northwest swells on Tuesday. 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,240 Conditions are a bit rough with onshore south wind, but there's promise of chest to head 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,840 highways, especially at spots favoring longer periods. 29 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,760 Wednesday brings more size. 30 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Look forward to a potential upswing in conditions by Thursday, with more consistent swells and 31 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,160 a warmer weekend ahead. 32 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,560 In Pacific Beach and South San Diego, it's another yikes, and it's 3 to 4 feet of nothing 33 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,920 but chop suey. 34 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,000 Stay tuned to the end of the show for some Netflix recommendations to get you through 35 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,180 the rainy week. 36 00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:30,320 The first high tide Tuesday will be 5 and a half feet around 6 a.m., with another high 37 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,520 tide around 8 p.m. 38 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:42,760 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59.5 degrees for the water temperature. 39 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880 Looking ahead in the weather. 40 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160 I'm sorry to report more rain. 41 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,480 We'll see a wet and windy Wednesday, with thunderstorms possible before 11 a.m. and continued 42 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,380 showers reaching a high near 59 degrees. 43 00:02:57,380 --> 00:03:01,480 The evening brings scattered showers and a low around 49. 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,440 Thursday and Friday also feature scattered showers with highs near 59 and mostly cloudy 45 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,440 skies. 46 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Nights will be cooler, dropping to the upper 40s. 47 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,800 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 48 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,400 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 49 00:03:22,400 -->

00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,960 In local news. 57 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:03,160 San Diego Opera has set to stage Mozart's classic opera Don Giovanni with a modern twist. 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Directed by Kyle Lange, the production will see characters in contemporary attire and 59 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,960 settings. 60 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,640 It deviates from traditional presentations, featuring interactive elements like singers 61 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,200 moving around the audience and innovative use of projections. 62 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,200 This approach aims to attract new, younger audiences and adapt to reduced budgets in 63 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,940 the opera industry. 64 00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:32,120 The story, rooted in the tale of Don Juan, explores themes of power and morality. 65 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,240 Lange, who recently settled in San Diego, brings a fresh perspective to this centuries-old 66 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,520 opera, emphasizing a more personal and immersive experience for viewers. 67 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:53,400 The opera is now open at the San Diego Civic Theater. 68 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,400 Now on to sports. 69 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,360 Badi Witt Jr., the Kansas City Royals' standout shortstop, has signed a groundbreaking 11-year 70 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,440 contract extension worth $288.7 million. 71 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,680 This deal, potentially extending to 14 years and almost $400 million, is the largest in 72 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,360 Royals' history. 73 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,340 It reflects the team's commitment to building a competitive team around Witt, who delivered 74 00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:26,800 a spectacular 30-home run and 49 stolen base season. 75 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,060 The contract includes player opt-outs and a no-trade clause, underscoring Witt's importance 76 00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:36,040 to the franchise and its future ambitions. 77 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:43,240 In the NBA last night, the Lakers on the road beat the Hornets 124-118, and the Clivers 78 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:50,920 also on the road beat the Hawks 149-144. 79 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,600 In top news, scientists are raising concerns about Nissin, a common antimicrobial preservative 80 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,320 found in foods like beer, cheese, and sauces. 81 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:08,120 Nissin, a natural product of bacteria, functions as an antibiotic, effectively controlling 82 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,960 foodborne diseases. 83 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,120 However, recent studies suggest it might also harm beneficial gut microbes. 84 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,560 These good bacteria play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and mental health. 85 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,600 Eliminating them can disturb gut balance and potentially allow harmful bacteria to proliferate. 86 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Research shows both good and bad gut bacteria are susceptible to Nissin's effects. 87 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,200 While these impacts seem reversible, with gut microbiome populations returning to normal 88 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,320 within days of Nissin consumption, the broader implications on gut health are still under 89 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,480 investigation. 90 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:54,520 This finding is significant considering the widespread use of Nissin in food preservation. 91 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,040 Now on to business news. 92 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,560 Palantir Technologies projects a strong profit in 2024, exceeding Wall Street predictions 93 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,440 thanks to high demand for its AI products. 94 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,520 This forecast marks its first profitable year, with shares increasing over 19%. 95 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,240 The company's growth is driven by a significant rise in U.S. commercial revenue, up 70% to 96 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:30,560 $131 million, and the closing of 103 deals, over $1 million each in the fourth quarter. 97 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Despite a slowdown in government revenue growth, Palantir's total commercial revenue of $284 98 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160 million surpassed expectations. 99 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:49,680 The company's 2024 profit is forecasted between $834 and $850 million, indicating 100 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,400 sustained AI-driven success. 101 00:07:53,400 --> 00:08:01,760 In crypto, Bitcoin was briefly up today, but is now back safe and sound at $42,700, Ethereum 102 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:10,760 is about $2,300, and Solana is down to about $95. 103 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Moving on to a more local vibe. 104 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,080 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 105 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,400 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 106

00:08:48,560 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 111 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:53,840 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 112 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,960 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 113 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,920 And now back to the show. 114 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Now let's talk science and tech. 115 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,720 After 141 years of debate, scientists from New York University have solved the reverse 116 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:17,520 sprinkler problem, a question that has intrigued physicists since 1883. 117 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,840 And a question originally posed by Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, and later popularized 118 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:29,760 by Richard Feynman, asked, what direction would a water-sucking sprinkler spin? 119 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,820 Using custom-built sprinklers with ultra-low friction rotary bearings, the NYU team conducted 120 00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:42,120 experiments to observe the fluid dynamics inside and outside the sprinkler. 121 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,360 They found that a reverse sprinkler spins counterclockwise, albeit 50 times slower than 122 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,080 a normal, water-ejecting sprinkler. 123 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,480 The research published in Physics Review Letters revealed that when water is sucked in, the 124 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,520 sprinkler acts like an inside-out rocket. 125 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,560 The water jets, instead of colliding head-on due to the curved arms of the sprinkler, cause 126 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,560 a slow counterclockwise rotation. 127 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,360 This study is more than just solving a long-standing physics puzzle. 128 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,280 It has practical implications for understanding sustainable energy sources, such as wind, 129 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,960 ocean waves, and river currents. 130 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:28,360 And now, as promised, some movie suggestions, based on our favorites, with Jim Carrey. 131 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,280 In this exploration of Carrey's cinematic journey, we delve into five unique films, 132 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:40,160 starting with The Truman Show from 1998, which stands out for its insightful critique of 133 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:47,680 celebrity culture, featuring Truman Verbank, unknowingly the star of a massive TV show. 134 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:54,240 Then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from 2004 offers a poignant and imaginative 135 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,840 take on relationships, where Clementine erases memories of her ex-boyfriend. 136 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Liar Liar, released in 1997, showcases Carrey's physical comedy as a dishonest lawyer whose 137 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,000 life spirals out of control. 138 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,320 And The Mask, 1994, combines Carrey's dynamic performance with a fantastical story of a 139 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,320 timid bank clerk who finds a magical mask. 140 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:28,760 Lastly, you know it, Dom and Dumber, another great movie from Carrey in 1994. 141 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,140 With Harry and Lloyd, two friends lacking in wisdom but rich in friendship, their adventure 142 00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:40,480 begins in Providence, embarking on a cross-country trip to Aspen, Colorado. 143 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,560 Their mission? 144 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:46,840 To return a briefcase full of money to Mary Swanson, its rightful owner, who Harry and 145 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Lloyd find captivating. 146 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:54,040 The journey is anything but smooth, filled with comical mishaps. 147 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,260 Upon reaching Aspen, the duo discovers that the challenges involving Mary and the briefcase 148 00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:03,760 are just the tip of the iceberg in their amusing escapade. 149 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360 Dom and Dumber never fails to cheer me up. 150 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,360 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 151 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,400 And today our quote comes from the gang in the Sandlot. 152 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,400 It was signed by Babe Ruth! 153 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,920 Yeah, yeah, you keep telling me that... 154 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,920 Who is she? 155 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,920 What? 156 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,920 What? 157 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,440 The Sultan of Swat! 158 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,440 The King of Crash! 159 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,440 The Colossus of Clout! 160 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,440 The Colossus of Clout! 161 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,440 Babe Ruth! 162 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:41,080 The Great Bambino! 163 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,960 And that's a wrap for this morning. 164 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 165 00:12:46,280 --> 00:13:03,040 Have an amazing day my good friends!
