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 --> 00:00:23,840 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,060 But first, you'll be interested to know. 7 00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:30,080 Today is National Shrimp Day. 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,240 Known as the fruit of the sea, these versatile crustaceans can even glow in the dark. 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,160 Malvis Presley immortalized them in song, reflecting their cultural significance. 10 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,680 Enthusiasts can indulge in various preparations, grilled, fried or chilled, and served in sandwiches, 11 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 salads or with cocktail sauce. 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,560 Feels like a shrimp taco night. 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,440 So now you know. 14 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,600 And now you know what time it is. 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,320 It's time for the surf report. 16 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,360 Expect waist-to-stomach high waves with occasional chest-high sets on Friday. 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,840 South County San Diego focal points still push chest-to-head high, but with inconsistency. 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Light and variable wind in the morning shifts to onshore west, or west-northwest wind, in 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,720 the afternoon. 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,400 The weekend sees a new round-of-long period southwest swell, with waist-to-stomach, occasional 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,560 chest-high waves, and chest-high to head-high surf at South County magnets. 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Friday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking clean to fare at 2 to 3 feet in the 23 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,760 morning with a rough patch from 11 to 6. 24 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,880 It's looking decent at sunset, though. 25 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,360 Last time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a zero-foot incoming tide when the northwest swell is 26 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,160 2 feet at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 mile per hour. 27 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:09,320 The first high tide Friday will be 4 feet at 1230 with a 2-foot low tide at 430. 28 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:18,800 The nearshore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 29 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,680 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's mostly cloudy and 30 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,080 feels like 58 degrees with 2 mile per hour wind. 31 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:37,280 The sunset will take place at 737 and it will rise again tomorrow at 552. 32 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,880 It looks like we're in for a mostly cloudy morning, then gradually becoming sunny with 33 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,720 a high near 64 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 34 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,920 Tonight, mostly cloudy with a low around 59. 35 00:02:52,920 --> 00:03:00,280 Looking ahead in the weather, this weekend will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid-60s. 36 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,560 Saturday will gradually become sunny while Sunday will start mostly cloudy, then gradually 37 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,760 become sunny. 38 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Next week starts with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 65 on Monday, becoming sunny 39 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,160 in the afternoon. 40 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Tuesday will follow a similar pattern, starting cloudy and turning mostly sunny with a high 41 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,200 near 64. 42 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,360 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 43 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,320 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 44 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north

may soon see changes in their electricity bills due 52 00:04:07,420 --> 00:04:13,200 to a proposal aimed at making energy costs more affordable, particularly for lower-income 53 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,920 families. 54 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:23,100 This initiative follows a 2022 law requiring a plan to adjust electric rates by July 2024. 55 00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:29,160 The California Public Utilities Commission is considering a plan proposed by SDG&E for 56 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,360 an income-based fixed-rate system. 57 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,440 If approved, this would set a flat monthly rate of $24 for most consumers, with significant 58 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,800 reductions for those in financial assistance programs who would pay $12 or even $6. 59 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,680 While the proposal is praised for promoting equity, it faces opposition from the California 60 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,720 Senate, Republican caucus, which fears it could lead to higher costs, and discourage 61 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,160 energy conservation. 62 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,520 The decision will be made in a vote later this week, with potential implementations 63 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:13,120 slated for late 2025 or early 2026. 64 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Now on to sports. 65 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,760 Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverly has been suspended for the first four games of 66 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,560 the upcoming NBA season without pay. 67 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,620 The suspension comes as a result of Beverly throwing a basketball into the stands, striking 68 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:35,320 a fan, during the Bucks' playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers. 69 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Beverly has accepted responsibility for his actions and expressed remorse for the incident. 70 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,860 This isn't Beverly's first encounter with disciplinary action from the league, as he 71 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:52,360 has a history of on-court altercations and unsportsmanlike conduct. 72 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,840 No games in San Diego last night, but tonight. 73 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:03,600 The Padres are at home to take on the Dodgers in the first game of a three-game series. 74 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:11,160 The San Diego Padres, despite a 500 record, are showing promising signs of improvement. 75 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,760 Robert Suarez's emergence as a reliable closer and improved team chemistry are key factors 76 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,360 contributing to this positive outlook. 77 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,120 However, concerns remain regarding the starting rotation's death and Xander Bogart's struggles 78 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,960 at the plate. 79 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,000 Jorickson Profar's positive influence on a team's culture highlights his value beyond 80 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,800 individual statistics. 81 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:44,600 In top news, new research suggests that famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven may have suffered 82 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,320 from lead poisoning, potentially contributing to his lifelong health issues, including his 83 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,720 well-known deafness. 84 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,260 High levels of lead were discovered in authenticated locks of Beethoven's hair, along with elevated 85 00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:01,200 levels of arsenic and mercury. 86 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,120 While the lead poisoning wasn't deemed severe enough to be the sole cause of death, it's 87 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,520 believed to have played a role in his gastrointestinal problems, hearing loss, and other ailments. 88 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,280 The source of the lead poisoning is suspected to be a combination of factors, including 89 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,840 his consumption of wine and fish, both of which could have been contaminated with lead, 90 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,720 arsenic, and mercury during his lifetime. 91 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,960 In business news, WeWork, the popular co-working company, has successfully renegotiated its 92 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,540 leases in Atlanta as part of its bankruptcy proceedings. 93 00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:44,040 The company will continue operating six of its 11 locations in the metro Atlanta area, 94 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,640 focusing on profitable spaces. 95 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,920 Five unprofitable locations, including its office on the Beltline Eastside Trail, will 96 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,040 be closed. 97 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,960 This move comes as WeWork has reduced its global rent commitments by over $11 billion, 98 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,480 aiming for a more sustainable future. 99 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,720 The company anticipates emerging from bankruptcy by the end of May, expressing gratitude to 100 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,440 landlords for their cooperation during this process. 101 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:22,760 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,000, Ethereum is just under $3,000, and 102 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,440 Solana is $151. 103 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840 Moving on to a more local vibe. 104 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,800 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 105 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,120 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 106 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,960 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 107

00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,980 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 110 00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:06,280 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 111 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,560 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 112 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:15,680 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 113 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,400 And now back to the show. 114 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,600 Let's talk tech. 115 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:28,760 OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT, is set to announce its new AI-powered 116 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,420 search product on Monday. 117 00:09:31,420 --> 00:09:36,600 This move directly challenges Google's dominance in the search engine market and intensifies 118 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,840 the competition between the two tech giants. 119 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,080 OpenAI's search product aims to provide users with more accurate and real-time information 120 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,500 by integrating with the web and including citations in its responses. 121 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:56,360 The announcement is strategically timed just before Google's annual conference, where 122 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,840 Google is expected to unveil its own AI-related advancements. 123 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,200 And in entertainment news. 124 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,520 A recent court ruling regarding the use of a video clip in the Tiger King docu-series 125 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,680 has raised concerns among filmmakers about the potential limitations on fair use of copyrighted 126 00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,480 material in documentaries. 127 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,360 The court determined that the use of a funeral video excerpt was not transformative enough 128 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,680 to qualify as fair use, potentially setting a precedent that could restrict the use of 129 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,560 unlicensed footage in documentaries. 130 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,480 Filmmakers and industry groups argue that this ruling could have a chilling effect on 131 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:45,680 documentary filmmaking, particularly for projects that rely on archival footage or news clips. 132 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:50,480 They emphasize the importance of fair use for non-fiction storytelling and warn that 133 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,760 the ruling could lead to increased costs and legal challenges for documentarians. 134 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 135 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,160 And today, in honor of National Shrimp Day, our quote comes from everyone's favorite 136 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,160 bubba. 137 00:11:08,160

it, brawl it, bake it, saute it. 140 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:29,240 There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan-fried, deep-fried, stir-fried. 141 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,520 There's

00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:51,080 That's, that's about it. 144 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,680 And that's a wrap for this morning. 145 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,720 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 146 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,440 with local news and the surf reports. 147 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,560 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 148
