0:20.9	What's up guys? Welcome to the Jitsu podcast. Today, Eugene and I are going to talk to Leah Stumpf. So that's Andy Stump's wife. If you guys have ever listened to his podcast is pretty popular. And then also he was on the podcast probably about two years ago. Yeah. I think because I was, so I met Leah, his wife and I met Andy at the same time. So Andy had me on his podcast and I came out to Montana to do it.
0:24.2	And when I was out there, I met Leah and was able to train with them. And I guess that was almost exactly two years at the time of like filming this right now. Because it was like,
0:28.8	it was in December of 2020. And so I remember going out there and it was like, you know,
0:33.8	it was kind of weird because this was in the still in the middle of like the COVID
0:38.4	COVID times. Oh yeah. It was it wasn't like you know, because 2021 it started to be,
0:42.5	yeah, whatever, but like 2020, we were still in the still in the thick of it in a lot of places.
0:47.1	And I remember going out and, you know, going, I remember going to breakfast one morning and like, I didn't have to wear a mask. I was like, this is great.
0:54.8	Yeah.
0:55.1	Yeah.
0:55.8	Yeah.
0:56.8	Yeah.
0:57.8	There's a small town.
0:57.8	So some people would wear it and some people wouldn't, which was like, I was like,
1:00.8	this seems more fair.
1:01.9	You know, I mean, like if I'm, if I'm the dote that's, you know, but I think I'm okay. And so like I was like, I went one morning, you know, I got to go to the breakfast place I found on the Yelp and I was like, ate it, but anyway, this has nothing to do with what we talked about.
1:17.6	So anyway, Lee is super cool.
1:19.6	Yeah, she's awesome.
1:20.6	She met her when I was out there in training with her and she's good.
1:23.6	She came to the origin camp, got to talk with her a bit. And, you know, one of the things that I wanted to talk with her personally about, because I was curious from a gym owner, from a, you know, Jitsu blackout, all these things is like, hey, tell me more about, like, the experiences of women in Jiu Jitsu because, you know, there's some people that, like, for instance, they don't want to admit the differences in men's some people that like for instance they don't want
1:44.9	to admit the differences in men and women right like they don't want it like they want to act like
1:49.5	we're the same and like that's nonsense of course we're not you know what i mean it's it's obviously
1:55.2	we're not the same and any woman that's honest understands that and lee is super tough tough
