00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,080 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,840 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,520 entertainment. 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:32,400 But first, you'll be interested to know 94 years ago, today in 1930. 7 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,960 Constantinople was renamed as Istanbul. 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,680 The ancient city in modern-day Turkey was first settled in the 7th century BC and Constantinople 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,240 developed into a thriving port thanks to its prime geographic location between Europe and 10 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,760 Asia and its natural harbor. 11 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,360 In AD 330, it became a site of Roman Emperor Constantine's New Rome, a Christian city 12 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,400 of immense wealth and magnificent architecture. 13 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,180 Constantinople stood as the seat of the Byzantine Empire for the next 1,100 years, enduring 14 00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:16,280 periods of great fortune and horrific sieges, until being overrun by the Ottoman Empire 15 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,320 in 1453. 16 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,160 So now you know. 17 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,440 And now you know what time it is. 18

--> 00:01:36,880 onshore by afternoon. 21 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,920 Friday brings waste to chest-high waves, with potential for head-high sets at standout spots. 22 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,880 The weekend forecast includes increasing west-northwest swell and deteriorating conditions with a 23 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,960 notable southerly wind swell on Saturday. 24 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Surf decreases into Monday, improving slightly by Tuesday. 25 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,600 Wednesday at Tormelin and South San Diego, it's looking fair at 4 to 5 feet, then tapering 26 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,600 off a bit. 27 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,800 After 12 is looking unrideable, so get out there early. 28 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,160 Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a

00:05:56,080 Let's play, too. 75 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680 Last night in local sports. 76 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,920 The Lakers on the road beat the Grizzlies 136-124. 77 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:12,200 And the Clippers, also on the road, beat the 76ers 108-107. 78 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:18,380 Tonight the Padres are at home to take on the Giants. 79 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:24,620 And in

00:06:38,160 In talk news, Amazon.com is significantly boosting its commitment to Anthropic, an artificial 82 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,760 intelligence startup with an additional $3 billion investment. 83 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:50,040 This investment increases Amazon's total stake in the company to $4 billion. 84 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Anthropic, recognized for developing advanced AI tools for text generation and analysis, 85 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,560 was established by X OpenAI employees, including siblings Daniela and Dario Amadei. 86 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,440 This collaboration not only strengthens Amazon's ties with Anthropic, but also integrates Amazon's 87 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:17,000 technological infrastructure, including Amazon Web Services and custom computer chips, into 88 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120 Anthropic's operations. 89 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Anthropic, which also collaborates with Google, has emerged as a major player in the AI sector, 90 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,400 focusing on creating chatbots like Claude, with an emphasis on safe and responsible AI 91 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280 development. 92 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:43,440 In business news, crypto stocks like MicroStrategy and Coinbase are poised for a potential short 93 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840 squeeze, according to analysts. 94 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,600 With $11 billion in total short interest focused heavily on these companies, they represent 95 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,760 84% of bearish bets in the sector. 96 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,440 The crowded nature of these short positions sets the stage for a short squeeze, where 97 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,080 a price rally could force short sellers to cover their positions, driving prices even 98 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,600 higher. 99 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Despite bearish sentiment, MicroStrategy and Coinbase have seen significant gains this 100 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,920 year challenging short sellers. 101 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Analysts highlight the risk of crowded short trades, especially as these stocks continue 102 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:29,220 to rally, possibly leading to substantial losses for those betting against them. 103 00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:34,560 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $70,000. 104 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:38,160 Ethereum is at $3,500. 105 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:44,440 And Solana is $183. 106 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,840 Moving on to a more local vibe. 107 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,840 In our

lander Moon Probe has once again astounded scientists by surviving a 119 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,320 second harsh lunar night, transmitting new images back to Earth. 120 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,200 The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency celebrated this achievement, highlighting the lander's 121 00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:00,720 resilience, despite its challenging landing angle, which misaligned its solar panels. 122 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,720 Unlike the American lander Odysseus, which failed to wake after the lunar night, the 123 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Japanese lander, nicknamed the Moon Sniper for its precision landing technology, aims 124 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,800 to explore parts of the moon's mantle exposed in a crater. 125 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:25,120 This success marks a positive turn for Japan's space endeavors following previous setbacks. 126 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:32,280 And in entertainment news, Ryan Gosling, riding high from a successful 2024, has launched 127 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:38,480 a new production banner called General Admission in partnership with Jess Henderson, a veteran 128 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,200 of Apple and Faco. 129 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,400 They secured a three-year first-look film deal with Amazon and GM Studios, focusing 130 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:53,200 on narrative features for both theatrical and streaming releases, some starring Gosling. 131 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,240 This collaboration aims to create memorable stories, leveraging Henderson's diverse 132 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,920 experience and Gosling's unique perspective as a producer. 133 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,060 This venture marks a reunion with Courtney Valenti, now at Amazon, with whom Gosling 134 00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:11,480 worked on the blockbuster Barbie. 135 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:18,420 Gosling's current projects include the Oscar-nominated Barbie and the upcoming Fall Guy, showcasing 136 00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:24,000 his continued impact in the film industry. 137 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,960 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 138 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,800 And today, in honor of opening day, our quote comes from Yogi Berra. 139 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,920 And the great Hall of Fame catcher said, love is the most important thing in the world, 140 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,400 but baseball is pretty good too. 141 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,200 And that's a wrap for this morning. 142 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,920 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 143 00:11:50,920 --> 00:12:19,080 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
