Chapter 1: What are the current wildfires in Los Angeles?
Hey. By the way, for everyone that doesn't know, the fires were crazy and I was wondering if this place was going to be here today. Yeah.
Yeah, no, the fires are – this is unlike anything that's ever happened.
Chapter 2: What should you pack in a go bag?
It's always the thing that people – It's the biggest wildfire ever in Los Angeles, ever.
Yeah, ever in Los Angeles. They've already passed an estimated 51 billion, which is going to grow by exponential amounts. Wow. The neighborhood that I left when I last lived in Los Angeles is completely gone. The house that I lived in. That house is gone. The house is gone. The school that Ellis went to is gone. It was a very walkable neighborhood.
Chapter 3: How do kids' sports affect parenting?
All my neighbors, like I checked in with old friends, all their houses are gone. And also all the places that we would frequent, you know, like we would go to the CVS. CVS is gone. Gelson's is gone. Ralph's is gone. The gas station's gone. The Starbucks is gone. Like it's all gone. It's like, it's hard to comprehend, like, and to imagine that it's all gone.
Chapter 4: What gifts are appropriate for family?
As of now, unless it's changed, I couldn't believe that the Palisades village was all intact. And I was like, how is that possible? And I guess it's because, Maybe the buildings, the structures are all stone, you know, like concrete and stone.
Chapter 5: How does fashion reflect cultural identity?
That's the one thing, my one takeaway is why don't we make houses out of chimneys? Because everyone's chimney is still standing.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Hollywood writing?
I know. I mean, it's all cost relevant. The thing that I already was thinking of, because two things are definitely going to happen. One, I was like, all the scumbag pieces of shit that will scam people in some way out of this, you're like, I can't wait until the...
Chapter 7: How do wildfires change real estate dynamics?
the Dateline special that'll come out about how they're going to just prey on people, which is so horrible, but also how industries always come out of disaster. So I was thinking, because you go Malibu and the Palisades are two of the most sought-after industries in Los Angeles. They're fantastic.
Chapter 8: What are the personal stories related to the fires?
I'm so glad you're saying this because, you know, sometimes, Tom, I think, I want you to finish what you're saying, but I think I have horrible thoughts. I don't have horrible thoughts like I'm so glad they killed that CEO horrible thought, but I do have crazy thoughts. But keep talking about this because I've been struggling with how I feel about things.
Well, I just know what ends up happening is an industry will come out of a disaster of this magnitude. So some version of this will happen. We'll be like, okay, first of all, you're going to have a lot of people leave. A lot of people are going to leave these places. They're going to be like, I don't want to live here anymore.
10,000 houses in the Palisades are gone.
So what's going to happen is they're going to move to Austin. All those people are going to end up moving to Austin because they're going to go to Austin or they're going to go to Nashville or Denver or whatever.
That's going to do so good for Kill Tony.
okay all right then you're gonna have this thing where it's like okay i want to rebuild i want to i want to live again in the palisades or i want to live again in malibu beachfront malibu stuff and you know people are going really like yeah i want to do it so then what will happen is first of all i think the value of this actual property has to go down. So you'll go, oh, I can get in for less.
And then what's gonna happen is they're gonna go, okay, what are you gonna spend on this house, right? And let's just say you're like, I'm willing to spend, you know, $5 million on a house to be there. They're going to be like, cool. So you're going to do about $3 million of what you thought you were going to spend on your home. And then $2 million are going to be in fire retardant buildings.
products and builds. And so that industry will explode. You know, you're going to have, I think it'll be, first of all, I think they're going to pass laws where it'll be illegal to have bushes and trees, anything like that in these areas. It'll just be like, yeah, we don't do that anymore. There is no such thing as landscapes. It'll be like rocks.
It's just going to be like rocks and things that look nice, but that aren't actually brush. And then I think homes there are going to be like concrete homes and stone homes. It's like, it's the logical thing. And they're going to this industry of like the, there's that spray that some places have, have done before that I assume is very expensive.
