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 Wednesday, May 15th.

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 --> 00:00:23,680
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,360
But first, you'll be interested to know 84 years ago, today in 1940.

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,920
In San Bernardino, California, brothers Morris Mack and Richard McDonald opened a drive-in

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,520
restaurant that gave rise to the fast food chain McDonald's.

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,400
So now you know.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,240
And now you know what time it is.

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,280
It's time for the surf report.

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,560
Expect fun-sized waves this week, ranging from thigh-to-waist high to chest-to-shoulder

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,120
high with occasional larger sets.

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,280
The consistent southwest swell will provide cleaner conditions in the mornings thanks

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,440
to light offshore wind.

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:15,440
However, as the day progresses, expect wind to shift onshore, increasing to 10-15 mph and

17
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,400
creating bumpier conditions, especially in the afternoons.

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 2-3 feet

19
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,200
until noon.

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,440
After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset.

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:40,320
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2.5-foot outgoing tide when the south-southwest swell

22
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,400
is 2 feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is 2 mph.

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,240
The first low tide Wednesday will be 1 foot just after 11 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,240
at 6.

25
00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:02,040
The near shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 65 degrees for the water temperature.

26
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,920
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

27
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,640
This morning it's cloudy and feels like 60 degrees with 3-mile-per-hour wind.

28
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,320
The sunset will take place at 7.40 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.48.

29
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,200
It looks like we're in for some patchy drizzle and fog before 11.

30
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:31,400
And it will be mostly cloudy with a high near 67 and wind of 5-10 mph.

31
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Tonight cloudy with a low of 58.

32
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Looking ahead in the weather.

33
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 68 degrees after morning fog clears.

34
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Patchy fog is possible Thursday night through Sunday night.

35
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,220
Friday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 68.

36
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:59,840
This weekend will be mostly cloudy with highs near 68.

37
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Saturday and Sunday will gradually become sunny.

38
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

39
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,200

41
00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:21,400

You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

44
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,680
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

45
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

46
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Sunny mornings send you!

47
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,240
In local news, the San Diego County Fair is embracing a nostalgic theme this year titled

48
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Let's Go Retro.

49
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,920
Running from June 12 to July 7, at the Delmar Fairgrounds, the fair will offer a dive into

50
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,940
the past, spanning from the 1950s to the millennium.

51
00:04:01,940 --> 00:04:06,880
This 20-day event is packed with activities ranging from animal showcases to thrilling

52
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,560
rides, games, live music and more.

53
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,000
The fair is not only a hub of entertainment, but also a significant employment opportunity,

54
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,640
with over 1,000 temporary jobs available across various roles.

55
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Whether you're into ticket-taking, directing traffic or guest services, there's a place

56
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,560
for you.

57
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:39,280
Record applicants can start applying now, with positions paying starting at $16 an hour.

58
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,360
Now on to sports.

59
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:47,000
The NFL quarterback market continues to soar, with potential new contracts pushing the limits

60
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,760
towards $60 million annually.

61
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Following Jared Goff's lucrative deal of $212 million over four years, other quarterbacks

62
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:04,040
like Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa are poised to negotiate significant

63
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:10,200
contracts, possibly reaching or exceeding $50 million a year.

64
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,240
That Prescott is also in discussions for a substantial extension.

65
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,840
The trend reflects the rising salary cap and the increasing importance of quarterbacks

66
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,840
in the league's strategic plays.

67
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:28,200
As negotiations progress, these quarterbacks are likely to further elevate the salary standards

68
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
for their position.

69
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Rockies 6-3, and they close

70
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,760
out the series this afternoon in a getaway game as they head to Atlanta for their four-game

71
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,600
series starting Friday.

72
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,720
And top news, according to Fitch Ratings, homes in 90% of major U.S. metropolitan areas

73
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,840
are currently overvalued, with the most significant price increases occurring in the southern

74
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,160
states including Tennessee, Arkansas and South Carolina.

75
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:14,000
As of the end of 2023, homes nationwide were overvalued by 11%.

76
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Despite a recent increase in home listings, suggesting a move toward market normalization,

77
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:25,080
high mortgage rates and escalating home prices continue to challenge the housing market.

78
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,320
The 30-year mortgage rate averaged 7% as of early May.

79
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:37,280
Fitch anticipates that home price growth could decelerate significantly in 2024.

80
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:45,200
In business news, U.S. digital bank, Chime, is introducing a new financial product, MyPay,

81
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:52,200
which allows customers early access to up to $500 of their wages before payday.

82
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,560
This product aligns with the growing trend in earned-wage access services that cater

83
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,280
to Americans who need funds between paychecks, especially gig workers and freelancers.

84
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,200
MyPay will operate without mandatory fees, interest or credit checks, relying on historical

85
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,400
wage data to estimate available amounts.

86
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,480
As Chime prepares for a potential public offering in the near future, CEO Chris Britt views

87
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:26,980
MyPay as both a way to enhance customer engagement and a strategic move to attract new users.

88
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:32,320
This launch comes amid ongoing regulatory discussions on whether EOASH should be classified

89
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,800
as a loan, which would impose stricter regulations.

90
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,720
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $61,500.

91
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Ethereum is $2,800.

92
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,320
And Solana is $142.

93
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Moving on to a more local vibe.

94
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,700
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

95
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:04,880
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

96
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

97
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension

98
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,520
and elevating mental well-being.

99
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

100
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:29,200
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

101
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,440
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla and more.

102
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,560
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

103
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,920
And now back to the show.

104
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Let's talk tech.

105
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:51,620
Google is set to enhance its Gemini 1.5 Pro AI model by doubling its context window to

106
00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:59,440
2 million tokens, a move that significantly expands the model's data processing capacity.

107
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,120
This increase allows the AI to analyze and remember more information for longer periods,

108
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,040
enhancing the quality of interactions and responses.

109
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,880
The term tokens refers to segments of data, like words or parts of words, that the AI

110
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,720
uses to understand and generate language.

111
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,380
A larger context window enables the AI to handle more complex queries and provide more

112
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:32,360
detailed responses, potentially transforming how users interact with Google's technologies.

113
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,320
This update, still in private preview for developers, marks a significant step in AI

114
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:45,360
development, aiming toward infinite context, where AI could access and utilize an unlimited

115
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,360
amount of data.

116
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:55,840
And in entertainment news, Only Murders in the Building returns for its fourth season

117
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,080
with an exciting new teaser.

118
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:05,440
Set to premiere on Hulu on August 27, the B'Lod series takes its trio, Martin Short,

119
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez, to Los Angeles.

120
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,320
This season revolves around a Hollywood studio's interest in making a film about their podcast,

121
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,720
amidst their investigation into the latest murder.

122
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:25,020
The plot thickens as they question who the true target was, leading to more mystery and

123
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:27,680
intrigue back in New York.

124
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:33,640
The cast is joined by stars such as Meryl Streep and Eugene Levy, enhancing the already

125
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680
dynamic ensemble.

126
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:42,040
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

127
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,920
And today, our quote comes from the great comedian Martin Short.

128
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,920
He said,

129
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,440
My natural state is to be happy.

130
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,840
I'm naturally buoyant.

131
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,240
I wake up feeling, what a great morning.

132
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,640
I had some tragedy in my life, absolutely, but I don't know one human being who hasn't.

133
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,480
You either learn from it and become empowered by it, or you become a victim to it.

134
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,380
It's life after all.

135
00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:16,000
And that's a wrap for this morning.

136
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,080
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

137
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,560
with local news and the surf reports.

138
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,440
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

139
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:56,000
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
