In local 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:49.180 news, according to Nextdoor, a hyperlocal social 00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:52.139 networking service, Pacific Highlands Ranch has 00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:55.080 been ranked as San Diego's friendliest neighborhood 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.360 for the year 2026. Kensington follows in second 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.819 place with Westwood in third, Rolando at fourth, 00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:06.819 and Sevenoaks rounding out the top five. These 00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:09.219 rankings are based on Nextdoor's friendliness 00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:12.139 score, which evaluates positive interactions 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:14.979 among residents, including fulfilled requests 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:18.160 for help, neighborhood pride, and local business 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.410 recommendations. The goal of these rankings is 00:04:21.410 --> 00:04:24.209 to provide insight into community connections 00:04:24.209 --> 00:04:27.910 for prospective residents and real estate professionals 00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:38.430 in America's finest city. Now on to sports. Cincinnati 00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:41.209 has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against 00:04:41.209 --> 00:04:44.579 former quarterback Brendan Soarsby. seeking a 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:47.740 $1 million buyout for violating a multi -season 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:51.139 revenue -sharing agreement. Sorsby transferred 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.199 to Texas Tech last month, despite having one 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.240 season remaining on his agreement. The lawsuit 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.420 states that Sorsby promised to pay $1 million 00:05:00.420 --> 00:05:03.779 if he transferred before the agreement's completion. 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.439 Cincinnati reached out to Sorsby's representation, 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.889 who stated he refuses to pay anything. Sorsby's 00:05:11.889 --> 00:05:14.730 agent claims the legal action is misguided and 00:05:14.730 --> 00:05:17.750 that the university's demands are unlawful under 00:05:17.750 --> 00:05:22.110 Ohio law. Texas Tech declined to comment on the 00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:27.829 suit. In local sports, Randy Vasquez is making 00:05:27.829 --> 00:05:30.410 a case for a breakout season with the Padres. 00:05:31.449 --> 00:05:34.370 After a strong performance last year, he is now 00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:36.870 projected to take the fourth spot in the starting 00:05:36.870 --> 00:05:40.509 rotation. In a recent outing against the Dodgers, 00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:43.939 Vasquez only allowed one hit and a walk while 00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:48.259 throwing 23 of 31 pitches for strikes. This follows 00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:51.480 a career -best year in 2025, where he posted 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.480 a 3 .84, earned run average, and demonstrated 00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:00.160 impressive durability with 133 and two -thirds 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.620 innings pitched. If he continues this momentum, 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.740 he could become a reliable starter for San Diego. 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.939 In top news, The remote work dream isn't dead, 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.180 but it is slipping away. Roles that allow you 00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:19.620 to work from home are four times harder to get 00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:23.519 than other jobs, according to one estimate. Landing 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.740 a remote job in 2026 is only slightly less competitive 00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:31.699 than cracking an NBA roster. The share of open 00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:34.480 jobs listed as remote has held steady between 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.899 8 % and 8 .6 % for the past six months. Remote 00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:42.939 job opportunities are narrowing amid layoffs 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:47.240 and slower hiring. 40 % of applications submitted 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.439 through LinkedIn are for remote roles, even though 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.540 those jobs represent only 8 % to 9 % of listings. 00:06:56.019 --> 00:07:00.160 In business news, New York City's proposed 9 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.519 .5 % real estate tax hike is stirring a national 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.189 debate. Home prices nationwide have increased 00:07:08.189 --> 00:07:12.410 55 % over the past five years, creating anxiety 00:07:12.410 --> 00:07:16.389 about rising assessments and taxes. Mayor Zorin 00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:19.329 Mamdani suggests that if Albany does not raise 00:07:19.329 --> 00:07:22.310 taxes on millionaires, the city may need to raise 00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:26.329 property taxes instead. Property taxes or real 00:07:26.329 --> 00:07:29.709 estate taxes fund essential services like schools 00:07:29.709 --> 00:07:34.370 and local government. In fiscal year 2022, These 00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:38.850 taxes accounted for 27 .4 % of total state and 00:07:38.850 --> 00:07:42.569 local tax collections. The stability of property 00:07:42.569 --> 00:07:45.329 tax revenue is crucial for local governments. 00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:51.029 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 5 % to about 00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:58.470 $69 ,000. Ethereum is up 9 % to $2 ,000. And 00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:06.360 XRP is up 6 .5%. to $1 .46. Moving on to a more 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.879 local vibe.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:08:56.580 --> 00:09:00.950 science. New research involving 77 ,000 patients 00:09:00.950 --> 00:09:04.509 reveals the hard truth about GLP -1 medications. 00:09:05.509 --> 00:09:08.129 While the impact on weight loss is undeniable, 00:09:08.590 --> 00:09:11.889 results may only be temporary. When patients 00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:14.330 stop taking these drugs, much of the weight they 00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:17.090 lost returns, along with medical complications. 00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:21.269 Scott Isaacs, an endocrinologist stated, the 00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:23.710 only way that they work is if you keep taking 00:09:23.710 --> 00:09:26.759 them. Research from the University of Oxford 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.379 indicates that weight returns to pretreatment 00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:33.340 levels within about 1 .7 years after cessation. 00:09:34.379 --> 00:09:37.139 As patients experience these changes, many are 00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:40.019 questioning their long -term commitment to GLP 00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:44.419 -1. Costs and side effects are significant concerns, 00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:47.200 with annual out -of -pocket expenses reaching 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:56.820 at least $4 ,200. Entertainment news. In a reimagining 00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:00.139 of kind hearts and coronets, Glenn Powell stars 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:02.960 in How to Make a Killing, a film that blends 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.059 greed, desperation, and romance. Powell plays 00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:10.899 Beckett Redfellow, a clothing store clerk from 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.679 Belleville, New Jersey, who plots to murder his 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.759 seven wealthy cousins for their inheritance. 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.340 The film features a cast including Margaret Qualley 00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:22.539 and Ed Harris. with a narrative that satirizes 00:10:22.539 --> 00:10:26.320 the financial landscape. Despite its dark theme, 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.100 it invites the audience to identify with its 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:33.159 murderous protagonist in a playful manner. Overall, 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.080 it offers a humorous critique of contemporary 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.639 greed culture. Well, alrighty folks, it's time 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.539 for the quote of the day. And today, our quote 00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:47.159 comes from the American author and motivational 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:52.389 speaker, Zig Ziglar. And he said, you don't have 00:10:52.389 --> 00:10:55.330 to be great to start, but you have to start to 00:10:55.330 --> 00:10:59.269 be great.
