11% down overall in the last 30 days shows what I've been seeing on a daily basis
and thank you to Adam for the early Christmas present of mailing it in for this flight vlog, only 20 mins and wow, that a title!
"Flying to Florida / Leaving California" is truly amazing, and then the end tag of Delta Airlines! As Adam says, they can't all be gems. Or most of them. Or 99.999% of what he commits to the SD card, really.
Does he find someplace else, anyplace else, besides the cliffs overlooking PCH and the Santa Monica pier to do the intro? No, he does not. Gets the coffee, walks across the street, and it's just like the day before. He then begins the laundry list of details and tasks:
Why he needs to list obvious and mundane things constantly, and do it in the most mind-numbing way possible, I have no idea.
Yes, it's the pier, the Camera Obscura building, literally all the same stuff, why not? Then he actually Woopeats this mural and still goes into the whole backstory that he doesn't have right (per usual) and will never bother to research to understand correctly
To LAX, where Adam's usual routine is slightly modified by his parents, who are not used to flying. I can see where Adam gets his brazen attitude toward bringing potentially dangerous things through TSA like cans of soup. Apparently Mama Woo forgot she had a water in her bag, and Rev. Jim had another liquid item that Adam says is "more than 6 oz" (Adam, buddy, the TSA rule is 3.4 oz, not 6 oz). Adam says "they are very picky here at this airport about the over 6 oz thing". Again, I don't even know what to say, he is clueless and I don't know how he constantly travels and doesn't know this. Again, international should be interesting on so many fronts.
The plus of having the parents along is that we don't have to see the socks and laptop and belt. Off to spend 1.5 hours in the Sky Club. Oh, it's a buffet, let's see what's there...Adam seems to be surprised breakfast tacos exist?
For a guy whose who life centers around pop culture, Adam has some glaring blind spots. He sees these drawings (he calls them "photos") in the lounge and does not have any idea who these characters are (and again - these aren't hung crooked, his gimbal is crooked. He's going to go off on international with a messed up camera, isn't he?)
"not really sure what all these photos are or who these people are supposed to be but there's like a line of these photos going down the road here in the lounge" - for real clueless, or playing dumb for engagement because his views are so low? Normally I'm in the "for real clueless" camp, but I would entertain the thought of "playing dumb for engagement" in this case, for sure.
Adam finds the plane at the gate, always of utmost importance to capture that for the vlog, and he tries in vain to explain their seating:
He used to just do one shot of the plane through the slivers of window at the end of the jetway right before boarding. Then he moved to a double, where he goes in once, gets it, then moves out and takes a step or two, then goes back in for a second shot. I predicted that he would, at some point, start doing it a third time. Either he's trolling me, or his OCD is getting worse, because he did the triple end of jetway shot for the first time in this vlog.
safety card, Crocs n socks feetpeat, takeoff, clouds, all that usual stuff.
Flying reminds him of Superman, and he sees that the plane has the new Christopher Reeve doc (Adam continues to call him "Chris Reeves", so he still can't get the last name right) and says he might watch it once they are up in the air
It says right there, "The Christopher Reeve Story", he's staring at it as he points the camera at it, but he has to say Reeves. If I ever met Adam I'd tell him I was a huge John Ritters fan and see how he reacts. If he corrected me, I'd mention Chris Reeve.
Even though he's not in First Class, Adam thinks everyone wants to see his little cup of free coffee. "There it is, Central Florida" he says. How amazing. "I am pretty dang excited to be back." Are you really? Then why do you keep leaving all the time? You'll be shocked to know the Chris...OMG, he figured it out...Reeve! doc was "really good, really sad"
. The usual ATW review. He then acknowledges his Reeve/Reeves issue and has to explain it (George Reeves, blah blah, we've heard it all before Adam).
With pain in his voice he points out Universal Studios Florida, and notes that he doesn't even know what it's officially called anymore. His 9000th landing into Orlando, he continues to point out every single thing, per usual.
The mundane usual MCO stuff starts: it's Gatelink time, we're waiting for the Gatelink, we're on the Gatelink, it's the Christmas tree. Amazingly, he did NOT visit the Weary Traveler statue. I bet if the parents weren't there, he would have.
A friend of the parents is picking them up, and Adam left his car at the parents' house, so no parking or transport costs for him on the return trip. He's saving money left and right...the vlog is over.

- who they are....him and his parents
- where they are...Santa Monica
- headed to the airport...LAX

- that, shockingly, when they get home, his parents will...go home
- he will...go home
- the sun is...rising
- they are traveling....west coast to east coast

My original reply didn’t post but those portraits are so lost on him because they’re not an 80’s reference but they’re so sick!

I watched a little bit of his vlog today. He had to fly to Germany because his mother had a heart attack (she’s ok). He also mentioned that he has a trip to Germany booked for February. No doubt that’s with the Woo.

Has there been a poll yet as to where we think he'll start with International travel? It might be good for the start of the next thread
Yes you can only make a poll as the first post of a new thread. Great idea we would have to limit it to 20 or so countries I believe.

Mr. One Shorts looking for needy underage girl to do anything for quick cash. The more desperate and needy the better. Must be willing to be subservient to a big ugly turd that would frighten the polish off your toes. A cute giggly girl will be paid adequately to overlook and navigate a sea of dingleberry's and the body of a 90-year-old hermit. And, the lucky candidate must live by the words of the late great Captain Beefheart, "Lick my decals off baby, ‘n I don’t want you to be lazy."

They were pretty cool, and then I knew they were even cooler than that because he had no idea what they were
__________________________________________________________________________________________
It seems to me the negative comment ratio is getting higher and higher lately
I hate to break it to you, amigo, but your country is not considered "real" international and who knows when he'll get around to it
Do you think Delta would let them in if they weren't allowed in? In Adam's words, "they are pretty strict with this stuff"
Today's edition of "Tell me you don't watch without telling me you don't watch"
Sorry Joanne, Adam doesn't take requests. Also, he apologized in advance before this trip to bear with him before international...which will also be a lot of airports and airplane rides. Also, don't expect a civil response, you're lucky you weren't explicitly told to stop watching
Lots of negative today, and he's responding to a lot of it, too
"without milking my audience for money"? I'll address this at the end of this post...
Our prayers are answered! WDW at least half the days between now and Jan 1 departure day.
How much will it bother him if he can't get a daily video out when he "goes international"? He will go insane...
"Maybe" = Definitely
Yes, what a fantastic idea...let me save you the trouble: Joe Rodhe didn't design the Polynesian Tower, it's not on the Pacific Ocean, and it looks like a larger, fancier Comfort Inn and Suites.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
OK, my thoughts on what Adam always uses as a shield: the fact that he doesn't sell merch or digitally panhandle via Paypal or Patreon or memberships or whatever.
Is there really any difference between any of that and what Adam does? You're still asking for something in exchange for something. You might be asking for a bit less, yes, and not directly for cash out of people's pockets, yes. But compared to others, are you really even asking for less? Most channels are not daily. So they ask viewers to watch a WELL-PRODUCED AND EDITED 15 or 20 or 30 min video twice a week, and the associated ads that come with those videos. Adam asks them to watch a POS 30 min video EVERY DAY, 7 days a week. It's a much larger time investment that Adam asks - obviously not everyone complies (very obviously)
In ALL these cases, no one is forcing anyone to do anything - to watch, to join Patreon, to becoming a paying subscriber, to buy a t-shirt or a mug or whatever. It's all of free will. So I'll ask: why is selling t-shirts or providing extra content or asking people who really enjoy supporting you for a few extra dollars via donation described by Adam as "MILKING" the audience? But asking them to watch a 30 minute video with FOUR sets of ad breaks EVERY DAY isn't milking them, it's simply pure innocence and honesty? When that content is clearly inferior to the content other channels that are not daily put out? When there is no difference (in my mind) between people's time and their money? Time=money. Money=time.
Anyway, that's the way I look at it. You don't get this free pass and become the Saint of YouTube just because you stopped selling merch and (after years) finally took your Patreon down. Hasn't it been a year since you did a giveaway? Giveaways that had no rules and no proof that you followed through? Please, give the choirboy act a break.

Ah, back to the grindstone now that vacation is over...
But is he "really good"? And did any part make you "sad"?

Just watching Passing Through Productions's latest video, and I think he and some people over on the other place are getting it all wrong about Adam's initial international destination. Yes, Adam indicated that at some point in the future he would be using Hawaii/Aulani as a "jump point" for international travel. But he said other things that people seem to be ignoring, so just for the record:
That's what he said, and obviously the emphasis is mine. So when Arron makes a video talking about how he thinks Adam's first destination could be Japan, Australia or New Zealand because he's using Hawaii as a jump point, I think that's presumptuous and most likely way off the mark.
Could it be? Certainly. But he definitely won't be staying at Aulani if he stops in Hawaii for a few days on his way to one of those places, it would need to be booked way ahead and he only booked this trip while on the balcony a few days ago...at Aulani. And for him to go right back to Hawaii after just being there, even if for a few days, for his very first international trip? I can't see it.
Will he use Hawaii at some point in future as a jump point? Yup. Is it happening in January for the first trip? I highly, highly doubt it.

"Now I'll definitely be back, this is one of my DVC home resorts. I don't know if I'll be back next year, and I don't know if I'll ever stay this amount of days in the future. I'll probably use this as a jump point...but I'm going to be using this as a jump point to doing a lot of international travel over time. Don't know if I'll ever stay eight or nine days here again anytime in the very near future, and I also should say right up here on this balcony this morning I booked my first international travel trip 2025 for January no spoilers but it's going to be a good one."

If Adam is going to be using Hawaii as layover. Is he considering other Polynesian islands such as Fiji and the islands that make up the sections ? Or would he consider those to be like how he considers Canada and Mexico?

Oh boy, Adam will reveal the power pole again very soon! (I thought he might save that for his Only Fans accounts.)
If Adam's views keep dropping precipitously, he might have to reactivate patreon and set up a line of cheap merch or something to bring in cash. He might try to get one of those cushy deals as a spokesman for ugly shirts like Paging Mr. Morrow. Everyone sees what a lavish spender Adam is!
The mediocrity and banality of his channel are more evident each day once you compare it to competent vloggers who offer glossier packages of content. Everybody is using fancy editing on the channels that have millions of subs and views. Adam's "act" impresses people who like the morally upright values he seems to represent, but only if they knew about his thirsty IG posts and his hookups with OF teeny-cosplay strippers.

So Disney Animated Treadmill Time has gone the way of the Woodio, the MLB Stadiums recap vlog, Fit by 50, etc. . Sad times.
As far as Woo's first destination, I did think of Australia because he's the kind of dumbass who'd pick a country that starts with 'A' as his first destination, but I can't see him willingly sitting on a plane for that long. Flying from MCO to Europe, or from Orlando to another city on the coast for an avoidable layover, and then to Europe seems much likelier.

Hello. I'm here to discuss being punk rock vs not being punk rock.
I learned recently that Avril Lavigne got banned from MTV TRL in 2004 because she flipped off the camera whilst denying the label of "punk rocker" placed on her by the media. Say what you will about her now yet denying being placed in a subculture by the media and showing your disdain with such irreverence to the camera to the point where the big, bad tv corporation at the time throws a tantrum and bans you is pretty bleeping punk rock in it's own way.
You know what's not punk rock? Cheap tattoos picked off the artist's catalog book and bending over for the world's largest media corporation (Disney). You choosing to hang out with known greedy, untalented bigots. You making corny-ass funny-in-5th-grade-"jokes" with your sycophant "friends" in kid's theme parks. You stalking an ex-"friend" and paying OF girls to fill the void she left. You throwing fits when life doesn't blow you until it gets lockjaw and instead gives you a reality check. Adam is about as punk rock as Barry Manilow singing Let It Go.

Daphne looks really good and happy here. Good for her.
To be fair, while I've seem these before, I have no clue either. So if someone can tell me, I'd like to know.
GIV takes a 8 hour flight to Germany, plus the crap you have to do on either side of the flight, so 10/11 hour day just dealing with airports. Yet dumb duck Adam can't drive an easy one hour drive to visit his dad in the same bleeping state when he will ill.
