is it an interesting how a fish is
0:04
promoting a bait shop what does he want
0:08
to be caught just a local fisherman out
0:11
for a pleasure cruise through eel
0:14
infested waters welcome everyone Adam
0:16
though boom here it's my second channel
0:19
daily vlog Channel it's the daily on the
0:29
edge of the water at a place called Sea
0:33
Wolf Park as designated by this old
0:37
dining area / Convention Center meeting
0:42
arena that has fallen on hard times and
0:46
seen better days definitely a very
0:48
interesting design I bet back in its
0:51
prime this place was quite awesome
0:54
but what really fascinates me out here
0:56
at the very end of this fishing pier and
0:59
once I reach the end will be the closest
1:00
possible spot to seeing this unless I
1:04
was on a boat or decided to go for a
1:06
swim I'm talking about this gargantuan
1:12
abandoned sea craft and I know you're
1:16
saying oh no Adam there is another way
1:18
to get close and you are correct the
1:21
majest so I'm gonna take the drone up in
1:24
the air far away from this dock take it
1:28
up and get a bird's-eye view if you will
1:30
of the SS Selma christened in 1919 but
1:36
only lasted about a year as an oil
1:38
freight liner before crashing and
1:41
cracking into a jetty it was towed here
1:46
into the middle of this waterway a very
1:50
good way away from the shore I might add
1:52
so far in fact that you have to be a
1:54
heck of a good swimmer to paddle out
1:57
there to get a better view if you want
1:58
to climb around on that thing
2:00
then you better put your little floaties
2:02
on at least that's what I would use
2:05
originally she was built to be used in
2:07
World War two and after the accident she
2:10
was brought to Galveston to be fixed
2:12
that never came to fruition and now she
2:15
sits here forever I have to say the
2:20
majestic the DJI phantom4 I love this
2:24
thing especially how it handled in the
2:27
heavy winds flying over water for
2:31
probably three quarters to e-baby even a
2:33
mile in distance to get shots of the
2:37
boat that was insane I was kind of
2:39
hesitant about doing it thought maybe I
2:41
would lose it in the water and it pulled
2:43
through the Majestic you never
2:46
disappoint you never disappoint okay I
2:50
take that back
2:51
it has disappointed me but very very
2:53
rarely more undisciplined than
2:56
disappointments that thing for real just
2:58
look how far that is out there this is a
3:01
shot from the shoreline and make sure if
3:03
you're standing here to put away your
3:06
glass containers or the snakes will get
3:08
you what's up fellows camera shy huh
3:14
yeah I get it not too far away on the
3:17
same property is this submarine and I'm
3:21
gonna go inside of that impressive most
3:25
impressive wristbands required beyond
3:28
this point good thing good thing I have
3:31
one there's even a torpedo being
3:34
launched from the front called Al's
3:37
torpedo USS Kavala
3:39
and on her first war patrol she sank an
3:42
IGN aircraft carrier that was used in
3:45
the attack of Pearl Harbor built in 1943
3:49
in commissioned February 1944 311 feet
3:54
long I am now walking along the top deck
3:57
this would all be submerged underwater
4:00
when this thing heads to the deepest
4:04
door and stairwell lead straight down
4:07
into the nether regions of the sub gotta
4:15
wash your head coming down here
4:24
some of the sleeping arrangements here
4:24
on these cots and this is the torpedo
4:30
room
4:37
look at this there they are the
4:37
torpedoes these are the instruments that
4:40
makes everything work
4:43
look at those buttons torpedo ready this
4:47
is where the officers would sit and do
4:49
their planning right here at this table
4:52
and there's the call box over there I'm
4:54
not really sure what this does though so
4:56
this little crank thing do you have to
4:58
turn this while you're talking through
5:01
that to get it to work these are the
5:06
captain's quarters the sink they're the
5:09
bed very humble accommodations looks
5:12
like now we're getting into the nerve
5:14
center the nitty gritty
5:16
the underbelly of this thing what's
5:19
incredible to me is that every one of
5:21
these knobs these turn switches these
5:24
wheels these levers has a purpose this
5:31
ladder would take you up to the bridge
5:32
the periscope and the attack center
5:36
right through there but they have it
5:38
locked with this chain and deadbolt
5:42
let's be honest no one really uses
5:44
periscope anymore this is the kitchen
5:46
and whenever they were ready to eat they
5:48
would prepare the food there and serve
5:51
it here in the mess hall it looks like
5:54
they also had some bad gamin tables and
5:57
checkerboard and chess set up it would
5:59
be an unusual feeling to know that
6:01
you're slumbering many many feet under
6:04
the water this is the engine room you
6:11
got to watch your head me being a tall
6:13
guy it's very easy to crank your skull
6:17
and they'll hold steel beams being in
6:19
here really kind of makes you a
6:20
claustrophobic there's not a lot of room
6:23
to maneuver not a lot of height not a
6:26
lot of width in between the walls and
6:29
the gears
6:31
tight quarters to get very good at
6:33
thinking thin governor controls for all
6:37
main engines you would turn these pull
6:40
these down pretty much through the
6:41
majority of the submarine
6:44
I had to hunch over I had to walk with
6:46
like a little bit of a stoop six foot
6:49
three sitting adjacent is the USS
6:51
Stewart also on land used in World War
6:55
two this ship was fortunate enough not
6:57
to have any casualties on board how
7:01
would you like to have the
7:02
responsibility of sitting way up there
7:06
as the lookout here's where the crew
7:13
slept and ate this is the mess hall the
7:18
toilets are very interesting you can see
7:21
there are three of them side-by-side and
7:24
it goes into a trough and the trough
7:27
spills all the wastes down to the end
7:30
so you're basically sitting right on top
7:33
of somebody else's number two
7:48
there they go
7:48
just two ships passing in the night
7:51
arrow go the day it's a state I'm just
7:55
two ships passing in the day
8:08
what could have been what may have been
8:08
we'll never know just went over a
8:15
drawbridge it was down of course there's
8:19
a very interesting urban legend right up
8:21
here at this Medical School campus there
8:23
was a man a long time ago who owned a
8:25
lot of property he told his family never
8:28
sell my land after he died the family
8:32
disobeyed his orders
8:34
and sold the land anyway this made him
8:37
very unhappy and now it is said that you
8:40
can see him inside the walls of the
8:44
building I'm not making this up even
8:47
more unusual than that those that see it
8:50
say he moves from section to section
8:54
from wall to wall simply given the name
8:58
the face you never know where he's going
9:02
to appear
9:03
I think he's tucked away currently in
9:05
the corner right over in the corner
9:08
there to the left of this pole goodness
9:14
gracious that bird is making a heinous
9:16
sound it's currently in a very difficult
9:18
spot to see but I have one more idea I
9:22
get my drive back in here I can get a
9:24
little bit better view you have to have
9:25
a very good keen eye but it's right
9:28
there look very very closely right here
9:34
that's a face it is a faith who knows
9:39
that the legend really is true who knows
9:41
if that really is the old man's face but
9:44
there is no denying there is something
9:46
on the side of that wall staring at us
9:51
creepy and now it's time for ask I don't
9:58
owe you no longer need a hashtag just
10:01
leave your question on you too
10:03
I'm the way we're gonna question for you
10:05
what you favorite driving album what do
10:08
you put on
10:13
driving that would definitely be a tough
10:13
one because I like a lot of different
10:15
types of music but this is one of my
10:17
favorite cruising albums Bruce
10:20
Springsteen's Nebraska slow down there
10:29
killer do you still play bass you know
10:35
it's honestly been two and a half are
10:35
there gonna be three years in June or
10:36
maybe July that I have not picked up a
10:39
bass guitar or an instrument I do have
10:41
the memories
11:13
hey this is Joe up in Duluth Minnesota
11:13
my question is when are you gonna come
11:15
visit Duluth Minnesota you're free to
11:18
stay at our house right wanna see my
11:21
wife either says yes the simplest answer
11:22
will be when it warms up trying to stay
11:24
south during the winter months I do have
11:27
a lot of friends in Minnesota so you'll
11:29
probably see me up there sooner than
11:31
later just not til I totally spring or
11:34
fall or maybe summer one do you believe
11:37
in ghosts sincerely and two have you
11:39
ever gone to a location be by yourself
11:41
or with a friend or a partner um I just
11:44
completely weirded you out to a point
11:46
where you just like I can get the hell
11:47
out of here I've definitely been to some
11:48
spots that creeped me out probably
11:50
mostly in my mind when it comes to
11:52
basically feeling like there are ghosts
11:54
I don't really know if there are not I
11:56
do know there's a bad boy and a Bigfoot
11:59
but honestly I'm really not sure there
12:01
could be sometimes I feel like there are
12:03
other times I feel like it's just all in
12:05
my head
12:06
I don't know likely know as much as I
12:14
love animals much as I love dogs my
12:16
sister has a few dogs I used to have
12:18
dogs in the past I do not foresee
12:20
anytime in the immediate future having a
12:23
dog running around it would be awesome
12:26
have a little companion but I don't
12:28
foresee that because you never really
12:29
know I never really know what I'm going
12:31
to do tomorrow next week next month
12:35
everything may seem like it is set in
12:37
motion now be never now you never know
12:40
what I'm going to do would you ever
12:41
consider would you ever do filming
12:43
locations for any of the National
12:46
Lampoon movies such as Christmas
12:49
vacation vacation absolutely yes in fact
12:52
I had been for probably about a year to
12:54
compiling and coming up with the ideas
12:57
of hitting all the spots from the
12:58
original vacation movie that is the kind
13:01
of content that would probably go over
13:03
on the atom the woot Channel just
13:04
because that is something that is going
13:06
to end up being mish-mashed together and
13:08
put in a long format video plus all the
13:11
locations are over a multitude of states
13:13
it cannot be done in one day so no
13:17
spoilers but it'll happen
13:20
please make sure to visit me at one of
13:22
my stores
13:33
I won't I won't who's your favorite
13:33
Disney Princess ask him again my
13:42
favorite Disney Princess problems either
13:44
Belle or snow white snow white probably
13:46
wins in that category just by a teeny
13:50
bit but I love both of them and I love
13:52
you too
13:53
thank you for watching have you will you
14:00
be visiting England struggle UK from
14:02
Europe anytime soon I'd like to get out
14:04
of the United States at some point and
14:05
see other countries right now I'm
14:07
focusing on traveling around and Large
14:09
Marge but like I was saying a minute ago
14:11
you never really know what I'm gonna do
14:13
next I don't even know sorry I'm kind of
14:16
sick so I've just been later watching
14:18
out of the wool videos but if you like
14:22
took some pictures in and around signs
14:26
and places you go to visit maybe just
14:29
still frame them and make them black and
14:33
white maybe maybe that's just place I
14:35
get what you're saying it would be cool
14:37
to have a good camera go around take
14:38
pictures a lot of it's just a time
14:39
factor filming every day most of the day
14:43
probably 75% of the day and then editing
14:45
uploading all that it's hard to have
14:48
other hobbies like photography and stuff
14:50
and part of the reason I started doing
14:51
videos to begin with is because I wasn't
14:53
good at photography and there were so
14:56
many people better than I was so I took
14:58
on this video format make sure the
15:00
question and hope you feel better
15:02
keep remember how you talked about your
15:03
father being a preacher what do you
15:06
think about the doctrine of the rapture
15:08
of the church and could it happen this
15:11
year saying even September 23rd of 2017
15:15
what do you think that is a loaded
15:18
question a lot of people have tried to
15:19
pinpoint the exact moment or date that
15:22
the earth is going to come to an end the
15:24
rapture whatever it is that you believe
15:26
in a lot of people have tried to figure
15:27
that out I have no earthly clue but I'll
15:31
tell you this
15:32
there's a good thing that I'm out doing
15:33
what I want to do living life
15:34
experiencing things because you never
15:37
know when it's all gonna end so here's
15:39
my question to you Adam if you could
15:41
take the DeLorean back in time to when
15:44
you first started making YouTube videos
15:46
what would you tell yourself would you
15:49
tell yourself to change anything and if
15:52
so what would you change I would tell
15:54
myself not to get discouraged I would
15:56
tell myself do not listen to the
15:58
naysayers do not listen to those who are
16:01
belittling or negative or those who are
16:04
mocking me for making you know what
16:08
seemed to be dumb videos gallivanting
16:10
around I would tell myself that that
16:13
eventually one day it will pay itself
16:17
off and people are interested there are
16:19
people out there who want to see what I
16:23
am showing and I think that's the
16:26
biggest thing that I would remind myself
16:27
if I could go back and see my former
16:30
self starting youtube it's a good
16:33
question I'll see you guys tomorrow we
16:35
will do more of these in the future love
16:38
you guys
