You'll be interested 00:00:13.339 --> 00:00:18.600 to know, hey, 100 years ago, today, in 1926, 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.379 a public radio demonstration in London showed 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:25.800 a working television system by transmitting moving 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.940 silhouettes and faces to an audience. dazzling 00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.420 listeners with live visual transmission. That 00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:34.960 milestone proved the practical promise of combining 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.780 radio and visual technology, inspiring inventors 00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:41.979 and broadcasters to pursue commercial television 00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:48.079 development. So now you know. And now, it's time 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:55.310 for the Surf Report. Monday in Encinitas. This 00:00:55.310 --> 00:00:57.409 morning, it's looking clean with waves around 00:00:57.409 --> 00:01:01.810 2 plus feet. Conditions stay clean until around 00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:05.049 10 when the wind shifts on shore, adding a bit 00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:08.549 of bumpiness. By midday, waste builds slightly 00:01:08.549 --> 00:01:12.030 to 2 to 3 feet and remain fair through the afternoon. 00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:15.290 Winds will shift to sideshore later, reaching 00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:19.969 about 7 miles per hour. Best time to ride is 00:01:19.969 --> 00:01:23.689 at 9 a .m. with the 2 -foot outgoing mid -tide 00:01:23.689 --> 00:01:27.030 when the west -southwest swell is 1 feet at 19 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:30.890 seconds and the offshore wind is 2 mile per hour. 00:01:32.349 --> 00:01:35.250 The first low tide on Monday will be a half foot 00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:40.069 at 12 .15 p .m., followed by a 2 .5 -foot high 00:01:40.069 --> 00:01:44.930 tide just before 7. The nearshore buoy at Beacons 00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:50.000 reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.459 remain clean with waves at 2 to 3 plus feet on 00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:56.719 Tuesday and Wednesday, making for enjoyable sessions. 00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:01.060 Thursday sees a steady increase in size, reaching 00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:04.500 3 to 4 plus feet, though choppy conditions may 00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:07.859 develop in the afternoon. Expect the best surfing 00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:10.759 opportunities early in the day before wind shift, 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.780 particularly on Thursday. This morning, it's 00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:20.340 sunny. And it feels like 53 degrees with 10 mile 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.039 per hour wind. The sunset will take place at 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.680 5 .03 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .54. 00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:31.500 It looks like grin for a sunny day with a high 00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:36.240 near 68 and a light north wind around 10. Tonight, 00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:40.780 expect mostly clear skies with a low of 52 and 00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:45.479 a gentle east breeze.

In local 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.879 news, gas prices in San Diego have dropped to 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.479 their lowest since 2021, following a decline 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.479 over the last two months. Despite this, many 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.080 San Diego drivers are still feeling the pinch 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.819 at the pump, as the average cost remains around 00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:06.919 $4. According to Gas Buddy, the cheapest gas 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.740 can be found in North County, with prices as 00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:14.120 low as $3 in Oceanside. The Auto Club anticipates 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.699 that gas prices will remain low through the winter 00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:25.459 before rising again in April. Now onto sports. 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.399 Mike Tomlin has no interest in shifting the weight 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.699 of the Pittsburgh Steelers' recent playoff failures 00:04:32.699 --> 00:04:35.459 onto his players ahead of tonight's game against 00:04:35.459 --> 00:04:39.360 Houston. Tomlin stated, I'm certainly not going 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.019 to unpack my bags on the collective's bed, if 00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:45.680 you will." The Steelers, with a record of 10 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.220 wins and 7 losses, are facing a Texans team on 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.540 a 9 -game winning streak. Aaron Rodgers acknowledged 00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:56.439 the pressure on Tomlin, saying, it feels good 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.379 to shut all those comments down. Steelers wide 00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:03.920 receiver GK Metcalf returns after a suspension, 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:08.410 expressing gratitude to his teammates. Houston's 00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:11.730 coach, D 'Amico Ryans, is confident in his players' 00:05:11.730 --> 00:05:14.930 ability to win, stating, our guys know how to 00:05:14.930 --> 00:05:20.449 win football games. Kickoff is at 8 .15 on ESPN 00:05:20.449 --> 00:05:26.110 in local sports. The New England Patriots, led 00:05:26.110 --> 00:05:29.149 by coach Mike Frable, celebrated their first 00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:33.050 playoff victory since the 2018 season, defeating 00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:36.569 the Los Angeles Chargers 16 -3 in the wild card 00:05:36.569 --> 00:05:40.689 round. Milton Williams secured the win with a 00:05:40.689 --> 00:05:43.529 critical sack on Justin Herbert, celebrating 00:05:43.529 --> 00:05:48.050 with a headbutt that left Vrabel bloodied. Drake 00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:50.910 May threw a touchdown pass to Hunter Henry, while 00:05:50.910 --> 00:05:53.689 the Patriots' defense dominated, sacking Herbert 00:05:53.689 --> 00:05:58.129 six times. Herbert, who was recovering from surgery, 00:05:58.629 --> 00:06:02.449 struggled, finishing with 159 yards, passing 00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:05.350 as the Chargers ended their season without a 00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:08.879 touchdown in the playoffs. Next up for the Patriots 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.519 is a divisional matchup against either Pittsburgh 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:17.560 or Houston. In top news, new research is shedding 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.879 light on surprising ways to reduce chronic inflammation, 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.199 including suggestions as simple as flossing your 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.040 teeth. Inflammation is normally beneficial, triggered 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.079 by the immune system to help the body fight illness 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.860 and repair injuries. However, when inflammation 00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:37.810 becomes chronic, it can lead to serious health 00:06:37.810 --> 00:06:41.850 issues. David L. Katz explains that chronic inflammation 00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:45.550 is a key pathway to major chronic diseases, like 00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:50.089 cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Fortunately, 00:06:50.629 --> 00:06:53.329 simple lifestyle modifications can help reduce 00:06:53.329 --> 00:06:56.990 inflammation, such as managing stress, exercising 00:06:56.990 --> 00:07:01.980 regularly, and improving oral hygiene. Engaging 00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:05.180 with nature and cultivating strong social connections 00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:10.680 can also be beneficial. In business news, living 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.120 with family is not a last resort anymore. It's 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.019 the plan. As the cost of living rises for Americans, 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.360 many are moving back in with their families. 00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:24.319 However, a growing number of solo agers do not 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.379 have this option. Purpose -built intergenerational 00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:31.920 communities are a promising solution. The number 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.420 of people living in multi -generational households 00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:39.259 quadrupled from 1971 to 2021, according to Pew 00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:42.519 Research. Cost savings are driving this trend, 00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.939 allowing families to split expenses and reduce 00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:49.339 social isolation. Experts warn that there is 00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:53.300 no one -size -fits all housing solution, as individuals 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:55.620 have vastly different needs and preferences. 00:07:57.019 --> 00:08:01.149 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1 % over the 00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:07.290 weekend to $92 ,000. Ethereum is up 1 % to just 00:08:07.290 --> 00:08:13.310 over $3 ,000. And XRP is down 2 % to $2 .08. 00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:19.889 Moving on to a more local vibe. In our community 00:08:19.889 --> 00:08:22.910 spotlight on health and wellness, we are working 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:25.870 with a national Pilates studio to bring you some 00:08:25.870 --> 00:08:30.519 free classes, so listen up.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.899 tech. Job seekers are discovering a new source 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:13.820 of income, training artificial intelligence to 00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:17.879 perform their former roles. Mercor, an artificial 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.840 intelligence startup valued at $10 billion, employs 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.320 tens of thousands of white -collar contractors. 00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:27.720 These workers review and critique the output 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.480 of large language models that power chatbots 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.679 and other tools. Experts in various fields are 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.419 sought, including psychologists and filmmakers, 00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:43.200 with earnings up to $250 an hour. Despite concerns 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.379 about job losses, many see their role in ensuring 00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:50.480 AI produces thoughtful outcomes. The nature of 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.100 this work raises questions about the future of 00:09:53.100 --> 00:10:00.990 employment in their fields. The Golden Globes 00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:03.970 has made a concerted effort to improve its reputation 00:10:03.970 --> 00:10:07.870 after a controversy over its membership in 2021 00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:11.149 led to a temporary suspension of the telecast. 00:10:12.309 --> 00:10:14.590 Under new ownership, structural changes have 00:10:14.590 --> 00:10:17.009 been implemented, including no longer paying 00:10:17.009 --> 00:10:20.669 a salary to legacy voters. Nikki Glaser's charming 00:10:20.669 --> 00:10:23.350 hosting managed to balance humor and excitement, 00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:26.289 making the audience laugh with her playful jabs 00:10:26.289 --> 00:10:30.149 at celebrities. Despite the positive moments, 00:10:30.629 --> 00:10:33.690 distracting stunts like statistics from polymarket 00:10:33.690 --> 00:10:37.889 and non -jokes cluttered the ceremony. Chasing 00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:40.889 too many contradictory aims, the gloat's risks 00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:43.409 frustrating its audience while attempting to 00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:47.570 grow. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for 00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:51.620 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:54.940 from the American writer and philosopher, Albert 00:10:54.940 --> 00:11:05.940 Hubbard. And he said, And that's a wrap for this 00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:09.519 morning.
