I don’t know how Kevin can survive in California. When he lived in Florida, he would just let things explode in his driveway and all the bushes around would catch on fire and he would just ignore it and they would go out.

@@chkndnts No but they do control the local ordinances, forests, brushlands, and state/national parks. If they did controlled burns none of this would really be a problem.

Most animals know to avoid it but sometimes it's good practice to get rid of it especially if goats ever come around again. That also could explain some of their behavior but also could not, they were probably familiar with it by now.
I'm guessing that for Lily and Michael's "Come to open sauce" they agreed to do a long awkward pause, that's why Lily looks directly into the camera, but then Michael does it immediately to mess with her. Or maybe I need to go outside at least once a month
TLDR: William gets told to clear brush around his home because it is a fire hazard. From a Wildland Firefighting stand point, their concern is valid. They don't want you to lose another home in another wildfire! 😊
William, I love you. That being said, open sauce at home was not a workable experience this year. I will stay but there has to be value. Hell, I would pay more for an open sauce at home ticket for any value. I love ypu bby but so far there is nothing for my payment. I stay supporting as of the moment for the vision of what is to be.

You'd think someone who's had one house burn down already would be a little proactive about preventing another.
it was a controlled burn so the roots wouldn't ignite on their own
Well, William has what’s colloquially referred to as “fuck you money,” so maybe it doesn’t matter
You would... but it's william... he's less than half as unhinged as he appears... maybe a lot less than half.
You can always tell when someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about when they start a sentence with “you’d think”.

It's crazy how this channel was so different before the fire and so... this, after, and yet we all just kind of. stuck around. Vibed with it.
