Why I Stopped Hitting Record

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’m back after a few weeks away from the channel, and honestly? I’ve been in my own head about a lot of things. The main reason for the silence is work—a major project I’ve been building for the past year finally went live, and it led to a promotion that I’m genuinely grateful for but also weirdly anxious about. It’s that strange feeling when good things happen and you don’t quite know how to process them.

My Thoughts on Adam the Woo's 52nd Birthday

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on Adam the Woo and what would have been his 52nd birthday. I’ll be honest—I don’t have the same deep personal connection with Adam that so many of his devoted followers do, but that doesn’t diminish the profound impact he’s had on my life and perspective. His passing hit me in a way I didn’t expect, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the legacy he left behind and what it means for people like me who are trying to live more intentionally.

I Haven't Earned It Yet

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, I found myself standing in front of a sign at Universal Studios City Walk, feeling the pull of a familiar phrase that belongs to my friend Adam the Woo. But as much as I wanted to say it, I couldn’t - because I haven’t earned it yet. This video is about what it means to inherit someone’s voice when you showed up late, and if you know the cost that Adam has paid to build what he’s built, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. For those who are part of the Circle of Goodness, this one’s for you. I’m grateful to be part of a community that appreciates the journey, the struggle, and the lessons learned along the way. Sometimes, we have to hold back from claiming a mantra or a voice that doesn’t fully belong to us yet. But that’s okay - it’s all part of the process of earning our stripes and finding our own unique path.

A Touching Encounter at the Local Mall #shorts

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I was just running some quick errands at the local mall when a stranger approached me. At first, I thought he might be trying to sell me something or ask for money, but as soon as he started talking, I realized this was no ordinary encounter. He recognized me from my YouTube channel and mentioned how much he enjoyed my videos, especially the ones about my good friend Adam The Woo. I was blown away - not only that this random person watched my vlogs, but that we had this shared appreciation for Adam’s work. We instantly connected over our love for Adam’s unique and inspiring spirit. It was such a heartwarming moment, just two strangers bonding over something we’re both so passionate about. We talked for a good 10-15 minutes, sharing stories and memories about Adam and how his videos have impacted our lives. By the end, I felt like I had made a genuine connection with this person. It was a truly moving experience that reminded me of the power of shared interests to bring people together, even in the most unexpected places.

I Wore My Adam the Woo Shirt in Public and Something Happened

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

Today, I decided to wear my brand new Adam the Woo t-shirt to the Simi Valley Town Center mall, hoping to be approached by fellow fans of the popular YouTube creator. While the expected horde of fans didn’t materialize, I did have a brief but meaningful encounter that really got me thinking about the impact Adam the Woo has had on my life. As I walked around the mall, I couldn’t help but reflect on my appreciation for Adam, his family, and all the experiences I’ve had since discovering his content. It’s been remarkable to see the reach and influence he’s had, not just on me, but on so many others as well. The brief interaction I had today was a reminder of the special connection his fans share, and it made me realize just how meaningful his work has been. I couldn’t wait to share this story with all of you, as I believe it’s a beautiful testament to the power of connection and community that can be fostered through the world of online content creation. I’d love to hear if you’ve had a similar experience with Adam the Woo or any other creator whose work has resonated with you in a profound way.

Don’t Let Negativity Stop You From Invoking Adam The Woo #shorts

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I know, I know - some people might think I’m a little crazy for being so passionate about Adam The Woo. But you know what? I don’t care! If making videos about this dude brings me joy, then that’s what I’m gonna do. Haters gonna hate, but I’m not letting anyone’s negativity stop me from doing my thing. In my latest #shorts video, I talk about how you shouldn’t be afraid to pursue your passions, even if they might seem a little quirky to others. At the end of the day, life is too short to worry about what other people think. So keep doing you, and don’t ever apologize for the things that make you happy!

Chris, I'm Talking Just to You Right Now

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

It’s Friday, my dog is healing nicely, and I’m picking up my kids from school (my son went home sick). The real reason for this video is a message for Chris Provost of Park Pass. He may never see it, but it was important for me to say it. I’m grateful for his generosity to me and Rachel, and I’m still amazed that someone who is a serious content creator with lots of subscribers took the time to help me out.

My 14 Year Old Daughter Did WHAT to My Arcade Cabinet?!

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

This vlog starts on the drive home after dropping my daughter off at school, with a couple of false starts to get a natural take. I explain that I started calling her “daughter” a few years ago, inspired by the way Thanos says it in the Infinity Saga Avengers movies, and it just stuck. My mornings start early since I work for a company in the Central time zone, so by the time the school run rolls around I’ve already been online, checked on our sick dog Wicket, and watched an Adam the Woo video.

Here's What Inspired Me to Vlog Instead of Worrying About Dying.

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I headed out for a much-needed haircut and used the drive to talk about something heavy that’s been on my mind for most of 2025: death. It started with a close friend being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which stirred up the grief from losing another friend about ten years ago, right after he turned 40. Then my wife Rachel was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and that was when it really hit home that we’re all here on borrowed time, even the people closest to me. I know death is a reality. I’m just paralyzed by it, and that fear bleeds into my family life and my work.

A Stranger Gave Me Tickets to Adam the Woo's Celebration of Life

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

About ten days ago there was no way I was getting into the Adam the Woo celebration of life. The tickets were sold out and I was shut out. Today I have two tickets in my hand and I’m going. I didn’t know Adam when he was alive. I only saw a handful of his movie location videos by accident and never subscribed. I discovered him after he passed, a couple of days before Christmas, when another vlogger had an emotional outpouring about the news. I’ve been binging his content ever since, and it’s what keeps me dedicated to recording and publishing on this channel after years of false starts.

I Want To Write a Eulogy for Adam The Woo's Father, Mother and Sister To Express My Gratitude

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

It’s President’s Day, the house is quiet, and I’m trying to work but I’m really distracted, mostly by thoughts of Adam the Woo. It’s a little embarrassing to admit, since I don’t know him the way everyone else does, but his content has become a big part of my everyday life. I almost always wind down my day with a video or two or three, whether it’s Adam enjoying the Magic Kingdom on a rainy day or touring his apartment in Celebration. His passing is also what made me get serious about vlogging. I’d had plenty of false starts over the past 10 years of doing YouTube stuff, but seeing the treasure trove he left behind made me want to do the same for my family and friends.

Adam the Woo's Celebration of Life is SOLD OUT -- Wish I Could Go!

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

We’re in the car on the way to the Pantages Theater, and I couldn’t stop thinking about Adam the Woo, so I decided to talk about it on the drive. This channel exists because of the inspiration I got from him. He was a vlogger who did his thing for a very long time, and he passed away on December 22nd. I honestly didn’t pay much attention to him while he was alive, other than stumbling on a couple of his filming-location videos for movies I liked. It wasn’t until Brickey broke the news on his channel that I really dug in and binged his content.

Starting an AI Atari Project, Birthday Stuff and Adam the Woo’s Legacy

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’ve got a few things on my mind this week. It’s Rachel’s birthday, and we’re taking Friday off to go to a KROQ event here in Los Angeles. She’s a huge fan of the station and the morning show, so she’s looking forward to it far more than I am. Birthday presents are tough in our house because we usually just get what we want right away. This year was special since she’s now cancer-free, so I got her a little trinket with some writing on it about how she inspired me and what she went through. It was hard being the husband on the sidelines, and I can’t read it out loud without getting emotional.

My Wife on Camera, Turning Vlogs into Blogs, and Remembering Adam the Woo

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

This is one of my sit-at-the-desk catch-up videos, and I’ve got a lot to share. First up, I built an auto-generated blog that turns the videos on this channel into blog entries. I’m not interested in chasing the YouTube algorithm or reworking my thumbnails. This channel is a brain dump, mostly for me, my friends and my family. But I still want people to find it, like someone searching for what it’s like to be the husband of a wife with breast cancer. Google and YouTube are the two biggest search engines, so my goal was to bring traditional search traffic to my vlog without having to manage a blog on the side.
