The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 2: Los Angeles Wildfires (feat. David Wallace-Wells)

Wed, 08 Jan 2025

Description

What is the best movie weapon of all time and why is it obviously the lightsaber? With the rumors of the New York Jets interviewing Rex Ryan for their head coaching job, Dan wonders how long it will be before the NFL decides it’s been long enough for Jon Gruden to get back into the game despite all he’s done wrong. Then, as the wildfires rage on in Los Angeles, David Wallace-Wells joins the show to discuss the increasing severity of wildfires all over the world as a result of rapidly accelerating climate change. While that's happening, Amin tries to calm himself with a meditation in a modified victory lap over Will Manso.

Chapter 1: What is the best movie weapon of all time?

2347.043 - 2358.187 Jeremy

Dan, you cannot shake me outside of my energy zone. I'm meditating right now, thinking about Will Manso and the apology he owed me.

2358.208 - 2374.274 David Samson

It appears you punished all of us. You're supposed to be winded. The other guy's long-winded. I'm going to let both of you go now because you're not doing the show I want to do. Thank you for being on with us. I appreciate both of you. David Wallace-Wells, any last words? And I mean that literally.

2375.592 - 2379.778 David Samson

Don't look away from the damage. See it, see it clearly, and try to take action.

2380.239 - 2386.207 Billy

Thank you, David. I appreciate it. How do you feel about Dan's treatment of you, David? Just be honest for a second.

2387.049 - 2391.996 David Samson

I'm proud to be ranked number two behind Bill Walton on any ranking. I mean, what can I say?

2392.296 - 2405.589 David Samson

David, your information is great. It's just I'm perpetually wrestling with how much people don't want to hear it, even though it's burning right in their face. Like, I can't even imagine. Sturgatz wanted to ask you whether we have any hope.

2405.79 - 2413.737 David Samson

I don't know how it is you don't feel hopeless as someone who has more information on this than any of us have and know that people aren't paying enough attention to this.

2414.358 - 2431.362 David Samson

Well, when I see that only two people died in these fires, I mean, it's horrifying and tragic that those are two deaths. But we've seen fires like this over the last few years that killed dozens. And so I think we are learning something about how to evacuate seriously to take the threat at the local level. We're not doing enough to prevent the fires from happening in the first place.

2431.762 - 2444.269 David Samson

But maybe we are adjusting to that new reality in a way that will allow us, tragic as it is, horrifying as it is, to see this as a manageable future. full of fire threat, but also a lot of human resilience.
