1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,680 I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, August 12th. 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,800 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:22,880 Thirty-six years ago, today, in 1988, American inventor Thomas Alva Edison made perhaps his 5 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,440 most original discovery, the phonograph. 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:34,120 His early recordings were made with indentations embossed into a sheet of tinfoil by a vibrating 7 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,800 stylus. 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,280 This invention marked a significant milestone in sound recording technology. 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,360 So now you know. 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,560 And now it's time for the surf report. 11 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,200 Expect need a thigh-high swell from the southwest early on Monday, building slightly by afternoon. 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:04,280 Mornings will be glassy, with light onshore winds less than five miles per hour. 13 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,600 Afternoons will get bumpy, with winds shifting to onshore at five to ten miles per hour. 14 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:17,960 Tuesday swell increases to waist-to-stomach high by afternoon, with similar wind conditions. 15 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:24,520 Wednesday brings waist-to-chest high swell, with glassy mornings and bumpy afternoons. 16 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,960 By Thursday, expect thigh-to-waist high swell from the south-southwest, with semi-glassy 17 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:34,040 mornings and bumpy afternoons. 18 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Monday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 19 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,400 It's looking clean in the morning until ten, at two to three feet. 20 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Then conditions turn fair until sunset. 21 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:52,680 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a two-and-a-half foot low tide, when the west-northwest swell 22 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,040 is one feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is two miles per hour. 23 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,240 The first low tide Monday will be two-and-a-half foot at 7 a.m. with a four-and-a-half foot 24 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,540 high tide just before three. 25 00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:15,660 This morning it's patchy fog and feels like 68 degrees with no wind. 26 00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:22,140 The sunset will take place at 7.36 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.11. 27 00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:28,120 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m., then mostly sunny skies with 28 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,520 temperatures reaching near 80 and a light breeze. 29 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Tonight expect patchy fog after 11 p.m., mostly cloudy skies, with a low around 67. 30 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,960 Looking ahead in the weather. 31 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,800 Expect patchy fog each morning through Saturday, gradually clearing by mid-morning. 32 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,920 Maytime highs will be in the upper 70s with light west winds. 33 00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,640 Nights will be mostly cloudy, with lows in the mid-60s and fog returning late. 34 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,760 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 35 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,600 This podcast is brought to you by

Indiana Jones Adventure and an Encanto-themed ride. 51 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,120 These investments aim to bolster Disney's parks as a reliable profit engine, contributing 52 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:34,600 60% of the company's recent operating profit. 53 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,240 Now on to sports. 54 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,600 Steph Curry has once again dazzled the world, securing an Olympic gold medal with a stunning 55 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,120 performance in Paris. 56 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,640 Known for his incredible three-point shooting, Curry led Team USA to victory against France, 57 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:58,320 delivering a series of remarkable long-distance shots that left even his teammates in awe. 58 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,480 In his first and likely last Olympics, Curry scored 24 points against France, following 59 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,520 a stellar 36-point game versus Serbia in the semifinals. 60 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,840 His unforgettable display, capped by his signature night-night celebration, solidified his legacy 61 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,240 as the best shooter to ever live. 62 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:28,280 In local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Marlins 7-6. 63 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:34,960 And tonight, the Padres are at home to take on the Pirates. 64 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,560 On top news, the Internal Revenue Service is intensifying efforts to target high-income 65 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,640 individuals who have not filed tax returns. 66 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,800 This year, the agency sent compliance letters to those earning $400,000 or more in years 67 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,200 without filed returns, including some earning over $1 million. 68 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,200 The IRS advises immediate action to avoid penalties and enforcement measures. 69 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,160 Non-filers making less than $400,000 may also receive notices. 70 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:19,380 This non-filer initiative focuses on missing returns from tax years between 2017 and 2021. 71 00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:25,920 The unpaid tax amount is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. 72 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:33,160 In business news, venture capital firms are projected to raise under $200 billion in 2024, 73 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,200 a 48% drop from the industry's peak in 2021. 74 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,760 This downturn has led to downsizing and fewer promotions, frustrating younger investors. 75 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,440 Fierce competition for deals has intensified office politics, with many investors growing 76 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320 disillusioned. 77 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,400 Rising interest rates, delayed initial public offerings, and a slump in public markets have 78 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560 hit the industry hard. 79 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Frustrations that were manageable during the bull market now seem like deal breakers. 80 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Many investors are considering leaving the industry as opportunities for growth diminish. 81 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:24,440 In

00:08:17,320 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 93 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,040 And now back to the show. 94 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,000 Let's talk science. 95 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Does jewelry and big hair slow down Olympic runners? 96 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Even a little added weight and air drag can make a measurable difference. 97 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,480 According to one physics expert, if it makes you feel strong, go for it. 98 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,960 Olympic athletes spend years perfecting their performance, including their lightweight uniforms. 99 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Yet, at the Paris Olympics, Noah Lyles of Team USA won the men's 100-meter sprint, 100 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,320 while wearing a hefty diamond studded chain and a large Omega Speedmaster watch. 101 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,560 The physics suggests that added weight could slightly reduce acceleration, but the difference 102 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,360 is minuscule. 103 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Similarly, voluminous hair could increase air drag, but again, the impact is minimal. 104 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,200 If accessories boost confidence, athletes should go for it. 105 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,520 And in entertainment news… 106 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,200 Deadpool and Wolverine has crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, becoming 107 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,200 the newest member of the Billion Dollar Club. 108 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,960 This Disney Marvel sequel, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has grossed approximately 109 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,560 $500 million in North America, and over $500 million internationally. 110 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:50,780 It is the second release of 2024, following Disney's Pixar hit, Inside Out 2, to surpass 111 00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:53,360 this milestone. 112 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,800 Directed by Sean Levy, it is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film, featuring characters 113 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,800 previously licensed to 20th Century Fox, marking a significant win for the Marvel Cinematic 114 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,800 Universe. 115 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 116 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:22,880 And today, our quote comes from the American inventor and businessman, Thomas Edison. 117 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,840 And he said, 118 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,440 Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. 119 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:35,480 The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. 120 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,080 And that's a wrap for this morning. 121 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:44,200 You can check
