You're going to. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the real bodybuilding podcast I'm here with Mr.

Steve Kuglo for episode 135 how are you sir?

Great always good to be on your show yeah man what's going on I haven't talked to you in a

long time it's been a minute it's been a. I know you're from what I see and your

show's just killing it over here so I'm proud of you. Yeah, thank you man. I'm happy the show's doing well and even better

I'll be commentating at the Arnold this year.

So I get to see you guys up close.

Oh, nice.

I gotta make sure I don't hurt nobody's feelings.

I gotta make sure I figure out how to how to commentate without.

All right, just give me your Venmo so I could, you know, pay you a little bit and say some nice things about me.

Okay.

What's going on man?

I wanted to, I wanted to start by talking about last year because, yeah.

I want to know how you felt about last year because I want to know how you felt about last year do you feel like it it was a down year for you or it was just circumstances or how do you feel about last year's competition season because everybody always expects you to be at the

Olympia and you were just kind of edged out at the end there so right how do you feel about 21?

I think 21 was a little bit of a unique year the way the schedule laid out. I think the way, you know, they had a bunch of shows in a row, so it was going to be a run of shows and then there was that cutoff for when they stopped qualifying for the O.

I felt if I kind of put all my eggs in the Texas basket, I'd be able to qualify.

If not, then go to the Arnold type thing.

Yeah.

Texas obviously didn't pan out like I wanted, very close between Ian and I.

Yeah.
