I Lost My Best Friend, Mentor and Hero - I Can't Believe Adam the Woo is Gone

Hey guys, it's me. I'm sure that the vast majority of people watching this right now know what's happened. And that is that my best friend, my mentor, and my personal hero, Adam the Woo is has died he is he is no longer no longer no longer with us and I'm just I'm just letting I'm just I'm just talking I'm just talking about it I put a few notes on my phone of things I wanted to make sure I talked about but I I just wanted to talk

I just wanted to talk about Adam it was um it's Christmas Eve right now. It was, I guess, two days ago that I was at the Henry Ford Museum over in Detroit and I got a phone call while I was there. A mutual friend of me and Adams told me that he wasn't with us anymore and the shock, I mean just the shock. Adam was young, 51 years old. Adam was, appeared to be healthy. He was so active, he went out every day, went every day, out every day doing stuff. He was straight edge since he was young. He had never,

he never, you know, smoked, drank, or did drugs. Probably the last person, you know, of all my friends that I would Would expect to just suddenly die He lived, you know, what in my opinion is a very short life Fortunately, I mean the only The only thing that's like helping me. Hang on Hang on here and Giving me just a little

Glimmer through the darkness is Adam Adam lived every day of his life like it was a gift. Every day he got up and he had, you know, an adventure. I think it was probably around, gosh, I think about 15 years. And I'm just spitballing that, but he quit his job.

He quit his job. He was very unhappy, very unhappy with his job, very unhappy with his day-to-day life, his station in life, you know. He wanted more more and in characteristic Adam form he wanted something and he did it. He and you know

for probably a more coherent tribute Adam's friend Justin scarred

Put out a video talking about Adam and it was it was perfect. It was beautiful

and gave so much insight to who Adam was as a person, but

Like Justin said it was you know

Adam didn't like to sit around and talk about things about what I'm gonna do one day what I'm gonna do

You know, he wanted to get out there and do it. That's what he did he He just wanted you know, he told me I

Remember, he told me he said, you know, I can be broke in an apartment I could go to work every day to a job that I Hate And be broke and come back to my apartment He said or I could still be broke, but I could be but I could be traveling. I could be seeing the world. Remember he said, he said that, I remember he said he told someone once that you may be

um, you may be sitting at your office and I will be out here broke, but standing next to the world's ball of twine with a big goofy look on my face. Because that's, you know, things were more important. Things were more important than money to Adam. He was willing to sacrifice everything to to do what he wanted to do and people up till the day he died you know there was

people that told Adam you shouldn't be doing this, you should be doing something different. You should live more like everyone else. And Adam never cared. Adam played in punk rock bands, but he lived that punk rock lifestyle. It was more than how he dressed. It was more than the music he listened to. To him, it was, you know, punk rock was,

he didn't ask, he didn't ask permission. He didn't ask for help. He just did what he wanted and he didn't care. He didn't care if other people if other people approved of that and he lived this life. You know everyone thought he was crazy and he turned he turned he turned he just made this magical life, this adventure, this life for himself that

most people could only dream about having. And he, it all just started with him throwing a mattress, a blow-up mattress in the back of his old van one day and it paid off because and this is probably yeah probably one of the most valuable lessons Adam taught me was you know to bet on yourself to bet on yourself. That's advice that one day would change my life as well.

And you know, without Adam the Woo, there is, I'm not standing here right now. There's no carpetbagger, there's no carpetbagger YouTube channel without Adam the Woo. I first became familiar with Adam when I had a passion, always for years had a passion with traveling, roadside attractions, and abandoned places, I said to myself really I knew about the abandoned six flags

in um in New Orleans and I said is it possible is it possible that I could get in there I could sneak in there and I looked up I think I just put it into Google, and a video came up where someone actually was inside. And I pulled it up and the video was not what I was expecting. You know, back in the day, back in the day, you know, urban exploring was something that was like, had kind of this different

vibe to it. It was spooky, it was creepy, it was forbidden. But here you have this six-foot-four guy covered in tattoos and he's not just poking around, he's having the time of his life. He is showing his face, showing, you know, didn't care that people knew he was there. He was just having the time of his life. And, um, I never really watched YouTube much. I mean, I've been watching video here or there, but, um, I became

fascinated with this person

as I realized, you know, he would pop up again when I was looking for different stuff.

And I'm like, this guy doesn't just like abandoned places like I do. This guy loves roadside attractions. Like it blew me away. I mean, I thought this guy just went into abandoned buildings, but he loved roadside attractions. He'd been to all the places that I had wanted to go to but couldn't or didn't or wasn't able to figure out how. He traveled this country. I loved Disney. He loved Disney.

He made it happen. He made it happen. He made it happen. And I remember him him posting a video where he stumbled upon Pigeon Forge which was in my backyard and he was in love with the place as was I.

And and the way I met him, he put out on Facebook that he was going to be on Pigeon Forge that he was gonna be in Pigeon Forge that he was looking for suggestions things to do and you know I messaged him I'm like I know you know I

know Pigeon Forge pretty good you know I could show you some stuff and he's like oh good you know he sent me a message back dad just tell me tell me tell me a good place and we'll we'll meet up there. My first suggestion was Goats on the Roof. And I showed up at Goats on the Roof and I was really nervous just meeting

this larger than life person that I had seen on the internet. This huge personality. So I got there to Goats on the Roof and it was pouring down rain. I'm like, oh, this is ruined.

You know, I was trying to show him something cool and now it's pouring. And he sent me a message and it said, nice weather we're having. Do you have any other suggestions? So I said, okay, I got to think of something inside. So I was like, three bears, three bears gift shop. Notice I'm picking things that don't cost any money because I

Was broke and I didn't know you know didn't know how broke he was but he He said good. We'll meet you over there we showed up met him at

At I met him at the Three Bears gift shop and there was very little introduction. I think I had sent him my blog and I think he at least peeked at it, and he told me that, you know, he recognized, oh, cool, you know, that I knew a lot about roadside attractions, that I was, you know, a kindred spirit in that way.

And within just a few minutes, he just, you know, introduced ourselves, you know, told him, yeah, blah, blah blah blah, love the videos, and he's like, all right, let's do this. And at the time, he did videos differently. He would do a video every day

where it would be completely unedited. He would fire up his phone and he would film, and he just started filming. And he just, you could go watch that video. It was 12 years ago, 12 years ago at the Three Bears gift shop in Pigeon Forge.

And you can see how shy I am in the video. And I hardly say anything through the video. Don't know what to say. He is so animated. He's bouncing up and down. He's, I remember he climbed down

and like on this like bear statue. So it was like grabbing his face and he runs in and he pays for the food so he can feed the bears. We spent the video filming bears and I don't think we hung out much that day after that but the next time he was in the area I remember he asked me, next time he was in the area I suggested Cherokee,

Cherokee, North Carolina, he'd never been to Cherokee so I kind of showed him around, we did a couple videos there. Of course I wasn't filming videos at the time. I was taking photos. You can see I have my DSLR camera that did not take video. It just took still photos. And, um, yeah, and, uh, that was the beginning. That was the beginning of our friendship, you know, hung out a couple times, him coming down.

Um, remember when I did my first, my first trip to California, I had never been to California. I had a whole list of things I wanted to do and he invited me to stay into his home. This is just The generosity the generosity that Adam had was overwhelming You know for him to invite me, you know, he had no reason, you know, he had no obligation to invite me Into into into his home but he did and he but you know he had let me stay at his house you know when I was in Florida I could stay at his place you know next time I think you know always always yeah always just so generous Generous with that and

You know I said I Said at the beginning of this video that Adam was My best friend and that's absolutely true and you might say to yourself Looking at all the other messages looking at other tributes You may see other people say that Adam was their best friend and I'll tell you what it's true because Adam was everyone's best friend because

That's just who he was he was best friend to everyone You know to have it did though his light, you know that he brought with him you know, he was always just always made you feel special and I just want to talk like, you know, with me, um, you know, I, like I said, I was taking photos. I was doing my blog with a B and I thought about, you know, after, after I saw Adam, I'm like, you know, after I saw, you know, more YouTube videos, I was like, maybe I should do YouTube videos.

Maybe I should do videos because I don't know if people are reading blogs anymore. And you know, the biggest hangups were, like, I just didn't know why. I just didn't think I had a personality to be on camera. I didn't think I looked like the other people on YouTube and I just didn't know how to do it. You know I was overwhelmed and you know I modeled I modeled what I did on what I saw Adam do and you know it was... when I say he was my mentor I mean like he would

you know he would tell me he's like oh that looked really good or you know he would give me advice you know tell me how he does things or how he paces things you know little things like just little things I picked I learned from him I learned you know it was okay to to put quietness in videos so he called it a moment of a moment of in his videos he would he would show you know just a scenery not have talking necessarily for that part and he called it he didn't want to call it a moment of

silence because he said it sounded like someone't want to call it a moment of silence because he said it sounded like someone died. So he called it a moment of quietness and just little things like that. I could sit here and list everything he taught me, but really he taught me everything. Everything I know about filming a video, everything I know about putting together a video, I learned from watching him and took that advice out of his mouth and every bit of advice he ever gave me it paid off. I just listened.

I listened. When he told me to do something, that's not like he, and he wasn't like, oh you need to change this, you need to change this you need to change this it was always just you know just very kind very just you know listening to the car in the car and the car rides the drives together you know seeing how he filmed and and you know how he edited and that's you know I use those skills to build this

channel and you know I'm not I'm not exaggerating I owe him I owe him everything I owe him so much I I I wouldn't have what I have. I wouldn't have the life that I have. I don't know if I'd still be at, um, at CPS. Um, I would just say thank you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for helping me be who I was, even with the confidence watching him. He wasn't afraid.

He wasn't afraid to be stupid in public. He wasn't afraid. He wasn't afraid to be stupid in public. He wasn't afraid. He wasn't worried about people laughing at him. He wasn't worried about embarrassing himself. And I remember we were traveling, we were filming together, and he would be like, hey Jacob,

hey Jacob,

go get,

he'd like, there would be a statue of like a bear. He's like, go get on, go climb on the bear. I remember I said to him, we were doing it so much, I'm like, Adam, I'm a little worried

that I'm just gonna be noticed, the guy that rides statues in your videos. I've even heard silly comments, like silly comments were like, oh, you know, Adam's mean to Jacob. Like, no he's not. Like, no he's not. Like, it was, we were having so much fun.

Like it was a rapport. It was like, and I think Justin used the same comparison, but you know, I'm the oldest in my family. I don't have a big brother. I don't have a big older sibling. So he was kind of just kind of the big brother, the big brother that I never had.

You know, he didn't have a brother I was kind of I think I was like his little brother for once. That's what I was thinking about last night. I don't think, my biggest regret is this, I don't think I thanked him enough. I don't think. I hope that somewhere deep inside he knew, he knew how much he gave me.

But I wish, I wish I would have said thank you more often. You know, I'm, sometimes I have a hard time with those things, with like saying, telling people how I really feel about them and I hate that I man you know I loved him I loved him so much and like I said he was so grateful so generous I was talking to this talk another friend about this that you know you know Adam was no doubt a pioneer in this type you know there's all sorts of

different types of YouTube videos in this style this this you know theme park slash travel vlogging style this little corner this little corner YouTube has it all clumped together you know Adam was one of the first one of the first Adam and Tim Tracker were very much around the same time but Adam was an absolute pioneer in doing this and and just that simple just grab the camera and film yourself and go find fun stuff to do go to theme parks and Adam firetrucks Adam Adam, uh, Adam, uh, I'm taking a second to fire truck to try to get my thoughts together.

I'm sorry.

It's like I was saying, Adam, uh, oh, hey there. There's a dog. Um, Adam, he, uh, he, um, you know, he got that, he got that success. He got that momentum. Like I said, he was a pioneer in this style of vlogging. Adam had no reason, no reason at all to help anyone else.

He was near the top, on the top of this little section of YouTube, but Adam did not pull that ladder up behind him he helped raise everyone else you know people people that would be would be considered would be considered Adams competition you know technically if you want to like break things down like

there's only so many people out there there's only so many, you know, technically, if you wanna like break things down, like there's only so many people out there, there's only so many eyeballs, you know. I never looked at it this way either, but every vlogger is competing for attention. There's only so many hours in the day, people only have so much time to watch vlogs,

but Adam never viewed it that way. He never viewed it that way. He helped pull up other people that made the same type of content as him. You know I feel like I'm not the only channel out there that exists in its current form because of Adam's generosity. You know if you had a small channel you had a small following you know I remember him telling me he would be he's like oh you know I'm going to this area and he mentioned something

like like a local vlogger that had a small following he's like I'm gonna I'm gonna hit up that I'm gonna hit them up see if they want to hang out and you know and Adam would give them that exposure you know to see someone on Adam's channel, that was a big step because that was introducing them to maybe his audience and he was just always generous, always generous like that. even if you had people with very small channels, you know, he showed them, he hung out with them and he was just helping promote everyone else because that's just who he was.

You know, he wasn't trying to be the only game in town. It was almost like with him, it was almost like the more the merrier. You know, the more people doing this, the more community. But I don't think it was about, you know, I think with him it was just, it was just about, you know, I don't think he had any plan. I don't think he was trying to necessarily

build a community. I think that's just who he was. I think he just liked reaching out to kindred spirits and I think he liked helping people and he liked seeing people succeed. I remember You know what I went for what I went When I didn't full-time on my channel when I quit my job and went full-time he was so supportive he was like Yes, go for it. So proud of you like you posted on Facebook and it meant you know, it's not the world to me. It was just telling people how much

How much? You know, he appreciated me and he would always he would always tell me he would tell me he was you know He was like you you know a complimenting how much I could travel. I was also just thinking, you know, about his mentorship. I remember, you know, him teaching me to slow down, I think was one of the biggest things. I think it's really helped.

I would try to film like seven videos in one day. You know, I'd be with Adam and he would joke that I'd be like, okay, this video's over, let's start a new one. And Adam taught me through watching him and through listening to him, he just, he absorbed something.

And he told me, he told me he's like, and I asked him, why don't you do more than one video a day and he said he said I think people can tell I think people can tell you know when you're really into it people can tell when you're rushing people can tell you know those little things like you know they see you wearing the same clothes, they know that you've tried to make, you know, that you've you've rushed something and I took that to heart. I took that to heart and that's

why I don't do that's why I only do one video a day now so I could put everything, everything into it. I remember being on road trips with him and he would tell me, I would be like, oh we gotta film this and this and this and we can't miss this. I really gotta get over here. And he says, hey, let's save some stuff for next time.

And I don't know, it was a big deal to me. I was in such a hurry, like, I don't know, I was frantic. I had it in my head like I was only going to be in each place one time. I figured I would never have, there would never be a time where I'd come back. Come back to Albuquerque for another reason. But, obviously that's paid off and I've learned, I've learned to take my time, leave stuff

for next time. Pace yourself. Um, you know, put your heart into a video. Don't try to overextend yourself and make too many videos in one day. It's... oh man. and now you talk about this, this spirit of generosity, the people he touched. I, you know, I was surprised. I don't know why I was surprised,

but you know, when he passed away, all these mainstream publications, TMZ, People Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, USA Today, they all reported on Adam's death and you know it's just you chose just how widespread throughout the entire world his reach and and and how many people he touched. You know I've been in communication with a lot of other creators, mutual friends, and everyone is

devastated. And then, I just think about that, like beyond that, just the people out there that watch him that have made him a part of every day, whether they drink coffee with him or whether they put him on during dinner or sit down with their family and watch him together. His impact is just almost immeasurable.

People that spirit, it shined through it shined through and I think another thing Justin said in his his tribute was like you know the real Adam like you know Adam that was Adam that he pushed through that that spirit of curiosity that spirit of adventure but And I think it's really important to mention Adam's family because Adam loved his family so much. Adam was never married.

He never had any children. And the reason for that was simple. He went on these adventures. He had this goal, this mission. He didn't feel like he had enough time to give to a wife or to children at that point in his life. I think he always planned.

It was never like, I'm never getting married, I'm never having kids. It was always just not right now. You know, he didn't feel like he could do his travels and balance and balance that. And, you know, because Adam, you know, because he didn't have a wife, because he didn't have a kids like his his mother and his father and his sister

were so, you know, that was his family. You know, when he talked about his family, that was his family you know when he talked about his family that was his family and he loved them so much you know I got a chance got a chance to meet his parents I got a chance to meet some of his extended family and I don't believe I've ever got to meet his I don't if I met his sister. It was only in passing

but

He

You know I got a chance his mother, you know hung out with us in in in

Gatlinburg one day, and you know she's just a very very sweet lady You know you could say I see a lot of you know I could see you'd see a lot of, you know, I could see, you'd see a lot of Adam in his mother, you know, how kind and sweet she was. But you know, he made time. That was the one, he did make time for his family. And you know, he took his family on his adventures. You know, he loved, he loved taking his mom and showing his mom things that she had never got a chance to

see. He had to coax her a little bit because his parents, he grew up in a religious home. His father was a preacher. They were very modest people. They didn't, you know, people that did very extravagant things, but he pushed them

into that doing. He's like taking his mom on these trips of the things that she wanted to do, but maybe she was, you know, just wasn't comfortable treating herself that way, but he treated his mother, treated his mother so well. He went on that road trip, you know road trip with his dad you know

he loved, he loved his dad and he loved his sister so much you know it was always a priority going out and seeing his sister and and taking his family, sharing what he had with his family, and my heart absolutely breaks for them because I know how much he loved them and I know how much they loved him. Him and his sister were closer than any sibling

could be he you know they were like I said they were like best friends it's you know like I said everyone everyone was Adams best friend and I just you know I know that they know you know they know a different Adam I don you know, I know that they know, you know, they know a different Adam. I don't know, you know, I Don't know what you know what their plans are, but you know, I just hope everyone Please just gives them the the time they deserve and to and to mourn You know the son and brother that they lost

You know this son and brother that they lost. I was thinking about a dark time in my life. I was new to this, this YouTube thing, and the internet's not always a kind place and I was being you know I was being harassed online I was being you know I didn't different things happening from different people you know there was some actual real-life harassment and then there was some you know typical typical YouTube just hatefulness and I didn't know how to

handle it and I went and I posted a video and I was just ranting and I was angry and I was calling out people by name and I was so angry and Adam sent me a message and he said, don't do that, don't, you know. He's like, talk to me, talk to me. Don't talk to them, talk to me. And that was a huge, that was so huge don't talk to them talk to me and That was

That was a huge that was so huge to me and it was such a thing like You know I could talk You know none of my other friends, you know Friends, you know the day-to-day friends my work friends They had no idea. No one No one had ever dealt with this,

you know, such a strange situation, you know, being harassed online because you've chosen to make yourself a public figure, something I wasn't prepared for. But Adam understood it. He had been through all the same things.

He had been through all these things that I had been through. So it was just to be able to have someone that I could rant to, someone that I could just say all these things that are happy to me. And he knew, he knew because he'd been through them. And that was just, I mean, it was just to have something like that.

Like I don't know. I don't know what stupid decisions I would have made if I didn't have him to talk me through it, to talk me down. You know what I'm saying? And it went both ways too. Like there was times, you know,

Adam was good at handling it, but sometimes he just got so bummed out. Cause I think Adam loved making people happy and he understood. He understood. I remember one thing he always said. He's like, I get it.

I'm obnoxious. And he understood that not everyone liked him. I don't think he really understood why people would hate him. That with what he did, that there was so much hate out there for what he did. And part of that is this internet. It's internet. There's just hate on the internet.

That's what the internet is. It's made of hate. And there's times I would talk to him about it. And remind him what he told me. And to just have that support. I don't know that everyone has that support. People build a little bit of a following on YouTube and then it gets weird and I don't know that everyone had that mentor like I

had to be able to guide through those very scary waters. I just walked through a big pile of mud and that's okay. He was able to get me through that, get me through some really hard times and he dealt with that every day of his life up till The day he died there was people Trying to make his life miserable and he

Just over the years, you know, he just he would smile about it. He would smile about it You know, I think there was times that he actually thought it was funny. And I remember him reminding me, he's like, me and you, we're lucky. This life that we have, it's unbelievable, you know? The ability to travel, the ability to see the world, it's this unbelievable gift. And, you know, maybe people are frustrated

because, you know, they weren't, they, you know, maybe they weren't happy with their lives or how their lives worked out. So like, yeah, I mean, he got it. He got it. And he helped me.

And he helped me. He helped me understand it as well. And I hope to continue showing the grace that he taught me through through that like I said every is you know you know there's Jen my kids but besides them you know Adam is the most his was the most important this is the most, yes was the most important, this is the most important person in my life and I think for now I've gotten out most of what I wanted to say.

I tried when I found out that he had passed. I tried to do a video right then and there. I pulled up my camera. I was just overwhelmed. I'm like, I need to get this out. I need to let it out.

The words just didn't come out I tried probably six times the day he died to record something and it just never the words just couldn't come out and you know it's holidays spending time with with my family it's I'll tell you guys it's rough it's rough as a lot of you may know in August my stepfather passed away from cancer and it was one of the biggest losses I've ever had in my life and this was the first Christmas without him and it was going in you know I was sad going into this Christmas without him and it was going in the house. I was sad going into this Christmas without him

and I did not expect three days before Christmas for my best friend to die. I'm wearing the shirt still, I was wearing this last night but I'm still wearing it. This shirt, this shirt belonged to my stepfather. My stepfather was a big supporter of me and my channel.

You know, he would buy this merch. He would buy it just direct. He wouldn't ask me for it. He would just buy it directly from my shop without telling me. And this shirt, um, artist made this for me and put Adam on it and we went on this road

trip, Route 66. Somebody decided we were gonna, we were gonna, we were really gonna push our merch. We were gonna wear our merch, wear each other's merch, and talk about our merch at the end of every video. And this was one of the shirts that we were, we were pushing. It's got, I don't know if you guys can see it, but it's, it says vlogs and knuckle sandwiches. It's got me and Adam riding in the back of the car. But

like I said this is a shirt that my my stepfather Keith wore and I took it from his closet after he passed away because I wanted it. And last night I went and got this shirt and I realized that it's my stepfather's shirt but it's got it's got Adam on here so like two of my biggest supporters two of my biggest supporters of the whole world left this year right here on this shirt. And if anyone's asking like, are you okay? No, I'm not. I'm not okay. I will be okay

but right now I'm not okay. And you know that's all the old phrase like it's okay to not be it's okay to not be okay. I'm not okay I'm happy. I'm here. I'm happy. I'm here with loved ones. I'm with my my siblings My mom with Jen with my daughter and you know having them around You know, it's not does it make me necessarily feel better?

But it's it's I know I'm surrounded by love and I'm surrounded by support and I will be okay I you know I just the thought of just going and filming something silly now seems so strange but But... But eventually I will, I will. Um, pardon me, I just, I don't even know why. I just want to go down to Florida. I don't know if I'm, I don't know if I am going to go down there, but... I just... I don't know. I'm maybe thinking crazy, I just want to be near where Adam was.

Maybe I hope, I want to see some people that knew Adam like me. I want to see some friends that we both had. Maybe we could talk about Adam. So, I just, what I wanted to say, how I wanted to end this is, you know, Adam left this huge legacy, and you know, that's what's helping me hang on here is just knowing that he lived every day like it was a gift and he treated every day like a gift and I

Promise him and I promise you guys that I'm going to do the same thing

From now on every day is a gift every day is a new adventure even if I'm not filming

every day is still a gift. Every day is still an opportunity for a new adventure. And I promise you that I will carry on him, his legacy through my work. Because he, I've always carried on what he taught me, but you know, he will always be with me when I'm filming, and I will always be with me when I'm filming and I will always be thinking about him and I will always try to carry on in my little way, much like, you

know, the other people that he touched, the other people that he inspired, maybe people that didn't even know him personally that were inspired by him, they will carry on his legacy through their actions, through, you know, their creative endeavors, and through the way that they live their day-to-day life. You know, if you want to take something away from Adam, you know, for yourself, it's... I know not everyone can do it. I know not everyone can just get up and do and make it work. Everyone's got a different situation, but maybe if you've

been thinking that there's something that you wanted to do, something that is on your bucket list or something that you have always wanted to do but just never, never really got them and did, maybe you go do that. Go stop talking about it. Go do it because that's what Adam would do. I'm sorry. So I promise, I promise I will promise I will do my best to live up to what he taught me and what he put out into this world.

I don't know how things work, but if there's some way that Adam is listening right now or that he can hear me, just I all I want to say is thank you for everything the life I have I never would have had without you one of the best people that I have ever met. And the positivity that you put out will live forever. The circle, he called it the circle of goodness. You know, what he put out there, the repercussions, the, you know, what he gave, the love that

was returned to him, the circle of goodness and I promise that the circle of goodness will live on through all of us and you know they say that you don't really die until everyone that knows about you is gone and I have a feeling that Adam will live on for a very very long time because you know I guess a true legend live on for a very very long time because you know I guess a true legend a true legend like Adam never dies thank you for listening to me pour my heart out and I will I'll be back at some point and I love you guys.
