WEBVTT 00:00:01.519 --> 00:00:04.240 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:08.839 Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:13.599 and it's Tuesday, July 29th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.859 to know, 67 years ago today in 1958, the United 00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:21.440 States took a monumental leap into the cosmos 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.640 with the establishment of the National Aeronautics 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.579 and Space Administration, known as NASA. Signed 00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:33.039 into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, this 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.140 visionary act marked the dawn of a new era in 00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:40.399 space exploration and scientific discovery. From 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.960 landing the first humans on the moon to exploring 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.520 the far reaches of our solar system, NASA has 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.299 continually pushed the boundaries of human knowledge 00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:52.460 and inspired generations to look to the stars. 00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:58.299 So now you know. And now. It's time for the weather 00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:03.820 report. This morning it's sunny and it feels 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:08.959 like 73 degrees with 7 mile per hour wind.

It looks like we're 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.340 in for a scorching day with sunny skies and temperatures 00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:23.400 hitting around 97 but feeling like a steamy 100. 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.799 Expect a light southwest breeze at 7. Tonight, 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.500 we'll have mostly clear skies, a low of 74 and 00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:37.299 gentle winds. For all you beach runners out there, 00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:41.359 the first low tide Tuesday will be at 915 with 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:46.099 a high tide at 330. The near shore buoy at Cape 00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:50.079 Cod Bay reads 67 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:55.590 Looking ahead in the weather. This week, expect 00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:59.049 mostly sunny skies on Wednesday with a high near 00:01:59.049 --> 00:02:02.790 94 and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. 00:02:03.510 --> 00:02:06.469 Wednesday night, expect a chance of showers with 00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:11.050 a low around 69.

In local news, a Brockton 00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:10.000 lawmaker aims to promote South Shore's Mar Pizza 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.189 as Massachusetts' official pizza variety. A unique 00:03:14.189 --> 00:03:16.870 thin crust pan pizza that has gained popularity 00:03:16.870 --> 00:03:20.830 over the last decade. State Senator Michael Brady, 00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:23.810 a Democrat from Brockton, has filed legislation 00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:27.710 to establish this designation. The bill defines 00:03:27.710 --> 00:03:30.830 bar pizza as a 10 -inch thin crust with cheese 00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:33.930 extending to the edges, creating a burned lace 00:03:33.930 --> 00:03:37.770 around the crust. While the bill faces no organized 00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:40.889 opposition, it must gain traction among Democratic 00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:44.830 leaders. Brady believes this could enhance business 00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:53.330 and revenue for the Commonwealth. Now on to sports. 00:03:54.849 --> 00:03:57.490 Mike Trout's return to the outfield keeps being 00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:01.530 delayed, with no clear timeline in sight. Initially 00:04:01.530 --> 00:04:04.430 expected to come back on May 30th, then after 00:04:04.430 --> 00:04:07.310 the All -Star break, Trout is now sidelined due 00:04:07.310 --> 00:04:10.740 to left knee soreness. This is the same knee 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:14.400 that required two surgeries last season. Trout 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.060 said, still trying to get back out there, for 00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:20.139 sure, indicating his struggle to ramp up intensity. 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:24.199 With a mere 2 .8 % chance of making the playoffs, 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.399 the Angels may need to shift Trout into a designated 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.220 hitter role, while George Soler's struggles complicate 00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:36.439 their roster decisions. In local sports, Last 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.060 night in Minneapolis, the Red Sox were edged 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:43.720 out by the Twins 5 -4. Despite a ninth -inning 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.959 rally with Anthony driving in runs, the Sox fell 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.420 short as the loss was handed to Hicks, unable 00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:54.620 to contain the late surge by Minnesota. Kiersey 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:57.019 and Lee powered the Twins with crucial hits, 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.579 and although Fitz started strong, the bullpen 00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:05.279 couldn't hold. The Sox now stand at 57 wins and 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.600 51 losses, needing a boost on the road. Tonight, 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.519 the Sox face the Twins in Minneapolis for Game 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.620 2 of this three -game series. Lucas Giolito, 00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:21.000 boasting a 3 .97 earned run average, takes the 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.300 mound for the Twins, while the Sox's pitcher 00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:27.839 remains undecided. First pitch is at 740 under 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:33.870 clear skies and a warm 85 degrees. In top news, 00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:37.750 a new study from Keck Medicine School of USC 00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:41.250 reveals a staggering increase in alcohol -related 00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:44.410 liver disease among heavy drinkers, even without 00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:47.930 increased consumption. The incidence has more 00:05:47.930 --> 00:05:50.889 than doubled, particularly among women, older 00:05:50.889 --> 00:05:54.589 adults, and those with health conditions. Over 00:05:54.589 --> 00:05:57.149 two decades, the percentage of heavy drinkers 00:05:57.149 --> 00:06:00.990 with significant liver scarring rose from 1 .8%. 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:06.579 to 4 .3%. The study analyzed data from over 44 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.939 ,000 adults and showed that heavy drinking demographics 00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:14.620 have shifted. Experts suggest that current definitions 00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:17.939 of heavy drinking may be too lenient, prompting 00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.560 a need for revised screening methods and public 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.480 health strategies. In business news, Artificial 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.259 intelligence is dramatically altering the job 00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:33.100 landscape for recent college graduates. Many 00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.860 employers, facing a shift in hiring practices, 00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:39.459 now prefer experienced professionals over entry 00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.660 -level staff as AI tools like ChatGPT can perform 00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:46.160 tasks traditionally assigned to young workers. 00:06:46.819 --> 00:06:49.800 This trend has led to a decline in entry -level 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.230 job offerings. with a notable 50 % drop in such 00:06:53.230 --> 00:06:56.750 hires among major tech companies since 2019. 00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:00.670 Graduates are finding themselves competing not 00:07:00.670 --> 00:07:03.410 only with fewer positions, but also with those 00:07:03.410 --> 00:07:06.850 who have been laid off. Experts warn this could 00:07:06.850 --> 00:07:09.589 reshape the workforce, diminishing opportunities 00:07:09.589 --> 00:07:13.790 for skill development among new graduates. In 00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:18.240 crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 1%. to about 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.120 $118 ,000. Ethereum is down 0 .5 % to just under 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:33.379 $3 ,800. And XRP is down 4 % to $3 .12. Moving 00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:37.579 on to a more local vibe.

And 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.300 now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Tesla 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:26.040 is attempting to transform the gas station experience 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.360 with its new diner in Hollywood, where electric 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.120 vehicle owners can enjoy a meal while charging 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.120 their cars. While this retro -futuristic location 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.360 features 80 chargers and entertainment, the future 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.039 of electric vehicle charging is likely to be 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.039 more practical. Many drivers already charge at 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.679 home for convenience and cost. Innovations in 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.600 battery technology are paving the way for ultra 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.440 -fast charging options, potentially making gas 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.019 stations less relevant. Instead of focusing on 00:09:00.019 --> 00:09:02.179 entertainment, the aim should be to integrate 00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.279 more charging stations where vehicles are already 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.620 parked, enhancing accessibility. And in entertainment 00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:16.190 news...

However, Adrian Grenier 00:09:30.429 --> 00:09:32.850 will not reprise his character, Nate Cooper. 00:09:33.909 --> 00:09:37.090 Directed by David Frankel, this sepal picks up 00:09:37.090 --> 00:09:39.730 after the original story of aspiring journalist 00:09:39.730 --> 00:09:42.809 Andy Sachs. who navigates the cutthroat fashion 00:09:42.809 --> 00:09:47.149 world under Miranda Priestly. While plot details 00:09:47.149 --> 00:09:49.809 remain under wraps, the film is set to premiere 00:09:49.809 --> 00:09:54.330 in theaters on May 1, 2026, nearly 20 years after 00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:58.210 the original's release. Well, alrighty folks, 00:09:58.529 --> 00:10:02.370 it's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:10:02.549 --> 00:10:05.269 our quote comes from the American inventor and 00:10:05.269 --> 00:10:10.159 engineer, Charles Kettering. And he said, The 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.720 world hates change, yet it is the only thing 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.639 that has brought progress. And that's a wrap 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.700 for this morning.
