into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,140 and entertainment. 21 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:27,620 But first, you'll be interested to know today is National Let's Laugh Day. 22 00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:32,880 So go find the funniest person you know and ask them to tell you a joke or just watch 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,880 an episode of Seinfeld. 24 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,080 Kramer will have you laughing in no time. 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,800 So now you know. 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,320 And now you know what time it is. 27 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,440 It's time for the surf report. 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,600 It's a mix of northwest and south-southwest swells. 29 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Expect knee-to-waist high waves at most spots with chest-high sets at winter standout locations. 30 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Light and variable wind in the morning will shift to light westerly onshore in the afternoon. 31 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,640 Wednesday sees the continuation of these conditions with the addition of a new south-southwest 32 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,480 swell, maintaining knee-to-waist high surf with potential chest-high waves at favored 33 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,920 spots. 34 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:25,520 Tuesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking clean at 2 plus feet until 10. 35 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Then we'll have another hour before the chop suey rolls in to spoil the fun. 36 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:34,840 Mornings are where it's at for the next few days. 37 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Best time to ride is Dawn Patrol, so you can get on that 4-foot high tide when the southwest 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:47,680 swell is 1 foot at 20 seconds and wind is 3 mile per hour. 39 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480 It looks like a longboard day. 40 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,680 The first high tide Tuesday will be 4 and a half feet at 615 AM with a minus half foot 41 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,000 low tide at 215. 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,040 The nearshore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. 43 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,720 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's partly cloudy and 44 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160 53 degrees with little wind. 45 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:22,280 The sunset will take place at 7 and it will rise again tomorrow at 651. 46 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,100 Winner winner, chicken dinner. 47 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,880 It looks like we're in for mostly sun today with a high near 62 and wind of 5 to 10 mile 48 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,240 per hour. 49 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Tonight, hatchy fog late with a low around 55. 50 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,200 Looking ahead in the weather, Wednesday starts with morning fog leading to partly sunny skies 51 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,560 and a high near 63 degrees. 52 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,760 The night will see fog and more clouds with lows around 55. 53 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,880 Thursday and Friday follow a similar pattern, morning fog, then clearing to highs around 54 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,720 63 degrees. 55 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Saturday remains mostly cloudy with a high of 62 while the night introduces a slight 56 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,840 chance of rain and a low of 55 degrees. 57 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:18,040 Sunday offers partly sunny skies with a slight chance of rain and a cooler high near 59. 58 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,060 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 59 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:27,720 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 60 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:34,280 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 61 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,080 for culinary delights. 62 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,720 Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their

Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has inked a two-year, 68 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:11,360 $62 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, enriching their pitching staff. 69 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,200 This deal, coming just before opening day, includes an opt-out after the first year. 70 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,320 Snell signing is part of the Giants' impactful off-season moves, including acquiring Matt 71 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:30,360 Chapman and several other key players, showcasing their ambitious team-building strategy. 72 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,180 Snell's performance with the San Diego Padres, leading in ERA and other metrics, sets high 73 00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:45,480 expectations for his tenure with the Giants. 74 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Now on to sports. 75 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,560 The Pittsburgh Steelers acquiring Justin Fields has sparked speculation about his future with 76 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,540 the team, especially regarding his $25.7 million fifth-year option. 77 00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:05,400 With Fields positioned as the backup quarterback behind newly signed Russell Wilson, the likelihood 78 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,480 of the Steelers committing to such a substantial financial guarantee appears slim. 79 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,680 ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests it would be surprising if Pittsburgh opts for the fifth-year 80 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,760 extension before seeing Fields perform within their system. 81 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,800 While the door remains open for Fields to secure a long-term deal based on his performance, 82 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,720 the immediate focus is on his adaptation to the Steelers' playbook and potential future 83 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,840 contributions. 84 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:43,520 Last night in the NBA, the Lakers at home beat the Hawks 136-105. 85 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,360 And in national hockey, the Ducks on the road lost to the Blues 4-2. 86 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,500 Tonight the Ducks are back home to skate with the Wild, and the Kings are at home too, taking 87 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:58,320 on the Blackhawks. 88 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:04,940 In top news, the U.S. is taking significant strides toward developing a lunar economy 89 00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:11,000 with NASA's Artemis program aiming to return humans to the moon and foster a space where 90 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,200 NASA isn't the only customer. 91 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,820 DARPA, known for supporting emerging technologies, has joined the effort with its Luna 10 study 92 00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:27,640 aiming to understand how to create a thriving lunar economy by 2035. 93 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,320 Working with major space and non-space firms, DARPA is exploring services like power and 94 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,000 communications for the moon. 95 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,480 Major, Michael Warbitt-Niak, the program manager, has identified six technological areas that 96 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,400 could accelerate the lunar economy, ranging from centralized heating and cooling, to silicon 97 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,280 wafer manufacturing and a lunar GPS system. 98 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,480 While DARPA's request for information does not guarantee funding, it marks a clear interest 99 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:07,240 in lunar commercial activities and could lead to federal support for innovative solutions. 100 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:14,520 In business news, Reddit is poised to enter Wall Street, but its IPO might not signal 101 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,760 a broader market revival. 102 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:25,360 Despite a previous $10 billion valuation, experts now suggest a more realistic $6.4 103 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,880 billion. 104 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:33,060 With revenue growth slowing and no profitability, Reddit stock could mimic the cyclical nature 105 00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:37,000 of peers like Snapchat and Pinterest. 106 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,600 The IPO is generating interest, especially among Reddit users, and boasts notable investors 107 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,280 like Conde Nast and Seymalem. 108 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:53,360 However, competition and concerns over ad revenue sustainability could temper long-term 109 00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,080 excitement, keeping eyes on potential future IPOs from larger unicorns. 110 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:09,960 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $64,000, Ethereum is at $3,300, and Solana 111 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:16,200 is just booming at $183. 112 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 113 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,640 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 114 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,020 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 115 00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:35,360 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 116 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,180 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 117 00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:44,680 and elevating mental well-being. 118 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,040 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 119 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,400 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 120 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,720 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 121 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,880 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 122 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,880 And now back to the show. 123 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720 Let's talk science. 124 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:16,120 A lunar sample return bag containing moon dust from Neil Armstrong's historic 1969 125 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:23,040 moon landing, initially missing, sold for $1.8 million at auction by Nancy Lee Carlson, 126 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,160 who had previously purchased it for under $1,000. 127 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,320 This bag, inadvertently auctioned off by the U.S. Marshalls Service, was legally purchased 128 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,600 by Carlson for $995. 129 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,760 NASA's attempt to reclaim the artifact was denied by a federal court, marking a rare 130 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,040 instance where lunar material legally entered private ownership. 131 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,040 This case underscores the complex history and value of space artifacts, highlighting 132 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,760 both the challenges of preserving national treasures and the intense interest in space 133 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,320 memorabilia. 134 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,440 And in entertainment news, a new mural by the world-famous street artist Banksy has 135 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:17,520 appeared overnight in a North London neighborhood, sparking curiosity and excitement among locals 136 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,680 and visitors alike. 137 00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:25,920 This latest work features bright green paint that mimics foliage behind a large tree, 138 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,800 alongside a portrait of a young person holding a pressure sprayer. 139 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,080 The appearance of the mural has transformed the area into a hub of activity, with people 140 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,540 from various backgrounds coming together to speculate on the artwork's meaning and implications 141 00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:43,960 for the community. 142 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Amidst concerns about rising rents and discussions on environmental messages, the artwork has 143 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:55,640 prompted a broader conversation about public art's role in urban spaces and its potential 144 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,320 to inspire community dialogue and reflection. 145 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,340 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 146 00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:07,160 And today, our quote comes from Banksy himself. 147 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:13,120 If you don't know who Banksy is, we'll post some of his art on our Instagram page. 148 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,880 I've been lucky enough to stumble upon some of his work out in the wild. 149 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,880 Or you can search for Exit Through the Gip Shop on YouTube. 150 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,000 It's a great documentary about the anonymous artist. 151 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,060 So now we'll end today's show with the words of a master street artist. 152 00:12:32,060 --> 00:12:38,400 You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky. 153 00:12:38,400 --> 00:13:05,400 Have a beautiful day everyone.
