San Diego, citizens of San Diego, hear me out, because
I think we all need to come together and enough
is enough?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Wow? Had enough? Leader, I'm the leader.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
As a young adult in my twenties, I did a
couple adult like leagues I did. I did a flag
football league. I did a softball league at one point,
and it was fun. You know, Jay Jamies in a
kickball league, kickball Guy, kickball.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
When he goes to kick the ball, the ball wins.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
The kids too thick. The cartoons it's like made a cement,
but it's not. Yeah, yeah, it's very people. He's like gumby.
So I get it. And that's what's great about San Diego.
It gives you that fun thing to do.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You go out, you have fun, kickball, it's not too hot,
it's not too cold, perfect and it's affordable. And if
you're meeting new people transplants city, it's great. And again
it's affordable. So there's other places that There's this place
called the Beat they do Beach Volleyball Mission Bay.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You ever see that.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You see people it's like watching it save by the episode.
They're out there, they're hitting the vibe all the time
of their lives.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's great. This is what San Diego is about. It's
healthy for you. It's healthy for you. It's great.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, recently the Parks Department came out and said, hey,
you know, we need to raise rates a little bit
on things. So they went to the owners of Volo,
which is an adult adult like recreation league, the owners
of the volleyball league, the owners of all the kickball leagues,
and said.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We need to raise They're not VOVI anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, I guess not Volo. I don't know why they
changed it. Maybe it's a different company. I didn't do
that much research.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, oh that's a lie. You have three pages. That's
one of those. Wait a minute. Wait.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So they decided, hey, we want to do a nineteen
percent increase on your feest, so to use our use
our fields. Nineteen percent increase, all right, nineteen percent, And
these owners of these organizations said, we could do a
nineteen percent. So recently the owners of the organization went
to go get their permits for their new league year
and they found out that it wasn't nineteen percent that
(03:03):
they raised these fees that they were initially told. It
was two hundred percent. Huh two one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That can't be right. Oh, it's right, check your notes.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Because the San Diego City council sneakishly and pretty scummy,
decided to go and say, you know what, we're gonna
tell them it's nineteen percent. Now they're gonna deny they
did this, but they did it. They're gonna they nineteen
percent was gonna be what they said, right, But when
they voted, they decided, no, we're gonna do two hundred percent,
And what's two hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You think?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, if a team cost one hundred and eleven dollars,
now it costs three hundred and seventeen dollarstop. If a
team wanted lights for their fields, like you play soft
one night at it was one hundred and thirty eight
dollars now it's three hundred and ninety three dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Am I gonna get even? City?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, I play? I play at the santy swis I
mean they're gonna catch on eventually? No? Please don't. I
mean it is always insane.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
They basically started to jack the prices up altogether two
hundred and twenty eight dollars per team, just completely screwing
what this whole thing was about.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And what are they saying it's for? What do they
always say?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now, any time there's a rate increase that's out of control,
like the parking increase that's out of control.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Start, These poor people who are working downtown are having
to quit their jobs because it costs them more money
to park than what they're making. In true, they're literally
having to quit their jobs. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What does the city council say, Oh, budget, we were
our budget shortfall?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh my good our budget.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Now, did they bring in two billion dollars in tax
revenue last year in San Diego? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They did. Where's that going for? Where? Where did the
two billion dollars go? Where two billion dollars go? Todd
a hotel tax? Do we need a bigger hotel tax?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It would be nice, but you know, in the hotels,
we're in the back pocket. So I started doing more
research because I'm like, how are you two hundred and
eighty five million dollars short when you had two billion
dollars in tax revenue last year?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This makes sense?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It doesn't make sense. So I started doing some research
doing We're something crazy to me? What san Diego City Council?
Guess how much a member of San Diego City Council
makes a year? I guess a salary eighty grand, one
hundred and eighty five thousand dollars a year. Not to
mention they get stipends, allowances, and gas.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's so insane, so.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Over right, So think about this, think about this, Think
about this, think about this, think about this, think about this. Okay,
the California a California Congressional rep only makes one hundred
and seventy four thousand dollars a year. They make more
than the reps represent the state. And then you're thinking, well,
Todd Gloria can't make more than Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Can't he that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He does now makes two hundred and forty four thousand
dollars a year. I mean, I'm sorry. News makes two
hundred and forty two thousand dollars a year. Todd Gloria
two hundred and forty four thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So that's wild.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
The governor's in a fight with the president right now,
makes more than the mayor of makes less than the
mayor of San Diego.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Wow, but so you're telling me so true? Yeah, I
google it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I got check Jack least that's check out. If that's crazy,
check Jamie. Google it to double check. I got the receipt,
quadruple checked it. Maybe the information I got was wrong,
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But Quad shouldn't even be close to be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So, rather than cutting the citizens off of the knees
and screwing them out of parking, screwing them out of
fun finances, why don't we make our civil servants make
less money? Because I can't afford to live here at
this point. Can you afford to live here at this point?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
But they can't afford to live here at this point?
Tell you what I can't afford do?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So I'm saying, there's two things need to be done,
got solutions? What two things are going to be done?
Two things to be done?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And it was done though it was done on a
higher level, and it needs to be done on the
lower level. What we call up Elon Musk and we
clean the swamp? Oh wait, hold on, we're cutting this.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
On the phone with Chainsaw and his angel dust.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Let okay, the swamp, clean the swamp.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
There's here's a quote there. This is hysterical to me.
What there you're Elon Musk with? Without the money? I
would love it money. I'm also sober.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, this is funny because there's this guy, Joelkava who's
a city councilman, and they he's a bird rocker. Yeah,
they asked him, They asked him why this crazy increase?
And he and Joe said, these organizations can make their
choices about how much they charged participants and how their
(07:47):
business model works, basically saying, hey, they need to pay
up more money and how they want to handle it.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
They can go handle it. But if you're screwing jacking
up the rates for them, they have to threw you.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Joe, he's screwing us. How long has this guy been
counseling for? What's the livid on these councilmen? I want
to run for council because anybody could do it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's about it. Anybody could do it. That's a lot.
And they make riten win money to win a vote.
I'll win it. I mean, it's time we clean the swamp.
And then there's another thing too.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Has the San Diego population increased that much over the
last like fifteen years. I was reading that it really hasn't.
It's kind of stayed modest. But you know what has
increased what the parks department has gone up forty three percent.
So if the parks Department's got a forty three percent,
a lot of that extra money with that budget for
falls coming from is going to places like the government
who have too many employees. And I don't know about you.
(08:42):
When you do these adult kickball leagues, is the is
the field that nice?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
When you do your softball league, Eddy, who's setting up
the basis, who's cleaning stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Whoever works for the place, for the place.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It's not the city officials, right, because that's who we're paying,
the city officials. So why are these rates going up
so much? Who's paying this four to three percent of
the parks department. It's all backwards. I'm trying to second.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't think it's I think it is.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
You're saying that this new hike is going to bring
in two hundred million dollars in in UH to help
with the budget shortfall, which really isn't that much when
you're down two hundred and eighty five million dollars, So
you're just gonna screw people over to screw people over.
And then they're saying two hundred thousand of that million
dollars is going to go to more studies on how
to make more money off of us.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Think about this, think about that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Back it's everything is so backwards right now, and we're
just getting screwed and nothing's being done about it. So
I say we go down to city Hall on January sixth.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
January. I always say pick a different day. I gotta
do it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, we gotta do it before my baby's born, because
I can't after my baby is born. I probably I
probably have time. I probably want to have time to
do it. So we do it before baby's born. And yeah,
I'll be on dad. I'll be your dad, gang dad duties.
We do it before baby's born. We get elon musk
and we clean the swamp.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I don't know that elon. I don't like that has
to be got for cyber trucks. You got this councilman,
Joe lavaka Quick Joe specifically hanging out with this guy. Yeah,
taking advantage of the poor guy, taking advantage of the poors.
And he's a bird rocker. We got three people. We've
(10:24):
got three people to be mad at right now. Gloria
La Cava Sky, Okay, I like this. I like this, Yeah,
Gloria La Cava Guy. I don't like these leagues where
they're playing kickball and volleyball around my neighborhood. That get
out of here. Tell you right now, build a tower, Todd.
(10:45):
That's right. Hold on, I'll tell you right now to show.

the hell is going on. I do want to hear
explain it. Explain why this is going down, Laura will
tell will here? Can I sing the song? Yeah? Yes,
(11:05):
it'll be like his his his walk up song, up
song would be great. All right, we'll clear the money
makes you probably pay the band to do it for him.
That Laura blangon Brandigan and she's dead. I don't think
that's happening. I don't think that's happening anyway. All right,
And now the show is happy to bring you. I'm
pissed or have some respectors midweek milkwek oh no, oh
