Hello, and welcome to the bachelor podcast. I'm Kay York City, and I am Jared Freed. It is so good to be back here with UK finale. We've done it another season in the books. Wow. How do you feel? You made it through a hurricane and an earthquake every every one of Mother Nature's obstacles that could be thrown at you. How are you? You okay? What's the sea? Give us the

your live reporter from the scene? What's going on in the LA? Well, from my perspective, because I do not want to downplay it at all, like there has been a lot of shit going down, a lot of damage, but from where I was in Santa Monica, all I had, all we had was some rain throughout the day. Yeah. Which it rained for like five months straight at one point. Right.

And then in the middle of it, there was an earthquake, which was outrageous. And I. How big would it feel like what do you. I'm not an I don't know from earthquake. So what did I felt one in my life and was the one in New York City, like years ago.

Oh, I didn't know there was one in New York. Yeah, it was a long time ago. I mean, I remember I was in my apartment with my brother. He was sleeping on my couch and we were like, what was that? You know, but what did it feel like? It was a big.

No, this one wasn't this one wasn't that big, but there hasn't every time I've had an earthquake since I've been here, which has only been a few times. They've all been in the middle of the night. And then this was like midday. I want to say like one 30 in the afternoon.

Me and Chelsea, my roommate, we're just sitting on the couch and we're like, Oh my God, and everything started shaking. And you could.

Like the mirrors on the walls. Oh my god. And it only lasted like, you know, six seconds, but it's a very six seconds. Yeah.

So and then the next day, because it was supposed to be like, all right, you have Sunday. It was supposed to be really intense. But then Monday was allegedly going to be worse. And you know, we have the news.

You have to hunker down. Make sure you get all your food. Whole foods was like destroyed.

Arawan. They had to. Arawan looked like, you know, look like the end of the world. I'm sure. Yeah. All these women in Lululemon yoga pants just in line to get their last smoothie.

Right.

They're last 40 dollars. I'm just sitting on my couch, you know, eating my Trader Joe's snacks and nothing. It literally was sunny and beautiful yesterday.

Not a drop of rain. I went out of walk. It was gorgeous. It's the easiest thing in the world to be like, that was it. And it's like, OK, there's a, you know, nothing is ever as big as it seems. Nothing's ever as small as it seems.

It's always somewhere in the middle. And as a New Englander, as a person from boss, the Massachusetts, the state of Massachusetts, I'm very familiar with the, you know, the fear casting where they have to make sure that you're prepared for the worst because, you know, you don't want people stuck in a bad position. But then also it doesn't add up to expectations. People talk about a storm as if it's like a movie that disappointed like that was it. Oh, you guys all got afraid. It's like,

what are we supposed to do? You know, like, I do understand that.

I mean, it was there was definitely a lot of rain that first day, for sure. But the craziest part was the earthquake coming with it. Right.

It's like everything just, it's just, I just imagine like God on a cloud throwing, you know, lightning bolts down at the earth directly at LA, like it just kind of.

All the news from there was like, there's a storm coming in an earthquake happening. It must have been, you know, that's not it's scary. No matter what. Yeah, that was, that was really, I have to say that was really bizarre, especially because we weren't expecting it.

Is the bar is your bar on Venice Beach. Okay.

It was closed that day, but apparently it's fine. It's okay. We're good. I mean, what's it called?

The waterfront Venice. The waterfront Venice Beach. Thank God.

K's, K's embassy is fine. Don't worry listeners. The waterfront and Venice Beach is a okay.
