Celebrity realtor Josh Altman reports that many residents of the Pacific Palisades are choosing to sell their land rather than rebuild, fearing a long recovery process. Markets in nearby Brentwood and Santa Monica are expected to see price increases as displaced families seek normalcy. Concerns are raised that standard insurance policies will not cover the full cost of rebuilding to modern standards in the high-end California market.

The hosts celebrate the 950th episode of the podcast by reading a major donation from Janet from Brentwood. Janet contributed $727.50 in honor of her birthday and her son's recommendation of the show. She receives a "de-douching" ceremony and requests several sound bites, including "resist we much."

The hosts read a list of donations from Associate Executive Producers across the United States, Canada, and the UK. They note an increase in female donors and thank the audience for providing the financial "fiber" necessary to maintain an independent news diet.
