"That's the good stuff"

I love to listen to the chess commentary of Antonio Radić, aka agadmator. He has an extremely popular chess channel on YouTube. He's very personable, beginning each video with an enthusiastic "Hello, everyone!", and clearly loves chess; his passion for it is infectious. He uses certain pet phrases in every video. Contrary to what you might think, this repetition isn't boring; in fact, I find myself looking forward to hearing him say each of these phrases. In a way, they're akin to a chess doxology. When agadmator praises an especially good chess move, he says "That's the good stuff". On Friday night, for the first time in a long time, I had a hand where I made a straight flush. That's the good stuff, too :-)
