47: Puttin' on the ritz

We prerecorded this episode prior to the devastating wildfires that have greatly impacted Los Angeles. While our hearts and minds are constantly with the city we love; we decided to release this episode because more than ever we need some levity and pockets of joy wherever possible. Our hope is that our podcast can be a reprieve, albeit brief, from the anxiety, sorrow and fear that many of us are surrounded by at the moment. At the bottom of our show notes, you can find a list of resources of where to donate or find help if you've been impacted by the wildfires. We love this beautiful city and have been moved by the outpouring of support and the willingness of so many to step up in any way possible.  We will get through this together. ❤️This week, Katie and Mary Kate take a caller who shares a DMV horror story and they also share stories about: putting your foot in your mouth, a rest stop visit from Hell, blowing it with your crush, getting and losing your dream job in the same day and more!If you have an embarrassing story that you'd like to share with us, please email us at [email protected] you'd like to support our show and buy us a coffee, please visit our Patreon : www.patreon.com/BeetRedPodcastThis show was recorded by Anthony Serrano at PROJKT studios in Monterey Park, CA. Produced, arranged, edited and mixed in Los Angeles, CA by Mirage ZamprioliOriginal theme music written and produced by Mirage Zamprioli (Andante)Beet Red original artwork by Robin WattsProduced by John CreeryDont Miss out on all things Beet Red!Instagram/TikTok/Twitter/ YouTube/ Facebook: @beetredpodcastWebsite: www.beetredpodcast.comBeet Red is hosted by Katie Zamprioli and Mary Kate Schellhardt.Instagram/TikTok: Katie Zamprioli @candycoloredhomeLinks for places to donate for the wildfires impacting Los Angeles: (These are Go Fund Me's that have received less than 30% of their goal and are updated regularly)https://personalspace.substack.com/p/where-to-donate-for-people-whove?triedRedirect=trueMy friend Zel McCarthy put this incredible list of resources together for getting and giving help:  https://lafirehelp.crd.co/Shoutout to Liz Culley of the Cool Cool Podcast for putting the links below together!Los Angeles Fire Department https://supportlafd.kindful.com/?campaign=1040812Wildfire Recovery Fund https://www.calfund.org/funds/wildfire-recovery-fund/Displaced Latino Families https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1km3lEvdVY70P3875guzujp5xtoIFMr6jVZVxfpN3MeA/htmlview?usp=gmail&pli=1Displaced Black Families bit.ly/rebuildADThe Red Cross https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/?srsltid=AfmBOopnrth00baUEdhjyo1dSmxJUqBmxFemg-gTaCTUdmcKxG7d-VCHPasadena Humane https://pasadenahumane.org/Baby2Baby https://donate.baby2baby.org/give/648067/#!/donation/checkoutLarge Google Doc that includes tons of small businesses to donate to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10gvOxituYvxxknoY9IQa-YEqfK8WvCjcLBcg4hsmME4/edit?gid=0#gid=0
