increasing wave heights throughout the week, building from waist-high surf on 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,000 Friday morning and shoulder-to-head high waves by the weekend. 14 00:00:59,000 -->

now back to the show. 101 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520 Let's talk science. 102 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,320 Dopamine drives us to undertake difficult tasks, such as marathons or challenging work 103 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,500 projects, even without immediate rewards. 104 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:53,560 This chemical messenger in our brains is linked to processing rewards and motivation. 105 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:59,700 While dopamine is often associated with pleasure-seeking behaviors like smartphone use, it also encourages 106 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,080 us to value and pursue challenging activities. 107 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Psychologist Michael Inslich calls this the effort paradox, where we sometimes prefer 108 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:17,200 hard work over easy, finding more satisfaction in tasks that require perseverance. 109 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,600 This intrinsic motivation can foster a balanced, sustainable pursuit of challenges and rewards. 110 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:35,280 And in entertainment news, Netflix will pay $150 million to air two NFL games on Christmas 111 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Day this year, featuring the Kansas City

ensuring Netflix airs at least one Christmas 114 00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:54,800 Day game in the 2025 and 2026 seasons. 115 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,920 The Chiefs, led by stars Patrick Mahones and Travis Kelce, will face the Steelers, potentially 116 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,720 quarterbacked by Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. 117 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,440 The Ravens' Texans game
