Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, June 27th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
Today is National Bingo Day. Bingo, which originated in Italy, is descended from the
Italian National Lottery, played since 1530.
It was then popularized by New York toy salesman Edwin Lowe, who discovered the game at a fair
in Jacksonville, Georgia in 1929.
Lowe recreated the game, for friends, naming it Beano, until one day a friend excitedly
shouted bingo.
A similar version, Housy Housy, was also played in the UK.
The national bingo game, using 90 numbers, links between 120 and 180 clubs.
Over 3 million people in the UK play bingo regularly.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.

NBC has convinced legendary broadcaster Al Michaels to embrace an artificial intelligence
version of his voice for Olympics coverage.
This AI voice will narrate daily recaps of the summer event on Peacock.

voice is both his livelihood and legacy.
NBC trained the AI on his past appearances, ensuring it captures his unique delivery and
intonations.

Let's talk science.
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, on its first crewed flight, has left two NASA astronauts,
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, in limbo on the International Space Station.
Initially, an eight-day mission, the astronauts launched on June 5th, but are now expected
to return in July due to technical glitches.
Despite issues like helium leaks and thruster failures, NASA assures that Starliner can
safely return in an emergency.
The spacecraft is certified to dock for 45 days, but various systems might extend its
stay up to 72 days.
NASA is closely monitoring the situation, prioritizing safety and mission management.
And in entertainment news, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA is celebrating its 40th anniversary,
and it's back on the charts.

Despite a brief break due to vocal issues, they have been touring Europe.
Springsteen will make up for rescheduled shows in South Philadelphia on August 21st
and 23rd.
His album has re-entered the UK chart at number 56, and sales are also up in the United States.
The European tour wraps up at Wembley Stadium on July 27th.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Boss, Bruce Springsteen.
And he said,
War creates an enormous sense of self, and I saw that in my mother.
She was an enormous, towering figure to me, in the best possible way.
I picked up a lot of things from her in the way that I work.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
