Welcome everyone, Adam the Woo here. You
0:25
may have noticed that I now have a new
0:27
Epcot center mug.
0:31
And any minute now, this cure egg is
0:34
going to start brewing and festoning
0:37
delicious Dunkin' Donuts K Cups that I
0:40
keep right up here in the cupboard. It's
0:42
my second channel, daily vlog channel.
0:44
It's the daily Woo. And you can see that
0:47
I washed that Mickey plate that I got
0:49
yesterday. This is my home and I am
0:53
going to do a vlog announcing now that I
0:56
am putting out the statement. I'm
0:58
putting out the announcement that I am
1:00
taking into consideration
1:03
the possibility of actually taking on a
1:07
roommate. I have a twobedroom place here
1:09
in Orange County, California. And I want
1:11
to give you some of the specifics and
1:14
some of the regulations and some of the
1:17
thoughts that I have in my mind. I
1:19
thought I'm kind of on the fence with
1:21
whether I should stay in California,
1:23
whether I should move, whether I should
1:24
uproot. I spent a good two years of my
1:28
life sleeping in the back of a van,
1:30
traveling around, filming things, and
1:33
now I have transitioned into flying
1:35
different places because the price of
1:37
gas for my van is pretty expensive. Even
1:40
though gas is dropping, it is more
1:42
reasonable to book a flight and rent a
1:44
car and travel that way. Plus, it is
1:46
nice to actually have a place to lay my
1:50
head, a place to call home. Now, things
1:53
have changed since I first moved in here
1:55
one year ago. I just celebrated two days
1:58
ago, I think it was, the one-year
1:59
anniversary of actually moving in to my
2:03
Orange County home. And a lot has
2:06
changed in a year. I used to have
2:07
roommates. I lived with Tyler Evans Rock
2:09
Journalist. I lived with Madam the Woo.
2:11
That relationship ended. My relationship
2:14
with Tyler is still going strong, but he
2:16
actually lives in Georgia. So, he is no
2:19
longer sharing the rent or the utility
2:23
bills here because he does not actually
2:25
live here and he has uprooted and went
2:26
back to his home in Georgia. So, I have
2:29
been thinking, by the way, look at this.
2:30
Here's that mug weird vase vase I bought
2:34
yesterday. So, I have been thinking,
2:37
should I just uproot again and travel?
2:39
Should I stay put and keep my home base?
2:42
And I started looking at the price that
2:45
I pay for here. I thought about getting
2:46
a onebedroom. And I'm really only saving
2:49
a couple hundred, maybe $2 to $300 total
2:54
if I was to leave here and move
2:56
somewhere else. And I don't really think
2:57
that that is a good idea. The place that
2:59
I have is actually a super awesome
3:02
place. And I do not think I would find
3:03
something for the price that I am
3:05
paying. Even though it is kind of
3:06
exorbitant compared to the rest of the
3:08
country, I do not think I would find a
3:10
place like this in this area for this
3:14
price if I so choose to actually move
3:17
out and pretty much continue on with
3:20
doing other things than living here in
3:21
Orange County. So, I am thinking about
3:24
taking a roommate. Now, what does this
3:26
mean? This does not mean the first
3:28
person that comes along that says, "Hey,
3:30
here's some money for me to move in."
3:31
Will be accepted to actually move into
3:34
the room with the door. I'm actually
3:36
going to show you the room back there.
3:39
This is a roommate application. This
3:41
means we will be emailing quite a few
3:44
times. We will be talking on the phone
3:46
after we get to know each other through
3:47
email or hopefully a friend of a friend
3:51
that I already know. That way it'll be a
3:53
lot easier to get to know that said
3:55
person can actually move in. I'm just
3:58
putting out the feelers, if you will, to
4:01
see if this is a viable option
4:04
for me. Here are the awesome points
4:06
about where I live. I am about five to
4:08
six miles between five and six miles
4:10
from the Disneyland Resort. It takes me
4:13
when traffic is good, which in the
4:15
morning it's always good in the morning
4:16
time to get to Disneyland. I can get
4:19
there in 10 minutes flat. I've actually
4:22
timed it from the parking garage to my
4:24
front door in 10 minutes, which is
4:27
pretty awesome. So, if you're a big
4:28
Disney fan, this is the place for you to
4:31
be. There is a parking spot. You will
4:33
have your own parking spot. You don't
4:34
have to worry about street parking, any
4:36
of that. You will have your own parking
4:38
spot. Southern California gets very busy
4:40
with parking, but rest assured if you
4:43
decide to take me up on this offer that
4:46
you will have your own parking spot as
4:48
well. It is also within a mile from the
4:50
orange circle which is like this really
4:53
cool area where you can do shopping, you
4:55
can eat stuff, things like that. Lot of
4:58
cool things, freeways very close by,
5:00
there are malls very close by, lot of
5:04
stuff. Plus, if you are thinking about
5:07
going to Los Angeles, let's say you're
5:09
not from the Los Angeles area, you live
5:10
somewhere else in the country and you've
5:12
always wanted to move to LA. This is the
5:14
greater Los Angeles area. It's Orange
5:17
County. It's not LA County, but it only
5:19
takes about 40 45 minutes when traffic
5:21
is good to get up to LA. When traffic's
5:23
bad, it could take an hour to an hour
5:25
and a half. But certain times of the
5:27
day, if you know how to play your cars
5:29
right, you can get up to Los Angeles,
5:30
Hollywood Boulevard, Burbank, and all
5:32
that in about 45 minutes to an hour or
5:35
less. So, we all here in Orange County,
5:38
even though people from Orange County
5:39
don't like to say they're from LA, I am
5:41
basically new to this area, and I like
5:43
to say I live in the greater Los Angeles
5:45
area. Here are the stipulations
5:48
basically. Now, none of these will
5:50
actually be things that I will shun
5:53
completely 100% upon, but these are
5:55
things that I prefer. I prefer someone
5:57
who if they drink, they are not a party
5:59
animal. They do not have a bunch of
6:01
people over here all the time hanging
6:02
out. They're kind of a recluse like me
6:05
and have an adventure spirit like me in
6:09
the form of creativity. Either they do
6:11
YouTube video. I would love for someone
6:13
who does YouTube videos to actually be
6:17
my roommate and actually move in. That
6:19
way we can collaborate. We can help each
6:22
other out and they are on the same
6:24
mindset as I am. The biggest reason that
6:27
I want someone to move in here obviously
6:29
is the financial aspect, but also to
6:31
actually have someone here watching my
6:33
home while I'm out traveling. So that is
6:37
kind of the two main perks. Of course,
6:39
the financial aspect definitely weighs
6:42
in considerably, but those are the two
6:44
main things. So, basically, if you so
6:47
choose to fill out this, not really a
6:50
form for a roommate application, but if
6:52
you decide to hit me up on Twitter,
6:54
AdamWoo on Twitter, contact me on there,
6:57
if you are interested, please. 100%
7:01
intereston, nonflippant
7:04
ideas in people's heads. is they're just
7:06
like, "Oh, I would really like to like
7:07
maybe move in there possibly." You have
7:09
to be dedicated to this idea. If you
7:12
are, get a hold of me on Twitter, Adam
7:14
theWoo on Twitter. Let's talk about
7:17
pricing. Basically, where I live is just
7:21
shy of $2,000 a month in rent. Now, if
7:25
you are from Kentucky, if you are from
7:27
Louisiana, in a small town in anywhere
7:31
other than California, unless you live
7:33
in New York City or maybe Miami, you're
7:35
probably saying, "That's a heck of a lot
7:37
of money." And it is, but there is a lot
7:39
of things out here to do. So, rent is
7:41
just shy of $2,000. I have what they
7:44
call the master bedroom, and this was
7:47
actually where Tyler lived. I was in
7:49
this room here. Tyler was in the back
7:51
room. There is a bathroom in the back
7:54
room and there's also this bathroom here
7:56
in the hallway. Now, I was thinking
7:58
instead of splitting the rent, instead
7:59
of doing it $1,000 each, the person who
8:02
decides who so deems to fill out this
8:05
roommate application if they so choose,
8:07
would get that room right over there.
8:09
And that bathroom in the hallway, that
8:11
would be your own personal bathroom
8:13
because I have one at the end of the
8:14
hallway. The person who moves in there
8:16
would pay $800
8:19
a month. This would include parking.
8:22
This would include paying rent on that
8:24
room. And then we would take the
8:26
utilities and we would cut them in half.
8:27
That includes heat. That includes air
8:29
conditioning. That includes Wi-Fi. And I
8:32
have super fast, the fastest Wi-Fi
8:34
imaginable because I do YouTube. I'm
8:36
always uploading YouTube videos. So
8:38
Netflix, the speed of Netflix is always
8:41
good. Streaming is always good. And the
8:44
utility bills here. This house actually
8:46
is very cool for being that sometimes
8:48
when it's hot outside. I didn't even
8:50
turn the air on in this house until late
8:53
August, late August, early to mid to
8:57
late August. And we only ran the air for
8:59
about a month. So the utility bill is
9:01
only usually about $50. So half of $50
9:03
is not that bad. The Wi-Fi bill is about
9:06
$75. So all in all, you're probably only
9:09
going to be paying about 75, maybe $100
9:11
tops in the hottest point of the summer.
9:15
So basically, you figured $800 plus
9:17
another $100. So at the most, you would
9:20
pay $900 to live in Orange County,
9:22
California to be 5 miles or five to six
9:25
miles from Disneyland. So, here is the
9:29
room
9:31
down the horror hallway, and I call it
9:33
that
9:35
because of the horror themed. So, as you
9:39
walk in here, here was my old room
9:41
before I moved into Tyler's room after
9:43
he left. So, this is the room in
9:47
question. You can see it's not a
9:50
gargantuan room, but it is it is a
9:53
pretty good size room. I used to have my
9:56
bed right here. I have a queen-siz bed
9:58
that fit right here. This closet is
10:01
massive. It's a rolling closet. It's not
10:03
a walk-in closet, but it's pretty huge.
10:05
You see how huge the closet is? I used
10:07
to have my desk over here, and I used to
10:10
have a big shelving unit right there
10:13
inside this room. So, you can see how
10:15
good size good size this room actually
10:19
is. And then the bathroom which is right
10:22
over here next to old Frankenstein. You
10:26
can see inside the bathroom right there.
10:30
So there you go.
10:32
Okay. So that's basically it. This might
10:34
not come to fruition. I might talk to a
10:37
few people and that we might not gel
10:39
together. And like a former boss that I
10:42
had told me when I he hired me one time,
10:45
I'm going to hire you and if it doesn't
10:48
work out, we will part as friends. So
10:51
please, no hard feelings. If you decide,
10:53
hey, I want to move in there and you get
10:54
your hopes up, we hang out a few times
10:57
and then you realize Adam is not really
11:00
leaning in my direction. I have to think
11:03
of myself first because I cannot just
11:06
have anyone randomly moving in. It needs
11:08
to be a kinship. We need to become
11:10
friends first and then even though it
11:12
will probably happen very quickly, you
11:14
can become the roommate. I would rather
11:16
have a single person, preferably a male,
11:19
but I am not going to shun out a female
11:21
or a couple, but I would preferably be a
11:24
male and preferably someone who actually
11:27
does either YouTube or artwork, things
11:30
of the creative nature, because I'm a
11:32
very creative and passionate person
11:33
about those types of things. So, let me
11:37
reiterate close to Disney about a mile
11:40
mile and a half from the Orange Circle,
11:42
the Orange Plaza, Orange County,
11:44
California, basically on a Anaheim
11:47
Orange Santa Ana region line. Basically,
11:51
about a 30 to 45 minutes to an hour
11:54
depending on traffic from Los Angeles
11:56
where you're going in Los Angeles. $800
11:58
a month plus half of the utilities.
12:01
Pretty much once you get a hold of me,
12:03
we hang out. We could either talk
12:04
through email, then maybe talk on the
12:06
phone, then maybe meet up. We will
12:09
decide together if this is something you
12:11
wanted to do. And then after I feel like
12:14
I know you well enough and know your
12:15
intentions, I will invite you over here.
12:17
You can check out the homestead and
12:20
decide what you want to do. This is not
12:23
going to change whether or not my
12:25
decisions to stay here or not, but this
12:26
is definitely going to help me out
12:29
considerably by having someone fill that
12:31
room. watch over the place when I am not
12:33
here and I'm traveling. I've talked a
12:36
lot, said so much, yet I've said so
12:38
little. Check down below for my
12:39
teachers, adamthe.spreadshare.com.
12:41
That really helps me out to fuel the
12:42
woo, to travel, to put gas in the van,
12:44
to to book the flights, the rental cars,
12:47
to travel all over and film and edit and
12:49
do crazy things in my life and in the
12:52
world and actually bring you along with
12:53
me. So, the spreadshirt.com really helps
12:55
as well as Adamwoo on Patreon. Please
12:58
keep your pledges $5 at the most or
13:01
under if you so you can be a vicarious
13:03
roommate and not actually live here at
13:06
all, but just help support by using the
13:08
Patreon. Adam the Woo on Patreon.
13:11
Twitter is the best way to get a hold of
13:13
me. Follow me on Twitter. Send me some
13:15
tweets. I can actually message you. If
13:18
you follow me on Twitter, I can send you
13:20
a message and we can discuss this
13:23
further. This is effective immediately.
13:26
Hope to hear from some of you guys.
13:28
Please keep what I was saying. And oh,
13:30
by the way, no smoking in the house.
13:32
That is 100% a rule. If you do smoke,
13:34
you can smoke out on the porch or out
13:36
front or anywhere like that. But no
13:37
actual smoking in the house and no pets
13:39
allowed. No cats, no dogs, and that is
13:42
per my landlord. My Mr. Furley has those
13:47
rules in place. Okay. There's a lot of
13:50
other things I want to talk about, but
13:51
we will talk about those on a more
13:53
detailed
13:54
detailed matter when you get a hold of
13:56
me. If you get a hold of me, maybe no
13:58
one wants maybe no one wants to live
14:00
here with me. Maybe I'm meant to be
14:03
alone forever.
14:06
You never
