And a lot of people were able to save their homes. I've been seeing a lot of really cool videos of people with their hoses, with the pumps saving their homes. But sometimes too much fire comes through and there's just it's just not something that you can stay through. So it got to a point where I'm there. It's like.

literally like a blizzard of like murder hornets that are on fire just like stinging me oh man and uh i and there's i can't breathe um i'm suffocating so i just basically sprinted to my car oh that's so scary did you incur any injuries at all while fighting these fires No, no injuries, luckily.

Was she also there? So, yeah, so we were up at her place. We basically just, like, watered it down. We were just kind of, like, spraying all the hedges and, like, the roof and everything and just making sure it was all soaking wet. Then if a fire came, it would, like, an ember lands on it. It just goes out right away. Sure.

And when the fire came over the hill, it got too close and she just didn't feel safe. So I just drove her over to my place really quick and then came back. And the cops almost didn't let me in. I had to fight two cops. I got in a screaming argument with two cops to get back in. And one of them chased me back up to the house. And eventually it was just like, dude, you're fucking crazy.

And just left. And... Basically, yeah, that's what happened.

She got some stuff out, but pretty much lost everything. And it was a really special cottage that she was renting. And she kind of has this really epic fairy vibe, creative. And it was just such a special place to chill. And it was her dream home that she'd been seeing, driving in and out of Malibu for years. And then just kind of happened to end up being able to rent it. And...

She'd only been there since April. So it's just like super devastating. So she's really sad. Just been trying to like stay positive and kind of look to the future and avoid looking in the rear view mirror and just see all the opportunities going forward and like all the cool travel possibilities and like trying to just kind of like see like the like blue ocean ahead.

It's super crazy here. So the challenge with Malibu is there's so many regulatory agencies that make it almost impossible to rebuild your home. So there's many homes that haven't even been able to be rebuilt since Woolsey Fire. So especially these houses on the beach, are especially difficult to build.
