National 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,240 Park, a designated World Heritage Site, was established by U.S. Congress as the country's 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,120 and the world's first national park. 9 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,400 And now it's time for the surf report. 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Friday will start slower with a mix of smaller swells, picking up a fresh northwest swell 11 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,880 later. 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:04,160 On Saturday and beyond, anticipate a storm system, bringing a northwest swell mix, but 13 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,880 also onshore wind and sloppy conditions. 14 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Friday in Encinitas and North County, there is a small window of readability from 6 to 15 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,440 11 a.m. with clean conditions at 2 feet. 16 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:25,680 Get your kicks on Route 66 now, because after 11 a.m. on Friday, there isn't another rideable 17 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080 wave until Tuesday morning. 18 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360 But we'll keep you posted if anything changes. 19 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,480 Best time to ride is at 9 when the southwest swell is 1 foot at 16 seconds, with a 1.5 20 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360 foot incoming tide. 21 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,400 The first low tide Friday will be 1 foot at 6.45 a.m. with a 2 foot high tide just before

caps off the weekend with the Food and Wine Festival at Lake House Resort, featuring 58 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:55,200 tastings from local restaurants, breweries and wineries alongside live music. 59 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,560 San Diego Restaurant Week begins, offering a chance to explore diverse cuisines with 60 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:09,840 prefixed menus across the county. 61 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,840 Now on to sports. 62 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,440 I guess it's true. 63 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,240 Everything good does come to an end. 64 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,600 The Philadelphia Phillies have discontinued their long-standing $1 hot dog night, a decision 65 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,840 driven by their commitment to ensuring a positive fan experience at Citizens Bank Park. 66 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,560 For over 25 years, this promotion was a fan favorite, offering affordable snacks during 67 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,560 gigs. 68 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,240 However, recent events, including fans throwing the hot dogs and other safety concerns, have 69 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,080 led to its cancellation. 70 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,560 In place of the dollar dogs, the Phillies will offer a two-for-one hot dog deal on select 71 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,600 dates in April. 72 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,400 This change reflects the organization's effort to manage crowds more effectively and maintain 73 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560 a family-friendly environment. 74 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,560 What a bummer. 75 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Now you'll have to buy two hot dogs at the same time, just so you can throw them. 76 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:18,040 In the NBA last night, the Lakers, at home taking on the Wizards, won in overtime 134-131. 77 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,380 And tonight, it's the Clippers' turn to face the Wizards. 78 00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:28,800 In national hockey last night, the Kings were on the road and beat the Knucks 5-1. 79 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760 The Ducks were also on the road and beat the Sharks 6-4. 80 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,920 Tonight, the Ducks are at home taking on the Devils. 81 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,480 In top news, aging doesn't have to mean a steep decline in physical and mental health, 82 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,260 according to longevity-focused physician Dr. Peter Attia. 83 00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:57,240 In his book Outlive, The Science and Art of Longevity, the author explores how proactive 84 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,760 measures can significantly enhance life quality in later years. 85 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,600 He emphasizes training over mere exercise, advocating for a deliberate approach to maintaining 86 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920 fitness across decades. 87 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,400 This concept is encapsulated in the centenarian decathlon, where individuals tailor their 88 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,960 fitness goals to life's practical challenges. 89 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,160 Attia's Performance Center, 10 Squared, aims to equip people for these challenges through 90 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,360 focused training in strength, stability, and cardio. 91 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,960 However, Attia also highlights the importance of emotional health, underscoring that happiness 92 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,460 and relationships are crucial at any age. 93 00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:49,080 His work suggests that both physical and emotional well-being can flourish with age, provided 94 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,100 there's consistent effort towards them. 95 00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:59,200 In business news, Major League Pickleball and the Professional Pickleball Association 96 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:05,960 have finalized their merger, marking a significant step for Professional Pickleball. 97 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,760 This unification ends months of negotiations and hostilities, creating a combined force 98 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,080 in the sport. 99 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,520 A substantial $75 million investment accompanies the merger, involving notable entities like 100 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:28,160 SC Holdings and other individual investors, such as Altylus and Town Dundon. 101 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,080 While retaining their distinct brands, the leagues will operate under a new holding company, 102 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,540 aiming to streamline and enhance Professional Pickleball. 103 00:08:38,540 --> 00:08:44,000 The merger promises a richer calendar of events and significantly increased payouts for players 104 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,080 — nearly 250% higher than last year. 105 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,800 However, amidst this advancement, players express concerns over unpaid earnings from 106 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,680 past tournaments. 107 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,680 This consolidation is poised to benefit players, fans, and sponsors, promising a more coherent 108 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:07,280 and exciting future for the sport. 109 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,080 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently over $61,000. 110 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,720 Ethereum is over $3300. 111 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:21,840 And Solana is $126. 112 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,560 Moving on to a more local vibe. 113 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:31,560 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 114 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,760 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 115

00:10:09,800 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 122 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,000 And now, back to the show. 123 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,200 Let's talk tech. 124 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,600 Researchers at Armit University in Australia have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed 125 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:29,160 titanium they call metamaterial that could revolutionize the engineering field. 126 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,100 Inspired by the natural structures of plants and coral, this metamaterial addresses the 127 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:39,800 long-standing challenge of metal alloys cracking under pressure. 128 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,480 The team's innovative design features lattice-like structures with hollow struts enhanced by 129 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,480 a thin band to evenly distribute stress, avoiding weak points. 130 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Utilizing advanced powder bed fusion technology, they created a material that outperforms traditional 131 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,080 alloys in strength and temperature resistance. 132 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,360 This new material not only withstands more weight, but also high temperatures, making 133 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:14,420 it ideal for aerospace engineering and potentially firefighting drones. 134 00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:20,400 Its hollow structure is also seen as beneficial for human bone implants, promoting cell regrowth 135 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,720 and integration with the body. 136 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:29,780 Although not yet widely accessible, technological advancements may soon allow broader application 137 00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:35,240 of this transformative metamaterial. 138 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:42,200 And in entertainment news, Mourner Brothers executives Michael DeLuca and Pam Addy are 139 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,640 making bold moves courting big names like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio and eyeing 140 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,160 Quentin Tarantino's next project. 141 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,380 In a strategic partnership with Tom Cruise, they discussed potential projects, including 142 00:11:57,380 --> 00:12:03,760 a sepal to Edge of Tomorrow and Tarantino's The Movie Critic. 143 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Their aggressive strategy includes attracting A-list directors and stars, underlined by 144 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:16,040 a non-exclusive deal with Cruise and a lucrative contract for DiCaprio's next film. 145 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,720 Mourner Brothers is also granting unusual concessions, like copyright returns to directors, 146 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,600 signaling a willingness to spend, to secure top talent. 147 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,840 This approach is part of a broader strategy, potentially aimed at enhancing Mourner Brothers 148 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,400 of value ahead of possible corporate sales or mergers. 149 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:42,700 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 150 00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:48,360 And today our quote comes from the always motivating Chuck Norris. 151 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,760 And Mr. Norris said, 152 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,000 A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. 153 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,640 But you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one. 154 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Don't give up, we're almost there. 155 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,400 And that's a wrap for this morning. 156 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,600 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 157 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:25,960 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
