#1047 - Andy Stumpf

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Yee-haw, Andy Stumpf! We're here, ladies and gentlemen.

The party's already started. We're drinking something that my friend Ben O'Brien invented. It's called a Rye Brain. It's a whiskey and alpha brain.

Andy Stumpf (0:13)

And it's delicious.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

And a Yeti Tumbler.

Andy Stumpf (0:15)

Cheers.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Cheers, my brother. Good to see you, buddy.

Andy Stumpf (0:17)

Yeah, man, it's been a while.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

You're living the good life.

Andy Stumpf (0:21)

Hey, I'm still kicking, you know. It's another good day. I'm still vertical.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Yeah, but you're living the good life, man.

You're out doing what I want to do. You're out there in the fucking great state of Montana.

Andy Stumpf (0:31)

So I landed on Saturday, and yeah, I lived in San Diego for I think almost 10 years. Love San Diego. No complaints about California. It's beautiful.

The beaches, there's mountains, all that stuff.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

I love it.

Andy Stumpf (0:44)

Landed San Diego, got in the rental car, was going out to skydive, and couldn't even see the mountains out by where I'm going to go jump because it was all hazy and smoggy.

And it took me longer to get out of the parking lot than it does to get back to my house, go shoot the bow in the backyard, go do a workout. I was still in the San Diego International Parking Lot, so I can't wait to go back.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Yeah, there's good and bad.

There's good things about the big city life. You can get a lot of great restaurants, a lot of cool shit, but you've already done that.

Andy Stumpf (1:16)

We moved to a town that has 22,000 people from a subdivision of San Diego that had 260,000 people. And I honestly, my only regret is that it took us so long to pull the trigger on doing it. It is unbelievable.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

And have you done the winter yet? There yet?

Andy Stumpf (1:36)

Winter's coming.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

So you haven't done it yet. Yeah, once you get into that.

Andy Stumpf (1:41)

I visited the winter last year. We were there for the whole month of December. There was a few days. It was negative 10

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Okay.

Andy Stumpf (1:46)

Which I found, if you stand close enough to the fire, it feels just fine.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Yeah, man, just wear a nice, thick, like a real good jacket. You know, wear good wool undergarments. You could be all right.

Andy Stumpf (1:59)

I know some people who work in the industry to make the cold weather gear, just from my old job, and they send me some stuff, so it's really not that bad. And there's some things in life that I will spend good money on.

Cold weather gear, rain gear, just pony up and pay the extra money because it's going to pay off for you in the end.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

Yeah, get some real shit. My friend Tony lives in Columbus, Ohio, and the way he put it, he goes like, look, here's the deal. He goes, you can't really dress for hot weather.

He goes, but you could dress for cold weather. He goes, you wear warm clothes in cold weather, you're fine. He goes, but when it's hot out, it's just fucking hot out. You got to go indoors.

Andy Stumpf (2:34)

Or you can nude up, but then once you get to that level, you're done.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Yeah, but even when you nude up, it's that hot.

But it's like LA has no weather. It gets hot, and that's it. It rarely rains. If it rains 20 days a year, it's crazy. Nobody knows what to do.

Andy Stumpf (2:51)

Inside, I'm not going to lie, I was laughing and very happy when you were posting about it. I was like 105, 106 And Elkwood We Live is like 60 Beautiful, bluebird skies, a little bit of a breeze.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Yeah, I bet you get sick nighttime, starved looking too, right? What's the stargazing up there?

Andy Stumpf (3:08)

It's not hard to get out of that light pollution drive. We're fortunate we have, probably the reason we moved up there is we bought an investment property in 2016

And it's in the middle of nowhere, like probably 15 miles out. And you want to talk about no light pollution and the ability just to look up. And it doesn't look anything, unless you've experienced that, you can't describe how much you're missing out if you live in a city looking up. It's unbelievable.

Joe Rogan (3:33)

Yeah, it's weird, right? It's one of the weirdest things about civilization that we've chosen to do that.
