1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,400
But first, you'll be interested to know, 18 years ago, today, in 2006, Twitter co-founder

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,160
Jack Dorsey sent the first public tweet, which read,

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,200
Just setting up my Twitter.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,480
Twitter was also co-founded by Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, evolving from

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,600
the failed podcast company Odeo.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:33,520
Dorsey, inspired by dispatch software, conceptualized Twitter, launching it in 2006.

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Glass, contributing the name Twitter and Stone, brought the creative direction.

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:46,840
Williams, with a tech background, also co-founded the website called Medium.

9
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Their collaboration transformed Twitter into a global communication platform.

10
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,120
Wow.

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,400
Maybe someday 20 years from now, there'll be a similar story about a fledgling podcast

12
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,000
where the first words were,

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,320
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

14
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:12,160
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Thursday, March 21st.

15
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,120
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

16
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,160
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and

17
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,440
entertainment.

18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,440
But first…

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,560
Oh, I got you there.

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,960
And now you know what time it is.

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:37,560
It's time for the surf report.

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Despite a slower pace in the medium term, forecasts suggest a more active pattern towards

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,600
the end of March in the southeast Pacific.

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Potential development of storms in both the eastern and western parts of the basin next

25
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840
week could impact local surf conditions.

26
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Keep an eye out for updates as the systems evolve.

27
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,720
until 10 a.m., but it's fair until noon, with some rough stuff after that from high

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,720
wind and a low tide.

30
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,800
Best time to ride is Dawn Patrol with a 4.5 foot incoming tide when the southwest swell

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:27,160
is 1.5 feet at 17 seconds and the northwest wind is 2 mile per hour.

32
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,240
The first high tide Thursday will be about 5 feet just before 8 a.m. with a minus half

33
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,360
foot low tide at 2.40.

34
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:43,640
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature.

35
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:47,520
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

36
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,860
This morning it's mostly cloudy and 55 degrees with no wind.

37
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:59,560
The sunset will take place at 7.01 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.48.

38
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,160
It just keeps getting better and better.

39
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,680
It looks like we're in for some clouds through mid-morning, then gradual clearing with a

40
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,440
high near 70.

41
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,920
South wind 5 to 10 mile per hour becoming west in the afternoon.

42
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:21,560
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 53.

43
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Looking ahead in the weather.

44
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:30,480

47
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:48,280

48
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Monday shines mostly sunny, with a high near 63 degrees.

49
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,440
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

50
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,080
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

52
00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:12,480
for culinary delights.

00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,920
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

56

So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

57
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,860
Sunny mornings send you!

58
00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:35,760
In local news.

59
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:42,000
The San Diego Padres have significantly reduced their opening day payroll for the 2024 season

60
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:52,320
to approximately $157 million, a sharp decline of nearly $92 million from the previous year.

61
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,560
This adjustment follows the departure of several key players and a strategic shift towards

62
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:06,880
integrating homegrown talent, keeping the team below the $237 million luxury tax threshold.

63
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Despite this, the Padres have managed to maintain a competitive roster, with Zander Bogart's,

64
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Joe Musgrove and Hugh Darvish as their top earners, showcasing a blend of strategic financial

65
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,400
planning and talent management aimed at sustaining the team's competitiveness in a more economical

66
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:32,560
manner.

67
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Now on to sports.

68
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,480
During the NCAA tournament, certain players have the potential to significantly boost

69
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,640
their NBA draft stock.

70
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Cale Blugg's exceptional season in Arizona could propel him into the draft's early rounds

71
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,640
if he showcases his shot-creating skills and leadership.

72
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Cam Spencer's defensive prowess and all-around game at Yukon might make him a surprise draft

73
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,440
riser.

74
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Kentucky's Justin Edwards, with his late-season surge, could climb draft boards with his wing

75
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,560
versatility.

76
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Demal Shedd's playmaking and leadership for Houston emphasizes his potential to spite

77
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200
his size.

78
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Harrison Ingram at North Carolina has thrived, showing versatility and improved passing.

79
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,680
Oso Aigadaro from Marquette could see his stock rise with his face-up game and agility

80
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,940
for a big.

81
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:36,440
And finally, Auburn's Johnny Broom, with his energy and versatile play, could be pivotal

82
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,360
for his team and his draft prospects.

83
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost their opener in South Korea to the

84
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Dodgers' Pive Tattoo.

85
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,440
And the Clippers on the road lost to the Trailblazers 103-116.

86
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Also, the Kings at home beat the Wild 6-0.

87
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:11,480
In top news, Micron Technology experienced an 18% surge in stock price following impressive

88
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:18,200
fiscal second-quarter earnings and optimistic guidance fueled by AI-driven demand.

89
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,200
The company exceeded expectations with earnings of 42 cents per share and revenue of about

90
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,720
$6 billion.

91
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:34,180
CEO Sanjay Marotra anticipates further price increases in memory and storage markets, projecting

92
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:42,880
significant revenue and profitability growth in fiscal 2025, with shares reaching $114

93
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,800
in after-hours trading and a notable 12-month increase of over 60%.

94
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,680
Investors are encouraged to watch for potential future support around the $98 level, a previous

95
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,560
resistance point.

96
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:04,160
In business news, for those aiming to bolster their investment portfolio with dividend income,

97
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:12,560
high-yielding S&P 500 dividend stocks offer a compelling blend of risk and return.

98
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,840
These stocks come from companies across various sectors, reflecting the diverse nature of

99
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,000
the U.S. economy and its leading enterprises.

100
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Among them, AT&T, Veitchee Properties, and KeyCorp stand out for their substantial dividend

101
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,440
yields, backed by robust business models and strategic market positions.

102
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,840
Real estate investment trusts, like Veitchee Properties, benefit from regulatory requirements

103
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,560
to pay high dividends, enhancing their appeal to income-focused investors.

104
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:54,720
However, it's crucial to recognize that dividends from trusts are taxed as ordinary income.

105
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Bummer.

106
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,880
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $68,000.

107
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,320
Ethereum is at $3,500.

108
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,600
Solana is $191.

109
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Moving on to a more local vibe.

110
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:22,040
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

111
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,280
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

112
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

113
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,560
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

114
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,560
and elevating mental well-being.

115
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:44,440
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

116
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,800
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

117
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

118
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

119
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,000
And now, back to the show.

120
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,760
Let's talk science.

121
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,200
Researchers claim to have discovered a massive volcano on Mars, taller than Mount Everest,

122
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,220
and stretching over 280 miles.

123
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:21,800
This finding, presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas, suggests the

124
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:28,320
volcano could be ancient, potentially revealing insights into Mars' volcanic past, and even

125
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
hints of microbial life.

126
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,880
Named Noctus, after the region, Noctus Lagarinthus, where it's found, the discovery stems from

127
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,120
the observation of what appears to be eroded volcanic features, challenging the notion

128
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,080
that we've identified all major volcanic structures on Mars.

129
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,360
While the claim has sparked intrigue, it also faces skepticism due to the heavily eroded

130
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,000
terrain, making definitive identification challenging.

131
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Another study is necessary to confirm whether this structure is indeed a colossal Martian

132
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,600
volcano.

133
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,200
And in entertainment news.

134
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,680
In Sleeping Dogs, Russell Crowe plays Roy Freeman, a former detective grappling with

135
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:20,520
dementia, and we've got some strong opinions bubbling up.

136
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,080
The film attempts to weave a complex, neo-noir mystery around Roy's deteriorating mental

137
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:32,240
state, but ultimately falls into a sluggish pace and convoluted narrative that leaves

138
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,720
viewers disengaged.

139
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,000
Despite the talent involved, including Karen Gillan and Harry Greenwood, the film's execution

140
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,280
fails to captivate, with its most intriguing plot twists feeling underwhelming.

141
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:52,360
Crowe's performance stands out, yet the movie's lack of momentum and overuse of visual tricks

142
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,880
to convey Roy's confusion do more to hinder rather than enhance the storytelling.

143
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

144
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,840
And today I have a quick story to tell.

145
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Sir Dave Ralesford revolutionized British cycling with a marginal gains theory focusing

146
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:21,200
on enhancing every aspect of cycling by just 1%.

147
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:28,040
This strategy led to dominating performances in the Olympics and Tour de France victories.

148
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:34,120
The approach emphasized continuous improvement and paying attention to small details, which

149
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,240
cumulatively resulted in significant performance enhancements.

150
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200
So do you think you can do it?

151
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,600
Just improve 1% once a week or once a month?

152
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,080
I bet you can.

153
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,360
So have a great day everyone and see if you can nab your 1% improvement.

154
00:12:52,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Okay?
