  Quote:

  • Jessica: “We shut down intuition as we age... But if you don’t know that... how you feel and perceive someone is as real in that realm as it is in the others.” (07:28)

5. Fame, Insulation, and Perceptions of Celebrity Normalcy

• Kennedy points out how celebrities can appear relatable in public but remain insulated from reality.
  Quote:

6. Pop Culture Shoutouts & Millennial Touchstones

• The hosts reminisce about Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, and the “millennial moments” tied to celebrity couples and tragedies.
• Discussion of the emotional impact of house fires—even among the wealthy—and the unfairness of diminishing others’ grief based on their status.

7. California Wildfires: Loss and Bureaucracy

• A raw and detailed exploration of recent California wildfires:

  • Health hazards from toxic ash
  • Frustrations with government response and rebuilding delays
  • Critique of political leaders’ (Karen Bass, Rick Caruso) actions
  • The universal vulnerability to disaster, regardless of wealth or fame.

• Heartbreaking stories about the loss of a beloved preschool, the irreplaceable value of handmade mementos, and the emotional consequences for families and children.

8. Political Speculation & Satirical Commentary

• The tail end features rapid-fire predictions for the 2028 U.S. presidential race, playful fat-shaming of certain politicians, and a wish for a “competent gangster” to run New York City responsibly.
  Quotes:
  • Jessica: “I don’t think America will ever elect a fat president.” (18:34)

Transcript

[Kennedy]

Foreign. Hello.

[Jessica Darlove]

Welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. I feel like I'm interviewing myself today. Jessica Darlove is here for happy hour. Cheers. Here's a little teeny tiny shot because I know you have to go on the five.

[Kennedy]

Yeah. Now when people tweet at me, they're like, are you effing drunk? I'll be like, maybe. And I'm Kennedy.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah, that's right.

[Kennedy]

Should we tell our new best story? Tell the name? No, I'm just going to say a very Fox host of prominence.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

No one is on at 3 o' clock in the morning.

[Jessica Darlove]

Nope.

[Kennedy]

I was at an event with her. We had a nice conversation.

[Jessica Darlove]

And it was not Dana Perino, by.

[Kennedy]

The way, who is Definitely not at 3 o' clock in the morning either. But not that that's a bad slot. I don't know if someone is on on that. I did not mean to offend you. Whoever's on at 3 o' clock in the morning. I'm just saying this host that, you know.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

I went out of my way to be super chatty, complimentary. I was like that pink suit that you were wearing the other night. Oh, in the night. Okay. Anyway, you look great. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Then we're like lining up.

[Jessica Darlove]

Chummy. Like friendly.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

And like, how nice.

[Kennedy]

Like how nice. And we don't know each other that well. Lining up for this photo. I'm gonna stand here next to Kennedy and also in front of a bunch of our other colleagues who are all like.

[Jessica Darlove]

And did this person really believe that?

[Kennedy]

Maybe.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, that is fantastic.

[Kennedy]

I don't know. Didn't ask.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, that makes me so happy. Because you told me that I'm like, oh, she likes me maybe.

[Kennedy]

Well, yeah. No, actually, because you were super nice and Jessica's still that. That a hole.

[Jessica Darlove]

I think it's the best.

[Kennedy]

It's pretty good.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Yeah. Because it's also just like you're all the same for all the, like, people that are like, oh, of course. You know, we know the differences between everybody. It's such like. Oh, brown hair.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Not even a similar brown.

[Jessica Darlove]

No.

[Kennedy]

Different glasses.

[Jessica Darlove]

Mine is much darker.

[Kennedy]

Yeah, look at this. I don't. Natural highlights. But like, look at anyway.

[Jessica Darlove]

Different glasses. Yeah, Mine are face off. Face. What are yours?

[Kennedy]

What do you mean? Oh, the brand.

[Jessica Darlove]

Brand. Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Oh, Oliver Peoples.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, nice. Those are cute.

[Kennedy]

Were. I'll get a little morbid about it. These were my dad's last glasses that he was wearing. And then I went and put my lenses in.

[Jessica Darlove]

I Think that's lovely. I think that's very sweet.

[Kennedy]

And I've done it with a bunch of his pairs, even when he was still alive. I was like, your glasses from the 90s are incredible. I'm going to go use them. But it was so funny because they're Oliver Peoples and they make the buffalo horn version. And they also make a plastic version. And I had the plastic ones in, like, a nice camel color. And he was like, I love those glasses. Can you get me a pair? And this was when he couldn't even walk anymore. I was like, yeah, I'll go over and get them for you. He was like, how much are they? I told him. He's like, there must be a nicer version of that. I was like, well, there's buffalo horn. And I was like, do you want those? And he said, yeah, how much are they? And I told him, and he's like, yeah, definitely. I was like. He goes, I get it, I'm dying, but I still wanna look good on my way out. And I was like, great. And then I got them.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, that. But that is such a nice way of seeing things. It really is.

[Kennedy]

Like, from him.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes, totally. That's such a. You know, it's like. Cause that means that he's an optimist.

[Kennedy]

Well, he didn't. I'm curious if you're trying to turn happy hour into a dead dad or. But he didn't think he was dying until, like, we actually decided, like, two days before that he wasn't gonna go back to the hospital. And my mom said the. We were talking about it, she was like. I'm pretty sure that as he was, like, taking one breath per minute or whatever, he was like, you know what? I'm probably gonna beat this.

[Jessica Darlove]

Feeling pretty good.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

Maybe we should schedule those tennis lessons in the spring.

[Kennedy]

Totally.

[Jessica Darlove]

But that is so common.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

And so. And there are people. And it's the most interesting thing, but I love it because it means that human beings fight. Like, they really fight. And they're like, I'm here. Like, cogito ergo sum. I think they're 4am I think I breathe, therefore I am. Like, I exist now, today as much as I did 15 years ago.

[Kennedy]

Right.

[Jessica Darlove]

And. And I think there is something actually very, very beautiful about that. A good friend of mine whose husband passed away, let's see, about 10 years ago, and he was in his 40s, he. He was like, no, I'm. I'm fight. I'm good. And I was like, that's amazing. Talking to Him. And then I would talk to his mother in law and she was like, this family. And there's always someone in the family who are like, we have to come to grips with this. Like, there's the realist. And you know, but the rest of the people are like, no, let's continue the party until they shut the lights off. Like, let's keep raging.

[Kennedy]

I wonder about, for the people who refuse treatment for whatever they have. I wonder if there's some part of them that doesn't want to get what they perceive as this false hope that you can make it. Because I feel like once you get into the fight, yeah, you get this I'm going to beat it thing.

[Jessica Darlove]

But also with our innovation, there's always a new thing.

[Kennedy]

There is.

[Jessica Darlove]

It's like with, with some of the beauty treatments that we go through.

[Kennedy]

I mean, we're 15.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like, there's always a new thing.

[Kennedy]

We're 15. Yes.

[Jessica Darlove]

But you know, think about it. It's like, well, there's immunotherapies, there's biologics, you know, there's a clinical trial around the corner.

[Kennedy]

Just get in.

[Jessica Darlove]

There has to be something for me.

[Kennedy]

Yes. Yeah. And most of the time there is something you can try. It's just too far and few between. I think doctors that are really objective about what's going on. I've been thinking about that a lot.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like, I think they get, I think they get, I think the doctors get addicted to false hope.

[Kennedy]

Well. And to the success of whatever they're doing.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

Because they're like, oh, I have this one person. And you're like, okay, well one, one made it and then how many passed away? Right. Or who didn't have good outcomes. But I'm not poo pooing. I mean, if you're listening, do the trial, like try to stay alive as long as you can.

[Jessica Darlove]

Absolutely.

[Kennedy]

Right. But it's so, I mean, death is weird.

[Jessica Darlove]

Death is weird. But that's, you know, and it's, it's very interesting because I have a friend who lost her husband recently, totally unexpected, in the middle of the night.

[Kennedy]

And he just died.

[Jessica Darlove]

He just died. 53. And you know, it's. And I told her what I told you and what I've told other people. Like grief is very dynamic and, and you think you're going to be over it at some point and you're just not. And it's like a river that makes turns and like one day there's rapids and one day it's completely calm and it just, it keeps going. Yeah, it's the most fascinating thing.

[Kennedy]

It is a very weird journey and you get breaks from it and then it comes back. I meant to ask you, does your dad visit through the girls? My dad is through Cleo constantly.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, that's very interesting. How so?

[Kennedy]

Like, she'll say, grandpa, Mark is making pancakes. He made pancakes every day. She says, grandpa's in the elevator. She will? Yeah. It's really weird. And she'll talk about him more when my mom is around.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, that's amazing. So she must hurt, like, her senses. Yeah. So, like, her intuition is as well developed as her other senses. So she.

[Kennedy]

But she's not blocked.

[Jessica Darlove]

We shut down intuition as we age. And, you know, because it's painful, because it's scary. But if you don't know that and your intuition is as open as your sense of touch and your sense of sight, like how you feel and perceive someone is as real in that realm as it is in the others. I think that's fascinating.

[Kennedy]

Yeah, it's fabulous. And I told you, my mom has this great medium that has good access to my dad.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

And she asked him about it, and he was like, oh, yeah. Like, I'm with Cleo all the time. Oh, that's so sweet.

[Jessica Darlove]

Because he can be like.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

They find people that they. They can make that connection with. Because I think, you know, and. And I have no data to back this up. I just think it takes less energy. Exactly. I mean, there's.

[Kennedy]

It's not about the feel.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Happier.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes. But if you've got someone who, you know, who's already an open vessel, like, it's much easier to dock in their port.

[Kennedy]

Totally. I mean, every movie does that. Right.

[Jessica Darlove]

Do you dream about your dad?

[Kennedy]

Not that much. I have. I've never dreamt about him sick. So clearly I haven't gotten to that phase.

[Jessica Darlove]

I don't. I don't know that. You ever dream about them sick. I think they. I think they inhabit an ideal that I've heard is 35.

[Kennedy]

Oh, well, that's what we are. Exactly. Because of Morpheus 8. So. Do you get visits?

[Jessica Darlove]

I do. And. And so the last time I dreamt about my dad, I called my mom the next day and I was like, I dreamt about dad last night. She's like, so did I. And she was like, what did you dream?

[Kennedy]

What were you guys, though?

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah, but so, I mean, we're both, like, kind of open and connected in that way. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy Saves the World, right after this.

[Kennedy]

This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, the Life of Jesus A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort, and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow [e-mail] or wherever you listen to podcasts.

[Jessica Darlove]

But I've also dreamt about my friend's mom who passed away, and she also passed away, like, 10 years ago, maybe more. And I will dream about her very frequently, but she visits me in the most amazing. It's like she's taking me to the coolest celestial level where I get to glimpse for just a little bit with her. Like, I'm her plus one for a little bit. And so one night, she took me up in some sort of a plane, and we could look down and see the whales at night. And they were like. They were like, neon and iridescent. And I'm like, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[Kennedy]

That's awesome.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

And then you were super close with her.

[Jessica Darlove]

I was close with her, yes. And I told her daughter and. And I had to stop telling her because she was like, oh, I never dream about my mom. That must be nice. And I felt really bad because. And then she opened. Yes, in a way. But I think sometimes when people are that close to you.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like, you either don't remember it or it's, you know, it's just something deeper that is inaccessible. But the Justin Baldoni Blake Lively thing.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like, he would tell her, oh, I have dreams about your dad. And I realized, like, that is such a cruel manipulation and also not provable in any way. And I don't believe him. I think he was just saying that to, like, either freak her out or make it seem like they had a level of intimacy that they didn't.

[Kennedy]

So you're Team Blake. I'm.

[Jessica Darlove]

I'm kind of Team Neither.

[Kennedy]

Okay.

[Jessica Darlove]

Because I think they're both sociopaths. And I think that because this is.

[Kennedy]

A wild journey, because I was so sure.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

That I was Team Blake. Then I started seeing the PR people's text. Then I saw his counterclaim, and apparently she's going to gear up. She's gearing up for another release of something.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

But, like, if you asked me right now, I'd be like, blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are getting divorced and will never work again. But, like, I don't know.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah, it's true. I mean, I don't know if it's true they're getting divorced, but no, it's true that they. They are not Blameless in this whole thing. And I think when you're that famous, you set up layers of insulation. Insecurity.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

That protect you from this stuff. And you just like ghost people and.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

You know, you freeze people out in order to control situations.

[Kennedy]

Normal.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Anymore. They live around the corner from me.

[Jessica Darlove]

Really?

[Kennedy]

Yes. And they go to the same coffee shop that Brian, my husband, goes to, and they appear very normal.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

They, like, go and get coffee and a piece of banana bread and you're like, oh, my God, the world's best looking people also eat banana bread. Or whatever. And then you see stuff like this and you're like, oh, actually, we don't live on the same planet at all. And I hadn't realized. I mean, I guess I knew, but she's so young.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Like, she's 37. Wow.

[Jessica Darlove]

And she's got five kids.

[Kennedy]

Four.

[Jessica Darlove]

Is she pregnant with her fifth?

[Kennedy]

No. That's what she was mad at Justin about. No, I'm kidding.

[Jessica Darlove]

She was so sorry.

[Kennedy]

No, I think it's just four. The four girls, maybe. Who knows? But. So she's been with Ryan like, her whole life. Yeah, her whole adult life.

[Jessica Darlove]

So I have been told, because Pele recently started watching Gossip Girl, that I'm not supposed to like her because she doesn't like her in Gossip Girl.

[Kennedy]

That show is so good. And you also can't help but be so happy about, like, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody that it just brings. Millennials are so seen in what's going on. And then I was so sad. You know, they're on the red carpet and then their house burned down in the fire. I guess they were near you.

[Jessica Darlove]

It doesn't matter how rich you are. No. And it's like. And the fact that people are using that as a justification. I know.

[Kennedy]

Like the Mandy Moore hating.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Even my sister was like that a little bit.

[Jessica Darlove]

And I was like, and Zooey Deschanel lost her childhood.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

And it's like. But that's still. You're a family. Like, all of your memories, all of your mementos. And I had someone at work, you know, say, how's your house? And I said, my house is still standing, thank God. You know, we're gonna have to gut the whole thing because there's smoke and fire damage and all that toxic crap that gets into every layer of your house that you can't get rid of. And you don't know what kind of long term health threat that poses.

[Kennedy]

We were supposed to talk about it on the Five the other day, but we Got preempted because Trump likes our rating. So he comes on at 5:00'. Clock. No, just kidding. Love you, Mr. President. But we were talking about this and are supposed to in the toxic ash. And like, my dad died out of a 911 cancer because we lived in the neighborhood. I don't know how people can be so cavalier about this. Like, you should just go right back into your structure, like, let it breathe a little bit. No, but it was the back and forth. But. I know, but there's is too long in 18 months and Trump is too fast and, like, could go right now and start rebuilding them.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah. And. And I know, like, because everyone I've talked to, this is just a couple days ago. People have been able to access their homes or what's left of them for the first time. And people are so scared and they're so frustrated and they're not getting answers. And then we hear Karen Bass, like, yeah, I'm just going to hire an outside consultant to build the whole thing. It's like, what the hell does that mean?

[Kennedy]

Right?

[Jessica Darlove]

And I don't. I don't trust her worldview. I trust the free market much more. And it's like, I look at Rick Caruso's place, and his was the only establishment that's still standing. So it's like maybe we let that guy, you know, consult and build everything if people want to.

[Kennedy]

Well, I think the guy that they brought in is very good. What? At least one of the consultants he built. Like, what's the new center? The new. Not. Not whatever. The Staples Center. There's like another big.

[Jessica Darlove]

Okay. Yeah, I know.

[Kennedy]

Yeah, he's like a real guy, but of course. But also, Rick Caruso got to build that, what, like, 10 years ago. And all of the restrictions or whatever. What's the right term? I'm like, this is me a great episode of the Five. I'm gonna be like, this is not because of the alcohol. Really outdated restrictions on, like, what codes. Yes. So that applied to the housing, but not to the new shops or whatever he built. And he had private firefighters, which I can't blame him for either.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah. I don't know if they were there, but I think that he put fire retardant on his building. And, you know, it's like, people don't have access to that. But he knew that he would have to because he also knew that there wasn't gonna be water because he had been on the water and power board. Yeah. So I hope it's not to keep Rick Russo out of the Process because he's a political opponent. Like, that would be absolutely disgusting.

[Kennedy]

I think people would be very.

[Jessica Darlove]

But people, people are frustrated people. It's, it's so emotional because. And I was talking to a good friend of mine who lost her house. Single mom. That's all she had. That was her asset. And, you know, she doesn't know what the recourse is going to be. She doesn't know she'll be able to rebuild. But she said the thing that gutted her was the preschool. And I found out when I was sitting next to you on the five, that our beloved preschool, where our children were nurtured, and it was so down to earth and wonderful with so much parental involvement and just the most amazing teachers. When that burned down, I, like, it shattered a piece of me. I think that was the hardest thing for my daughters because they have such beautiful memories from that time. And they're, you know, it's like, everyone there, everyone who has lost everything, there's no consolation that everyone else lost everything. Like, you think there would be.

[Kennedy]

No, it's when I told Brian that story and about the tiles that you were saying, like, each kid who goes to the school has a tile that they keep up on the wall. And he was like, are you trying to make me cry? Cuz just thinking about, you know, if you're, you know, we have little girls.

[Jessica Darlove]

I went through my pictures and found their tiles, and it, it made me so sad.

[Kennedy]

You got to, like, blow them up and.

[Jessica Darlove]

I know.

[Kennedy]

Or something.

[Jessica Darlove]

I know. And I, I, I want to talk. I know there's a person at the preschool who's trying to gather as many tiles as they were able to salvage. It's so sad. And, you know, it's like, for my friends who've lost everything, I'm like, how do you replace that stuff? Like, that's, People don't care about chairs. And, you know, it's like.

[Kennedy]

And if they do, you care about them less.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

You're just like, the stuff.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like, I had Jonathan Hunt grab two pieces of art that my daughters made in preschool. Like, that's the stuff that I wanted. And, you know, it's like my $750 million in gold bars. I'm just kidding.

[Kennedy]

Bob Menendez, is that you? My friend from high school's dad is a judge who sentenced him.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kennedy]

Sid Stein looking at you.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yes, Sid. Yeah, I think Sid did the right thing.

[Kennedy]

Definitely. I'm not sure if Trump pardons him. I feel like Trump is more likely to pardon Adams than Menendez Very interesting.

[Jessica Darlove]

I think.

[Kennedy]

I don't know why.

[Jessica Darlove]

I think I know because I think Adams did a 180 and was like, where's ice at? Yeah, come arrest everybody. I love you guys.

[Kennedy]

Maga. Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Kennedy]

It'll be really interesting, but I love how anyone who gets in trouble now is like, I'm a victim.

[Jessica Darlove]

Like Donald Trump, who runs in 2028 now. I mean, things are happening so fast. I think Gavin Newsom is wounded after the wildfires. I don't think he has the donor base that he did. You know, all these people who watch their homes burn, I don't think they believe in him anymore. I think the California dream for him has eroded. I definitely think Josh Shapiro.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Darlove]

I don't think J.B. pritzker. I don't think America will ever elect a fat president.

[Kennedy]

No. We'll do a lot of things.

[Jessica Darlove]

Well, a fat, short president, never.

[Kennedy]

Right. I think it's really the height and the weight together.

[Jessica Darlove]

But I do. I do think. I think Shapiro Fetterman is making a run right now. I think aoc.

[Kennedy]

Yep. I don't. But I think of those people, like.

[Jessica Darlove]

Shapiro is in a much better position.

[Kennedy]

Shapiro. I think Whitmer will.

[Jessica Darlove]

I think she's awful. She killed old people.

[Kennedy]

She what?

[Jessica Darlove]

She killed old people. As many as Andrew Cuomo. Oh.

[Kennedy]

But I think it's possible Andrew Cuomo tries to run.

[Jessica Darlove]

Oh, dear.

[Kennedy]

Every mayor of New York City.

[Jessica Darlove]

You know what? Our politics are so weird. None of it surprised me.

[Kennedy]

No. If you could have at this moment running our city a competent gangster, would you do it?

[Jessica Darlove]

If he lowered taxes? Yeah, I would.

[Kennedy]

Well, he's not going to do that.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah. If he lowered taxes. Like, if you could have. Whoever says I'm lowering taxes, I will lay down.

[Kennedy]

There is not a person who wouldn't take him out back.

[Jessica Darlove]

Bloomberg. Yeah, maybe. I mean, he's like 750 now.

[Kennedy]

No. Fine. Bloomberg. Tenure. If you could just have the orderliness.

[Jessica Darlove]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Of the city back.

[Jessica Darlove]

No, I want. I want a safe Central Park. Like, I don't want to have to look over my shoulder when I'm running through Central park.

[Kennedy]

Just to see people you leave in the dust, they're.

[Jessica Darlove]

They're not there because I'm so far ahead of them. I wish I was a fast runner. That'd be the best. All right. Go do the five.

[Kennedy]

Cheers to cheers to you and family.

[Jessica Darlove]

To dreams and defining tiles in the ash. Delightful. This has been Kennedy Saves the World, along with Jessica.

[Kennedy]

Charlotte.
