became the first player to hit 60 home runs 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,560 in a single season, which was an extraordinary achievement. 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:39,240 His remarkable record stood for 34 years, until Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961. 8 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,240 So now you know. 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,400 And now, it's time for the weather report. 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,080 It looks like we're in for some partly sunny weather today, with a high near 68 and a light 11 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,080 north breeze. 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with a low of 56 and gentle winds. 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,360 For all you beach runners out there, the first high tide Monday will be just after 1030, 14 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,840 with a low tide just after 430. 15 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,920 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 16 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,640 Looking ahead in the weather. 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,320 Expect mostly cloudy skies through Wednesday, with highs around 66 to 67 degrees and light 18 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,600 northeast to east

21 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 22 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,440 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 23 00:01:48,440 -->

--> 00:02:26,000 In local news, lead paint chips continue to fall from the Tobin Bridge, which spans the 31 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Mystic River between Boston and Chelsea. 32 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,440 However, the years-long repainting project is causing significant noise pollution, prompting 33 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,440 the state to distribute white noise machines to local residents. 34 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,320 Noise levels from dust collectors have been measured at over 100 decibels, comparable 35 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,920 to a jackhammer, leading residents to describe the sound as unbearable. 36 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,880 The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will give away supplies, including white noise 37 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:03,080 machines, air conditioning units, air purifiers, and vacuum cleaners, from 10 in the morning 38 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:11,040 until 2 in the afternoon on Chestnut Street. 39 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,920 Now on to sports. 40 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:22,840 In a thrilling SEC opener, fourth-ranked Alabama defeated second-ranked Georgia 41-34. 41 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,880 Jalen Noro led Alabama with four touchdowns, including a game-winning 75-yard pass to Ryan 42 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,360 Williams late in the fourth quarter. 43 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,940 Georgia's Carson Beck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, keeping the Bulldogs 44 00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:39,920 competitive throughout. 45 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,760 Alabama's defense held strong against Georgia's final surge, sealing the victory. 46 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,940 The win improves Alabama to 4-0, while Georgia drops to 3-1. 47 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:58,200 This exciting matchup showcased both teams' high-power defenses and sets the stage for 48 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440 a competitive SEC season. 49 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,740 On Sunday night football, the Baltimore Ravens dismantled the previously unbeaten Buffalo 50 00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:10,400 Bills, winning 35-10. 51 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:18,560 Eric Henry ran for 199 yards and two touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson threw for three more. 52 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,840 The Ravens defense held Buffalo to just 236 yards, as Baltimore improved to 2-2, dropping 53 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,800 the Bills to 3-1. 54 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Tonight on Monday Night Football, we get another doubleheader as the Tennessee Titans face 55 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,520 the Miami Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks battle the Detroit Lions. 56 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:48,480 In local sports, the Patriots dropped to 1-3 after a tough 30-13 loss to the 49ers in Santa 57 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,480 Clara. 58 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:56,040 Jacobi Brissette threw for 216 yards and a touchdown, but the Pats offense struggled 59 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,720 with three turnovers. 60 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:05,080 Fred Warner's early pick-six put San Francisco in control, and the Pats couldn't recover. 61 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,160 The ground game was limited, and red zone opportunities fell short. 62 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,480 Looking ahead, the Patriots will return home to face the Dolphins next Sunday at 1. 63 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Meanwhile, Boston College pulled off a thrilling 21-20 win over Western Kentucky, with backup 64 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,720 quarterback Grayson James leading a fourth-quarter comeback. 65 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,480 James hit Jaren Bradley for an 8-yard touchdown to seal the victory, improving the Eagles 66 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,480 to 4-1. 67 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Next, they travel to face Virginia this Saturday for a noon kickoff at Scott Stadium. 68 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,200 In baseball, the Red Sox closed out their season with a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. 69 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:54,320 Vaughn Grissom's RBI double and Nick Pivetta's strong pitching secured the victory. 70 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,960 This marked Joe Castiglione's final game in the booth as he retires after 40 years. 71 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,720 Boston finished third in the AL East with an 81-81 record, missing the playoffs for 72 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,480 this second straight year, leaving fans hopeful for improvements next season. 73 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:20,560 In top news, a homeowner in Corbeil-Essence, France, had a shocking experience while renovating 74 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,760 his basement when he stumbled upon a skeleton. 75 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,400 This unexpected discovery led archaeologists to excavate the four-room cellar, ultimately 76 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,800 revealing a total of 38 skeletons and 10 plaster sarcophagi. 77 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:44,120 The site is believed to date back over 1,500 years, indicating it was once a cemetery. 78 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,080 Interestingly, this neighborhood is known for its macabre discoveries, making this find 79 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,680 all the more intriguing. 80 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,000 Talk about an unexpected turn in a home improvement project. 81 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000 In business news, Warby Parker co-founder Dave Gilbo attributes his company's success, 82 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,920 valued at $1,800,000,000 to a simple principle, being nice guys. 83 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,800 The inspiration struck during a backpacking trip in northern Thailand, where he lost his 84 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,000 glasses. 85 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,640 Upon returning to Wharton Business School in 2008, Gilbo discovered replacing them would 86 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,800 cost $700, far more than the $200 iPhone. 87 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,700 This prompted him and his fellow classmates, Neil Blumenthal, Jeff Rader, and Andy Hunt, 88 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:42,120 to create a company that sells glasses directly to consumers, removing frustrating retail 89 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,360 markups and making eyewear more accessible. 90 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,840 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $65,800. 91 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Ethereum is just over $2,600. 92 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,280 And Solana is $160. 93 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720 Moving on to a more local vibe. 94 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,320 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 95 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,400 to

talk tech. 105 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,320 The era of touch screens may be winding down as companies rediscover the appeal of physical 106 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,000 controls. 107 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,480 After nearly two decades of pushing touchable displays, product designers are reintroducing 108 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:12,120 buttons, knobs, hand sliders, in vehicles, appliances, and personal electronics. 109 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,540 In the automotive industry, manufacturers like Kaya, BMW, and Volkswagen are moving 110 00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:25,480 away from Tesla's touch screen-centric designs, favoring tactile controls instead. 111 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520 This trend is not limited to cars. 112 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,280 It extends to e-readers and induction stoves. 113 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,480 Notably, Apple has embraced this movement, adding an action button to its new iPhone 114 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,200 16 models, signaling a shift back to user-friendly designs. 115 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:51,600 And in entertainment news, in the upcoming film both, George Clooney and Brad Pitt team 116 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:58,680 up as two fixers, navigating a chaotic situation in a luxury hotel suite. 117 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:04,640 Directed by John Watts, this comedy features Clooney as a mysterious fixer who swiftly 118 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,080 tackles unsolvable problems. 119 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,720 While Pitt's character remains unnamed, adding to the intrigue. 120 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,120 The film relies on a somewhat flimsy premise, pushing these two cool characters into a buddy 121 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,320 comedy dynamic. 122 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Wolf's premiered in theaters last week before launching on Apple TV+, promising an entertaining, 123 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,560 if unconventional, double act from these Hollywood icons. 124 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:36,540 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:42,280 And today, our quote comes from the Chinese philosopher, Confucius. 126 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,040 And Confucius said, 127 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:51,080 It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop. 128 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,760 And that's a wrap for this morning. 129
