    I hope if Adam ever looks back on these interviews, I hope he never gets those past-moments-embarrassment feelings, 'cause he stayed true and honest. He handled the awkwardness of not agreeing 100% with the interviewer at times without being rude but yet staying un-manipulated. Adam inspired me so much, if I could just say thank you to him, man, his example just means so much to me. And it's Jesus in his heart is why.

I've seen a lot of his interviews and tbh this is the first time I saw someone say something so crude during one. it's extremely unprofessional and kinda disrepectful of Adam, because I would hope the interviewer would have bothered to learn something about the person they were gonna interview. So...ykwim, now?
