Sorry for the delay posting today's recap...lots of family stuff happening today and recapping Adam is the very last priority in my life, right below work
I am pretty surprised he only spent one day in Disneyland and didn't use any DVC points to stay at a resort down there. I asked this last year too, but why did this guy buy so many DVC points if he's not going to use them? Is he just letting them sit and expire? Is he renting them out?
He checks out of the Universal Hilton, providing us yet again with this view, that he seems to think is spectacular, for the second time this trip.
He can't find any direct flights to Milwaukee, and he does admit that "on a whim" he tried to find a direct flight so he could spend a little more time in SoCal. He wanted to spend more time in order to see the Fall Guy preview with Ryan Gosling before the Waterworld show that Giggles has posted about attending with the Beard, and that Adam was jabbering about the other day that he was in Universal for the tour.
He's sucking down coffee and feeding that caffeine addiction, of course. He spills the beans that later this year he's really gonna change things up and stay...at the Universal Sheraton across the street. Wow, amazing change of pace Adam.
JFC with the self pumping gas nozzle and it's frowned upon to return the rental car without a full tank, yet again.
He appears to be wearing the same orange/pink shorts that he wore the day before in Disneyland, mind you:
He calls the conveyor belt, or moving walkway "the
movable walkway"
BTW, at this point he's mentioned several times that he's headed to Milwaukee, but he hasn't said why he's going there, and in fact he never mentions in this entire video why he's going there, keeping the less bright Woovians in suspense. While walking thru the airport, Adam says "this whole trip was super impulsive, and wasn't even really planned", which of course isn't true because he always planned to see the Rays play in Milwaukee. He tacked the SoCal part of it on when he heard about the 60th Anniversary tour at Universal (and that fact that it turned out to be a big dud for him is really funny).
The guy who has no job and can travel as much or as little as he likes and has no reason at all to get home then complains about not wanting to re-arrange his travel to see a 7 minute preview of the Fall Guy (
wonder why he really stayed away?), and then complains that yesterday, when he spent the day with "friends" in a theme park riding a few rides and eating stuff, was "a really long day". Cue the fricking tiny violins, eh? (
Wonder why it was really stressful?) I have a feeling based on his title this is only beginning of the complaining in this vlog...
I know you were waiting and dying to know...yes, the Burbank airport sells gum. Thankfully there is no time to waste and Adam gets right on his flight to Denver for his layover to Milwaukee.
It's a A319 so Adam doesn't have to check his bag and has a real first class seat. As with every flight he's ever taken, we get to see the safety card and his glass of water, and this time he adds that they offered sparkling wine but he went with water (although he doesn't directly mention that he does not drink alcohol for once). Even from the air, he has to give updates on the Warner Ranch by pointing it out from the air.
Adam lands in Denver and proudly points out that he remembers stuff inside the airport from...3 weeks ago when he was there. Bravo, Adam, bravo! He manages to look at the souvenirs and t-shirts in this airport, and they are exactly the same as they were when he looked at them three weeks ago.
Adam is not good at flying. He's at his gate at 4:46pm. The sign says the flight is on time and boarding is scheduled to begin at 5:20pm. Right then and there, if the plane had not arrived yet, I would be very concerned that in reality, the plane is late. The next shot, he's at the window looking out at his gate, his phone shows 4:57pm and his plane has not arrived. Yet he says they'll be boarding as soon as everyone gets off the plane and they clean it up a bit, and then pans up and there's still no plane at the gate, it's just pulling up. Does he not know to look to see where the plane is coming from so you know ahead of time that it's going to be late? And that the airline will never tell you it's late until they absolutely have to?
He then announces that he now knows that Wisconsin is pronounced exactly how it's spelled, and not pronounced "Wes-consin" the way he was saying it on the recent family trip. Here's a great shot, this really enhanced the vlog in so many ways
There is a technical issue with the plane, so in addition to it arriving late this further pushes back the departure time. Adam sees the Gate Gourmet truck loading something onto the plane and gets excited he might be served a crappy microwaved first class meal. He says if that doesn't happen, he's just have a bag of peanuts. So we're supposed to be believe he didn't eat breakfast, he didn't eat lunch, he's only had one coffee and whatever snacks they've handed out on the Burbank to Denver flight, and he's not eating anything in the Denver airport, and if they don't serve a meal on the flight to Milwaukee, he's just not going to eat a meal this entire day? Yeah, right.
He gets another coffee, but makes sure to tell everyone it's a regular drip coffee and not a latte (because you know he's watching his weight and striving to be fit by fifty
). He claims this is just his second coffee of the day. He then says, "
Normally I'd be stressed about this, but I'm not because the only thing I have left to do today is to check into a hotel in Milwaukee whenever I get there." Note the title of the video is "
My Stressful United Airlines Flight Experience". You can't make it up. Of course you're stressed about it, you fool.
And stressed he is, because as the delays roll in due to the mechanical issue, he finally exclaims, "Oh my God!" in disgust because he's so frustrated. So frustrated he wants to throw money at the problem by moving to another flight. He says he looked at them, but quite a few are also delayed. He points the camera at the departure screen and says, "you can see all the flights to Milwaukee, and most of them are delayed."
Uh, there's a grand total of
two and one of them is delayed. Is he seeing double or something? Anyway, they end up needing another aircraft and there are more delays to come because obviously they are now entering the kind of timeframe that may require re-crewing due to the scheduled crew hitting their max and timing out, and that's exactly what happens. For his troubles, United gives Adam a $20 meal voucher to be used in the airport. He's willing to spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on another flight, but he refuses to buy himself a decent meal earlier and waits until almost everything is closed to use the voucher and ends up with this:
Yummy
. Mental patient has to turn the camera sideways to get his end of the jetway shot thru the tiny window before finally boarding at almost 11:30pm
The six hour delay doesn't stop him from doing the same shot of the safety card, and the same takeoff footage. Not much during the flight, except to say the entire flight has been very, very, very turbulent. And then he films the whole landing, as usual. It's 3:20am Milwaukee time.
This guy is just flat out not smart.
Why not just fly LAX to Chicago, with a million flight choices, and then rent a car and drive the hour and change to Milwaukee? Why do you need to fly into Milwaukee? I bet he could have seen the Fall Guy then. But he didn't really want to see the Fall Guy, did he?
Also, my sincere (for real, not kidding) condolences to the Rays fans on here that have to suffer the jinx of Adam becoming a fan and hitting the rock bottom of being swept this weekend by the previously 3-22 Chicago White Sox, who are now 6-22 thanks to the Rays.
