Our Own John Amato Lost His Home In The Palisades Fire
Our very dear VlogFather, John Amato, lost his home in the great Palisades Fire of 2025.
He was amazing to call in to The BradCast and let us all know how he is doing. Below is a rush transcript of the show:
BRAD FRIEDMAN: Welcome back to the Bradcast, Brad Friedman from bradblog.com.
On Tuesday afternoon, our old friend John Amato, who you may have heard on this program over the years as the creator of the long running, notorious Crooks and Liars blog, he posted a photo on Blue Sky of encroaching black smoke that could be seen from his patio, apparently, in Pacific Palisades with the text, “Had to evacuate from the Palisades, not fun.”
About seven hours later, he posted at Blue Sky again, this time to say, “My house is gone. The high winds doomed our community.”
