TDW 1385 - What's Behind All This CAUTION Tape ?

0:11 Oh, it's good to have you back, creamer.

0:11 And those aren't bugs in there. Those

0:13 are coffee grinds.

0:16 At least I hope they are.

0:19 Oh, that's good. It's my second channel.

0:21 Daily vlog channel. It's

0:29 I almost spilled my coffee. It's the

0:29 daily woo.

0:31 I want to talk about a particular

0:32 subject real quick. It involves three

0:35 key points. The past,

0:39 the present,

0:47 and the future. The majority of people

0:47 that you meet always will judge you on

0:50 what you are doing presently. And this

0:52 also not only goes for people you just

0:54 met, but also people you know and have

0:57 known for a long time. And that's what I

0:59 want to talk about. Don't always focus

1:02 on the present. Let's talk about

1:04 someone's past. You always hear these

1:06 stories of someone who was down on their

1:08 luck at one point and then over a few

1:10 years got motivated, devoted themselves

1:13 to something, and then became the leader

1:16 of a Fortune 500 company. You think the

1:19 majority of the population care about

1:22 what this now successful businessman did

1:25 10 years ago? His struggles, what he had

1:28 to deal with to get where he was, his

1:30 motivation and the focus that he showed

1:33 slaving every day to make his business

1:35 successful. No, the majority of the

1:38 population, including probably me and

1:40 you, do not look at it that way. All we

1:43 can think of is either jealousy. Our

1:45 thought process is he's always had that.

1:48 We do not look at the big picture

1:52 and that's kind of a bummer. And that

1:54 goes with anyone's current day, their

1:56 present day activities and what they are

1:59 doing now. They came from a past. They

2:02 had a past to get to their present. No

2:06 matter what their situation is, at one

2:08 point they had a past that progressed to

2:12 a present. And this is why it is vitally

2:14 important to make the decisions that you

2:17 feel necessary to get to where you want

2:20 to be. Because in the past, people will

2:22 forget about the decisions you made, the

2:25 progress that you have to make, the

2:27 orals you have to deal with to get to

2:30 the current day status of what you want

2:32 to be and who you want to be. And people

2:34 are always going to see the present.

2:36 They're not going to see the decisions

2:37 you made in the past. So, if you have a

2:40 decision you want to make and you're

2:42 battling with this decision and you're

2:43 thinking, "What are people going to

2:45 think about my decision making? Are they

2:47 going to frown upon what I have to do,

2:49 what I want to do, what I desire to do?"

2:52 Always remember down the road in the

2:55 future that will be the present day. I'm

3:00 talking like Doc Brown right now. And

3:01 how do we get from the present to the

3:04 future? How do we progress from current

3:07 day into the future? You can do it a

3:10 couple different ways. You can sit on a

3:12 couch every day, every night, doing

3:14 nothing, talking with your friends,

3:17 basically having people over, talking

3:19 about how you're going to do certain

3:20 things. Down the road, this is going to

3:22 happen. One day I'm going to do this.

3:24 One day I'm going to do this. And then

3:25 three, four, five years when you're in

3:28 the future, you're still sitting on a

3:30 couch similar to this one talking with

3:32 your friends, doing the same things. And

3:34 that is why people do not believe your

3:36 future will be any different than your

3:38 present. Because the majority of people,

3:41 myself included at times, talk talk talk

3:45 about what they're going to do instead

3:47 of just going out and getting it done.

3:49 Just always remember when you talk to

3:51 someone who's telling you their plans,

3:53 if they are a motivated person and

3:54 they're seeing progress, do not deny

3:58 that person the ability to infiltrate

4:01 your brain into realizing that one day

4:03 their future could possibly be different

4:06 than their present. Keep all three of

4:09 these things in mind. The past, the

4:11 present, and the future. Everyone has a

4:13 past to get to the present. And everyone

4:15 if motivated enough, this includes you,

4:18 will have a prosperous and very

4:20 beneficial and at least happy to the

4:23 soul future and things will always

4:25 happen. Keep your head up, keep moving

4:28 forward. That's basically all I'm trying

4:30 to say. I know this is very confusing.

4:31 Let's continue with the vlog. Got to

4:34 run.

4:42 What the heck is that?

4:42 That's a huge blue pyramid in front of

4:44 me. Oh yeah, there it is. Look at that.

4:47 That's awesome. Who knew that pyramids

4:49 existed in California?

4:59 One of the rare Dunkin Donuts, Southern

4:59 California. What's going on up here on

5:02 these shingles? Look at these shingles

5:03 stacked on top of that roof just

5:06 teetering there. One stiff wind

5:10 just make them all tumble down here onto

5:12 the road. A lot of police cars there in

5:14 a row. See behind me, that's my van. It

5:18 took me an hour and a half,

5:20 approximately an hour to an hour and a

5:22 half, give or take, to find that parking

5:24 spot here in Long Beach, California.

5:26 There's an event going on that I'm going

5:29 to right now. Good lord, I get so

5:32 stressed out when it comes to parking.

5:34 All the parking near the event is around

5:37 $30 a pop. And since I'm only going to

5:39 be staying for a very short while, I

5:41 didn't really deem it necessary to pay

5:43 the 30 bucks. So, I made the mistake of

5:45 thinking that I could drive around

5:46 aimlessly till I found a parking spot.

5:49 This did not prove beneficial because it

5:52 took an exorbitant amount of time and

5:55 years off my life based on the amount of

5:58 stress

6:00 trying to find a stupid parking spot.

6:02 But success has happened and now going

6:06 on to the event. But I always had this

6:08 philosophy that it's better just to pay

6:11 the money to park than to deal with the

6:13 stress. And today I neglected to follow

6:16 my own advice. So now my stress level is

6:19 up here and it's now slowly slowly

6:22 tapering back. Okay, carrying on. One of

6:25 the downfalls of street parking is I

6:27 only get 2 hours. It's the face of a

6:29 woman right here. Look at this. This

6:31 mural in the face of a woman outside

6:33 this hotel.

6:35 I don't think I'm allowed to go that

6:37 way.

6:38 They got it taped off pretty good.

6:40 Pretty good. Let's go down here. Here it

6:42 is. Look at this.

6:45 Race cars right on the water in Long

6:48 Beach.

7:13 Check out all of the tires they have in

7:15 case one of the cars lose control

7:19 of those tires.

7:28 It's pretty cool seeing those cars whip

7:28 around the track like that. There's also

7:30 like a whole little area here where you

7:32 can buy food and knickknacks and things.

7:35 So, you know, that's where I'm headed.

7:37 Kind of similar the same things they

7:38 have at like a county fair. That's what

7:41 these food carts remind me of. They

7:43 probably were at the fair. They probably

7:44 go from the fair to different events all

7:46 around the country. That's what I'm

7:48 guessing. Out of all the booths out

7:50 here, the California Lottery booth has

7:52 the most people in it. I guess race fans

7:54 really like to gamble. Okay, I take that

7:56 back. This has the longest line I've

7:59 seen so far. In line to meet this guy,

8:03 King Taco. I got to be honest though, I

8:05 really don't know what I want to eat for

8:07 lunch. H decisions, decisions. The

8:09 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Get

8:12 your merchandise right there. Is that

8:20 here seems to be like the little kitty

8:20 play area. I'm still looking for food

8:22 though. Still looking for food. Whoa,

8:24 look at that mural. That's cool. Look at

8:26 that. They had this crazy little toy

8:29 racetrack in there. The cars were

8:30 speeding by so incredibly quick. And the

8:33 people who were the pit crew had to stop

8:34 them from wrecking and putting them back

8:36 on there. They were moving really,

8:38 really fast. It was pretty cool. Dang,

8:40 those look really good. This is what I'm

8:43 consuming. A bacon wrapped humongous

8:47 either a sausage or a hot dog. I'm not

8:49 sure which. Doesn't matter cuz they're

8:51 both very delicious. Some onions. Some

8:54 green peppers. And what is this

8:56 gargantuan pepper off to the right? I

8:58 don't know if I should eat that, but

9:00 they gave it to me. Do you ever think

9:01 about how awesome certain inventions

9:03 are? Ones that get forgotten about, like

9:06 napkins. If I did not have a napkin, I

9:08 would be running around like a dog

9:10 licking my paws.

9:41 They're trying to stop us off. Oh, that

9:41 guy's doing a little vlog himself in the

9:42 back of that truck. Okay, I'm crossing.

9:45 Just crossing over the racetrack right

9:46 now. This might be a little dangerous.

9:49 Oh, is there a Look, there's a ramp

9:51 right there. There's a freaking ramp

9:53 right next. What's this guy doing? He

9:55 really wants in that bathroom. Whoa.

9:57 What's going on over there? That's not

9:59 politically correct. That guy was

10:00 seriously banging on the porta potty

10:02 door for about 20 seconds before I

10:04 actually filmed the little bit that I

10:05 filmed pushing it back and forth. I

10:07 don't know if his friend was in there,

10:08 his wife was in there. Got to love

10:11 alcohol. Is it just me or is this fire

10:13 hydrant really long and narrow? More

10:15 long and narrow than a normal fire

10:17 hydrant. Maybe I'm overthinking it. My

10:20 two hours on my parking meter has

10:21 expired. I want to thank Jesse for the

10:23 ticket to the race here in Long Beach.

10:25 Really cool. I think from what I heard,

10:27 someone said this was the last year

10:28 they're going to be doing this. So, it

10:30 was cool that I got to check this out.

10:31 This, however, really cracks me up. You

10:36 think they could just put like a

10:37 barricade up? One of those Bob's

10:38 barricades. You know that guy Bob that

10:40 runs that barricade company that you see

10:42 everywhere? Nope. They just put up some

10:45 caution tape. I don't know if you can

10:47 see it or not, but on the side of that

10:49 building, there's a few metal gentlemen

10:53 on a tight rope, swinging from it, doing

10:56 their calisthenics right on the side of

10:58 that building. You don't see that every

11:00 day. After that hot dog and all that

11:02 pre-racing fun, I'm really thirsty.

11:21 And now it's time for Ask Adam the Woo.

11:21 Don't forget the hashtag. I still want

11:22 to know about the Kplunk tattoo. A quick

11:24 story about it, please. This is a tattoo

11:26 from the Green Day album Kurplunk. And

11:29 it's tattooed on my arm. I got the

11:31 tattoo about 10 years ago, maybe even

11:32 longer than that. Now, Green Day has

11:34 moved on to become bigger and better

11:36 things. There are this huge band. I

11:38 think they actually got inducted into

11:40 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am

11:42 more of an old school Green Day fan. In

11:44 fact, Mike Durn, the bass player, never

11:46 met him personally, but subconsciously

11:48 and vicariously, he motivated me and

11:51 inspired me to pick up the bass guitar,

11:54 which led me to a career in music. I

11:56 don't play in bands anymore, but I still

11:58 have my Green Day tattoo. Where do I get

12:01 a pair of those awesome red and white

12:02 sunglasses you sport? These things are

12:04 pretty hard to find these days. A few

12:06 years ago, they used to have them at

12:08 Disney outlets around Orlando, the CMI,

12:10 Florida area, and I got a few pair. In

12:12 fact, there's a vlog from years ago of

12:15 me selling a few pair off. Day number

12:18 181 is where you can find the glasses.

12:21 Look, there they are. Look. Look at this

12:25 oranges. That's a rotten orange. Don't

12:29 look at the rotten orange. But look at

12:30 this. I wish I had not have sold them

12:32 now because this is my last pair. So, if

12:34 you know how to get a hold of some, get

12:37 a hold of me because I would like to

12:38 purchase some more of these because once

12:41 these are broken,

12:44 they don't exist anymore. And I know

12:46 they're out there. They're very hard to

12:47 find. Disneyland does not have them

12:49 anymore. Walt Disney World does not have

12:51 them. Even the outlets do not have them.

12:54 Sad. How do you unwind after a long day

12:56 of filming? PS. First tweet ever.

12:59 Welcome to the wonderful world of

13:01 tweeting, my friend. How do I unwind?

13:04 That's a very good question. Usually, I

13:06 just relax, maybe get a little snack

13:08 before bed, maybe watch a couple YouTube

13:10 videos or watch a sitcom on DVD and just

13:14 kind of wind down. I'm more of an early

13:16 to bed, early to rise kind of guy, so I

13:18 go to bed kind of early. A lot of

13:20 quietness, a lot of peaceful quietness.

13:24 I don't like a lot of crazy noise. Like

13:27 my cell phone's always on silent. I

13:29 don't really have the radio blaring. If

13:31 I'm not in front of the television

13:33 watching it, the television is not on.

13:35 So, I just kind of like to be alone with

13:37 my thoughts a lot of times. That's

13:39 pretty much how I wind down. Since you

13:40 go to so many places to eat, do you ever

13:42 cook? And if so, what's your favorite? I

13:45 must admit, I am very much a slacker

13:46 when it comes to cooking at home. I

13:48 don't know why. I did it for a long

13:50 time, but recently, especially since I

13:52 do the vlogs, I always like to

13:54 experience new things and eat out more

13:55 than often. Eat about once a day.

13:57 Normally every day I either eat lunch or

13:59 dinner somewhere and I usually show it

14:01 in the vlog. People sometimes ask, "Why

14:03 do you eat out so much?" And it's kind

14:05 of weird because it's kind of the nature

14:06 of the beast by showing these in these

14:08 daily vlogs because people want to see

14:10 what I'm eating and what I'm doing.

14:12 Sometimes I don't like eating out

14:13 though. Sometimes I will make stuff at

14:15 home. But when I say that, I say that

14:17 with a grain of salt because it's

14:18 usually a microwavable meal or a pot pie

14:22 in the oven or some ramen soup or

14:24 something that can be cooked very

14:27 easily. I am no Jack Tripper. I am not a

14:30 chef. Much as I like John Ritter,

14:32 unfortunately,

14:35 I can't cook. And in case you didn't

14:36 notice, I am taking this Q&A today very

14:40 casual and I've taken my socks off.

14:43 Don't be alarmed.

14:46 They're not nuclear. Are you telling me

14:47 that these socks are nuclear? Of course,

14:50 for the nuclear reaction, I need a

14:52 nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21

14:55 gigawatts of the socks I need. Why do I

14:58 sound so much like Seinfeld when I do

15:00 Dr. Brown? And that has been another

15:01 edition of Ask Adam. Ask Adam the woo.

15:06 The ask was like a little too deep.

15:07 instead of ask I said ask

15:11 ask

15:17 tweet me

15:17 # Adam tweet me and put a video clip so

15:20 I can show you guys yourself in the vlog

15:25 ask Adam the

15:55 to make a sandwich, watch some TV,

15:55 and hit the hay.
