Ninety years ago, today, in 1936, a 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.460 local college basketball game was transmitted 00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.640 on early television equipment, making it the 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.339 first time a sport reached a home audience via 00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:30.690 live electronic pictures. That milestone showed 00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:33.829 how broadcast technology could bring live athletic 00:00:33.829 --> 00:00:37.369 competition into everyday homes and set a precedent 00:00:37.369 --> 00:00:40.750 for sports becoming a central part of mass entertainment. 00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:46.950 So now you know.

Bonjour, food enthusiast! This 00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:47.039 podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.020 and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:54.259 Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.340 this cafe is a haven for culinary delights.

In local news, has a 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.139 gas station near you closed? This new California 00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:28.800 law could be the reason. The recently shuttered 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.519 76 station on Alameda's Bay Farm Island is surrounded 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.079 by a cyclone fence, with faded signs still advertising 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.259 lottery tickets and fuel pumps now dismantled. 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.550 The former owner, Simon Kim, could not afford 00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:45.290 to replace the outdated tanks, which required 00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.829 a cost of $2 million, leading to the station's 00:04:48.829 --> 00:04:52.970 closure on November 30th. As of January 1st, 00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:56.050 California mandates that underground fuel tanks 00:04:56.050 --> 00:04:59.550 must have dual protective shells to prevent environmental 00:04:59.550 --> 00:05:02.290 contamination, which many gas station owners 00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:05.970 find prohibitively expensive. This situation 00:05:05.970 --> 00:05:08.949 has left numerous gas stations across the state 00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:11.899 facing similar challenges. creating concerns 00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:15.060 over potential fuel shortages and rising gas 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:24.800 prices. Now on to sports. The Hoosiers are national 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.639 champions. In Miami Gardens, Florida, Fernando 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.500 Mendoza showcased his skills, executing a remarkable 00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:36.339 touchdown for Indiana University, sealing a 27 00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:40.180 to 21 victory over Miami. and completing an undefeated 00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:43.740 season. Mendoza's pivotal 12 -yard touchdown 00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:47.000 run defined the game, contributing to his impressive 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:52.139 186 yards passing. With a perfect 16 -0 record, 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.259 Indiana celebrates a championship that marks 00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:58.720 a significant turnaround for a program long burdened 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.519 by losses. Signetti reflected on the achievement, 00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:05.620 calling it one of the greatest sports stories 00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:11.720 of all time. in local sports. The San Diego Rodeo 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.720 concluded at Petco Park after another year of 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.699 drawing sold -out crowds. Despite ongoing concerns 00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:21.600 about animal welfare, the event, which is in 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.579 its third year, continued to attract fans from 00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:28.579 throughout the region. C5, the organizing company, 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.439 expressed gratitude to sponsors and attendees, 00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:34.300 looking forward to another successful event. 00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:38.389 However, multiple groups have protested the rodeo, 00:06:38.449 --> 00:06:42.110 citing animal cruelty concerns. A court case 00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:44.529 is underway with the Animal Protection and Rescue 00:06:44.529 --> 00:06:47.389 League suing the San Diego Padres, while the 00:06:47.389 --> 00:06:50.509 Humane Society continues to oppose rodeos due 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:55.769 to the risks they pose to animals. In top news, 00:06:56.889 --> 00:06:59.769 San Francisco will offer free childcare to families 00:06:59.769 --> 00:07:04.310 earning less than $230 ,000 a year. and a 50 00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:08.990 % subsidy to those earning up to $310 ,000 in 00:07:08.990 --> 00:07:11.189 an effort to make this city more affordable. 00:07:12.209 --> 00:07:14.189 Mayor Daniel Leary announced this initiative 00:07:14.189 --> 00:07:17.790 as part of his Family Opportunity Agenda, stating 00:07:17.790 --> 00:07:20.750 it aims to reduce living costs for families by 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:24.050 tens of thousands of dollars annually. The program 00:07:24.050 --> 00:07:27.189 is funded by unspent tax dollars from Proposition 00:07:27.189 --> 00:07:30.990 C, providing access to over 500 child care providers 00:07:30.990 --> 00:07:34.680 citywide. This measure is expected to significantly 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.680 help families amidst the affordability crisis. 00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.779 In business news, President Donald Trump has 00:07:42.779 --> 00:07:46.199 proposed a 10 % cap on credit card interest rates 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.259 to address affordability concerns before the 00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:52.279 midterm elections. However, banks have pushed 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.120 back, arguing that this cap could reduce access 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.959 to credit, especially for those with lower credit 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.230 scores. Currently, credit card interest rates 00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:05.050 average about 22%, and implementing such a cap 00:08:05.050 --> 00:08:07.709 would likely require legislation from Congress. 00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:11.589 A study from Vandergilt University suggests that 00:08:11.589 --> 00:08:15.470 a 10 % cap could save consumers $100 billion 00:08:15.470 --> 00:08:19.610 annually. Banks may reduce rewards programs to 00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:22.689 offset profit losses, but many analysts believe 00:08:22.689 --> 00:08:26.769 consumers would still benefit overall. In crypto 00:08:26.769 --> 00:08:32.480 movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about $92 ,000. 00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:38.320 Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $3 ,000. And 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:45.460 XRP is unchanged at $1 .97. Moving on to a more 00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:49.980 local vibe. In our community spotlight on health 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:52.600 and wellness, we are working with a national 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.559 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, 00:08:56.059 --> 00:09:00.389 so listen up.

General Motors Chief Executive Officer 00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:42.230 Mary Barra says people aren't plugging in their 00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:45.169 plug -in hybrids, which defeats their whole purpose. 00:09:46.169 --> 00:09:48.909 Plug -in hybrid vehicles might be even less fuel 00:09:48.909 --> 00:09:51.690 efficient than gas -only cars when owners do 00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:54.889 not plug them in. Vera noted at a conference 00:09:54.889 --> 00:09:57.669 that most plug -in hybrid owners do not charge 00:09:57.669 --> 00:10:00.490 their vehicles, leading to concerns about their 00:10:00.490 --> 00:10:04.590 environmental benefits. In United States, transportation 00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:07.610 is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, 00:10:08.009 --> 00:10:10.830 making the transition to electric vehicles crucial. 00:10:11.850 --> 00:10:14.409 Research shows that plug -in hybrids may produce 00:10:14.409 --> 00:10:17.210 significantly higher carbon dioxide emissions 00:10:17.210 --> 00:10:23.600 than official estimates suggest. Entertainment 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.799 news.

Over the past 00:10:34.899 --> 00:10:37.840 several months, the Interstellar and Magic Mike 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.980 star has had eight trademark applications approved 00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:43.820 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.779 His attorney stated the trademarks are meant 00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:49.360 to stop artificial intelligence applications 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.500 or users. from simulating McConaughey's voice 00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:56.539 or likeness without permission. McConaughey said, 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:07.600 His lawyers hope these trademarks can deter unauthorized 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.399 duplications of him in a world grappling with 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.879 artificial intelligence misuse. Well, alrighty 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.879 folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
