King Scott (2:03)

Hey!

Rizz (2:06)

Hey, everybody's back. Moon's back. Welcome back to St. Louis.

SPEAKER_2 (2:11)

Good to be back.

Rizz (2:13)

Great to be back. San Diego?

Moon Valjean (2:15)

San Diego, yes.

SPEAKER_6 (2:15)

San Diegans. Wales Vagina.

Moon Valjean (2:17)

San Diego, Dallas, and Phoenix.

Lern (2:20)

Yeah, I've never been. I'm going next year, actually. I just booked a San Diego trip for next...

Rizz (2:25)

For what?

Lern (2:25)

You'll love it.

Matthew (2:26)

Agree or disagree?

Lern (2:27)

For Christmas.

Rizz (2:28)

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_6 (2:28)

Yeah, we're going to do Christmas. Christmas in San Diego.

Rafe Williams (2:30)

Wow. I did that one year.

Lern (2:32)

Did you?

Rafe Williams (2:32)

I went surfing in San Diego over the Christmas, New Year's holiday. Yeah, in a wetsuit and found out that's great white season. Didn't tell me until my fat ass was out there on a surfboard flailing around.

Moon Valjean (2:44)

Dressed like a sea lion.

Lern (2:45)

Wait a minute. You mean like the band?

Rafe Williams (2:47)

My buddy was like...

Rizz (2:48)

Did you die?

Rafe Williams (2:49)

I didn't die, but I'm like, why didn't you tell me before I went in? He goes, because you wouldn't go.

Lern (2:53)

Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_1 (2:54)

I would not have gone.

Moon Valjean (2:55)

You're good. Don't be.

Rizz (2:56)

What are the odds?

Lern (2:57)

They're out there.

SPEAKER_1 (2:58)

Apparently, they were in my favor.

King Scott (2:59)

Did you see them? You don't ever see them.

Rafe Williams (3:02)

I was also slowly drowning. I was busy drowning.

Rizz (3:05)

Did you get up on the board?

Rafe Williams (3:07)

Hell no. He didn't tell me until halfway through a two-hour session that you're supposed to let the wave pop you up.

Moon Valjean (3:14)

That's also not the easiest place to learn.

Rafe Williams (3:15)

It's not.

Moon Valjean (3:16)

Not necessarily.

King Scott (3:17)

Did you try longboard or were you on the shortboard?

Rafe Williams (3:19)

I think you could have put me on a Ouija board. It wouldn't have mattered.

SPEAKER_6 (3:23)

That's what I serve on.

Rafe Williams (3:24)

Ouija board.

SPEAKER_6 (3:25)

It wouldn't have happened.

Rafe Williams (3:26)

I'm like, please, spirits, let me pop up one time.

SPEAKER_6 (3:28)

No.

Rafe Williams (3:28)

The little thing would go to, no thank you.

SPEAKER_6 (3:30)

No.

Moon Valjean (3:30)

You're going to have an issue, though, with San Diego.

Rafe Williams (3:32)

What's that?

SPEAKER_6 (3:32)

Never coming back? You're not going to want to leave. No, I know.

Rizz (3:34)

I hear the weather's great.

Moon Valjean (3:35)

Well, it is the best weather in the entire country year-round.

Rafe Williams (3:40)

Agree or disagree, San Diego is a clean LA.

Moon Valjean (3:43)

Oh, disagree.

Rafe Williams (3:46)

Really?

Moon Valjean (3:46)

Totally different style of person.

SPEAKER_6 (3:49)

You don't have the stars out there in San Diego.

Rafe Williams (3:51)

Well, in San Diego, people are regular people.

Your waiter's not waiting for his big break. He's just a waiter.

Rizz (3:57)

It's a big naval city, so that big Navy base is there.
