1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, May 14th.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,800
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,520
But first, you'll be interested to know 51 years ago, today, in 1973.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,480
Skylab, America's first space station and the first crewed research laboratory in space,

8
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:41,240
lifted off on a last Saturn V rocket.

9
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,560
Although the Soviet Union orbited the first experimental space station called Salyut in

10
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:55,160
1971, the larger and more complex Skylab enabled research in several areas.

11
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040
So now you know.

12
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880
And now you know what time it is.

13
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,880
It's time for the surf report.

14
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Expect fun-sized waves this week, ranging from thigh-to-waist high to chest-to-shoulder

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,720
high with occasional larger sets.

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,960
The consistent southwest swell will provide cleaner conditions in the mornings, thanks

17
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,240
to light offshore wind.

18
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:29,240
However, as the day progresses, expect wind to shift onshore, increasing to 10-15 mph

19
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,000
and creating bumpier conditions, especially in the afternoons.

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,140
It's looking fair at 2-3 feet until 10 a.m.

22
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,600
After that, it's looking pretty rough.

23
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Could be similar conditions all week.

24
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,720
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot outgoing tide, when the west-northwest swell

25
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,920
is 2 feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is 4 mph.

26
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,200
The first low tide Tuesday will be 0 feet just after 10 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,840
just before 5.30.

28
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:18,960
A nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 65 degrees for the water temperature.

29
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,880
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

30
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,440
This morning it's cloudy and feels like 60 degrees with 2-mile-per-hour wind.

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,280
The sunset will take place at 7.40 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.49.

32
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,600
It looks like we're in for a cloudy morning, then gradually becoming mostly sunny with

33
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,680
a high near 68 and wind of 5-10 mph.

34
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Tonight cloudy with a low of 57.

35
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,160
Looking ahead in the weather.

36
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Wednesday will be cloudy with a high near 67 degrees.

37
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,000
Patchy fog is possible Wednesday night through Friday night.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Thursday and Friday will be cloudy with highs in the upper 60s.

39
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Saturday will start cloudy with patchy fog, then gradually become mostly sunny with a

40
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,480
high near 68.

41
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

42
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,360
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

43
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,820
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

44
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:33,600
for culinary delights.

45
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

46
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,960
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

47
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,920
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

48
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,360
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

49
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Sunny mornings send you!

50
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,020
In local news, San Diego City Council has approved a significant initiative to create

51
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:06,080
a vast network of electric vehicle charging stations citywide.

52
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,720
This move will support the rise in electric vehicle ownership by ensuring chargers are

53
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:18,080
accessible in every city library, recreation center, and beach within two years and in

54
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,680
all city buildings within five years.

55
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,280
The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate the transition from a 5,000

56
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,900
vehicle gas-powered fleet to electric alternatives.

57
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:36,400
This expansion aligns with the city's broader climate goals, which include a shift towards

58
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:48,720
zero-emission vehicles for both light and heavy-duty city vehicles by 2035.

59
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Now on to sports.

60
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Jared Gough's stanchel $212 million contract extension with the Detroit Lions is a strong

61
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:05,360
signal of the team's confidence in his leadership and ability to pursue a Super Bowl title.

62
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,960
This deal, which secures Gough as the highest-paid player in franchise history, is not just a

63
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,840
financial commitment but also a strategic move aligning with the Lions' ambitions

64
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,680
to solidify their quarterback position and bolster their roster for long-term success.

65
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Under Gough's guidance, the Lions achieved significant milestones last season, including

66
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:35,360
reaching the NFC Championship game, showcasing his impact and justifying this lucrative renewal.

67
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,000
The organization's investment underscores their belief in Gough's potential to lead

68
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:48,040
the team to further successes and possibly secure their long-awaited championship glory.

69
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Rockies 5-4.

70
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:03,200
And tonight, the Padres are at home for game two of three with the Rockies.

71
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,320
And top news, Red Lobster, a popular seafood restaurant chain, is currently undergoing

72
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,740
a massive liquidation of dozens of its locations.

73
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:19,760
This development follows abrupt closures and involves the auctioning off of entire restaurant

74
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,320
contents including furniture, fixtures and equipment.

75
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,860
At least 48 locations are being liquidated through this process across 21 states.

76
00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:36,140
This situation unfolds amid financial struggles for Red Lobster, with reports earlier this

77
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:41,400
year about potential bankruptcy considerations due to high lease and labor costs.

78
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,000
The union group, the controlling stakeholder, is also looking to sell its share in the chain

79
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,120
by the end of 2024.

80
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,640
This liquidation marks a significant scale back for a brand that operated around 650

81
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,780
locations as recently as February.

82
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:06,960
And business news, Vinfast, a Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, saw its stock price

83
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:14,040
surge by 52% to nearly $5 a share, marking its largest single-day gain since a previous

84
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560
spike shortly after becoming a publicly traded company.

85
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,280
This increase occurring without specific news to drive it aligns with broader trends in

86
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,360
the EV sector and a noticeable rise in main stock activity, which often moves independently

87
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,760
of traditional market fundamentals.

88
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:38,980
High short interest and sector momentum, including gains by other EV companies, likely contributed

89
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:41,320
to this surge.

90
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Despite the recent uptick, Vinfast stock remains down 46% year-to-date, reflecting ongoing

91
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:55,080
challenges such as heightened competition and slowing demand in the EV market.

92
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,840
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now over $62,400.

93
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Ethereum is $2,900.

94
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,920
And Solana is $146.

95
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Moving on to a more local vibe.

96
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,240
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

97
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,400
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

98
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,480
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area.

99
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

100
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,080
and elevating mental well-being.

101
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,420
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

102
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:47,720
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

103
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

104
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,120
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

105
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,800
And now back to the show.

106
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800
Let's talk tech.

107
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Tesla has made headlines again with a series of controversial decisions, including the

108
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,840
massive layoff of its supercharging team, amidst a broader reduction that even affected

109
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
summer interns.

110
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,680
This move suggests a strategic shift potentially focusing more on developing its rogo taxi

111
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:29,280
services rather than expanding its supercharging network, which has been crucial for EV owners.

112
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Amidst these developments, Tesla's partnerships with Ford and GM over supercharging remain

113
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,280
unchanged, indicating that the impact of these decisions might be more nuanced within the

114
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280
broader EV market landscape.

115
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,480
And in entertainment news.

116
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Steve Carell has expressed his excitement about the upcoming series set in the office

117
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,320
universe, but confirmed he will not be returning as Michael Scott.

118
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,160
At the premiere of his new movie, IF, Carell shared his enthusiasm for the new show, which

119
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,600
will revolve around a family-owned newspaper company, praising its innovative concept and

120
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,520
the involvement of actor Dom Nal Gleason.

121
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,320
Although he won't appear in the series, Carell is currently collaborating with John Krasinski

122
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:25,840
on the film, where Krasinski serves as both writer and director.

123
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Carell highlighted Krasinski's directorial skills and expressed joy in reuniting with

124
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,840
him professionally and personally.

125
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,220
The new series will feature a fresh cast and is scheduled for release on Peacock, continuing

126
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:43,520
the legacy of the beloved original show.

127
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,200
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

128
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:56,520
And today, our quote comes from the star of the US version of The Office, Steve Carell.

129
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,000
He said,

130
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Children are very smart in their own stupid way.

131
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:09,160
A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.

132
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,800
And that's a wrap for this morning.

133
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,960
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

134
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360
with local news and the surf reports.

135
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

136
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:43,240
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
