6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,120
Today is National Shrimp Day. Known as the fruit of the sea, these versatile

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,800
crustaceans can even glow in the dark.

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,680
Malvis Presley immortalized them in song, reflecting their cultural significance.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,200
Enthusiasts can indulge in various preparations, grilled, fried or chilled, and served in sandwiches,

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,520
salads or with cocktail sauce.

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Feels like a shrimp taco night.

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,640
So now you know.

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,080
Now you know what time it is.

It's time for the weather report.

And it will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 56 and wind of 10 to 13 mile per hour.

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,120

00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:55,480
The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 51 degrees for the water temperature.

25
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,520

So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

38

Sunny mornings send you.

39

In local news, enjoy a weekend filled with unique events.

40
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Start with the Somerville Porch Fest on Saturday, where local musicians fill the air with live

41
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,960
performances from noon to 6 p.m.

42
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,880
If it rains, the event moves to Sunday.

43
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Alternatively, the Watch You Sit Dam opens for a tranquil walk from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.,

44
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,400
offering stunning reservoir views.

45
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,980
On Sunday, Boston Common hosts the Duckling Day Parade, a delightful celebration starting

46
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:45,040
at 10 a.m. featuring children dressed as ducklings, music, and fun activities.

47
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Now on to sports.

48
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverly has been suspended for the first four games of

49
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,440
the upcoming NBA season without pay.

50
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,500
The suspension comes as a result of Beverly throwing a basketball into the stands, striking

51
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:07,200
a fan, during the Bucks' playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers.

52
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,500
Beverly has accepted responsibility for his actions and expressed remorse for the incident.

53
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,720
This isn't Beverly's first encounter with disciplinary action from the league, as he

54
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,560
has a history of on-court altercations and unsportsmanlike conduct.

55
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:30,480
In local sports, Boston Celtics president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens remains

56
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:37,560
unconcerned about the recent criticism of star player Jason Tatum's playoff statistics.

57
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,200
Stevens emphasized Tatum's overall impact on the game, highlighting his ability to elevate

58
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,000
his teammates and contribute in ways that go beyond scoring.

59
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,720
While acknowledging a slight dip in Tatum's scoring average during the playoffs, Stevens

60
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,440
pointed to his team-leading rebounds and assists, along with his impressive plus-minus rating

61
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,800
as evidence of his positive influence on the court.

62
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,680
Stevens believes that focusing solely on scoring statistics overlooks Tatum's valuable contributions

63
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,680
as a distributor and leader within the team.

64
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,500
The Celtics at home lost to the Cavs 118-94.

65
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:20,920
And tonight.

66
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:27,120
The Red Sox are at home to take on the Nationals in the first game of a three-game series.

67
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,760
And the Bruins are at home for game three, taking on the Panthers.

68
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,480
That series is tied one-to-one.

69
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:44,240
In top news, new research suggests that famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven may have suffered

70
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,960
from lead poisoning, potentially contributing to his lifelong health issues, including his

71
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360
well-known deafness.

72
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,880
High levels of lead were discovered in authenticated locks of Beethoven's hair, along with elevated

73
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,840
levels of arsenic and mercury.

74
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:05,760
While the lead poisoning wasn't deemed severe enough to be the sole cause of death, it's

75
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:12,160
believed to have played a role in his gastrointestinal problems, hearing loss, and other ailments.

76
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,920
The source of the lead poisoning is suspected to be a combination of factors, including

77
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,480
his consumption of wine and fish, both of which could have been contaminated with lead,

78
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,360
arsenic, and mercury during his lifetime.

79
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:33,600
In business news, WeWork, the popular co-working company, has successfully renegotiated its

80
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,180
leases in Atlanta as part of its bankruptcy proceedings.

81
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:43,680
The company will continue operating six of its 11 locations in the metro Atlanta area,

82
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,280
focusing on profitable spaces.

83
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,560
Five unprofitable locations, including its office on the Beltline East Side Trail, will

84
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,680
be closed.

85
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,600
This move comes as WeWork has reduced its global rent commitments by over $11 billion,

86
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,120
aiming for a more sustainable future.

87
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,380
The company anticipates emerging from bankruptcy by the end of May, expressing gratitude to

88
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:14,080
landlords for their cooperation during this process.

89
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,360
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,000.

90
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Ethereum is just under $3,000.

91
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,560
And Solana is $151.

92
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Moving on to a more local vibe.

93
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:36,600
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

94
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,840
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

95
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area.

96
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

97
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,440
and elevating mental well-being.

98
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

99
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:04,400
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Canton, Wellesley,

101
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by.

102
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680
And now, back to the show.

103
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Let's talk tech.

104
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:25,040
OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT, is set to announce its new AI-powered

105
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,700
search product on Monday.

106
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:32,900
This move directly challenges Google's dominance in the search engine market and intensifies

107
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:37,120
the competition between the two tech giants.

108
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,520
OpenAI's search product aims to provide users with more accurate and real-time information

109
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,800
by integrating with the web and including citations in its responses.

110
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,720
The announcement is strategically timed just before Google's annual conference, where

111
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Google is expected to unveil its own AI-related advancements.

112
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,520
And in entertainment news.

113
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,840
A recent court ruling regarding the use of a video clip in the Tiger King docu-series

114
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:14,000
has raised concerns among filmmakers about the potential limitations on fair use of copyrighted

115
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,800
material in documentaries.

116
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,680
The court determined that the use of a funeral video excerpt was not transformative enough

117
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:27,000
to qualify as fair use, potentially setting a precedent that could restrict the use of

118
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
unlicensed footage in documentaries.

119
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Researchers and industry groups argue that this ruling could have a chilling effect on

120
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,400
documentary filmmaking, particularly for projects that rely on archival footage or news clips.

121
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,880
They emphasize the importance of fair use for non-fiction storytelling and warn that

122
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,920
the ruling could lead to increased costs and legal challenges for documentarians.

123
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

124
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,840
And today, in honor of National Shrimp Day, our quote comes from everyone's favorite

125
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,840
bubba.

126
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,480
Bubba Blue from Forrest Gump.

127
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea.

128
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,280
You can barbecue it, boil it, brawl it, bake it, saute it.

129
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:24,600
There's shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan-fried, deep-fried, stir-fried.

130
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:32,160
There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp.

131
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.

132
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,800
That's about it.

133
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,480
And that's a wrap for this morning.

134
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,680
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

135
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,240
with local news and the weather reports.

136
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,240
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

137
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:22,240
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
