1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:13,760
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, February 23rd.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,320
we'll jump into some local news, sports, and a few interesting happenings in business

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,320
and tech.

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:34,160
But first, you'll be interested to know, 202 years ago, today, in 1822, an act establishing

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,040
the city of Boston was passed, making Boston the first town to become a proper city in

8
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Massachusetts.

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Yay, bean town!

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,400
And here's the surf report.

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Expect smaller waves in the morning around knee-to-waist high, with a new west-northwest

12
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,120
swell arriving later, boosting sizes to chest-to-head height.

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,200
Saturday sees this swell peak with knee-to-waist high surf in the morning and chest-high waves

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,920
at better spots.

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,800
The surf calms down on Sunday and early next week, but a mix of swells and onshore wind

16
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,360
could arrive midweek.

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,840
Friday in Ocean Beach and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 2 plus feet

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:30,360
before 10 a.m. with a 4-foot incoming high tide at 6 a.m. and should be glassy with no

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,360
wind.

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Best time to ride is Dawn Patrol.

21
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,360
I guarantee you catch a few little nugs if you're out there by 6.

22
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Everything after 10 is looking unrideable.

23
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,920
Air temps for the morning surf are around 52 degrees.

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,640
The first high tide Friday will be 5 and a half feet, just after 8 a.m. with a minus

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240
1-foot low tide at 3 p.m.

26
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:06,360
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads almost 61 degrees for the water temperature.

27
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,260
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

28
00:02:10,260 --> 00:02:15,160
This morning it's partly cloudy and 52 degrees with no wind.

29
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:22,880
The sunset will take place at 5.41 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.22 a.m.

30
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,440
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 73 and light wind turning

31
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,040
5 to 10 mile per hour in the afternoon.

32
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:38,700
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 54.

33
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:44,360
Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a partly sunny Saturday with a high near 70

34
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,800
degrees and light wind followed by a mostly cloudy night around 54.

35
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Sunday remains partly sunny, peaking at 66 with a slight chance of rain late at night

36
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,400
and lows near 53.

37
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Bonjour food enthusiasts!

38
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,360
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

39
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,940
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

40
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:18,720
for culinary delights.

41
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,360
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

42
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,720
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

43
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,200
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

44
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

45
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Any morning send you.

46
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:47,180
In local news, China plans to send a new pair of giant pandas to San Diego Zoo, symbolizing

47
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:50,560
renewed friendship with the U.S.

48
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,240
The move comes after most pandas on loan were returned amid strained U.S.-China relations.

49
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:04,280
San Diego Zoo, which returned its last pandas in 2019, eagerly anticipates the arrival of

50
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,480
the male and female bears pending permit approvals.

51
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,080
This gesture follows a meeting between President Saxton Jinping and Joe Biden, aiming to ease

52
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,760
tensions.

53
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,760
The female panda may be a descendant of Bai Yan and Go Go, the zoo's previous inhabitants.

54
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,480
Panda diplomacy has been a hallmark of U.S.-China relations since 1972.

55
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:37,480
The species, once near extinction, now counts over 1,800 in the wild in captivity thanks

56
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,280
to conservation efforts.

57
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:45,920
The return of pandas to U.S. zoos was uncertain last year, but recent developments signal

58
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:54,200
a positive shift.

59
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Now onto sports.

60
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic achieved a remarkable feat, recording a triple-double

61
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,320
against every NBA team except his own.

62
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,800
This accomplishment places him in an elite group, with LeBron James and Russell Westbrook,

63
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,160
who have triple-doubles against every team, including their own.

64
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Jokic's latest performance against the Washington Wizards, featuring 14 points, 16 rebounds,

65
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,120
and 12 assists solidified this record.

66
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,160
While Jokic could technically join James and Westbrook by leaving Denver, such a move isn't

67
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,720
anticipated.

68
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,000
His consistent ability to make history is a testament to his extraordinary talent and

69
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,620
impact on the game.

70
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:50,360
In the NBA last night, the Lakers on the road fell to the Warriors 128-110, and the Clippers

71
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,200
also on the road, lost to the Thunder 129-107.

72
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,520
Tonight they are back at it, with the Lakers at home taking on the Spurs and the Clippers

73
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,440
remaining on the road to play the Grizzlies.

74
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,720
In national hockey last night, the Kings lost to the Predators 4-1.

75
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,040
In top news, let's talk about something health-related.

76
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Zone 2 workouts, a low-intensity training favored by elite athletes, are gaining popularity.

77
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,280
These exercises, done at a level where you can talk but with slight effort, enhance mitochondrial

78
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:35,400
efficiency, crucial for energy production and health.

79
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,480
This method, highlighted in recent books and podcasts, aligns with our evolutionary history

80
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,000
of prolonged, moderate activity.

81
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,840
Zone 2 training, which can range from a relaxed jog to an easy bike ride, doesn't just improve

82
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:56,600
athletic performance but also offers significant health benefits.

83
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,780
It's part of a balanced fitness routine that should include diverse workouts, like strength

84
00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:04,680
and high-intensity training.

85
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,640
The method is effective for fat burning and has potential implications for longevity and

86
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:16,720
preventing diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues.

87
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:23,840
In business news, Nvidia, a leading artificial intelligence chip manufacturer, forecast a

88
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,680
remarkable three-fold surge in its quarterly revenue, far exceeding market expectations.

89
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,480
This surge, driving Nvidia's shares up 10%, is fueled by strong demand for its data center

90
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,000
chips and GPUs.

91
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,000
The company's AI chips are increasingly sought after, with major clients like Microsoft.

92
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,500
Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, Nvidia's growth highlights the significant

93
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:56,520
corporate investment in AI technology.

94
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:03,880
The company's market capitalization soared by over $129 billion, benefiting the entire

95
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,760
AI hardware sector.

96
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Nvidia anticipates a first-quarter revenue growth of 233%, surpassing Wall Street's

97
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,880
expectations.

98
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:25,040
The company's largest revenue segment, the data center, grew by 409% to $18.4 billion.

99
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Despite supply chain challenges, Nvidia continues to see robust demand, with expectations of

100
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,400
further growth as supply constraints ease.

101
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,920
This performance solidifies Nvidia's position as a central player in the AI industry.

102
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Now in crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently at $51,000, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana

103
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,080
is $101.

104
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Moving on to a more local vibe.

105
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:05,160
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

106
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,880
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

107
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,800
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

108
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

109
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040
and elevating mental well-being.

110
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,920
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

111
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,440

00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

114
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,680
And now back to the show.

115
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,680
Let's talk science.

116
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:55,400
NASA is launching an extraordinary opportunity for citizen volunteers, a year-long mission

117
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,880
in a simulated Mars habitat.

118
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,840
This mission, set to begin in spring 2025, aims to prepare for real Martian exploration.

119
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Participants will reside in Marsdune Alpha, a 1,700-square-foot, 3D-printed habitat at

120
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Johnson Space Center in Houston.

121
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,640
The experience will mimic a Mars surface mission, complete with resource limitations, equipment

122
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,040
failures, and communication delays.

123
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,320
Participants will engage in activities like simulated spacewalks, robotic operations,

124
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,120
and habitat maintenance.

125
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Applicants must be healthy, non-smoking U.S. citizens or permanent residents, age 30 to

126
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:46,640
55, proficient in English, with a STEM master's degree or equivalent experience.

127
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,440
Compensation details are provided with the application, which has a deadline on April

128
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,200
2.

129
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,760
This mission is a pivotal step in NASA's journey towards the first human journey to

130
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Mars.

131
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360
And in entertainment news.

132
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:11,400
Tyler Perry has paused his $800 million studio expansion in Atlanta, attributing his decision

133
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:17,040
to concerns over the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly open

134
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920
AI's text-to-video tool Sora.

135
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,720
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Perry emphasized the need for regulatory measures

136
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,040
to manage AI's impact on the industry.

137
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,520
While he acknowledges AI's potential benefits, as seen in his use of the technology in two

138
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:43,120
upcoming films, he expresses worry about the job losses it could cause across various sectors

139
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,320
in the filmmaking industry, from actors to technical crews.

140
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,600
Perry hopes for a balance where technological advancements and human labor could exist,

141
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,480
underlining the need for compassion and consideration for those who have built their careers in

142
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,000
the industry.

143
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,940
This decision comes amidst Perry's expanding collaboration with Netflix, highlighting his

144
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:10,200
cautious approach towards AI's growing influence in Hollywood.

145
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

146
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Today, in honor of the impending weekend, our quote looks towards tomorrow.

147
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,120
Happiness.

148
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Is not having to set the alarm for the next day.

149
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Boom.

150
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,120
There's some good news.

151
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,520
And that's a wrap for this morning.

152
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,680
Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates.

153
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:45,320
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
