Yeah, we are not allowed to walk outside here in Iowa. May get attacked by corn
He looks like he just got done yelling “MA! The meatloaf!”
So what happened to the dad? I’m getting Michael kay/Adler vibes.

I see that he has done a "Children of the Corn" filming location video when I did a search. I am not sure if his parents would have allowed a 10 year old David watch that movie when it came out (1984). Since it is an 80's movie, unless he faked his way through the vlog (not going to watch it), I am sure he has seen it as an adult.
Either his health doesn't allow him to travel by plane, or some other personal reason has prevented him from joining the rest of the family.So what happened to the dad? I’m getting Michael kay/Adler vibes.
He probably thinks planes are a deep state conspiracy.
I've always wondered why both of his parents never travel with him. Since he only ever has just one of them when he travels. I first thought they were divorced, since they were never together in his videos. Maybe they just got back together for Thanksgiving & Christmas but I think they are still married. I think his dad is just set in his ways & just hates modern things. I don't remember if they flew or drove when they went to the "field of dreams" a few years ago but I also think he doesn't like traveling in general.
What caused his dad not to be a pastor? What kind of work did he do after he quit being a pastor?
I've wondered what his dad thinks of ATW life. If he was a pastor, I would think he would be opposed to all his tattoos & his "punk life" style. Also, with the recent things that have come out on Reddit, I think his parents would question him about it.

When he did that series with his dad back a few years' ago now, his father talked positively about David, the YT channel, and seemed legit humbled by the people who have followed David all these years on his channel. This was in the part of one where his dad was reading some personal comments, or saying something about appreciating the viewers, etc. - cannot recall the specifics. I'm sure someone can find it.
A 40 minute vlog about backroads is overcompensation for having no content. He's done two days about Field of Dreams and he's down to just roaming around the countryside, so he just films everything he sees and leaves it all in the final cut.
He does his usual intro and hits the road. As he stops and films places, you start to hear his mom's voice off camera, commenting on things. He doesn't introduce her at the start or even mention she'll be coming along. He finally mentions her 9 minutes in. Weirdo.
Adam comes upon an active, older gas station, and you'd think he found a woman to spend his life with. He films all around the outside, and then of course he overcomes his social anxiety to talk with the owner and look around the inside. All the while his poor mother is sitting alone in the car.
They move on to a modern gas station where Adam gets more god-awful looking coffee in an actual styrofoam cup. He's tickled that it looks incredibly hot. What is his fetish with getting really hot coffee? Like, he wants it to burn the lining of his mouth off or something. Once again he somehow overcomes the social anxiety and gets to talking with the lady behind the counter. She directs him to "the ole train tunnel over yonder" and that's where they head next, Adam's scalding coffee in tow.
Of course they never find it, and just go wandering down the road. They end up doing things like just sitting and staring at a small supermarket in Cuba City, for realz.
Cuba City turns out to be the City of Presidents, which is, to put it politely, really pushing it. But don't worry, Dickeyville is coming up. Dickeyville has a water tower, as has every town Adam has been in. He points it out every single time.
As he approaches it, Adam treats the Grotto in Dickeyville like it's one of the many bizarre roadside attractions build by an eccentric old man out of garbage that he's visited in the past, using his goofy put-on voice to introduce it. In reality it's a big religious shrine next to a church. He sobers up about it pretty quickly and suddenly becomes impressed and somber. Once again social anxiety is conquered and after visiting the gift shop they get a personal tour and are let inside a locked area of the Grotto to film.
Personally this place is not my cup of tea, but it's a worthwhile subject for Adam's vlog/audience and he could have researched, targeted it and done a tight 15 min vlog about it. Instead he's lucky he stumbled upon it, and it only shows up at the 25 min mark of a 40 min vlog. How many people wouldn't even click due to the length and the awful title, and completely miss it? Having to wade through 25 mins of crap to get to it is insulting to the viewer.
Then it's back to driving around, sticking the camera out the window and reading the signs on the buildings he passes
Adam and his mom then go food shopping? I guess they are staying in an AirBnB? And the vlog is mercifully over.

Both parents went with him and some other relatives to the Disney resort at Hilton Head, SC a few years ago. Both parents also went to Utah in early summer 2022 with him, as shown here. Note Adam can't even put his arms around his parents and pose like a normal human, he has to throw them up and pose for a thumbnail.
He and his dad drove on that trip when they went to Field of Dreams. The point of that road trip was to visit all the different places they lived over the years while Adam was growing up and Rev Jim was a traveling preacher, plus where his mom and dad first met and got married. The Field of Dreams and a few other places were just additional stops.
I assume Rev Jim stopped preaching because A) he was tired of roaming around after doing it 20-30 years, and B) the work dried up because the country has become less religious and less churchgoing over the past 30 years. I believe he actually became a truck driver for some time after he stopped preaching. He also followed in Adam's footsteps and started a YouTube channel that never really went anywhere. He kept it pretty mild on there, nothing like his Facebook rants. And I believe he posted some sort of ponzi scheme business offers on there before he stopped posting altogether, but I'm a bit vague on that.
He has always seemed supportive of Adam and Adam's chosen career, and I'm sure he doesn't believe the bad things anyone might say about his son.
Edit to add: as recently as last Fall, Adam was saying he wanted to take both his mom and dad to Hawaii, but only his mom could make it last year. Now only his mom could make it to Iowa on a plane. Which is the basis for my theory that there's some fairly recent health issue that prevents Rev Jim from flying.
Yep. Agree. Even if I'm not a fan of his Dad at all, if I'm being objective, he did seem to speak really positively about David's choice in life to be a YT vlogger in that one vlog I referred to above that I can't find ATM (maybe you remember it?)
And yeah, I also agree that David would just tell his Dad that anyone who was saying things "bad" about him - anything from one-night stands he had, wives he stole, soft porn stars he bedded, tit things he's done to homeowners (e.g., Uncle Eddie's owner), rules he's broken filming and monetizing, tantrums he's had, etc. and / or even the most minor of constructive criticism - are all simply liars and internet trolls.
I'm not sure papa Woo can fit on a plane comfortably.
Hardcore isn't even a strong enough adjective.
He flew right by hardcore republican into cuckoo Qanon maga land.
Only 8 Instagram posts, but so many blue shirts, so many tan shorts
Why TF does he record these people and not show them on camera? The gas station guy seemed nice and probably would have been cool being on cam.
here’s a million dollar idea: go to these small towns and interview the people there! I would have loved to hear stories of the place.
Woo could really have something doing stuff like that instead of these half ass crappy vids.

You have to not be a narcissist with a chip on your shoulder and an inferiority complex who is deficient in emotional intelligence in order to be able to connect with others genuinely and be interested in listening to their stories.
