00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,080 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:22,120 Thirty-six years ago, today in 1988, Wayne Gretzky, a Canadian hockey player, was traded 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:28,440 from the Edmond and Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings, a deal that shocked the sports world 6 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,320 and stunned his home country where he was a national icon. 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,000 This monumental trade changed the landscape of professional hockey and highlighted Gretzky's 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,520 immense impact on the sport. 9 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,600 So now you know. 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,800 And now it's time for the Surf Report. 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,680 Expect a mix of waist-to-chest high waves from the South Southwest on Friday morning 12 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,800 fading to stomach-high sets in the afternoon. 13 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,840 Mornings will be glassy with light onshore winds less than five miles per hour. 14 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,440 Over the weekend, swells drop to knee-to-thigh high with semi-glassy conditions in the mornings 15 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:19,040 and semi-bumpy afternoons as winds range from five to ten miles per hour. 16 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,320 By Monday, expect a slight build in the knee-to-thigh high Southwest swell with semi-glassy mornings 17 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:32,720 and semi-choppy afternoons, winds increasing to ten to fifteen miles per hour. 18 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,960 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 19 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:41,240 It's looking clean in the morning until ten at two to three feet. 20 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,840 Then it ratchets up a bit at three-plus feet in fare until sunset. 21 00:01:46,840

00:03:08,760 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 36 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,760 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 37 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,880 Nestled on El

local news, the Padres are currently the hottest team in Major League Baseball. 45 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,340 Since the All-Star break, San Diego has gone 13-3, the best record in the majors during 46 00:03:58,340 --> 00:03:59,340 this span. 47 00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:04,360 Here are five reasons why this success is sustainable. 48 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,200 First, their bullpen shortens games, allowing high-leverage relievers to rest while maintaining 49 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120 strong performance. 50 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,680 Second, the offense fits well together, highlighted by Donovan Solano's impactful signing. 51 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Third, they are built for October with a deep bullpen, versatile lineup, and strong rotation. 52 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:33,040 Fourth, they could improve further with Joe Musgrove and possibly you, Darvish, returning. 53 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,620 And lastly, the team's positive vibes and camaraderie are palpable, creating an enjoyable 54 00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:45,080 winning environment. 55 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,520 Now on to sports. 56 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,100 The United States men's basketball team triumphed over Serbia in a thrilling semifinal, securing 57 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,320 a 95-91 victory. 58 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,760 Steph Curry dazzled with 36 points on 12-19 shooting. 59 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:10,160 Kevin Durant and Devin Booker ignited a fourth-quarter rally with consecutive three-pointers, changing 60 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,520 the game's momentum. 61 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,440 The United States will now face France for the gold medal at 9.30 p.m. local time on 62 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Saturday. 63 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,200 LeBron James praised Curry's performance, saying, 64 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,080 "...it was only a matter of time before he had one of these games." 65 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:35,960 Serbia's Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic led their team with strong performances. 66 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:43,920 In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Pirates 7-6. 67 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:51,480 And tonight, the Padres are on the road in Miami to take on the Marlins. 68 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:58,440 In top news, Les Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, is reaping benefits from 69 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,320 a $1 million seed investment in Atlantic crypto, now known as CoreWeave. 70 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,400 His family trusts Stake and CoreWeave, which is valued at $19 billion, has ballooned to 71 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,040 $720 million. 72 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,840 This investment, initially advised by Florence Capital Advisors, is now under legal scrutiny. 73 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:27,800 CoreWeave, once a struggling cryptocurrency miner, evolved into a major AI cloud service 74 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,800 provider. 75 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,680 Wexner's real estate moves, including land sales to tech giants, have further solidified 76 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,480 his financial standing. 77 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:45,000 In business news, the California wine industry is facing turmoil as one of its largest companies, 78 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Vintage Wine Estates, filed for bankruptcy. 79 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,760 The company plans to lay off its entire California workforce and delist from the stock market 80 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,960 just three years after going public. 81 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,360 Despite broader industry struggles, many issues were unique to Vintage, including its rushed 82 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,740 public listing through a special purpose acquisition corporation in 2021. 83 00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:15,520 Financial reporting errors, lawsuits and leadership changes further compounded its problems. 84 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,360 The industry may now see a disruption in merger and acquisition cycles, with Vintage's assets 85 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,960 hitting the market at discounted prices. 86 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,520 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $61,400. 87 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Ethereum is just under $2,700. 88 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,240 Solana is $160. 89 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Moving on to a more local vibe. 90 00:07:43,880 -->

court has ordered the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX to pay $12 billion and $700 million 102 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,440 in relief to its customers, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 103 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:53,960 FTX misled customers with an illusion that it was a safe and secure place to access crypto 104 00:08:53,960 --> 00:09:00,120 markets, then misappropriated their deposits for risky investments, said Chairman Rosten 105 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,480 Benham. 106 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:09,680 The settlement requires FTX to pay $8 billion and $700 million in restitution and $4 billion 107 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,680 in disgorgement. 108 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,880 Founder Sam Bankman-Fried, sentenced to 25 years for stealing $8 billion, has appealed. 109 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,880 Votes on the bankruptcy proposal are due on August 16th. 110 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,440 And in entertainment news. 111 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:34,080 Warner Bros. discovery is facing significant struggles, as it's stock plunges due to the 112 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:40,480 expected loss of the National Basketball Association contract and underperformance in key business 113 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,480 units. 114 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,920 The company reported a $9 billion write-down in its cable TV channel's value, alarming 115 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520 investors. 116 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,400 Shares fell by 11% after acknowledging the loss of the National Basketball Association 117 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,400 contract during its second quarter earnings call. 118 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:06,840 Chief Executive David Zaslav highlighted changing market conditions for legacy media companies. 119 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,600 Analysts suggest asset sales to stabilize the company, which reported a net loss of 120 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920 nearly $10 billion for the quarter. 121 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,800 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 122 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,160 And today, our quote comes from the Canadian Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky. 123 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,160 And he said, 124 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,120 The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. 125 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,800 The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. 126 00:10:37,800 -->
