  We are back once again. 5 questions with ABJ.
• 0:13
  We are here post Fight of the Sanctuary Stunt Studio right
• 0:17
  before Halloween spooky season. That's why I'm dressed like
• 0:20
  Freddy Krueger. But I'm here with tonight.
• 0:26
  Jordan Palco, also known as Jordan Palkovic, is my shoot
• 0:30
  name. Actually, I just saw Nightmare
• 0:33
  on Elm Street for the first time this past week.
• 0:36
  Yeah, yeah. The fiance and I, we watched
• 0:38
  Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween.
• 0:41
  We just watched yesterday, and I think, I think Nightmare on Elm
• 0:44
  Street might be my favorite of the three.
• 0:47
  Wow. Just absolutely ridiculous.
• 0:49
  Especially the part when Johnny Depp just gets pulled through
• 0:51
  the through the bed and the blood just spatters all over.
• 0:53
  The place at one point in time, the most blood used in the
• 0:55
  horror scene at one point in time.
• 0:56
  Oh my God, that was the record, love.
• 0:58
  Love the horror stuff, yeah, but yeah.
• 1:00
  So I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to have you.
• 1:03
  What is your current goal in life?
• 1:05
  Current goal in life right now I'd have to say is I'm going
• 1:09
  through a transitional phase of getting married very soon.
• 1:13
  So in just a couple weeks going to be going through that and
• 1:16
  then moves on from there to the married life.
• 1:20
  Right now everything's a little rocky in the market, but
• 1:23
  hopefully looking for a house and starting to make that next
• 1:26
  transition to, you know, adulthood.
• 1:29
  So so right now that's the goal is to make sure that there's a
• 1:32
  smooth landing in in that whole process of everything I.
• 1:35
  Love that. What are you currently doing to
• 1:37
  achieve your goals? Well, right now it's been taking
• 1:41
  everything one step at a time is you have to realize that
• 1:45
  everything's a process and everything.
• 1:48
  You can't put the cart before the horse.
• 1:50
  So right now to achieve it, it's just been trying to look at
• 1:56
  everything that's going on, whether it's professionally
• 1:58
  speaking, it's in the ring, it's personal health well-being, it's
• 2:03
  personal relationships with friends and family.
• 2:06
  It's been trying to just manage everything and take everything,
• 2:10
  take everything at face value and, you know, just kind of take
• 2:14
  everything one step at a time, OK?
• 2:17
  What is currently holding you back or a distraction from your
• 2:19
  goals? I'd have to say it comes down to
• 2:26
  I personally am a big fan of a lot of things.
• 2:28
  I really enjoy doing a lot of things, whether it's being here
• 2:31
  and performing and doing stunt fights and wrestling.
• 2:34
  And when I was, when I was gone on deployment, I picked up, I
• 2:39
  was doing jiu jitsu quite a bit. I picked up running.
• 2:42
  I was doing half marathon training.
• 2:44
  So I did a half marathon when I got back.
• 2:46
  But now I, you know, you have to start managing priorities and
• 2:51
  looking at things what you can and can't do, how you know,
• 2:54
  especially now being with somebody, you have to make sure
• 2:58
  that your both your schedules line up.
• 3:00
  So the biggest distraction or things getting in front of it is
• 3:05
  just having to manage priorities and putting things in, you know,
• 3:09
  putting things in perspective that way.
• 3:11
  OK, who are What motivates or inspires you?
• 3:16
  Honestly, it comes down to close friends and family, I would say,
• 3:23
  seeing all the things that they're doing.
• 3:24
  I have three older brothers, you know, one one has his own
• 3:28
  business. He has four kids of his own.
• 3:31
  The other one is is as a baby, expecting on the way.
• 3:34
  It's actually going to be here any minute now.
• 3:36
  The other one just had a son last year.
• 3:38
  So seeing, you know, seeing them move on and, and do great
• 3:42
  things, and then also seeing my extended family here at the
• 3:47
  sanctuary and seeing around the the wrestling stunt fighting
• 3:50
  landscape, seeing people do great things, it makes me go,
• 3:54
  you know, I wow, that's really cool.
• 3:56
  I really want to do something cool like that too.
• 3:58
  That's awesome. So what are you grateful for and
• 4:01
  are you currently happy? What am I grateful for?
• 4:06
  I'd have to say I do have a lot of stability in my life.
• 4:10
  I have a lot of, luckily, you know, there's a lot of people,
• 4:14
  especially as they come back from a deployment and they come
• 4:16
  back from a, you know, being gone.
• 4:20
  Luckily I had a job to come back to.
• 4:22
  And, you know, with that job, I, you know, I'm taken care of.
• 4:27
  I have my family, I have, you know, my fiance, I have a good
• 4:31
  structure. So I, I have to say, you know,
• 4:33
  there's a lot of people that don't come home to something
• 4:36
  like that, that their transition phase when they come back from
• 4:40
  deployment, it's not that well. So I'm, I'm really grateful that
• 4:44
  I have a, you know, a good support channel.
• 4:47
  Yet again, family, friends, my extended family here at the
• 4:50
  sanctuary. I, you know, I'd, I'd have to
• 4:54
  say that that's been one of the big things and also my health.
• 4:57
  I, when I was gone, especially picking up, you know, being
• 5:01
  there is you're kind of just accountable for yourself.
• 5:03
  So it gave me a chance to really focus on a lot of stuff.
• 5:06
  I definitely picked, like I said, I picked up running.
• 5:09
  I was hitting the gym much more seriously.
• 5:12
  I got myself in a lot better shape, which then translates
• 5:15
  into being here and, you know, physical, overall physical
• 5:19
  performance and physique. Look, things like that.
• 5:22
  But then shoot, what was I going to say?
• 5:27
  I know I just drew a blank, but it's all good.
• 5:32
  But yeah, Oh, my health. Yeah.
• 5:34
  But yeah, I'd have to say definitely my, my health.
• 5:38
  But am I happy? Yeah, of course I'm happy.
• 5:40
  I got I have no reason to complain when I when whenever I,
• 5:43
  you know, I talk to people or I see things happen, I always say
• 5:46
  like, you have no reason to complain.
• 5:48
  You have especially, you know, I have roof over my head, clothes
• 5:51
