interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,680 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,360 But first, you'll be interested to know 84 years ago, today in 1940. 7 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,920 In San Bernardino, California, brothers Morris Mack and Richard McDonald opened a drive-in 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,520 restaurant that gave rise to the fast food chain McDonald's. 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,400 So now you know. 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,240 And now you know what time it is. 11 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,480 It's time for the surf report. 12

--> 00:01:05,600 The consistent southwest swell will provide cleaner conditions in the mornings thanks 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,760 to light offshore wind. 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:15,880 However, as the day progresses, expect wind to shift onshore, increasing to 10-15 mph and 17 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,560 creating bumpier conditions, especially in the afternoons. 18 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,880 Wednesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet until 19 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,720 11. 20 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,920 After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset. 21 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,640 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2.5-foot outgoing tide when the south-southeast swell 22 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,120 is 2 feet at 15 seconds and the offshore wind is 2 mph. 23 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:52,040 The first low tide Wednesday will be 1 foot just after 11 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide 24 00:01:52,040 -->

Diego County Fair is embracing a nostalgic theme this year titled 47 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Let's Go Retro. 48 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,920 Running from June 12 to July 7, at the Delmar Fairgrounds, the fair will offer a dive into 49 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,940 the past, spanning from the 1950s to the millennium. 50 00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:01,880 This 20-day event is packed with activities ranging from animal showcases to thrilling 51 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,560 rides, games, live music and more. 52 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,000 The fair is not only a hub of entertainment,

the limits 59 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,720 towards $60 million annually. 60 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:52,440 Following Jared Goff's lucrative deal of $212 million over four years, other quarterbacks 61 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:59,000 like Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa are poised to negotiate significant 62 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,160 contracts, possibly reaching or exceeding $50 million a year. 63 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,200 That Prescott is also in discussions for a substantial extension. 64 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,800 The trend reflects the rising salary cap and the increasing importance of quarterbacks 65 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800 in the league's strategic plays. 66 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,160 As negotiations progress, these quarterbacks are likely to further elevate the salary standards 67 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080 for their position. 68 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:34,480 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Rockies 6-3, and they close 69 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,780 out the series this afternoon in a getaway game as they head to Atlanta for their four-game 70 00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:44,560 series starting Friday. 71 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:51,680 And top news, according to Fitch Ratings, homes in 90% of major U.S. metropolitan areas 72 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,800 are currently overvalued, with the most significant price increases occurring in the southern 73 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,120 states including Tennessee, Arkansas and South Carolina. 74 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,720 As of the end of 2023, homes nationwide were overvalued by 11%. 75 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Despite a recent increase in home listings, suggesting a move toward market normalization, 76 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:20,040 high mortgage rates and escalating home prices continue to challenge the housing market. 77 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,280 The 30-year mortgage rate averaged 7% as of early May. 78 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:32,240 Fitch anticipates that home price growth could decelerate significantly in 2024. 79 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:40,160 In business news, U.S. digital bank, Chime, is introducing a new financial product, MyPay, 80 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:47,160 which allows customers early access to up to $500 of their wages before payday. 81 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,520 This product aligns with the growing trend in earned-wage access services that cater 82 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,240 to Americans who need funds between paychecks, especially gig workers and freelancers. 83 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,160 MyPay will operate without mandatory fees, interest or credit checks, relying on historical 84 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,360 wage data to estimate available amounts. 85 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,440 As Chime prepares for a potential public offering in the near future, CEO Chris Britt views 86 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:21,920 MyPay as both a way to enhance customer engagement and a strategic move to attract new users. 87 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,280 This launch comes amid ongoing regulatory discussions on whether EOASH should be classified 88 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,760 as a loan, which would impose stricter regulations. 89 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,800 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $61,500. 90 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Ethereum is $2,800. 91 00:07:40,520 -->

00:08:35,880 And now back to the show. 103 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,120 Let's talk tech. 104 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:46,560 Google is set to enhance its Gemini 1.5 Pro AI model by doubling its context window to 105 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:54,400 2 million tokens, a move that significantly expands the model's data processing capacity. 106 00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,400 This increase allows the AI to analyze and remember more information for longer periods, 107 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,000 reducing the quality of interactions and responses. 108 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,840 The term tokens refers to segments of data, like words or parts of words, that the AI 109 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,680 uses to understand and generate language. 110 00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:20,320 A larger context window enables the AI to handle more complex queries and provide more 111 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:27,320 detailed responses, potentially transforming how users interact with Google's technologies. 112 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,280 This update, still in private preview for developers, marks a significant step in AI 113 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:40,320 development, aiming toward infinite context, where AI could access and utilize an unlimited 114 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,320 amount of data. 115 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:50,800 And in entertainment news, Only Murders in the Building returns for its fourth season 116 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,040 with an exciting new teaser. 117 00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Set to premiere on Hulu on August 27, the beloved series takes its trio, Martin Short, 118 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,960 Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez, to Los Angeles. 119 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,280 This season revolves around a Hollywood studio's interest in making a film about their podcast, 120 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680 amidst their investigation into the latest murder. 121 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,980 The plot thickens as they question who the true target was, leading to more mystery and 122 00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:22,640 intrigue back in New York. 123 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,600 The cast is joined by stars such as Meryl Streep and Eugene Levy enhancing the already 124 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,640 dynamic ensemble. 125 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:37,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 126 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,880 And today, our quote comes from the great comedian Martin Short. 127 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,880 He said, 128 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,360 My natural state is to be happy. 129 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,800 I'm naturally buoyant. 130 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,200 I wake up feeling, what a great morning. 131 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,600 I had some tragedy in my life, absolutely, but I don't know one human being who hasn't. 132 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,440 You either learn from it and become empowered by it, or you become a victim to it. 133 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,280 It's life after all. 134 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,800 And that's a wrap for this morning. 135 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,720 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 136
