Welcome to the Bedroost Koolian show.

What's the difference between me and you?

Back when Q was rolling with Lorenzo and a Benzo, I was banging with a gang of instrumental.

All right, this is why you're not happy in life, even though there's so many great things that are happening that you should be happy for. Guys, welcome to the Bedros-Coolian show. My name is Bedros-Colian, and this episode is about getting your ass happy so that you can stop dwelling on the stuff that you can't control. And so before we talk about happiness, let me just catch you up because a lot of you

have been commenting on Instagram saying, B, you're getting leaner.

As I told you guys, a couple episodes ago, I'm on this quest to go down from 233 pounds

as of January 5th of 2026.

I weigh 223.

I am on my way to 205 to 210 and I want to hover around 10%

body fat. I'm doing that for multiple reasons. I'm 51 years old and obviously I don't want to carry

all this extra weight even though it makes me stronger. It's a lot of weight on my joints,

you know, ankles and knees and hips.

Also for jujitsu, I found that the right balance of strength and speed makes me a lot more deadly since I lack the skills.

I'm only just three years into jiu-jitsu, so I'm good for where I am, but nowhere near the level of some of the guys that I roll with,

which is a blessing because I get to learn from them.

But the faster I get, the more opportunities I'll be able to take advantage of on the mats.

And then, of course, thirdly, you know, having extra weight, carrying extra weight is a precursor to all cause morbidity, right?

So basically everything, blood pressure, diabetes, everything is worse when you weigh more, even if some of that weight is muscle.

And so I've gone from 233 pounds as of January 5th and I was around 14.5% body fat to currently 217 pounds this morning

and 11.5% body fat and again the goal is 205 to 210. I'm guessing I'll probably land there

somewhere in July of 2026 here in the next couple of few months because I'm doing it slow and steady and I'm trying to preserve as much muscle as possible while also getting rid of the body fat. So there you go. There's your update on my life. For those of you that wanted it, if you didn't want this, just fast forward and here we are. All right, so let's talk about this thing that's kind of gotten under my skin, right? Why so many people are unhappy today. And I realize it's not that, you know, you're not a grateful person or that you're not counting your blessings. You are. You are. The problem is we all have access to way too much information and our brain is not designed to handle this. That's the reality. Like, do you have any level of control over the war in Iran?

Do you have any level of control over the Epstein files?
