Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi. I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We wanted to do something that highlighted our.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Relationship and what it's like to be siblings. We are
a sibling railvalry. No, no sibling rival. Don't do that
with your mouth.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Revelry. That's good. Oliver Rutledge Hudson here reporting live. It's
not live at all, but it's a new season of
sibling revelry. We're gonna have some new surprises. It's gonna
(00:52):
be fun.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But I wanted to do something because I'm always talking shit.
I'm always ranting. I'm always ranting. I'm always sort of pontificating.
And when I say always, I mean either to myself
in my head or sometimes in my car out loud,
(01:16):
like I will just sometimes talk to myself in my
car no one is there, radio is off, and I'm
sort of getting it out verbally audibly, and I think
maybe that helps me, in some strange way sort of
(01:37):
get shit off of my chest. So it's a bit
of a rant, I guess, and today, for the first
sort of rant, or for the first whatever we're gonna
call it, I kind of want to change the word
rant in anyway. Yeah, so I haven't talked about the
(02:01):
LA fires now, I know, you know, people probably have
fire fatigue. And that's the world that we grow up
in right now, you know, this is where I grew up.
And the devastation is so extreme that what you see
on TV is not even touching, not even touching what
(02:23):
it feels like to be there in person. It is
truly a war zone, and it is it's going to
take a lot of fucking time in to clean this
up and to deal with the repercussions of what happened.
An entire community is gone, the community that I grew
up in, you know, and luckily our house has made it.
(02:48):
You know, my parents lived a little closer, my sister
lived a little closer than I did, but we were
right on the edge and we made it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
My brother, Boston, Boston's house didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And you know, it's very, very sad. But the amount
of people that I know who's who are homeless right now,
it's it's it's astronomical.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And now, of course we're dealing with air quality and
everything else that comes along with this, and for us,
it's been uh, it's I'm just there's a resiliency, I think.
But going back to this community, I mean, like, you know,
again it when I say it's gone, it's fucking gone.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is gone, gone, gone.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And I know it's very wealthy, it's a wealthy community,
but that should not have any that should not minimize
this in any way, and sometimes I feel like it has.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You know, you see some comments.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
About oh, well they're rich and this and that, and
that's so fucked up in my opinion. You know, no
one deserves anything like this, obviously, and there are so
many families that are displaced that are not fucking rich.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
The Palisades is a community that's been around for a
long long time. And it's not just you know, mega mansions.
There are houses in there, probably more than not more.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Than the new constructions.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Their house has been there for generations and people have
lived in the Palisades who aren't extremely wealthy because they
have been it's been passed down to them. So, you know,
and I hear all that shit. It makes me makes
me upset because it's we're human beings at the end
of the day, you know. That being said, it's been
interesting for me and uh and my family.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
We kind of want to get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't know, just generally, you know, La born and
raised the Native you know, and everything will be their
resiliency will happen, it will rebuild and all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Man, I want to move to the mountains. I want
to move to the mountains.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The problem is my kids, don't you know, they're ingrained
in Los Angeles. They have their their friends, their girlfriends,
you know, and they just don't want to move. But
if I will say, I will say that it has
brought the family close together.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
We actually spent we spent.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Almost ten days together. I just got back today, almost
ten days together in the desert, and it was it
was it was nice. It was nice to all be
together and to who, you know, just exist in each
(06:04):
other's company for that long. And then the kids, you know,
it's it's just the there's uncertainty. I guess there's uncertainty.
But at the end of the day, we all have
our lives, you know, it's just things at the end
(06:26):
of the day, and you know, we'll move forward.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
We'll move forward.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But I won't go too much into it because I
know that people have some fatigue with it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But you know, I just have to say something.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I haven't posted anything on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Now it's time to rebuild and volunteer and help, and
of course, you know, give where you can, and you know,
give money. And there's there's so many people with with
gofundmes that I know who are just trying to survive,
you know, at this point, trying to figure out what
the next steps are. And then once the cleanup happens,
you know that that volunteer work, if if possible, is
(07:10):
the stuff that is going to need need to get
done as well. But we're we're we're a long ways off, man,
We're a while.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's going to be a minute. But anyway, I will quit.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I'll quit now. But I love everyone. Everyone stay safe,
just generally in life. That's the thing is you never know, man,
you never never know. I guess that's the beauty. The
beauty of it is that there's there is no rhyme
or reason, there is no real plan. In my opinion, yeah,
(07:48):
shit happens. Shit happens. We've got to try to live
every day with some sort of positivity.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And it's hard. It's hard, you know, Do I practice
what I preach? Now?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And I can sit here and tell you, you know,
you wake up every morning and you think you get
grateful for the day. You try you try to do
that shit. It's not you know, it's not easy. I
try to wake up every morning and just say it's
gonna be a great fucking day.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's kind of what I say.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I sit up in my bed and it's gonna be
a great fucking day, even if I don't even know
if it is, but I might as well start the
day out that way, and then it could evolve from there.
It could be a great fucking day. And I trip
down the stairs and then turn my ankle, and then
the coffee machine doesn't work, and I'm like, motherfucker, it's
not a great day. And it's only thirty minutes into
(08:36):
the day, you know. And then you go to feed
the dogs because they're barking and there's no more dog food.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So now what do you do.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You look in the refrigerator and you try to find
some like ham that's just been sitting in there so
to give them something.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And now you're flipping ham at them.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And the kids haven't been waken up for school yet,
and now now they they're late they're not waking up.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Now you're late for school.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Now you're at them because you're angry they're not getting
in the goddamn car, you know, And you're only two
hours into your morning, and you've just said it's gonna
be a great fucking day.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And then you know what happens.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Then you drop the kids off and you realize that
you don't have any gas and you run out of
gas on Olympic and now cars are honking at you,
and it's only been three hours into your day. And
then you say it's going to be a great fucking day.
And then you reflect on those and it's going to
be a great fucking day. And guess what, it's not.
It's not a great fucking day because now you got
to get towed to the get nearest gas station and
(09:34):
you've missed all of your appointments.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But then, you know what, We're still breathing and we're
still alive, and there might be.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That one little gem that happens during the day that
makes the great fucking day. So I'll leave everyone this
with this, look for the gem. There is a gem
in your day, in everyone's day, There is a gem
somewhere in that day. So take find the gem, and
take the gym, and and and then and then make.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That the greatest fucking day.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
All Right, I have no idea what I just said,
but it's probably pretty profound. And most of you will
be in tears after hearing this because just because of
how I my how, I'm just such a wordsmith. All Right,
I'm out, I'm gonna go have a great fucking day.
