Hello,

bienvenito, bonjourno, my amigos.

Welcome one and all to a brand spanking new episode of the low life podcast.

I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking, mountain hiking, beard growing, hot mess of a host.

Lorenzo von Rumpf.

I'm so freaking happy to be here with you today. There is no place I'd rather be

than right here with my low lifers. I hope you were having a beautiful summer and you're feeling

good right now. But if you're not in a good headspace, if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed,

shitty right now, depressed, anxious, all of the above, don't you worry, boo-boo. Don't you fret. You have come to the right place. We're about to turn that frown upside down. We've got a great episode in store for you today. We're getting back in touch with our roots. Back to the basics here at the low life podcast. It is a solo mission. It's just you and I.

and you're feeling incredible. That's definitely not where I'm out right now, but I'm going to rate

my mental health a solid 7.5 out of 10 right now, which is like a 75%, let's say. It's a C plus. I'm

feeling good. Not incredible, not amazing, a C plus. I'm feeling good.

Not incredible, not amazing, but just good. I'm getting by. And I'm happy where I'm at right now. I went to Montana, which I talked about last week for a bachelorette party. I'm going to do a deep dive into bachelorette parties. If you have any stories to share, please send them through. You can email me. you can DM me, or in the low-life Facebook

group. It goes down there too. You could drop your story in the Facebook group. But I loved

Montana, Montana, Whitefish Montana. Shout out to everybody in Whitefish, Montana. What a beautiful place.

And I had this nice escape into the forest. I took shrooms. I ran around in my underwear. I took edibles. I went on

hikes. I was thriving. Loved it. And so coming back home to the concrete jungle, although I was very
