00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,080 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:22,160 Thirty-six years ago, today in 1988, Wayne Gretzky, a Canadian hockey player, was traded 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,480 from the Edmond and Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings, a deal that shocked the sports world 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,360 and stunned his home country where he was a national icon. 7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,040 This monumental trade changed the landscape of professional hockey and highlighted Gretzky's 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,560 immense impact on the sport. 9 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,640 So now you know. 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,840 And now it's time for the Surf Report. 11 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Expect a mix of waist-to-chest high waves from the

00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,440 In local news, the Padres are currently the hottest team in major league baseball. 48 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Since the All-Star break, San Diego has gone 13-3, the best record in the majors during 49 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,520 this span. 50 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,560 Here are 5 reasons why this success is sustainable. 51 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,400 First, their bullpen shortens games, allowing high-leverage relievers to rest while maintaining 52 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,280 strong performance. 53 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,920 Second, the offense fits well together, highlighted by Donovan Solano's impactful signing. 54 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:33,120 Third, they are built for October with a deep bullpen, versatile lineup, and strong rotation. 55 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Fourth, they could improve further with Joe Musgrove and possibly you, Darvish, returning. 56 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,800 And lastly, the team's positive vibes and camaraderie are palpable, creating an enjoyable 57 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:52,280 winning environment. 58 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,720 Now on to sports. 59 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,300 The United States men's basketball team triumphed over Serbia in a thrilling semifinal, securing 60 00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,480 a 95-91 victory. 61 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Steph Curry dazzled with 36 points on 12-19 shooting. 62 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,340 Kevin Durant and Devin Booker ignited a fourth-quarter rally with consecutive three-pointers, changing 63 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:19,680 the game's momentum. 64 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,600 The United States will now face France for the gold medal at 9.30 p.m. local time on 65 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,280 Saturday. 66 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,560 LeBron James praised Curry's performance, saying, it was only a matter of time before 67 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,720 he had one of these games. 68 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:43,160 Serbia's Nikola Djokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic led their team with strong performances. 69 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:51,120 In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Pirates 7-6. 70 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,720 The Padres are on the road in Miami to take on the Marlins. 71 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,680 In top news, Les Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, is reaping benefits from 72 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,560 a $1 million seed investment in Atlantic crypto, now known as CoreWeave. 73 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,800 His family trusts Stake in CoreWeave, which is valued at $19 billion, has ballooned to 74 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,280 $720 million. 75 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:28,560 This investment, initially advised by Florence Capital Advisors, is now under legal scrutiny. 76 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,040 CoreWeave, once a struggling cryptocurrency miner, evolved into a major AI cloud service 77 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,040 provider. 78 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,900 Wexner's real estate moves, including land sales to tech giants, have further solidified 79 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:44,700 his financial standing. 80 00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:52,600 In business news, the

plans to lay off its entire California workforce and delist from the stock market, 83 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,160 just three years after going public. 84 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,560 Despite broader industry struggles, many issues were unique to Vintage, including its rushed 85 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,960 public listing through a special-purpose acquisition corporation in 2021. 86 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Financial reporting errors, lawsuits, and leadership changes further compounded its 87 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,720 problems. 88 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,560 The industry may now see a disruption in merger and acquisition cycles, with Vintage's assets 89 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,160 hitting the market at discounted prices. 90 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,720 In

its customers, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 107 00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:01,200 FTX misled customers with an illusion that it was a safe and secure place to access crypto 108 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,160 markets, then misappropriated their deposits for risky investments, said Chairman Rosten 109 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,720 Benham. 110 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:16,880 The
