Seeing Adam well up because he is genuinely grateful for the love he has received from all those at Cultaholic is priceless. And I think I speak on behalf of everyone listening and watching your Cultaholic content that we are immensely appreciative of all you do and all you have wagered to bring us, the fans, the best wrestling content on TH-cam. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Couldn't agree with you more.
👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
was gonna type something like this but you said it better than I could have
The amount of people they got back into wrestling is amazing. Imagine if these guys didn't exist, wwe would have like 500k viewers.
Adam talking about the moment with the Christmas card and tearing up. It made me want to tear up. It’s so evident how important not only the job is to him, but the people he works with. At was such a real emotion and I just wanted to hug him and tell him thank you. He deserves all the love.
You deserved all the support and more then, and you deserve it even more now.
Happy as hell you've made it this far and show no signs of slowing down.
Seeing adam well up made me remember.
Whether it's (sad)am pacitti.
(Mad)am pacitti
Or (glad)am pacitti. I love it!
I really love Adam he comes across as just a great guy who would be a great friend.
I love his chemistry with Tom who also seems like a top guy.
Would genuinely love a Pacitti autobiography. Even in an hour, there's so many stories that he only scrapes the surface with.
I feel like there’s enough content there for a Roku Biopic
So, based off the stories/schemes, Adam Pacitti is pretty much a genius...
I have been so excited for this! Tom and Adam have the best natural chemistry on the channel
It's awesome seeing the boys in the interviews with Tom, the best addition to Cultaholic in my opinion, telling stories and talking wrestling.
WhatCulture and Cultaholic made me a bigger wrestling fan and especially in the past year after my mum died in December 2018, you guys made my days numerous of times. Adam being emotional about Cultaholic's start made me emotional as well.
I can only say "Thank you" Cultaholic for making my life better.^^
It is a testament to this group of people how they talk so openly. It says a lot about Tom that Adam felt so comfortable to be so open. Also how quickly tom was to support him.
This is my favourite Cultaholic video ever. Really fun, but also really emotional. Genuinely, thank you both and everyone at cultaholic for making brilliant content.
Your channel honestly means so much to me guys and has gotten me through a lot, I really appreciate the time and sacrifice you guys put in to make it happen so thank you!!
I was looking forward to Adam's Interview since the first one with Ross came out and I wasn't disappointed. To get a peak behind the curtain and see how the guys had to struggle and how genuinely grateful they are for the success Cultaholic has become really warms my heart.
Every bit you achieved, achieve and will achieve in the future is more than deserved, guys!
Big respect for Adam for dropping out of uni when it wasn't working. I'm coming to the end of my degree and kinda wish I'd put it on hold for a couple years after first year wasn't great.
Aiden i took 2 years off after I got my associates... the time off was such a good decision. Now that I’m back, my perspective has completely changed and I’m finally enjoying my classes... everybody’s timeline is different!
This is such a heart-warming video - Tom is amazing at getting the best out of his guests, and Adam is a great guest!
Every now and then I come back to this, very grateful for all the cultaholic lads, they do a lot more for people than they realize
Hay adam doubt youll ever see this but i cant thank you enough for all the sacrifices you made to get cultaholic going and for making this channel what it is. This is easily one of my favorite wrestling shows on youtube and the amount of love and work really shows. I've been having a rough time lately but cultaholic always pulls me out of my funk.
Thank you adam
I know Tom is checking the camera when he glances over but does any one else feel like he's checking to see if we don't feel left out of the conversation?
I think that's definitely part of it. Tom is a real pro.
I think it looks more like "who the f just walked into the studio?" 😂
Thanks for everything you've done, Adam. I've been with the channel since day one and hearing you be so heartfelt about what you do has been really touching.
I feel a sense of pride after watching this. You lads got me back into wrestling with WCPW and Redacted. Seeing you move on to Cultaholic and creating top quality content and growing as a business. Love ya with my whole heart lads, always gonna support you lot in anyway I can
This is the first Desert Island interview I've watched and I feel like I'm well late to this purity. I will be watching the rest. Thank you Adam, Ross, Jack, Sam, Tom, Maffew, Richard, Owen and all the other people who don't show up on camera to help bring us all together.
Greatly appreciate all that you guys do. Paciti, there are no words. Thank you mate
This was such a wholesome watch, I can't express how much I want adam and the whole gang to be so successful cos you can tell they're all such genuine guys
Getting spoiled with Cultaholic content today. Get them boys!
YOU LOVE IT!!!!!
Thank you Adam Jack Ross Sam Tom and all the writers and editors 💙
This as usual was an amazing interview I was tearing up with Adam there
It's truly heartening to see these two talk about the origins of the channel. There are loads of wrestling channels to watch, but the camaraderie of the people on this channel are why I watch it. Thanks, Cultaholic
i knew adam pacitti was a lovable oaf and goofball but i never would have guessed his backstory! i hope this series picks up for a long time, well done you two!
Jesus, this episode is heavy. For everything Adam's done for notoriety, from the silly, to the outright disastrous, an outside observer would be forgiven for thinking he was taking it less than seriously, but I think the reverence his coworkers have for him is apparent in how much they trusted that he would make this work, even when it seemed like it couldn't. Adam has an incredible mind for marketing, and it's clear he's given this every ounce of himself. Seeing the emotion just pour out of him like this is infinitely relatable to anyone who's even been on their last dime, and years down the line gotten to look back and see that they made it.
Adam, if you ever want to play board games, I'll fly out to Newcastle and show you the fucking pantheon of board games, you've earned it.
After watching this, I will continue to support Adam and the rest of the team. Seeing him well up got me emotional and I will continue to respect and love the guy. Adam if you're reading this, No words can express how much we all love and support you. It sounded like the start of this adventure was not easy and could've ended in disaster, but you got through it. We are absolutely proud of you and we will all continue to give our support. You have a fantastic team with you at Cultaholic and TripleJump. We love you Adam Pacitti!!
Can I just say this video came at the perfect time for me personally. On Friday night I ended up in hospital after a car crash. I broke my foot and had to get surgery. Between yourself, OSW Review and Attitude Era podcast you’ve kept my spirits high and my mind off the pain. Thank you boys. I’m finally home and watching this in my own bed is lovely and heart warming. Thank you all the Cultaholic lads!
You guys are fantastic. You can take people watching your channel on their phone or laptop on their own and bring such a welcome vibe that you guys become part of our lives. Wrestling fans are really grateful for the work you put in and the content you put out. So many people helped through tough times find comfort and switch off of everyday life to follow you. Thank you for making my passion of wrestling feel part of a big community of supporters of your great channel its helped me unwind in the good and bad times. I wish you all at cultaholic the utmost success and happiness.
So much respect for Adam. I always have had, but after watching this I’m somehow able to respect him even more! I didn’t think it was possible. An absolute inspiration!
Honestly adore this series learning more about the lads, honestly love Adam even more , didn't think I could and Tom is one of the best interviewers I've ever seen
Hearing this makes me appreciate the lads that have brought me back into wrestling and made it my favourite hobby to be a part of the wrestling community, even more. Very glad to be apart of the support and I will continue to watch and support these people that have done their job so well for years.
The story about the board game man genuinely made me spit out my water in the middle of a library. Dont think it can be overstated how good this interview was. Tom is amazing, Adam is amazing, you’re all amazing. Thanks to everyone at Cultaholic for the great content and all the work you put into it
We love you Pacitti! That was tremendous. I started crying with you champ! Looking forward to years more of content
So $25 for Pacitti feet pics has to be a patreon tier
This!!
YES!
It is nice to see the guys talking so relaxed. I cannot imagine how hard it had been for Adam keeping things quiet that things had been that hard for them. Yet at the same time the fact Tom instantly had been able to transition into supporting him shows how much of an amazing person he is and how much they care not only for cultaholic but each other as well.
This is why the channel is such a massive part of my life. Amazing moments like those in this video. Seeing such genuine emotion had me blubbing at my desk over lunch. Kudos to you all for taking the initial risk and continuing to offer such wonderful content, as well as providing a place to come and escape. Love you Team Cultaholic. Thank you x
Adam, you lovely bloke. Genuinely enjoyed listening to this. Honestly I am quite inspired by the work ethic you have. I wish I had even a quarter of that work ethic.
It was heartwarming to see how much Cultaholic means to you, but more than that, how much your team means to you. You're the type of boss everyone needs.
Also, you mentioned not knowing what to do if Cultaholic ended, but God forbid it did (and I will fight Jesus to make sure that never happens), honestly with your experience, knowledge and work ethic, I think you'd make a wonderful teacher. A man like yourself would be an inspiration to so many.
Because you are to me.
Adam is an absolute legend. You can see how much genuine passion and appreciation he has for this whole thing, and he worked incredibly hard for all of it, as do the rest of the Cultaholic team. I welled up as Adam did when talking about the Christmas card with the nice message on it. Beautiful stuff. I'm a proud fan of Cultaholic and have watched some of these guys grow since the WhatCulture days. The content keeps getting better and better over time. Thanks for all you do with this channel. It makes being a wrestling fan even more fun
Tom Campbell you've done it again. Tom's interview setting an technique is so seamless and provides such comfort to the guests. They open up so easily around him and he has great questions. Watching Adam get emotional hit me in the feels, wonderful dude and absolutely inspiring stuff. Love cultaholic.
This was quite simply a fantastic hour and a bit of podcast. Clearly one of the most genuine people you could ever wish to meet. Hope he knows how much himself, Cultaholic and the lads are appreciated
I fucking love Adam Pacitti and the crew. You lads literally give me so much to look forward to and keep me sane in tough times and long may it continue.
Just wanted to say how grateful I am for everything you guys do! I've been a Cultaholic fan since the very first day and also a Patreon pledger for the last year or so. The signed picture I've got from you is framed in my room and is one of my most treasured possessions! Thank you for doing what you do best and wish you all the success in the world, because you've worked hard for it and deserve every part of it!
You should be really proud of yourself, Adam.
Love the Kenny vs Spenny reference, Adam!
Adam, remember that the ending to "Jack of all trades master of none" is "is still better than a master of one"!
@@150booyadragon Okay but that doesn't change the fact that the saying literally ends with that and means a well rounded individual is more useful than someone who is just good at one thing.
Pacitti you have earned my sincerest respect. I had no idea how hard the path you trod to get here has been. You are a legend sir. Also, top interviewing Tom, there's that local radio facility for you.
I watch cultaholic on my tv on the TH-cam app and thus never comment on the videos because it’s a pain in the ass. But this was a fantastic piece of broadcasting and I felt obliged to get out my phone and let you guys know how much it was appreciated. Great work guys!
Damn. That was a really, really good watch
I'll second that
Adam is a super intriguing guy and Tom is just a suberb interviewer.
This was so sweet 😭
Love love love this. Tom is the best and so is Adam. Cultaholic is my first and only one true TH-cam channel I'm into. Every single day they bring joy to my life. Thanks for everything Pacitti and co.
Adam Pacitti is my hero, love all the Cultaholic boys but this man is destined for greatness.
We all love everyone at Cultaholic, I am so happy it's worked out. Ive been watching since the start, and even back at WC. It's amazing seeing how everyone has grown and evolved. Whenever I have panic attacks I just put on Cultaholic videos and it helps 99% of the time and I am so grateful for that!
I've been following the channel for a while and I've only just discovered Desert Island Graps, I don't how I missed it. I love them I'm finding them fascinating learning about your backgrounds. Tom you're brilliant at hosting the show and Adam your passion for the channel and wrestling really shines through. I totally agree with you Adam about confronting your sadness and wallowing in it a bit too. I've got that Sufjan Stevens album too but my sad album is End Times by Eels, sometimes being down can help you get back up. Thank you all for the time and effort you put into the channel, you are all brilliant.
As if I could possibly love Adam even more than I do - Tom is so fucking good at getting beneath any kind of emotional armor that someone might have. I don't think he really had to do much of that with Adam, though, as Adam has always read to me as someone unafraid of his emotions, just hearing his stories about from when he was a kid and feeling horrible for buying a Limp Bizkit CD with some leftover money his mom was expecting back. I guess this is my slightly longish way of saying that I appreciate all the touch and go moments that Cultaholic had to deal with at the very beginning, all the risk that was put up front, because ya'll are legit my favorite channel on TH-cam. Not just wrestling channel, but channel, period. I don't even watch wrestling, haven't since the end of the Attitude Era would be my guess. I'm 36, gave it up right around 16-18, somewhere in there, but your personalities and passion are all so goddamn magnetic that I literally watch just to hear people talking (again, with passion) about this thing they love so much that they risked their own financial security to see it through, and that's fucking beautiful. Thanks for all the many, many hours of entertainment, lads - and here's to hundreds more.
Why did I decide to cut onions watching this video 😭😭
Thanks for all the laughs and enjoyment over the last few years and letting us join your Cult ...
i probably wouldn't have repaired my relationship with my brother before he passed if it hadn't been for your videos getting the both of us interested in wrestling again. it was the thing that made us both realize that life was too short to be so angry all the damn time and that we had way more in common than we'd ever realized. grateful for y'all doesn't even begin to cover it
Thank you for all that you all do. I have been here since the early years of Whatculture and I am happy to see how all of you have grown. Thank you for all the hours and hour you put into this channel and all that you do. Happy to see where you go from here!
This might be the episode of desert island graps that I've legit teared up even more....
Thank you guys for superkicking my feels and for all that you do!
It's not just the people who work for you that are happy that you have done what you have. Love the channel!
having a rewatch of this in prep for what should be a doozie of a desert island grapps with Andrew tomorrow, such a terrific interview Tom!
50:20 Mary and Max is one of my favorite movies. what a beautiful movie. it made me bawl atleast twice
This was so eye opening. Thank you for being so honest and open, Adam! Tom you have a gift of making people open up. I really loved watching this. Cultaholic fan for life ❤️
Man these podcasts are amazing, they make me feel so happy and sad, and introspective whilst still being tied to wrestling. thank you Tom for bringing out these awesome moments between you and everyone you meet. Watching these makes me want to sit down with you for a beer, I feel like I would would away a better man
I love you lads so much. Did a lot to get me back into wrestling back in the WC days and it's just been great following you ever since. Seeing Adam's passion so clearly and raw is amazing. Keep on keeping on guys! You're all class!
Absolutely love when the rest of the gang do these Desert island graps vids. So fantastic to hear someone talk so fondly of the people around them and massively deepens the respect i have for each and every one them. A lot has to be said about Tom bringing out these fascinating conversations with people. Hmm if only he could interview himself now lol
THANK YOU ADAM and Cultaholic!!! Wasn't expecting to get emotional but damnit Adam you got me mate.
Another fantastic interview from Tom. He's like UK's Chris Van Vliet. Adam seems like a total knob and an absolutely best person in the world. Never stop what you're doing! Thank you, you guys are an integral part of every day of my life for the last couple of years.
bloody love Mary and Max! Great shout top bloke Pacitti! Glad someone else has watched it and loved it! x
Can't believe I've never seen this until now, love pacitti even more.
I don’t normally leave comments but I just hope Adam see’s this and knows Iv been watching since the whatculture days and for years he’s been my favourite and now after watching this hes just become even better. He put all his money into making Cultaholic a success and Im so fucking happy its worked out for him
Thanks for this lads, I loved this interview. Thank you also, for being so determined to make Cultaholic a thing. I've been a subscriber since the dawning of this wonderful channel, and I'm glad I have. And you don't have to thank me for my support, you're a great set of people, and I enjoy being here xx
I have to say Adam, that promo after the casket match was when I realised wrestling was "fake" too. However, it just fuelled my passion for it. And I always say that that casket match is one of my favourites. Not because it's a great match, but because of what it meant to me.
This is beautiful.
Mary and Max is such a wonderful film as well, I love hearing that people love it as well.
Keep up the incredibly hard work, you’re all doing wonderfully.
Such an inspiring story, and just an amazing person ( and group of people ) in general. Really glad I've been following you for years now.
So funny that Adam mentions the Undertaker/Yokozuna match. I used to watch wrestling with my late father and it was something that we really bonded over. That match - well... the promo after - really freaked me out and scared me. My dad had to explain the whole kayfabe thing to me so that I didn’t freak out!!! Can also say that Tom Campbell is an amazing interviewer. Genuinely and innocently curious and really gets in depth answers out of his guests.
Unbelievable interview. Wrestling aside this channel is such a joy ran by such good people. Wether cultaholic lasts 1 more year or 100 more years...thank you!
Incredible episode , makes you realise how much you do for us fans .
Great interview, for all the obvious reasons, but what a delight to learn that Adam is a board gamer! My whole TH-cam feed is just Cultaholic and board game reviews and playthroughs. Would love to hear more about his collection.
I knew I would love this episode before even clicking. Pacitti is so wholesome, I love him and Maffew for the unique ways that they think and act. I miss him being in more videos, he is just that lovable guy that I would want to be my friend forever. I know I'm not the girl of your dreams, but be with me forever, Pacitti 💙💙💙
Adam, thank you so much for all you have done. Fair play to You & the team. Been with you from day 1. Tom you really do bring out the best in people. Keep you the good work. Love you guy, shame I live down in Kent, coz I'd love to work with you guys. D7G
This was absolutely amazing, Adam you are a fucking legend mate. Thank you for all of this and thanks Tom for getting all of this out of him. Long live Cultaholic!
Adam, its been a pleasure subscribing to the channel, and donating (when I can) to live streams. love the channel
Few minutes in: "This'll be fun"
Few minutes left: Bawling
This video was a real pleasure to listen to. Hearing how emotional Adam gets about getting to live this crazy life and how it enables the dreams of people, it made me well up too. To be honest it made me wish I was a video editor. I'm more of a writer.
This was so awesome. Love the passion for Cultaholic from Pacitti
All of these have been brilliant, can't wait for Jen to go on the show! The wholesomeness and chemistry between those two would be delightful
Genuinely loved that. You forget sometimes the shit this man went through to start Cultaholic. It’s scary to just give up your job to start a new business, especially when it’s TH-cam and nothing is a given. I’ve never supported anyone on Patreon but I watch videos every day without ad block and I hope that helps.
Adam and the rest of the team that helped make this possible should be so incredibly proud
Guys, this video is simply amazing. Thats all. I love the Pacitti story!
Derek Sandy for prime minister of Desert Island Graps
Listen to all these podcasts when I drive and its more of an aural experience for me. And when I heard Adam choke up, i pulled over, watched it again & started loving the guys even more.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Pacitti for sponsoring this wonderful channel
This was great, Pacitti is such a great guy.
Thank You Adam genuinely man!!
BLESS all of you ❤️ you are like family at this stage! So much love!!
After the Channel nearly being torpedoed in Launch week, what you've all done has been amazing. Tom feels like he has been there since Day 1 and Sam, Jack, Ross, Adam and now Tom, plus Matthew and others have made this such a success.
Your entertainment has literally helped get me through the darkest two years of my life and I thank you all very much 😁👍🏻
Thank you Adam for giving us so much good content mate
This was one of the best pods ive ever listend to...
Thank you, both fellas!
And yes, im one of the few that know kenny vs spenny!
