welcome everyone Adam the woo here as a
0:03
recording of This is Monday July 10 2023
0:05
a very late evening
0:09
on a Monday July 10 2023 in fact I think
0:12
it's like 11 p.m at a very busy day
0:15
accomplished quite a few things
0:17
just finished watching the Home Run
0:19
Derby where Randy rosarina left filter
0:22
for the Tampa Bay Rays
0:24
came one home run in the finals
0:28
of tying up I don't know what would
0:30
happen if it would have been a tie but I
0:32
think I think he hit 24 in the final
0:34
round went through a couple different
0:36
rounds to go up against Flag Junior
0:39
and it came really close
0:41
Randy or rosarina almost won the Home
0:43
Run Derby at the All-Star game that's
0:46
going up well All-Star week that's going
0:48
on in Seattle I chose not to go out
0:51
there I thought about yeah I've never
0:52
been to an All-Star game maybe I should
0:54
fly to Seattle but I have to have some
0:56
home time so
0:58
sometimes I have to I don't say force
1:00
myself but sometimes I just have to
1:01
attempt
1:03
to stay put and pick and choose what I'm
1:06
going to do what I'm not going to do and
1:09
decided not to go out there for that but
1:10
it's pretty neat to see it
1:12
you know on the on the phone speaking of
1:15
I have got a new cell phone today a
1:19
iPhone which I always use iPhone by the
1:21
way I'm inviting you to join me as
1:25
I peruse
1:27
around celebration at night
1:32
oh this is gonna be a very short and
1:34
sweet and quick
1:36
episode just wanted to kind of chime in
1:40
before hitting the hay
1:46
join me
1:46
shall you yeah I can say I am now a
1:49
proud owner of an iPhone I've always
1:52
used an iPhone I got my first cell phone
1:53
in 2003
1:55
it wasn't an iPhone it was just like a
1:57
regular cell phone and then
1:59
kind of morphed up and uh ended up
2:01
getting the iPhones as they came out
2:04
over the course of the years and the
2:06
last phone I had before the one I just
2:08
purchased today
2:09
was I believe an iPhone 8 or 9.
2:12
I don't even remember it's uh it
2:14
definitely had some issues it was not
2:15
charging for about the last month
2:18
I would have to take the phone
2:20
and attempt to plug the cord into the
2:23
bottom and I would have to lay the phone
2:25
down just at a certain angle I'd have to
2:28
have the cord in the bottom It wouldn't
2:30
connect right it was just very stressful
2:33
that I wasn't able to charge the phone
2:34
unless it was just laying you know next
2:38
to like an end table or something you
2:39
know all night charging during the day I
2:42
couldn't walk and charge it at the same
2:43
time I couldn't like have the charger in
2:45
my pocket and external charger or
2:46
anything like that it just run its
2:49
course it was on this last leg if you
2:50
will and I needed to get a new one and I
2:52
got a new one today and I got the iPhone
2:55
I believe it's called the 14 plus
2:58
and
2:59
there's a couple things that I have
3:01
never utilized before
3:03
that I made I mean I just feel like an
3:05
old-timer thinking like oh this old
3:08
technology is amazing that's kind of how
3:11
I feel today with this new phone for
3:13
example I have never used cordless
3:16
headphones before these are cordless I
3:19
always have like the kind of old-timey
3:21
with the cord connected to the phone but
3:24
I am in the world of Bluetooth now
3:27
it sounds pretty wild because I know
3:30
what you're thinking you're thinking
3:31
that's been around for a decade or more
3:34
well I just now finally connected
3:37
Bluetooth to my car because before I
3:40
would just cord it into the car to
3:42
listen to the yeah
3:43
podcasts and things like that would have
3:45
to be connected now in rental cars it
3:47
would but for some reason in my own
3:49
personal vehicle I never connected to
3:51
the Bluetooth until today with this
3:52
phone
3:53
and these are also connected to that as
3:56
well and I have gone back to the gym
4:00
today was day one of 50.
4:05
now I mentioned this subtly a couple
4:07
days ago and I kind of posted on social
4:09
media my Instagram that I posted
4:12
semi-regularly on usually I'll post
4:14
Instagram story that's Adam the woo atw
4:17
been slacking well not slacking over the
4:20
whole year I've lost a lot of weight
4:21
this year but in the last month
4:23
I've been slacking and I've gotten back
4:25
on track and I'm going to take it a
4:26
little more intensely than I have taken
4:29
it in the past I'm gonna just pretty
4:31
much State this is going to be no cheat
4:33
days at all no excuses no cheat days
4:38
just staying the course every day I will
4:42
be posting on my Instagram adamu atw
4:44
I'll be posting stories
4:46
of me on a treadmill
4:48
I have a membership to a local gym and
4:51
when I am going to be traveling which
4:52
I'm going to be hitting the road pretty
4:53
soon I most most of the time will stay
4:56
in hotels that have a treadmill and a
4:58
gym and I'm going to be working out and
5:00
doing the treadmill each and every day
5:02
for the next 50 days I started today I
5:05
already posted about it and I'm not
5:07
going to miss a day for some reason a
5:09
place does not have a treadmill or a gym
5:12
or I'm staying somewhere but does not
5:13
have one I will figure something out and
5:15
I will you know run up and down flights
5:17
of stairs I'll document that but I'm
5:18
definitely going to try to get lots of
5:19
cardio each day it's not on this is so
5:22
late at night if this is not
5:25
not even on in fact take a look this is
5:27
the new phone let me lock through the
5:29
lock screen
5:30
it is 11 08 P.M Monday as I stated July
5:34
10th
5:36
2023 now now it's 1109 there's me up in
5:39
the DVC Lounge from a few years ago
5:41
that's my my unlock photo screen so the
5:44
thing that's interesting too is I do
5:45
have a charger that can plug into the
5:47
bottom of this
5:48
that I can charge I have one in the car
5:50
and I also have one that I'm going to
5:51
take with me you know I'll have that in
5:53
like luggage and also be in my place
5:55
here but there's also a charger
5:58
that you can put you can connect onto
6:01
the back of this that you know you can
6:03
kind of juice up throughout the course
6:05
of the day so you really don't ever have
6:07
to plug anything into the bottom of it
6:09
through the beauty of the Bluetooth
6:10
listen to the speakers so really you
6:12
could get away with never even plugging
6:14
anything into the bottom of this now
6:15
when I film my videos of filming on the
6:17
Canon g7x I take the SD card out of my
6:21
camera and I plug it into a converter
6:23
that dumps into this and puts it puts
6:25
the Clips in my camera roll but who
6:27
knows maybe there will come a day when I
6:30
just start filming on the phone that
6:32
might happen I might that might actually
6:33
might happen and if that were to happen
6:36
I would never even really need to plug
6:37
anything into the bottom of that
6:45
there's someone riding a little
6:45
motorcycle or a motorized bike it's like
6:47
a it's a bike that's like motorized it's
6:50
not a motorcycle I guess it is but he's
6:52
doing a wheelie over there
6:59
honking
6:59
celebration at night at this time of
7:01
night is not something I really
7:03
I'm ever out in I'm usually like hitting
7:05
the hay by this time frame but here's
7:07
the charger so I had it in my back
7:09
pocket so you got this charger here and
7:11
then you just connect it to the back so
7:12
let me link it up now watch this
7:15
okay connect it and there it goes
7:17
charging 76 charging and it just kind of
7:22
sits like a magnet onto the back of this
7:25
and it takes up very little space
7:29
very convenient
7:31
what'll they think of next
7:33
I feel like
7:40
uh technology you would think with what
7:40
I do and just kind of like how I live my
7:42
life that I wouldn't be up on this stuff
7:43
but I was just like
7:45
the salesman when I went in and I was
7:46
like I need to get a new phone and the
7:48
things he was telling me about some of
7:49
this new stuff I was like wait what yeah
7:52
so who knows what the future holds maybe
7:54
well right now I'm holding the phone and
7:57
one day I might not be holding a camera
7:59
maybe I could possibly start filming
8:02
on this
8:04
that's a possibility probably makes
8:05
things a little bit easier I don't know
8:06
how the wind noise would work because I
8:09
have like the little fluffy thing on the
8:11
top of the camera which kind of keeps it
8:12
but I've seen some footage of people
8:14
film with the newer phones and it takes
8:17
great photos
8:19
and I don't film in 4k so people always
8:21
ask why don't you film in 4k I like the
8:22
1080
8:24
simply because of the routine of
8:26
uploading every day it's just sometimes
8:28
when you get out you don't have like a
8:30
good cell phone service or a good Wi-Fi
8:32
to upload on the regular of every day
8:34
and you're uploading in 4k which I guess
8:36
that means is four times the size of a
8:39
1080. it would just take way too long it
8:41
really got really dark here underneath
8:43
underneath the palm tree but I might
8:45
start filming with the phone maybe one
8:48
day I could do a a test on the thing I
8:50
do like about the g7x is the low light
8:53
is really good
8:55
you know so like if you kind of have it
8:57
down here
8:58
it'll kind of calibrate itself and it'll
9:00
look really good with the water
9:01
glistening there on the fountain
9:07
so it's good for like haunt season and
9:07
the audio is really good what I've
9:08
noticed with cell phones
9:10
if I'm talking into a cell phone it
9:12
sounds good and I've you know I've also
9:14
seen or had friends that use cell phones
9:16
and when they're talking into the camera
9:18
sounds great but anyone that's like two
9:21
or more feet away that they're talking
9:24
to you can't really hear them very well
9:26
where with the Canon g7x that I'm using
9:28
now the audio is really really really
9:30
good so a person could be you know four
9:33
or five feet over there and you're
9:34
hearing them almost as clear as you're
9:36
hearing me which you don't really get
9:38
that with the cell phones with the
9:39
quality
9:40
probably the quality on this is gonna
9:42
even be better or the same
9:44
of the camera that I just bought to get
9:46
rid of the little smudge that was on the
9:49
last one where a lot of people thought
9:50
there was a a piece of lint or just like
9:53
a dirt spot on there that needed to be
9:55
wipe off the lens but really with just a
9:57
dead pixel in there that
9:59
had kind of Fallen by the wayside and
10:01
there's no really no way to correct it
10:02
without getting a new camera I probably
10:04
purchased
10:05
a dozen to 15 Canon g7xes over the
10:09
course of my my uh YouTube life I've
10:12
used a lot more cameras than just the
10:15
one I'm using now but this is the one
10:16
I'm most comfortable with
10:19
but they're getting a lot harder to find
10:27
like you used to be able to go to a Best
10:27
Buy and just walk in and buy one
10:29
and now they're getting very difficult
10:31
difficult to find and
10:33
I usually carry a packet around in my in
10:35
my pocket
10:37
or in the fanny pack when I'm wearing
10:38
that of like four or five batteries for
10:40
the Canon g7x and I lost it the other
10:43
day so I keep a few extra at home
10:45
because I've lost the packs before so I
10:47
had like four or five cameras and
10:48
they're not four or five camera
10:50
batteries and they're not cheap so I had
10:53
to end up going to Best Buy and buy two
10:55
or three more batteries
10:57
so I had two or three kind of stashed
10:59
away and I had to buy a couple more
11:01
so I think maybe the phone would be
11:03
easier
11:05
I don't know maybe I'll test it out
11:07
at some point one thing I like about the
11:10
phone as well
11:11
is I like showing things on the phone
11:14
and using the phone and making that part
11:18
of the video like if I want to show a
11:20
photo look something up show a screen
11:23
grab a screen capture something like
11:24
that from a film like any kind of an
11:26
article I can show that or I wouldn't be
11:29
able to if I was filming on this so
11:32
that's one of the reasons I really like
11:34
having an actual camera
11:37
more than like filming on the phone
11:41
back in the day I used to film I used to
11:42
film on the phone
11:43
all the time yeah I went through a time
11:45
I think it was like 2016-17 where I
11:47
filmed every video on the phone I also
11:50
edit on my phone I use iMovie on the
11:51
phone to edit
11:56
yeah it's just pretty basic it's pretty
11:56
all my videos are pretty pretty simple
11:58
and basic
12:05
just something anybody can do and a lot
12:05
of people do it now a lot of people
12:07
realize how really kind of easy it is to
12:10
just pick up a camera pick up a phone
12:12
edit
12:14
put an episode out
12:16
it's kind of a glorious thing
12:18
this uh the internet and YouTube that
12:20
anyone can do it anybody if they wanna
12:23
just take the uh
12:25
take the leap
12:27
grab a camera
12:28
and learn to edit just even just like a
12:30
rough edit
12:31
if I trust me if I could do it anyone
12:34
can do it
12:35
you know I think that's like kind of a
12:37
cliche thing to say when people ask you
12:39
know advice or opinions on anything but
12:42
yeah I I don't know it's like just
12:45
as long as you have an interest like you
12:47
have a something that you're passionate
12:49
about and you want to go out and show it
12:52
and document it I feel like people will
12:55
find it
12:56
because back before when I was used to
12:58
be in a band years and years and years
13:00
ago I was in a couple local bands
13:02
here in Central Florida punk bands
13:04
getting people to like listen to your
13:06
music and come to shows was like pulling
13:08
teeth and like twisting arms
13:10
and with YouTube you kind of just throw
13:12
it on well it a lot of the a lot of the
13:14
internet you just throw stuff out there
13:17
and people will find it like somehow
13:19
anyway I want to keep this very short
13:21
but basically I just wanted to let
13:22
everyone know that's watching this
13:24
thanks for watching by the way really
13:26
appreciate anyone that Tunes in on a
13:28
regular basis I try to put consistent
13:30
uploads out there pretty much daily I
13:33
did the daily Vlog for 1911 days and
13:37
then I stopped back in 2017 took a long
13:40
break to do a few big projects that
13:43
slowly started doing obiana I missed
13:45
days occasionally but I don't really
13:46
like missing days of like having the the
13:48
formula they can't all be home runs no
13:51
pun intended somewhere in a baseball cap
13:53
you know sometimes sometimes they're uh
13:55
they're heavily researched items or
13:57
travel blogs and sometimes they're just
13:59
you know just kind of simple me just
14:02
expressing what I'm thinking and just
14:04
just kind of talking to everyone out
14:06
there
14:07
you know through the through the camera
14:08
lens there's like do
14:10
it's like night time well actually it
14:12
probably rained
14:16
but the biggest thing is I just want to
14:16
let everyone know that I'm back again
14:19
I don't want to say that I fell
14:20
completely off the rails with the diet
14:23
last time because I am way down of what
14:26
I weighed
14:27
earlier this year I've done really good
14:29
but I have gonna commit to doing 50 days
14:33
in a row on a treadmill eating less
14:36
drinking a lot of water a little bit of
14:38
coffee each day maybe two coffees a day
14:40
one in the morning one in the afternoon
14:42
a little bit of cream of sugar don't
14:43
don't drink lattes anymore
14:45
just regular coffee little tiny bit
14:48
cream of sugar just enough to give it a
14:50
little taste but maybe one day I'll
14:52
probably get to the point where I just
14:54
drink it like straight black I don't
14:55
know I could probably get there because
14:57
I'm getting acclimated like even
14:58
Starbucks which is right over there I
15:01
never thought I would ever enjoy the
15:03
taste of Starbucks that's so bitter and
15:04
burnt
15:05
but now I kind of like it I've drank
15:07
enough of it so maybe I could do without
15:09
cream of sugar
15:10
at some point
15:12
but I'm putting it out there just if
15:15
anyone wants to
15:17
maybe possibly be motivated help
15:19
motivate me I read the comments can't
15:21
reply to all of them but I do see good
15:24
bad and different good bad ugly negative
15:27
positive
15:28
I definitely see a lot of what is said
15:31
out there and sometimes even being held
15:35
accountable is a good thing so I like to
15:38
make a statement and I'm going to follow
15:40
through up it I said earlier
15:42
this year that I was going to be thin I
15:44
was trying to be thin by DragonCon which
15:46
is a convention that happens in Atlanta
15:48
early September I check into my hotel
15:51
the last couple days of August
15:53
50 days from right now I think it's 51
15:55
days so given my one my myself a one day
15:57
leeway on that but I marked it on the
16:00
calendar said all this couple days ago
16:02
but I really want to factually
16:05
pinpoint the date 50 days and I'm just
16:09
going to go for the Gusto and I'm gonna
16:12
do it
16:13
but if I don't do it I definitely like
16:14
to have people you know kind of chime in
16:16
and say what the heck man you uh you
16:18
didn't do what you said so and I would
16:20
say probably 95 of people are really
16:23
positive about any time you you know you
16:27
don't accomplish something and then you
16:28
try again then you always got that rare
16:31
amount of people that aren't very
16:33
positive and just will kind of lean the
16:37
other way and that's fine too
16:39
that should you know not not everyone's
16:41
going to become not be completely on
16:43
your side
16:44
and sometimes even what people will say
16:48
to your face or behind your back or
16:50
wherever sometimes
16:53
even though it might not be the way you
16:55
want people to approach criticism of you
16:58
sometimes you can take that and learn
17:01
from it and usually there's a degree of
17:03
truth to it you know it may not be a
17:05
hundred percent true to it but sometimes
17:07
there is a degree of truth to it that
17:09
you can learn from and you can think
17:10
okay they have a good point so I like
17:13
hearing this stuff
17:14
I posted a few things online you know
17:16
not on YouTube but on my Facebook
17:18
Facebook
17:19
slash the daily woo and then also on
17:22
that Instagram Adam that we atw on
17:24
Instagram and I already had a pretty
17:25
positive response of a lot of other
17:27
people who are also going to attempt to
17:30
do the 50-day
17:32
maybe not as Extreme as I'm doing it
17:34
but a lot of other people are already
17:36
kind of wanting to to
17:39
make a pinpoint and I I mentioned the
17:41
sin by DragonCon and I was noticing some
17:44
of the comments section of both those
17:45
other other platforms or even the video
17:48
I did the other day the people are
17:50
choosing something an event they're
17:52
going to go to so now it's become well
17:54
it's not it's not like an over
17:56
it hasn't become like a whole thing but
17:58
a few people
18:00
have have stated a sin by something that
18:03
they're going to you know a thin by
18:05
Christmas or a thin bike Thanksgiving or
18:08
a thin by this concert or a thin by this
18:12
hotel stay so I don't know maybe it is
18:15
good to have
18:17
a time frame in mind it has it good to
18:19
have like a pinpointed date in mind
18:21
because if you don't have a goal you
18:23
don't have like a purpose
18:25
you're just gonna slack at least for me
18:27
I'm gonna become like a slacker again
18:29
These Are Back to Future Strickland
18:31
reference all right so I got a new phone
18:35
very late night
18:37
now when you're watching this
18:39
it won't seem late to you because
18:43
it'll be in the morning you know as I
18:45
upload
18:47
a film during the day
18:49
at it at night well I usually I filmed
18:50
during the day but I filmed at night
18:51
this time and then I upload the next
18:53
morning early the next morning so you'll
18:54
be watching this
18:56
and he won't even realize it's night
18:58
time unless you live on the other side
18:59
of the world then you're going to be
19:00
like washing this at night there's a lot
19:03
of time differences I'm pretty tired
19:05
though I should probably
19:06
should probably hit the hay
19:18
the Vlog
19:18
technology
19:20
the palm of our hands
19:24
should I do a video should I film on to
19:27
try to do a
19:28
I don't know
19:30
yeah I'll see you next video the Vlog
19:32
is over definitely want to get inside
19:35
before midnight
19:37
that's when the monsters come out and to
19:40
be honest the low light on this looks
19:42
pretty dang good
19:43
look at that this is like
19:46
I'm showing it with
19:48
okay
19:49
so that's with the g7x
19:55
yeah they think the g7x is a little
19:55
crisper
20:04
but dang that looks good too
20:04
but obviously I'm filming the screen of
20:05
another one but
20:10
and there's another thing I don't like
20:10
about the g7x a lot of thing I love
20:12
about it this is bonus footage by the
20:14
way
20:15
so I'm going to kind of test it out when
20:17
you go when you turn like this sometimes
20:18
it goes out of focus I don't think the
20:20
foam will do that so I am going to end
20:23
the video the bonus footage by like just
20:25
showing it filming on the 14 pro Max
20:30
iPhone so this is the Canon g7x
20:33
kind of turning it slowly a little uh
20:37
360 if you will going by I got the bank
20:39
over there now you have to constantly be
20:42
kind of touching the screen so it does
20:43
not go out of focus of the bike again
20:45
that was
20:47
kind of honking her at us a different
20:48
guy
20:49
and now I will show it on the phone and
20:52
I will insert the phone clip
20:55
at the end of this because I've already
20:57
said I think I already said the the
20:58
video was over so bonus footage
21:07
filming in 30 frames a second at 1080.
21:07
you know what it might be a little more
21:10
illuminated
21:15
yeah so it's got a couple little glares
21:15
going off of the side there but it is
21:17
really well lit up
21:19
and I would imagine if I did film in 4k
21:22
okay I think I don't know I think the I
21:25
think the camera's a little better so
21:27
you don't get those you don't get those
21:28
like lens flares that are bouncing off
21:30
the lights
21:31
that's not that big of a deal just kind
21:33
of like a run gun Style
21:35
of just pulling the phone out might be
21:38
nice
21:40
that's it but yeah you see the house got
21:41
the little lights there but the focus is
21:43
good like I could turn really focus
21:45
quick like this it doesn't go out of
21:46
focus
21:47
it doesn't go out of focus like the g7x
21:49
wind noise might be a problem it's not
21:52
windy out here but no Focus issues
21:54
no focus when I turn that way fast
21:58
which is really nice
22:09
okay I've said so much yet I've said so
22:09
little so these are the things I got
22:11
earlier today at the these are the
22:13
wireless headphones
22:14
here's the phone
22:16
they are getting up getting the purple
22:18
phone these are the different Chargers I
22:20
got one for the car one for the home
22:23
and then uh the one that goes on the
22:25
back I should also mention that I have
22:28
not drink soda in like seven weeks I was
22:30
gonna make that
22:31
talk about that a little bit more but
22:32
kind of added in at the end yeah I'm
22:34
like six or seven weeks haven't really
22:36
counted the days but I have not drank
22:38
soda with the exception of maybe like
22:40
one little sip at Club cool at Epcot
22:43
like a month and a half ago
22:45
no soda I've drank a few like kind of
22:48
sweet drinks
22:49
where I had uh had like a Slurpee at 7
22:53
11 a month ago or so but I have not had
22:55
soda so again I feel pretty pretty happy
22:59
about
23:00
how I've been doing with things but I
23:03
just got to step it up a notch
23:05
yeah I've hacked away at one habit
23:08
and if I could just keep knocking off
23:10
bad habits and make them a consistent
23:13
thing then I'll be pretty
23:16
I'll be doing good life changes
23:18
so you know sometimes sometimes it's
23:21
like you call it a diet or a weight loss
23:22
plan but I am making life changes too so
23:26
I appreciate it
