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, June 17th.

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 --> 00:00:23,360
some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment.

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:31,740
At first, you'll be interested to know, 249 years ago, today in 1775.

6
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,340
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place in Boston, Massachusetts.

7
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:41,480
This battle marked the first major conflict of the American Revolution.

8
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:45,600
Although the fighting took place on Breed's Hill, the battle's name references the nearby

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,640
Bunker Hill.

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,840
British and colonial forces clash for two hours, leaving lasting impacts on Charlestown

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,800
and the colonies.

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,600
The battle, though a tactical British victory, galvanized the colonial resistance and inspired

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,080
future generations to fight for liberty and justice.

14
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Each year, people gather at the Bunker Hill monument in remembrance.

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,160
So now you know.

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720
And now you know what time it is.

17
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
It's time for the weather report.

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,480
In the Boston area.

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:26,720
This morning it's mostly cloudy and feels like 59 degrees, with 7 mile per hour wind.

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,400
The sunset will take place at 823, and it will rise again tomorrow at 507.

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,800
It looks like we're in for a sunny day, with a high near 84 and west wind around 8 mile

22
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,360
per hour.

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,200
Tonight.

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Mostly clear, with a low around 66.

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,360
For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Monday will be at 1030 a.m., with

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,560
a high tide at 445.

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:02,440
The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reached 64 degrees for the water temperature.

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Looking ahead in the weather.

29
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Tuesday and Wednesday will be mostly sunny and hot, with highs in the mid-90s and southwest

30
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,440
wind of 6 to 8 mile per hour.

31
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,880

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,880

33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,000

36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,000

39
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,280
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

40
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,720
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,200
Sunny mornings send you.

42
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,080
In local news, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, known for his subtle provocations, stirred

43
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:19,080
the pot again after his team's 122-84 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA

44
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,080
Finals.

45
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:27,240
Despite facing a 3-1 series deficit, Kidd claimed Boston was ready to celebrate prematurely.

46
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,240
He emphasized Dallas' desperation and resilience, noting,

47
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,260
"...the hardest thing in this league is to close the door when you have a group that

48
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:36,640
has nothing to lose."

49
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Historically, no NBA team has overcome a 3-0 deficit, but Kidd remains optimistic as they

50
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,960
head to Boston for Game 5.

51
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Now on to sports.

52
00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Bryson DeChambeau has won his second U.S. Open, triumphing at Pinehurst, number two.

53
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,160
DeChambeau's victory came as Rory McElroy faltered, missing crucial putts, and continuing

54
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,960
his nearly 10-year major championship drought.

55
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,760
DeChambeau's crucial par on the 18th hole secured his win by one stroke.

56
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,200
McElroy's struggle, including bogeys on the final holes, highlighted the intense competition.

57
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,340
DeChambeau praised McElroy's skill, acknowledging his own luck in the victory.

58
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:36,280
This win adds to DeChambeau's 2020 U.S. Open title, showcasing his resilience and strategic

59
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:39,240
play under pressure.

60
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,160
In local sports, the Red Sox at home beat the Yankees 9-3.

61
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,360
Tonight, the Sox are on the road in Toronto to take on the Blue Jays.

62
00:04:52,360 --> 00:05:00,320
The Celtics are back at the Garden to take on the Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

63
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:07,680
In top news, Warring Kitty added 4 million more GameStop shares, bringing his total stake

64
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,920
to 9 million shares, valued at $262 million.

65
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:22,000
Despite this move, GameStop stock sank 4%, trading at $30.18 on Friday.

66
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Last week, Keith Gill, known as Warring Kitty, revealed his 120,000 GameStop call options.

67
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Fans speculate he used proceeds from these options to buy the additional shares.

68
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,200
GameStop recently raised $2 billion from a share sale, but reported a 28% drop in first-quarter

69
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,480
net sales.

70
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:55,760
In business news, a $4.5 billion settlement between Duquan, Terraform Labs, and the SEC

71
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:02,640
marks a resolution in the high-profile case involving Quan's failed stablecoin.

72
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,160
This follows a series of legal actions in the crypto sector, including Binance's $4

73
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,000
billion settlement.

74
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Quan, known for his collapsed stablecoin in 2022, faces significant legal challenges.

75
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:24,680
With Terraform Labs' bankrupt, the ability to pay the fine remains uncertain.

76
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,720
This settlement is part of broader efforts to hold crypto bad actors accountable as the

77
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,460
market matures, with increasing involvement from major financial firms.

78
00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:49,400
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $66,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is $147.

79
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:56,260
Moving on to a more local vibe, in our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working

88
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,520
And now, back to the show.

89
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Let's talk science.

90
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:46,320
NASA's 47-year-old Voyager 1 probe is fully operational again after seven months of technical

91
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,000
issues.

92
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,520
In November 2023, the spacecraft over 15 billion miles from Earth began transmitting unreadable

93
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,240
data.

94
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Engineers traced the problem to corrupted memory in its light data subsystem computer.

95
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:10,560
By April, two instruments were restored, and now all four are sending readable data.

96
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,260
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 continues its mission, studying interstellar space, showcasing

97
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:21,720
the incredible longevity and resilience of this historic probe.

98
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:32,480
And in entertainment news, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as two thieves on the run.

99
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,480
In the trailer for Doug Liman's heist movie, The Instigators, set to premiere on Apple

100
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:44,960
TV, plus on August 9, Damon plays Worry, a desperate father, and Affleck is Cobby, an

101
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000
ex-con.

102
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,280
After their heist on a corrupt mayor, goes awry, they embark on a chaotic escape with

103
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Rury's therapist, portrayed by Han Cha, reluctantly joining their adventure.

104
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,960
The film also features Michael Stolberg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina,

105
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Toby Jones, and Jack Carlo.

106
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,760
The Instigators is produced by Artist Equity, Studio 8, and The Walsh Company.

107
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,840
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

108
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:26,320
And today, our quote comes from the U.S. representative who originally dedicated the Bunker Hill monument

109
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,920
in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Daniel Webster.

110
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,920
And he said,

111
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,640
Behold, then, fellow citizens, the difference resulting from the operation of the two principles.

112
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,320
Here, today, on the summit of Bunker Hill, and at the foot of this monument, behold the

113
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,320
difference.

114
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,880
I would that the 50,000 voices present could proclaim it with a shout, which should be

115
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,040
heard over the globe.

116
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,720
And that's a wrap for this morning.

00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,960
