0:00.0	Hey everybody, we're getting through, aren't we? That's what we're doing. One foot in front of the other,
0:05.8	2025 is looking like it might be a real doozy. And we are in it with you and we're here for you and with you.
0:15.7	Recently, our show was selected by Apple as one of their 10 shows we love.
0:22.5	And they called it a comforting support system for braving the every day.
0:26.7	And that is what we hope.
0:29.6	We hope that we can help you brave the every day.
0:33.2	That's what you help us do.
0:35.0	And so on Sundays, we are publishing an episode for you, one of our
0:42.6	favorite episodes of the past four years that we've selected to be a comforting support system

1:54.0	And we are reporting to you from outside of Los Angeles in a place where I live and Abby lives that is pretty
2:04.8	much sheltered from the fires, but close. So the town that I live in has become all we've done
2:14.7	all day, every day is watch and listen and field texts and calls from every friend we have, many of whom have lost their homes, many of whom don't know where to go.
2:28.4	The outskirts of L.A. towns are filled with people like us who have been just trying to welcome people that need a place to
2:36.2	stay. The streets are full of cars of people we don't know. The homes are open. There's a lot of
2:42.8	beauty and there's a lot of terror. So my dear friend Jessica Yellen is sitting with me right now.
