1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,680 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,200 We're the daily podcast that gets you started on the right foot and always with a positive 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,200 vibe. 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,560 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Wednesday, February 14th. 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,600 Today is Valentine's Day. 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,280 Celebrated in memory of St. Valentine, a Roman priest and physician martyred around 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,320 270 AD. 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,120 This day of love stems from a legend where Valentine, before his execution, penned a 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,600 letter to his jailor's daughter, who he loved, signing it from your Valentine. 10 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,460 So today, if you're being executed and happen to be dating the warden's daughter, you should 11 00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:52,960 write her a letter and sign it from your Valentine. 12 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,360 If she has a good sense of humor, she'll think it's hilarious. 13 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,200 Now let's check out the weather in the Boston area. 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,360 This morning it's partly cloudy skies and feels like 19 degrees with 10 mile per hour 15 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,700 wind. 16 00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:17,200 The

Beanpot final at TD Garden, Northeastern secured a 4-3 overtime 42 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:33,640 victory against Boston University, marking their fifth title in six years. 43 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:41,400 Bennerwulf Fontaine emerged as the hero, scoring the decisive goal in the last minute of overtime. 44 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,280 The Huskies' triumph was fueled by goals from Matt Demilus, Justin Dracowian, and Jack Williams 45 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,000 alongside Fontaine's game winner. 46 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,800 Northeastern's goaltender Cameron Whitehead was out there standing on his head with 30 47 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,360 saves. 48 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Boston University's efforts included goals from Macklin Celebrini, Devin Kaplan, and 49 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Lane Hudson. 50 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:13,040 But their goalie, Matthew Caron, faced challenges, allowing four goals. 51 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,320 In the consolation match, Boston College achieved a decisive 5-0 win over Harvard. 52 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Go Huskies! 53 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,720 Now on to sports. 54 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,040 Danny Machado is intensifying his training following off-season surgery for tennis elbow. 55 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,120 Currently in spring training, Machado's primary concern is building arm strength for 56 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,360 the upcoming season. 57 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Despite a challenging year marked by his first injury list appearance in nine years, at a 58 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,440 lower OPS, Machado remains focused and optimistic. 59 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,120 The pondrays after missing last season's postseason have undergone significant changes, 60 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,680 including trading Juan Soto to the Yankees and losing key players like Josh Hader and 61 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,240 Blake Snell. 62 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,640 Machado, alongside Fernando Tatis Jr. and others, is confident in the team's potential, emphasizing 63 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,400 the need for collective performance improvement. 64 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,720 The pondrays are still seeking to strengthen their roster, with general manager AJ Preller 65 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,300 exploring trade options, especially in the outfield. 66 00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:31,080 Now on to the NBA. 67 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,200 Last night, the Celtics on the road beat the Nets 118-110. 68 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,040 In a stellar performance, Jason Tatum led the Boston Celtics, marking their fifth consecutive 69 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,040 win. 70 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:51,600 Tatum, tying his career-high first half score with 31 points, finished with 41 points and 71 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200 14 rebounds. 72 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:59,840 Despite his personal scoring feed, Tatum emphasized the importance of team effort in pursuing 73 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,800 an NBA championship. 74 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,360 The Celtics, playing without Kristaps Porzingis due to injury, saw contributions from Al Horford 75 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,000 with 16 points and Derek White, also scoring 16. 76 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,160 Drew Holliday added 14 points and 12 assists. 77 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,560 The Celtics now stand at 42-12, continuing their dominance over the Nets, with their 78 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,880 sixth consecutive victory in Brooklyn. 79 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,120 And will wonders never cease? 80 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,680 The Cees are back at it tonight, taking on the Nets, again, on the road in Brooklyn. 81 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,840 In national hockey last night, the Bruins at home lost another one, 3-2 against the 82 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,640 Lightning in overtime. 83 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:49,280 The Bees are having trouble keeping a rhythm lately. 84 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:56,600 And top news, the USDA has announced a nationwide recall of certain charcuterie meats by Fratelli 85 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:02,920 Beretta USA due to potential under-processing in foodborne pathogens. 86 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:10,640 Affected packages are sold under brands like Appleton Farms, Dietz & Watson, and Hublix. 87 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,180 They have been distributed to stores including Aldi, Costco, and Sam's Club. 88 00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:20,280 This follows a previous recall for Salmonella contamination. 89 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Consumers and businesses are advised to dispose of or return the products. 90 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:32,160 Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning may include, but are not limited to, prolonged dehydration, 91 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,800 sleeping in an empty bathtub, and death. 92 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:44,420 In business news, Nvidia corporations surpassed Amazon in market value for the first time 93 00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:52,200 in nearly 22 years, closing with a market cap of $1.78 trillion. 94 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,640 This achievement makes Nvidia, the fourth largest US company, a significant rise from 95 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:03,160 its position outside the top 20 just four years ago. 96 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Despite overall market declines, Nvidia's smaller stock drop compared to Amazon's 97 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,080 helped it gain the upper hand. 98 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,880 And their progress doesn't stop here. 99 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,760 It's now eigned to overtake Alphabet, which is valued at $1.81 trillion. 100 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:26,840 Meanwhile, Amazon finished with a $1.75 trillion market cap last year. 101 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Upcoming Nvidia earnings are highly anticipated, with expectations of substantial revenue growth, 102 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,160 signaling strong demand for its AI hardware. 103 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:45,560 And crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just under $50,000, Ethereum is at about $2,600, 104 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,160 and Solana is $111. 105 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,480 Moving on to a more local vibe. 106 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:59,280 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 107 00:08:59,280 -->

00:09:43,720 Let's talk tech and space exploration. 117 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,600 Last night's SpaceX launch could mark a historic moment in U.S. space travel, being the first 118 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,120 return to the moon since 1972. 119 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,480 Funded privately and crafted by intuitive machines, the mission aims to deliver scientific 120 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,320 instruments to the moon's south pole. 121 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:10,160 This is crucial for SpaceX and Elon Musk's vision of making humanity multi-planetary 122 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,400 with Mars as a key target. 123 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,960 Although SpaceX has excelled in satellite deployment and astronaut transportation, planetary 124 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,640 travel is a new frontier. 125 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,640 The mission's success, hinging on today's launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, 126 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,480 could pave the way for future interplanetary travel. 127 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,800 However, risks remain, as highlighted by recent propulsion issues, in similar missions. 128 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,080 SpaceX has made specific technical adjustments for this launch, acknowledging the challenges, 129 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,920 but remaining hopeful for a successful mission. 130 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,680 And in entertainment news. 131 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:57,880 This summer, Santana and Counting Crows are embarking on the Oneness Tour, a 29-show journey 132 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,040 across 28 North American cities. 133 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:07,840 Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Santana's Supernatural album, the tour kicks off in 134 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,600 Toronto and concludes with performances in San Diego and Phoenix. 135 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:21,280 Pearl Santana, a rock and roll hall of fame inductee and 2013 Kennedy Center honoree, continues 136 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,520 to inspire. 137 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,600 Fans can buy tickets through various pre-sales and VIP packages, promising a unique concert 138 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,800 experience. 139

00:11:43,600 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 142 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,680 And today, our quote comes from the delightful Catherine Hepburn. 143 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:55,920 Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to 144 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,520 give, which is everything. 145 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:06,480 And I wish you all a lot of love on this Valentine's Day. 146 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,840 And that's a wrap for this morning. 147 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 148 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
