Indiana Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks with a decisive 120-98 61 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,520 victory in Game 6, despite Damian Lillard's return and team-high 28 points. 62 00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,280 The Pacers showcased a strong performance led by Obie Toppin with 21 points and TJ McConnell's 63 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,640 vital 20 points. 64 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,160 They now await the winner of the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers series to determine 65 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,260 their next opponent. 66 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:14,640 The Bucks, on the other hand, struggled with injuries throughout the series, impacting 67 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:21,240 their performance and ultimately contributing to their early exit from the playoffs. 68 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,480 In local sports, tonight, the Padres are on the road in Arizona to take on the Diamond 69 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:36,760 Bucks, and the Clippers are on the road in Dallas for Game 6, taking on the Mavericks. 70 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:44,160 On top news, Block, led by CEO Jack Dorsey, has announced a new initiative as part of 71 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,080 its first quarter earnings. 72 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,600 The payments firm is using 10% of its monthly Bitcoin-related gross profit to purchase additional 73 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Bitcoin throughout 2024. 74 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,960 This strategy, which began in April, could potentially add $24 million in Bitcoin to 75 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,160 its balance sheet by year's end, based on first quarter profits. 76 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,640 Already holding a substantial amount of Bitcoin, Block has also released a Bitcoin blueprint 77 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,680 for corporate balance sheets, detailing its acquisition and management strategies for 78 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,080 crypto assets. 79 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,000 This blueprint offers guidance on purchasing large Bitcoin amounts without impacting market 80 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,940 prices, along with information on custody, insurance, and accounting for these assets. 81 00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:40,360 On business news, Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, reported a significant 82 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,000 revenue increase of 72% in the first quarter, reaching over $1.5 billion and surpassing 83 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,820 analysts' expectations. 84 00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:56,840 The surge in revenue, which resulted in a net income of just over $1 billion, was driven 85 00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:02,480 by a rise in transaction volumes linked to a broader market upswing. 86 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,320 Former transaction revenue nearly doubled, and institutional trading saw substantial 87 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400 growth with volumes more than doubling. 88 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,000 Additionally, the quarter witnessed an all-time high in Bitcoin prices, contributing further 89 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,560 to Coinbase's financial success. 90 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Despite these gains, transaction expenses also rose sharply by 73%, reflecting the costs 91 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,160 associated with increased trading activities. 92 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:39,640 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $59,000, Ethereum is just under $3,000, and Solana 93 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,160 is $138. 94 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Moving on to a more local vibe. 95 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,740 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 96 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:57,920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 97 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Check out Club Pilates, with several

00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,280 And now back to the show. 105 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200 Let's talk science. 106 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,560 May's night sky promises a splendid display for astronomy enthusiasts. 107 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,920 The Etta Aquarids meteor shower, originating from Halley's Comet, will peak on May 5, 108 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,800 offering up to 30 meteors per hour in dark sky locations. 109 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,520 This shower is notable for its broad peak, providing excellent viewing opportunities 110 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,280 a week before and after the peak date. 111 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:09,000 Additionally, the constellation scene shifts as we transition from spring to summer stars. 112 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,960 Key highlights include the Big Dipper, which acts as a navigational guide to other stars 113 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,760 in constellations like Polaris and Regulus. 114 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,680 As the month progresses, the moon phases from its last quarter to a full flower moon on 115 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,200 May 23, illuminating the night with this seasonal bloom. 116 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,160 For planetary sightings, Saturn will be visible in the early morning sky, enhancing the celestial 117 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,160 experience. 118 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:45,960 And in entertainment news, The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch, premiered in March at the 119 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,980 2024 South by Southwest Film Festival, where it received high praise from critics. 120 00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:59,000 The film, known for its daring stunts, officially opens in U.S. theaters today. 121 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,320 It features a groundbreaking stunt that broke the record for the longest canon role, a record 122 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,120 previously held since the 2009 film Casino Royale. 123 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,460 Ryan Gosling described the day of the stunt as, extremely tense. 124 00:10:15,460 --> 00:10:20,960 The film is expected to be a hit, so audiences are advised to get their tickets early, especially 125 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,240 for IMAX showings. 126 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:29,600 Later it will be available on streaming services, likely Peacock, as it is distributed by Universal 127 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,600 Pictures. 128 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 129 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,760 And today, our quote comes from Michael Saylor. 130 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,000 He's one of Bitcoin's biggest proponents, and he's also the CEO of the publicly traded 131 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,260 company MicroStrategy. 132 00:10:49,260 --> 00:10:53,120 His company has nearly 8 billion dollars invested in Bitcoin. 133 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,080 And he once said this about the world's most valuable cryptocurrency. 134 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets, serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire 135 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,720 of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted 136 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,720 energy. 137 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,680 And that's a wrap for this morning. 138 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:22,400 You can check out our Instagram,
