You'll be interested 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:20.579 to know. 69 years ago, today, in 1957, a pair 00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:23.300 of playful entrepreneurs shaped a molded plastic 00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.420 disc into the frisbee, turning a simple toss 00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:29.579 into a widely loved recreational flying toy at 00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:33.530 parks and beaches. That inventive leap popularized 00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:36.869 casual outdoor play, inspired organized flying 00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:39.950 disc sports, and established a cultural icon 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:45.990 of mid -20th century. So now you know. And now, 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:52.750 it's time for the Surf Report.

The nearshore buoy at Mission 00:01:43.269 --> 00:01:47.030 Bay West reads 62 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:51.530 On Wednesday, expect clean conditions with waves 00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:54.489 ranging from 3 to 5 feet throughout the day. 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.950 A Thursday holds steady with similar sizes, but 00:01:57.950 --> 00:02:01.010 remains clean, peaking at 4 to 6 feet in the 00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:04.969 afternoon. Friday sees a slight drop to 3 to 00:02:04.969 --> 00:02:07.870 4 plus feet, with choppy conditions developing 00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:11.030 later, making Thursday the standout day for surf 00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:15.939 this period.

In local news, two of California's 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.280 largest home insurers will each raise rates for 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.259 customers by an average of 6 .9 % later this 00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:55.000 year, according to filings with the California 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.400 Department of Insurance.

Both insurers attributed 00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:23.529 the need for a rate increase to inflation and 00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:28.649 the risk of catastrophes such as wildfires. Customers 00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:30.870 can reach out to their agent to ask questions 00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:33.629 about what discounts they might qualify for. 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.339 Now on to sports. Last night, the Houston Texans 00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:46.060 dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning their 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:50.879 wild -card matchup 30 -6. Despite their quarterback 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.240 struggling and their star receiver leaving on 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.720 a card, Houston's defense excelled, marking the 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.199 franchise's first road playoff victory. Aaron 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.139 Rodgers, facing relentless pressure, threw for 00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:07.449 only 146 yards. with the Steelers suffering their 00:05:07.449 --> 00:05:11.610 ninth consecutive postseason loss. CJ Stroud 00:05:11.610 --> 00:05:15.850 managed 250 yards but struggled with turnovers, 00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:19.509 while Christian Kirk excelled with 144 yards 00:05:19.509 --> 00:05:23.269 on eight receptions. As the offseason approaches, 00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.069 uncertainty looms for the Steelers and Rodgers, 00:05:26.329 --> 00:05:31.509 who may not return in 2026. In local sports, 00:05:32.609 --> 00:05:35.709 Mecky Beckton has openly criticized Chargers 00:05:35.709 --> 00:05:38.949 offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, following 00:05:38.949 --> 00:05:41.930 a disappointing playoff loss where the team only 00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:46.269 scored three points. Chargers fans are understandably 00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:49.389 frustrated with Roman's performance, and Beckton, 00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:52.569 who signed a two -year contract worth $20 million 00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:55.970 after winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles, is 00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:59.389 no exception. He struggled throughout the season 00:05:59.389 --> 00:06:01.970 in Los Angeles. lacking the performance that 00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:05.589 made him stand out the year before. Beckton's 00:06:05.589 --> 00:06:08.769 remarks suggest discontent within the team, raising 00:06:08.769 --> 00:06:11.750 questions about the future direction as the Chargers 00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:15.209 enter a crucial off season. Trouble seems to 00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:17.649 be brewing in an organization that should be 00:06:17.649 --> 00:06:23.810 on the rise. In top news, America is trying to 00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:27.430 determine if it has hit Keek Pizza. Once the 00:06:27.430 --> 00:06:29.730 second most common restaurant type in the United 00:06:29.730 --> 00:06:32.750 States, Pizzerias are now outnumbered by coffee 00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:37.009 shops and Mexican food eateries. According to 00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:39.750 industry data, sales growth at pizza restaurants 00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:42.509 has failed to keep pace with the broader fast 00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:47.529 food market for years. Ravi Thanwala, chief financial 00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:50.930 officer and North America president at Papa John's 00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:54.069 International, stated, pizza is disrupted right 00:06:54.069 --> 00:06:58.709 now. Major chains like Pizza Hut and Papa John's 00:06:58.649 --> 00:07:01.410 are considering strategic changes, including 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:04.250 potential sales, amid increasing competition 00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:08.709 and evolving consumer preferences. PISA still 00:07:08.709 --> 00:07:12.550 generates around $31 billion in sales, but its 00:07:12.550 --> 00:07:16.829 dominance in American dining is fading. In business 00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:20.430 news, the Justice Department has threatened the 00:07:20.430 --> 00:07:23.009 Federal Reserve with a criminal indictment over 00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:26.129 testimony from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding 00:07:26.129 --> 00:07:28.970 renovations. Powell revealed over the weekend. 00:07:29.910 --> 00:07:33.129 This marks a significant escalation by the administration 00:07:33.129 --> 00:07:36.129 after President Donald Trump's efforts to exert 00:07:36.129 --> 00:07:39.029 more control over the independent institution. 00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:43.129 Trump has criticized Powell for not cutting short 00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:45.529 -term interest rates and has even threatened 00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:49.329 to fire him. Powell described the threat of criminal 00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:52.990 charges as pretext aimed at undermining the Fed's 00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:56.569 independence. Investors are closely watching 00:07:56.569 --> 00:07:59.370 as an attempt to fire Powell could lead to falling 00:07:59.370 --> 00:08:02.370 stock prices and higher borrowing costs across 00:08:02.370 --> 00:08:07.850 the economy. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 00:08:07.850 --> 00:08:13.790 1 % to just over $91 ,000. Ethereum is down 2 00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:20.110 % to $3 ,000. And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .06. 00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:26.779 Moving on to a more local vibe.

Scarlett 00:10:23.169 --> 00:10:25.929 Johansson's reign at the box office is over for 00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:29.950 now. Hey.

And he said, success means doing the 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.919 best we can with what we have. Success is the 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.279 doing, not the getting, and the trying, not the 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.820 triumph.
