welcome everyone Adam the woo here as
0:02

0:03
December 20th
0:06
2023 standing here on Water Street which
0:08
connects with Market Street directly
0:11
that way and I'm just going to walk over
0:13
to Starbucks which I probably should go
0:15
ahead and mobile order so it's ready by
0:17
time I get
0:18
there and just peruse around town I
0:22
would like to talk a little
0:24
bit about staying in
0:27
Florida kind of alluded to it a few
0:29
weeks ago and then mentioned that I was
0:30
moving and I am moving out of my little
0:32
small one-bedroom apartment right here
0:35
on this stretch of road I will no longer
0:37
be a downtown
0:40
celebration someone's backing in there
0:43
but I'm also here to announce that I
0:45
will be staying in the central Florida
0:48
area and we'll be going to a little bit
0:50
bigger place a place that I'm pretty
0:53
excited the fact that I will be able to
0:55
have a studio again a rudo again I am
0:58
not moving out of the Central Florida
1:01
area I'm not moving out of state but I
1:02
will not be right here the belly of the
1:06
Beast if you will during the holiday
1:09
especially October and December when it
1:11
gets really crazily busy down here there
1:14
some things I really love about being
1:15
downtown here but there's a lot of
1:17
things I dislike parking situation is
1:20
not the
1:26
best but I have some fond memories of
1:26
being right down here on this little
1:29
stretch for quite a while all right a
1:32
little walk and talk a little
1:34
coffee consumption I'm inviting you to
1:38
join me it's good to have you here shall
1:40
you there a dog barking over
1:43
there dogs barking current time is about
1:46
4:15 is also I never show this side of
1:50
the clock I always show the other side
1:52
but there is a little dog it's not the
1:54
one that's barking but there is the dog
1:55
and the bicycle Rider on this side
1:57
too two of the four sides
2:04
yeah I'm not going to be right down here
2:04
in the near the clock
2:09
anymore but I think I made the right
2:11
decision with staying in Central Florida
2:13
and there's a lot of reasons for that
2:16
and there's a lot of places within the
2:17
last year that I heavily looked at
2:20
moving
2:21
to and I decided that this is my
2:24
home for a long time yeah so update not
2:29
ruction update
2:31
but where I'll be living update I am
2:33
going to stay a
2:36
Floridian for hopefully many years I
2:38
mean who knows if I'll be around many
2:39
years but yeah this is this is my home
2:42
state I thought about moving back to
2:43
California looked at quite a few places
2:45
out there in LA Burbank even in Orange
2:48
County but I was kind of leaning on not
2:49
moving back to Orange County if I would
2:52
have moved back to California I probably
2:54
would have gone up in the LA Burbank
2:55
area Glendale area that kind of vicinity
2:58
and I also
3:00
considered many many times to move to
3:02
Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area and I
3:04
decided against that within the last few
3:06
years I just feel like that is not the
3:08
place that I want to be just based on
3:11
how the proximity to an airport is the
3:13
proximity to the closest baseball
3:14
stadium which would probably be Atlanta
3:16
which is what four 5 hours give or take
3:19
and just yeah I just wanted to be kind
3:22
of closer to a hub when it comes to an
3:25
airport with MCO and the Rays just
3:29
extend Ed that they're going to be in
3:31
Florida of course granted that's over on
3:33
the coast but not that far for 30 more
3:37
years I'm be building a new stadium so
3:38
I'm going to be a lifelong race a
3:40
lifelong Ray which is exciting to think
3:44
about a lot of good things on on the on
3:46
the horizon and next year as I've stated
3:49
is going to be the first last full year
3:51
so 2024 will be the last full year of
3:55
the uninterrupted continuous I should
3:57
say daily Vlog so as far as just
4:00
continuing a streak pretty much doing
4:02
each and every day without stopping with
4:04
the exception of like here and there
4:05
maybe taking one day off all that's
4:07
going to be kind of out the window after
4:09
2024 and 2025 and going to be starting
4:11
some new projects in a bigger spot that
4:16
has an area that I can build a studio or
4:21
the woodo kind of like alluding back to
4:23
my Orange County days back in
4:25
20156 that work out perfectly soon as I
4:28
walked in they called out the name said
4:30
Adam your vanilla latte is ready do not
4:33
park down here it's a towway Zone and I
4:35
got my piping hot caffeinated beverage a
4:37
little blonde vanilla latte right
4:41
here yeah I'm not going to be down here
4:44
with the two trains anymore during the
4:46
holidays and I got to say after you know
4:48
being down here I have to park in the
4:50
spots that are kind of like considered
4:52
public parking so I would have to park
4:55
and sometimes on a during the Christmas
4:58
season before 10 o'clock before the last
5:01
snowfall at 9 down here there's no
5:03
parking within like two or three blocks
5:05
so it made it difficult to like take
5:06
stuff to my place or you know to walk
5:09
walk in so that's that was one challenge
5:12
about living downtown celebration that
5:14
I'm probably not going to miss that
5:16
aspect of being right down here in it
5:18
but I'm not going too too far I wanted
5:20
to stay in close proximity to Walt
5:22
Disney World I wanted to stay within a
5:24
half hour of my parents so I still when
5:27
I get to the new spot I'm not completely
5:29
done moving it's been pretty hectic the
5:31
last week or two with Christmas stuff
5:33
with my sister in town doing Christmas a
5:35
little early with my mom and dad and
5:37
also trying to move things as well and
5:40
put the videos up it's been it's been I
5:43
would say tedious it definitely has not
5:44
been tedious but it is it's been a
5:46
little little bit of a fun a fun time
5:48
the last week or so but another week a
5:51
little more than a week and I'll be down
5:53
here ah the
5:55
fountain love this Fountain I will look
5:58
at this decision on staying you know
6:00
going to the new spot which I will be
6:03
I'll doing a detailed explanation and
6:05
showing that when it is time probably on
6:09
New Year's Eve New Year's day maybe the
6:11
day or two after New Year's within that
6:13
there's a bird going by going over there
6:15
to look for Howard but Howard's not
6:16
there Howard the decoy duck has been
6:18
moved so I will part of the reason I
6:21
wanted to get a little bit bigger place
6:23
not only because of the studio but also
6:25
that I could do more at home type of
6:27
videos so that is going to be I'll be
6:30
showing more of that but not yet cuz I'm
6:32
not complete once I want to kind of get
6:34
it all secured set up everything moved
6:38
before kind of going that going down
6:40
that whole Rabbit Hole I was mentioning
6:41
a few weeks ago about how staying here
6:43
would be the best option and I know
6:47
Rumor Mill kind of started people were
6:48
kind of wondering people were asking me
6:50
as seeing people out and about or people
6:53
in the comments or you know
6:55
acquaintances would be like where are
6:56
you going are you staying in Florida you
6:58
going to Pigeon Forge you going to move
6:59
to New York which I did look at some
7:01
places in New York thought about how
7:04
cool it be to be in Manhattan kind of
7:06
tease that idea so I felt like I
7:09
probably needed to just go ahead and say
7:11
no I'm going to be staying in Central
7:14
Florida also baby Jesus is
7:20
there and this opens up it's a kind of a
7:20
big weight off my shoulders because I'm
7:23
always concerned now what am I going to
7:24
film the next day or each day and then
7:27
I'm also concerned with where am I going
7:28
to travel to and then always looming in
7:30
the back of my head is where am I going
7:31
to move anyone that knows me really well
7:34
can attest to this that I'm always
7:36
talking like I think I'm going to move
7:37
here I think I'm going to move there I
7:39
don't have to say that anymore so now
7:41
I'm I'm locked in I'm going to be locked
7:43
in well I'm not locked in yet but I'm
7:44
going to be locked in to Central Florida
7:47
for a while and I can concentrate more
7:50
on on traveling and focusing more on
7:52
home type stuff Central Florida stuff
7:56
and still traveling I'm not going to I'm
7:58
not going to stop traveling that's
7:59
that's always going to be a thing with
8:01
me just the the type of content after
8:03
next year in a 25 might change well it
8:06
it will change dramatically but I'm
8:08
always still going to travel I also went
8:10
and looked at Marceline Missouri so I
8:12
was up in Missouri I went to Walts
8:15
hometown of Marceline Missouri where
8:17
they have the hometown Museum and all
8:19
that and I was kind of tinkering with
8:21
the idea possibly moving there at one
8:25
point so the last time I was there I
8:26
looked at three different houses in Mar
8:30
and none of them were anything I would
8:32
have wanted to live you know sometimes
8:34
you look at photos online you say it
8:36
looks looks not that great it looks kind
8:38
of bad but it might be better in person
8:40
I can it's it's like a fixer upper well
8:43
the ones I looked at were way more than
8:45
a fixer upper so I just changed my mind
8:48
on that idea and plus you know I'll be
8:50
50 in August and probably don't need to
8:54
be that far you know 2 hours from Kansas
8:56
City I'm close this you know bigger
8:59
doctor's office hospitals things like
9:01
that so that was that kind of came into
9:04
play but I always had this kind of like
9:06
emotional attachment to like Marceline
9:09
and the Romanticism of being in that
9:11
small little
9:16
town but that's not going to happen I
9:16
changed my mind backyard
9:23
birds to be honest I am getting a little
9:23
stir crazy and I'm already starting to
9:25
think about future travel plans just the
9:28
only thing I could say is just bear with
9:29
me a little bit because got the move
9:32
shortly after that have to get stuff for
9:34
the new place so I'm going to have to
9:37
stick around for a little bit but let me
9:38
tell you I just once I'm in an area for
9:42
more than a couple weeks I start to get
9:44
like Yeah The Wheels start turning my
9:46
body start start getting the the travel
9:48
shakes I just want to like get out and
9:51
do
9:52
things so I got I got some planning to
9:54
do but I also got some business at home
9:57
to take care of
10:00
and I'm not done moving got the majority
10:02
I would say I'm probably 75% moved it's
10:06
been going on for a week two
10:09
weeks you'll kind of notice that later
10:11
in the evenings or evenings but later in
10:13
the early afternoon I should
10:15
say is when I usually would do the
10:17
episodes because in the last week or two
10:20
I've been taking care of of moving most
10:23
the day and then doing family stuff as
10:26
well so you just bear with me a little
10:28
bit but
10:30
I think 2024 is going to be a pretty
10:31
good year and I don't know really a
10:34
pivotal I don't say Monumental but
10:36
definitely a pivotal year for myself I
10:39
will look back to the decisions that I
10:41
have made within here in the last few
10:43
weeks and I'll say okay those those were
10:46
those were pivotal moments hopefully
10:48
good most likely will be
10:54
good we'll see if they're good another
10:54
reason I didn't immediately state where
10:56
I was going to be going is just because
10:59
because I wanted to get some things in
11:01
order you know who that
11:04
that that squirrels went right
11:06
underneath the
11:11
bridge that's an Anthony keah squirrel
11:11
oh dang look at this this is almost like
11:14
a Tarzan Georgia the jungle type of
11:17
Branch Vine look you don't see these too
11:19
often you see them on TV and movies you
11:21
don't really see them in real life look
11:22
how it stretches all the way up there
11:24
then goes
11:30
down h
11:30
that's cool I don't want to swing on
11:32
that like Brandon Fraser did in Georgia
11:34
the jungle Brandon Fraser just did the
11:37
candle light processional last week was
11:39
like insanely busy I didn't I didn't
11:41
even go but I know some people that went
11:43
they couldn't even couldn't even get a
11:45
peak it was like so busy I'm going to
11:47
grab a seat over
11:49
here the back end of Lake
11:56
Reinhard I like these benches cuz they
11:56
have celebration ingrained in there see
11:58
it right there there it's
12:01
like planted in the side of the wood
12:03
almost like a brand also it's been a
12:06
little tough not
12:07
showcasing or making part of the
12:10
episodes and the videos the move not
12:13
transferring stuff off because normally
12:15
I show a pretty good chunk of what I do
12:18
not every little aspect of my life but I
12:19
show quite a bit of my life and it's
12:21
been tough tough not to grab the camera
12:23
and be like I'm going to show this but
12:25
as stated got to get get some things set
12:27
up secured it's an interesting age we
12:30
live in which this is the first time
12:32
where I'm going to have a place that has
12:35
cameras all over that I can look on my
12:38
phone and see what's going on at any
12:40
time and they're recording if something
12:48
happens that's pretty neat and also
12:48
gives me gives me a little more uh
12:51
confidence to travel and know that you
12:54
know things are kind of being watched
12:55
over and the area I'm going to be in is
12:58
a pretty good
12:59
neighborhood typee of community watch
13:02
type of area I've already met a couple
13:04
of the neighbors that are immediately
13:07
next door so that's nice to to kind of
13:10
know and told them what I do what they
13:13
do things like that
13:14
so it's going to be
13:17
good yeah 2023 into
13:26
2024 you never know when you have eyes
13:26
on you I always have eyes on me which is
13:29
another subject matter because I put my
13:31
life out there everything you know
13:34
people talk people mention people say
13:36
things people are kind of going in and
13:38
that is because I choose to put myself
13:41
out there it has some good and bad
13:42
aspects to it but the majority of
13:45
everything that I do as far as what
13:47
comes back upon me and what I have kind
13:50
of done for myself by putting my life
13:52
out on the internet has been mostly good
13:55
so the little tiny bit of negativity or
13:58
for the bad part I I can I can live with
14:01
it I'm I'm fine I think I've been doing
14:03
this long enough to where it's just kind
14:06
of par for the course and it honestly
14:07
would be weird if it didn't happen I
14:10
have a mosquito on my forehead of course
14:13
now I was going to flip the camera
14:14
around it's gone but I had a mosquito on
14:17
my
14:36
mosquito's gone it's not on my forehead
14:36
anymore water
14:47
Birds but I will miss the proximity to
14:47
just being able to walk around this lake
14:49
at any given time without getting in a
14:53
vehicle I was just right there well
14:56
still am for another
14:57
week
14:59
just walk out and water Market Street
15:05
bam it was a fun you know two or three
15:08
years living I think it was there 3
15:09
years 3 years 2
15:12
years specifically here 3 years when you
15:16
count the B Coastal what I have the
15:18
place at Anaheim
15:24
still so two three years oh we got you a
15:24
little snack there got you a little
15:26
snack no don't don't must carry off you
15:29
got your a little snack there you were
15:31
submerging your beak down in there and
15:33
he got himself a little
15:40
snack now I know my announcement is
15:40
going
15:41
to most people will be excited but some
15:44
people will not be happy that I'm not
15:46
going to back to California or not going
15:48
to New York or not going to Pigeon Forge
15:49
or not going to Marceline or any of
15:50
those other spots that I mention but I
15:53
can still hop a plane I can still
15:56
travel and I still will also reach the
15:59
point when it comes to what I do and my
16:01
content I kind of just do what I want I
16:03
kind of really don't care about others
16:06
opinions I appreciate people watching
16:09
and I'm really glad that people watch
16:11
but at the end of the day it's my life
16:12
I'm going to do what I
16:15
want so yeah there probably going to be
16:17
some Disney World content there's still
16:18
be some travels there going to be some
16:19
baseball stuff coming up with spring
16:21
training starting in Spring and then I
16:24
think it's 99 days as I'm filming this
16:27
for the start of baseball season be a
16:28
lot of baseball be a lot of
16:30
travels I think I still have 12 stadiums
16:33
to go to so there's 12 a dozen different
16:36
cities that I'm going to go to and
16:38
obviously I won't just go for one game
16:40
I'll go and film one game and then film
16:42
stuff in that said City or that said
16:44
general area for a few days up to a week
16:47
so I'm going to be gone a lot but yes
16:49
there will be some wdw
16:51
content there always will be I'll always
16:54
