People in L.A. are obviously very acutely aware of the fire risk. It's not new, particularly in the Malibu Palisades area. But I think to just have that visually manifest itself so immediately, um, the dryness combined with the unusualness of the winds.

And, and, and that was, I mean, we always get these Santa Ana winds, but this is, I don't know if I could say like once in a decade or whatnot, but the strength of them, the eroticism of them, that was the craziest part guys. Like on, on Tuesday, by the way, I flew by the fire and it literally looked like Mordor, like Lord of the Rings or something, but, um, it, which was just surreal, but,

I think what the craziest part was on Tuesday, seeing the fires burning and growing at this amazing rate, watching the local news and hearing them say, we can't fight this right now because we can't put helicopters in the sky because of these winds was just stunning.

Because I think with, you know, natural disasters or any kind of events like that, we're so used to authority figures just being able to fight them. But we were talking about something, these winds that nobody has any control over. And it was just absolutely heartbreaking to see that.

Yeah, it's been a really fun month, I guess, until now for me, both at ESPN and doing some project outside of ESPN. The Simpsons game that we got to call was one of the more fun experiences of my life as a longtime Simpsons fan. Working on Christmas was pretty surreal. And now we're in the playoffs. Like I said, I was in Newark. I was on the East Coast.

The coolest thing probably was doing the Simpsons game because as part of that experience, I got to know the Simpsons showrunner and one of their writers. And we were going back and forth all up to the game with just jokes and references. And that was just such a cool experience for me personally. But doing the Netflix game, it was a ton of fun.

You know, it was really unusual in that you're working with a bunch of people you've never worked with before. And I think it was... It made me realize, oh, wow, doing NFL Live now for five years with the same crew, you don't get that many opportunities like that in television these days where there's so much.

People always talk about the chemistry, but beyond that, just kind of that inbuilt trust and comfort and working with each other, knowing when people are going to talk and whatnot. So it was a novel experience with me to kind of be, I guess, you know, confident. I feel bad comparing it to like an all-star game because that implies that I'm an all-star.

I don't want to make that implication, but it was, it was really like, okay, we're teammates now.
