Foreign.
Hello and welcome to Forever 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves.
I'm Dory Shafrier.
And I'm Elise Hu.
And we are two friends who usually like to talk a lot about serums, but probably not today.
Yeah, it's like a weird day, LA is burning and we're just like processing everything that's happening.
We got a text, Elise, from a listener who said, I just heard Elise on NPR reporting on the LA fires and burst into tears at work.
We had to evacuate my sister in law and her cat last night from Pasadena.
So thankful that we are okay so far.
Still.
WTF 2025 Elise and Dory, please stay safe.
O yeah, but yes, so, so stay safe to our listeners too that are in the area.
I am usually not reporting for npr, but I am at large for them.
And so I come back every once in a while and usually to host.
But because this is such a banana story and such a big deal, I really wanted to pitch in and am sort of relieved I've been able to sort of keep busy in that way, you know, and sort of like do something.
We're recording this on Thursday.
I hope that, that those fires are contained, but like, yikes.
Yeah, yeah.
And then Dory, you had a scare on Wednesday night with the fresh fire that popped up, you know, near the Sunset Strip.
So just for these major wildfires to be in such densely populated urban areas is what I think is really difficult for all of us here and all of the folks in the world who are watching to wrap their heads around because, yeah, California is no stranger to wildfires.
