1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,320 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, March 8th. 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,160 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,080 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and 5 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:24,080 science. 6 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,800 But first, you'll be interested to know, today is International Women's Day. 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,360 Hooray for women! 8 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:39,320 The day focuses on empowering women and showing appreciation for all that they have accomplished. 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,960 And now that we know you know what it's time for, that's right, it's time for the surf 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,640 report. 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Friday brings a clean-up in surf conditions with a fresh northwest swell mixed, declining 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000 throughout the day. 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,480 Expect varying conditions from waist to head-high early, becoming more rideable as the tide 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,160 drops. 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,480 Wind shift from light east-southeast to moderate west-northwest, influencing afternoon surf 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640 quality. 17 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,640 The weekend sees continued northwest swells with occasional fun corners, especially with 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,320 a new south-southwest swell rolling in. 19 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:26,680 Early next week, small to fun-size waves are forecasted, thanks to active storms in the 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,200 Gulf of Alaska. 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,080 Friday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean, at 3 to 4 feet for 22 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,320 the morning, then tapering off in size quickly. 23 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:44,200 Best time to ride is before 10 a.m., and there's not much hope after that. 24 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,920 Get out there for dawn patrol and catch the incoming high tide. 25 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,920 You'll get a nice western swell that's 4 and a half feet at 10 seconds, with 3 mile 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,320 per hour offshore wind. 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,760 Nice. 28 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,360 The first high tide Friday will be 6 feet at 7 a.m., with a minus 1 and a half foot 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,920 low tide at 2. 30 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:14,280 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature. 31 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,320 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 32 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,460 This morning it's partly cloudy and 52 degrees, with no wind. 33 00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:30,040 The sunset will take place at 5.52 and will rise again tomorrow at 6.05. 34 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,320 It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day, with a high near 61 and wind of 5 to 35 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320 10 mile per hour. 36 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 53. 37 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,680 This weekend into Monday enjoy mostly sunny days, with highs around 62 degrees and light 38 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,640 wind shifting northwest. 39 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,200 Nights will be partly cloudy, with lows in the low 50s. 40 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,000 No rain, saying. 41 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,720 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 42 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,360 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. 43 00:03:09,360 -->

--> 00:03:47,600 In local news, Boundless Bio, a San Diego-based biotech startup, has filed to go public, marking 51 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,600 the first life science IPO in the city this year. 52 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,340 After a venture capital surge in 2021, the U.S. market has slowed, facing challenges 53 00:03:58,340 --> 00:04:01,960 like high interest rates and supply chain issues. 54 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,120 Yet recent trends show a selective uptick in dealmaking. 55 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,920 Boundless Bio specializes in developing cancer therapies targeting DNA, linked to certain 56 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:19,160 cancers with a novel approach to prevent salinitation into tumors. 57 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,580 The company's focus is on hard-to-treat oncogene-amplified tumors, offering hope to 58 00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:28,840 patients not responding to existing treatments. 59 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:35,460 The pipeline of three cancer drugs, a diagnostic test, and a proprietary platform, Boundless 60 00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:40,280 Bio aims to address unmet needs in cancer treatment. 61 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:45,520 Despite not disclosing share price or stock amount, it plans to trade on the Nasdaq under 62 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,360 the ticker BOLD. 63 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,400 Now on to sports. 64 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Jake Paul is set to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated match in Texas 65 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,680 this July, marking a significant moment in crossover boxing events. 66 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Despite Mike Tyson's last professional fight being almost 20 years ago, the 57-year-old 67 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,740 will face a much younger opponent in Paul, who has quickly become one of boxing's most 68 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:20,960 talked-about figures. 69 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,280 Paul, with a 9-in-1 record, rose to fame in the boxing world after a viral knockout of 70 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:33,520 Nate Robinson, and now aims to test his skills against Tyson, who was once dubbed the baddest 71 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,920 man on the planet. 72 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,120 This event, described by Paul as potentially the biggest fight in history, showcases his 73 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,800 ambition to become a world champion and will be streamed live on Netflix, leveraging the 74 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,800 platform's massive reach. 75 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,160 No b-ball in Southern California last night. 76 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560 But tonight, the Lakers are at home taking on the Bucs. 77 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,040 And Saturday afternoon, the Clippers are at home playing the Bulls. 78 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,080 Last night in national hockey, the Kings at home beat the Senators 4-3. 79 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:15,440 And tonight, the Ducks are at home skating against the Dallas Stars. 80 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:23,360 In top news, Bitcoin has surged to a new all-time high, buoyed by recent ETFs endorsements, despite 81 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,040 its inherent risks, including the possibility of Satoshi Nakamoto, its enigmatic creator, 82 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,040 returning. 83 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,280 Satoshi, who vanished after 2011, controls a vast number of early Bitcoin wallets, amounting 84 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:44,240 to over 1 million Bitcoins, according to Chainalysis. 85 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:51,160 Speculations about Satoshi's return have reignited, fueled by a mysterious $1.2 million 86 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:58,440 deposit into one of their wallets and a UK trial seeking to uncover their identity. 87 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,400 The debate over Satoshi's identity persists, with some believing in the involvement of 88 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,360 libertarian Nick Szabo and a cryptographer Hal Finney in Bitcoin's creation. 89 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,640 The likelihood of Satoshi revealing themselves is slim, given their ideological commitment 90 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,040 to Bitcoin's decentralization and the practical dangers of coming forward. 91 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Concerns also center on what would happen to Satoshi's $75 billion fortune upon their 92 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,960 death, raising questions about market impact and the potential for a dead man's switch. 93 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Experts argue that, while a mass sell-off by Satoshi could disrupt the market, Bitcoin's 94 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,080 resilience and increased decentralization would ultimately strengthen it. 95 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:55,000 In business news, the S&P 500 achieved its 16th record high this year, signaling optimism 96 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,800 on Wall Street, buoyed by the prospect of eased interest rates. 97 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,480 Financial reserve chair Jerome Powell's hint at potential rate cuts later this year 98 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:12,860 has fueled investor enthusiasm, despite the Fed's cautious approach to inflation data. 99 00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:18,040 This potential monetary policy shift comes after criticism of the Fed's delayed response 100 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,640 to rising inflation, with discussions focusing on the timing of rate reductions to avoid 101 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,400 economic slowdown. 102 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,800 Recent reports suggesting a reduction in inflationary pressures and improvements in worker productivity 103 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:40,640 have contributed to a positive outlook, influencing Treasury yields and stock market dynamics. 104 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,400 In the job market, a forthcoming report is anticipated to reflect a balance between a 105 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:53,520 robust employment sector and conditions favorable for the Fed's rate-cut considerations. 106 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,680 Market earnings, notably Kroger's surprising profit and Nvidia's continued rise due to 107 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:04,840 AI technology interest, have also played a role in market trends, contrasting with some 108 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,640 companies' less optimistic forecasts. 109 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:16,320 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently over $67,000 and steadily climbing. 110 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:23,800 Ethereum is nearing $4,000 and Solana is $145. 111 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,680 Wow, what a week! 112 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,400 Moving on to a more local vibe. 113 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,400 In our community spotlight on health and maleness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 114 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,600 to

affirms its benefits. 119 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,160 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 120 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,480 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 121 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,640 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 122 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,800 And now back to the show. 123 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,760 Let's talk tech. 124 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,800 TikTok has mobilized its extensive user base in a direct confrontation with Congress, aiming 125 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,800 to derail a bill that seeks to sever the app's ties to China. 126 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,640 The company issued alerts to users specifically targeting those whose representatives are 127 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,240 on the Energy and Commerce Committee, urging them to oppose what it described as a potential 128 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,560 U.S. fan. 129 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:52,160 This bill, necessitating bite dance to divest TikTok or face exclusion from U.S. app stores, 130 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,280 has prompted mixed reactions from congressional offices, with some dismissing the calls as 131 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,280 lacking substance. 132 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,960 Despite TikTok's efforts, the committee unanimously voted to advance the bill, illustrating the 133 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,040 app's contentious standing and the government's intent to regulate its influence and operational 134 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,040 ties. 135 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:19,160 The situation reflects ongoing debates over digital privacy, foreign influence, and the 136 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:25,360 balance between national security and free speech within the broader context of U.S.-China 137 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,800 relations. 138 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:37,560 And in entertainment news, Bob Marley, One Love, the musical biopic, surpassed expectations 139 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:44,560 at the box office, drawing in $52 million over its opening holiday stretch, and is nearing 140 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,600 $150 million globally after three weeks. 141 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,120 Despite mixed critical reviews, audiences responded positively, awarding the film an 142 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:01,280 A for Cinema Score, a validation that resonated with Ziggy Marley, the film's producer and 143 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,760 Marley's son. 144 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,920 The film's success echoes Bob Marley's own experience with music critics, underscoring 145 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:15,600 a historical pattern where the public's reception diverges from critical appraisal. 146 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,440 Paramount's strategic marketing and the film's authentic portrayal of Marley's life and 147 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:26,960 music have been key factors in its success, showcasing the universal appeal of Bob Marley's 148 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,000 legacy. 149 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,640 The success of One Love reflects a growing audience demand for genuine storytelling and 150 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:41,600 musical biopics, potentially influencing future projects within the genre and broader cinematic 151 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,360 narratives focused on stories of color. 152 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 153 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,080 And today, in honor of National Women's Day, here's a quote from one of the funniest women 154 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,080 alive. 155 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,080 I must have had at least eight in my mouth. 156 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,080 I couldn't talk. 157 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,080 I couldn't talk. 158 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080 Why'd you have to eat so many? 159 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Because they're jujji fruit. 160 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,560 I like them. 161 00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:14,080 I didn't know it would start a chain reaction that would lead to the independent publishing. 162 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,400 Not to mention the end of Kramer's coffee table book. 163 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,400 You knew he had a cold. 164 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400 How'd you expect him to blow his nose? 165 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,040 You know what's going on here? 166 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840 Can't you see what's happened? 167 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,040 I've become George. 168 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Don't say that. 169 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,000 It's true. 170 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000 I'm George. 171 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000 I'm George. 172 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,280 You ought to watch out for those jujji fruit. 173 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720 We love you, Julia. 174 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,000 Have a great weekend, everyone.
