• 1:03
  What? Is your current goal unless.
• 1:04
  My current goal in life in general, I would say, like I've
• 1:09
  always said, it's a it's to make others happy.
• 1:11
  I I just think that the most important thing you can do for
• 1:15
  another person is make them smile, make them laugh, because
• 1:18
  when a person's laughing, they're not worried about
• 1:20
  anything. I just interviewed sexy Eddie.
• 1:22
  That made me smile. Oh yeah, that'll that'll happen.
• 1:25
  And laugh. That's a good time.
• 1:27
  What? Are you currently doing to
• 1:28
  achieve it? Probably not the same stuff Sexy
• 1:29
  Eddie's doing. Oh, to achieve it, I mean, I'm
• 1:33
  doing commentary, you know, I try to, you know, I love like
• 1:36
  really putting other people like over and letting them like
• 1:40
  shine. But if I could slip a joke in or
• 1:43
  two, then that's going to happen.

  We asked what you're doing Achievement your Pokémon got me
• 2:18
  off balance. Yes.
• 2:19
  What are you doing to achieve your goals?
• 2:21
  I mean, I'm doing a lot of commentary, doing a lot of stand
• 2:23
  up comedy, doing, you know, the podcast.
• 2:26
  I just, I love just reaching out and helping people achieve their
• 2:30
  goals. Yeah, like my job as a
• 2:32
  commentary is to make other people look good, and I love
• 2:35
  doing that. So that's what I've been up to.
• 2:37
  Awesome. What is currently holding you
• 2:39
  back or a distraction from your goal?
• 2:42
  Doing doing podcasts halfway through commentary jobs?
• 2:45
  I mean, yeah, like lack of time, you know, there's only so many
• 2:49
  hours in the day. I have to stop and eat food
• 2:52
  which I I'm trying not to today. I haven't.
• 2:56
  I've had barely any food for the last two days because I got to,
• 3:00
  you know, sit down and make podcasts.
• 3:01
  So. Yeah.
• 3:03
  My human, my fleshy body. What, who, who, or what
• 3:07
  motivates or inspires you? Who or what I mean, there's a
• 3:11
  lot of people who inspire me in the world of A lot of people are
• 3:17
  surprised when I say this, but one person that really inspires
• 3:20
  me, I really enjoy their work is Matt Stryker.
• 3:24
  I think Matt Stryker as a commentary was great because a
• 3:28
  lot of he wouldn't just call the move he'd always mentioned, like
• 3:31
  what that move did, why it was affected, who was being injured
• 3:36
  by it. And I really appreciated that.
• 3:38
  A lot of people don't care for Matt Striker's work.
• 3:40
  I love Matt Striker's work. We'll get into this stuff.
• 3:45
  What are you great before and are you currently happy?
• 3:48
  I'm very happy man. You know, life's too short to be
• 3:52
  unhappy. I've always had a very like laid
• 3:55
  back chill feeling about things. Not that I don't ever get sad,
• 4:00
  it's just that I know sadness is a natural feeling that will pass
• 4:05
  so I do not dwell and I look forward to when I will be happy
• 4:08
  again. I'm sitting next to my buddy
• 4:10
  Abgi. Miss working with you brother, I
• 4:12
  really do. I do miss I.
• 4:13
  Just want to be positive man, a little positivity.
• 4:15
  Yes, yes. Where can people find and
• 4:17
  support you? You find me, I'm on Twitter.
• 4:20
  I don't say X at under score. Scott Holiday, You find me on
• 4:24
  Instagram. Also check out my YouTube show
• 4:27
  which is +2 wrestling. It's AD and D joke if you if
• 4:32
  you're paying attention and how. He said he puts some people over
• 4:34
  on commentary. He also does so on his YouTube
• 4:36
  channel. Yeah, numerous times he's put
• 4:38
  over this podcast and I really appreciate that.
• 4:40
  Yeah, I have a whole episode just talking about other YouTube
• 4:42
  channels I like. Mention this guy and some other
• 4:45
  people. Hi, Peter Delong.
• 4:48
  So he was just brought up a lot last time too.
• 4:50
  Sexy Eddie and PD go way back. Yeah, all.
• 4:53
  Right. Well that'll do it. 5 questions
• 4:54
  with ABG. Five questions already.
• 4:56
  That was it. Oh my God, the next match is
• 4:58
  starting. I gotta go.
• 4:58
  It is a bite. Right, we are back for the bonus
• 5:41
  question. 5 questions, baby. Jay, I'm gonna ask you a
• 5:43
  question to Scott Holiday here and we're gonna open this card.
• 5:48
  We're gonna. Yeah, we're unboxing.
• 5:50
  We're doing unboxing. It's a whole thing.
• 5:51
  We're doing a whole thing. All right, So my question is why
• 5:53
  we open this and we RIP it? I struggle at commentary.
• 5:58
  I get told I'm selfish. I get told I I, I, I, I try to
• 6:01
  put out myself over too much. But I have a feeling is like as
• 6:04
  a commentary person, I think we don't have to fit in the
• 6:07
  traditional confines of commentary.
• 6:09
  I think we're allowed to be as expressive and do our own thing.
• 6:11
  I. I it depends on the company.
• 6:13
  You know, there's some people that want to treat it like
• 6:15
  sports and if if you know how to do this, no, there's a special
• 6:18
  way I'm. Going to let you do it.
• 6:19
  But they're like, here's the thing, I'm driving as fat as far
• 6:23
  as most wrestlers do. And I feel like, well, we're not
• 6:25
  in there for 8 for 8 minutes. We're there for two hours shows.
• 6:29
  And I think we should have our a way to express ourselves
• 6:32
  artfully as as everybody else. Oh.
• 6:34
  Yeah, I mean, if if you hire Scott Holland, like the first
• 6:38
  thing I'm going to say is like, these are the things I always
• 6:41
  do. Yes.
• 6:41
  And then like kind of like a slider and a creator wrestler.
• 6:44
  It's like, do you want it to be more sports?
• 6:46
  Do you want it to be more jokes? Like what do you?
• 6:48
  Want. Great.
• 6:49
  If you hire ABJ, Yeah, you're getting Pat McAfee before Pat
• 6:53
  McAfee. Yeah, yeah, that that's kind of
• 6:55
  your vibe. I.
• 6:56
  And you can cosign that. I was doing that before.
• 6:58
  Absolutely, absolutely. If you get me, it's now fancy
• 7:01
  suits. That's a big thing for me.
• 7:02
  No, no fancy suits here, not at all.
• 7:04
  All right. What do we do is.
• 7:04
  Match end No, I think we're still good all right, so who we
• 7:07
  got we got we got 2 clops OK, that's a good end.
• 7:12
  We got another dusk noir. I just we were given this card.
• 7:15
  Yep. And all my boy Mercro.
• 7:20
  You could have that. I love Mercro.
• 7:22
  That's a limited edition. That's that's yeah, this is a
• 7:24
  limited edition Pokémon Halloween style card, so I'm
• 7:28
  going to keep Mercro. I love Mercro.
• 7:31
  Mercro's great. There it is.
• 7:32
  Get it. Murder of crows.
• 7:33
