Too Short is handing out passes now. We have questions. We start with "Five Letter Word" and the N-word pass conversation: who gets one, who decides, and why are we giving these things out so freely? I have a few notes.

Mac Dre finally gets his street in Vallejo, and we get into why it took so long to honor a Bay Area legend. Then it's Brooke Jenkins, proposed changes to California's pretrial detention rules, and the Pittsburg story about a gun hidden in a police-station toilet. You got all the way inside the police station, and the toilet was the plan? We also check in on Concord's police drones, because apparently there's an aerial department now.

There's a Malibu sinkhole that sends us straight into a Nicolas Cage conversation, Southern California humidity doing its best Florida impression, and the bad news out of Burning Man. We talk movie critics, influencers, and whether anybody is giving you an honest opinion anymore. We also get into reports of attacks on homeless people and the ugly chase for attention online.

Then it's Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, Gaza, and celebrity politics. We talk Trump's 9/11 story, Netanyahu and Haaretz, and New York's 9/11 air-safety records. To close it out: an AI researcher walks away, conscience enters the chat, and we have a few more questions about the people building this stuff.

Bay Area news, jokes, arguments, and occasional bad judgment. The news is real. Some of the artwork isn't. Our judgment remains under review.

San Francisco has a mansion shortage. Somehow. Abe and Lev turn a story about AI wealth and luxury housing into a rant about Daniel Lurie and the city's priorities.

Also on the table: retiring in California, PG&E, shock gloves, the Trump coin story, and whether data centers use water. With callbacks to earlier Bay Area stories and plenty of political detours, Abe finds the absurdity in who gets help—and who gets the bill.

Can a fast-food opening count as San Francisco's big comeback? Abe takes on Daniel Lurie's Jollibee moment, then gets into Mista F.A.B., fake donation bins, and Bay Area rent that makes crossing a bridge a financial decision.

Abe and Lev also discuss a woman detained at SFO, the Marin student reporter story, drive-through restrictions, stolen meat, and the episode's national and international political detours. The conversation ends with the small matter of trying to afford retirement.
