Guess who’s in town for Formula Drift, rolling up in that distinctive orange Murciélago? Why it’s ADAM LZ of course! He found time after a busy media day to swing by the studio to chop it up with Scotto. Hear the story of how they actually first met, way back in the dawn of the first YouTube Era and find out everything Adam’s been up to since, and even what’s next. Could LZ really be looking to a life beyond YouTube? Sit back as we dive into his crazy schedule and impressive work ethic, there’s more than meets the eye with this YouTuber-Drifter-BMX-Guitar-Content polymath machine! Enjoy.
