TDW 1456 - My Thoughts On Vidcon 2016

0:20 Uber. Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo

0:20 here. Day three of

0:23 VidCon. It's my second channel, daily

0:25 vlog channel.

0:27 It's the daily woo. This is the bean

0:31 boozled challenge where you spin the

0:33 wheel. You spin the wheel here and you

0:36 get a jelly belly and it could be good

0:38 tasting or it could be disgusting. You

0:40 don't want the dead fish. You don't want

0:43 dead fish. Here we go.

0:46 Come on.

0:47 Oh, double dare. Strawberry banana

0:50 smoothie or dead fish. All right.

0:53 There's a trash can right there in case

0:54 you need a vomit bucket. What's it taste

0:56 like? What's it taste like? Dead fish.

0:59 You got the dead fish. How crazy that

1:02 you got the dead fish. That's gross. So,

1:05 it's either chocolate pudding or canned

1:07 dog food. Oh, you got the canned dog

1:10 food. Goodness. Yeah, you're two for

1:12 two. I know it's disgusting because I

1:14 can smell it. I can smell it off of your

1:17 lips. Like, I can imagine just me

1:19 vicariously smelling it. How it must

1:22 taste. Here at the Nickelodeon booth, I

1:24 got a free

1:36 Got to love free stuff. This guy's

1:36 throwing out free packs of gum. Can I

1:37 have one? Yeah. Here we go. Oh, fail. I

1:42 missed it. I will never play in the NFL.

1:45 You have to be happy about free gum.

1:46 Anything that's free is good and free

1:48 gum is extra good. Being at VidCon

1:51 really makes me think of how the

1:52 internet and how YouTube has changed

1:54 since I started doing videos back in

1:57 2010 and 2011 when I first officially

2:00 started my channel, not only this daily

2:03 vlog channel, but my main channel, the

2:04 Adam the Woo channel. I had no idea that

2:07 people would ever watch my videos or

2:09 that YouTube would ever reach the amount

2:12 of people who watch on a daily basis.

2:14 and VidCon. The cool thing about

2:16 conventions like this, it really drives

2:18 the point home of how many people watch

2:22 videos. All right, I'm here with

2:23 Reckless Eating and uh something

2:25 happened to Chris. What happened in your

2:27 mouth last night? I tried stuffing 24

2:29 scorpions in my mouth and you ate 24

2:33 scorpions at the same time and I think

2:35 the stingers and the claws like

2:37 destroyed my throat. So, you can hear

2:39 it. You can hear it in your voice for

2:40 sure. Yeah, he's taking it easy for me.

2:42 You're taking it easy on this on this.

2:43 So, what am I doing? What am I doing for

2:44 you guys? So, you picked out of our bag

2:46 of goodies. Uh, this is from the Tim

2:48 Burton Batman film, 1989. This is just

2:51 hard candy we got off of eBay for This

2:53 is Michael Keaton right here. Yeah. For

2:54 like three bucks. And people always say,

2:56 "Oh my god, like you find the rarest

2:57 stuff." I just go on eBay and search.

2:59 Like nobody's looking for this. And I'm

3:01 going to consume this. We're going to

3:02 eat it. Yeah. Try this thing out. So

3:04 that's what that that looks like. It

3:05 looks like medicine, but it has the

3:08 Batman emblem right on the front of it.

3:09 It's like the bat signal. So I'm going

3:11 to be I'm going to be eating this. It's

3:13 like a It's like a Batman pill. Well,

3:14 from 1989, so whatever that would be.

3:16 So, this is 2016, so it' be 27 years

3:20 ago. There you go. Yeah. 27 sound right.

3:22 I think I've had these before. I The

3:24 moment I saw what these look like and

3:26 that reminded me of the suginess like

3:28 coming out, I think that I had these as

3:30 a child. So, this may be a return for

3:32 me. Tip it up. You just tip it up. If

3:34 these aren't horrible, I might tip it

3:36 up. It's just sugar. So, I you can't go

3:38 wrong with it. It's fine. So, all right.

3:40 Let's do it.

3:42 And check these out. These are Jurassic

3:44 Park Raptor bites. And you're going to

3:46 eat these, right? Of course. What's your

3:48 channel name? Liam's Lunchbox. Liam's

3:50 Lunchbox is about to consume some raptor

3:53 bites that are probably about two and a

3:54 half decades old. Yeah. So, good luck

3:56 with good luck with that, buddy.

4:26 The whole thing is stupid. I hate my

4:26 landlord. I hate my life.

4:34 Or turn into a time to be the face of

4:34 your face's mom. Yeah, you know, just

4:36 chilling in my room that VidCon hooked

4:38 up for me. They throw me all kind of

4:40 perks. Actually, I'm just kidding. It's

4:41 these guys room. I've invaded I've

4:43 invaded their space. I have to stay in

4:46 my unequipped house that has pretty much

4:49 nothing in it because I sold everything

4:50 I own. And they are staying here with an

4:53 awesome view of the pool down there.

4:55 This is awesome. Look at

4:57 this. I live right over there. So, see

5:00 where that church is? Okay. I'm like a

5:02 mile past that church steeple. That's

5:04 the Crystal Cathedral over there.

5:11 VidCon has come to an end and I'm kind

5:11 of glad it's over because this was my

5:14 last hurrah, if you will, in Southern

5:17 California. And by VidCon ending, that

5:20 means that the time is nigh or the time

5:24 is near, if that's the correct

5:27 terminology, to be getting ready to

5:30 leave California in two, maybe 3 days, 3

5:34 and 1/2 days. I'm kind of on the fence

5:37 with it. I'm kind of up in the air on

5:39 when I am departing. Now, I have nothing

5:43 planned other than packing my van up,

5:46 scrubbing down the house, cleaning

5:48 things, tying up some loose ends in

5:51 Southern California before departing in

5:54 the next two, three, three and a halfish

5:57 days. And I don't even know for sure

6:00 when exactly I will be departing, but

6:03 rest assured, you will be the first to

6:05 know through these vlogs. Let's talk

6:08 about VidCon for a second. VidCon is

6:10 very fun for me. I cannot speak for

6:13 everyone else there, but it is fun for

6:16 me for certain reasons. And those

6:18 reasons are I get to see friends from

6:21 around the country who do videos who all

6:24 congregate to Anaheim at the convention

6:27 center. That is my favorite thing about

6:29 VidCon. I am not the normal VidConian,

6:33 if you will. In fact, I am not a normal

6:37 YouTuber in my opinion. I don't think I

6:40 am a quote unquote normal YouTuber. And

6:43 what I mean by that is these vlogs and

6:46 my main channel videos are in the lower

6:49 percentile of what everyone else on

6:52 YouTube is doing. You can correct me if

6:55 I am wrong on this. In fact, I would

6:57 like your feedback by leaving some

6:58 comments. Do you think that what I am

7:00 doing is in the lower percentile

7:04 different than what most other YouTubers

7:07 are doing? So, when I go to VidCon,

7:10 there is a part of me when I see

7:12 everyone there and as wonderful it is to

7:14 meet people and say hello and see old

7:16 friends and make new friends, there's a

7:18 part of me that feels like I am not the

7:22 demographic that VidCon is really known

7:27 for or catering to. So, if you go to

7:30 VidCon, you're not going to see

7:33 5,000 mi walking around. You're going to

7:36 see a lot of people that are not like

7:39 me, that do content not like me. And the

7:42 beautiful thing about YouTube is that

7:44 anybody can do any type of video. No

7:47 matter what the subject is, anyone can

7:49 do it and put it out there, put their

7:51 thoughts out there, put their ideas out

7:52 there, put their creations and their

7:54 creative energy out there into the world

7:57 on this wonderful thing, not only of the

8:00 internet, but also this wonderful thing

8:02 known as YouTube. So, YouTube is good in

8:05 that way and VidCon is good in that way.

8:08 But if you've ever been to VidCon, you

8:10 know exactly what I am talking about.

8:11 It's a lot of younger people than me

8:14 doing different types of content than

8:17 what I do. Doing the adventure type

8:19 videos, which is like pretty much what I

8:21 do. I like to go out, learn a little bit

8:24 of history, do movie locations and

8:25 abandoned places. That is not what

8:28 VidCon is. Even though VidCon is a broad

8:31 spectrum of stuff, VidCon caters more to

8:34 a younger crowd to, you know, teenagers,

8:37 pre-teenagers, young adults, doing

8:40 different types of videos than what I

8:42 do. And while I will continue going to

8:44 conventions, especially VidCon and stuff

8:46 like that, it's more for the aspect of

8:49 just meeting up with people and seeing

8:52 old friends and making new friends more

8:54 than it is catering knowledge and

8:56 learning things about how I can hone my

8:59 skills of doing YouTube. It didn't

9:02 really cater to me in that aspect. So,

9:05 if you think going to VidCon, if you if

9:08 you are doing types of videos like I am

9:10 doing, then VidCon might not exactly be

9:13 the place that you should go to to learn

9:16 and hone your craft. It is more of a

9:19 mecca of people going to see their

9:23 favorite YouTube quote unquote

9:25 celebrities, if you will, and just meet

9:28 and greets and things like that. That is

9:30 really about 90% of what VidCon is. It's

9:34 not really a I don't want to say it's

9:36 not, but it's like mostly not a learning

9:40 experience. You're not being trained on

9:42 how to like get better at your craft. At

9:45 least that's what I take about it. Some

9:47 people might have a different of

9:48 opinion, but I just wanted to share my

9:50 thoughts of VidCon. As fun as it was,

9:53 the main reason I love it is just to

9:55 hang out with friends and meet new

9:57 friends. I've said so much, yet I've

9:59 said so little. I am super stoked about

10:02 the future because very soon I will not

10:06 be in this home anymore. You will not be

10:07 seeing this backdrop in these vlogs

10:10 anymore. And I'm going to be stepping my

10:11 vlogs up another notch when I leave

10:14 because I am going to be devoting all of

10:17 my energy to traveling and to videos. So

10:22 get excited. I'm excited. I will see you

10:25 guys tomorrow. Love you guys. Vlog
