Adam the Woo #22 Bein’ a Schlub in a Tub

BTW, Publix doesn't even have loyalty cards. Everyone automatically gets the sale and bogo prices. In fact, you can even just buy 1 at half price.

Back in Celebration, and it's time for Adam to have a relaxing day. You know, it's hard work traveling and vacationing with elderly parents, Adam needs a break! Time to start the day at 3:30pm and cruise around Celebration to look at Christmas decor. Yup, that's the vlog. Oh, and getting his customary at-home dinner at Publix. You know it's a thrilling vlog when you including "shopping at Publix" in the title.

Yes, although the previous day's travel vlog only did 32k views in the first 24 hours, Adam couldn't muster the energy to hit up a WDW park or even Disney Springs to check out Christmas decor there. He could barely crawl into the clown car and drive around Celebration. Looking for those signs, maybe?

It's "Young Adam", by the way:

But before he really gets into that, he must head downtown and slide back into his OCD routine of parking and coffee. And he leans into it, otherwise how could this be a THIRTY THREE minute vlog about some Christmas decorations and getting dinner at Publix, right? Yes:
  • he lived in downtown Celebration for 3 yrs before he bought his house (I guess his house is in the "suburbs" of Celebration? The "countryside" of Celebration?)
  • parking in downtown Celebration is hard!
  • they will tow you!
  • parking isn't so hard now because he has "mini Marge" his glorified golf cart
  • Celebration has spaces dedicated to parking glorified golf carts
  • those spaces have signs
  • the car on the sign looks just like his glorified golf cart
  • sometimes full sized real cars park in those spots!
  • make fun of signs that prohibit things
  • the old "if you're playing a drinking game..." bit
Adam purposely films this menorah and also purposely does not mention it at all. Perhaps he's trying to figure out what character from Beauty and The Beast it was?

Adam purposely films this and purposely mentions what it is and that it's "the reason for the season"
View attachment 3328750 q

His coffee is not a regular coffee (because he's "off the rails"), it's a peppermint mocha latte for that sugary carb burst. Then he shows another nativity scene and then this sign:
View attachment 3328755 q

It's like a week with Rev. Jim really rubbed off on him...I wonder if the family or any portion of the family went to church services while at Aulani?

I'm sure he doesn't even remember which houses he's already looked at, but he goes and rides and walks past them all again anyway. Of course he has to mention Jeater Bend, how it isn't what is used to be, and goes by to see how it's fallen from grace. He stops at a house that is mainly Christmas Vacation themed. That movie is possibly the most quotable film of all time, but the only ones he can pull out are the most famous profane one and the most famous sexual one, like a 10 year old boy.

At one point he makes an very odd, space-y, machine-like sound when he pans the camera from one side of the street to the other...he's never done that before. It was almost like the sound he makes when he turns the camera around into selfie mode, but it was just panning from one side of the street to the other. You'd have to see/hear to really understand how bizarre, childlike and unhinged it is...20:45 mark exactly.

I can't imagine being 50 years old, not living in an urban setting most of my life, and being excited about spotting deer walking around. I mean, he's got to be faking enthusiasm for this, right?
View attachment 3328963 q

He drives by them, filming, then parks, gets out and approaches them on foot, saying "hey sweetie":
View attachment 3328974 q

Interesting that he approaches deer and women he's interested in romantically in the same way. But seriously, just leave the deer alone, they don't need you walking up to them with your camera, talking to them. He does realize they don't understand English, right? Does he think they will let him pet them or something?

Hey, fun fact, this water tower does not have water in it. Were you aware? :rolleyes:
View attachment 3328986 q

10 oz. of hummus, and 16 oz. of artichoke and spinach dip.
View attachment 3329004 q

He goes by the Crunchmaster crackers just to show them, but says he doesn't need to buy any because he's got several bags at home (I thought he couldn't keep food at home otherwise he eats it uncontrollably?). He also says "they're not crackers" - it literally says they are crackers on the package...
View attachment 3329006 q

Then he grabs his massive salad (it's not Boar's Head this time, he says he's staying away from the Boar's Head - I think he saw someone in his comments alert him to the news a while ago about Boar's Head's issues in their processing plants). This "salad" is full of bacon, eggs, and cheddar cheese, plus whatever that lovely packet of creamy dressing is.
View attachment 3329010 q

and just for an "extra" snack in case he gets hungry in between eating the above, he grabs these potato chips:
View attachment 3329012 q

Can't forget the standard can of chickpeas even though he's already got the tub of hummus, right?
View attachment 3329016 q

And the cottage cheese, have to have that essential ingredient in the patented "ATW PUBLIX Dinner". They are buy one get one, but Adam doesn't think he has a Publix card...yes, he shops exclusively for grocery items at Publix and does not have a loyalty card. But then realizes he probably does and just doesn't remember (which means he might as well not have one, since he never uses it)
View attachment 3329023 q

Dessert, anyone? (Yes, he bought both of them)
View attachment 3329020 qView attachment 3329036 q

And to wash it all down....WATER! Just joking, it's Arizona Green Tea with 34g of sugar
View attachment 3329013 q

In between grabbing all these items, Adam is roaming the store, picking out items and doing "comedy bits" about them, very much like when he makes fun of signs that prohibit things. For example, he sees peanut butter than says it's 100% peanuts, and does a little routine about how if you're buying peanut butter, you don't want the one that's 36% peanuts, you want the one that is 100% peanuts. Yeah.

Now think about the MASSIVE amount of food he just bought...and then read what he says as he walks to the clown car:

"Alright, successfully got a meal for the night, and I got some cookies for the next few days. No way I'm going to devour all those cookies in one night, but I will devour a good portion of them. The salad and the chickpeas and the other things that I purchased, I'll just be chowing down on, watching The Grinch, Jim Carrey's The Grinch."​

"A" meal for the night...holy crap, I can't believe he eats all that in one night, and says he's going to eat half the cookies too. The vlog is over.
I’ve worked for Publix in the past and I soooo hope he films there again and gets told not to
 
With all the recent talk about Woo's views dropping, today's video is a great example of how he's running his own channel into the ground. Imagine you hadn't seen this guy before and YouTube recommended the video. What would compel anyone who wasn't already a fan to watch this? A middle-aged man drives around and looks at Christmas decorations and then buys himself dinner at a supermarket. Brutal content. No perspective, no thoughts, no views on anything, nothing to compel anyone to want to spend time, let alone 33 minutes, with this guy and that's long before knowing anything else about him.

I know he says he treats these videos like a daily diary, but diaries are often filled with introspection, or thoughts on events, ideas, perspective, a point-of-view, not just endless recaps of uninteresting days. I also know he won't do any of that, but he might have to think about it unless he wants this gravy train to join his diet in going off the rails.

Today's video is at 16k views after 7 hours, so yet another dud in a series of recent duds. Nine straight sub 50k videos! Whatever audience he has/had is just not interested in the crud he's churning out.

Maybe people are finally waking up and realize its the same tit over and over again. And are finally giving up on him.

I haven't watched the video yet but Publix does have a card now, Club Pub. And the getting one item half price thing (without buying one at full price) is only in certain states.. Most locations, you have to buy one and get one free.

Only in Florida do you have to buy 1 to get 1. In any other state at Publix the items are half price during that BOGO sale week.
Also the Club Pub iis really just to get online receipts on your app and store online coupons. Without any card you get the sale price rung up.
 
What is with vloggers and filming their stupid trips to Publix? bleeping bizarre that that counts as "content" at all.

Yes, and if you don't like it, he thinks you should stop watching. Apparently people are taking his advice
1734833763833.png


As if we didn't know it was coming...
1734833914768.png


Someone asked him if he was going to address the signs being up, his response:
1734834072251.png


Does he know what Festivus is? Does he get the reference?
1734834126904.png


Well, the "Young Adam" costume is working on someone...
1734834170618.png


I wanted to know what Christmas movie he's gorging himself while watching tonight, but the IG is quiet so far and it's been a long day of wrapping gifts and getting ready to host Christmas Day, so my curiosity will have to wait due to my eyes closing.

MK today? MGM? Epcot? The "two fer" MGM/Epcot combo? I'll go with MK - he probably checked out the Poly Tower. Plus his last two WDW park visits were Epcot and Epcot/MGM (the infamous OF date night, in fact).

I'm still surprised this hasn't happened yet, I wonder if he'll make time in the next 10 days?
1734834525779.png


One thing we know he won't be doing at all: preparing for international travel, where ever it may be.
 
'Tis the season of the Home Alone movies being shoved down our throats. I'm sure Adam is the kind of person to skip the scenes where Kevin is showing kindness to the outcasts of society and showing great integrity and instead belly laugh at the childish antics and traps. Perhaps letting out an insane cackle at Kevin making the hotel workers lives miserable the same way he does with real life laborers who he films without permission. What a modern say saint.
 
Did he burn up future DVC points for his recent Aulani trip? Not a DVC owner but my understanding is you can "borrow" points from the next year.
You can bank and borrow. He can also use points from his other contract if he is 7 months out or less from the booking. So if he has 600 points, he potentially has access up to 1800 points in a given year if he only uses points once every three years. There is a combination of things he could do. It is also not tied to calendar year, but use year.
 
Not true. In Florida you are required to buy both to get the Bogo. In NC where I live you only need to buy one and you can get it at half price.

It's due to tax laws per state. My mother worked for Publix for many years.

Florida doesn't tax food. So they can give a 2nd item, untaxed, for free.
Other states like NC, TN, AL, etc. do have existing food tax so they can do the 1/2 off of one.

If Publix could enforce the requirement for payment of a full-price item to get the BOGO in states other than the state of Florida (with no food tax and where Publix was started), trust me, they would.

(side note: if there's only 1 left on the shelf, it can be up to the individual store's discretion to charge you half in FL w/ a manual override/courtesy)
 
Over the past couple of years, Adam has said more than once that he needs to stop making proclamations about his life and what he's going to do. Even putting aside the weight loss goals he's made publicly and as part of his vlog for content and revenue purposes, Adam has:

  • declared he's not going to film at Disney parks anymore (he'd still go, he just wouldn't film)
  • declared he really needs to cut back on date-stamped "events"
  • declared that the best thing for his channel is to be on the road, in a car, driving around the US at least 75% of the time
  • declared the daily vlog was ending in 2017 (it did, for 6 months) on again on December 31, 2024 (already said it won't)
  • declared he has health insurance
  • declared he was going to watch this list (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls051452524/) of 62 (it's been expanded to 64 now) Disney animated classics and "I'll bang them out in a couple of months"
  • declared he would produce a "visiting every MLB stadium while rooting for the Rays" wrap up video

That's just off the top off my head, I'm sure there are many more I'm forgetting. Point is, the guy doesn't follow through on a lot of stuff he says, so his advice to himself was to stop proclaiming things. But he can't seem to take that advice, either. He said just the other day he was going to watch a Christmas movie every night up to or through Christmas. It was "The Grinch" night 1, and last night, night 2, was....Edward Scissorhands??? And then he follows that up 2 hours later with a post of the deer in town. "One of the amazing things about living here is the beautiful deer, just grazing here in town."

Like I said the other day, I can understand if you grew up and lived your whole life in New York City, or downtown Chicago, some dense, urban location, and suddenly moved at 50 years old to the 'burbs and you're amazed by the wildlife. But this guy has lived in places like this his whole life, he's approached deer off the trails in Celebration before, and has certainly seen them in person many, many times. To put on this act like he's having some magical experience because there are some deer in the neighborhood is sheer insanity.

Quoting myself... as I think I recall NC doesn't have tax on food either. My bad. (I have relatives in NC and I'd shop w/ them sometimes)
So the difference btwn FL and NC, specifically, is probably due to local/state laws/regulations re: promotions.

ALSO - why do we need to know about the Lakeland Antique Mall moving?!?!
And how many times is he going to show the damn Southgate Shopping Center?!?!? He's NUTS.
