Every day, my Twitter feed is filled with dozens of random questions. This is where I provide the answers. It’s Ultimate X Q&A. Let’s do this.

Apart from your age, what is completely different about you from the person you were ten years ago?

Aside from the physical differences, the biggest changes have been that I used to be social and have friends to talk to, share with, and rely on. And now, I’m alone. My confidence is gone, and my self-esteem has vanished. I’m but a shell of who I once was, and while I can fake it, I can’t keep lying to myself. I’m not Dougie anymore. I don’t know who this guy standing here now is, but it’s not me. Not really.

What is something you’ve had to let go of in order to grow?

I had to end the best relationship I’ve ever had in my life, with the most incredible person. Have I grown? Not really. But I’ll keep lying to myself and saying it was for the best when truthfully, it is anything but.

If you had to pick one era of music to listen to for the rest of your life, which era would you choose?

It’s a tough call and I’m torn between the ’70s and the ’80s. I think I’ll choose the ’70s. After all, it’s where both Alice and Waylon became huge stars. Dr. Hook and the Village People were in their primes as well. So, the ’70s it is.

What are your thoughts on the recent efforts to reform or eliminate daylight saving time?

I don’t care one way or the other. It makes no difference to me.

Who’s your all-time favorite actor or director?

So far as actors go, my all-time favorite will always be James Dean. And for the best director, the award goes to Kevin Smith.

Most would agree that the 2 greatest NBA players are Michael Jordan and Lebron James (in that order). Who would be the Jordan and Lebron of WWE?

Who would be the MJ, the best of all time? Let’s go with the man who wears that title, Best in the World, as part of his name, CM Punk. And the Lebron of WWE? I’ll say Roman Reigns.

If you won a lifetime supply of the last thing you drank, what are you stuck drinking?

Well, damn. At the moment, I’m drinking Schweppes Ginger Ale. I forgot to go to the store earlier for Pepsi Zero and I’m saving my last one for breakfast tomorrow morning. So, I’m drinking these nasty-ass Ginger Ales instead. Well, damn!

How did you get through the hardest time of your life?

I grit my teeth, fake it, and keep on keeping on. I don’t have a choice.

Should Trump remove George Floyd monuments?

There shouldn’t be any Floyd monuments to begin with. Being a habitual criminal and drug addict is nothing to be celebrated or honored. The murals and statues honoring this criminal should be beneath the President’s notice. A full pardon for former Police officer Derek Chauvin should be the top priority. And yeah, the monuments should be removed and destroyed, but that’s not the President’s job. Issue an executive order and move on.

Would you rather have a successful podcast or a successful YouTube channel?

The successful podcast. And eventually, it will happen.
