Tim and Dave Ross discuss performing in San Diego, riffing on the attractive but not-too-bright crowds, comparing them to LA's pretentious pseudo-intellectuals, and imagining San Diego as the calmest place to experience the apocalypse.
- Tim describes San Diego as a city of attractive but slightly stupid people, though the comedy club crowds have been sharp enough to get the jokes.
- A friend argues that working out and being healthy is a different kind of intelligence, but Tim counters that it doesn't help when people don't understand his jokes.
- David Costa reveals he didn't like performing in San Diego because audiences wanted crowd work about getting drunk rather than substantial comedy.
- Tim appreciates that San Diego lacks the pseudo-intellectual pretend artists found in other cities—just military and athletic people living their lives.
- Real bar fights and people beating each other like animals is part of what makes San Diego the ideal place to experience the apocalypse.
- In New York and LA, people will die during the apocalypse still arguing that they're right, but San Diego will face the end differently.
- San Diego residents look like extreme people—the kind who seem ready for anything, very attractive and wild.
