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 --> 00:00:13,360
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Thursday, September 26th.

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,200
You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,400
Sixty-four years ago, today in 1960.

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:28,120
The first in a series of historic televised debates, seen by some 85 to 120 million viewers

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,200
between United States presidential candidates.

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:39,600
John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Vice President Richard Milhouse Nixon was broadcast on CBS.

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,680
So now you know.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,840
And now it's time for the Surf Report.

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,360
Expect knee-high ground swell on Thursday morning, building to thigh-to-waist high in

11
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
the afternoon.

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,240
Conditions will be semi-glassy with offshore winds of 5 to 10 miles per hour, turning semi-choppy

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,760
with onshore winds later.

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Similar conditions persist on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with slight variations in swell

15
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,360
height.

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.

17
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,320
It's looking fair at 2 to 3 feet until 11 a.m.

18
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:26,880
After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset.

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide when the northwest swell is 1 feet

20
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,040
at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 6 miles per hour.

21
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:47,040
The first high tide Thursday will be 4 foot at 7.30 a.m. with a 3-foot low tide just before

22
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,600
noon.

23
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:56,960
This morning it's patchy fog and feels like 66 degrees with 8 mile per hour wind.

24
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:03,440
The sunset will take place at 6.38 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.40.

25
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,800
It looks a grin for some patchy fog this morning, clearing by late morning, leading to mostly

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,960
sunny skies and a high near 73 with a light northwest breeze.

27
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Tonight.

28
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:24,920
Expect mostly cloudy conditions with patchy fog rolling in, a low of 62 and light winds.

29
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,440
Looking ahead in the weather.

30
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,800
Expect patchy fog each morning before 11 a.m. with mostly sunny skies and highs around 74

31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440
to 78 degrees.

32
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Nights will turn mostly cloudy with lows in the 60s.

33
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640
Calm northwest winds will be light throughout.

34
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:46,920
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

35
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,920
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

36
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,040
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

37
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,800
for culinary delights.

38
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,360
Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

39
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,120
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

40
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,800
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

41
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,560
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

42
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Sunny mornings send you.

43
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:29,200
In local news, a star has been born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park with the arrival

44
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,280
of a newborn aardvark cub marking a first for the park.

45
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,200
The cub was born in July to mother Padme and father Azzan, who previously sired another

46
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,040
cub at the San Diego Zoo in 2022.

47
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Aardvarks with their unique appearance and nocturnal habits are native to sub-Saharan

48
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Africa.

49
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Although not currently endangered, they face increasing risks from habitat loss and human

50
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,480
activities.

51
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,520
After a gestation period of about seven months, mother aardvarks teach their young vital skills

52
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:12,080
for finding and digging for ants and termites.

53
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,000
Now on to sports.

54
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Netflix's ambition to have Tom Brady call a Christmas Day game has hit a snag.

55
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,800
The streaming service plans to broadcast the Kansas City Chiefs against the Pittsburgh

56
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,640
Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens versus the Houston Texans on December 25.

57
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,120
Fox initially sought to feature Brady alongside Kevin Burkhardt for the Chiefs-Steelers matchup,

58
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,200
but Fox declined this request.

59
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:49,880
Now Netflix is considering I.N. Eagle, Noah Eagle, Greg Olsen, and Nate Burlson as alternatives.

60
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,360
While I.N. Eagle and Burlson work for CBS Sports, Noah Eagle is with NBC.

61
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,320
Fox may consider allowing Olsen to join the broadcast.

62
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys, at 1 and 2, take on the New York

63
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,600
Giants, also at 1 and 2 at MetLife Stadium.

64
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Kickoff is at 8.15 Eastern on Prime Video.

65
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,320
Expect clear skies and 74 degrees for this rivalry matchup.

66
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,600
The Cowboys are favored by 6 points.

67
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,200
In local sports.

68
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,720
Last night in Los Angeles, the Padres fell to the Dodgers 4-3.

69
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,600
Despite a solo shot from Tatis Jr. in the fifth inning, the Friars couldn't overcome

70
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,560
the Dodgers' solid pitching.

71
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Manny Machado scored on Xander Bogart's second-inning single, and Jake Cronenworth doubled in the

72
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,320
second to bring Bogart's home.

73
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,560
Estrada took the loss, allowing two runs over three innings.

74
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Although the Padres' bullpen held strong, the Dodgers' early offense proved too much

75
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,760
to handle.

76
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,000
Tonight, the Padres are back at Dodger Stadium for a 7-10 first pitch.

77
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,760
Joe Musgrove, with an E-array of 2.25, will take on Walker Bueller.

78
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Expect mild weather with temperatures around 69 degrees in LA.

79
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,720
In top news.

80
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,320
As Hurricane Helene approaches Florida's northern Gulf Coast, marine scientists and

81
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,640
engineers are deploying a fleet of drones to track its path.

82
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,720
These autonomous devices can navigate the turbulent area between air and water, where

83
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,280
heat fuels the storm, producing intense winds, waves, and rain.

84
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:50,800
This advanced technology enhances storm predictions and aids in understanding hurricane intensification.

85
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Various instruments, including satellites, planes, drones, and buoys, are positioned

86
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,080
at different altitudes to gather crucial atmospheric and oceanographic data.

87
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,560
This coordinated effort aims to quickly assess Helene's intensity and trajectory, ultimately

88
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,640
improving meteorological forecasts.

89
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000
In business news.

90
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Nvidia stock increased by as much as 3% on Wednesday following an industry report that

91
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,200
predicted unprecedented levels of investment in artificial intelligence.

92
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,360
The annual technology report from consulting firm Bain states that companies will need

93
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,800
to invest significantly in technology infrastructure to capitalize on the artificial intelligence

94
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,360
boom.

95
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,880
According to the report, while large data centers currently cost between $1 billion

96
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:54,200
and $4 billion, future costs could rise to between $10 and $25 billion.

97
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,960
Nvidia expects to earn $10 billion in revenue from government investments in artificial

98
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:06,400
intelligence in 2024, a substantial increase from zero last year.

99
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:13,160
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,700.

100
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Ethereum is just over $2,600.

101
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,400
And Solana is $149.

102
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Moving on to a more local vibe.

103
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,720
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

104
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,040
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

105
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,320
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area.

106
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,080
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

107
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,560
and elevating mental well-being.

108
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,880
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

109
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:00,160
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class with locations in Encinitas,

110
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

111
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

112
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,320
And now back to the show.

113
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,200
Let's talk tech.

114
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Meta is discontinuing the Quest Pro, its high-end virtual reality headset that launched in 2022,

115
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,280
and which we described as not very good.

116
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,960
The company plans to sell remaining Quest Pro headsets until they are gone, or until

117
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,160
the end of the year.

118
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,320
While Meta did not specify the reasons for this decision, the headset received poor reviews,

119
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,760
with many rating it a mere 4 out of 10.

120
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:52,980
The Quest Pro was originally priced at $1,499, but was later reduced to $999, which was still

121
00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:58,000
high compared to the newer, better Quest 3 at $499.

122
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Additionally, Meta is also discontinuing the Quest 2, which is 4 years old.

123
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,560
Entertainment news.

124
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:16,360
Marking his own journey through high school with his group of misfit friends, Sam Levine,

125
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:22,520
reflecting on the show's 25th anniversary, expressed gratitude to the creator and directors

126
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,800
for giving a comedy-loving teenage nerd that kind of opportunity.

127
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,680
Levine shared on Instagram,

128
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,040
25 years, some days I can't believe it's been that long.

129
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,120
He emphasized how freaks and geeks continues to resonate, saying,

130
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,760
A quarter century later, I'm truly humbled at how it is still being talked about, still

131
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,240
finding new fans, and still bringing joy to so many people.

132
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

133
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,760
And today, our quote comes from the American actor, Christopher Reeve.

134
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,760
And he said,

135
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,800
A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite

136
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,760
of overwhelming obstacles.

137
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,380
And that's a wrap for this morning.

138
00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:21,520
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

139
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,920
with local news and the surf reports.

140
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

141
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:55,200
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
