WEBVTT - Inside the LA Fires and How to Help

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, welcome to I've never said this before with me,

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Tommy di Dario. I have been thinking so much about

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>everyone out in LA and being here in New York,

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>which feels like a world away. It's so hard to

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>figure out how we can even help. But I brought

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>my dear friend Jennifer of Viewett onto the Elvis Da

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Ran Show, and I wanted to share that conversation with

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you today. So take a listen and find out how

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>you can help that beautiful community. I'm sending so much

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>love to everybody out in LA.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're like me, and maybe you

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>are somewhat. You just cannot stop watching the news. You

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>cannot stop watching about what's going on in Los Angeles

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>right now. And there's so many moving parts to this story.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've got people, you've got lives, you've got animals,

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you've got property, you've got one of those naturally beautiful

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>parts of our country up in flames right now. And

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to not be there is both a blessing and also

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 2>there's this this I don't know about you, guys. Do

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 2>you have this desire like not just not be there

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 2>to help, but do anything you can to help, yes,

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>of course, sorry without being in the way, of course.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>So our little brother Tommy de Dario, is he on

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.400

<v Speaker 2>We do our best to ras you and insult you

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and make you feel lesser, lesser of human being. Today,

<v Speaker 2>today we're gonna actually be nice for a chance, so

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:32.959

<v Speaker 1>I love you, guys. I'm here. I'm here and any

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of any day of the week that I can

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>be abused by y'all, I love but I'm happy to

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>take a break.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, very good. So it was. It wasn't long ago.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 2>On Tommy's Incredibly Cool podcast he had Jennifer Love Hewitt

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>on as a guest, and, uh, you were like floating

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on a cloud, right, I mean you you? That was

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that was what they called in the business. I get

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you loved having.

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>A right, Oh my god. And I told her when

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed her, she was someone I've always wanted to

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to. I've always admired, admired her work so much,

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And we had this amazing conversation at the beginning of

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>December and we've literally talked every day since. Like my

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>husband Geo's best he's with her, like we're all just

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>so tight and we formed this beautiful friendship.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, I need to get her on the line and

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>warn her about the bad evil side of your by.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 3>We'll do that later, you know. Jennifer Love Hewitt was.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 2>On our show many many years ago for many great reasons,

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's been so many years since then, and I'm glad,

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>even though it's because of this opportunity, which is not

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the most positive opportunities, because of this opportunity, we have

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 2>her back. Please welcome to the show, Tommy's gay crush

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and and someone that we're so excited to have on

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the show, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Jennifer. How are you doing?

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 4>Good money for a laugh? I needed it, I know,

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>In it weird after you go through and you were

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>going through something as as awful and dreadful as what's

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>going on in Los Angeles, the first time you laugh,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>it kind of scares you a little bit.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:06.119
<v Speaker 3>You're like, am I allowed to laugh?

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I know. Really weird, But it's a good feeling.

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 4>It's a good feeling.

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank both you and Tommy for waking up in

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the night to come on with us.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you in anyway. How are you? How are your friends?

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>How are your family? How are you doing?

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Just overall? How you doing?

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 4>If you know? It changes every couple of minutes. If

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm being honest, I think it kind of the day

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 4>is weird. It's like you, Yeah, I'm a mom of three,

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 4>so I have to try to be okay as much

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 4>as possible because my kids are watching and they kind

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 4>of take on, you know, where I'm at. So I'm

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 4>trying to, you know, still be silly and present and

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 4>all of that stuff. On the flip side, I'm heartbroken

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>and panic and you know all of the other things.

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 4>I think that watching it feels unbelievable. It feels like

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 4>it's been six months and it's only been a few days.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 4>And it's yeah, it's just sort of a it's just

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 4>sort of an ever changing feeling. But we're here. I'm

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 4>with my family, and we are as safe as we

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 4>can be. We've really missed our little community, our friends,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, have checked in on us. A thousand times

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 4>as we're checking in on them. And I think the

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 4>interesting thing is that we've all had a totally different

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 4>experience in the same situation, which has been kind of

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 4>wild as well, but everybody's checking in on each other

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 4>and taking care of each other as best they can.

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 4>So it's been nice in that way.

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 5>I feel like that's the one thing that you take

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 5>away from this. You know, obviously it's horrific, but the

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 5>fact that everybody does come together and help each other

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 5>and is there for it's like, it's just amazing to

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 5>watch that aspect.

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we talked about that last night with our kids.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 4>We were like, listen, this is something that you take

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 4>away from this situation. Always check on your friends, Always

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 4>see how they're doing, not just like in extreme circumstances,

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 4>but be there for people, hope where you can in

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 4>your community, be good hearted, you know, look out for

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 4>each other, that kind of stuff, because I do think,

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, we tend to do it more in these

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 4>situations and we should just be doing it all the time.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 4>And so it's it's a good lesson, I think, especially

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 4>my kids are really young, so it's been a good

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 4>lesson for them. I think. Hopefully just for their lifetime.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know what it's like to be

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>a parent. I have Schnauzers. That's as deep as I get.

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 3>But but no, I would never like it.

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>But but you know, it's you do everything you can

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to protect your children because you don't want innocence to

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>be lost. At the same time, we're still kids in

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>a way, we're still we're losing our innocence every day

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>when these things happen, no matter how old you are.

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 2>And so God bless you and all the parents out

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 2>there who and look everyone for getting through this. Just

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>it's one step at a time, right, you know, Gandhi,

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>what do you think?

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 3>What do you have a question for?

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 6>Jennif love youeck I do so you said you're as

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 6>safe as you can be. And we've been reading about

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 6>how these winds are about to pick up and get

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 6>stronger today as a day goes on, What is the

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 6>best thing for people to do because you're literally in

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 6>this area where any area could nite ignite again. Should

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 6>people get out? Are people being told to stay because

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 6>you need volunteers on the ground, but you also don't

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 6>want all the extras around. Is there any sort of

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 6>directive about that.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I would say for us, the second

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 4>we were told to get out, we got out because

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 4>the truth is, you can't do anything about the fire

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 4>part of it. You have to leave room for you know,

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 4>first responders to be able to do what they need

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 4>to do to save what they can the winds they hear.

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 4>There's such a strange feeling of like just palpable anxiety

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 4>this morning. I think for everyone I have talked to,

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 4>like seven or eight different moms. None of us slept

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 4>last night. It was all been watching the news and

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 4>we're just kind of like what is going to be next?

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 4>Where is it going to go? You know? And also

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 4>like especially for the palisades and eaten and everything, it's

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 4>just embers right now, like sitting there. So if the

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 4>wind gus go too crazy, what happened? Like you know,

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 4>do those nimbers come up and ignite again? Like what

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 4>is what is the situation? So yeah, I would say,

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 4>if you know, if you're in one of those areas

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 4>and they're saying highlands, I would gather what you can

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 4>and I would get out and I would watch it

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 4>all from somewhere safe because that is most important, and

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, just do what you can. We got out

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 4>very quickly. I wasted no time. I think most of

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 4>my friends, including my husband, probably thought I was a

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 4>little bananas because he was like, wait, they just said it,

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>but like right, and we're out. So, you know, we

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 4>got out very quickly. But I'm glad that we did

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 4>because traffic was crazy. It took us, you know, over

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 4>an hour to even get out of our area, to

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 4>go like two blocks and that was within literally twenty

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 4>minutes of them asking people to leave. So yeah, I

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 4>would just say, don't wait, get your importance and you

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 4>send it out.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>If you're just turning us on, Jennifer, love you it

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>is here. Of course, Tommy Dedaria brought us what brought

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>her to us this morning, and he's on the line

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 2>in Denver.

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's waking up for us. I feel so powerful.

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>This is crazy your I mean powerful, Oh my gosh,

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I just don't even know how powerful. Line, Tommy, have

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>you been speaking with with Jennifer? You said, almost on

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis, What is something that you've picked up

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>from her that maybe she maybe she's not talking about

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 2>something that that is something important for us to know

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>about her experience in the condition she's in.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think that no two people have the

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>same experience when you're going through something so devastating, right,

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think the sensitivity is so important. Some people

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 1>lost homes, some do not. Some won't be able to

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>get into homes for years and years and years. Some

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe do have a second home that burned down,

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>but that was their main family home. Like, everybody has

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a different experience. So I think the sensitivity is so

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>important with anybody who is going through this period, no

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>matter you know, what walk of life you come from

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>or who you are, lost is loss, you know. I

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>have One of my dear friends is Rachel Ray. Her

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>home burned down upstate a few years ago, and she

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>lost the most personal things to her, like letters that

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>her mother wrote her who's no longer here, and that's irreplaceable.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So whatever the optics might seem like from the outside,

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>trust me, you don't know what's going on, and just

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>be there for people. Just be of a listening ear,

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>be a hug you can give. You know that the

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>judgments I think are just something that can exist for anybody.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think what's so cool about Jennifer. She's going

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>through so much, but she's someone who's been there for

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>everyon buddy in her life as well. So if you

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>can make a little room, just a little bit of

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>room for people, even when you're going through something tough,

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that ends up helping you and healing you

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 4>All I have to say, I have to say Tommy

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 4>and Gier have had me and my family one hundred

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 4>percent of the time since this has happened. Like literally,

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 4>they are they are maybe my newest friends. That they

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 4>are the most loving and most kind and have held

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 4>me and my kids in such strength and goodness. It's

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 4>just honestly been so touching. It means so much to us.

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 4>So there's most.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>People ever we called we called them the Tommy and

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Geo Show. We love them every chance.

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Again.

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I know it's a it's a show. It's never ending,

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's it's got high ratings of my house.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, so so, Jennifer, there's more to it than what

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about here. You're actually doing more.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 3>And I was.

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I went to uh b f S, b f f

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>S andbabes dot com and we're gonna we're gonna post

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.319
<v Speaker 2>this at Elvis Duran show and Instagram. You have come

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 2>up with an incredible Love Angelus collection talk about that

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and about how one of the proceeds are going to people.

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:09.679
<v Speaker 3>Who need it.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So again, I've just been sitting and watching all

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 4>of this, and I often in my life when I'm hurting,

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 4>try to figure out a way to turn that into

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 4>something active, because it just is. It just doesn't serve

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 4>us to sit in all of that heaviness. And so

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 4>this company, BFF and Babes, they have been so lovely

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 4>to me and my family for the last few years,

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 4>and I've posted for them, They've posted for me and

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 4>whatever it was. And so I was sitting up in

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 4>the middle of the night and I was like, oh

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 4>my gosh, Like I just love Los Angeles so much.

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 4>It's like I just want to do something to help them.

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 4>And so I was like, oh my gosh, instead of

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles, maybe it could be Love Angelis because it's

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 4>my middle name, but it's also what I want to

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.079
<v Speaker 4>give out to the city and all of that. So I,

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, DMed her and said, listen, I have this idea.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 4>Can we do this? And she was like, one hundred percent,

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 4>let's do this. You you find you know who we

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 4>want to like help and sort of send this out

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 4>to and I'll send you the designs. In two hours,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 4>she sent me the designs. I was floored. I absolutely

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 4>love them. And here in La and everywhere really, there's

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 4>this organization called Baby to Baby and they do this

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 4>incredible stuff. They're national nonprofit and they support children affected

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 4>by devastating fires. They distribute one point five million emergency

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 4>supplies diapers, food, formula, water, everything. They're just incredible, like

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 4>critical items that children and families need. So I reached

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.079
<v Speaker 4>out to them and I said, listen, can we send

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent of the proceeds sold to you guys?

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 4>And they were, you know, very happy about that and

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 4>said sure, And so we put the whole thing together

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 4>literally in like two hours, and so far we've been

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 4>able to sell a lot, but we just want to

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 4>keep going and get them as much as possible because

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 4>there's so many people affective and it just seems to

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 4>keep going that I think we still have a long

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 4>way to go, but I'm really excited about it. And yeah,

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 4>just hope that people will will know that that's a

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 4>little piece of something they can do to sort of

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 4>help people here in La.

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay again, it's b ffsandbabes dot com and we're

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>going to have it up on Elvis Durand's show Social

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram in any minute now.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>So Danielle here, who was with us years ago when

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>we interviewed you for many different reasons, does she know

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 2>that you've her song was the first song you played

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 2>at your wedding.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes, she knows that. I don't know if you remember,

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 5>but years ago you actually were here hanging out with us,

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 5>and you made me a nice little clip to play

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 5>at the wedding, and No Ordinary Love was our wedding song.

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I'm so honored. Thank you.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 3>And they're still married. They're still married. They're still married.

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 2>And I will tell you, one of the first people

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in line on our show to hop onto bff s

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 2>and babes dot com and by merch was Danielle.

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 5>I already bought mine. I'm all good. I can't wait.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, thank you so much, thank you.

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I know that it's hard to live in living in

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. No matter where in the area you are,

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you want to stay watching that news and even though

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>they recycle the same stories over and over and it

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 2>becomes a lot to deal with what the TV cameras

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>are showing us across the country. Is it accurate? What

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>are we not seeing on these on these reports from

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the networks?

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think what you're not seeing is how many,

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 4>like Tommy said, how many different sides to the story

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 4>there are? You know, I think you're seeing the images

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 4>and the drone shots and the helicopter shots of you know,

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 4>everything burning down or burnt down. I think you know

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 4>you're seeing you're seeing some of the bravery of these

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 4>first responders. It's so weird for me that I play

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 4>a first responder on the show that I'm on, and

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, we talk about these things and we do

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 4>these sake fires and everything is unreal when it becomes

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 4>a very real situation. These firefighters are working so hard,

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like a lot of the stories that

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 4>are happening are either you know, political, or about like

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 4>what the city's doing and what the city's not doing,

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 4>and you know, all of that stuff, and I get

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 4>all of that and that has to be out there,

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 4>but truly, these these firefighters have not stopped trying to

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 4>save people's homes and experiences and memories, and they're working

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 4>so hard, and so I just hope that people know

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 4>that even if they're losing, they're they're trying, you know,

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 4>and they're working really hard. And also I think that

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, there are people that have lost everything. There

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 4>are also people you know, whose homes are still standing

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 4>but literally can't get there and won't get there for

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 4>very very or our damage beyond repair inside because of

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 4>toxicity and you know, all the stuff in the air

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 4>and everything, and that their house will have to be

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 4>knocked down and rebuilt. And there's just so many stories

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 4>that I don't feel like they can tell them all.

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 4>But it is a city of people who are really

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 4>supporting each other and and care about each other and

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 4>are looking out for each other, and there is a

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 4>there is a beautiful spirit amongst all the level right

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 4>now that is it's very moving. It's hard to be talkbooks.

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 4>It's just very moving. It's really they're they're just I mean,

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 4>I have hugged more strangers that have hugged me in

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 4>the last you know, four days, and it's everything. It

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 4>just means so much, and so I just hope that

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 4>people know that there's a really beautiful part of what's

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 4>happening here. That maybe they don't get the chance to

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 4>tell in quick clips on the news that is really inspiring.

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 4>And I hope will cherry passed all at some point.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Well you will.

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>It's easy for me to sit here and say that,

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>but no, you will. It's going to take time and

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>lessons learned. You know, every time something devastating happens, there

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 2>are lessons in the story and.

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>You don't see them immediately, and you shouldn't.

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Now is not the time to learn the lessons, and

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 2>now this is the time to take action and help people.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Right Like we've been talking about the Los Angeles Fire

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Department Foundation making sure that they're taking care of there's

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 2>a whole list of a million people that are doing

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 2>teams that need our help. And Jennifer love Hewett so

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 2>great having you here.

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I know that. I'm sure. Well, I bet you've had

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot of alerts on your phone.

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>You've never known a phone to have so many alerts

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>in it until something like this happens.

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like it's like, shut up, just shut up. They're

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 3>all very important.

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.919
<v Speaker 2>And Tommy, the fact that that you brought Jennifer to

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 2>us today, we do appreciate that. And I will be

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 2>nice to you for exactly two weeks.

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna miss you, You're gonna you're gonna miss the torture,

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna miss it.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 2>But is there any Jennifer, is there anything in closing

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>that maybe we didn't cover that you want to say

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 2>or other than what we talked about.

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.359

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 4>I do hope that people, you know, besides just us,

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.760

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 4>you can purchase if you're not in LA, to support

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.640
