00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,520 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,520 science. 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:34,640 But first, you'll be interested to know, 154 years ago, today, in 1872, Yellowstone 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,240 National Park, a designated World Heritage Site, was established by U.S. Congress as 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,520 the country's and the world's first national park. 9 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,360 And now it's time for the surf report. 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Friday will start slower with a mix of smaller swells, picking up a fresh, northwest swell 11 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,080 later. 12 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,920 On Saturday and beyond, anticipate a storm system bringing a northwest swell mix, but 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,560 also onshore wind and sloppy conditions. 14 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,880 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, there's a small window of rideability from 15 00:01:14,880 -->

00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,680 wave until Tuesday morning. 18 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,280 But we'll keep you posted if anything changes. 19 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:38,880 Best time to ride is at 8, when the southwest swell is 1 foot at 16 seconds, with a 1 and 20 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,400 a half foot incoming tide. 21 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:49,400 The first low tide Friday will be 1 foot at 6.45 a.m. with a 2 foot high tide just before 22 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,240 5. 23 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,280 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature. 24 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,920 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area. 25 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,880 This morning it's cloudy and 55 degrees with no wind. 26 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,600 The sunset will take place at 5.46 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.14 a.m. 27 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,880 It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day with a high near 64 and light north

00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,200 Sunday caps off the weekend with the Food and Wine Festival at Lake House Resort, featuring 59 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:55,080 tastings from local restaurants, breweries, and wineries alongside live music. 60 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,400 San Diego Restaurant Week begins, offering a chance to explore diverse cuisines with 61 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:09,800 prefixed menus across the county. 62 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,040 Now on to sports. 63 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,320 I guess it's true. 64 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,120 Everything good does come to an end. 65 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,440 The Philadelphia Phillies have discontinued their longstanding $1 hot dog night, a decision 66 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:29,700 driven by their commitment to ensuring a positive fan experience at Citizens Bank Park. 67 00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:35,480 For over 25 years, this promotion was a fan favorite, offering affordable snacks during 68 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,480 games. 69 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:43,120 However, recent events, including fans throwing the hot dogs and other safety concerns, have 70 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960 led to its cancellation. 71 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,440 In place of the dollar dogs, the Phillies will offer a two-for-one hot dog deal on select 72 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,480 dates in April. 73 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,260 This change reflects the organization's effort to manage crowds more effectively and maintain 74 00:05:59,260 --> 00:06:02,440 a family-friendly environment. 75 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,440 What a bummer. 76 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Now you'll have to buy two hot dogs at the same time, just so you can throw them. 77 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:17,920 In the NBA last night, the Lakers, at home taking on the Wizards, won in overtime 134-131. 78 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,240 And tonight, it's the Clippers' turn to face the Wizards. 79 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,660 In national hockey last night, the Kings were on the road and beat the Knucks 5-1. 80 00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:32,600 The Ducks were also on the road and beat the Sharks 6-4. 81 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Tonight, the Ducks are at home taking on the Devils. 82 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,320 In top news, aging doesn't have to mean a steep decline in physical and mental health, 83 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:51,080 according to longevity-focused physician Dr. Peter Attia. 84 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:57,060 In his book Outlive, The Science and Art of Longevity, the author explores how proactive 85 00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:02,580 measures can significantly enhance life quality in later years. 86 00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:08,440 He emphasizes training over mere exercise, advocating for a deliberate approach to maintaining 87 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,760 fitness across decades. 88 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,240 This concept is encapsulated in the centenarian decathlon, where individuals tailor their 89 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,800 fitness goals to life's practical challenges. 90 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Attia's Performance Center, 10 Squared, aims to equip people for these challenges through 91 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,280 focused training in strength, stability, and cardio. 92 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,360 However, Attia also highlights the importance of emotional health. 93 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Underscoring that happiness and relationships are crucial at any age. 94 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,920 His work suggests that both physical and emotional well-being can flourish with age, provided 95 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920 there's consistent effort towards them. 96 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:59,000 In business news, Major League Pickleball and the Professional Pickleball Association 97 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,800 have finalized their merger, marking a significant step for Professional Pickleball. 98 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,580 This unification ends months of negotiations and hostilities, creating a combined force 99 00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:13,280 in the sport. 100 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,840 A substantial $75 million investment accompanies the merger, involving notable entities like 101 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:28,040 SC Holdings and other individual investors, such as Altilus and Town Dundon. 102 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,920 While retaining their distinct brands, the leagues will operate under a new holding company, 103 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,380 aiming to streamline and enhance Professional Pickleball. 104 00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:44,520 The merger promises a richer calendar of events and significantly increased payouts for players, 105 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,960 nearly 250% higher than last year. 106 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,640 However, amidst this advancement, players express concerns over unpaid earnings from 107 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,520 past tournaments. 108 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,520 This consolidation is poised to benefit players, fans, and sponsors, promising a more coherent 109 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,120 and exciting future for the sport. 110 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:16,560 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently over $61,000, Ethereum is over $3300, and Solana 111 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,680 is $126. 112 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,400 Moving on to a more local vibe. 113 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:31,400 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 114 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,600 to bring you some free classes, so

--> 00:10:09,640 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 122 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,840 And now, back to the show. 123 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,040 Let's talk tech. 124 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,440 Researchers at Armit University in Australia have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed 125 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:28,960 titanium they call metamaterial that could revolutionize the engineering field. 126 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,920 Inspired by the natural structures of plants and coral, this metamaterial addresses the 127 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,640 long-standing challenge of metal alloys cracking under pressure. 128 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:45,320 The team's innovative design features lattice-like structures with hollow struts, enhanced by 129 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,320 a thin band to evenly distribute stress, avoiding weak points. 130 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,880 Utilizing advanced powder bed fusion technology, they created a material that outperforms traditional 131 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,920 alloys in strength and temperature resistance. 132 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,180 This new material not only withstands more weight, but also high temperatures, making 133 00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:14,240 it ideal for aerospace engineering and potentially firefighting drones. 134 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,240 Its hollow structure is also seen as beneficial for human bone implants, promoting cell regrowth 135 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560 and integration with the body. 136 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:29,600 Although not yet widely accessible, technological advancements may soon allow broader application 137 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,080 of this transformative metamaterial. 138 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:42,040 And in entertainment news, Warner Brothers executives Michael DeLuca and Pam Addy are 139 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:48,480 making bold moves, courting big names like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, and eyeing 140 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,000 Quentin Tarantino's next project. 141 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,220 In a strategic partnership with Tom Cruise, they discussed potential projects, including 142 00:11:57,220 --> 00:12:03,600 a sepal to Edge of Tomorrow and Tarantino's The Movie Critic. 143 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Their aggressive strategy includes attracting A-list directors and stars, underlined by 144 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:15,880 a non-exclusive deal with Cruise and a lucrative contract for DiCaprio's next film. 145 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,920 Warner Brothers is also granting unusual concessions, like copyright returns to directors, signaling 146 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,440 a willingness to spend, to secure top talent. 147 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,680 This approach is part of a broader strategy, potentially aimed at enhancing Warner Brothers 148 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:36,240 of value ahead of possible corporate sales or mergers. 149 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 150 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,200 And today, our quote comes from the always motivating Chuck Norris. 151 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,600 And Mr. Norris said, 152 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,840 A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. 153 00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,480 But you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one. 154 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,480 Don't give up. 155 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,480 We're almost there. 156 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,240 And that's a wrap for this morning. 157 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 158 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:25,800 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
