LA Fire: It's All Politics

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott VORGIEZ stop me if you've heard this one before.
But I know that there are a number of people
out there. In fact, there was a news story last
week that I stared at and thought, do I want
to do this tired, old, stupid rant. Usually the answer
is yes, but I put it to the side and
said not. I'm not in the mood right now, but

(00:20):
it feels like I need to get it out, dust
it off, and deliver it here. It has to do
with the number of people saying I just can't with
the news and the politics right now. You know, I
don't get political. I don't want to be involved. I
don't want to know what's going on. It's just so
much easier to ball myself up into the fetal position
and not pay any attention to what's going on because

(00:42):
all the politics out there is oh divisive, and we're
all so mean and nasty to each nasty to each.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Other, probably because the other side are a bunch of Nazais.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
But I don't want to get involved in all that
stuff because I really don't get involved in politics. Politics
is not Republicans telling Democrats they're wrong, and Democrats telling
Republicans they're wrong, and every side trying to yell I'm right,
you're wrong, louder than the other side. That's what the

(01:11):
discourse has become. Politics is forest management, Politics is water management,
Politics is traffic management. To the standpoint that we have
more cops trying to guard homes and businesses so that

(01:31):
people don't go looting into these homes that are just
to be just about to be engulfed by wildfires, rather
than helping people get out of the city of Los
Angeles in these areas impacted by the wildfires. All of
that is politics. And there are a number of people
who have always said, well, I don't get involved in politics.

(01:53):
I don't mess with all of that stuff. Everything is politics.
What happens today with your kids' school politics, what's going
on with the roads? All politics? And as I said, firefighters, firefighting, budgets,
all the rest of this stuff, something called it's not
fire walls. What do they call these, uh is fire breaks.

(02:19):
Elon Musk tweeted and said these fires are easily avoidable,
but nonsense regulations in California prevent action being taken, so
year after year homes burned down, more people die. My
friend just texted me his house burned down again. His
old house also burned down in an uncontrolled wildfire several
years ago. California could easily stop these massive wildfires, but

(02:42):
refuses to put in fire breaks for bogus environmental reasons.
He said, crazy environmental regulations prevent building fire breaks and
clearing brush near houses, which allows massive fires to get going.
That's the assessment of Elon Musk. Now he's doing more
than just criticizing on social media. He's also sending those

(03:03):
weird string of pearl starlight satellites you can see here
with the naked eye from Earth. That causes people to
post pictures of it on social media, going.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Are we being invaded by aliens? Yes, there's a whole
string of lights in the sky. Those stars are moving.
That's the starlink. It gets your attention when you see
it for the first time. That was exactly my reaction
when I first saw it. Kids, come out here, look
at this. It's amazing. Orion's Belldus moving. He's running right

(03:35):
now like it's incredible. But he's sending those starlink satellites
over Los Angeles freeze starlink terminals to impact these areas
of Los Angeles or to help these impacted areas of
Los Angeles where they don't have internet service, they don't
have cell phone service in these areas. So he's doing

(03:56):
more than just criticizing. But he's also criticizing. And he's
not the only one. There are a number of very progressive,
liberal longtime Democrats also impacted by these fires there saying
what in the world are we paying for?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Here's the assessment. I don't know about this individual's politics.
I barely know who this guy is, but I like
what he has to say. He is one of these
dancers on Dancing with the has Been I mean Dancing
with the Stars, a guy named Valentine sure Kowski. I

(04:34):
don't watch Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
But I forget it. If he's sports, I'm not going
to know it.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, he's one of the dancers, but they came from
He's not one of the Dancing with the has books.
He's one of the professional dancers on the show that
dances with has Beens or never wors Like social media
influencers today, this season on Dancing with the Stars, here

(05:00):
someone who models giant sweatsuits on social media and has
literally hundreds and hundreds of followers.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
So it's this professional dancer on Dancing with the story.
I guess now, former professional dancer. He goes on social
media yesterday and says, fifth largest economy on the planet.
Firefighters didn't have enough water pressure to do their jobs.
Are you joking me? The taxes we pay for third

(05:29):
world infrastructure is unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
That is Valentin Schermskovski and that's his assessment having lived
in California.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
What makes me very sad is that it took this
kind of an absolute tragedy. It usually does, yes, but
it is the loss of possessions, of course, now the
loss of life, but the loss of so much memorabilia,
so much movie stuff, which doesn't mean anything of course
right now, but later on people are gonna start considering

(06:06):
or going through the things that they lost in their homes,
not just the everyday stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
People tend to pay more attention when they hear the
news that Michael Keaton's house is being threatened, Like, he
can stay at my house.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I saw Will Rogers house gone.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
And what did he have to say about it?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, he's been dead for quite a while.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That sounds sounds right. I wonder who lives in Will Rogers.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
House now, well nobody knows probably well right, sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's amazing though.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
You'll see these things like, you know, the the house
that belonged to whether it's you, John Wayne or Will Rogers,
you know, one of these historic homes there in the
Hollywood Hills, and like who lives there? Now some Chinese
billionaire that you know bought a technology company. Like well,
but that's not that no offense, but that's not as cool,

(06:58):
you know what.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
I want to really go back to one thing you
said earlier that the police were too busy guarding houses
for looters.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just oh you were No, no, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well, I was just going to say, if the house
is going to go down, is if it's going to
be eminent, I'd say let him go because two things
are gonna possibly happen. They're going to steal a bunch
of stuff that might show up on the black market later,
and some people might get their possessions back, right, or
they're gonna get burnt up. And well, you know, live
by the sword, die by the sword.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right, If you're Steve Gutenberg whose house has been impacted
by this, and you only have so much you can
put in your car and get out of there. You
might be like, Hey, if there's a bunch of guys
that are willing to go in there and loot and
steal some stuff, here's a list of things you can
grab that I can't take with me, and I'll check

(07:49):
you know, Facebook, Marketplace later today and maybe buy some
of this stuff back. We can do business together. It's
like paying a moving company.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Did he really say that.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, Here's what Steve Gutenberg said. He says people are
trying to get out of the area impacted by the
Palisades fire. He said, I know that a lot of
people are just stuck by the gridlock. You know, they're
trying to get out. They're on the roads, they're not moving.
I don't know what's going on up there, but there's

(08:21):
probably someone honking at a guy who refuses to goyo.
Probably what's going on up there. Can you imagine you
got a wildfire raging behind you, and you've got a
red light in front of you, and everyone's honking behind
you like I'm not gonna go. Well the light is red,
like no one's coming either way. But whatever the situation is,

(08:42):
these cars are just endlessly gridlocked. They can't get out
of there, and so people are just abandoning.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Their cars, which makes it worse.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's what Steve Gutenberg said. He said, if you're going
to abandon your vehicle while evacuating, just leave your keys
in the car so that crews when they finally get
in there and they need to get in and out
of the area, can at some point move your car
as they're gonna move it with their truck. Anyway, it's
a lot easier if you just leave the keys in it.
Don't leave it running emissions. You know, it is California.

(09:12):
He didn't say that. I'm saying that, but just leave
your keys in the car and then somewhere some crews
can come along and take it.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
But there's no internet, so nobody got the message.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
I don't know if Officer Mahoney aka Steve Gutenberg, Officer
Mahoney from the Police Academy movies is on like a bullhorn.
Usually not. You would usually give the bullhorn to Officer
Jones Michael Winslow, didn't. They reference him on yesterday's show
Can't do It Enough. Usually recently you can give him

(09:44):
the bullhorn and he can make the machine gun sounds
and the sirens and everything else there because he's the
human sound effects machine. But yeah, so Gutenberg is in there,
and a lot of people are like, how does he
still have money enough to live in that part? He
probably paid for his home and I guess can afford
the taxes on it. Let's not focus on that now.

(10:07):
The gridlock is also being talked about on social media
by actress Sarah Michelle Geller, who was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
If I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I didn't watch it, but I think that's right right.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
She's jastised in the mayor of Los Angeles. That's Karen Bass,
who may or may not be in Los Angeles right now.
I think she's on some visit to She's hanging out
at Mayor Stother's house in Saint Louis And so Mayor
Bass got ripped by actress Sarah Michelle Geller say, in
the city of LA you want everyone to evacuate, yet

(10:43):
you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on
the roads helping. Here's someone who apparently I don't know
if she's noteworthy, I don't know what she does, but
I saw a picture of her. I was like, Oh,
she's attractive, So some one's got to listen to what
she has to say.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Her name is Sarah Foster. Any idea?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
She says, we pay the highest taxes in California. Our
fire hydrants were empty, our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared.
Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders
wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut
by our mayor. But thank god, drug addicts are getting

(11:26):
their drug kits tagging the mayor of La and the
governor of California. And she says, she says, resign. Your
far left policies have ruined our state and also our party.
She's a Democrat, saying.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
This, Well, did they not know this when they went
in to the ballot.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Box because it didn't impact them at the time. Adam Carolla,
who I absolutely adore, and Lucy, you saw this on
Twitter X and you sent it to me x Twitter
probably should call it.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
X Twitter because it's ex Twitter. That's a put, all right.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So Adam Carolla goes on ex Twitter and he's ranting, saying,
basically to answer your question, how are these people concerned now?
Because now it's affecting them now? It's their houses that
are being burned up. When it was someone else's and
someone else's life and someone else's money and all the
rest of it. Fine, don't care whatever, But now it's

(12:18):
my house, it's my neighborhood. And suddenly they're realizing, like, oh,
the mayor did cut the fire budget by seventeen million
dollars this year. The reservoirs question whether or not they
were empty or full or whatever, but they do. Just
like we've seen the floods here in Omaha. The reservoirs
across the country are set up by Congress, which is

(12:40):
set up by environmental activists who tell the Army Corps
of Engineers, you can't have the reservoir this high. You can't,
you know. They're like, what about flood control? About what
if we need them for wildfires? Like, well, you need
them to protect the palid sturgeon or the smelt or
whatever it is, or the piping plover and everything else

(13:00):
that they're looking at that might be nesting or laying
eggs or swimming around in these things. And they don't
care at all about the Homo sapiens. And now that
some of these particular democratic celebrity Homo sapiens are being impacted.
Now they're like, hey, what happened here? What's Trump saying
about the brush not clear? Do we not have good

(13:21):
environmental policies when it comes to the floor of our
forests and the brush not being cleared out and so forth?
And people look at what's going on here between Trump
saying this about Newsom and Newsom firing back of Trump,
and they say, oh, it just makes me want to
cover my ears. It's you covering your ears and saying
I don't pay attention to the news, I don't vote,

(13:42):
I don't get involved in politics. I don't want to
mess with all that. That's how this stuff happens because
it's all politics. It doesn't have to be the angry
discourse and the ranting from idiots and blowhards like me.
It has to be you taking a look at common
sense things that happen with our military, our insurance, our healthcare,

(14:04):
our education, our roads, forest management, flood protection, and all
the rest of the stuff, because it's all impacted by
these people that you keep sending back to office. Whether
it's local, whether it's national. It's all politics, and you
can't just say ostrich head saying I'm out. You can't

(14:27):
do that because then this stuff happens. Scott atkfab dot
com Mike Emails says, compare the press coverage and attention
California is getting versus the devastation in North Carolina from
the hurricane and then the resulting floods. North Carolina and
the people there have been far more devastated than the

(14:48):
liberals of California. North Carolina has all but been abandoned
by the Biden administration. Remember, we are also all out
of FEMA money spent on illegals and Ukraine. Imagine the
billions will suddenly come up with for California that the
assessment from Mike Merle says, good morning, Scott. I do

(15:13):
enjoy listening every day while ubering twenty four thousand plus
rides just today. Nice job, Merle. All of the issues
we have in life come down to good or very
bad leadership, government, business, family. It boils down to one thing.
It's leadership. Everyone needs a step up, take responsibility and lead.

(15:36):
Thanks for letting me vent that is from Merle anytime, Merle,
you too. Scott atkfab dot com. Jillian Michaels, who was
on the biggest loser and a former guest on this program.
She made us like gluten free nut pancakes or something gross,
but she was a lot of fun. Jillian Michaels talked

(15:59):
on social media about losing her home in the twenty
eighteen fire and is using the opportunity now to further
criticize the leadership in California. Jillian Michael said, the mayor
is apparently in Ghana. The fire department's budget was apparently
cut by seventeen million dollars, and someone made the decision

(16:19):
to not refill some of the reservoirs. Now some fire
hydrants are dry. Leadership in California is beyond negligent. This
is completely unacceptable. California Governor Gavin Newsom issues a press
release admitting they knew about the insane fire risk this
past Sunday because he was propositioning fire engines, and yet

(16:42):
he just called in the National Guard. A few hours ago.
Pacific Palisades ran out of water at three am. I'm
so upset for the people of California, my family who stayed,
my lifelong friends who live there, are brave firefighters. This
is not a partisan issue. It's pure incompetence and miss prioritization.
That is the online rant from Gillian Michaels. Fox News

(17:05):
update in just a moment the latest on that in
Los Angeles, as well as the funeral service is going
on right now for former President Jimmy Carter. Get an
update from Fox. It's I keep looking at the screen.
I see Obama sitting here, and then Trump is kind
of right in front of him, and then over to
the right of Trump is Kamala Harrison. Then further down

(17:27):
the line President Biden. I know President Biden is delivering
the eulogy, and we'll make every effort to bring that
to you live here when it happens. I expect here
in probably the next twenty minutes here on news Radio
eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
And we've been talking about not just the fires in
Los Angeles, and here are some of the details we
get here. As of this morning, thankfully, the winds have
died down. Fires were been whipped around by winds from
seventy five to nearly one hundred miles per hour the
last few days. Now it's just a slight breeze of

(18:10):
only about twenty five miles per hour. That's still windy,
but it's not seventy five miles per hour. So police
fire and all the rescuers there are able to get
a better handle what's going on there. As these wildfires
continue to burn through Los Angeles County right now, the
last number I got here was five people dead, nearly
two thousand structures destroyed, Tens of thousands of people have

(18:34):
been evacuated. And as this is, you know, near the
Hollywood Hills area, there are some people pay maybe a
bit more attention to it because there are celebrities involved,
and also the potential for the iconic Hollywood Sign is
near the evacuation area and potentially at risk. But the

(18:59):
late assessment on that is the risk didn't seem to
be imminent, So I guess you can go up there.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I mean, it's surrounded by trees, but this isn't a
particular area where the wildfires are currently blowing and burning
and spreading. So as far as the celebrities, Billy Crystal
lost his home that he and his wife moved into
in nineteen seventy nine. That erased my kids here and

(19:29):
our grandkids over here. This is our home. It's amazing
to drop off here. And the list provided to me
by I don't know who the source is here the Athletic. No,
that was about the Oh the Rams, Los Angeles Rams

(19:49):
might not be able to host Monday night's playoff game.
They have a contingency plan. What would that be? Play
at someplace else? All right, good stuff? Thanks Now. This
story says fires have ripped through celebrity neighborhoods including Calabasas
and Santa Monica, the homes of Billy Crystal, and then
you have the celebrity drop off the homes of Billy Crystal,

(20:10):
Paris Hilton. Like, wow, that is I just got the
celebrity benz on that one.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
She lived in a house.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, she did some filming there, Billy Crystal, Paris Hilton.
Then we go to Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker, Mandy Moore
singer actress.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Mandy Moore could still afford house.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I think she's done pretty well for herself. And I
don't know, clothing or makeup or maybe something whatever. But
John Goodman, Carrie always our friend of the program, Carrie
always Princess Bride, Eugene.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
The people lost their homes completely.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yes, Eugene Levy, Diane Warren. Another past guest on this program,
songwriter Extraordinary Ricky Lake. And it's in the homes of
Tom Hanks Steven Spielberg are nearby, as well as Michael
Keaton's home. Like I said, Michael Keaton, if he needs

(21:09):
a place to crash, can sleep at my house. He
can sleep in my bad he can sleep with my wife.
I don't care. It's Michael Keaton, dude, whatever he needs.
I hope my wife's at work right now. Oh no,
it's Thursday. She's probably she's probably, she's probably like, that's fine,
I'll leave.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
He says it, totally fine.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Michael Keaton is a better actor with his eyebrows than
most any actor is with their whole person. In my lifetime,
love Michael.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Keaton because why I'm Batman.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, he resurrected that line in the stupid Flash
movie No they brought The only reason to watch that
movie is because they brought Michael Keaton back in an
alternate universe where he's Batman and they look at him
and go your He goes, yeah, I'm Batman.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Michael Keaton.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Now I have to watch it.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
But it's funny how the media, they'll go and talk
to these celebrities, and they've even shown celebrities like James Woods,
who was in tears. He was got emotional in talking
with the media about his home, and so a lot
of people in the media showed James Woods getting emotional
while talking about the loss of his home and the

(22:25):
neighborhood and potential loss of life. And he's talking about
how brave these firefighters are. It's amazing. They all cut
away when he said, yeah, the reason why this happened
is due to climate change in liberal idiotic policies from
people like LA's Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom.
He goes on ex Twitter and says, one doesn't understand

(22:47):
the first thing about fire management, talking about Gavin Newsom
and Karen Bass. One doesn't understand the first thing about
fire management, and the other can't fill the water reservoirs.
The media didn't have James Woods say any of that.
Fox did, but knowing at ABC, CBS, NBC, here's James
Woods and he's on there going, oh my house, he's

(23:09):
brave firefighters. And I'll tell you another thing that was
James Woods. You know, they cut away from that like
he's gonna go on a conservative rant. I don't know
if James Woods High School was still standing, but that's
a ways away.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
And cohu growe on, Oh, I almost missed that family guy, Hey,
did we miss when all of the people were seated
in the into the funeral seated? Yeah, you know, as
the as the dignitaries commem in. Did we miss that part?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I was talking about the firefighters right, Yeah, what do
you mean? Did I miss that part?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
We're waiting for the for the funeral?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, I said, the funerals going on? Funeral service is
going on?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
We did miss that part.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Now, I just mentioned a.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Few minutes ago you got Obama sitting kind of right
behind Trump's right shoulder.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
I don't listen to this show.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Trump is kind of right behind Kamala Harris's left shoulder,
and then down a couple you know, you got like.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
So we missed the part where they were getting seated?
Is that online? Spies?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
What are you driving at here?

Speaker 3 (24:14):
I want to see if the envelopes came out again?

Speaker 2 (24:18):
The envelopes.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yes, when Bush Senior died at his funeral, all the
envelopes that were left on the chairs for certain people.
I just want to see if there were envelopes. I
don't I want to know if there were envelopes.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'm gathering that I don't remember envelopes or envelopes. I
remember George W. Bush giving Michelle Obama a cough drop.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
You seriously don't remember that what was in the envelope?
All of when let's see the Clintons, the Obama's, I
leave the Biers. Yeah, they all received envelopes and they
opened them and they looked at them, and some of
them just put them away, and nobody knew what was
in the envelopes. But when George or when Jeb, when

(25:08):
Jeb opened his, oh, look it up. When Jeb opened his,
he turned and showed it to Laura, and he had
a look on his face like he's freaking out. You've
never looked.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
I know.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I'm the conspiracy theory, I know, but you have not
won at all.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
If you're going to talk about this, try saying something.
What are you suggesting nobody knows.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
What was on the envelopes or on the message.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Do you think what do you think was in the envelopes?

Speaker 1 (25:32):
You think at the funeral services with cameras and microphone everywhere.
You think that the the the Illuminati gave all these
guys their marching orders, like here are your envelopes.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
That's not what I said. I said they were given
envelopes and nobody knows what was on it. I did
not use the word illuminati, because you'll never hear me
use that word. And so I wanted to know if
the pattern consisted or was consistent in this funeral, this
state funeral.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
They all their phones all buzzed at the same time,
and they checked their phones at the same time. It
doesn't matter if it does or doesn't. You guys on
your weird social media followers, they're gonna run with that.
I don't I don't know what just happened.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm just appalled, appalled. I tell you that you have
never heard this conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'll tell you who's a Paul and missus Paul and
Billy Paul? Is that his name? Gout is saying, uh,
Missus Jones.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's Billy Bera.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
No, you're thinking of Billy Vera and the beaters who
sang out this moment?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
What did you think? All right? If you can.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Derail the conversation, I can. I can easily want up
you on that one. Oh, back to the wildfire. I
was going to go from let's see here humans. People
are like, hey, there's a wildfire over here. Yeah, there's
always wildfires in California, but this one's threatening the home

(27:03):
of Michael Keaton.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh do too. Well.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
More than humans, we've also got the animal situation. The
wildfire fueled chaos and Los Angeles extends not just to humans,
but also they're pets, that says, many of whom are
just left behind as residents evacuated with little time to spare.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Why.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I don't understand. I don't know if you I mean,
if you only have a second and you've got to
grab kids and get out.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Then you just open the door and tell the cat
or the doctor run. I mean, if it's a reptile,
that's fine.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Leave it. Hey lizards, Yeah, but you're right. You know.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I thought about that because my wife had a cat
before she had me, So I inherited a cat into
my life, and I thought, once in a while, because
every once in a while, my wife's like, hey, I'm
not going to make it home, and our cat has
an employment with the vet. Can you corral the cat
and take that? And I said, no, this cat's not

(28:04):
gonna let me anywhere near it. If it knows that,
I need to put it in a in a cage
and take it somewhere. So I thought, like, what would
happen if our house was on fire or if there
was a tornado? Because this actually happened a few times,
sirens go off and out of the basement. My wife's like,
I gotta go out and get our cat. I said, no,
you don't. That cat's fine.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
That cat. You're not gonna be able to get it.
It's under a bed somewhere.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're gonna be up there trying to get this howling,
little razor sharp clawed animal out from under the bed,
and the roof's gonna come off, and you're all gonna
be gone, and I'm gonna miss you as far as
the cat goes. If it's not smart enough to come
down here with the rest.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Of us, then you know that's on the cat.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
My cat's in a go bag all the time.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
You don't have your cat in a bag. Go bag
the go bag. But people are I guess, leaving and
leaving their animals there. The Humane Society in Pasadena has
received more than one hundred and eighty animals, okay, and
they're coordinating with more than three hundred different shelters animal
care groups because thousands more have been displaced. They've got

(29:15):
a pig, they got a pony.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
A pony, No, I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
They've taken in twenty dogs. This is this is one veterinarian,
twenty dogs, twenty cats, and a rabbit. Nope, just one rabbit.
I don't want that, because there's two rabbits. Pretty soon,
there'll be two hundred rabbits. Kids, ask your parents. So
they're trying to, you know, get like food and medication
and room for all of these animals.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
But the people that owned these animals, there have only
been five debt.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's yeah, it didn't mean I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
But with those people are still around, they may not
be able to hold onto them right now. They might
be in hotels or might be staying with friend, but
they're still there. They still exist. Yeah, So why can't
these animals go back to their owners?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, at some point they can, but the owners have
gotten on their private jets or whatever and they've gotten
out of there and they didn't take their pigs and
ponies with them.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Hmmm. I have a real problem with that.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Hey, if if it's my life, if.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
It's your life or your kid's life, yes I support
you having to leave an animal behind. I get it.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
But a lot of these people they didn't have a
lot of time, but they had.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
They had time to open a door and say, run
for your life.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
They had twenty minutes, see sometime.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Twenty minutes at least. Yeah, like I gotta get Yeah.
Probably if it's a lot of these celebrity and like
big business tycoons and some of these weirdos, they're like,
all right, first thing I have to do is destroy
any evidence it could be used against me when the
authorities come through and they find all of this. So
they got to do all this. They they got to
you know, destroy the hard drives and all the rest
of this story.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Fire would take all kinds.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yeah, but you gotta be sure. You gotta be sure.
A lot of lives have been ruined, a lot of
reputations completely destroyed because someone didn't take the extra effort
to wipe and destroy things.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Did you just hit on a new conspiracy thing as.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
To why the fire.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, the fire is going through there because some guy
clicked on the wrong websites like time to hold burn
the whole city down. No, I'm just saying it. You
got you got ten minutes to go through your house
get what you need, including any life in there. And
your first thought is, well, I got to destroy all
the all the bad stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Then no one knows that I do in here, because
I don't want someone to have to tell my mom
like here, these these are all the things we found
at your son's home. And she's looking through there, going
my my, what is all of this? You know it's
all freaked out, so you can't You got to deal
with all that. Then you got a corral any kids
or mistresses you have in there. And then then you

(31:57):
gotta like, where's the cat?

Speaker 3 (31:59):
If I have ten minutes to get out of the house,
I get all ten minutes to getting my precious memories
out or a go bag or clothes. How much time
do you have to do those things? Scott?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I tell you what I would do with ten minutes.
I'd spend nine minutes. He's going, honey, I don't you
told me to get the fire at the you know
the photo album? I don't know where that is. Well,
it's down there next to the kids.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Social Security cards and the birth certificates and their little
baby booties and all that the precious stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I don't know where any of that is.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Everyone should have a go bag.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Meanwhile, I've got two golf club you know, set to
golf clubs and bags, one on each shoulder. He's like,
make sure grabbed the photo album. I don't know where
the photo albums are.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Keep copies of photos not in an album, because that's
too heavy to carry when you have nothing but your
feet to get you.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
I'm such an idiot. I'd have our digital picture frame here.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
They are like, no, the actual phot host. Make sure
and grab our wedding album.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
I was there, I remember.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
I'll tell people about it. It'd be a lot shorter
in your story. I don't know what i'd do. I
don't know what i'd do if I.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Had just got to have a go bag so you
don't have to worry about it.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Like yeah, but then if you can't have everything in
a go bag, otherwise you wouldn't have it out, So
you can.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
If you have, If you have a safe and a
go bag, you put everything you need to you have
to have. If you have ten minutes to get out,
then the only thing you have to do is open
the safe, grab the bag. You're out. Don't keep your
cat in there though, if you're putting it.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
No, I don't keep the cat in there the go bag.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I just put the cat into her box. When the
weather starts getting bad.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Say go back again, go bag, Scott Bodes, you'll know it.
