credential plan. some aspiring teachers will only pay $42 a month to get their accreditation , while at the same time they'll still teaching. the goal is to increase diversity while helping improve teacher shortages. welcome to the nine, and it's a nice day here with a nice visual we have of those teachers. >> all right. we want to get to the megaphone that we're talking about because i found it completely fascinating today. earlier on mornings on two, starting about 735 or so, we asked about those pandemic era bikes that sit in your garage that many of us bought this morning. we're asking you, are you biking? more or less post pandemic? and here are the results. yes, i'm biking more 33. no, i'm biking less 56. count me among them. and no, but i want to try 11, go ahead, scan the qr code right there on the top right hand corner of your screen. go to ktvh.com/vote. and i will say this poll did one thing for me, and that is remind me that i have a bike. >> is your bike secure somewhere? is it. >> yeah, it's in a garage in my

building. do we have a we have a bike area. okay. so but everyone else's bike is piled up on top of mine too. have you? i noticed that, yeah. >> you're not using their bikes either. >> still there? >> yeah, well, it's still there. yeah, yeah, but it's mine and everyone else is. i mean, i need to get back out on it for sure. yeah, i'll need some. i'll need to put air in the tire. >> i know the michaelian family's big bikers. >> yeah, yeah. >> you live on those bikes? >> yeah. you bike too, or i have a beach cruiser. >> the rest of bmx and mountain bike. so we'll talk about that later on in the newscast here. let's get things started in berkeley, where there was a lot of action not far from the cal campus overnight, police arrested 12 protesters starting in the evening hours. the group was accused of belonging to a group that took over a vacant building owned by the university. ali rasmussen's studio now is police from 20 different law enforcement agencies. ali responded and put an end to that demonstration. >> yeah, garcia, a large police response. uc berkeley brought in police from as far away as fairfield and foster city, san francisco, burlingame to help them clear the protesters who had gathered and taken over a building near anna head hall

that's on channing way near people's park. free palestine. this was the scene last night as police in riot gear formed a line around the building. university workers then went in to start clearing away some of the trash and belongings of the protesters. inside there was some graffiti scrawled on some of the walls. there were no fights or reports of injuries, but 12 people were arrested. the protesters started occupying the uc berkeley owned building earlier in the week, and as the building was cleared out, the group chanted support for palestine in the war in gaza, palestine free, free, free palestine, free now. the university confirms this group is different from the protesters who set up an encampment near sproul hall a few weeks ago. that encampment was dismantled after a deal was reached with administrators. the demonstrators outside this building said they would only provide information about what they were protesting and what their specific demands were on their instagram page. they would

not speak with the media. we checked their instagram page and it's very unclear what specifically they were calling for before they voluntarily left that building you see there. but uc berkeley says it considers this occupation a crime, not free speech, and says the 12 people who were arrested were arrested on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy and vandalism. the university says it plans to disclose the affiliations of those 12 people arrested sometime today. we're waiting for an update on that story and that information, andre. we'll send it back to you. >> all right, ali, thank you. new this morning, the president of sonoma state, mike lee, is stepping down two days after he was put on administrative leave for, quote, insubordination. california state university chancellor mildred garcia says lee informed her of his decision to retire. lee had sent an email to students and faculty laying out details of an agreement he said he reached with pro-palestine protesters, but he didn't have the appropriate approvals from the california state university system to do so. >> new. this morning, for the first time, trucks carrying

humanitarian aid for palestinians in the gaza strip have rolled across a pier built by the united states. today's shipment is the first in an operation that american military officials say could handle up to 150 truckloads a day. meanwhile, in washington, house republican voted to pass a bill to reverse president biden's freeze on sending a shipment of weapons to israel as it plans to invade the southern gaza city of rafah. democrats are calling the bill a political stunt by republicans, as president biden defies the will of congress with his use of executive privilege. >> he is brazenly doing so by withholding congressionally mandated aid. >> everything it calls for. the administration is already doing. and it is just yet another example of the republicans using israel and anti-semitism for their own political purposes. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer says the senate will not take up the legislation. the white house has already said that the president will veto the bill if it makes it to his desk. >> israel defended its military operations in gaza at a hearing with the united nations top court, with an israeli official

saying they are taking steps to avoid harming civilians as they carry out a military offensive in the southern city of rafah. >> that is why there has not been a large scale assault on rafah, but rather specific, limited and localized operations prefaced with evacuation efforts and support for humanitarian activities. >> the international court of justice is holding a third round of hearings on emergency measures requested by south africa, which wants the court to order a cease fire in gaza and our coverage of the war in gaza. as well as the protests here in the bay area, continues online on our website at ktvu.com. >> happening today, a judge in new mexico will consider alec baldwin's request to dismiss his involuntary manslaughter charge tied to a deadly shooting on a movie set. the actor's lawyers are accusing prosecutors of unethical behavior to secure the grand jury indictment that led to the trial. the weapons expert on that movie set, who handed

the loaded gun to baldwin, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter that happened back in march. a sentencing hearing will be held today for david depape, the man convicted of attacking the husband of congresswoman nancy pelosi with a hammer. federal prosecutors want depape to be sentenced to 40 years in prison for attacking paul pelosi in october of 2022, prosecutors say depape should get the maximum punishment and that he shows no remorse and even seems to be proud of what he did. and they cite a phone call to pap made from jail to ktvu amber lee. >> an update now on a developing story as we're getting the first public comments from scottie scheffler, the world's number one golfer in masters champion, after he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting police. scheffler was driving to the pga championship in louisville, kentucky, this morning after a bus hit and killed a pedestrian nearby. scheffler says it was a chaotic scene and that he didn't understand what police were telling him, so he mistakenly drove past a police checkpoint. authorities arrested him on charges including second degree assault. now the police report

says a detective was hospitalized after being dragged by scheffler's car. scheffler was released from custody. you see his mugshot here? he is now playing in the second round of the tournament. >> new this morning highway one in big sur has now reopened a stretch of the highway near rocky creek bridge, south of the carmel highlands, has major storm damage or had it at the beginning of april. the part of highway one that's reopened this morning has round the clock traffic control. caltrans says this temporary traffic signal will give unrestricted public access, with one way alternating traffic north and southbound. >> that's so key because think of all the tourists, all the bay area residents will be heading to big sur for the memorial day weekend for sure. steve paulson, whenever we drive on one, i tell my children, look out the window. it's a postcard. >> we're so fortunate they've been scrambling to get that open. i'm glad they did. yes, it happens a lot, though. during the winter months. temperature trend here, i buy into this because everything is pointing towards this direction. what direction would that be? that is favoring cooler than normal temperatures? not sure the entire west, but it definitely

figures into play into our weather here. there will only be a couple of days i think, where we get some warmth. there's nothing all the way out really till mid june that shows above average temperatures persisting for very long. the low cloud deck made it out to sacramento today. that's a heck of a push considering the inland temps have been warm to hot for some, especially northern sacramento valley. but to make it to lower lake county all the way up to ukiah now there are some breaks though. you get a little south breeze. so starting around los gatos peninsula, you can see the breaks that allows that sun to pop south san francisco into san francisco a little bit over san pablo bay. but boy, if you have that west wind, you're out of luck. it's a low cloud deck and it's large and in charge. drizzle, tilden park, bonny doon, davenport and santa rosa all between 0.02 and almost a 10th of an inch. a couple of 60s in there, but a lot of 50s, although upper 50s with the sun. sfo san carlos, menlo park, all at 59. yeah walnut creek's 56, petaluma 52 is going to be another cool day. roaner park, petaluma, probably santa rosa. we are running cooler than 24

hours ago for most 1 to 5, with petaluma leading the way at minus five. you can see some of those breaks in the clouds, but even all the way out, fremont to livermore, oakland out to concord, i mean, it's finally looking like it's burning off in concord, but that's a heck of a surge on the temps. concord was only 71 yesterday, which is that's a that's a rarity when you get to mid-may to only get to 71. it happens, but usually they're in the upper 70s. this time of year. high pressure is just not going to hang around here. low pressure is going to continue to kick in over the next 48 to 72 hours. so fog, sun, some areas may take a long time to burn off if at all. system is going to swing into northern nevada, that might trigger some activity up in the mountains. it will continue the theme of more fog and drizzle for us starting tonight again into saturday should be enough to scour out. i think a lot of that fog by sunday, but watch up in the mountains. some indications some thunderstorm activity could develop here. probably monday into tuesday. if you have any travel plans there for us, stratus quo is what we say. may gray that's going to

continue here. temperatures staying below average for many a few near but majority are below coast in bay 60s 70s. really kind of cool into sunday maybe monday then i think a little warmer on tuesday. >> you guys all right steve, thanks so much. some surprising benefits for double major college grads coming up on mornings on two. the nine. the reason experts say they have a significant boost in their chances of landing and keeping a job. and ever since weight loss drugs like wegovy came on the market, there have been questions about their long term effects. well now the company behind one of those drugs says it has answers. we'll put the results to a sutter he th obesity

govi, and it finds that in addition to helping people lose weight, the medication seems to protect the heart in ways beyond weight loss alone, and the results are shedding light on how quickly it helps people lose weight, how long they sustain that weight loss, and how safe the medicine is. over four years of use. so joining me now for more insight is doctor nisha patel, who is an obesity and metabolic specialist with sutter health. thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate your time. >> absolutely. thanks so much for having me on today. >> all right. so nisha, this this study, you know, the biggest concern is, hey, what are these drugs going to do? well, govi did this study, and they found that you can take

this drug for four years without it being a problem. tell us what you read about this. >> yes. so this is the first trial, the select trial that showed a reduction in subsequent cardiovascular risk in individuals with either overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease. this is our longest running trial looking at wegovy for this health outcome of reduction in cardiovascular disease risk. but the study that was actually published this past week is a secondary analysis. and what they found is that in individuals that were in this trial, they actually sustained their weight loss in the long term over a course of four years while taking a medication like lugovi, which is phenomenal. i always tell patients and consumers that these medications are really meant to be taken in the long term, because obesity is a chronic disease and we do not want to treat it like, you know, outside of other chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure, that if you stop the medications, your condition could get worse. and it's no

different for the chronic disease of obesity. so that's something that's really important. >> doctor patel i saw that as well. so that means you have to, you know, when you take medications to lower your blood pressure, sometimes you end up taking those and in perpetuity. is that what we're looking at here? is this just a medication you have to take or, you know, can you take it. you lose the weight. and if you adopt a healthier lifestyle, you could potentially get off of it. >> yeah, that's a great question. so we do know that the majority of individuals that stop medications for the treatment of obesity are at risk of regaining the weight that they lost. now, that doesn't mean that every single person is at risk of that. there are some biological and genetic differences that may explain why some people may be able to keep the weight off in the long term with just lifestyle changes alone, but that that is actually a very small subset of individuals, especially in my clinical practice. we do know that when individuals abruptly stop the medication, they'll regain the weight and they're at risk of developing further complications. for example, if their diabetes got better with the weight loss, their diabetes

could also get worse. and so we don't ever want this to happen without the appropriate medical supervision. if this is going to occur. >> doctor patel, this survey, this this research also found that it helped improve heart condition as well. of course, weight does affect heart. and so this does show some promise. tell us a bit about what that found. >> yes absolutely. so i really want to reinforce that these medications are not just weight loss medications. they're truly what we call cardiometabolic disease medications. because this is, again, the first time that we've seen a reduction in heart disease risk in patients with overweight obesity that don't have diabetes. we do have those trials from patients with diabetes. also having improvements in heart disease risk on medications like semaglutide. and so it's really important to remember that these are medications that are beyond weight loss. they have other health effects like reducing heart disease risk. and these receptors these glp one

receptors that this medication is targeting is they're actually present on all different organs in our body. and so we're seeing other health effects. for example semaglutide which is the active ingredient in wegovy, was actually shown to reduce the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes. so again lots of multifaceted effects and benefits. >> this is incredible here. inflammation as well i mean this is really attacking some of the issues that can cause long term can shorten your life. i mean just to put it frankly here, and this is really treating those really intricate parts that contribute to worse health. >> yes. no, absolutely. you know, there are these this class of medications is being studied in a wide variety of disease processes, including alzheimer's disease, parkinson's disease, infertility, liver disease. you know, kidney disease. i think we're going to be seeing a big explosion of improvement in health outcomes in the coming years. i'm really excited for

the next 3 to 5 years in this space. >> i wanted to clear, though, that, novo nordisk, which i guess owns wegovy, is behind the study is the fact that this company behind the study, does that cause you any pause at all at this point? >> you know, the study was conducted in a randomized clinical trial, which is a the gold standard for scientific studies. and so even though it was sponsored by novo nordisk, we always have to take that into account. the study was conducted in good faith with the appropriate randomization between individuals that were taking the medication and then a placebo control. so there was a proper comparison group there. and this again is a long term study. you know they have been doing the study for four years. and so we have abundance of data to support these findings. and so it's important, you know, whenever anyone is critically analyzing a study it's important to understand that it's been done in the appropriate manner. but you know, it has been in this case. and so we can have

faith in the study results. >> and i want to ask you one final question. we only have a short time left here. but the fact that will insurance pay for wegovy for certain patients right now? does this study affect whether insurance pays for it or not? >> yeah. so here at sutter health you know, we've been working really hard to increase access, especially in the department that i work with, with medically complex patients, which is our transplant department. you know, we do everything we can to really advocate for our patients with insurance coverage. but the reality is that, you know, insurances have their own criteria as far as whether they will or will not cover the medications. and and i hope that with studies like this showing other benefits such as heart disease and stroke risk, we can expand coverage to include these disease processes. in fact, medicare recently started covering wegovy because of the select trial results. historically, they haven't actually covered medications like wegovy in the past, so i'm hopeful for the future. >> this could be helped and a life saver for a lot of people.

and i could see you were you are in full support of this doctor nisha patel with sutter health. thank you so much for joining us this morning and providing your insight into this. so many people are watching, what happens with wegovy and should i take it they're questioning that right now? they may be having a little clarity after our conversation. we appreciate your time. >> absolutely. thank you. >> coming up on mornings on two. the nine san francisco hitting a political roadblock to bring giant pandas to the zoo. the concerns from the city's board of supervisors and why the funding efforts are on hold. then the bay to breakers weekend is officially here. we're talking live with the organizer of the iconic race, which ss

to break into their homes. there have been three brazen home burglaries in broad daylight in the city's redwood heights neighborhood in just the past six weeks, one crime earlier this week was captured on surveillance video. it shows two masked burglars running out of a home, one man is holding a pillowcase the victim says was filled with jewelry that had just been stolen from her bedroom. >> just bust in my home and take my things like it's no problem. it's. it's terrifying. it's frustrating. >> the people living on reinhard drive say all three break-ins have been between the hours of noon and 4 p.m. and they say these thieves don't seem to care. everyone can see them breaking into homes. >> they were, you know, certainly not put off by

somebody seeing them commit a crime. it seems like this was kind of a normal practice for them. >> neighbors have taken a photo of what they say is the thieves car. it's a black bmw sedan. the people living on the street suspect their home's close proximity to highways 13 and 580 make them a target for thieves looking for a quick getaway across the bay. >> the newest homeless count in san francisco shows mixed results. the city's point in time count shows the total homelessness in san francisco increased by 7% from 2022 to 2024. there are more than 8300 people experiencing homelessness in san francisco, according to city researchers. at the same time, city leaders pointed the fact the number of people living on the street, in tents or in vehicles is on the decline. the number of people without shelter decreased by 1% since 2022 16. if you look back to the 2019 numbers, nearly half of the city's homeless population is currently sheltered, city data point out. youth homelessness has decreased by 9, but the number of families who are homeless has gone up sharply by

94% since 2022. now 437 families. city also found that it's chronically homeless population increased by 9. more than 2900 people have been identified as chronically homeless. >> the city of san francisco also says its new homeless outreach program has connected thousands of people with help during its first year. the city says the homeless engagement assistance response team, called heart for short, has responded to almost 14,000 calls, including 80% of calls to three one 1 or 9 one one involving unhoused people and 70% of calls related to sidewalk and street encampments. the city is currently sending other calls involving homeless people, including some for trespassing and suspicious persons calls to the heart team coming up here on mornings on two. >> the nine, one of the prettiest parts of the california coast, has been off limits for weeks, but that is not the case anymore. so coming up on the night, the big change that just happened this morning after those march storms did a number on the big sur coastline. and why the timing of the

evacuated. there was a suspicious item found on the tarmac of terminal five. we're told that the item was not on the plane, but baggage screening that had been stopped at terminal five or out of terminal five. while police investigate what this was, all the passengers scheduled to fly out of the terminal. they were moved to a neighboring terminal. we understand the story is just wrapping up right now. we're trying to get some more information about exactly what that item was and if it was indeed removed, and if things are back to normal at the terminal right now. stay with us throughout mornings on two and a ktvu.com for the latest on this story. >> new this morning, people who live in big sur are relieved that repairs on highway one have been completed eight days ahead of schedule. the road just reopened this morning after being closed for more than six weeks following massive damaging storms in march. ktvu tori gaines details the impact of the change. >> one of the big storms that came through this march had a huge impact on the big sur community when it took out a chunk of highway one that is heavily used every single day.

one direction convoys were scheduled as a temporary solution. initially, they were only intended for essential workers and local residents, with authorities aiming to keep the stress on the roadway to a minimum as repairs were underway some days in april, they canceled the convoys altogether due to wet weather. caltrans says these challenges are part of navigating roads on the coast . >> conversation between the highway, the oceans and the mountain, and trying to meet the challenge that mother nature gives us. >> crews began working around the clock in mid-april to get the roadway repaired. construction in this two lane highway was tricky business, as you can see in the picture here. a crane held repair crews suspended in a basket over the edge of the roadway, something that could only be done in specific weather conditions. governor gavin newsom visited the site earlier this month when he signed an emergency proclamation, which would help secure $100 million in federal funding for repairs across the state due to recent storms. now we also spoke with some folks traveling to big sur from la.

>> i've been driving down, on the highway one now that's like, yeah, amazing. >> so you got to actually come down now that it's open. >> exactly. yeah. we took the convoy. we spoke with local residents who also wanted to emphasize that though the closure near rocky creek bridge is open, there is still another slide south of big sur that is impacting traffic. >> travelers are unable to travel from big sur all the way to la as a result. now though, the repairs here near rocky creek bridge on highway one were extensive. there are only a temporary fix. the new process is currently in its design phase, and we're expecting to see the final results and a permanent solution come spring of 2025. in monterey county. tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news as college graduation ceremonies are in full swing, a new study finds it often pays off for college graduates to have a double major. >> researchers at ohio state university found graduates with two majors essentially double their chances of getting and keeping a job, especially during

tough economic times, the study noted. those with double majors have a greater diversity of skills. many companies find valuable, and i think that makes absolute sense. >> sure. >> i mean, it used to be 100 years ago to be a journalist. you had to you had to have a degree in journalism. now we actually look for and really value people say, you know, i've got a poli sci degree, but i want to be a journalist or, you know, a sociology degree, but i want to be a journalist. it can only help you to have more to have an expertise in an area is really, really the best thing. >> you know, i wish i was smart enough to be like a doctor or a lawyer or something like that. never too late, never too late. all right, all right, let's move on to this. now, this the state capitol here, the senate and assembly appropriations committee shifted through more than 1000 bills and blocked many of them because of california's budget crunch in the state assembly, lawmakers passed bills that attempted to crack down on retail theft and a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to clean air and water and environment. but committees blocked several high profile proposals, including one that was a step toward the legalization of psychedelics and another that

was an attempt to establish a single payer health care system in california. >> i think it's no secret where the budget is today. you know, we have an obligation to balance the budget here in california. we can't go into debt. so we have to be very judicious with the budget. i mean, we definitely there were bills that i have been big supporters of in years past, that it's just a challenging budget time. and so we needed to be responsible, responsible with taxpayers money , so that's why we had to make some tough calls today. >> just last week, governor newsom unveiled his proposed spending plan to address the budget deficit, estimated at $56 billion dollars over the next two years. >> one bill that did pass an important hurdle will require the state to issue a formal apology for slavery. the bill requires the state to apologize for its role in instituting slave laws and discriminatory practices. the bill is part of a package of measures introduced back in february, meant to bring reparations to descendants of people who were enslaved. it now

heads to the state senate back now to an issue that is top of mind for so many parents, especially this time of year. >> 6 in 10 parents say they're suffering from burnout stemming from their family responsibilities. ohio state university researchers say many of them feel isolated and lonely, feel like they have little to no support. we welcome back to the nine caitlin soleil of bay area modern therapy. i mentioned this time of year. you shook your head. it's the end of the year. you need to get a gift for the teachers. there's the eighth grade party i'm chaperoning tonight. may in particular can feel burdensome. >> yeah, mayhem is what we're calling it. yeah right. mayhem. >> so a lot of parents have felt frustration, have felt loneliness at times. how do we know this really goes into sort of a deeper level here? >> when it goes into a deeper level, you start to see these feelings of isolation, hopelessness, extreme overwhelm, and that can look like feeling incapable of kind of getting the things done that you need to or want to get done. it can look like problems in your relationships. it can look like a lot of different things. but

burnout is definitely different than just everyday stress, because sometimes i will have a stressful moment, but eventually i bounce back. >> later that evening in burnout, i imagine. is it a prolonged period of time? >> yes, burnout happens over a prolonged period of time, and i think it's usually for us parents, it it can happen when we've dealt with a lot of stress day in and day out, and we don't get that reprieve or that relief, and then it eventually turns into burnout, right? >> you mentioned something that's so key. you said your relationships most parents prioritize their relationship with their children. and sometimes ignore their spouse or partner, let alone their friends at the office and their, you know, girlfriends out in real life. how how can that only feed the cycle of burnout? >> it's so hard, right? because we know research shows that relationship is the way it's such an important part of our mental health and well-being. yet when we are in it with our kids and life is so full and busy, it's really hard to make time for your partner, for your friends, right? for the things that we know will help us. so we get into this cycle. and so i

think it's really important to think about how can we break the cycle realistically. and that could maybe be like planning one thing a month to do with friends, right? and making sure that's on the schedule. i often say like, don't, you know, cancel your on yourself, right. we cancel on ourselves so often, i know, especially as moms, i do this all the time and we need to get better at not canceling on ourselves, right? >> sometimes i sort of force myself to take what i call a neighborhood trudge most afternoons, and there are days when i look if i don't put the bread in the oven at this point, if i don't get start, you know, dinner started by x that the whole evening will fall apart. but then i tell myself that 45 minutes i'm on my afternoon walk is the most valuable part of the day, right? >> it gives you energy for the rest of the evening, right? >> right, right. so it can feel counterintuitive, though, to say, no, i can't drive you to baseball or no, i'm not going to put help you put together your science project. how do we get over that guilt that happens when parents say no to their children? >> i think we get over it by understanding that when we say no to the things that are going to, maybe push us into that

burnout zone, we're actually better humans and better parents, right? so we're parenting for the long game. and if we're constantly doing all the things and showing up at everything and we don't, you know, kind of get that help from our partners or we're not having conversations about equity in the home, then we're really putting ourselves at risk to, be not the kind of parent we want to be. so i think remembering the truth that when we say yes to ourselves and maybe no to some of those obligations, we're actually parenting better. >> i actually made a point of staying off social media. i did not look at instagram on mother's day because even though i said i don't want flowers, i don't need candy and i don't want jewelry, i knew that seeing my friends with flowers, candy and jewelry but somehow make me feel bad. what's the social media component of all this? >> it's such a big component of it, and i know this is a big topic of conversation kind of across the board teenage mental health, kids, mental health, parents, mental health, it really affects us. so i think if we can pull back from our engagement, i'm not unrealistic in saying like, no, don't look at social media. i mean, i think if you can, great. but i think just recognizing when we're engaging and why we're engaging, and if we start to notice we're

feeling worse because of our engagement, pull back. right. and think about, you know what? i want this for my own children. do i want them to be scrolling on social media when they're feeling, you know, like they're struggling, right? we don't need that for ourselves either. so just being aware of that engagement, i realize so many parents, especially when it comes to that firstborn, you're a first timer. >> and i've said to my now 15 year old, this is my first time parenting a 15 year old. go easy on me. i'm going to make some mistakes. and kind of as soon as i release that, i felt i'm human too, and they need to hear that. >> that's so good for them to hear. >> yeah, well, i'm making mistakes with the 14 year old as well. so yeah. okay. so good to have you. i have to tell you, we look forward to having you here. even just in our newsroom. i have people who come up and say, i learned so much from her, caitlyn, for having me. it's a pleasure. it's an honor. and i know we'll talk again soon. all right. let's switch over to a topic that we have been describing as a mullet. the race that happens in san francisco, that is business in the front

and a party in the back. the bay to breakers. one of those only in san francisco. things is back this weekend. what to expect if you're running it, or if you just want to avoid the whole thing altogether, then another peek at that poll we have going online following reports that bike sales have slowed dramatically since the pandemic. we're asking you if you're biking more or less these days. almost half of you say, yeah, you're biking more about the same number. say i'm biking less. 10% say, you know, i want to try it, but i'm not on two wheels. just yet. keep scanning that code

voted to postpone a request made by the mayor to raise $25 million to host the pandas. once they are brought in from china. critics say the timing and nature of the proposal is a distraction from some of the city's more important priorities. >> this is about prioritizing our future. this is about prioritizing our children over pandas. and if we can rally to fund a home for pandas, we certainly can rally to raise money for essential programs that impact every single corner of this city. yes >> city leaders suggesting the mayor should be raising funds

for the department of children, youth and their families instead. the mayor's office said they would support waivers for both endeavors. >> san francisco's annual bay to breakers weekend is officially here, and thousands are gearing up to take part in the race. the 12 k is a scenic tour through the nine city neighborhoods, finishing at the great highway and ocean beach for one giant party. with us now is kyle myers, the organizer and managing partner of bay to breakers. kyle, welcome. thank you. you know, i ran in this race years ago. it's been around for a long, long time. and what i noticed, obviously, other than the haze street hill, which is the undoing of a lot of people, is just what kind of people may be running next to me. i usually just wear running stuff, right? but somebody else may be wearing a costume, right? >> right. yeah. it's a it's a race for everyone. and that's what makes it so special, we've got elites, we've got centipedes , relay teams, you name it, it's

. yeah, it's a 12 k, like you said, business in the front. party in the back. >> yeah. you know, most people understand the difference between having fun and, you know, getting too loose, a few years back, we did stories about, you know, some people getting perhaps drinking too much and doing things, but lately, that hasn't been an issue. what what did you guys do to change that? it seems like everyone's been relatively well behaved recently. >> yeah, i think, you know, the demographic has changed a little bit. we've also instituted some, additional security measures. we do have alcohol checkpoints. we do have, sobering stations along the route, but, you know, we've really put an emphasis on public safety and doing everything as best we can to make sure it's enjoyable for everyone. >> so the way it works is all the seeded runners, they line up first, and then everyone who shows up with a bib that purchased one lines up after. how do you get the seeded

runners? how do you how do you, qualify to be a seeded runner, you know, it's for what it's worth, beta breakers is, you know, it's 113 years old, so it's a it's a tradition, and a lot of elites in the area, you know, both from running clubs and, and general elite athletes, like to be part of this, just just for the tradition itself. >> yeah. so they contact you and they kind of show you who they are, and then you put you give them a special pass to get up to the front. >> correct? yes. and you'll see that with our centipede teams too, that's actually a very competitive 13 runners connected together, all needing to finish at the same time. so, highly competitive centipede division. >> well, it sounds like it. kyle, if you're not a big runner, but you still want to participate, is running a little bit and then walking a little bit and then running a little bit allowed here? >> absolutely. yeah. even honestly, walking the whole thing is allowed, we've got family corrals in the back, so.

yeah. take your time. enjoy the sights. it's you know, one of the most beautiful routes that i think exists for races in san francisco. >> do you know how far people come to run from this? i know that one time there was a runner, that one who was from kenya. but, you know, what about ordinary folks? so they come. is this race have like long tentacles? >> yeah. we've got representatives, i would say from from all 50 states, last time i checked, we're, 20 different countries were represented, so, yeah, it's got a, it's got a big reach, and definitely a bucket list item for folks around the world. >> all right, last question. take me behind the scenes here. what are you guys doing last minute? other than perhaps pulling your hair out to make sure everything is cool? i mean, you have a command center somewhere. you know, the barricades going up. what? what is going on behind the scenes? right now on the beta breakers team? >> oh, great question. behind the scenes. it's overnight barricade deliveries and

dumpster drops, command center is being built down at ocean beach, last minute check ins with all of the city agencies, and, yeah, it's a lot of work, but, i'd like to think we're pretty well oiled machine. >> all right. kyle myers, the organizer and managing partner of the city's legendary beta breakers. thank you for joining us. thank you. all right. still to come, you might recognize her from football season here on the nine. now she's made her big nfl debut on the 40 niners social media page. next. how she's describing the moment the niners reached out to her to be part of their promotions team

the city's rec and park commission passed an initiative yesterday that would require people pay a $5 reservation fee to play at 28 of its 66 locations. the commission says this is aimed at better managing

the courts and ensuring equitable access to pickleball facilities across the city. the plan will now go before the city's board of supervisors for approval. >> the bay area just celebrated its biggest day for bicycling yesterday with bike to wherever day. bike shop owners say sales surged over the past five passed $5 billion in 2020, but the industry has hit a slump since then. they say one challenge has been a lack of mechanics who assemble the bikes. another setback is that some people have lost interest in biking. >> our industry, we're urging people to get back out on your bicycles to find the passion that two wheels brings. to use bicycles as a source of transportation in know. >> the reason for a slump in sales is that everyone who wanted a bike bought one early in the pandemic last year, bike sales were down nearly a quarter from 2020, and we want to get back to our viewer poll. we asked you earlier on mornings on two, we know these pandemic bikes are in your garage. are you using them this morning we're asking, are you biking more or less post-pandemic? and

here are the results. yes, i am biking more so that's come up 44% matching with no i'm biking less 44% as well. no but i want to try at 12. you can scan the qr code on the top right hand corner of your screen, or head to ktvu.com/vote. >> the 2024 schedule is finally here. i know just the right person to get me fired up for this upcoming season. >> hey, guys, good to see you all again, it's good to be back. we got the schedule released and looks like we're going to be playing a lot of tough teams this year. we just got to be ourselves. even if we're not feeling like ourselves. like when i skip a leg day or. >> this is 49ers, scheduled release video, including steph sanchez. you probably recognize her. we have her on the nine during football season as a regular guest to talk about the niners, and the team picked her up to announce the schedule. i

caught up with her earlier this morning about this major partnership. hey, steph, thanks for joining us. you know, when i was looking for the schedule release, i had no idea i would see you doing your famous nick bosa impersonation. i was so happy for you because you've been on with us. i really love that impersonation. what does it feel like to be part of the 49ers official x posting of, or was it on other platforms too? >> not just x, yeah, they had it on all their social media accounts. so i mean, it was an incredible experience. never in a million years would i would have, i thought i get a notification saying 49ers tagged you in this, right. like it's just crazy, and yeah, for something as you know, in my mind, something as minor as the nick bosa impersonation, i would have never thought that could have gotten me such a great opportunity. but yeah, i guess it blew up last year. john lynch

mentioned me in the lead up to the super bowl. i think really kind of helped it blow up and maybe even gave me this opportunity a bit. so definitely thankful to lynch the 40 niners. their whole social media team and everyone that was part of it. >> you know, my favorite part was i know that person. but the other favorite part was when nick bosa himself says, do i really sound like that? i mean, have you ever spoken to nick? >> i have not, that's that's probably next on the list for me. next goal. but yeah, i mean, he's still in florida. you know, it's the off season, so haven't gotten the chance to meet him yet. >> one of the funny things about the impersonation is just how flat he is. he plays with such intensity on the field, and you've picked up on the fact that whenever he talks to the media, it's almost like he's deadpan, right? when did you first notice that, i mean, i, i

think any time you hear him talk, it's kind of hard to not notice it. right? especially when you compare it to how he plays on the field. like that's kind of the big contrast. and it's like, how is this voice, this lack of energy, like coming out of this person who goes all out on the field on game day, right? so it it's pretty incredible. and, you know, people joke and say that, oh he's he's like that when he talks so he can conserve his energy for the games. right. so yeah. but i think for me when, when i started doing the impersonation was when i heard that he was, doing team speeches like he was a team captain, and he was doing speeches to the team on saturdays. and i was like, god, i wonder what that's like. like, you know, i just i just try to imagine it, given how he talks. and so that's why i did the first, you know, tiktok kind of just

impersonating it. what i thought it might sound like and, you know, people liked it. people seemed to agree that. yeah that's probably exactly how it went. >> social media for the 49ers, you know, they're trying to i can tell they're trying to ramp it up. some of the other teams have really kind of outlandish social media accounts. do you think that you're part of the effort to get that ramped up, to get that more eyes on it, to think outside the box, so to speak? >> yeah, i do think that and i don't know if it was like a concerted effort for them to maybe involve like, content creators. but you see me, you see rita oke, who, you know, the artists who, makes amazing drawings, about the 40 niners, jimmy garoppolo, you know, all that. i think it was really awesome for them to include, you know, two different independent you know creators in their respective crafts. you know, in their release video, i think it

does kind of show a changing of the tide a little bit. and, you know, honestly, i kind of saw what the nfl to tom grassi, he's a he's a comedian and he covers the packers. he was also included in their release video. so i don't know it feels like there's the nfl and teams are leaning into that a little bit more these days. >> the 40 niners will play week one of the nfl season at home for the first time in three years. the niners are hosting the new york jets at levi's stadium on september 9th. in the season opener. they'll face the jets and former cal quarterback aaron rodgers in a prime time matchup on monday night football and, yeah. so, you know, it's nice to have staff who is always nice enough to say, yeah, i'll come on and talk niners. by the way, she thinks the niners did okay in the draft. oh she did okay. so i asked her that and she says you know we're going to be fine. she likes the niners have done. but you know she'll

be on with us during 40 niners season. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah she's on she's on all the time. comes over here to the studios and everything. so looking forward to that. we're just, just a few months away now. yes, sir. just a few months away for football season. and then we'll be back to back to normal. >> your sundays will be spoken for. thanks so much for joining us this friday morning. a quick reminder that you can stream ktvu newscast on your smart tv and watch our live newscast. get stories on the man, get really in-depth weather reports. there's so much waiting for you. so if you have amazon fire tv, roku, apple tv and android, you can just search for the fox local app when you're there. we'd love it if you choose ktvu and you can see we have overcast skies once again. >> we'll have weather update online for that. thanks for joining us. be sure to join us for our next newscast coming your way at noon. you can also check the latest news anytime by ing to ktv news.com. take care everyone and have
