A September-November to Remember

In San Diego, the best “summer” starts after Labor Day. Clifton and Shay break down why locals call it San Diego Summer—that golden stretch from September to Thanksgiving when the crowds thin, the weather stays perfect, and Mission Bay turns into your backyard playground. From Crown Point vibes and surprise bike-parade soundtracks to SeaWorld fireworks, the Thunder Boats, and a newly beloved Belmont Park, the crew shares the rituals and discoveries that make fall the locals’ season. They also cross the border (literally) to talk CBX, quick hops to Mexico City and Oaxaca, and yes… the infamous “Hong Kong all-you-can-eat Chinese” bit. Plus, an Unpopular Opinions showdown: Jack in the Box vs. In-N-Out (prepare your DMs). Petco Park praise, tide talk, and the joy of booking InsideOUT a month in advance—this one’s pure San Diego living.
