Lionel Sternberger, who at just 16 years old in 1926 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,600 invented the cheeseburger at his father's sandwich shop, The Right Spot in Pasadena, 7 00:00:30,600 -->

12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,800 On Wednesday and Thursday morning, conditions will be glassy with light offshore winds becoming 13 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,720 bumpy in the afternoons as winds increase. 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Friday and Saturday mornings will also be semi-glassy, turning semi-choppy in the afternoons. 15 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,480 Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 16 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,320 It's looking glassy until 11 at 2 feet. 17 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,840 After that, it will get a little choppy midday and then fair for your sunset session. 18 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,560 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming low tide when the southwest swell 19 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,960 is 1 feet at 16 seconds and the

00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,800 This morning it's mostly cloudy and feels like 62 degrees with no wind. 23 00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:00,360 The sunset will take place at 649 and it will rise again tomorrow at 635. 24 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,360 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny Wednesday with a high near 71 and a light 25 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,680 breeze. 26 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,280 Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of rain showers after 11, a low of 27 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,920 63 and calm winds. 28 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,440 Looking ahead in the weather. 29 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Expect a chance of light rain showers on Thursday clearing by mid-afternoon. 30 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,580 Daytime highs will be in the low 70s. 31 00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:35,040 The nights will be mostly cloudy with patchy fog developing late. 32 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Sunny skies return for the weekend with highs reaching the low 80s. 33 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 34 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,440 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 35 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,520 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 36 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,320 for culinary delights. 37 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,880 Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 38 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,640 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 39 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,640 They are

local news, Del Mar, Solana Beach and the Del Mar Fairgrounds have reached a joint resolution 43 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,680 regarding a rail relocation project. 44 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,240 This agreement aims for a mutually agreed-upon process to choose a new rail alignment, allowing 45 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,480 the San Diego Association of Governments to relocate train tracks from the eroding Del 46 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,480 Mar Bluffs. 47 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,520 The agreement follows a notice of preparation from June, which proposed three routes that 48 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800 face significant opposition. 49 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Both Solana Beach and the Del Mar Fairgrounds were surprised by one option, alternative 50 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,040 A, due to its potential construction impacts, while residents of Del Mar opposed alternatives 51 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:10,320 B and C, which involved tunneling. 52 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,800 Now onto sports. 53 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:18,320 The Chicago White Sox are enduring a historically bad season, marking the worst performance 54 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920 in baseball in a century. 55 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,780 Surprisingly, this misfortune has sparked joy among their competitors in the American 56 00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:28,720 League Central Division. 57 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,600 As the White Sox chase a piece of miserable history, the Cleveland Guardians are on track 58 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:40,680 to win the division, while the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins hold wild card spots. 59 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,580 Even the Detroit Tigers are making a late push, showcasing a remarkable turnaround for 60 00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:51,440 this division, traditionally viewed as a punchline at the expense of wealthy franchises like 61 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680 the Boston Red Sox. 62 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,320 In local sports. 63 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Last night, the Padres lost a hard-fought battle to the Astros, 4-3, in 10 innings at 64 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Petco Park. 65 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,320 Manny Machado's two-run homer in the sixth inning tied the game at three, but Kyle Tucker's 66 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,000 RBI single in the top of the tenth gave Houston the lead for good. 67 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,120 Michael King delivered another strong outing for San Diego, going seven innings with just 68 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,960 two earned runs, but the Padres couldn't capitalize on late-scoring opportunities, 69 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,800 leaving eight runners on base. 70 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,240 With the loss, San Diego remains three and a half games behind the Dodgers in the NL 71 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,680 West, and every win is becoming critical as they fight for a playoff spot. 72 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,760 This afternoon, the Padres have a 3-40 first pitch against the Astros, as Dylan Cease takes 73 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,760 the mound. 74 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:57,680 In top news, a new nonprofit organization called the Decentralized AI Society has been 75 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,740 launched by industry leaders to combat the potential monopolization of the artificial 76 00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:05,440 intelligence industry. 77 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Michael Casey, the former chief content officer of CoinDesk, is serving as the chairman. 78 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,160 In an interview at a blockchain conference in Singapore, Casey stated, 79 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,720 The Decentralized AI Society is acknowledging the fact that centralized platforms in the 80 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,440 AI era have a massive head start. 81 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,640 They own all the data, they own all the compute, and I would say they own the regulators. 82 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:38,840 In business news, the stock prices of major entertainment companies like Disney, Paramount, 83 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:44,440 Sirius, and Warner Bros. Discovery have significantly declined this year. 84 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,960 In contrast, the Standard & Poor's 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials are reaching new 85 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,600 highs. 86 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,600 These companies fall under the consumer discretionary category, meaning their products are often 87 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920 the first to be skipped when budgets are tight. 88 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:08,080 Disney, for instance, has seen a drop from a peak price of $122 in late March to $92 89 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,960 today, marking a 24% decline over six months. 90 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,520 The price also dipped to $84 in mid-August. 91 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,760 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,400. 92 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 93 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,760 And Solana is $132. 94 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Moving on to a more local vibe. 95 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,360 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 96 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,520 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 97 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 98 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,720 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 99 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 and elevating mental well-being. 100 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,520 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 101 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:10,800 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class with locations in Encinitas, 102 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,080 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 103 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 104 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920 And now back to the show. 105 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,520 Let's talk science. 106 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Chickadees, those adorable, bandit-masked visitors to backyard feeders, are beloved 107 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160 across North America. 108 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,560 Their skills in spotting predators make them valuable to other birds, and their boldness 109 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:43,320 allows them to snatch seeds from people's hands. 110 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Scientists have focused on the overlapping ranges of the black-capped chickadees and 111 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:55,760 Carolina chickadees, creating a surprising natural experiment in species boundaries. 112 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,720 Research shows that human activities, including climate change and habitat alteration, are 113 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,840 reshaping these relationships. 114 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,120 This study of hybrids reveals significant insights into how species adapt and interact 115 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,680 in our changing environment. 116 00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,560 Entertainment news. 117 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,800 Sean Diddy Combs has been denied bail and ordered to jail as he awaits his trial for 118 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:28,000 serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage 119 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,440 in prostitution. 120 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,740 This decision comes following a three-count federal indictment that accuses Combs of exploiting 121 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:42,020 his extensive business empire to abuse, threaten, and traffic women, all while safeguarding 122 00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:44,360 his reputation. 123 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,100 Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York allege that Combs, along with his security 124 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:55,680 and household staff, created a criminal enterprise involved in various serious offenses, including 125 00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,360 forced labor and bribery. 126 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:04,240 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 127 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,480 And today, our quote comes from the Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi. 128 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,480 And he said, 129 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:18,000 I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals 130 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560 than anyone else. 131 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:24,880 I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the 132 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,500 world. 133 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,860 When all this is over, what are you left with?
