In today's episode, we remember Disco Demolition Night, a Major League Baseball promotion that ended in a riot at Comiskey Park in Chicago 45 years ago. In the Encinitas and North County Surf Report, we'll see knee to thigh-high southwest swell through Sunday, with occasional stomach-high sets in the afternoon. We'll also take a look at Encinitas, where conditions are looking clean to choppy throughout the day, at 2 feet. Next, we check the weather in Encinitas, expecting patchy fog in the morning followed by mostly cloudy skies with a high near 71 degrees. Local news focuses on the California Independent System Operator advising Californians to prepare for power conservation, amid forecasts of extreme heat this week. Sports highlights former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick joining the long-running series, “Inside the NFL”. Top News dives into Vlad Artamonov, a former Wall Street professional with Ivy League credentials, allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme targeting Harvard Business School alumni. Business news covers Tesla's recent announcement of a delay in the unveiling of its highly anticipated robo-taxi vehicle. Science discusses a new study revealing that hippos can get airborne, even if briefly. Finally, in Entertainment, we learn about the Beastie Boys filing a lawsuit against Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's, for allegedly using their 1994 hit "Sabotage" in advertisements without permission. We conclude the episode with a quote from Bill Belichick, emphasizing the importance of dependability, consistency, and being coachable.
