Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to another episode of Diamonds and Rough
Speaker 1: with Teddy and.
Speaker 2: Eric.
Speaker 1: Are you like emphasis on the.
Speaker 2: Rough, emphasis on the rough?
Speaker 3: It's been rough, you know here in Los Angeles as
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you're I'm on one side of town,
Speaker 3: you're on the other side of town.
Speaker 2: But Teddy, what the is going on?
Speaker 1: What the hell?
Speaker 4: I have a question? At yesterday at like six pm?
Speaker 4: Did you get an evacuation notice?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: It made the mistake? Yes, whoever?
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I know that things happened, but the
Speaker 3: entire county that was the evacuation noticed. I was like,
Speaker 3: what is this entire Los Angeles County going?
Speaker 1: I was like, uh, armageddon? What are like? Okay?
Speaker 4: But then I started texting people and I'm like, did
Speaker 4: you get this too, like people that lived far from me,
Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, yeah, we all got it. And
Speaker 4: then like ten minutes later, Katla did a press conference
Speaker 4: and we're like, oh, it's not human driven.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh we have.
Speaker 3: They did a press conference and said it's not human driven,
Speaker 3: which makes it a little frightening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's human driven for me that I'm checking
Speaker 4: my address every ten minutes, and also the amount of
Speaker 4: people that we.
Speaker 2: Know personally lost everything.
Speaker 1: Lost everything.
Speaker 4: And also something that I was talking about with Edwin
Speaker 4: earlier is like, where are people going to live now?
Speaker 3: I thought the exact same thing. And I also think
Speaker 3: that this forever changes the Los Angeles landscape. I mean,
Speaker 3: these people are going to have to do you know
Speaker 3: how long it takes to pull a permit to rebuild,
Speaker 3: to do anything in the city of Los Angeles. And
Speaker 3: where are these people going? Where these people's children going
Speaker 3: to school? Where it's utter devastation.
Speaker 1: It's utter devastation.
Speaker 4: And you realize that I don't know if it was
Speaker 4: six months ago or when it was, but they canceled
Speaker 4: everybody's fire insurance.
Speaker 3: Of course they did. I know someone in my family
Speaker 3: who is that happened to. Yes, they canceled everybody's fire insurance.
Speaker 3: What is the state going to do?
Speaker 2: Like? What is happening here?
Speaker 3: This is I mean, in my opinion, I believe that
Speaker 3: this leads to massive economic impact. Yeah, political change, you know,
Speaker 3: all of this kind of stuff, insurance, you know, the
Speaker 3: insurance companies, Like this is I think that we're going
Speaker 3: to get a new mayor, We're going to get a
Speaker 3: whole new lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be so much.
Speaker 4: And I think it's also I mean, the unknown for
Speaker 4: an adult like me is hard, but imagine the unknown
Speaker 4: as a child, Like there are so many kids that
Speaker 4: like live in that area that was burned down, and
Speaker 4: then there's school burned down right behind them. Like imagine
Speaker 4: like the long term effects of that.
Speaker 3: Well and the PTSD of it all that's not going
Speaker 3: to even I had a friend come over last night
Speaker 3: to get some dog food. It's just randomly his home. Uh,
Speaker 3: the inside of his home in Palisades is perfect, but
Speaker 3: the outside is so bizarre, completely destroyed. All of his
Speaker 3: neighbors completely destroyed somehow another his the interior of his
Speaker 3: play state.
Speaker 2: But he seems so you know, we know when people
Speaker 2: are in shock. Yeah, it's going to be fine.
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, okay, it's these people have a long
Speaker 3: way to go. And I just would like to point out,
Speaker 3: not that I'm not being insensitive, but how are we
Speaker 3: going to pull this back together?
Speaker 2: Like how are these people going to go on?
Speaker 3: And and what does this mean for the rest of
Speaker 3: Los Angeles? Like this has massive impact and yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean we have multiple like I have friends staying here.
Speaker 4: I have multiple pets, like of other people because like
Speaker 4: people are evacuating and there's nowhere to go, or people
Speaker 4: won't let pets and all this different stuff. And it's it's,
Speaker 4: you know, every day you wait for the schools to
Speaker 4: get canceled. Not that I would probably even send my
Speaker 4: kids to school at this point, but like it's all
Speaker 4: of it's just really scary. And watching animals run down
Speaker 4: the street, Yeah, that was.
Speaker 3: That's always sad to watch. I mean, just everybody, every
Speaker 3: living thing is displaced.
Speaker 1: Did you see the horse that like ran back to get.
Speaker 2: Its friends the other horses?
Speaker 4: I know, I was like, Teddy, get off your phone
Speaker 4: and stop looking at this at two in the morning
Speaker 4: when you can't sleep.
Speaker 3: No, And it was just I thought of you actually,
Speaker 3: because you're you know, that's your specialty horses. And I thought,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, this horse went back for his friends.
Speaker 3: Did you see the mountain lion with her cubs, Yes,
Speaker 3: well it's here, that was, you know, Or the dog
Speaker 3: that randomly ran up to the firefighter. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just you know, and to see I don't know, you know,
Speaker 3: there are times in life when there are no answers.
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, there are answers, but something like this
Speaker 3: is just catastrophic.
Speaker 4: And there's nothing you can to change it. And I
Speaker 4: have to say, and not to bring this into a
Speaker 4: housewife world, but the last time there was big fires
Speaker 4: like this when we we were in Provence.
Speaker 3: I was thinking the exact same thing the last time that,
Speaker 3: like people lost their homes that we knew we were
Speaker 3: in France, we were on our way.
Speaker 1: Difference, and so we didn't.
Speaker 4: I have to say, this feels completely different beyond like
Speaker 4: we because we were in our own little like dub
Speaker 4: world of like all right, now there's five of us
Speaker 4: and we got to figure this shit out and we
Speaker 4: got to keep it moving. And so I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't know that I've lived, like there's been fires,
Speaker 4: there's been small fires here, but like to this level.
Speaker 4: And then now people getting arrested for arson.
Speaker 2: Well that's just I mean, that's despicable.
Speaker 3: But you have the Palisades, you had the Eton fire
Speaker 3: which tore out at Altadena into Pasadena.
Speaker 4: So onun, I have a question, how come I didn't
Speaker 4: know Altadena was Pasadena?
Speaker 1: And then how close is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's they're they're neighbors.
Speaker 1: How close is that to your old house.
Speaker 3: I think that one of the streets over from one
Speaker 3: of the main streets was under evacuation orders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I texted my friend Robin, who lived
Speaker 4: kind of close to you, and she like sent me
Speaker 4: a video from her backyard and she's like, we're watching
Speaker 4: a movie right now, but like look back here and
Speaker 4: you could just see fire everywhere.
Speaker 2: Orange.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When I lived there many years ago, there was a
Speaker 3: fire that broke out. It was like the mountains behind
Speaker 3: and it was so fast. So I can't even imagine
Speaker 3: this fire being closer.
Speaker 4: But I have a question the difference between Altadena or
Speaker 4: Pasadena versus like the Palisades or Malibu or Santa Monica
Speaker 4: or any of those things.
Speaker 1: You can get out of Pasadena, right of course.
Speaker 3: The thing with it on the beach is though, or
Speaker 3: you know, the PCCh is one way and one way
Speaker 3: out you can you can, Yes, there are ways out,
Speaker 3: But when that fire is raging, you know, where do
Speaker 3: these people go? Where do they resettle? Where do all
Speaker 3: of these people that have lost their homes? Where did
Speaker 3: they go? If I was thinking that a lot of
Speaker 3: people would leave Los Angeles because it's easier to start
Speaker 3: over somewhere else, and a lot of people don't want
Speaker 3: to live anywhere else too. I mean, it's fifty fifty,
Speaker 3: but people have to put their kids in school.
Speaker 4: And you don't just get into any school here. It's
Speaker 4: it's a trying and tedious process.
Speaker 2: It's really too much. Yeah, I think it's best in college.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4: But we encourage our listeners to help those affected by
Speaker 4: the fire and support the firefighters battling these fires. KCRW

Speaker 5: little light, to find a little light or a little distraction.
