Like a lot of you, I was moved by the passing of film director David Lynch this past January. Much more than I thought I would be, to be honest. A lot of it had to do with the timing. He was such a part of Los Angeles. He made movies set here. He did a daily weather report. He talked at length about how much he loved the light, the feeling of Old Hollywood, the smell of night-blooming jasmine, and he left as the city was on literally burning down around us. On top of that, we were four days away from a new president who is the embodiment of everything Lynch is not. It was like Dale Cooper died four days before Bob become President. Everywhere you turned on the news there was another scumbag asshole winning the lottery, and just when things could not get worse, reality said, “Wait! I got one more!” While struggling to fight the fires, with thousands of people in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena losing everything the city was now mourning its coolest resident. And if you don't live here I really cannot understate what a presence he is. There is a rotating sculpture of his head in head in Santa Monica. People gathered at the Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake where he used to go for coffee and a chocolate shake every day at 2:00 PM. The gathered at Jumbo's Clown Room, the Hollywood Boulevard strip club where he, as legend has it, he wrote Blue Velvet. Every sidewalk sandwich board in town bore a chalk drawing of his iconic quiff. So, as I began the next podcast, I figured I would dedicate the True Tales From Weirdsville segment to Mr. Lynch. But it quickly became apparent that it was way too much story for just one segment and it eventually stretched over three episodes.  And so, for your listening pleasure, we stitched ‘em together, and here they are. Enjoy. https://www.DanaGould.com

TL;DR Better out than in. Be bold. Tell people you love them while you still can. No regrets.

"Wo ich bin, ist die deutsche Kultur", das war das Credo von Thomas Mann. Vor den Nationalsozialisten ins amerikanische Exil ausgewichen, sah er eine Zukunft für Deutschland nur in der Rettung humanistischer Werte und kultureller Traditionen. Seine Villa im kalifornischen Pacific Palisades wurde zum Rettungsbüro für Verfolgte und Verfemte. Vor 150 Jahren wurde Thomas Mann in der Hansestadt Lübeck geboren, der er mit den "Buddenbrooks" ein literarisches Denkmal setzte. Frank Dietschreit hat den Roman, der den Weltruhm des Autors begründete, noch einmal aus dem Regal gezogen.

Please welcome to our show my friend, Jake Steinfeld, founder of Body By Jake, the phenom fitness lifestyle routine that's changed bodies from flabby to fit worldwide. But that's just part of his story. Jake is also a successful entrepreneur and he'll be talking about a new product that he's launching. He is also an established actor, and is one of my all-time favorite movies (think Eddie Murphy). In a town rumored to be transactional, he's anything but, having been married for decades to my beautiful friend, with whom he shares four children. Jake is a family guy, and often referred to as the “Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades,” and yes his home, and just about everything in it, burned to the ground in the January fires. But perhaps it's his resilience that I most admire, always looking ahead, creating new business opportunities, remaining positive, and focusing on rebuilding. And I thought, there's a lot we can learn from Jake Steinfeld about how to keep going even when the world seems to be going up in smoke, and he joins us to talk about his life, career, family, and incredibly positive attitude that he lives by. And there's more...we'll ask him about any possible political ambitions we're hearing about, too. Please join me in welcoming Jake Steinfeld on all video and audio podcast platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Frank Larkin's commitment to America is remarkable. A former Navy SEAL, he served in the Secret Service, at the Pentagon and as sergeant-at-arms of the U.S. Senate. However, as correspondent Scott Pelley reports, Larkin's most significant contribution may be what he's done since his son, Ryan, took his own life. Ryan was, like his father, a decorated Navy SEAL, and his death by suicide was attributed to depression. But Frank Larkin did not accept this explanation, and when pathologists discovered Ryan suffered from scarring in his brain, likely due to repeated low-level blast exposure, this father campaigned for a change in how Special Operations and the rest of the military train and protect their service members. When wildfires tore through the Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods of Los Angeles this winter, 9 billion pounds of toxic ash and debris were left behind. Now, a massive cleanup effort is underway to clear the 13,000 properties destroyed in the fire. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi goes behind the scenes with the Environmental Protection Agency as it completes the first step: removing the hazardous waste. The rest of the debris is in the hands of the Army Corps of Engineers. Despite expedited cleanup efforts, some residents say they still don't feel safe returning home. Bill Whitaker reports from the chaotic and high-speed racetrack of “America's original extreme sport” - Indian Relay. As horse nation tribes unite for an exciting and dangerous bareback horse race, Whitaker looks at how the sport continues to grow and offer new opportunities of pride to the next generation of Native American youth.

We get into his new book, The One Day Method, and why focusing on one great day at a time can be an absolute game-changer, especially when life throws you a curveball.   This is a real conversation about overcoming, recommitting to what matters, and learning how to see the gift, even in pain.

A part of Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu and Pacific Palisades was closed due to mudslides from Saturday's showers. The highway was closed in a section from Carbon Beach Terrace to Coastline Drive, according to the LA County Sheriff's Department.

My audience was still somewhere in February, but it wouldn't stay there long. I had too many things to do— actual, adult things which required my attention. I might not be looking just at one lawsuit, but three; harassment and stalking against the neighbor girl, Negligence on behalf of the property management, and nuscience on behalf of the city— these weren't things I wanted to do— but they were things that were happening. I had basically been tortured inside of my apartment for the better half of two years and now was looking even more desperately to move. But where? Maybe, at this point, anywhere. I had applied for two other apartments but hadn't heard back. It was Saturday afternoon by the time I woke up again, because when I went to bed it was Saturday morning. After a mix tape and a few miles walk around Queens, I returned to the apartment that I loathed; never in nearly two years had I felt home, and now was no different. I sat in the bathtub for awhile knowing the next apartment might not have one; I looked at a place with stand up showers— it was a studio and almost nothing would fit in there but some of my books and my musical equipment, but I didn't care. More space, apparently for me— meant more shit. The more I excersised and ran around, the more likely I was to pick random things up that I wanted or needed. Sometimes new things— sometimes brand new with tags, which, besides the very cool Google swagger I had just been gifted, was the condition for picking up random stuff in New York. In two years I had filled an apartment with things I hadn't purchased, which sometimes used to linger with energies that were odd or foreign. I was too sensitive for New York— and I shouldn't be there. But really, I had no other alternatives. Stil I had found no certain purpose in being in the city, especially not on the bustling corner or noise, which I found remarkably, by walking just a mile east into queens, was a festering loud thoroughfare surrounded by actually clean and quiet neighborhoods with almost no cars, and no people at all. Hidden little places that looked like Queens— but being honest I didn't know. I got lost on purpose. When I returned I was unable to focus the rest of my energy into anything but a mix, which went well enough that I had decided at around the 27 minute mark to just pull the mix at 35– the limit for recordings entered into the contest I so hoped would rescue me into an employed citezin. All of my bills were overdue, and I had no real intention or way of paying them— how can I pay money I don't have. Some of the companies were predatory— an internet service provider I had ordered upon moving to the building that I had cancelled after realizing that there was always an “outage”, promising lower rates than of course were on the bill once it came— and bills for everything else from this to that, and the return of my student loans. ‘Haha' I thought. ‘Jokes on you.' But it wasn't a joke. If anyone or anything was trying to kill me, it was the corporate world, and unfortunately I didn't just squeeze into one of their conformed and comfortable little boxes. I worked long hard hours on my music and my projects— on my writing. I just wasn't getting paid. I didn't see myself at fault for being naturally creative and prone to the trauma that made me feel as if the world owed me something for having endured it rather than I owing it. How could I really owe anything to anyone? Have you met my parents? Someone besides God saw me take a beating from the ex, and in my humble opinion yhet kid—my only witness— might as well have had a high enough throne to have been a king himself by now. ‘I got guardian angels. I'll be alright.' My dreams in the early hours of Saturday morning were weird, but not weird enough that I wanted to share with my audience. In fact, in days, I hadn't felt like saying much of anything. More mixes would have to suffice for the long peloton rides, which meant they had to be an hour— but first, I had to make sure the last one would fit for the contest, I wasn't like the other entrants, I was sure of it, but I could at least play the part— I had taken some savings I'd stashed and all of the money in my comedy wallet to deposit instead of having cash on hand— this might be better, I thought. I hadn't been running, and effectively so my life was kind of crumbling. Then, the noise had been making me a certain kind of sick— and there was only one solution I had yet to really try. I always felt horrible going out in New York— because I was poor. In New York, even thr poor people made it an obsession to look rich, or Hoodrich, which I always found foolish— but after two years of being shamed for wearing ragged gettups and jogging suits everywhere— not fashionable jogging suits, but sauna suits to encourage more sweating to battle the toxic forces of the city itself— I had learned that when it came to at least trying to market onesself— one's art and one's project's one must at least look acceptable to the kinds of people worth interesting or inspiring. These were not the people on my block, but otherwise elsewhere. After two years in, I needed to go out. But first was a digital monster to tame— removing five years of work from the internet had so far not been a daily expenditure, but had taken weeks, almost as if the simulation and the algorithm were fighting me with slow internet and distractions in order to maintain the world that I had come from— but fuck that. I just as well wanted to set the world on fire just as much as everything in it— and it might have been that as I cleaned up for just to happened to be record of severe torture— homelessness, chaos, shifting from place to place, never having a steady home and then finally to have a roof over my head but to battle hundreds of motorcycles circling what was supposed to be my home alerted me to a deeper problem— the fact was, though healthy and fit as I had forced myself to become, there was always something fighting me. Now instead of homelessness itself or the jealous or mentally unstable roommates I had faced in the years before moving into the apartment, it was hundreds of men on motorcycles who didn't just like to ride them, but liked to ride them loudly, right across the street from my apartment where I was expected to make everything I had written, everything I had planned, and all the work I had done come to life— this wasn't just noise I could ignore. Of course, it was the vibrational pain that caused more damage to the nerves itself. This noise caused actual pain. It's hard to spend two years in pain after spending 30 years in pain. My body, my psyche, and my spirit was tired. I had left my mother's antics for an equally as humiliating sort of abuse— perhaps because that's the kind of “love” I was used to. But it wasn't— now I was healthy and almost somewhat independent. Somewhat. There were still miles to run, and battles to conquer; only I didn't want to. Asking the city to compensate me for sending me into an apartment adjacent from 5 garages felt unsafe— but it made me wonder why anybody else hadn't done what I was about it. I obviously had waited this long just expecting for it to stop— but it hadn't; so I began to see the noise as more of a blessing than a curse. Perhaps by making these reports, I was doing somebody a favor; at the very least karmically I expected the favor to be returned. And here yet, bills that hadn't technically existed appeared out of nowhere and I had no means of paying them. I had no real job or steady income and the money I did make was almost always to ensure that my hygienic needs were met: another reason I felt I didn't belong in New York. I didn't understand filling trees with trash. I didn't understand littering— after once being scolded for it as a young person, this was behavior that I had stopped; but here was a city full of apparently grown people that didn't know any better! Fuck that! Now being awake this long my dreams didn't really seem to matter— only my problems. I needed to find another apartment, and fast— in a neighborhood that wasn't plagued with the same issues. But here was the conundrum— how was I going to afford to live in a clean and quiet neighborhood. I knew they existed, but as far as I had been told when I first arrived to New York, it simply was less likely allowed. I loved Manhattan. I had been told explicitly by several people. ‘That's not for us.' But why was I us? In other and more bizzare news, the not suprise realization that it was once again Saturday came to me in a dream. Lorne Micheals liked my sketch, whatever that meant— and it wasn't too bizzare to have seen either Tina Fey or Amy Poehler or even Jimmy Fallon amongst them; they were long gone from Saturday night, but this was my cast. Besides, even in this odd dream that felt surreal and out of place, they were no longer on the show— but scouting for it. I had been scouted; Lorne Liked my sketch, but it came with a speech. It was strange, and though provoking— something about my father running out of time. Must have been my subconscious on the lookout for the way to visit the family, but I was stretched so thin trying to make anything work that nothing did. I went paying for promotions— but business cards, monthly website subscriptions, bills, and the ever growing cost of soap just kept piling up. Then, when I had finally realized I was down to nothing but one bra and socks with holes in them, springing for spandex running wear and sport protein seemed like the move; oh, and vitamins. I had been extra increasingly tired, and though for the most part the motor speedway just beyond my window was to blame, Speaking of motor speedway, it was oddly quiet for 3:00 PM on a Saturday… Then again, the property management was asking me to pay a bill that hadn't existed until— you guessed it— my birthday— and was now threatening eviction upon receipt of the notice. The first notice came close enough to May that it made me wonder why it had been placed on the roster on my birthday in March, and I was just now hearing about it on a Friday afternoon at closing time with the threat that I would be removed from my apartment— a threat I cared almost nothing about due to the persistent motorcycles and cars buzzing around for a year— but now, suddenly they were gone. Usually Saturdays were the worst days of all of them, and suddenly, they weren't circling at all; maybe it had been a set up all along, or even the devil itself; now the devil didn't have to torture me with the sounds of unhappy men with little to no power besides that of the horsepower beneath them so much so that it had become the world's problem to endure such pain as by the hundreds of them pouring out every day over the last two years— now the property management wanted to threaten eviction, but in the technical sense they were wrong; on paper, and otherwise, however, I wasn't going to fight to stay in an apartment I hated! Again, I saw what might have been some kind of evil demonic curse as a blessing instead and looked upon the hundreds of recordings over the last five years. Recordings I had made sleeping in my car, in hostels, in a tent in the Pacific Palisades— recordings I had made in homeless shelters and sleeping in 24-hour gym saunas. Recordings i had shared with the world and now was taking down, because somehow, it felt as if the world liked me better homeless— as if my constant struggle and trauma and suffering was just a source of entertainment for some; political fuel for others to use against me in the skewed perception that I was preaching or on some kind of side. But I was on no kind of side— I was on my side, and the only solace I really had was that God was also on my side, because whatever had been the motorcycles, and the mind games, and the property management's oversight had been the devil. Whatever had been the slamming doors and the lack of peace and the inability to make music in a space that was supposed to be mine— whatever was going against my good, was evil. I didn't want to see it at that, but in some of the wreckage I had lost my shine— in the fight I had somehow been stripped of my power, my will to live, my right to be human. The peace and sanity of having a place to call home— I hadn't had that. I had, however, a voice and random assortments of instruments. I had writings and comedy speeches and monologues— I had mixtapes and albums, and the creative drive of an artistic genius. I just didn't have money— and in New York, that somehow made me the enemy.

Michael Wara is a lawyer and an expert in wildfire policy who says that solutions are out there, but face financial, political, and cultural resistance. What's needed, he says, are “whole-of-society” approaches that raise wildfire risk to the community level. In this regard, the devastation in Los Angeles in 2025 could provide the spark needed for smarter communication, better policies, and renewed urgency on wildfires, Wara tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In January, a merciless firestorm swept through the Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas of Los Angeles, becoming the most destructive wildfire in the city's history. Driven by hurricane-force Santa Ana winds and fueled by record-dry conditions, the Palisades Fire destroyed over 6,800 structures, burned nearly 24,000 acres, and dramatically altered the lives of thousands of residents. Among them were three individuals with deep ties to the legal tech community, each of whom lost their home to the fire. This week on LawNext, we speak with those three individuals:  Valerie Chan, founder of the legal PR firm Platform PR.  Rick Merrill, former founder of Gavalytics and current COO of Bridgeline Solutions. Adam Camras, co-founder of Lawgical, longtime CEO of the Legal Talk Network, and chief collaboration officer at InfoTrack. These three legal tech leaders share their harrowing experiences as the flames approached, the devastating aftermath of losing their homes, and their ongoing journey of recovery and rebuilding. Their stories offer a rare and intimate glimpse into how even those with resources and professional expertise face overwhelming challenges when confronted with natural disaster. From the initial evacuation decisions to battles with insurance companies and uncertain rebuilding timelines, this conversation reveals both the practical realities and profound emotional impact of sudden, catastrophic loss. We also want to mention a related project, California Fires Legal Resources, in which the legal tech community, spearheaded by Clio, worked together to launch a website devoted to providing legal resources related to the LA fires, both for victims of the fires and legal professionals working on behalf of those victims.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

The Pacific Palisades fire burned more than 6,800 structures, both homes and businesses. Clearly, the rebuilding process is going to take a while for many families even if insurance covers the losses. What should not take a long time are permits for people who lost everything to get started. Indeed, Mayor Karen Bass vowed to streamline the process and made a big show when the first permit was issued.

MLB season is here baby! Kennedy kicked it off by going to the MLB opening game where she (very happily) watched the Yankees spank the Brewers. Today, her and FOX Across America's Jimmy Failla discuss this season's latest controversy: torpedo bats — and whether they're making the game more efficient, competitive or just plain sketchy. Kennedy also shares how her Pacific Palisades home tragically gave her contractor led poisoning, and why she's excited for Mom's Weekend at her daughter's college (now that her daughter is a sophomore and not embarrassed to be seen with a parent on campus.)

Kennedy took a trip to Los Angeles this weekend to visit her home in the Pacific Palisades. Though she shares her gratitude that her house was one of few that miraculously survived the wildfires, Kennedy recaps what her last few days were like going through belongings and keepsakes that have been tarnished or completely ruined. Despite the destruction, the Palisades community continues coming together to rebuild. Kennedy and Jimmy look at the big picture following the California wildfires, and why the disaster likely has many California residents (and beyond) questioning who they would want in both state and federal leadership if their communities were to experience a similar crisis in the future.

Shulz Museum in Santa Rosa, and it was a big hit! There's something for everyone there, and Matteo certainly had a blast and even found a way to get on the stage and capture everyone's attention! Brie's also given Nikki a new side job, Hawk Patrol. Anytime Nikki is at Brie's house, she has to patrol the yard for hawks who might be out to abduct one of Brie's chickens.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, as time goes by more and more information comes out about the wildfires in California and what these ideologues have done to the State. It turns out a key reservoir was empty when the Pacific Palisades fire started. Gov Gavin Newsom also cut the fire budget by $100 million last year while giving more water to tiny tribal fish. Newsom isn't Presidential material, he's not even Gubernatorial material. Where did the trillions of dollars go from the Inflation Reduction Act, which caused massive inflation? What was it used for? There needs to be a full criminal investigation into what happened to the Inflation Reduction Act money and a criminal investigation into what happened in California. Also, Supreme Court Justices, John Robert and Amy Coney Barrett have caused significant damage to our constitutional system, particularly concerning the supremacy clause. The supremacy clause was intended to address situations where State judges and local prosecutors use federal law against the intended purpose. President Trump is now left with appealing in the NY appellate system. If he wins, this ruling would be specific to NY only and would leave other states to act as Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan did. Learn more about your ad choices.
