Hey, you guys, welcome to a straight up yap session. There is so much happening in the world

and I feel like I want to talk about all of it. I have thoughts on all of it and it's too much for

Instagram stories. And these are the moments where you go, I have a podcast and you put out an

extra episode. So grab something good to drink. I bet the weather is crap where you are.

And let's just, we're just going to chit-chat.

We're going to yap.

And I'm sure some of this I'm going to end up breaking down in my stories.

And then we have more context, right?

This is just the long version.

So, let's do this.

Obviously, I think at the forefront of most of our minds is watching these fires in California unfold and just knowing we're watching history happen.

And it's horrific sometimes.

Sometimes it is golden and shiny and beautiful and exciting.

And other times it is just marked by grief and loss and confusion and anger and just the worst parts of humanity.

People have questions as they should.

Same as people in Florida and North Carolina and all along the East Coast have the same questions. I don't know. It feels like when that side of the country did it, they were conspiracy theorists. When we were saying,

hey, FEMA's not here and they should be. People, just everyday neighbors are doing everything.

Where is the government?

You guys were like, they're there, there. I can remember getting straight up DMs. FEMA's there.

What are you talking about? Okay. Well, a lot, like a lot of people who live in that area are saying that there you haven't seen FEMA anywhere.

You're telling me that one of the most powerful governments in the world that has spent billions of dollars protecting other people's countries from war doesn't have the ability to mobilize so that however many millions of their citizens were impacted by something they had no control over,

they know where you are and that your resources are available no matter where they live.
