SPECIAL GUESTS!
John and Chad of Switchfoot came in to talk about the 5th Annual Switchfoot BroAm this weekend in Encinitas.
The event benefits Stand Up for Kids, an organization that aids homeless youth.
Between this and Stay Classy’s Campaign for Abandoned Youth, San Diegans have become very aware of this really important issue.
The Bro Am is a great community event, a party for charity, and FREE!
Switchfoot played an acoustic set (harmonica, guitar, cello–awesome) in studio before they took off.
They played “Southbound Train” and “Dare You to Move.” Listen below!
And keep an eye out for their forthcoming record “Hello Hurricane,” due out in October.

CHEAP THRILLS with Sammi
In the third edition of this segment, Sammi suggested some more settings for cheap, creative fun.
VELODROME Morley Field: Banked track bike racing–like sustainable Nascar!
It’s completely free . You sit on an old bleacher with other spectators and everyone brings coolers of booze and food! (Drinking outside is the best.)
Races start at 6:30 p.m., so bring a portable dinner. Definitely better than eating in front of the TV. You can even get involved! They rent out track bikes and have training classes.
The races are every Tuesday in the summer from daylight savings to daylight savings. In the off season there’s a swap meet.
BEST OF BALBOA PARK: The Museum of Photographic Arts has a really cool exhibition by Jo Whaley right now. It features bugs in front of space backgrounds.
The MoPA is only $4 for students, but you can use any old or expired student ID (trust her.) If you can’t, it’s only $6 anyway!
After, walk straight past the lily pond to the botanical garden section. The best patches of grass to lay on are on either side of the building.
The best performer hangs there too. He does a great rendition of “Redemption Song.”
Also in the same area of Balboa Park is the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center with their fancy IMAX theater. It ALWAYS features films about underwater life.
The best place to smoke is right across the street opposite the park in this little area with pathways and countless, colorful flower bushes.
It’s a little pricey for Cheap Thrills, but all 10 a.m. “early bird” shows are only $8.50, which is great considering regular movies are $11 dollars!
JUNE GLOOM FREE “TO-DO’S”
Cloudy skies and rainy days getting you down? Don’t fear! There are still plenty of things to do outside!
Lay on the grass, look up at the sky and decide what animals the clouds look like.
Video games are a rainy day activity. If you can’t afford a new game, system, or a TV and want to get out, get ripped and go to Best Buy! When Guitar Hero came out Sammi used to go all the time. You have to fight off little kids, but it’s totally worth it to get out of the house and test out tons of games.
Sammi said she’s about to go play ‘Ghostbusters’ there today!
Mudsliding is the best rainy day activity EVER.
When it rains, find somewhere where the grass is worn down to dirt. (Wet dirt = mud, remember!?) Parks and fields are best, and it shouldn’t be too hard to find with the droughts and new conservation rules. Baseball fields work if you can’t find anything, but that is kind of mean because someone has to clean up after you.
Then, treat the mud like a full-field slip n slide! Get covered, roll around, throw it, SO FUN.
Get naked and hose down in a stranger’s yard. Makes it that much better.
Or sneak into a hotel hot tub.
CHEAP THRILLS CHEAP DRINK OF THE MONTH
GINNY BUCKET:
They feed a billion for super cheap.
-
Buy a fifth of cheap ass gin (no more than $7 or so.)
-
Pour it all in a bucket or big pot.
-
Add an entire 2 liter of Squirt (like a dollar.)
-
Cut up a few limes and lemons (like 75 cents.)
-
And you drink it with turkey basters!
Everyone gets a turkey baster to dip and sip. Gets you hammered and is super fun and easy.
For those who love the little things in life, Cheap Thrills is for you!
MORE DRUNK DIAL LINE!
Added:
Zabrocki, the 91X surf reporter, woke up drunk in Portland.
9 a.m.
MORE SPECIAL GUESTS!
Carlos Alazraqui and Cedric Yarbrough, or Dep. Garcia and Jones from Reno 911, came in to talk about their stand-up tonight at Viejas.
They described it as a “nude male nude revue.”
Cedric said “as an African American man, and the biggest guy in the room,” everyone was forbidden from commenting on the death of Michael Jackson.
Carlos blamed Obama for the death.
Then he said, “If Michael Jackson is reincarnated he will come back as a black man.”
Rad.
They spiraled into a series of awesome impressions and tastes of their show tonight.
The resentment harnessed by Cedric toward Carlos was palatable.
Fun fact: Carlos was the voice of Rocko on Rocko’s Modern life! Best show ever.
Mat showed them his “RENO!” tattoo, but all they did was make fun of his nipples.
Cedric’s Bill Cosby went on about nipples and pudding for quite some time.
Go see them!
Hollaback, marijuana.
