8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,100
million Americans tuned in to watch their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

9
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:46,200
This event not only showcased the Beatles' immense popularity, but also signaled a major

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,480
shift in the American music scene.

11
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,760

On Pacific Beach and South San Diego, it's another bummer of a situation.

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,760
It's 4 to 5 feet of blowout.

54
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,640
In local news, Cardiff by the Sea Lodge in San Diego recently showcased its new look

55
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,480
after a multi-million dollar renovation.

56
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,620
Part of a larger trend in the city's thriving hotel industry, this boutique hotel's makeover

57
00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:20,640
includes a refreshed exterior, rooftop deck, and updated guest rooms.

58
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:26,900
Starting in 2023, San Diego saw a surge in hotel development, with numerous new constructions

59
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:29,360
and renovations being completed.

60
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,920
The city's hotel market was marked by significant investments, focusing on luxury, sustainability,

61
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440
and modern amenities.

62
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,660
These developments, including the revitalization of this Sea Lodge, highlight the industry's

63
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:49,080
commitment to enhancing guest experiences in one of California's most popular travel

64
00:04:49,080 --> 00:05:01,280
destinations, catering to the growing demand in both tourism and business sectors.

65
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,280
Now onto sports.

66
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:11,040
Jose Altuve, star of the Houston Astros, has just signed a five-year extension worth $125

67
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,520
million, ensuring he remains with the team through his age 39 season.

68
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,480
This deal marks a significant milestone in Altuve's career, already notable for his

69
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,800
exceptional achievements.

70
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Over 13 years, Altuve has notched a 307 batting average, over 2,000 hits, 295 stolen bases,

71
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,040
and 209 home runs.

72
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,640
His impressive record includes eight All-Star appearances, six Silver Sluggers, three batting

73
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,880
titles, a Gold Glove, and an MVP.

74
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,800
In postseason performance, Altuve stands out with 27 home runs and 89 runs scored, ranking

75
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,500
second all time.

76
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:01,760
This contract solidifies Altuve's place in Astros history and underscores his potential

77
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,480
Hall of Fame trajectory.

78
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,160
No sports in SoCal last night, but tonight, in the NBA, the Clippers are at home to take

79
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:21,280
on the Pelicans.

80
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:26,640
Sell at reducing human anxiety and improving mood.

81
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,760
Human studies have highlighted the unique way dogs offer comfort and support, often

82
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,080
surpassing human interaction in stressful situations.

83
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,240
For instance, dog owners show smaller increases in blood pressure and heart rate during stress

84
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,760
tests when their pets are present, compared to those accompanied by a spouse or friend.

85
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,160
This calming effect is attributed to dogs' nonjudgmental support, their ability to read

86
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,880
human emotions accurately, and their consistent, unconditional love.

87
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,600
Additionally, speaking to dogs about emotional issues can be therapeutic, as they listen

88
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240
without judgment or interruption.

89
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,860
This interaction not only provides a sense of purpose and security, but also helps in

90
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:16,120
emotional processing, offering a safe space for expression.

91
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:22,120
This canine-human bond, backed by psychological and physiological evidence, underscores the

92
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,840
unique and beneficial role dogs play in human well-being.

93
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,200
In business news, Toyota Motors hybrid vehicle sales are skyrocketing, leading to a record

94
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,680
$30 billion net profit forecast for the fiscal year.

95
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,660
This surge is driven by the growing U.S. preference for hybrids over electric vehicles, due to

96
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:47,440
concerns about charging and cost.

97
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040
As a result, Toyota's shares have soared.

98
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,560
With hybrids outselling electric vehicles in the U.S., the company, a pioneer in hybrid

99
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,840
technology, is reaping the benefits of this shift in consumer preference.

100
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,280
This trend has also influenced other automakers like General Motors and Ford to focus more

101
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760
on hybrid models.

102
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,820
Despite lagging in electric vehicle sales, Toyota's leadership in hybrids continues

103
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:17,160
to strengthen its market position.

104
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:28,120
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is at $43,000, Ethereum is about $2,375, and Solana is almost

105
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,560
$97.

106
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,960
Moving on to a more local vibe.

107
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,880
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

111
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200
and elevating mental well-being.

112
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,080
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

113
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,360
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

116
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,000
And now back to the show.

117
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Let's talk science.

118
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:33,080
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, a groundbreaking project, has completed its mission.

119
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,560
Initially part of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, it was added in May 2018, designed

120
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,400
to survive 30 days and fly five missions.

121
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Ingenuity exceeded expectations by lasting nearly three years and completing 72 flights.

122
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Its last flight occurred on January 18, 2024, after which damage to one of its rotors was

123
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,800
discovered.

124
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,120
This innovative craft, weighing about four pounds on Earth, required unique design solutions

125
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
due to Mars' thin atmosphere.

126
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,320
Ingenuity's successful mission has paved the way for future space exploration, marking

127
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,680
a significant achievement in interplanetary aviation.

128
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:26,000
And in entertainment news, in a groundbreaking move, Disney's ESPN, Fox Corporation, and

129
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,400
Warner Brothers Discovery are collaborating to launch a comprehensive sports streaming

130
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,240
service.

131
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,160
This platform, set to debut in the fall, will feature a vast array of sports content, including

132
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:50,680
NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and FIFA World Cup games, as well as NASCAR, USC, and PGA Tour Golf.

133
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,900
Each company holds a one-third ownership in this venture.

134
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:58,200
The pricing and name of the service are yet to be announced.

135
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,920
This initiative represents a significant shift in the media landscape, with traditional

136
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,520
broadcasters adapting to the growing trend of streaming, challenging dominant players

137
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,840
like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple.

138
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,980
The new service aims to cater to the increasing number of consumers moving away from traditional

139
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:23,760
cable subscriptions, offering a diverse range of live sports events in one accessible location.

140
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,740
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

141
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,760
And today, our quote comes from Paul McCartney.

142
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,680
The Beatles' frontman said,

143
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,200
I'll give you all I've got to give.

144
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,200
If you say you love me too.

145
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,920
I may not have a lot to give, but what I got, I'll give to you.

146
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,380
I don't care too much for money.

147
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,560
Money can't buy me love.

148
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,560
And that's a wrap for this morning.

149
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:55,720
Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates.

150
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:03,120
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
