(00:27):
Welcome everybody, we are back. Five questions with a BJ
WrestleMania weekend, Addict Brewing Company, Labor of love.
Huge thank you. You guys let me come in here and
film. I gotta be honest, the beers are
pretty good. Loving the beers.
Wrestling has not started yet, but I'm sure it's going to be
crazy. It is pouring down rain all wake
week in Philly, but I think that's going to show why this
(00:49):
city is the best wrestling city in the world.
Because rain, snow, thunderstorms, whatever it is,
you're not stopping us in this awesome weekend of professional
wrestling. I am joined here with today.
Hey, it's me. Delightful Dan the candy man.
I hope we don't mind if I as. Sweet as fish, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, please, please.
My favorite. Did you know this?
(01:10):
Did you know this? My favorite.
All right. Actually, no, I didn't know it
and I brought it specifically for that.
Maybe, maybe there's a candy question at the end here.
So what is your current goal in life right now?
You shouldn't eat while you're on camera.
But we're breaking all the rules.
We're. Breaking also crinkling it in
front of them. Yeah, that's that's good.
That's good ASMR. It's really just get, get around
(01:32):
as much as I can. Put as many smiles on faces as I
can, you know, see where I can go with this silly wrestling
thing. And it's fun with it.
It's very silly when you boil itdown.
Right, it is very I. Had these two guys on before.
Take it they're too serious. They take things too serious.
Oh, I'm going to beat every You're brand candy.
I saw them, they had scowls on. Yeah, just.
Like, come on, guys. Yeah, it's pro wrestling.
(01:54):
Jesus. Anyway, what are you currently
doing to achieve your goals? I mean, I'm, I'm just trying to,
yeah, go out, be, be present, work on myself, work on
everything around me, try to make everywhere I'm at a better
place to be. I want smiles on from the.
Fans to. The locker room I.
(02:15):
Want you brought smiles for me. I'm eating Swedish.
Fish I want to bring joy to to literally everyone I possibly
can. I'm drinking beer and eating
Swedish fish. You you are hands down so far
the best 5 questions with. ABG obviously.
Thank you, but. Don't tell the other.
Guys, I know, I know I am. But but in all honesty, it's
like it's like, you know, I don't think any some people get
(02:35):
into wrestling when they're older, but most of us, it's like
when we're kids, we're like, oh,look at this wrestling.
It's really cool. I I like that.
It doesn't need to be much more than that.
I eat candy. I like that.
Doesn't need to be much more. So I want people to see a thing
and say I like that. I will say this, I know, I know
some of these catch point guys are going to the northeast PA
area like the school county and working places like that.
(02:58):
There's there's a guy named the dude.
The dude has gummies. Do not eat those, OK?
Yeah, they they have a little extra to them and you will get a
little weird in the head. Oh yeah.
So stay away from those. Give them a try.
I mean, I've eaten. I've eaten some pretty crazy
stuff. All right, all right.
Yeah, I've eaten my fair share of warheads.
And they are. These are a little it's a
different war you're going to fight in your head in that
(03:20):
situation, but what is currentlyholding you back are a
distraction from your goals. I will say I do think that
people see someone like me, which I understand.
I'm not the most conventional professional wrestler.
I'm not serious. I want to fight you all the
time. But I do want to wrestle and I
do want to win and I take it seriously when I do it.
(03:41):
I just, I'm not angry. I, I apologize for that.
If you want anger, you're usually not going to get it out
of me. But I think a lot of people see
me and they see me as a comedy wrestler or a gimmick guy or a
joke. And it's, I'm a wrestler, you
know, I, I think people don't necessarily see me as a
(04:02):
wrestler. And, you know, I think that that
that gets in my way at at points, but I want to push
through that so that wrestling isn't just one thing.
It is the canvas on which you paint.
The art, well there there's a guy on TV now who's throwing up
little tiny thumbs UPS and he doesn't really, he's not a
conventional guy either. And he's the number one merch
seller. So I think, I think sometimes
(04:23):
when you stay true to yourself, you're going to do pretty well.
Absolutely, yeah. Who or what motivates or
inspires? You wow, funny you speak about
that guy. He is Orange Cassidy is
definitely up there. He, I, I've gotten to work with
him in the past and his, his attitude to, to wrestling, I
think is amazing. Also, you know, I got to say big
(04:45):
up my school T2T wrestling Academy.
I've been part of it since 2020 and honestly, everyone involved
there, Logan Black and the head trainer is a huge inspiration
that he's really done a lot for me.
Angelo Carter, one of my best friends, who you'll see him
everywhere in a matter of minutes.
And also just the pretty much the entire student base.
(05:08):
We've had people come in and say, oh, I want to check this
out because this is the gay school.
It wasn't started as the gay school.
But I see so many people who just feel comfortable being
there. And the more, the more queer
students, the more queer representation we have, the more
come in. And it's great because like I,
you know, I've been lucky. I, I am a CIS person.
(05:28):
I've gotten to live a pretty privileged life by comparison.
People have done a lot more struggling than I have.
So, you know, my peers inspire me and I hope to inspire them
to, you know, root them up and show them how good they can be.
I think Effie said it best. Wrestling.
He's gay. It really is, yeah.
It truly is, and there's nothingwrong with that, I'll tell you
that right now. What are you currently grateful
(05:49):
for and are you happy? Currently, I would have to say I
am grateful that we are coming off of Easter and if you go to a
local Target or Walmart, everything's going to be marked
down. You might have to go to the back
of the store. To find.
It candy. Good.
Particularly the Kit Kat lemon bars.
I know my friend Bobby Orlando is a huge fan of them.
(06:11):
Any chance he gets he will ask me for them.
So they are seasonal items, so make sure you pick them up now.
Have you had the the donut ones yet?
No. I haven't.
I'm looking for them. Have you guys seen them?
The Kit Kat plays donut. I need to get that in my life.
And am I happy? I don't know.
He looks pretty happy. Where can people find and
support you? So I'm all over social media.
(06:34):
Find me mainly on TikTok, but also, you know, at Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, all at God at goddamn Candy, man.
Also follow along with TGT Wrestling Academy under
different handles in Brooklyn. We just launched our YouTube
channel, so every Tuesday we'll be putting out matches.
(06:56):
And I'm really proud of the workthat we've all been doing.
A lot of stuff hasn't really been released to the public
before, so I'm excited for people to see what's about to
come out of 222 in Brooklyn. There's some good.
Stuff cooking. That's fantastic.
All right, We'll see you guys next on the next time 5
questions. ABJ, we're out of here.
(07:54):
We are back, still drinking, still eating candy.
This is amazing. One of the coolest 5 questions,
I got to be honest, is one of myfavorites.
Very cool guy, very cool. I mean, if I don't ask a candy
question to the candy man, I think it's it's a disservice to
everybody, you know, it's a disservice to my channel.
It's a disservice to the world. We just got off Easter with a
big one of the biggest candy holidays.
(08:16):
What are your top five like Desert island candies.
You go to a gas station on the way to a show, you're getting
that sugar rush before your match.
What are you grabbing? Do you have children?
No. OK, No.
Well, if anyone, God no. If anyone out there has.
I don't have. To share candy.
I don't want to do that, Yeah. But if you have children out
there and you are sincerely asked who is your favorite
(08:38):
child, I think that's a very disrespectful question to ask.
All right? That's like a Sophie's Choice
question. And the fact you asked me that
really hurts me. But I understand why you ask it.
But yeah, it's a tie between literally every candy that's
ever existed throughout the history of time.
But I'd say, you know, things goin and out.
(08:58):
And right now, as I mentioned before, you know, those lemon
kit Kats are pretty good. And I'm also partial to take
Fives. OK, just come off the top of my
head. Are you partial to, like,
gummies, just chocolate bars to like, Is there a preference?
Yeah. I'm partial to all of them.
OK, OK, I personally I'm a Peachring guy.
I love Peach. Ring.
I'm a Peach ring, blue sharks. I think I learn more gummies
(09:20):
than anything fair. Are you a fan of Army guys?
I've never had. Those they are.
Green apple gummies they are. Green apples a tough self.
It's a really good, it's a good flavor.
If you see them, they're hard tocome by.
But if you see. Them If there's a bowl of Jolly
Ranchers, I'm eating every flavor but green apple.
Interesting. Yeah, I'm leaving those for,
for, for the psychopaths of the world who eat those.
(09:41):
That's wild. Yeah, I think people do that
with grape, which I I love grape.
Yeah, love. I think grape is great but green
grape flavor? Also, you ever get the the Peach
eggs? It's like a little, it looks
like a cracked egg. Oh yeah, yeah, they're pretty
good. They're good ones.
Delicious. Peach flavor is just my jam.
OK. Yeah, definitely.
This is more a question to you. Yeah, Yeah, I.
Think you got me excited. You got me super excited about
(10:02):
Candy, but yeah, a blessed man. Please go support this guy.
Very fun. All my guests on this channel
have been amazing and we have way more content coming.
