Hey, it's Brian and I grew up in Sonoma, California and still have a lot of friends up there.

I know we've had a lot of tragedies all around our country recently.

This one literally hits close to home for me.

A lot of my friends have lost everything, people that I've known for fucking most of my life.

And the whole region is really fucked.

And just anything you can do to help, I'm looking at ways I can help.

I'm going to give to Red Cross.

I've done that a lot lately.

It'll be the third time in the last two months.

But I'm going to give to them and I'm working on, you know, stick around here.

I hope to announce soon a benefit that I'm going to try to arrange.

At the point while I'm recording this, they're still in the middle of it.

I mean, it's Wednesday and they're expecting more fires through this weekend.

And it's not like anything.

I mean, I grew up with fires in our hills up there, but never has been this bad.

It's never been on the valley floor.

And my grammar school got hit.

I went to Dumbar Elementary.

It was hit on Monday.

They lost a lot there.

There's wineries that, you know, a dairy that I grew up with, all these things.

The place where my mom worked, Sonoma Developmental Center, had to be evacuated.
