Okay, I'll take on Mackenzie.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Round one of the trivia battle for Teddy Swim's tickets
starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
All right, Sarah, this weekend, San Diego police made 16
arrests and issued 31 citations. It was their first weekend
to do their new enforcement effort.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Dubbed what?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Is it A, Operation Last Call? Or is it B,
Operation Fifth Avenue? By the way, they're doing this in
the Gaslamp Quarter.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm going to go with Operation Last Call.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You've hopped around in downtown, I can tell. You are
on the board. All right, Mackenzie, here's your first question.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
It looks like an official Pokemon animated movie is coming out,
and everyone is freaking out.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I guess this has never happened. What's it going to
be called?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Is it A, Pokemon Wild Card, or B, Pokemon Vending
Machine Mania?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Uh, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Go with A. Oh, yeah. Tati, we're into round two.
Everyone's tied up.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
All right, Sarah, there are two Trader Joe's being reported
to be opening. One is still actually being built, and
it's in San Marcos.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Where is the other?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Is it A, Paradise Hills, or B, Claremont?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Ooh, I'm going to go with Claremont.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Okay, here is your question. Mackenzie, you need to get
this right to stay in the game. SDG & E
has a controversial proposal on the table that has residents talking.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
What is it for?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Is it A, a 145-mile transmission line, or B, a
new solar farm?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I'm going to go with.
Hey.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
145 mile transmission line. Goodness, that seems like a long line.
I have no idea what that is, so I.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Have no idea. What's a transmission line? All right, let's
take it to the tiebreaker round, friends.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
One final question closest to the number without going over
on this final question for these Teddy Swims tickets.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Tati, Becky, Mitch, what do you have?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sarah and Mackenzie, do me a favor. Answer this question quick,
all right? Don't take too long to ponder. The MLB
Power Rankings just came out. Where do the Padres rank
on the Power Rankings?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Your name is your buzzer.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Sarah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
28.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
28, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And where are you at, Mackenzie?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
No, that was me.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I said 28.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, Mackenzie at 28. Go ahead, Sarah. I'm going to
go with 27. All right.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Currently, they are just under the top 10 at number 11.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
All right, it's about that time, guys. It's time for
the trivia battle.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Kenya, excuse me, Daniel's on the phone in San Marcos.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What's up, Daniel? Good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Good morning, Daniel. All right, you're going to be playing
someone in South Bay, Chula Vista. Brenda, good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Good morning. You ready to play this game, Brenda?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yes, I am. Perfect.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Padres, Yankees tickets up for grabs. Tati, who do you
want to ask your questions to?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Daniel in San Marcos.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
OK, I'll take you on, Brenda. Good luck, everybody. The
trivia battle starts right now.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
All right, Daniel, I'm looking at some headlines and I'm
seeing that comedian Mike Epps returned to the place where
he first had his where he had his first job.
And when I say job, I'm talking about a fast
food chain. He did this for charity. What drive through
was he working? Is it a McDonald's or B Burger King?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Nice job. All right, Brenda, let's see how you can
do with your first question.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend says they do what to get through arguments?
Is it A, ask ChatGPT for advice, or B, meditate? A, meditate.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
All right. I like that.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
No one has any faith that Jennifer Aniston is using
technology for her relationship.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Meditating is good. You need that. All right, Daniel. Everybody's
got a point on the board, by the way, going
into round two.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
All right, the New York Yankees. What was the last
time they were a World Series champion? Was that A, 2009,
or B, 2000?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
2000.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
2000. No.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Actually, both those years they got the World Series championship,
but 2009 was the last time.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
All right, Brenda and Chula Vista, if you get this
next question right, you win the trivia battle and the
Padres-Yankees tickets.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
If not, you two are going to the tiebreaker round.
Here's your question.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Brenda, a massive 24-story arena and housing project in the
sports arena area just got cleared. Another big hurdle this week.
It's getting closer. What's that whole thing going to be called?
Is it A, Midway Rising, or B, Bayfront Landing?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ooh, B, Bayfront Landing?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Good answer.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
No!
Speaker 4 (05:47):
No, it's actually Midway Rising.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All right, well, let's get into the tiebreaker round. Your
name is your buzzer.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
All right, Daniel and Brenda, do me a favor.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Answer this question pretty quick, okay? There's good news.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
San Diego County overdose deaths fell again in 2025 by
how much percent?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Twenty five percent.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh, your name is your buzzer. That was Brenda.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm going to assume in Chula Vista. She said twenty
five percent. Daniel, what you got?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Fifty percent. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I wish it's actually eleven percent. So Brenda was the
closest without going over.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Have so much fun, Brenda.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know, Brenda got a baby, right?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Does he?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Does she? Or is that the song? That's the song.
We love Tupac. That's right. Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Hey, we've got SeaWorld Spooktacular tickets on the way. It's
a family four-pack.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Stay here. Guys, too early on the Tupac news. No,
it's not. There's Tupac news, right? There's like Tupac news.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, not too early for Tupac.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
There is.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
He's been dead for a long time.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That's right, producer Becky Ritz, but as of yesterday, it's official.
