0:13
soup chicken soup vegetable beef soup

0:22
chicken soup for my real Soul real
0:24
chicken soup the OG version of the
0:27
Chicken Soup for the Soul where they got
0:29
the name Chicken Soup for the Soul came
0:33

0:39
morning I woke up at 10:30 a.m. now I
0:43
did not get much sleep last night so
0:46
really it was kind of off and on
0:48
sleeping and sickness and coughing and
0:50
waking up and running nose and
0:51
congestion and waking up and sleeping
0:53
and having weird wacky dreams NyQuil
0:56
induced dreams but I laid in bed
1:00
till 10:30 a.m. this
1:03
morning which is the latest I ever slept
1:07
even though I was not sleeping I was
1:09
just laying
1:10
around that's the latest that I've
1:13
actually laid in bed in probably two to
1:16
3 years I usually wake up at 6:00 every
1:19
morning at the latest I crawl out of bed
1:21
at 7:00 a.m. and I go out I start doing
1:24
stuff and doing things I just couldnot
1:26
bring myself to get out of bed this
1:28
morning not feeling well
1:30
well this sore throat coughing
1:35
aching stuffy head fever so you can rest
1:38
your rest your head medicine NyQuil
1:40
isn't that the NyQuil
1:42
slogan so I took some NyQuil passed out
1:46
kept waking up coughing had some lozes
1:48
by the side of the bed and some water so
1:51
now that I am up and Adam see what I did
1:54
there I'm now drinking o orange juice
1:57
throughout the rest of the day I'm going
1:58
to go back home and make some soup have
2:00
I done the intro it's my second channel
2:02
daily Vlog channel it's the daily
2:06
woo and I wanted to talk to you
2:09
guys a little bit about
2:11
patreon and how I did not want to do it
2:13
for a long time I talked about it
2:15
yesterday a little bit well I bit the
2:17
bullet last night I took a bullet out of
2:20
a gun even though I've never actually
2:21
shot a gun and I took the proverbial
2:24
bullet out of a
2:26
gun and I don't even own a gun but I
2:29
have an imagin gun I took the bullet out
2:31
of the gun and I bit the bullet I
2:32
chomped down on that
2:35
bullet's inner nether regions I bit the
2:38
patreon bullet and I have set up a
2:40
patreon account the thing about patreon
2:43
that I was always negative on patreon
2:47
for a long time and I wasn't really sure
2:49
why and I think because a lot of it is
2:51
kind of my punk rock mentality my punk
2:53
rock ethics and being in a band and DIY
2:57
do it yourself do this yourself do this
2:59
yourself and people have been saying we
3:01
really want to help you out we love the
3:03
t-shirts we love supporting fueling the
3:06
fueling the van fueling flights to you
3:09
to go somewhere fueling different events
3:12
that you go to but we already have
3:15
enough t-shirts we've already supported
3:17
enough through adamthe woo.
3:18
spreadshirt.com people kept saying try
3:21
this patreon thing try this patreon
3:23
thing and I kind of came up with a
3:25
solution that will make me mentally
3:28
able to
3:30
understand and actually accept the
3:33
patreon endeavorment if that is even a
3:36
word I think the key is to keep the
3:41
patreon the patrons who are funding
3:44
fueling the woo the patreon account
3:47
keeping it low keeping it at a dollar to
3:49
$5 a person so I'm going to put the link
3:52
to the patreon below this video and the
3:55
way patreon works is you basically
3:58
pledge you give a pledge to patreon to
4:01
my Adam the woo
4:04
patreon.com adamthe woo and basically
4:07
you say I am going to give
4:10
Adam a $1 or a $5 pledge or whatever you
4:16
want to pledge I am going to say that
4:19
$5 is the top of the Pledge that you
4:22
should give cuz I think a few people
4:24
there are more than a few people who are
4:27
probably going to do the patreon and I
4:29
don't want to to get too overwhelming to
4:31
where in my brain it just blows my mind
4:34
enough and the ideas that I have the
4:36
crazy things that I have that I want to
4:38
go do starts whirling out of proportion
4:41
and I can't handle it so I'm thinking
4:44
the way that I can justify to my punk
4:47
rock ethic self is to keep it at $5 or
4:53
under there is no cap on I cannot put a
4:56
cap on what you Pledge on patreon
5:00
but for me to you I would appreciate if
5:03
you kept it at a $5 top off point you
5:08
can choose to pledge more than that but
5:10
in my mind this is kind of the way I'm
5:12
justifying the patreon thing so I'll put
5:15
the link down below Adam the woo on
5:17
patreon
5:18
patreon adamthe woo now I do a lot of
5:21
videos this video here I don't even know
5:24
what Vlog this is we are well past 1,000
5:28
well past 1,000 days in a r ow well well
5:31
well well past that we are
5:33
slowly
5:35
slowly creeping up on well no we've
5:38
already passed the threeyear mark gosh
5:40
we've already passed think about that we
5:43
have passed the three-year
5:45
Mark of doing a vlog every day together
5:48
me and you all of us the circle of
5:51
goodness that we have created we have
5:53
been doing Vlogs together without
5:54
missing an upload not one upload has
5:56
been missed in over 3 years so I've been
6:00
doing those these Vlogs I've also been
6:02
doing my main Channel that I have
6:04
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
6:06
edited down Adventure videos where I've
6:09
traveled across the US I have over 50 50
6:13
filming location videos that have gone
6:16
and done across the US and the way the
6:19
filming location videos are I've
6:21
mentioned this before it's a labor of
6:23
love I have never made any money on the
6:26
filming location videos because I do not
6:29
put any sort of AdSense I did not put
6:30
any ads I did not monetize any of the
6:33
videos that are specifically filming
6:36
locations because I am worried that the
6:39
studio or the ownership partners of the
6:42
movie clips that I use will not approve
6:46
of me monetizing making money off of
6:49
videos so every movie location video
6:52
that I have ever done on the Adam the
6:54
woo Channel my other channel this is the
6:55
Vlog Channel every single one of those
6:58
videos
6:59
has not made me any money so I've always
7:01
done it because I love doing it and I
7:03
want to
7:04
continue doing that and that is what
7:07
this patreon is about it is about the
7:11
movie locations more than everything
7:13
else yes it is about the fact that I'm
7:15
going to be traveling to other areas I'm
7:18
going to be going to other theme parks
7:19
I'm going to be going to other abandoned
7:21
places I'm going to be going to a lot of
7:23
wacky roadside attractions it's about
7:25
all that but for me I think the patreon
7:29
really is about sparking fueling let's
7:34
not use the word spark let's use the
7:36
word
7:38
fueling my Endeavors to go and do a lot
7:41
more filming locations and I brought
7:44
this up in the past I do not want to
7:45
announce the filming locations that I am
7:47
going to be
7:48
doing because if I actually say I'm
7:52
going to go do this filming location in
7:54
the next month people some people out
7:58
there in the internet World region will
8:03
actually take those ideas steal those
8:06
ideas and go do those ideas on their own
8:09
and they're all free I understand like
8:11
when anybody does a video you like to
8:13
think no one else is going to do this
8:14
video but the reality is everyone out
8:17
there that is doing videos is looking
8:19
for good ideas and if I go to a place if
8:22
I go to an abandoned place or a theme
8:24
park or a movie location I do not take
8:26
ownership of that particular place and I
8:29
really have no real issues with people
8:31
doing videos on what I've done videos of
8:34
but I kind of like to have the element
8:37
of surprise so let's say for example
8:40
let's take an old video that I've done
8:42
back to the Future Part One Part two
8:44
peewee's big adventure sha Shank
8:46
Redemption the Beetlejuice filming
8:47
locations hooers filming locations all
8:50
these videos I've done over on the Adam
8:52
the woo Channel and people have done
8:55
them since I have done them but what if
8:57
I was to announce the fact let's say I
8:59
had not done peewee's big adventure and
9:01
I said hey guys I'm going to go on a
9:03
peewee's big adventure hunt of all the
9:06
filming locations and everyone was
9:09
stoked on that and excited about that
9:10
it's going to take me probably about 2
9:12
weeks to finish thanks for your help
9:15
thanks for the patreon help all that and
9:17
then I announced to the world that I was
9:20
actually going to go do that someone
9:23
that lived near those locations would
9:25
think I'm going to go do those first I'm
9:27
going to go do those first and then the
9:29
L El of surprise the element of my
9:31
surprise of releasing something into the
9:33
world that people can enjoy and kind of
9:35
that
9:37
creativity that I am actually harnessing
9:39
and wanting to release into the world
9:40
the whole the excitement of that would
9:42
kind of be ruined does that make any
9:44
sense so basically when it comes to the
9:46
filming locations I'll give a little
9:48
hints but I do not want to give out
9:51
exact I do not want to give exactly
9:53
where I am going with these future
9:56
filming locations some of the filming
9:57
locations that I have planned are
10:00
super are super intense they require a
10:03
lot of flying to other areas of the
10:05
country they are not actually
10:06
specifically in one area now there are a
10:09
lot of stuff in La that I'm going to be
10:11
doing Las Vegas that I'm going to be
10:12
doing and some of the other areas
10:14
surrounding California some of the
10:16
connecting States now those things I
10:18
could probably drop way more hints that
10:20
I am doing other than the Epic stuff
10:23
where I will require flying from point A
10:26
to point B etc etc I'm talking way too
10:29
much much but I'm excited about this
10:31
patreon I'm excited to see what is going
10:34
to happen everything else will continue
10:37
as normal I will always do vlogs I will
10:40
always go to abandoned places I will
10:42
always go to roadside attractions I will
10:44
always go to theme parks I have said
10:46
that after the holiday seasons and as
10:48
this year starts to taper off I'm going
10:51
to be be visiting less and less Disney I
10:53
will not be going to Disneyland and Walt
10:55
Disney World as much after don't don't
10:59
take what I'm saying specifically
11:01
starting today because I am planning a
11:03
trip a flight which I've already paid
11:06
for to fly out to Florida which I will
11:09
be going to Walt Disney World for a week
11:11
I'll be filming a lot of Disney World
11:13
videos But after those videos are done I
11:16
will be harnessing pulling in my
11:19
resources the patreon resources the help
11:21
that everyone is giving me and the ideas
11:24
that I had swirling around in my head
11:28
for other videos
11:30
a lot of filming locations so that's
11:31
what this patreon is about there is a
11:34
child over there screaming at the top of
11:35
his lungs to his mother I'm going to
11:38
mind my own business you can probably
11:40
hear that child yelling and screaming so
11:43
that's what this is about I am screaming
11:45
I am yelling and screaming about this
11:47
new patreon thing that I am excited
11:49
about still kind of iffy on how it works
11:52
but go to patreon.com you can figure all
11:55
that out people have been saying well we
11:58
don't want you to go to Disney anymore
12:00
if we're going to start doing patreon we
12:02
don't want you to do this anymore we
12:04
want you to do this we want you to do
12:05
this we have to figure all that out in
12:07
time everything still goes according to
12:10
plan I will still be going to theme
12:12
parks I still will be going to abandoned
12:14
places hopefully way more abandoned
12:16
places I know a lot of people have been
12:18
asking about the abandoned stuff do more
12:20
abandoned stuff do more abandoned stuff
12:21
do more abandoned stuff so I need to
12:23
start doing more abandoned stuff so that
12:25
will actually start to be stepped up a
12:26
little bit as well but the movie
12:29
locations are the M basically the movie
12:32
locations really are what it's all about
12:34
the filming
12:36
locations so I'm pretty excited
12:38
about the future of what we have created
12:42
together and what we will create
12:43
together oh but like I was saying a lot
12:45
of people are saying if we're going to
12:48
do patreon we don't want it going to
12:51
Disneyland Disney World stuff like that
12:53
which is totally understandable that is
12:55
not what it's about it is about movie
12:57
locations
13:00
excuse me I'm not feeling
13:01
well and doing other exciting things
13:06
like that which also leads me to another
13:08
point I'm I'm very long- winded
13:10
but when it comes to what I've already
13:14
been doing like when it comes to the
13:15
theme parks like Disneyland and Walt
13:17
Disney World I have actually purchased a
13:21
premier path so I can go to Walt Disney
13:23
World and I can go to Disneyland I don't
13:25
have to pay to get in because I've
13:27
already upfront that money last month
13:29
month or two months ago whenever it was
13:31
and I actually do not have to actually
13:33
pay to get in so a lot of people do say
13:36
do you live at Disneyland or do you pay
13:39
every time you go in the answer is no I
13:41
do not pay every time I go in I live so
13:43
close to Disneyland it's very easy for
13:45
me to just drive down there enjoy the
13:47
morning enjoy rope drop etc etc so
13:50
that's why I go a lot and I explained
13:52
yesterday that the fact that I was not
13:54
allowed at Walt Disney World for so long
13:57
and that I moved to California and I had
13:59
Disneyland basically in my backyard it
14:01
was
14:02
really it was really kind of like making
14:05
up for lost time being able to go to
14:08
parks that I was not allowed to go to
14:10
for a long time and that's with this
14:12
Walt Disney World trip that I'm going
14:14
down to Florida is all about rekindling
14:17
some memories filming some stuff and
14:19
then after that I still will be visiting
14:21
Disney but it will be on a very smaller
14:23
scale there are a lot of other bigger
14:26
fish to fry there's a whole big
14:30
beautiful world out there that I want to
14:32
explore and I'm going to explore I am
14:36
excited about the future especially
14:39
after these holid this holiday season is
14:40
over really going to step it up got Let
14:42
the Sky Go by really got to step it up
14:44
into high gear and I will right now I'm
14:48
not feeling in high gear I'm probably in
14:50
my lowest gear ever not not driving this
14:53
is an automatic transmission but I'm in
14:54
my lowest gear physically right now
14:57
because I am not feeling very very
15:00
well I've talked way too much I've said
15:02
so much yet I've said so little did I
15:05
ever do the intro I think I did it's
15:07
second channel daily Vlog channel it's a
15:08
daily woo well I just did it
15:11
again guys girls children men
15:18
women
15:20
childlike peoples I really
15:24
appreciate everything everyone does for
15:26
me all the support through comments
15:29
buying the t-shirts on the spreadshirt
15:32
and now this patreon which I'm really
15:33
excited about just remember to keep it
15:35
at
15:36
$5 keep it at $5 if you can I cannot put
15:40
a cut off point on it but the $5 maximum
15:44
would be awesome if you would just
15:45
adhere to that that would be cool and
15:49
let's see what we can create I'm excited
15:51
about creating some things doing some
15:53
things not that I have not been doing
15:56
things and not that these videos are
15:58
ever going to cost anything you can
15:59
always watch any video in the past or in
16:02
the future for absolutely free this is
16:04
just a way for people who have been
16:06
wanting to be more supportive to be more
16:08
supportive and for that I thank you and
16:11
I'm humbled by how many people are
16:15
watching these videos every day
16:17
especially my main Channel my main
16:18
Channel just hit 25 million views 25
16:21
million views blows my mind I remember a
16:24
time when if it hit a video Hit 100
16:27
views that that was the Pinnacle that if
16:31
100 people watch a video that would be
16:34
all I was striving to get so I far
16:36
surpassed that and it just blows my mind
16:39
how many people are interested in what
16:41
I'm showing what I'm going out and doing
16:44
the internet is a wonderful wonderful
16:46
thing I always say there's a lot of
16:47
negative things on the internet but this
16:50
proves this this whole circle of
16:53
goodness proves that there is a lot of
16:55
positivity and a lot of goodness on the
16:57
internet and I love you before that and
17:00
I'll see you guys tomorrow but only if
17:02
you
17:03
subscribed all right I'm going to go
17:06
take some more NyQuil eat some chicken
17:08
noodle soup drink some more orange juice
17:10
and then pass out into a coma I love you
17:13
