Damon Jones, a former NBA player 00:04:22.459 --> 00:04:25.199 and assistant coach, has found himself at the 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.839 center of a significant betting scandal. He is 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.519 accused of leaking inside information to sports 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.160 bettors using his friendship with LeBron James. 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.560 Jones was arrested last week as part of a federal 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.060 investigation into an illegal gambling ring linked 00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:46.000 to organized crime.

In top news, 00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:20.589 food stamp funding is set to run out in a matter 00:06:20.589 --> 00:06:23.670 of days amid the country's second longest government 00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:26.709 shutdown, leaving struggling Americans without 00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:29.550 financial assistance during a period of higher 00:06:29.550 --> 00:06:32.750 grocery prices. The United States Department 00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:35.529 of Agriculture, which operates the Supplemental 00:06:35.529 --> 00:06:38.589 Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known 00:06:38.589 --> 00:06:42.329 as SNAP, stated that, at this time, there will 00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:47.209 be no benefits issued November 1st.

Public 00:06:53.050 --> 00:06:55.949 policy professor Luke Schaeffer warned that many 00:06:55.949 --> 00:06:58.769 may face tough choices, saying, am I going to 00:06:58.769 --> 00:07:01.189 pay my rent, or am I going to eat this month? 00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:05.129 Contingency funding remains available, but the 00:07:05.129 --> 00:07:08.310 agency claims it cannot use that money for regular 00:07:08.310 --> 00:07:14.209 benefits. In business news, Sora has lost its 00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:18.519 App Store crown to Dave's Hot Chicken. This popular 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.920 app has taken the top spot, ending Sora's impressive 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.839 weeks -long reign. Since its launch on September 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.759 30th, Sora dominated the charts due to its user 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:34.240 -friendly AI video generation. However, on Friday, 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:37.120 it was dethroned by Dave's Hot Chicken, which 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.100 is running a promotion for free sliders to celebrate 00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:44.149 Drake's birthday.

Many 00:07:53.670 --> 00:07:56.069 quick service chains have succeeded similarly. 00:07:57.209 --> 00:08:00.490 As digital sales rise, maintaining direct customer 00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:04.389 relationships becomes increasingly vital.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:15.330 --> 00:09:19.549 tech. Scammers are targeting Americans in a clever 00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:22.990 new debit card scheme. While many believe credit 00:09:22.990 --> 00:09:25.750 cards are the most targeted payment method, it 00:09:25.750 --> 00:09:28.429 is actually debit cards that fraudsters pursue 00:09:28.429 --> 00:09:32.269 the most. A recent Federal Reserve survey indicates 00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:36.450 a rise in such cases. One bizarre scheme involves 00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:38.990 victims being told to destroy their debit cards 00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:42.590 while leaving the chip intact. Skimmers then 00:09:42.590 --> 00:09:45.129 collect these cards using social engineering 00:09:45.129 --> 00:09:48.250 to obtain PIN numbers and access bank accounts. 00:09:49.409 --> 00:09:51.809 Consumers are at greater risk of loss with debit 00:09:51.809 --> 00:09:54.929 cards as funds are withdrawn immediately upon 00:09:54.929 --> 00:09:59.309 unauthorized access. To protect yourself, monitor 00:09:59.309 --> 00:10:02.490 your accounts regularly and avoid sharing sensitive 00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:10.799 information. Some people are good at making hit 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.580 television and streaming shows. Taylor Sheridan 00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:17.639 is really good at it, as he is the creator of 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.559 Yellowstone, Landmen, and more. That is why it 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.340 is surprising that he is leaving Paramount, which 00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:27.539 was counting on him to create more hits for Comcast. 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.799 Sheridan is arguably the most powerful creator 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.870 in television and streaming today. generating 00:10:34.870 --> 00:10:39.269 a reported $2 .9 billion in revenue from Yellowstone 00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:43.129 alone. It is a puzzling decision, especially 00:10:43.129 --> 00:10:46.289 for Paramount's new owner, David Ellison, who 00:10:46.289 --> 00:10:50.629 knows the value of a single megastar. Well, all 00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:53.289 righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the 00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:57.509 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:10:57.509 --> 00:11:03.070 poet and author T .S. Eliot. And he said, The 00:11:03.070 --> 00:11:06.350 journey, not the arrival, matters as we celebrate 00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:09.289 the companionship and joy our feline friends 00:11:09.289 --> 00:11:13.549 bring into our lives. And that's a wrap for this 00:11:13.549 --> 00:11:17.070 morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, 00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:20.509 and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 00:11:20.509 --> 00:11:24.850 with local news and the surf reports. Have an 00:11:24.850 --> 00:11:27.590 amazing day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow 00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:30.909 with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
