And I'm like, I'm sitting here, but pressure and adrenaline is dumping, right?

And so I was like, let me do my breath, my breath technique, box four, four breath, and in, out, and hold, and all this stuff. And I got down to like, 100. I'm like, goodness, crazy, this is higher than what I'm training at. And I'm trying to monitor everything that I'm doing. I get to the line. And I look down at 127. seven. I'm going, I walked here. I can't run. Right? That's when I realized I got to be in better shape. This episode of the Koleon Noir podcast is brought to you by Vetter Holsters.

Always good seeing you. Yes, yeah, always a pleasure, always a pleasure, man. What have you been up to? Teaching, competing, trying to stay in shape, trying to live a good life. We always do that. I will say, at least from my perspective, my opinion, you're always in shape. You're always in shape. one that's like I feel like I just yo-yo all over the damn place and I'm just like,

And I'm just like, oh, I'm going to do it. Peter has to hear him deal with me talking about this shit all the time. I'm like, I'm going to, I'm going to cut. And I've been uncut for like three years. Different lifestyle, right? That's the, that's the weird thing about it, right? It's kind of like, it's definitely hard, like the traveling a lot.

And I'm making excuses but nonetheless yeah the traveling makes it harder like if I when I get into a routine I start like I start

dropping I've seen you yeah yeah I was like you do well quick when you're in a routine.

Yes.

Yeah, your body responds.

Yep.

And then, yes, if I, if I'm consistent for a short, even just short periods of time,

yeah.

Body responds really well.

The problem is then traveling hits, right?

Or the drinking, right?

So it's not that I'm a drunker than I get drunk every night, but the drinking starts affecting like even just two drinks, calories, sleeping, you know, metabolic, fat burning with all that scientific bullshit that they talk about that alcohol stops doing and stuff like that. Or, you know, just blow, you know, stuff like that.

Yeah. And which is crazy because it's like, I weigh myself every morning. Yeah. You already know what I'm about to get it to. Yeah. Dude, it is a mind fuck of epic proportions, dude. It's like, it's like, oh, oh, oh, I'm down and then five hours and i'm like what the fuck
