welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:05
TGIF can you see it can you see that
0:09
it's the weekend in your eyesight
0:13
prepare yourself because it will be here
0:16
sooner than later and that my friends is
0:20
a good thing it's my second channel
0:22
daily blog channel it's the
0:30
daily I was in the shower this morning
0:30
and instead of singing in the shower or
0:32
humming in the shower I was recollecting
0:34
I was doing a little reminiscing soul
0:36
searching if you will and when I got out
0:38
of the shower I posted on Facebook
0:41
facebook/ thedailywoo or just Google
0:43
Adam the woo Facebook and you can see
0:45
what I post on that social network as
0:47
well as Adam the woo on Twitter and
0:50
Instagram I think I actually posted as
0:52
well Adam the woo on those two and then
0:54
the daily woo on Facebook my Community
0:57
page on there and those thoughts I
1:00
thought to myself self you should not
1:03
only type these out for people to see
1:05
but you should actually physically say
1:08
them and I have said these words a
1:11
multitude of times but today for some
1:13
reason it was just pressing on my heart
1:16
and into my soul and Columbo here Peter
1:19
Faulk himself is right here very close
1:22
to my heart as well because this is one
1:24
of my new favorite shirts someone sent
1:25
me this a while back whoever sent me
1:27
this I really appreciate this I love
1:30
love this Columbo shirt just one more
1:32
thing just one more thing just one more
1:34
thing that's what Columbo would always
1:37
say but these words I should ZIP this up
1:40
because Peter Faulk is going to distract
1:42
us can you breathe in there
1:44
Peter oh he sound kind of like Darth
1:46
Vader there for a minute actually we
1:47
should probably leave Peter faul exposed
1:50
that way he can actually get some fresh
1:51
air the words I wanted to say to you
1:54
today are thank you two simple words
1:57
thank you which means you are being
2:00
thanked by me because I was thinking and
2:04
I always think about this but today for
2:06
some odd reason when I woke up maybe I
2:08
had a dream about my life how my life
2:11
has actually come full circle if you
2:14
will going through bad times sad times
2:18
times of not really tragedy so much but
2:21
self tragedy
2:23
where you fall on times that aren't so
2:26
great and everything comes around full
2:29
circle if you just like George McFly if
2:31
you put your mind to it you can
2:33
accomplish anything and I would not be
2:35
able to accomplish what I have
2:37
accomplished thus far without you guys
2:40
joining me on this journey here the
2:43
daily woo Journey which is what the
2:45
channel that you're watching now is and
2:48
the Adam the woo Channel which is kind
2:50
of how this all started to begin with
2:53
youtube/ Adam the woo was my first
2:55
channel and then I thought to myself I
2:56
should actually start a secondary
2:58
Channel a vlog channel to give you guys
3:00
a little bit more insight into my life
3:03
what I do on a daily basis not so much
3:06
Adventures not so much theme parks not
3:08
so much abandoned locations not so much
3:11
roadside attractions not so much movie
3:13
locations at is as is prom prominent
3:17
promised and prominent over on the Adam
3:20
the woo Channel but more of an intimate
3:22
look more of a unedited Vlog more of a
3:26
personal experience of what I am doing
3:28
in my life that's why I started this
3:31
Channel The Daily woo so I have two
3:34
channels and I really want to say thank
3:36
you for those that follow me on both
3:38
channels as well as the social networks
3:40
the kind words that you guys give me
3:43
those that have subscribed or hopefully
3:45
will future
3:47
subscribe it's amazing to think how far
3:50
we have come together it's amazing to
3:52
think that I traveled around in my van
3:55
for nearly 3 years I started doing
3:58
YouTube in late 20 10 and I use that
4:01
term starting doing YouTube very
4:04
frivolously because I really wasn't
4:06
doing it that much I was just going out
4:08
on the weekends I was still working a
4:10
normal job I worked at a feed store I
4:12
was loading feed and what does that mean
4:14
it means I was working Monday through
4:16
Friday typical Bankers hours except it
4:19
was only it wasn't a bank it was a bank
4:22
of feed for horses and cows and chickens
4:25
and goats and other creatures not of the
4:29
wild but the domesticated Sense on a
4:32
farm and basically what I would do is
4:34
people would come in I would ring them
4:35
up with the register I did this for 5
4:36
and a half years before that I worked at
4:38
different grocery stores Publix wind
4:40
Dixie Walmart Super Center I worked at a
4:42
video store for a while I worked for a
4:45
long time in retail I am the retail King
4:49
if you will even though I never owned my
4:50
own business I did a lot of retail
4:53
worked for a lot of people and the last
4:55
one I worked at was a feed store people
4:56
would come in I would ring them up at
4:58
the register they would say I want four
4:59
bags of horse feed and six bales of hay
5:01
they would pull their truck around to
5:03
the hay trailer I would load the hay in
5:05
and then I would load the horse feed in
5:07
and as I got older it became very
5:09
strenuous on my back because I was
5:11
loading three to four tons of feed now
5:13
that is no exaggeration I am really big
5:16
on crunching numbers and I actually did
5:17
the math on how many bags of 50 lb feet
5:20
a day I was hoisting on my shoulders I
5:22
would put sometimes two sometimes even
5:24
three bags of feed depending on how busy
5:26
the store was load it out to the car
5:29
throw from the back room onto my
5:31
shoulder walk out to the person's
5:32
vehicle and toss it in the back of the
5:34
van and as I was working at that
5:36
establishment I thought to myself I
5:38
really need a life change not so much
5:42
because I am not into the horse feed
5:45
thing it was very interesting how I even
5:47
got that job I was unemployed for about
5:49
a month or two in St Cloud Florida I was
5:50
out garage sailing with my mother we
5:52
passed the store and it said now hiring
5:55
I thought that is not something that I
5:57
am into I did not grow up on a farm I
5:59
had never ridden a horse at that point
6:02
or since to be honest with you actually
6:05
I take that back I did ride a horse one
6:07
time when I was very young and I was on
6:09
the back of a horse no saddle this is a
6:10
funny story I was with my cousins and I
6:13
they were like get on the horse get on
6:15
the horse Adam so I jumped on the horse
6:17
and we were gallivanting through this
6:19
field and where does the horse run on
6:21
this huge open empty field of
6:23
nothingness directly towards a tree
6:27
similar to that one except the tree
6:29
branch was lower so what happens to me
6:32
the horse that I cannot control because
6:34
I am not a horse offici anado goes right
6:38
underneath the tree and the limb hits my
6:40
chest just like this the limb hits my
6:43
childlike chest and I fall off the back
6:47
of the horse and I fell into a pile I am
6:50
not kidding about this I fell in I fell
6:53
into a pile of horse manure I hate
6:58
manure horse dung was all over my back
7:03
horse poop my cousin started laughing so
7:06
what did I do covered in horse poop I
7:08
ran up to my cousin and I gave him the
7:10
biggest bear hug and wallowed all the
7:12
horse poop all over him it was quite an
7:16
experience that I was not happy about
7:18
and I think he was not happy for
7:20
laughing and mocking my misery that I
7:22
had at that horse so after that I was
7:23
kind of scarred when it come to riding
7:25
horses I would like to ride horses again
7:27
I have just not gotten around to it so
7:29
all this ties into me working at that
7:31
feed store as I was at the feed store I
7:34
would tell other people that I was
7:35
friends with at the feed store one day I
7:38
am going to quit my job I'm going to
7:40
have no money once my van is paid off
7:43
once I move out of my apartment so that
7:45
was the game plan I moved out of my
7:46
apartment sold all my stuff that I own
7:48
all my Earthly possessions save for
7:50
maybe a box or two that I put in my
7:53
mom's closet in the guest bedroom so I
7:56
moved out of my apartment that had a lot
7:57
of fantastic things that I collected
7:59
over the years I gave up my Earthly
8:02
possessions and I took all the money
8:04
that I was focusing towards my rent and
8:06
I paid my van off once my van was paid
8:08
off I had no money in savings not a
8:11
scent not a dime not an iota of cash and
8:15
I moved into my van I started sleeping
8:17
in my van and it was an interesting
8:20
experience cuz I did that for probably
8:23
67 months until all the money that I was
8:26
allotting towards my apartment I was
8:28
putting to pay my van off paid my van
8:30
off two weeks after my van was paid off
8:33
two weeks to the day I put my two weeks
8:36
notice in to the feed store and that was
8:38
the last time I ever actually worked for
8:42
someone for a retail establishment so my
8:45
retail days were over now I know you're
8:47
thinking that's a heck of a story thumbs
8:50
up heck yeah you did it you
8:52
said Take This Job and Shove It To The
8:56
Man if you
8:57
will and how that sounds neat and cool
9:00
and exciting it was not that neat and
9:03
cool on a lot of those nights when I was
9:05
sleeping in a freezing cold van driving
9:09
around like I was backtrack May
9:10
backtrack a little bit late 2010 I was
9:13
doing videos on the weekend I'd work at
9:14
the feed store i' do videos on the
9:15
weekend no one had subscribed no one
9:17
cared about my videos no one was
9:19
watching what I was doing and I was just
9:22
doing it because I enjoyed doing videos
9:25
enjoyed exploring abandoned places going
9:28
to Walt Disney World going to theme
9:30
Parts roadside attractions all this was
9:32
of interest to me and I thought I will
9:34
have something
9:35
interesting that I can look back on
9:38
later in my life and actually watch it
9:41
or maybe show my future kids grandkids
9:44
friends family whoever acquaintances
9:47
look what I did look at this what I did
9:49
even though no one has seen these videos
9:52
this is what I accomplish this is what I
9:54
did with my now current free time now
9:58
that I was not working a job now the
10:00
problem with not having a job is having
10:02
no money and having no income the good
10:04
thing is I was completely 100% debt free
10:07
no credit cards no rent no van payment
10:11
so that was good I saved a little bit of
10:12
money and I paid off my car insurance
10:14
for 6 months in advance my cell phone 6
10:16
months in advance so all I needed was
10:18
gas money so for that first year
10:21
probably from late 2010 until early mid
10:27
2011 I basically was just filming stuff
10:30
on the weekends I was continuing to work
10:31
in then I quit I went on tour with my
10:33
band got back off of tour for two weeks
10:35
on my band instead of going back to work
10:38
I had already quit that job so now I had
10:40
my whole life ahead of me my time was
10:44
allotted to one thing Adventure videos
10:47
doing YouTube videos even though no one
10:49
was watching this did not stop me this
10:51
did not discourage me at this point from
10:54
actually filming videos and going out
10:56
into the world and exploring and
10:58
witnessing
10:59
the things that were around me and
11:02
around us
11:03
vicariously so in 2011 I know I'm I'm
11:07
very long- winded in this one late 2011
11:10
it was around mid October 2011 my friend
11:14
Ginger and I a lot of people have asked
11:15
how gender is doing she actually moved
11:17
to Arizona she had a little baby and is
11:20
now living I think with her boyfriend or
11:21
got married her husband she is doing
11:23
very well me and my friend Ginger at the
11:26
time went off and did a road for five
11:30
five weeks from about a week before
11:33
Halloween to Thanksgiving maybe two
11:36
weeks before Halloween to Thanksgiving
11:38
2011 I had just hit 1,000 subscribers on
11:42
the adom the woo Channel this is way
11:44
before this channel that you're watching
11:46
the daily woo Channel had started me and
11:49
her went around the country basically
11:51
went around basically the southern
11:53
states Florida Mississippi Georgia
11:56
Tennessee all those areas North Carolina
11:59
South Carolina 5 weeks I was on the road
12:02
we had absolutely no money at all had
12:05
the cooler in my van we slept in my van
12:08
we did not get one hotel the entire time
12:10
we did not eat out anywhere the entire
12:12
time all we lived on was like tuna fish
12:15
sandwiches bread snacks peanuts things
12:19
of that nature out of the cooler it was
12:22
very cold especially getting into the
12:23
mountains of Tennessee in mid November
12:27
it was freezing some of those nights it
12:28
was 20
12:29
de bundled up in a 0 degre sleeping bag
12:32
it was very cold by the way it rained
12:34
here in Southern California last night I
12:36
think that might be the fifth time since
12:38
I have been here since New Year's Eve
12:40
that it's actually rained so look at
12:42
this it's actually rain you're
12:43
witnessing the rain so in those times
12:47
driving around in my van sleeping in my
12:49
van filming editing and this is way
12:52
before I had Wi-Fi obviously I wasn't
12:55
living anywhere so I had to resort to
12:57
sitting at a McDonald's edit I would be
12:59
in a McDonald's editing for hours people
13:02
around me children yelling screaming the
13:04
employees looking at me thinking there's
13:07
no loitering sir stop loitering well I
13:10
was doing my duty and I was editing down
13:13
those original main Channel videos and
13:15
you're wondering what are the original
13:17
main Channel videos Six Flags New
13:19
Orleans ghost town in the sky what else
13:23
that I do on that route Heritage USA the
13:25
abandoned water park in South car not
13:27
water park the abandoned Christian theme
13:30
park in South Carolina as well as The
13:33
Wizard of Oz Land The Land of Oz I did
13:37
Friday the 13th part six filming
13:39
locations and probably five or six or
13:41
seven other ones a lot of those videos
13:43
now have a ton of views but when I first
13:46
did them they had no views no one was
13:49
watching them like I was saying I just
13:51
hit 1,000 subscribers sleeping in a cold
13:55
van thinking to myself on certain
13:57
occasions well after that let me let me
13:59
progress a little bit after those road
14:02
trips with ginger I started doing road
14:04
trips on my own I continued doing road
14:07
trips traveling all across the country
14:09
coming to the West Coast going back to
14:11
the east coast going to the northern
14:13
East Coast the Northern West Coast all
14:16
over the place traveled constantly for
14:19
all these years and in the first year or
14:21
two probably the first two years of
14:23
traveling sleeping in my van I would be
14:26
in a van my van the van that you see the
14:28
Ford E150 that now has about 180,000 M
14:31
on it I would pull into a parking spot
14:34
simply just like this one close the
14:36
curtains and I would sleep for the
14:38
evening sometimes a police officer would
14:40
knock on the door or a security guard
14:42
for the parking lot for the city and
14:44
tell me hey buddy get lost and as in my
14:47
sleep de deprived tiredness I would back
14:50
out of a parking spot and travel onto
14:52
another TR town to try to find a parking
14:55
spot that I could actually get 40 Winks
14:58
I would thinkk think to myself is this
15:00
something that I really want to do is
15:03
this something that I should be doing
15:06
and there were a lot of naysayers a lot
15:08
of people who knew me in my personal
15:11
life that were naysayers there were a
15:14
lot of people who did not know me at all
15:16
that were
15:17
naysayers and the interesting thing
15:20
about the naysayers is the same people
15:23
or the same types of people who were
15:25
naysayers then about why are you
15:27
quitting your job why are you a vagrant
15:30
why are you some sort of beatnick that's
15:31
driving around the country doing dumb
15:34
videos filming dumb idiotic things those
15:38
same types of people are the same types
15:41
of people now that are criticizing me
15:43
for not doing that every day it's very
15:46
interesting how you create something and
15:48
you start doing
15:50
something and it kind of becomes a thing
15:53
other people start to emulate the idea
15:56
that you had start to do what you were
15:59
doing it becomes a whole circle of
16:00
goodness which is actually absolutely
16:03
awesome but it becomes I don't want to
16:05
use the word trendy but it becomes
16:07
something that everyone starts to do so
16:11
looking back on that it's interesting to
16:14
think how much
16:16
criticism a lot of criticism that I got
16:18
in the very beginning a lot of really
16:21
negative comments about how as a loser
16:24
how I needed to get a job how what I was
16:27
doing was completely moronic all these
16:32
images of these comments and emails
16:35
people would send me are forever lodged
16:37
in my head and I will never forget those
16:39
emails but what do you do in times of
16:41
strife in times of negativity in times
16:43
of unpositive when people are giving you
16:46
unpositive comments you push on you go
16:49
forward and that is what I did I did not
16:52
stop I continued on and I went from
16:54
1,000 subscribers and until what I have
16:57
now which is far more than a th000
17:00
subscribers and just like then I am
17:02
still convinced that this is only the
17:04
beginning we have only begun our
17:06
relationship together and I just want to
17:08
say thank you thank you for subscribing
17:12
thank you for watching thank you for
17:13
coming around to my mindset thank you
17:16
for understanding what I do seeing what
17:19
I do as basically something that is
17:22
actually good that is put into the world
17:24
and not a negative loser ristic type of
17:28
thing I want to thank you for your
17:30
support for your positive comments for
17:33
all the people in the past who have
17:34
donated when I was on these road trips
17:36
that would donate to the Donate link on
17:39
the website adamthe wo.com as well as
17:42
when I started Adam the woo.
17:43
spreadshirt.com all the people that
17:45
would actually buy T-shirts all that
17:48
would fuel the woo keep the van
17:52
moving and it it's absolutely humbling
17:55
to think how far I have come and we have
17:59
come together because let's face it
18:02
honestly I probably would not have
18:04
continued doing this on the extreme
18:07
basis that I have doing Vlogs without
18:09
missing a day if there was not an
18:11
interest an extreme interest definitely
18:15
helps definitely helps Propel the
18:18
creativity and the positivity so never
18:21

that video which I think I did at the
19:05
beginning of
19:07
2011 watch that and then see how far I
19:12
have come along and that is why I'm
19:14
completely exuberant and happy and
19:17
joyous and thankful and humbled that my
19:20
life has come this
19:22
far it's all because you guys are with
19:24
me seriously I really appreciate the
19:27
support I really appreciate you guys
19:28
watching watching I know I've done a lot
19:30
of thank you Vlogs in the past I will
19:32
not continue to stop doing them I will
19:35
not I will not stop doing them that's
19:37
what I'm trying to say I will probably
19:39
every few months do a vlog like this
19:41
because it is important to reassure
19:44
those that watch my Vlogs on a daily
19:46
basis or a semi daily basis that you are
19:50
just as important as I am I get a lot of
19:52
support from you guys I get a lot of
19:54
positive feedback saying I don't know
19:56
what I would do if you stop doing Vlogs
19:58
Adam
19:59
well the key is the point is the real
20:01
truth behind your statement that you
20:04
just made even though I'm putting words
20:05
in your mouth is I do not know what I
20:08
would do without you and never forget
20:11
that thank you very much love you guys
20:13
and I mean it bye
