1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, April 15th.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,020
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into

4
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:22,400
some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:32,320
But first, you'll be interested to know 77 years ago, today in 1947, Jackie Robinson,

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,640
who broke baseball's racial barrier, played in his first major league game for the Brooklyn

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,240
Dodgers at Ebbets Field.

8
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,960
So now you know.

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,080
And now you know what time it is.

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,840
It's time for the weather report.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,320
In the Boston area.

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,460
This morning it's sunny and feels like 48 degrees, with 6 mile per hour wind.

13
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:03,040
The sunset will take place at 726 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,660
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny marathon Monday, with a high near 66 and wind

15
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,720
of 7 to 10 mile per hour.

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Tonight.

17
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,680
Mostly clear with a low around 45.

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,480
For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Monday will be at 1130 a.m., with

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,120
a high tide just after 6 p.m.

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:33,880
The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 43 degrees for the water temperature.

21
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,800
Looking ahead in the weather.

22
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:42,640
Tuesday will be sunny and pleasant, with a high near 64 degrees and a westerly breeze.

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,480
Wednesday remains mostly sunny, but cooler, with a high near 60.

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Clouds increase Wednesday night and a chance of showers arrives Thursday afternoon and

25
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,840
evening with highs in the low 50s.

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Friday will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 58.

27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,180
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

28
00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:09,800
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

29
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

30
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040
for culinary delights.

31
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,620
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

32
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:29,400
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

33
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,840
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

35
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Any morning sends you.

36
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,160
In local news, Patriot's Day, celebrated on the third Monday of April, honors the start

37
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,280
of the American Revolution with the battles of Lexington and Concord.

38
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,340
More than just the backdrop for the Boston Marathon, this day features historical reenactments

39
00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:59,200
and parades across New England.

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,560
Initially observed on April 19, the date was shifted in 1969 to create a long weekend.

41
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,920
While prominently recognized in Massachusetts, the holiday also extends to other states like

42
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,520
Connecticut and Maine.

43
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,840
While not a federal holiday, Patriot's Day remains a poignant marker of American history

44
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,400
and regional pride.

45
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,640
Now onto sports.

46
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,240
Scotty Scheffler secured his second master's victory in three years, outpacing Ludwig Eiburg

47
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,560
by four strokes at Augusta National.

48
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,800
The contest initially tight among leaders shifted distinctly in Scheffler's favor with

49
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,140
a tap-and-birdie on the ninth hole.

50
00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:52,080
His performance through Amon Corner widened the gap as competitors faltered.

51
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,020
Scheffler's precise play extended his lead, undeterred by challenges from Eiburg.

52
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:04,880
With his consistent play, Scheffler not only claimed another green jacket, but also reinforced

53
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,300
his stature as a dominant force at one of golf's most prestigious tournaments, promising

54
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:15,240
a bright future in the major championships.

55
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:23,880
In local sports, the Red Sox at home beat the Angels 5-4, and the Celtics at home beat

56
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,240
the Wizards 132-122.

57
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,080
This afternoon it's a big day for Boston sports, with the 128th running of the Boston

58
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,720
Marathon, along with the day game at Fenway, with the Sox taking on the Guardians.

59
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,040
And tonight, the Bruins are on the road and to take on the Capitals.

60
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,200
In top news…

61
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,920
Well folks, looks like the TikTok sleuths came through rather quickly.

62
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,900
Charles Withers, the Massachusetts chef who abruptly left his family, has been discovered

63
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:05,400
in Texas, working as a personal chef for Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan.

64
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:12,280
Withers apparently fled after accruing substantial debts, including over $55,000 on a business

65
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:16,680
credit card and thousands more in tax liens.

66
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,560
His lavish expenditures on clothing and indulgent meals at upscale restaurants contributed to

67
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,340
his financial downfall.

68
00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:31,440
The saga unfolded virally after his wife, unable to contact him for months, sought help

69
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,280
online, turning Withers into one of the most discussed figures on social media.

70
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,020
Now in Texas, the search appears to have come to a close, with a number of women coming

71
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:45,960
forward who identified him on the dating app Bumble.

72
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,320
Also, hundreds of others came through to directly contact the abandoned wife, showcasing once

73
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,480
again the power of social media.

74
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,160
I'd know, this one may not be over.

75
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
It just sounds too juicy.

76
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,600
Stay tuned.

77
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,040
In business news…

78
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Apple has relinquished its position as the world's top smartphone maker to Samsung,

79
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,680
as reported by IDC.

80
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,360
The first quarter of 2024 saw Apple's iPhone shipments decrease by approximately 10%, resulting

81
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,640
in a drop to a 17.3% market share.

82
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Meanwhile, Samsung captured the lead with a 20.8% share, bolstered by robust sales of

83
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,760
its new Galaxy S24 series.

84
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,280
This shift underscores intensifying competition from Android manufacturers, particularly from

85
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,640
Chinese brands like Huawei and Xiaomi, which continue to expand their market presence.

86
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Apple's recent challenges in China, where it faces restrictions from some companies

87
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,200
and government agencies, also contributed to the decline in its global standing.

88
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,200
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $65,000.

89
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,480
Ethereum is at $3,100.

90
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:14,040
And Solana, it is $147.

91
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Moving on to a more local vibe.

92
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,040
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

93
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,280
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

94
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,960
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area.

95
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

96
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,360
and elevating mental well-being.

97
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

98
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,340
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class.

99
00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:54,680
With locations in Canton, Wellesley, Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure to

100
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,680
tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

101
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,160
And now back to the show.

102
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160
Let's talk science.

103
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Archaeologists have unearthed an 8,200-year-old paleo-archaic campsite, a Hellerman Air Force

104
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,520
base in New Mexico, revealing about 70 artifacts that offer insights into early human life

105
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,480
in North America.

106
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Located near White Sands National Park, the site predates the region's iconic dunes and

107
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,320
provides valuable clues about the paleo-archaic people's activities, including their use

108
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360
of mesquite charcoal.

109
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:41,760
I'm sure there will be more news to come about this significant archaeological find.

110
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:49,720
And in entertainment news, season three of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix is gearing up

111
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,840
to delve deeper into Mickey Holler's complex legal world.

112
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,160
This season, based on Michael Connolly's fifth book, The Gods of Guilt, introduces Mickey

113
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,760
grappling with a new case tied to a former client, all linked to a murder indicated by

114
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,360
a mysterious text message.

115
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,080
As Mickey confronts ghosts from his past, the storyline promises his toughest case yet,

116
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,600
blending personal trials with professional challenges.

117
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,720
Expect the return of Neve Campbell, utilizing flashbacks to enrich Mickey's backstory,

118
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,520
alongside new cast members enhancing the drama.

119
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:34,320
Anticipate a late 2024 release, with an official trailer expected soon.

120
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,360
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

121
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,880
And today, our quote comes from Jackie Robinson.

122
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,960
And number 42 said, life is not a spectator sport.

123
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,820
If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand, just watching what goes

124
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:58,800
on in my opinion, you're wasting your life.

125
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,520
So today, get out there and take a couple big swings.

126
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,180
And that's a wrap for this morning.

127
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:13,400
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

128
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,920
with local news and the weather reports.

129
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

130
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,040
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
