Summary

Adam returns from his evacuation to Vegas with an update on the status of his condo and the surrounding structures on California’s Pacific Coast Highway. He also discusses some clips that have gone viral in the wake of the wildfires, including one of a black, female, firefighter discussing the need for diversity in the LAFD and another of LA’s water chief explaining why everything at the Dept. of Water & Power is done with “an equity lens.” Next, Adam recounts going through the process to become a firefighter and the one test that undid his application. He also discusses how the destruction in Los Angeles may streamline regulations when it comes to rebuilding the city, a Palisades woman ambushing Governor Newsom, and Hunter Biden losing his Malibu rental house. Then, Dawson joins to read the news including stories about Gov. Newsom issuing an executive order to suspend regulations for rebuilds, the LA fire chief saying the city failed residents in wildfire prep, and Mark Zuckerberg telling Joe Rogan that Biden officials would scream and curse when seeking removal of Facebook content.

1:19.1	Oh, my.
1:29.7	So last we spoke, I was coming to you from my hotel room in Burbank, California, and then I was slated to do a couple of shows over Kimmel's Club in Las Vegas. So we decided to leave a day early and just head down out there and stay out in

1:46.2	So they are not letting us or others back to our neighborhood in Malibu.
1:55.4	It took a while, but sometime, maybe the following day after we spoke last, I was able to glean that the
