00:00You loved him in Chicken Run, now it's Mel Gibson in Chicken Run!
00:06The chickens survived. It was amazing. They weren't roast chickens.
00:10Mel's got jokes! And at least a small silver lining.
00:14A minor miracle in these fires was at Mel Gibson's place.
00:19Everything sadly was burnt, except his chickens.
00:23Oh, you're kidding!
00:25He was talking to a news station. Everything you see is burnt to a crisp.
00:28But the chickens survived. That is shocking.
00:31More shocking is Mel's positive attitude in light of losing his home to the devastating Palisades fire.
00:37I said to myself, well, at least I haven't got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.
00:42So many one-liners throughout this interview. He was always funny.
00:46Well, he certainly keeps things in perspective.
00:48Like on Joe Rogan's podcast in Austin where Mel was when the fire first broke out.
00:53I generally feel pretty grateful for what some people go through.
00:58This morning, for example, I would be surprised if my home is still there.
01:02His attitude is incredibly positive.
01:04I think we'll see a lot more of Mel Gibson tiptoeing into political stuff.
01:08He's friends with Trump!
01:10In fact, when Rogan says California Governor Gavin Newsom didn't spend enough to prevent the fires, Mel says...
01:16I think all our tax dollars probably went for Gavin's hair gel. I don't know.
01:20Sick burn! Oh, right, sorry.
01:23I don't think I've heard so much Mel Gibson in the last couple months.
01:26Well, no, no, because remember, one of you guys got Mel Gibson at the airport.
01:29Well, yeah, it was one of us.
01:31You were actually going to take that as a credit.
01:34Now Charlie's like, we don't have bylines here.
01:37So good luck, Mel. At least the fire spared your loved ones and that wicked sense of humor.
01:42It's a beautiful ocean view. Hey, anybody want to buy some land? Five acres up here.
