00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,520 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:23,600 70 years ago, today, in 1954, the first issue of Sports Illustrated was released and the 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,920 weekly publication, which later changed to monthly, became the leading sports magazine 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840 in the United States. 7 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,920 So now you know. 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,120 And now it's time for the Surf Report. 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:46,280 Expect a mix of thigh-to-waist highways from the South Southwest early on Friday. 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,640 The morning will be semi-glassy, with light south winds less than 5 miles per hour. 11 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,680 In the afternoon, conditions will become semi-choppy, with south southwest winds increasing to 5 12 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,320 to 10 miles per hour. 13 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,080 On Saturday, expect knee-to-thigh high swell, with occasional waist-high sets. 14 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,700 The morning will be semi-glassy, with south southeast winds less than 5 miles per hour, 15 00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:15,600 turning bumpy in the afternoon. 16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Sunday will start with knee-high swell from the southwest and occasional thigh sets, building 17 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,840 to thigh-to-waist high in the afternoon. 18 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,980 Expect glassy conditions in the morning with light west-northwest winds, and semi-choppy 19 00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:36,760 conditions in the afternoon, as winds shift west 5 to 10 miles per hour. 20 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,960 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 21 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:45,520 It's looking fair in the morning until 11, at 2 plus feet. 22 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,120 Then conditions turn choppy until sunset. 23 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,480 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming mid-tide, when the south southwest 24 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:03,120 swell is 1 and a half feet at 13 seconds, and the onshore wind is 4 miles per hour. 25 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,920 The first high tide Friday will be 3 and a half foot just before 9 a.m., with a 3-foot 26 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,020 low tide at 1. 27 00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:19,520 This morning it's patchy fog and feels like 66 degrees with 8 mile per hour wind. 28 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:26,160 The sunset will take place at 7.31 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.14. 29 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,200 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m., mostly sunny skies with temperatures 30 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,040 reaching the high 70s and a gentle breeze from the south. 31 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:44,680 Tonight expect more patchy fog after 11 p.m., partly cloudy skies, with a low in the mid-60s 32 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,820 and light winds. 33 00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:50,360 Looking ahead in the weather. 34 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,640 Expect patchy fog each morning through Tuesday, clearing by mid-morning. 35 00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:01,400 Days will be mostly sunny, with highs near 80 and light southwest winds. 36 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,200 Plays will be partly cloudy, with lows around 67 and fog returning late. 37 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 38 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,120 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café & Pastries in Encinitas. 39 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,200 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this café is a haven 40 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960 for culinary delights. 41 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,560 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 42 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,320 Even grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 43 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,040 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 44 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,720 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 45 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,120 Sunny mornings send you. 46 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:53,840 In local news, snorkelers at La Jolla Cove were surprised to find a rare 12-foot oarfish 47 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,240 known as a sea serpent or doomsday fish. 48 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:05,720 This discovery marks only the 20th oarfish found along California's shore since 1901. 49 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,600 Ben Frable from the Marine Vertebrate Collection at Scripps Institution of Oceanography noted 50 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:18,440 that these deep-sea dwellers can grow to over 25 feet and weigh more than 500 pounds. 51 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:24,960 Interestingly, the find coincided with recent earthquakes in Southern California. 52 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,160 Scientists plan to study the specimen, adding to the mysterious species' understanding 53 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,400 at Scripps. 54 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,900 Now on to sports. 55 00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:43,360 Could a six-inning minimum for starting pitchers rejuvenate major league baseball? 56 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,600 Going into the 2023 season, major league baseball introduced extensive rule changes, including 57 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,400 a pitch clock, eliminating the shift, enlarging bases, and limiting pickoff throws. 58 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,160 These changes aim to shorten games and increase action. 59 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,440 Now the league is eyeing its next goal, having starting pitchers spend more time on the mound 60 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200 and lessen surgery rooms. 61 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,540 Discussions include limiting pitching staff sizes and possibly requiring starters to pitch 62 00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:16,960 at least six innings. 63 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,400 This rule aims to restore the prominence of starting pitchers, balance the game, and reduce 64 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,560 injuries. 65 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:34,480 In local sports, tonight, the Padres are on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies. 66 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:42,440 In top news, cable TV, once a cash cow, is now facing a steep decline. 67 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery have taken significant financial hits with Warner 68 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:54,920 Brothers, Discovery writing down $9 billion due to losses in National Basketball Association 69 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,040 rights and affiliate renewals. 70 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,280 Paramount Global followed with a $6 billion impairment charge related to the Skydance 71 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,280 deal. 72 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:11,160 Analysts like Jessica Reif-Ehrlich note that cable networks are in a never-ending decline, 73 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,480 driven by court-cutting and shifting advertising dollars. 74 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,800 The industry is now looking for ways to adapt, potentially through asset roll-ups or new 75 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480 streaming models. 76 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:30,420 In business news, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced plans to pass a crypto bill 77 00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:36,960 by year-end during the Crypto for Harris Town Hall, signaling a shift in Democratic engagement 78 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200 with the industry. 79 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,480 Schumer emphasized the need for bipartisan support for common-sense regulation. 80 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,680 Historically, Democrats have been less active on crypto, with the Biden administration backing 81 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,100 crypto unfriendly actions. 82 00:06:55,100 --> 00:07:00,640 The town hall, attended by 15,000 people, aimed to show Democrats' interest in crypto 83 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,400 policy. 84 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,400 Patrick McHenry, a Republican, and other industry voices, cautiously supported Schumer's 85 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,400 move. 86 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,480 The crypto vote, previously leaning towards Trump, might now be split. 87 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,720 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $58,100. 88 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Ethereum is just under $2,600. 89 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:30,080 And Solana is $142. 90 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Moving on to a more local vibe. 91 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,380 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 92 00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:43,720 to bring you some free classes,

00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,240 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 100 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960 And now back to the show. 101 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Let's talk science. 102 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,000 Geological clues reveal that the asteroid causing the end of the dinosaurs, which formed 103 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,400 the Chicxulub Crater, was a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. 104 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,600 This catastrophic event occurred beyond Jupiter during the Cretaceous period. 105 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,760 The asteroid, over six miles wide, hit Central America, causing a global heat pulse and a 106 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,200 prolonged winter that wiped out over 60% of species, including non-avian dinosaurs like 107 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,680 Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. 108 00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:00,160 A recent study identified the asteroid's origin using ruthenium isotopes, indicating 109 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,440 it came from the outer solar system. 110 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,800 This unique impact allowed survivors, like early primates, to flourish. 111 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:17,920 And in entertainment news, Nicolas Cage will portray John Madden in an upcoming biopic 112 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,840 about the creation of the Madden video game. 113 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:28,680 John Madden, a legendary coach and broadcaster, passed away three years ago at age 85. 114 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:35,600 His namesake video game franchise continues to thrive, with Madden 25 releasing on Friday. 115 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,600 Directed by David O'Roussel, the film will focus on Madden's life, particularly the 116 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,960 origins of the video game franchise, rather than his coaching or broadcasting career. 117 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:54,680 Russell praised Cage for embodying the American spirit of originality, fun, and determination. 118 00:09:54,680 --> 00:10:00,120 This project promises to explore Madden's impact on the sports video game marketplace. 119 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 120 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:13,160 And today, our quote comes from the American sports commentator and coach, John Madden. 121 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,800 And he said, When the going gets tough, I'm not always sure what you do. 122 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:25,320 I'm not saying that I know how to fix everything when the going gets tough, but I do know this. 123 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,440 When the going gets tough, you don't quit. 124 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,880 And you don't fold up. 125 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,640 And you don't go in the other direction. 126 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,280 And that's a wrap for this morning. 127 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,440 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos, 128 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 with

Mornings in San Diego.
