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 Wednesday, June 12th.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,000
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,240
some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment.

5
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:29,920
But first, you'll be interested to know 85 years ago, today in 1939.

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,840
The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York held its first induction ceremony

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,000
with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner among the inaugural class.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,880
In the first baseball writers' association of America Hall of Fame election in 1936,

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:54,740
Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Kristi Mathewson, Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner were chosen.

10
00:00:54,740 --> 00:01:00,960
This voting process, which considered players whose careers began after 1900, sparked national

11
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,520
debate, particularly due to unexpected votes against Cobb and Ruth.

12
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,160
This historic event solidified the significance of being a Hall of Famer.

13
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,880
So now you know.

14
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,280
And now you know what time it is.

15
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,760
It's time for the weather report.

16
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,280
In the Boston area.

17
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,080
This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 60 degrees, with 4 mile per hour wind.

18
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:35,800
The sunset will take place at 821 and it will rise again tomorrow at 506.

19
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,040
It looks like we're in for some scattered showers, mainly after 3 p.m.

20
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Other than that, mostly sunny, with a high near 73.

21
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,000
Tonight, more scattered showers before 8, with clouds and a low of 62.

22
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,400
For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Wednesday will be at 1030 a.m., with

23
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520
a high tide at 445.

24
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:09,560
The nearshore gooey at Cape Cod Bay reads 64 degrees for the water temperature.

25
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,880
Looking ahead in the weather, Thursday will be sunny, with a high near 86.

26
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:23,240
Friday has a chance of showers and thunderstorms possible after 2 p.m., with a high near 87.

27
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Showers and thunderstorms are likely again Friday night.

28
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,240
This weekend should be sunny, with highs in the upper 70s.

29
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,260
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

30
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:39,240
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

31

32
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,160
to haven for culinary delights.

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

37
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:10,360
Sunny mornings send you!

38
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,280
In local news, as part of Axios Boston's Cheapskate's Guide to Boston Summer Series,

39
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,560
the Cape Flyer offers a $10 round-trip from Boston to Cape Cod in June.

40
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:29,680
The train departs from South Station to Hyannis, stopping at several towns along the way.

41
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,240
That's bicycles and children under 11 with an adult ride free.

42
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Users and people with disabilities get half-price fares with appropriate Charlie cards.

43
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Enjoy free Wi-Fi and a cafe car on board.

44
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Tickets can be purchased via the M-Ticket app or at South Station.

45
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,600
Now on to sports.

46
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,760
Chris Stapp's Porsingis has a torn medial retinaculum, causing tendon instability, putting

47
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,720
his NBA Finals availability at risk.

48
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,160
The injury suffered during Game 2 could limit his lateral movement and shot contesting.

49
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,440
The Celtics, leading the series two games to none, may rely more on Al Horford, who

50
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,280
might see increased minutes.

51
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:28,040
Coach Joe Masulla will decide Porsingis' status with medical staff before Game 3 tonight.

52
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,400
His absence would impact Boston's offensive spacing and defensive strategy.

53
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:41,520
In local sports, Chris Stapp's Porsingis has a torn medial retinaculum, causing tendon

54
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,920
instability, putting his NBA Finals availability at risk.

55
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:53,320
The injury suffered during Game 2 could limit his lateral movement and shot contesting.

56
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,640
The Celtics, leading the series two games to none, may rely more on Al Horford, who

57
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,480
might see increased minutes.

58
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Coach Joe Masulla will decide Porsingis' status with medical staff before Game 3 tonight.

59
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,320
His absence would impact Boston's offensive spacing and defensive strategy.

60
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:23,280
In top news, Johnson & Johnson will pay $700 million to settle a lawsuit with 42 states

61
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,640
— accused of misleading customers about the safety of its talc-based baby powder.

62
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,800
The product, discontinued in 2023, was found to sometimes contain asbestos, leading to

63
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,800
cancer.

64
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:43,040
Though Johnson & Johnson has not admitted guilt, it now uses cornstarch in its baby

65
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,720
powder.

66
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,480
The settlement still requires judicial approval, and they face many more lawsuits related to

67
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,000
its talc products.

68
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,440
In business news, the proposed sale of Paramount Global to David Ellison's Skydance Media

69
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,240
collapsed due to the withdrawal of support from Sherry Redstone, the controlling shareholder.

70
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Despite months of negotiations and reaching an agreement on financial terms, the deal

71
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:20,240
fell apart because of disagreements over shareholder voting rights and cash distribution.

72
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,160
The deal will continue under its current leadership, exploring other opportunities as Redstone

73
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,520
keeps her options open amid interest from other potential buyers.

74
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:44,560
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $67,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is $151.

75
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Moving on to a more local vibe, in our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working

76
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,680
with a national Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

77
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area.

78
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

79
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,960
and elevating mental well-being.

80
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

81
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,920
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class.

82
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,240
With locations in Canton, Wellesley, Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure to

83
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,240
tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

84
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,720
And now back to the show.

85
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Let's talk science.

86
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,560
MIT researchers have developed a supercapacitor from water, cement, and carbon black, creating

87
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,560
a new way to store energy inside modified concrete.

88
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,080
Though supercapacitors charge and discharge quickly, they're less energy-dense than

89
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,060
lithium-ion batteries.

90
00:07:55,060 --> 00:07:59,760
Potential applications include roads that wirelessly charge cars and building materials

91
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,680
that store energy.

92
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Currently, the technology can only power a 10-watt LED for 30 hours, but scaling up

93
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,080
could allow it to meet residential energy needs.

94
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,920
Challenges include scaling the technology for wider deployment due to manufacturing

95
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,960
complexities and resource scarcities.

96
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:31,120
And in entertainment news, The Boys, Season 4, debuts on Prime Video tomorrow with a first

97
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,360
three episodes, followed by weekly releases until July 18.

98
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,840
Critics have mixed views on whether the show remains fresh, but agree that it delivers

99
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920
for die-hard fans.

100
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Season 4 is noted to be darker, more political, and still funny, with strong performances.

101
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:56,600
There are no major issues reported, and prior viewing of Gen V isn't necessary.

102
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,800
The show's boldness, luddiness, and humor continue to impress, though it's bleaker

103
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,000
than previous seasons.

104
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,800
Well, alrighty, folks.

105
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,920
It's time for the quote of the day.

106
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,200
And today, our quote comes from the Sultan of Swat, Bade Ruth.

107
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,200
And he said,

108
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,440
As soon as I got out there, I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound.

109
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,200
It was as if I'd been born out there.

110
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,320
Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world.

111
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,320
And striking out batters was easy.

112
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,960
And that's a wrap for this morning.

113
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,200
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

114
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,840
with local news and the weather reports.

115
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

116
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:55,440
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
