Philadelphia, euphoria at Attic Brewing Company.

We can't be long. Yeah.
So let's get right into the question.
Let's make more content because I have a small break, Yes?
What? Is your current goal unless.
My current goal in life in general, I would say, like I've
always said, it's a it's to makeothers happy.

(01:11):
I I just think that the most important thing you can do for
another person is make them smile, make them laugh, because
when a person's laughing, they're not worried about
anything. I just interviewed sexy Eddie.
That made me smile. Oh yeah, that'll that'll happen.
And laugh. That's a good time.
What? Are you currently doing to
achieve it? Probably not the same stuff Sexy
Eddie's doing. Oh, to achieve it, I mean, I'm

(01:33):
doing commentary, you know, I try to, you know, I love like
really putting other people likeover and letting them like
shine. But if I could slip a joke in or
two, then that's going to happen.
It's been Pokémon heavy here, yes at before Yeah, I've been
making a lot of I. Have cards?
I have cards. Did you?
Get the. Cards.
I got cards. Yeah, I gave one to one of the
ugly ducklings. If you I want a card, if you

(01:55):

Actually, you know what I love You give them a hollow give.

cut the the fingers. Yeah, someone's face off.
Yeah, yeah. Excellent.
I have I have an unopened pack well.
This is a great day for me. We're gonna great day.
I'm. I'm you do an unboxing.
Later I have an idea for that cool.
I. What do you we?

(02:16):
We asked what you're doing Achievement your Pokémon got me
off balance. Yes.
What are you doing to achieve your goals?
I mean, I'm doing a lot of commentary, doing a lot of stand
up comedy, doing, you know, the podcast.
I just, I love just reaching outand helping people achieve their
goals. Yeah, like my job as a
commentary is to make other people look good, and I love
doing that. So that's what I've been up to.

(02:37):
Awesome. What is currently holding you
back or a distraction from your goal?
Doing doing podcasts halfway through commentary jobs?
I mean, yeah, like lack of time,you know, there's only so many
hours in the day. I have to stop and eat food
which I I'm trying not to today.I haven't.
I've had barely any food for thelast two days because I got to,

(03:00):
you know, sit down and make podcasts.
So. Yeah.
My human, my fleshy body. What, who, who, or what
motivates or inspires you? Who or what I mean, there's a
lot of people who inspire me in the world of A lot of people are
surprised when I say this, but one person that really inspires

(03:20):
me, I really enjoy their work isMatt Stryker.
I think Matt Stryker as a commentary was great because a
lot of he wouldn't just call themove he'd always mentioned, like
what that move did, why it was affected, who was being injured
by it. And I really appreciated that.
A lot of people don't care for Matt Striker's work.

(03:40):
I love Matt Striker's work. We'll get into this stuff.
What are you great before and are you currently happy?
I'm very happy man. You know, life's too short to be
unhappy. I've always had a very like laid
back chill feeling about things.Not that I don't ever get sad,
it's just that I know sadness isa natural feeling that will pass

(04:05):
so I do not dwell and I look forward to when I will be happy
again. I'm sitting next to my buddy
Abgi. Miss working with you brother, I
really do. I do miss I.
Just want to be positive man, a little positivity.
Yes, yes. Where can people find and
support you? You find me, I'm on Twitter.
I don't say X at under score. Scott Holiday, You find me on
Instagram. Also check out my YouTube show

(04:27):
which is +2 wrestling. It's AD and D joke if you if
you're paying attention and how.He said he puts some people over
on commentary. He also does so on his YouTube
channel. Yeah, numerous times he's put
over this podcast and I really appreciate that.
Yeah, I have a whole episode just talking about other YouTube
channels I like. Mention this guy and some other
people. Hi, Peter Delong.

(04:48):
So he was just brought up a lot last time too.
Sexy Eddie and PD go way back. Yeah, all.
Right. Well that'll do it. 5 questions
with ABG. Five questions already.
That was it. Oh my God, the next match is
starting. I gotta go.
It is a bite. Right, we are back for the bonus

(05:41):
question. 5 questions, baby. Jay, I'm gonna ask you a
question to Scott Holiday here and we're gonna open this card.
We're gonna. Yeah, we're unboxing.
We're doing unboxing. It's a whole thing.
We're doing a whole thing. All right, So my question is why
we open this and we RIP it? I struggle at commentary.
I get told I'm selfish. I get told I I, I, I, I try to

(06:01):
put out myself over too much. But I have a feeling is like as
a commentary person, I think we don't have to fit in the
traditional confines of commentary.
I think we're allowed to be as expressive and do our own thing.
I. I it depends on the company.
You know, there's some people that want to treat it like
sports and if if you know how todo this, no, there's a special
way I'm. Going to let you do it.
But they're like, here's the thing, I'm driving as fat as far

(06:23):
as most wrestlers do. And I feel like, well, we're not
in there for 8 for 8 minutes. We're there for two hours shows.
And I think we should have our away to express ourselves
artfully as as everybody else. Oh.
Yeah, I mean, if if you hire Scott Holland, like the first
thing I'm going to say is like, these are the things I always
do. Yes.
And then like kind of like a slider and a creator wrestler.

(06:44):
It's like, do you want it to be more sports?
Do you want it to be more jokes?Like what do you?
Want. Great.
If you hire ABJ, Yeah, you're getting Pat McAfee before Pat
McAfee. Yeah, yeah, that that's kind of
your vibe. I.
And you can cosign that. I was doing that before.
Absolutely, absolutely. If you get me, it's now fancy
suits. That's a big thing for me.
No, no fancy suits here, not at all.
All right. What do we do is.
Match end No, I think we're still good all right, so who we

(07:07):
got we got we got 2 clops OK, that's a good end.
We got another dusk noir. I just we were given this card.
Yep. And all my boy Mercro.
You could have that. I love Mercro.
That's a limited edition. That's that's yeah, this is a
limited edition Pokémon Halloween style card, so I'm

(07:28):
going to keep Mercro. I love Mercro.
