Welcome everyone out of the Woo here.
0:09
That is a train, a Metro Link train. But
0:15
be careful because that train has no
0:20
train horn.
0:27
It's my second channel, Daily Blog
0:27
channel. I didn't hear a train horn. You
0:29
didn't hear a train horn. What does no
0:31
train horse train horn train horn
0:35
significance have to you and I? That's
0:38
the question of the day. It's my second
0:41
channel, daily blog channel. It's the
0:43
daily transportation episode of the
0:46
daily. Woo. You see cars driving by. You
0:48
see people walking. You hear me
0:51
uncaffeinated.
0:52
Still early enough in the morning to
0:54
where I am not coherently functioning
0:55
and formulating words. And you see my
0:58
transportation of the day, my bicycle
1:00
right there on the ground. And it's
1:02
actually in the way. A lot of people
1:05
walking by are actually being hindered
1:07
by my bike. I should not. I've actually
1:09
parked my bike right there. And you can
1:10
actually see the chunk of grass right
1:13
there that I actually festoned up from
1:16
the ground by putting my kickstand.
1:17
Never try to plant a kickstand in the
1:20
ground because what will happen end up
1:22
ripping up sod and ripping up grass.
1:24
Always
1:26
park your bike with the kickstand on
1:28
concrete or some sort of solid area.
1:31
That woman right there riding by on her
1:34
bike probably knows how to put the
1:36
kickstand down on the concrete as
1:39
opposed to
1:41
see I'm completely in the way. She
1:42
actually had to drive off onto Let me
1:45
actually move my bike out of the way.
1:47
I'm always in the way. Have I done the
1:49
intro yet? It's the daily woo. Then look
1:52
if you notice something about this sign.
1:55
What about this sign is unusual? Read
1:57
this sign. Warning. Does it say watch
1:59
for trains approaching in both
2:02
directions? Does that sign say warning?
2:05
Watch for trains approaching in both
2:08
directions. If you think that sign says
2:10
warning, watch for trains approaching in
2:13
both directions, raise your hand. Okay,
2:16
great. We have now taken a poll. I was
2:19
actually thinking that said that as
2:20
well, but actually it says warning,
2:22
watch for trains.
2:25
Trains approach in both directions. So,
2:29
it's kind of confusing when you have
2:30
trains at the end of this actually over
2:33
here. Watch for trains and then another
2:38
word trains right next to it without a
2:41
period. Kind of confused me. Watch for
2:44
trains. Trains approach in both
2:46
directions. Watch for trains. Trains
2:48
approach in both directions. Watch for
2:55
directions. Now I understand exactly
2:57
what that sign means. Here's another
3:00
form of public transportation. When it
3:02
comes to buses, a lot of people when
3:04
they're commuting either to work or to
3:05
school or to visit or to travel around
3:08
bigger areas of cities and suburbs, they
3:11
take public transportation. And maybe
3:14
one day I'll do a vlog on some sort of
3:17
public transportation. I have not ridden
3:18
the bus in quite some time, but it would
3:20
be cool to do some bus adventures, some
3:22
train adventures. And the no train horn
3:25
thing is very interesting. And I realize
3:27
this because all through the area of
3:30
Orange County up into Los Angeles County
3:32
and LA and all the nether regions of the
3:34
greater Los Angeles area, these metro
3:38
link, which is the company, the
3:40
corporation that actually takes people
3:42
to and fro to commute to work or to
3:45
school,
3:47
they actually do not use a train horn.
3:49
Meaning that when they come to an
3:51
intersection back in the olden days, I'm
3:53
thinking, correct me if I am wrong on
3:54
this train horn scenario. Back in the
3:57
olden days when they would approach an
3:58
intersection like this, the conductor or
4:01
not the conductor, who is the person
4:03
that actually drives the train? The
4:04
conductor is the person that brings
4:07
people on and lets people off of the
4:08
train. The person that's driving the
4:11
train would be pulling down on the train
4:13
horn honk. Not like a truck would do,
4:16
but how's a train horn sound
4:20
or whatever that train sound is? But
4:23
because there's so many local residents
4:25
living nearby, working nearby, they do
4:27
not want to hear a train horn 518 times
4:30
a day, that's what the no train horn
4:34
sign means. Look, look, look, look.
4:41
Now, am I correct in assuming that? I
4:43
did not do any research beforehand. I
4:46
just woke up literally a half hour ago.
4:47
I jumped on my bicycle right here. I've
4:50
been riding all around this area for
4:54
probably about the last 10 minutes
4:56
deciding what could I vlog about and
4:57
then it hit me. It hit me when I saw
5:01
this. And luckily the train did not hit
5:05
me because I have abided by this sign
5:08
which is very clearly understandable
5:10
that trains come in both direction. A
5:13
train comes down this track and there's
5:14
a second track that this drive by. And
5:17
this is actually a little delay. It's a
5:19
couple days older and I should have
5:20
brought this up in the vlog a couple
5:22
days ago, but there was actually a Metro
5:25
Link accident down the road. I believe
5:28
that way. It could have been that way. I
5:29
have my directions kind of confused, but
5:31
it was actually a little bit north of
5:33
Los Angeles. I believe in the town of
5:36
Oxnard, which is along this Metro Link
5:39
track. I believe along this exact metro
5:43
link track. But the Metro Link train
5:46
that's commuting people to and fro every
5:49
day from work actually derailed. It
5:52
actually hit a truck in the middle of an
5:54
intersection like that. So I'm wondering
5:56
in a situation like that if there is a
5:58
truck across
6:01
the train tracks like let's say if that
6:03
truck was to stop and that's actually a
6:05
metro link truck. So, how ironic would
6:06
it be if a train was actually to hit a
6:09
Metro Link truck and it's actually a
6:11
Metro Link train? That would be a double
6:14
collision of Metro Link idness. Okay,
6:17
we're going to witness a train coming
6:20
through.
6:21
Go on Google, look up the Metro Link,
6:24
California
6:26
accident between the truck and the
6:28
train.
6:30
You always see in movies train
6:32
derailment. So just imagine what a train
6:34
derailment would be like. So imagine
6:37
this train that's actually coming
6:38
towards us. See this train right here?
6:40
Imagine that train all of a sudden
6:43
shifts off of the track and starts to
6:45
flow towards us and then flips over. I
6:48
believe no one was actually killed in
6:50
the accident thankfully. But there were
6:52
a lot of people injured. I think 29 or
6:54
30 people injured. And when I'm talking
6:56
about train injuries, it actually scares
6:58
me enough to where I'm actually going to
7:00
get away from the train. I'm going to
7:01
stand right here.
7:03
as the train goes by.
7:12
Anytime I think about public
7:12
transportation and accidents like plane
7:15
crashes, train wrecks, I always think of
7:18
Superman number one when Superman is
7:21
talking to Lois Lane before they go on
7:24
their little flying excursion and he
7:26
tells her the safest form of travel is
7:29
actually plane travel. The odds of
7:31
getting in a car wreck, of being injured
7:33
or perishing in a car wreck, are
7:35
actually greater than being on a plane.
7:37
And I would probably say the same about
7:40
being on a Metro Link or any other
7:43
passenger train for that matter.
7:46
It's kind of all laws of averages. Of
7:49
course, when something like a train
7:50
derails, it ends up on the news.
7:52
Luckily, in this situation, no one
7:54
actually passed away or perished. Just a
7:57
a few injuries. actually a lot of
7:59
injuries, but no one actually passed
8:00
away, which is actually very good to
8:03
hear. So, here is my question. Here is
8:05
my conundrum and my thought that I want
8:08
you to chime in on today. What is the
8:10
safest form of transportation when it
8:14
comes to commuting? When it comes to
8:17
traveling, when it comes to going either
8:19
cross country or localized community,
8:22
community
8:24
commuting the community. This is what
8:27
happens when you do not become
8:28
caffeinated before a vlog begins.
8:33
So, let's chime in. Let's have a
8:34
discussion. How do you commute? Do you
8:37
take your own car? Do you take a bicycle
8:39
like I have? Do you take the train? Do
8:42
you take a bus? What do you take? Do you
8:45
walk? Do you run? Do you jog? Do you
8:49
sprint gracefully? How do you transport
8:53
yourself to not only your home but also
8:57
to your work, to your friend's house?
8:59
What is your mode of transportation? And
9:02
what do you deem in your mind? What is
9:04
your opinion on the safest form of
9:07
transportation? That is the topic of
9:08
today. Kind of an insightful daily. Woo.
9:11
A little bit of a homework assignment I
9:13
have for you because I want you to put
9:15
on your thinking caps. I have my
9:18
thinking hoodie on, which it's weird
9:21
because when I put my thinking hoodie
9:22
on, I'm no smarter than I am when I have
9:24
it off. So either way, off or on, off or
9:27
on, I still am never thinking
9:30
coherently. Have a great day. Check down
9:31
below for my teachers.
9:34
Got some good daily video ideas coming
9:36
out very soon. Going to have some good,
9:39
awesome, epic daily woos in the near
9:42
future. And as well as the Adam the Woo
9:45
channel, I'm actually doing a little
9:47
recgnissance work not only today,
9:49
tomorrow, and the next day. I have some
9:52
good ideas for some main channels and
9:54
some daily woos. Hopefully they come
9:57
true and hopefully I can bring them into
9:59
your eyes from my camera into your
10:04
nether regions of your eye sockets.
10:07
All right, have a great day. This guy
10:08
was very confused by my eye socketness
10:12
that I was just staring at you. His
10:15
transportation is walking. My
10:17
transportation is biking. The people
10:19
that were just on the metro link, their
10:21
transportation
10:23
is taking a train. And my throat's
10:25
transportation is
10:28
clearing it because clearly I need some
10:30
sort of beverage and some sort of water.
10:32
Remember what I said about the
10:33
kickstand? Let's all take this into
10:36
consideration.
10:45
If you're going to plant a bike, I use
10:45
that word plant ironically because you
10:47
cannot plant a bicycle's kickstand like
10:50
a plant. You can't take it and you can't
10:52
insert it in the ground and expect it to
10:53
grow like a normal plant. But if you're
10:55
going to plant a kickstand, plant it on
10:58
something very solid like this as
11:01
opposed to this or you will rip up the
11:03
sod like I did. I have desecrated the
11:05
grounds of Orange County and I apologize
11:08
and I apologize to you for this vlog cuz
11:12
it's kind of an unusual vlog. You never
11:13
know what you're going to get on the
11:14
daily boo. It's an unedited adult vlog I
11:15
do every single day. It's unedited and
11:17
random and impulsive and sometimes I
11:18
talk about some weird stuff. Sometimes I
11:20
pick your brain. Like today I'm picking
11:22
your brain, man. Me pick that little
11:24
brain and bring it in to my world. And
11:26
sometimes I go to abandoned places.
11:27
Sometimes I go to theme parks. Sometimes
11:28
I go to wacky roadside attractions. And
11:30
sometimes who knows what you're going to
11:32
get. Remember everyone, remember
11:34
warning. Watch for trains. Trains, watch
11:38
for trains. Trains. They approach from
11:41
both directions. I love you guys. Thanks
11:43
for dealing with my rambling, incoherent
11:46
inadequacies on a daily basis. Goodbye.
