00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:04.639
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:05.219 --> 00:00:09.060
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.500
and it's Wednesday, February 4th. You'll be interested

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:19.620
to know, like 22 years ago, today, in 2004, a

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:22.280
group of Harvard students launched a social networking

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.899
site that let college peers create profiles and

00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:30.039
connect across campus. The platform rapidly reshaped

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.920
online social interaction by making networking

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.320
personal, scalable, and central to how people

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.799
shared news and built communities. Today, we

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:44.600
call that social network Facebook. So now you

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.100
know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.439
Wednesday in Encinitas. This morning it's looking

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.679
clean with three plus feet surf rolling in. Conditions

00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.200
hold steady at two to three plus feet through

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.019
the morning, but expect them to drop to two plus

00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:08.519
feet by the afternoon. Winds are offshore at

00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.379
three miles per hour now, shifting to sideshore

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:13.959
later as they pick up to six miles per hour.

00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:18.840
Best time to ride is at 9 a .m. with a four foot

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.040
incoming high tide when the West Well is two

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.079
feet at 12 seconds. and the offshore wind is

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.359
1 mile per hour. The first high tide on Wednesday

00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.920
will be 5 .5 feet at 10 .15 a .m., followed by

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.799
a half -foot low tide at 4 .45. The nearshore

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.700
buoy at Beacons reads 63 degrees for the water

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:44.500
temperature. Thursday brings clean conditions

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.200
with waves ranging from 2 to 3 feet, ideal for

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.609
beginners. Friday sees a steady increase with

00:01:51.609 --> 00:01:54.430
four to six feet, remaining clean early, but

00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:57.849
becoming fair as winds shift. Saturday holds

00:01:57.849 --> 00:02:01.170
similar size at five to eight feet, though choppy

00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.209
conditions develop in the afternoon, making Friday

00:02:04.209 --> 00:02:09.050
the standout day for surf. This morning, it's

00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:12.909
sunny, and it feels like 57 degrees with five

00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:16.159
mile per hour wind. The sunset will take place

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.319
at 524 and it will rise again tomorrow at 642.

00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:22.919
It looks like we're in for a sunny Wednesday

00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.800
with temperatures reaching a high near 76 and

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.419

a west wind of 5 to 10 miles per hour. Friday

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:54.919
and Saturday remain mild with highs near 66,

00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.340
overnight lows in the mid -50s, and mostly clear

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:02.240
to mostly cloudy skies. Sunday turns sunny with

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.639
a high near 68 and a partly cloudy night near

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.800
send you. In local news, if you type crab rangoon

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.020
on social media, odds are you will find videos

00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:55.560
from right here in San Diego. The creation by

00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.919
San Diego's Slurp Restaurant has become a viral

00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.039
sensation, with some videos showcasing their

00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.409
decadent dish racking up millions of views. SLURP

00:04:06.409 --> 00:04:09.590
started in Liberty Station and now boasts multiple

00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:12.810
locations, including Escondido and their newest

00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.949
spot at the Westfield UTC mall in University

00:04:15.949 --> 00:04:20.709
City. CEO Bella Kim developed the popular crab

00:04:20.709 --> 00:04:24.009
rangoon recipe by blending flavors from her childhood

00:04:24.009 --> 00:04:27.870
with a distinct San Diego flair. The restaurant

00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:31.389
also features a spicy basil steak burrito inspired

00:04:31.389 --> 00:04:35.730
by her husband, Gene Kim, who is the CFO. Kim

00:04:35.730 --> 00:04:38.589
expressed feeling overwhelmed and honored by

00:04:38.589 --> 00:04:41.089
the support they have received with plans to

00:04:41.089 --> 00:04:50.670
expand this year. Now on to sports. In a significant

00:04:50.670 --> 00:04:53.529
player exchange, the Los Angeles Clippers are

00:04:53.529 --> 00:04:56.290
trading James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers

00:04:56.290 --> 00:05:00.050
for Darius Garland. In a second round pick, sources

00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:04.160
reported on Tuesday. Harden, an 11 -time All

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.620
-Star, has worked through his exit with the Clippers,

00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.699
who are currently 23 wins and 26 losses. This

00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:14.560
trade offers a win -now opportunity for Harden,

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:17.660
who is performing well at 36 years old, while

00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:21.379
Garland, at 26, can contribute now and in the

00:05:21.379 --> 00:05:24.600
future. The Cavaliers hope Harden's addition

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.139
will boost their chances of contending for a

00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:31.480
title in the Eastern Conference. In local sports,

00:05:32.669 --> 00:05:35.990
Snapdragon Stadium is set to host Olympic soccer

00:05:35.990 --> 00:05:39.449
matches during the 2028 games, with specific

00:05:39.449 --> 00:05:42.629
team match -ups to be revealed later as the qualification

00:05:42.629 --> 00:05:46.649
process progresses. The stadium, home to San

00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:50.189
Diego's two soccer teams, the Wave and San Diego

00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:53.870
FC, will be one of six NLS venues used for tournament

00:05:53.870 --> 00:05:58.370
play. SDSU Director of Athletics John David Wicker

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.459
emphasized that the stadium was built to attract

00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:05.160
both local and international events. With the

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.279
World Cup also happening this summer, San Diego's

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.279
soccer culture is rapidly growing, a momentum

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:16.819
that the Olympics will only enhance. In top news,

00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:20.199
the National Football League Players Association

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.560
is closely monitoring electromagnetic field issues

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.379
at Levi's Stadium, where the Super Bowl will

00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:29.500
take place on Sunday. This comes after players

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.819
expressed concerns about electromagnetic interference.

00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:37.240
Jalen Reeves -Maybin, NFLPA president, stated

00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.459
that players want more data and more feedback.

00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.819
The New England Patriots will face the Seattle

00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:46.980
Seahawks at the stadium, located near an electrical

00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:50.639
substation operated by Silicon Valley Power in

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.959
Santa Clara, California. Concerns about potential

00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.660
harmful effects gained traction during the San

00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:01.660
Francisco 49ers regular season. David White,

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:05.459
interim executive director of the NFLPA, mentioned

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:08.379
that experts have said there is nothing to be

00:07:08.379 --> 00:07:13.480
concerned about. In business news, Disney has

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.759
named Josh D 'Amaro as its new chief executive

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.600

00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:34.500
the ninth leader of Disney in its 102 -year history.

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:38.860
Shareholders expect Di Amaro to lay out and execute

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:41.779
a growth plan, as the company's stock price has

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:45.259
declined by nearly half since its 2021 high.

00:07:45.769 --> 00:07:49.329
Disney is spending $60 billion to grow its theme

00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:53.189
parks and cruise businesses by the year 2033.

00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:56.810

00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:00.870
a bigger role at the company and crypto movement.

00:08:21.370 --> 00:08:24.189
In our community spotlight on health and wellness,

00:08:24.810 --> 00:08:27.209

La Jolla, and more. Just be sure to tell them

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.519
Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:12.200
show. Let's talk science. Space tourism raises

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.480
urgent fertility questions, NASA says. As more

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.259
people travel beyond Earth, scientists warn that

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:22.179
risks to reproductive health from zero gravity

00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:26.039
and radiation remain little understood. According

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.720
to a new study overseen by Fatih Karuia, what

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.240
space flight does to human fertility remains

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.960
dangerously under -examined. As commercial flights

00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.700
become more common, guidelines are needed before

00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:42.059
things get out of hand. Weightlessness weakens

00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:45.279
bones and muscles, and radiation levels are far

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.279
higher than on Earth. The authors stress they

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.799
are not advocating for reproduction in space,

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:53.620
but waiting until something goes wrong would

00:09:53.620 --> 00:10:02.250
be irresponsible. The Night Agent is returning

00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:06.509
for its third season on February 19th. This popular

00:10:06.509 --> 00:10:11.409
Netflix spy drama first premiered in 2023 following

00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:15.029
FBI agent Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:18.549
Basso, as he navigates political leaks and dangerous

00:10:18.549 --> 00:10:22.950
secrets. Basso expressed his excitement on Instagram.

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:26.559
stating, I can honestly say I'm blown away by

00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.240
the level of interest that everyone has shown

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.419
in the show. The season two finale ended with

00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:35.120
Peter and his allies thwarting a major attack

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.539

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.360
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.179
of the day. And today... Our quote comes from

00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:55.539
the American sociologist and philosopher Eric

00:10:55.539 --> 00:11:09.440
Fromm, and he said, And that's a wrap for this

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.000
