  Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to another episode of Diamonds and Rough
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with Teddy and.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Eric.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Are you like emphasis on the.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Rough, emphasis on the rough?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: It's been rough, you know here in Los Angeles as
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you're I'm on one side of town,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: you're on the other side of town.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But Teddy, what the is going on?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: What the hell?
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: I have a question? At yesterday at like six pm?
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Did you get an evacuation notice?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It made the mistake? Yes, whoever?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I know that things happened, but the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: entire county that was the evacuation noticed. I was like,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: what is this entire Los Angeles County going?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, uh, armageddon? What are like? Okay?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: But then I started texting people and I'm like, did
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: you get this too, like people that lived far from me,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, yeah, we all got it. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: then like ten minutes later, Katla did a press conference
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: and we're like, oh, it's not human driven.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh we have.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: They did a press conference and said it's not human driven,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: which makes it a little frightening.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's human driven for me that I'm checking
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: my address every ten minutes, and also the amount of
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: people that we.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Know personally lost everything.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Lost everything.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: And also something that I was talking about with Edwin
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: earlier is like, where are people going to live now?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I thought the exact same thing. And I also think
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: that this forever changes the Los Angeles landscape. I mean,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: these people are going to have to do you know
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: how long it takes to pull a permit to rebuild,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to do anything in the city of Los Angeles. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: where are these people going? Where these people's children going
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to school? Where it's utter devastation.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It's utter devastation.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: And you realize that I don't know if it was
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: six months ago or when it was, but they canceled
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: everybody's fire insurance.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Of course they did. I know someone in my family
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: who is that happened to. Yes, they canceled everybody's fire insurance.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: What is the state going to do?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Like? What is happening here?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: This is I mean, in my opinion, I believe that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: this leads to massive economic impact. Yeah, political change, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: all of this kind of stuff, insurance, you know, the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: insurance companies, Like this is I think that we're going
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: to get a new mayor, We're going to get a
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: whole new lot of stuff.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I think there's going to be so much.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And I think it's also I mean, the unknown for
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: an adult like me is hard, but imagine the unknown
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: as a child, Like there are so many kids that
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: like live in that area that was burned down, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: then there's school burned down right behind them. Like imagine
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: like the long term effects of that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Well and the PTSD of it all that's not going
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to even I had a friend come over last night
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to get some dog food. It's just randomly his home. Uh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the inside of his home in Palisades is perfect, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the outside is so bizarre, completely destroyed. All of his
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: neighbors completely destroyed somehow another his the interior of his
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: play state.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But he seems so you know, we know when people
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: are in shock. Yeah, it's going to be fine.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, okay, it's these people have a long
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: way to go. And I just would like to point out,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: not that I'm not being insensitive, but how are we
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: going to pull this back together?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Like how are these people going to go on?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And and what does this mean for the rest of
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles? Like this has massive impact and yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean we have multiple like I have friends staying here.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I have multiple pets, like of other people because like
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: people are evacuating and there's nowhere to go, or people
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: won't let pets and all this different stuff. And it's it's,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you know, every day you wait for the schools to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: get canceled. Not that I would probably even send my
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: kids to school at this point, but like it's all
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: of it's just really scary. And watching animals run down
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: the street, Yeah, that was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: That's always sad to watch. I mean, just everybody, every
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: living thing is displaced.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Did you see the horse that like ran back to get.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Its friends the other horses?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I know, I was like, Teddy, get off your phone
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and stop looking at this at two in the morning
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: when you can't sleep.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: No, And it was just I thought of you actually,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: because you're you know, that's your specialty horses. And I thought,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, this horse went back for his friends.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Did you see the mountain lion with her cubs, Yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: well it's here, that was, you know, Or the dog
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: that randomly ran up to the firefighter. I mean, it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: just you know, and to see I don't know, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: there are times in life when there are no answers.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, yes, there are answers, but something like this
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: is just catastrophic.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: And there's nothing you can to change it. And I
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: have to say, and not to bring this into a
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: housewife world, but the last time there was big fires
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: like this when we we were in Provence.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I was thinking the exact same thing the last time that,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: like people lost their homes that we knew we were
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: in France, we were on our way.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Difference, and so we didn't.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I have to say, this feels completely different beyond like
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: we because we were in our own little like dub
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: world of like all right, now there's five of us
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and we got to figure this shit out and we
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: got to keep it moving. And so I was like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know that I've lived, like there's been fires,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: there's been small fires here, but like to this level.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: And then now people getting arrested for arson.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Well that's just I mean, that's despicable.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: But you have the Palisades, you had the Eton fire
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: which tore out at Altadena into Pasadena.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: So onun, I have a question, how come I didn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: know Altadena was Pasadena?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And then how close is that?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's they're they're neighbors.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: How close is that to your old house.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I think that one of the streets over from one
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: of the main streets was under evacuation orders.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I texted my friend Robin, who lived
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: kind of close to you, and she like sent me
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: a video from her backyard and she's like, we're watching
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: a movie right now, but like look back here and
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: you could just see fire everywhere.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Orange.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: When I lived there many years ago, there was a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: fire that broke out. It was like the mountains behind
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and it was so fast. So I can't even imagine
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: this fire being closer.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: But I have a question the difference between Altadena or
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Pasadena versus like the Palisades or Malibu or Santa Monica
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: or any of those things.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You can get out of Pasadena, right of course.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: The thing with it on the beach is though, or
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: you know, the PCCh is one way and one way
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: out you can you can, Yes, there are ways out,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But when that fire is raging, you know, where do
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: these people go? Where do they resettle? Where do all
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: of these people that have lost their homes? Where did
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: they go? If I was thinking that a lot of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: people would leave Los Angeles because it's easier to start
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: over somewhere else, and a lot of people don't want
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to live anywhere else too. I mean, it's fifty fifty,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: but people have to put their kids in school.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And you don't just get into any school here. It's
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: it's a trying and tedious process.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's really too much. Yeah, I think it's best in college.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: But we encourage our listeners to help those affected by
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the fire and support the firefighters battling these fires. KCRW
