Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake up, wake yo as wake yo as wake.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hi, everybody, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I I obviously will talk about it in the news,
but I just cannot believe what is happening in southern
California right now.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It is.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Of no exaggeration, something you would see in a film.
Like in a movie, it is eerie aerial shots of
entire towns being completely wiped out, like gone. I mean, schools,
grocery stores, friends' houses, families, homes. I mean, there are
so many people that had to just abandon their car
(00:57):
to go because you know. I think something specific too,
is these fires are happening, so everyone's like, oh, the fires.
My house is a little bit removed from the fires,
but it's the embers and the ashes that are flying
because the winds are eighty to one hundred and ten
miles per hour and houses are lighting up that might
not even be close close in proximity.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
There's a video that I watched this.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Morning of a young kid and he's you can see
the fire off in the distance, but he's running it
like choked me up. He's running in and out of
his home, trying to grab as many things that he can.
And I hate the sentiment of people saying things like
these are celebrities.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Some of these homes are from celebrities. They have the
money to.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Rebuild, Yes they of course, yes they do. But that
doesn't mean they don't have sentimental things in their home.
Doesn't mean that their whole life is inside that house.
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, theoretically the average person has insurance, so fine, right,
but that's.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Also a big question. Now you're hearing about this.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I heard some actors don't have insurance for fires.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
There's a lot of crazy, there's a lot of insurance
questions this morning, and I was watching a quick thing
that Trump was talking about. But a lot of these
home insurance policies got rid of wildfire policies because they
were having so many. Yeah, I could be I don't know,
I'm not that could be sure on it. But it's
something like that that that a lot of people and
(02:15):
a lot of insurance companies is going to be.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's gonna be a lot of back and forth because
of this.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And it's crazy to think that now we're talking about that,
that the whole point of insurance is in case something
bad like this happens, you should be here covered now
for insurance company to pull that away. I'm not shocked,
but that's shocking that they did that.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And beyond this, guys, they're running out of water, which
is like I watched a video this morning of a
firefighter taking a a cone and there was a puddle
and he was trying hard to pick up water in
the cone and it's it's it's crazy. Fire hydrants on streets.
They have to just watch whole buildings burn down because
(02:53):
they don't have the water to even put it out.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I'm saying that the piping is getting destroyed by the
fires too. Yeah, you know what I mean. So there's
no way to try water into anywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And believe it or not, there's looting, yeah, save your life,
you right, Yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
To grab someone's deal. Like you know, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Just when you see the visuals and you think that
it's the worst that it can be the next day,
it's like it's even worse now. Like I don't know
how LA bounces back from this. I don't know if
it ever does.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No, And that's Pacific Palisades is gone, Like it's literally gone.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
There's no other way to put it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And there's something about this I think, you know, when
when devastation happens.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's hard for people to kind of be like, imagine
what that would feel like.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
But I think we can all take a step back
and imagine what it would be if you walked up
to your house and it was burning down, like you
couldn't do anything, and your whole life is inside that home.
Did you see the video of the guy he ran
back to Pacific Palisades because he had a whole barn
full of horses and he was trying to get his
horses out. He's like, I just opened up the door.
I grabbed a couple of horses and opened up, and
I hope the other ones run out. It's like, again,
(04:00):
something out of a movie.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You mentioned it too, which I don't think a lot
of people are talking about. But I'm sure there are
a lot of people who had to have left their
dogs and cats there just because like they didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Have You have to get out three of five of
these fires. This, to me is the most important thing.
Three out of five of these fires have zero containment, zero,
meaning they have not a single hold on those fires,
just going and going and going, and like we learned yesterday,
(04:30):
they're spreading football field lengths in seconds, which is crazy.
Hollywood Hills is up in flames right now. Run in Canyon.
I don't know if you did you ever do running
in your time.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I've driven by. I didn't do it physically, but I
know it's like a spot because because you've I've done it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's just such a popular hiking spot in La I
feel like, you know a lot of people do it.
When they go, it's everything is up in flames. I
mean they have evacuated the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Like
Hollywood Boulevard is ghost town. Everyone had to leave, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Because that's right up so like Hollywood Hills. Yeah, it's
so close. And that's the thing. They're rolling hills with
houses and stuff. So like when the fire is spread,
that's so easy. It's hard to contain.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And counting, of course, but right now they're estimating over
two thousand structures are gone, not just like gone.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
By the way. The death toll I think I saw
this morning was at five. There's I was gonna to
be beyond that. There's gonna be a large number of
people who are still missing, which is and.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I think there'll be a large number of people who,
like I'm saying, they're like, oh, yeah, the fires are
off in the distance, but we're not close enough and
they don't realize with the wind, it could be there
in a second.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The visuals on this are just crazy. I don't think
we've hit any like with TikTok and Instagram and a
lots of people are like first hand accounts and they
are scary.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
They're from inside the house. The aerial shots really put
it into perspective. Like it was like, it's cool, we
saw a couple of streets on fire, but when they
really took these aerial shots and you see just how
massive like this fire is compared to how big the
cities are already, I was like, yeah, damn.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
My best friend Jody lives in Manhattan Beach, so just
so like perspective wise, Manhattan Beach is about twenty minutes
from Lax, so she's probably thirty forty minutes from Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
She's a good thirty minutes from Malibu.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Her backyard caked in ash, and she's again not we're
not not crazy far, but not crazy close either. Ash
everywhere it's it is crazy and so col right now,
it's again it's like I've never seen anything like this.
This is the most this is I think some to
the Pacific Palisades is the most devastation California has ever
(06:35):
seen from.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
A while time. Do we know how this started? Like? No,
just like I think it's super dry out there and like.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
They haven't had any rain, and usually they do. I
guess this is usually their rain season and they're having none.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
The wind.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But there is I know you, I know you love
good conspiracy theory for him. There is a conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Theory right now online that I've been seeing.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Everywhere that people believe that the Hollywood Hills fire near
Running Canyon was done on purpose.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Whether that's true.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Because there's crazy people out there world burn.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Because those those two aren't close enough where it would
make sense.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, they definitely aren't. They are at least twenty minutes apart,
at least so.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And I feel like every time I turn, it's another celebrity.
And I think, you know, celebrities are being named just
because we know them. They can't name every single person
because it's you don't know everyone. Everybody know, it's wild.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah. To Foorn's point, though, the airline shots of people from.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
The pass, no, I'm not kidding. Pacific Palisades is nothing.
From the aerial shot, it's nothings.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And the Palisades were super nice. That's where like I
would look at homes and be like, oh, there's a
fifty million dollar home here. I would love that, like
house I saw.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Chet Hanks wrote, you know that this is my childhood,
this is where I grew up, this is where my
family and I lived our lives, and it's nothing now.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It's just crazy. So we're going to keep you updated.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We also have a friend of the show who's in
Venice right now, but escape Hollywood to get to Venice.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He's gonna check in with us around six thirty.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, check with them. The videos that he's sending are crazy.
He was in Hollywood last night and then from his house,
like you can see the smoke, it's engulf the entire sky.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah. And if you know somebody in La or you
want to join the show six one seven nine three
one one nine four five six one seven nine three
one one nine four five, of course you can do that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
We'll talk about La obviously all morning long.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Thoughts and prayers continue to be there, and let's really
really hope that they start to get a handle on
some of these wildfires because the devastation is it's awful.
Wake up, wake yo as wake yo as wake.
