1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,600 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,640 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, March 8th. 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,360 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:23,320 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech, 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,320 and science. 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,240 But first, you'll be interested to know, today is International Women's Day. 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,880 Hooray for women! 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:40,360 The day focuses on empowering women and showing appreciation for all that they have accomplished. 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,120 And now that we know, you know what it's time for. 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,280 That's right, it's time for the surf report. 11 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,120 Friday brings a clean-up and surf conditions with a fresh northwest swell mixed, declining 12 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560 throughout the day. 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Expect varying conditions from waist to head high early, becoming more rideable as the 14 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,760 tide drops. 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:11,160 Wind shift from light east-southeast to moderate west-northwest, influencing afternoon surf 16 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,320 quality. 17 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,360 The weekend sees continued northwest swells with occasional fun corners, especially with 18 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,040 the new south-southwest swell rolling in. 19 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,440 Early next week, small to fun-size waves are forecasted, thanks to active storms in the 20 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880 Gulf of Alaska. 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,720 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's 4 to 5 feet for the morning, then tapering 22 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480 off in size quickly. 23 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,200 Best time to ride is before 10 a.m., and there's not much hope after that. 24 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Get out there for dawn patrol and catch the incoming high tide. 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,240 You'll get a nice western swell that's 4 and a half feet at 11 seconds with 6 mile 26 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,360 per hour offshore wind. 27 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,840 Nice. 28 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,760 The first high tide Friday will be 6 feet at 7 a.m. with a minus 1 and a half foot low 29 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000 tide at 2. 30 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:14,280 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature. 31 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,000 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area. 32 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,120 This morning it's partly cloudy and 53 degrees with no wind. 33 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,800 The sunset will take place at 552, and it will rise again tomorrow at 605. 34 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,400 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 65. 35 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,080 Night wind becomes 5 to 10 mile per hour in the afternoon with gusts as high as 20. 36 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,680 Tonight partly cloudy with a low around 51. 37 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Looking ahead in the weather. 38 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:55,000 Expect a sunny weekend into Monday with highs in the mid 60s and light northwest wind. 39 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,120 Nights will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with lows in the low 50s. 40 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,120 No rain. 41 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,120 Zang. 42 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,820 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 43 00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:12,480 This podcast is brought to you by

for culinary delights. 46 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 47 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Stop and grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 48 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,320 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 49 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,800 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 50 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Sunny mornings send you. 51 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:50,700 In local news, Boundless Bio, a San Diego-based biotech startup, has filed to go public, marking 52 00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:55,700 the first life science IPO in the city this year. 53 00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:01,440 After a venture capital surge in 2021, the U.S. market has slowed, facing challenges 54 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,040 like high interest rates and supply chain issues. 55 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,200 Yet recent trends show a selective uptick in dealmaking. 56 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,020 Boundless Bio specializes in developing cancer therapies targeting DNA, linked to certain 57 00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:22,260 cancers with a novel approach to prevent cell mutation into tumors. 58 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:27,680 The company's focus is on hard-to-treat oncogene-amplified tumors, offering hope to 59 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,940 patients not responding to existing treatments. 60 00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:38,600 With a pipeline of three cancer drugs, a diagnostic test, and a proprietary platform, Boundless 61 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,440 Bio aims to address unmet needs in cancer treatment. 62 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,640 Despite not disclosing share price or stock amount, it plans to trade on the NASDAQ under 63 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,520 the ticker BOLD. 64 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,520 Now on to sports. 65 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Jake Paul is set to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated match in Texas 66 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,800 this July, marking a significant moment in crossover boxing events. 67 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Despite Mike Tyson's last professional fight being almost 20 years ago, the 57-year-old 68 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,840 will face a much younger opponent in Paul, who has quickly become one of boxing's most 69 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,960 talked-about figures. 70 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:30,360 Paul, with a 9-in-1 record, rose to fame in the boxing world after a viral knockout of 71 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,600 Nate Robinson, and now aims to test his skills against Tyson, who was once dubbed the baddest 72 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,040 man on the planet. 73 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,200 This event, described by Paul as potentially the biggest fight in history, showcases his 74 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,880 ambition to become a world champion and will be streamed live on Netflix, leveraging the 75 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,920 platform's massive reach. 76 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,460 No B-ball in Southern California last night, but tonight the Lakers are at home taking 77 00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:06,160 on the Bucks, and Saturday afternoon the Clippers are at home playing the Bulls. 78 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,940 Last night in national hockey, the Kings at home beat the Senators 4-3, and tonight the 79 00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:18,560 Ducks are at home skating against the Dallas Stars. 80 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,460 In top news, Bitcoin has surged to a new all-time high, buoyed by recent ETFs endorsements despite 81 00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:33,160 its inherent risks, including the possibility of Satoshi Nakamoto, its enigmatic creator, 82 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,200 returning. 83 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,380 Satoshi, who vanished after 2011, controls a vast number of early Bitcoin wallets, amounting 84 00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:47,320 to over 1 million Bitcoins, according to Chainalysis. 85 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:54,200 Speculations about Satoshi's return have reignited, fueled by a mysterious $1.2 million 86 00:06:54,200 --> 00:07:01,560 deposit into one of their wallets and a UK trial seeking to uncover their identity. 87 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,520 The debate over Satoshi's identity persists, with some believing in the involvement of 88 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:13,480 libertarian Nick Szabo and a cryptographer Hal Finney in Bitcoin's creation. 89 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,760 The likelihood of Satoshi revealing themselves is slim, given their ideological commitment 90 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:25,440 to Bitcoin's decentralization and the practical dangers of coming forward. 91 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,680 Concerns also center on what would happen to Satoshi's $75 billion fortune upon their 92 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:38,040 death, raising questions about market impact and the potential for a dead man's switch. 93 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,800 Experts argue that, while a mass sell-off by Satoshi could disrupt the market, Bitcoin's 94 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:50,120 resilience and increased decentralization would ultimately strengthen it. 95 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:58,080 In business news, the S&P 500 achieved its 16th record high this year, signaling optimism 96 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,880 on Wall Street, buoyed by the prospect of eased interest rates. 97 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,040 Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's hint at potential rate cuts later this year has 98 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,960 fueled investor enthusiasm, despite the Fed's cautious approach to inflation data. 99 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,140 This potential monetary policy shift comes after criticism of the Fed's delayed response 100 00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:26,740 to rising inflation, with discussions focusing on the timing of rate reductions to avoid 101 00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:29,520 economic slowdown. 102 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,920 Recent reports suggesting a reduction in inflationary pressures and improvements in worker productivity 103 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:43,720 have contributed to a positive outlook, influencing Treasury yields and stock market dynamics. 104 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,500 In the job market, a forthcoming report is anticipated to reflect a balance between a 105 00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:56,640 robust employment sector and conditions favorable for the Fed's rate-cut considerations. 106 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,760 Fed earnings, notably Kroger's surprising profit and Nvidia's continued rise due to 107 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,960 AI technology interest, have also played a role in market trends, contrasting with some 108 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,740 companies' less optimistic forecasts. 109 00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:19,400 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently over $67,000 and steadily climbing. 110 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Ethereum is nearing $4,000 and Solana is $145. 111 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Wow, what a week! 112 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Moving on to a more local vibe. 113 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:40,520 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 114 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,720 to bring you

La Jolla, and more. 121 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,760 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 122 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,880 And now back to the show. 123 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880 Let's talk tech. 124 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,900 TikTok has mobilized its extensive user base in a direct confrontation with Congress, aiming 125 00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:35,880 to derail a bill that seeks to sever the app's ties to China. 126 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,760 The company issued alerts to users specifically targeting those whose representatives are 127 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,360 on the Energy and Commerce Committee, urging them to oppose what it described as a potential 128 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,680 U.S. fan. 129 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:55,240 This bill, necessitating bite dance to divest TikTok or face exclusion from U.S. app stores, 130 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,360 has prompted mixed reactions from congressional offices, with some dismissing the calls as 131 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360 lacking substance. 132 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,080 Despite TikTok's efforts, the committee unanimously voted to advance the bill, illustrating the 133 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:15,080 app's contentious standing and the government's intent to regulate its influence and operational 134 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,720 ties. 135 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,280 The situation reflects ongoing debates over digital privacy, foreign influence, and the 136 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:28,480 balance between national security and free speech within the broader context of U.S.-China 137 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,880 relations. 138 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:40,680 And in entertainment news, Bob Marley, One Love, the musical biopic, surpassed expectations 139 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:47,680 at the box office, drawing in $52 million over its opening holiday stretch, and is nearing 140 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:52,680 $150 million globally after three weeks. 141 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:58,200 Despite mixed critical reviews, audiences responded positively, awarding the film an 142 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:04,400 A for Cinema Score, a validation that resonated with Ziggy Marley, the film's producer and 143 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Marley's son. 144 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,040 The film's success echoes Bob Marley's own experience with music critics, underscoring 145 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,680 a historical pattern where the public's reception diverges from critical appraisal. 146 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:23,560 Caramount's strategic marketing and the film's authentic portrayal of Marley's life and 147 00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:30,080 music have been key factors in its success, showcasing the universal appeal of Bob Marley's 148 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,120 legacy. 149 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,720 The success of One Love reflects a growing audience demand for genuine storytelling and 150 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:44,680 musical biopics, potentially influencing future projects within the genre and broader cinematic 151 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,480 narratives focused on stories of color. 152 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 153 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,200 And today, in honor of National Women's Day, here's a quote from one of the funniest women 154 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,200 alive. 155 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,160 I must have had at least eight in my mouth. 156 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,160 I couldn't talk. 157 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,160 I couldn't talk. 158 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,160 Why'd you have to eat so many? 159 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,160 Because they're jujji fruit. 160 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,160 I like them. 161 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:17,160 I didn't know it would start a chain reaction that would lead to the independent publishing. 162 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,560 Not to mention the end of Kramer's coffee table book. 163 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:21,560 You knew he had a cold. 164 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,520 How'd you expect him to blow his nose? 165 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,120 You know what's going on here? 166 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,120 Can't you see what's happened? 167 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120 I've become George. 168 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Don't say that. 169 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,120 It's true. 170 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,120 I'm George. 171 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,120 I'm George. 172 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,400 You ought to watch out for those jujji fruit. 173 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,840 We love you, Julia. 174 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,120 Have a great weekend, everyone.
