00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, May 3rd.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,760
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,880
At first, you'll be interested to know 72 years ago, today, in 1952.

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,320
The Kentucky Derby, the most prestigious American horse race, was televised nationally in the

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600
United States for the first time.

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,760
The winning horse was Hill Gale, ridden by jockey Eddie Arcaro.

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,640
So now you know.

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,480
And now you know what time it is.

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,320
It's time for the surf report.

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,200
A small new southwest, or south-southwest swell, starts to show Friday and into the

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,000
weekend, with most breaks under waist-high, but a few chest-high sets at South County

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,160
focal points.

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:14,000
Friday in Encinitas and North County is looking fair at 2 to 4 feet until noon.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,600
After that is looking choppy with 10-mile-per-hour wind.

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a 3-foot outgoing tide, when the south-southeast swell

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,900
is 2 feet at 15 seconds and the offshore wind is 3 mile-per-hour.

20
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:39,160
The first high tide Friday will be 5 feet at 6 a.m. with a 0-foot low tide at 1230.

21
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:47,080
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 64 degrees for the water temperature.

22
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area.

23
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,440
This morning it's cloudy and feels like 58 degrees with 5 mile-per-hour wind.

24
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,380
The sunset will take place at 732 and will rise again tomorrow at 558.

25
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:09,640
It looks a grin for some clouds to start, then gradually becoming mostly sunny with

26
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:14,720
a high near 65 and wind of 5 to 10 mile-per-hour.

Any morning send you!

46
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,960
In local news, Live Nation is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Concert Week with

47
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,660
a special ticket sale.

48
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:52,320
For the first time, the sale will expand globally, including tickets for concerts across Australia,

49
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,080

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480
fees and taxes.

52
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,240
This year's sale features over 5,000 performances in the US and Canada, significantly up from

53
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,760
last year.

54
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Notably, San Diego will host 117 concerts, including artists like Jaina Jackson, Santana

55
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,840
and Iron Maiden, across various venues like North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre and

56
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,260
House of Blues.

57
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:36,400
Now on to sports.

58
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:44,200
In the NBA playoffs, the Indiana Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks with a decisive 120-98

59
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,740
victory in Game 6, despite Damian Lillard's return and team-high 28 points.

60
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:57,520
The Pacers showcased a strong performance led by Obie Toppin, with 21 points and TJ McConnell's

61
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840
vital 20 points.

62
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:05,380
They now await the winner of the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers series to determine

63
00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:07,460
their next opponent.

64
00:05:07,460 --> 00:05:11,840
The Bucks, on the other hand, struggled with injuries throughout the series, impacting

65
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,440
their performance and ultimately contributing to their early exit from the playoffs.

66
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:25,680
In local sports, tonight, the Padres are on the road in Arizona to take on the Diamond

67
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:34,000
Bax, and the Clippers are on the road in Dallas for Game 6, taking on the Mavericks.

68
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,360
In top news, Block, led by CEO Jack Dorsey, has announced a new initiative as part of

69
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,280
its first quarter earnings.

70
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:50,800
The payments firm is using 10% of its monthly Bitcoin-related gross profit to purchase additional

71
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,160
Bitcoin throughout 2024.

72
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,160
This strategy, which began in April, could potentially add $24 million in Bitcoin to

73
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,560
its balance sheet by year's end, based on first quarter profits.

74
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,840
Already holding a substantial amount of Bitcoin, Block has also released a Bitcoin blueprint

75
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:15,880
for corporate balance sheets, detailing its acquisition and management strategies for

76
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,280
crypto assets.

77
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:23,440
This blueprint offers guidance on purchasing large Bitcoin amounts without impacting market

78
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:30,160
prices, along with information on custody, insurance, and accounting for these assets.

79
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,600
In business news, Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, reported a significant

80
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:45,200
revenue increase of 72% in the first quarter, reaching over $1.5 billion and surpassing

81
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,040
analysts' expectations.

82
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:54,060
The surge in revenue, which resulted in a net income of just over $1 billion, was driven

83
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:59,680
by a rise in transaction volumes linked to a broader market upswing.

84
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,520
Consumer transaction revenue nearly doubled, and institutional trading saw substantial

85
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,600
growth, with volumes more than doubling.

86
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,220
Additionally, the quarter witnessed an all-time high in Bitcoin prices, contributing further

87
00:07:13,220 --> 00:07:16,760
to Coinbase's financial success.

88
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,480
Despite these gains, transaction expenses also rose sharply by 73%, reflecting the costs

89
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,400
associated with increased trading activities.

90
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:36,840
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $59,000, Ethereum is just under $3,000, and Solana

91
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,640
is $138.

92
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,000
Moving on to a more local vibe.

93
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,960
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

94
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,280
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

96
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,320

97
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,800
and elevating mental well-being.

98
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,140
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

99
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:19,440
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

100
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,700
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

101
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:28,820
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

102
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:32,520
And now back to the show.

103
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Let's talk science.

104
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,760
Maze Night Sky promises a splendid display for astronomy enthusiasts.

105
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:46,120
The Etta Aquarids meteor shower, originating from Halley's Comet, will peak on May 5th,

106
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,040
offering up to 30 meteors per hour in dark sky locations.

107
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,720
This shower is notable for its broad peak, providing excellent viewing opportunities

108
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400
a week before and after the peak date.

109
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Additionally, the constellation scene shifts as we transition from spring to summer stars.

110
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Key highlights include the Big Dipper, which acts as a navigational guide to other stars

111
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,920
and constellations like Polaris and Regulus.

112
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,860
As the month progresses, the moon phases from its last quarter to a full flower moon on

113
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:26,380
May 23, illuminating the night with this seasonal bloom.

114
00:09:26,380 --> 00:09:32,480
For planetary sightings, Saturn will be visible in the early morning sky, enhancing the celestial

115
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:39,160
experience.

116
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:45,920
The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch, premiered in March at the 2024 South by Southwest Film

117
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,200
Festival, where it received high praise from critics.

118
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:56,200
The film, known for its daring stunts, officially opens in U.S. theaters today.

119
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,520
It features a groundbreaking stunt that broke the record for the longest canon role, a record

120
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,240
previously held since the 2009 film Casino Royale.

121
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,680
Ryan Gosling described the day of the stunt as extremely tense.

122
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:18,180
The film is expected to be a hit, so audiences are advised to get their tickets early, especially

123
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:20,320
for IMAX showings.

124
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,680
Later it will be available on streaming services, likely Peacock, as it is distributed by Universal

125
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:27,680
Pictures.

126
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:33,720
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

127
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,000
And today, our quote comes from Michael Saylor.

128
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,200
He's one of Bitcoin's biggest proponents, and he's also the CEO of the publicly traded

129
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480
company MicroStrategy.

130
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,240
His company has nearly 8 billion dollars invested in Bitcoin.

131
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,360
And he once said this about the world's most valuable cryptocurrency.

132
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,680
Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire

133
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:08,960
of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster and stronger behind a wall of encrypted

134
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,240
energy.

135
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,820
And that's a wrap for this morning.

136
00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:19,880
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

137
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,560
with local news and the surf reports.

138
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,680
Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.

139
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:54,680
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
