Mike, Eddie and the crew learned that San Antonio had edged San Diego out as the seventh-largest U.S. city by only 969 residents, which set off a sustained argument about civic pride and population boundaries. They were further irritated that San Antonio's median house cost was cited at $133,000 while San Diego's was above $600,000. A caller moving to San Antonio argued that its River Walk beat a now-boring San Diego, while the hosts championed the Pacific, beaches and nearby snow and desert, then mockingly offered to help him leave. P1 Dan welcomed fewer newcomers, Mark said he fled San Antonio after two months, and P1 Jessa capped the rivalry by discovering a cat-themed shop on a local attractions list as the cast's San Diego tourism pitch dissolved into deliberately misplaced world landmarks.
What happened, in order
San Diego Falls to Eighth
Mike, Eddie and the crew react to census figures showing San Antonio passed San Diego by only 969 residents and argue over what the city count really measures.
The Housing Price Sting
The hosts contrast San Diego's roughly $600,000 median home price with San Antonio's $133,000 figure before challenging a caller who says he is moving to Texas for pleasure.
River Walk Versus Ocean
The departing caller says San Diego has become boring and touts the River Walk, while the hosts counter with the Pacific Ocean, beaches and other San Diego attractions.
Help Him Pack
The crew mock-angrily offers to pack the caller's belongings and forward his mail, while P1 Dan argues that departures could give native San Diegans their city and freeways back.
A San Antonio Survivor
Mark says he lasted only two months in San Antonio, prompting more jokes about the River Walk before the hosts recall Phoenix previously knocking San Diego out of sixth place.
San Diego's Everything Pitch
Mike and the others defend San Diego by listing beaches, Mission Bay, surfing, snow and desert access, then stretch the pitch by claiming increasingly distant attractions.
The Impossible City Tour
The cast turns the tourism argument into an absurd tour that relocates Mount Rushmore, Tokyo, the Great Wall, the pyramids, Stonehenge and other world landmarks to San Diego.
Cats, Cats, Cats
P1 Jessa searches a San Antonio community guide and delights the crew by finding a prominent attraction devoted to cat shirts and cat-themed chess pieces.

San Antonio has just replaced San Diego as the seventh most populated city in the U.S., making us now number eight. Oh, really? We're still better than those idiots. Whoa! That's not a sports team. Well, it still makes me mad. I don't want to be number eight. We're better than San... Who wants to live in San Antonio? Dude, five years ago, we were number six. Now, how do you feel? What is going on? Yeah. What is this list for? I thought they were moving here and not moving out. For big... Population? Right. Come on. It's the new census figures. San Antonio. Doesn't that bother you? It really pisses me off. It bothers me. Because it's not true. Eddie, they said that 8,276 people moved out of San Diego in 05. And 21,420 people moved into San Antonio. But listen to this. Oh, really? Well, this is what's so annoying about- Just be on the merge at about 5 o'clock and let me know if that's true. This is what's so annoying about San Antonio being number seven and us being number eight. Their population is 1,256,000. Ours is 1,255,000. We lost it by 1,000 people. Like a neighborhood in La Mesa. 969. Short. Yeah. Does that suck or what? Well, what are they counting again? Is this San Diego County? So that doesn't mean like North County and stuff. Yeah.
Are you sure? San Diego County includes North County. No, it's not county, it's city. The most populated city. So they're talking about San Diego City, San Antonio the city. Yeah, there's no way that that's... Yeah, and you know what makes it even worse? What? The median price for a single family home in San Diego, just over $600,000. The median price for a house in San Antonio, $133,000. That's so jacked up, man. Idiots. That's the greatest city in the world, though, man. San Diego's the greatest city in the world. Yeah, they said some cities in the county that showed a lot of growth this time around were Chula Vista, San Marcos, and Carlsbad. So those are still growing strong. Mikey Show. Yeah, hey, this is P1 Center. I'm moving to San Antonio today. Are you? Why? Well, you guys got to talk smack about San Antonio. What are you moving there for? Huh? What are you moving there for? Pleasure. Pleasure. We're there for pleasure parties, Mike. Want to get a plastic pickle in San Antonio. Is it cool there? Like, what's so pleasurable about it? Yeah, why are you moving there for pleasure? Like, what pleasure? What's your pleasure? Say what? It's way better than San Diego. Tell me how. Are you stupid? Tell me how. Tell me how.
Dude, I've lived here for 15 years. I've moved from El Paso, Texas since I was three. I've lived here for 15 years, and it just gets boring after a while. Boring. All right, go ahead.

Don't ever come back. I'm not kidding. Get out. Get out, San Antonio. Drown in the river walk. Go drown. Dude, you're sitting here telling me that San Antonio is a better city than San Diego. You're high on drugs. Get out of your mind. You're so dumb. Are you mad at me? P1 Dan. Hey, I say let them all go. Who cares how big San Diego is? Let the natives like us have our city back. Yeah, the natives like us. Our freeways back. We don't want them. Thanks for the memories. We came to do a show for very little dough. By little, I mean, I could make more working on Skid Row. Get out. Thanks for the memories. Yeah, douche. That's right. Kill them all and let God sort them out. No, Sean. I didn't mean that. That's not even close. Hear, hear. Hear, hear. I thought that's what you meant.

He did not like it there. Yeah, that's a guy from San Antonio. Jackass. He's drinking the water in that river walk. That nasty sludge green water. It's so beautiful. Smells like poop. San Antonio. Dumb. That's where Clear Channel headquarters are. Exactly. Point taken. So we were dethroned just five years ago from the sixth place spot by Phoenix. Come on with that. What do you think of Phoenix, Eddie? Why are you pointing at Mike? You want to hear about Phoenix? For the memories.
You a fan of Phoenix, Mike? Yeah, I love it. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to San Antonio, home of the Alamo. Oh, wow. Remember the Alamo. We have the NBA Spurs here.

That's right. Hey, be sure and catch Sears Tower while you're here in San Diego. The great city, San Diego. Look at the Golden Arch. It's McDonald's, actually. See? And if you want to go to Coronado, check out the Golden Gate Bridge. That's right. It's beautiful. Don't forget about the Great Pyramids. That's right. They're big. They're giant, built in 1925. Wait, what? And let's not forget about the wondrous Stonehenge. That's right. I think it's in Carlsbad. Built by a secret society of... Gardeners. Wait a second. Home to Ryan Seacrest. Wait. What the F? What the hell is she talking about? Birthplace of the Roman Empire. They had the Jewish Inquisition here. Isn't the Survivors Museum here? The Holocaust Survivors Museum, I believe, stands out.
In the gas lab. It's so sad. It's so sad. I can barely go. I can't go through it. Without crying. Every time I go through it, I have to get so drunk. It becomes funny. It's so sad with all those shoes. Yes. I believe it's on fourth and Z. Well, there is no. Never mind. All right. What are you talking about? Ballsy. You've got the save code, Pike. Okay. The Trans-American Pyramid Building. Check out an Oilers game here. We also have the biggest population of blacks and Mexicans. What? And homosexuals. I don't even get that. Lots of gay bathhouses here in SD. Home of the Queer, that's our motto. San Diego's National Flower, the Queer. San Diego. Known for its barbecue. How I love her. Home for a place of the blues.

Mikey show. Yeah, go ahead. Don't forget to visit Red Square. When that chink stood in front of the tank right there on Broadway, wouldn't get out of there with a stood there. It was on 163, remember? Yeah, remember? That game was on 163. The tank came down. And the guy stood in front of that tank at 163. Everywhere the tank tripled. Remember? Come on. It was like, oh, this is it. It was like, no, you will not take the... Can't see chinks on the radio, though, actually. Didn't.
But you remember, right? This is P1 Jessa. What's up? Okay, so I put in Yahoo San Antonio, Texas to see what comes up. And there's like a community website called Heart of San Antonio. And it lists all of the top sites that you want to go see when you're in San Antonio. And the best seafood in the gas nap. Shut up! The second thing on a list is a thing called Cats, Cats, Cats. Oh, I'm moving. Click on it. It is a store with, like, cat t-shirts and cat chess pieces. Dude, San Antonio sounded better. That is the best that San Antonio has to offer. Well, that's pretty awesome, man. Thanks for the memory.
