple days a month but
2:29
consistently i probably upload
2:32
25 27 to 30 depending on how many days
2:35
in the month there are
2:37
uploads per month i get tunnel vision i
2:39
get on a
2:40
streak where i just want to upload i
2:43
want to
2:43
deliver content out there and i want to
2:45
keep myself active
2:46
and busy which is what's kind of rolling
2:50
around in the in the head right now
2:52
the purpose of this channel right now
2:55
the daily woo
2:56
channel is for me to stay busy to
2:59
motivate myself to get off of the couch
3:02
to get out of
3:03
bed to do things that are not
3:05
necessarily
3:06
required but i feel it is
3:10
it is a positive aspect to just stay
3:14
you know they say a rolling stone
3:15
gathers no moss now sometimes i will
3:18
have
3:19
family i will have friends i will have
3:23
people in town who are visiting or there
3:25
will be something that i want to do
3:26
sometimes i do not want to go
3:28
on a cross-country road show sometimes i
3:30
do not want to do a heavily researched
3:31
project
3:32
so i wake up in the morning and will say
3:34
heck it let me just
3:36
film the day whether it is eating a
3:38
donut
3:39
drinking a coffee going to a theme park
3:42
all those things that i enjoy
3:44
why not document them for the channel so
3:47
let me just
3:48
make this statement let me make it
3:49
perfectly clear the point
3:52
of this channel is just to show what i
3:55
am doing now i will always
3:58
you know not not deliver basically
4:00
something me just
4:01
sitting around i try to put something
4:03
out there that's not too
4:04
incredibly boring and i try to do have
4:07
some sort of
4:07
subject matter maybe
4:10
the benefit of give me the benefit of
4:12
the doubt on that
4:14
but also keep in mind it's just me
4:17
filming
4:18
more or less what i can do in a day and
4:21
that being said
4:22
you can also put that into filming
4:24
locations even heavily researched
4:26
projects
4:27
that i will be doing in between filming
4:30
in between editing
4:31
i will be researching stuff so some of
4:33
the more heavily
4:35
researched things that take time
4:38
off camera to you know look on google
4:41
street view
4:42
look on google earth research projects
4:45
look through books
4:46
things of that nature talk to people all
4:48
of that stuff is not documented on
4:50
camera until the day arises so if you'll
4:52
notice any of the filming locations that
4:54
i have done here
4:56
on the daily woo have all been done in
4:58
one day
4:59
i will prepare ahead of that deck i will
5:02
have the screen captures
5:04
and then i will go out and it will all
5:06
be done in accordance with my day this
5:08
is kind of an unusual thing i do not
5:10
stockpile footage i never film more than
5:12
one video
5:13
at a time it's always consistent if i do
5:15
a road trip
5:16
the video will come out usually the day
5:19
or worst case scenario the next morning
5:22
i try to keep it consistent
5:24
with a daily vlog
5:28
channel okay now that that is off
5:32
and out there into the universe and
5:34
understood i've got to get
5:35
myself some coffee and i'm going to talk
5:36
about whether or not
5:38
and travel plans yes i am ready to hit
5:41
the road
5:42
travel plans back to my home in southern
5:45
california
5:46
orange county california which needs to
5:48
happen sooner than later i have been
5:51
here months
5:53
i have even forgotten that i have a
5:55
place out there you might have forgotten
5:57
and i do not want anyone
5:59
to forget it well i don't want anyone to
6:02
forget that i have
6:03
including myself let me go get some
6:05
coffee that was a long intro
6:07
i think i said i'm inviting you to join
6:08
me but i'm saying it again you want to
6:09
join me i
6:10
think you should think you shout
6:12
sometimes i feel as if i may be doing
6:14
things the
6:15
the what would be the word not the wrong
6:18
way but the
6:18
incorrect way or maybe the maybe not the
6:22
simplest way
6:23
for example if i went on a road trip and
6:25
i did five or six days out on the road
6:28
i could film two or three videos a day
6:29
and then when i got back to either coast
6:31
i could have like a week off
6:33
i feel like that would probably be
6:34
easier on my mental state or maybe even
6:37
giving me some days off but i don't
6:39
really like taking days off
6:41
as stated it's all about being active
6:44
not sitting around
6:45
and just doing stuff now there may come
6:47
a day when that will happen maybe i will
6:49
just start uploading over on
6:51
my original channel the adam the woo
6:52
channel which i haven't uploaded
6:54
in a while take a step back semi take a
6:58
i don't say retirement because that'll
6:59
happen one day a full retirement will
7:01
happen one day you know way down the
7:03
road
7:03
not anytime soon but maybe i could maybe
7:06
i could adjust things but for
7:08
now and how it's always been it is a day
7:10
by day almost like a 24 hour
7:12
challenge to myself to get up to
7:16
film to edit to have it uploaded make it
7:19
live
7:20
the next morning very relevant and part
7:22
of the reason i don't
7:24
i don't do two or three or four or five
7:26
videos in a day and then get back and
7:27
then have
7:28
stockpile footage is because if
7:30
something happens if something is
7:32
relevant the day of
7:34
i don't want it to mix up the continuity
7:37
of what i've been doing i don't want to
7:39
be in tennessee
7:40
let's say i went to pigeon forge
7:42
tennessee for a week and then halfway
7:44
through pigeon forge
7:45
if i got back here and i had i had
7:48
videos from gatlinburg
7:49
and then all of a sudden something
7:51
happened here that was relevant like an
7:52
opening of something
7:53
i wouldn't want to throw those into the
7:55
mix and then immediately after i
7:58
confused myself and everyone else that i
8:00
am somewhere else
8:01
it that's just that's just the way i do
8:03
i cannot wrap my head around
8:05
that concept maybe one day i will be
8:06
able to wrap my head around that and
8:08
give myself some peace of mind but
8:10
anyway i'm going over here to the
8:11
starbucks i get myself a hazelnut latte
8:14
hot
8:14
if they have i am just i'm just spewing
8:17
out a lot of stuff today
8:18
back in the winter time i end up my ice
8:21
cube
8:22
my coffee here back in the winter time i
8:24
drove from california
8:26
wanted to have my car out here central
8:29
so drove my own personal vehicle
8:32
through texas southern texas i thought
8:34
it can't be that bad
8:36
in a winter storm in southern texas you
8:37
know across
8:39
amarillo or those areas would be bad but
8:42
not across i-10
8:43
boy was i sorely mistaken and hit
8:48
the frozen tundra of texas it was very
8:50
dangerous should not have done it but
8:53
i was already i was already heading
8:56
forward heading across
8:57
eastbound
9:02
and i did it i thought once i get my car
9:02
out here i am never going to have my own
9:04
personal vehicle
9:06
in southern california again both ways
9:08
here good to go
9:10
and now i'm thinking maybe i should have
9:13
my own personal vehicle in southern
9:14
california again
9:16
my original thought process was when i
9:18
get back to orange county california
9:21
i'll have
9:23
rental cars i can rent cars i can take
9:25
uber
9:26
and catch rides with friends etc
9:30
looking up rental cars i was always
9:33
looking at
9:34
cross-country road trips going into
9:36
different areas of the us
9:39
and rental cars right now are insanely
9:42
expensive which is fine it goes with the
9:45
territory part of the job you have to
9:46
have to
9:47
spend money to to do things
9:51
but man it is exorbitant so now i'm
9:53
thinking
9:54
should i just take my personal vehicle
9:58
drive it back to california maybe not on
10:00
this trip on another ship
10:02
anyway just thinking out loud this time
10:09
disneyland is reopening well disneyland
10:09
is reopen
10:10
disneyland is reopening to out of state
10:13
guess i gotta switch hands here we go
10:17
to out-of-state guests which would be
10:19
considered me
10:20
even though i do have a place out there
10:24
in my wallet as a florida resident
10:27
driver's license
10:29
june 15th i believe
10:33
i haven't really kept up with this i am
10:34
i'm not the best at being
10:36
keeping up with things news
10:39
information things of that nature
10:42
especially when i am on one coast i kind
10:44
of avoid
10:46
researching and seeing things or even
10:48
paying attention
10:50
when it comes to social media i don't
10:52
follow anyone
10:53
it's just what close friends i see their
10:55
profiles
10:56
things like that but as far as me
10:58
getting a news feed
11:00
whether it be on any of the social media
11:01
platforms
11:03
i don't have any of that so i'm not
11:05
inundated with info
11:13
nonetheless june 15th as of how i know
11:13
i will be allowed to show up
11:16
and go into disneyland i do have i
11:18
bought a 10-day ticket off an off-site
11:21
deal and i also have a couple through
11:24
disneyland the off-site ones
11:26
are legitimate tickets but they're
11:27
through a third party
11:29
and i got those so that when they had
11:30
the reopenings didn't you not use them
11:32
so by the end of the year i think i have
11:34
10 or 12 days to use by the end of the
11:36
year annual passes are not a thing out
11:37
there anymore
11:43
and i am here to say as i switch hands
11:43
again
11:44
i'm here to say i am not going to do an
11:46
overload
11:48
of disneyland when i get back out there
11:51
will i go on the 15th that's that's i'm
11:53
being sidetracked
11:54
will i be out there on june 15th
11:59
the opening day for non
12:03
or for residents of other states which
12:04
i'm afforded resident
12:06
like i said asterisk have a place on
12:07
both coasts nonetheless
12:09
i will not be there no the answer is no
12:13
i will not be there with bells on
12:15
nor will i be there without bells i will
12:17
not be there at all on june 15th in fact
12:19
i will still be here boy that sun is
12:21
bright
12:21
the sun is very very bright i will still
12:24
be here
12:25
or driving across the country or
12:28
elsewhere
12:29
i might be elsewhere i have some other
12:30
ideas it is windy
12:33
what i'm going to be doing i will not be
12:36
out
12:36
into southern california i should
12:39
probably get in the sun so you can see
12:40
me
12:41
until end of june early
12:45
july
12:52
oh that's good
12:52
some pressure washing going on out here
12:55
apologies for the noise not landscaping
12:58
but you know
12:59
kind of the same noise as landscaping
13:07
so yeah that's it going back to southern
13:07
california don't know if i'm gonna drive
13:09
if i'm gonna fly if i'm gonna rent a car
13:11
it's all very vague hello bird
13:15
hello bird down there sitting by the
13:16
shore getting a nice little view
13:24
so my plan is to do maybe one day at
13:24
disneyland one day at dca i like to do
13:26
universal studios i like to do knots
13:30
that's kind of it that's kind of it i'm
13:33
not going to go too
13:34
wild and crazy with the disneyland
13:37
content
13:38
but i'll do a few things might change my
13:41
thoughts might change once i get out
13:42
there
13:43
do have some filming locations i would
13:44
like to do out there and i've kind of
13:46
like taken 2021
13:49
as more of kind of a wash
13:53
kind of uh a year that's just going to
13:56
be
13:56
i will say thrown away but i'm it's
13:59
almost like a continuation of 2020 no
14:02
2020 not a lot was able to be done and i
14:05
feel like 2021
14:07
is just a little bit of a step above
14:11
2020
14:12
in a lot of ways definitely very
14:14
thankful that it has progressed a lot
14:16
since last year but it is not fully back
14:18
to its
14:19
armed and operational normalcy
14:24
2022 in fact kept my place
14:28
out in southern california knowing that
14:31
2022
14:33
will be fully game on
14:36
so until then in 2021
14:40
i will be shuffling back and forth now
14:44
i've been out here for a few months
14:45
it will not be that way the rest of the
14:47
year i will be doing a lot of traveling
14:50
whether it be flying renting cars or my
14:52
own personal vehicle
14:54
back and forth from california to
14:57
and going through some of the other
14:58
nooks and crannies of the us
15:00
i would say probably a month in each
15:03
place
15:04
and then back to the other place hot
15:06
season will be
15:08
very prevalent in southern california
15:11
into september early october i will be
15:13
back here
15:14
for walt disney world's 50th anniversary
15:18
which i will be at with a huge smile on
15:21
my face
15:28
a lot of times well here's a fact
15:28
whenever those watch videos or watch
15:31
someone's life they always have ideas of
15:34
what is
15:35
really going on or what the future holds
15:39
or they forget about the past everyone
15:42
looks at the present
15:44
what you are doing at this moment they
15:46
don't look at what you've been through
15:47
to get to a certain point and they don't
15:49
look at the future of what you may
15:51
or may not have plans so
15:54
some may think oh adam just going to be
15:56
in florida forever
15:58
that is not the case still have a place
16:02
out in socal still going to be traveling
16:05
have a lot of ideas
16:07
it's been a wacky year and a half
16:11
that is for sure and all this has been
16:14
going
16:14
according to my design i think that's a
16:18
misquote
16:18
of the emperor but you understand
16:22
you understand what i was going for i've
16:23
also mentioned this before but let me
16:24
just reiterate
16:26
i have a couple one particular project
16:29
that is a massive undertaking
16:34
project across the u.s that i really
16:37
want to do i wanted to do it last year
16:39
was not meant to be and the more i
16:42
research it
16:43
and think about it as far as travel
16:46
and travel prices everyone
16:50
and their brother cousins nephews moms
16:53
dads
16:54
nieces dogs previous owners best friends
16:59
are traveling right now everyone is
17:02
hitting the road
17:03
or hopping on a plane planes are full oh
17:06
how things have changed
17:08
recently i did a lot of traveling well i
17:12
haven't really stopped traveling i
17:13
haven't really stopped doing things
17:14
and i have seen the natural progression
17:18
people going out and doing stuff and it
17:21
is a positive thing however
17:23
people were kind of kept
17:27
inside for so long at one with their
17:30
thoughts and their self
17:31
and now they want to go out and live
17:33
life which is great
17:36
unless you're trying to book an airline
17:38
ticket and there aren't any there are no
17:40
longer separating seats
17:42
plane flight tickets have gone up rental
17:45
car prices
17:46
whoo i looked up one the other day
17:50
what normally a one-way a lot of times
17:52
i'll do one-way rentals
17:54
from you know cross-country and i had
17:56
one particular place in mind to another
17:58
particular place in mind east to west
17:59
coast
18:00
i think it was over like a 15-day deal a
18:03
one-way ticket
18:04
or one-way rental would probably be 11
18:07
12 1300 for something like that which is
18:10
still kind of pricey
18:11
because you're dropping it off at a
18:12
different spot it was three grand
18:15
three thousand dollars
18:22
which i'd probably still do but oh
18:22
goodness maybe i should not do that
18:26
anyway so i feel like there are some
18:28
some warning signs
18:30
some fly some red flags that are being
18:33
thrown up for some of these
18:35
massive road trip projects that i want
18:39
to do
18:39
so maybe i should just wait till until
18:41
next year to do
18:43
and i haven't really spent time in my
18:44
home out in southern california
18:46
so as stated just living life
18:50
doing things there's plenty to document
18:52
out there
18:53
plenty to document here i could even
18:56
possibly
18:56
go on a plane and go from to a one place
18:58
a location
19:00
not even rent a car just go in for a
19:01
couple days go somewhere else hop around
19:04
so all this it's very confusing let's
19:07
just title i could title this the
19:09
thinking out loud
19:10
series which i do a lot you know people
19:12
ask all the time what are you going to
19:14
do what are you going to do what are you
19:15
going to do close friends
19:17
family a lot will ask me what are you
19:20
going to do what are you going to do and
19:21
i have to answer
19:23
i don't even know what i'm going to do i
19:25
change my mind
19:27
more than don't if i ever meet you in
19:30
person and we hang out
19:31
and we're talking and i tell you my
19:33
plans realize
19:36
that those most likely are going to
19:38
change
19:39
eight times before the end of our lunch
19:42
that's just the way my mind works i
19:44
don't have the answers i don't know what
19:45
i'm gonna do
19:47
