WEBVTT 00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.540 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.140 Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:14.080 and it's Friday, October 24th. You'll be interested 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:20.420 to know. 80 years ago, today, in 1945, delegates 00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:23.359 signed the United Nations Charter, establishing 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.399 a new international organization committed to 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.519 peace, cooperation, and collective security. 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:33.570 This founding agreement created a lasting framework 00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:36.729 for diplomatic dialogue and humanitarian law, 00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:39.969 marking a milestone in global governance and 00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:44.710 post -war reconstruction. So now you know. And 00:00:44.710 --> 00:00:51.149 now, it's time for the weather report. This morning, 00:00:51.350 --> 00:00:54.310 it's sunny and it feels like 40 degrees, with 00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:57.969 five mile per hour wind. The sunset will take 00:00:57.969 --> 00:01:01.250 place at 545 and it will rise again tomorrow 00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:05.269 at 7 .09. It looks like we're in for a mostly 00:01:05.269 --> 00:01:07.810 sunny day with a slight chance of rain showers 00:01:07.810 --> 00:01:11.049 this afternoon and a high near 60 along with 00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:15.989 a light west wind. Tonight, expect mostly clear 00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:19.670 skies with a low around 41 and a gentle west 00:01:19.670 --> 00:01:23.390 wind. For all you beach runners out there, the 00:01:23.390 --> 00:01:26.730 first, Tide Friday will be at midnight with a 00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:30.579 tide at midnight. The near shore buoy at Cape 00:01:30.579 --> 00:01:34.340 Cod Bay reads 58 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.000 Looking ahead in the weather. Saturday will be 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.200 sunny with a high near 56 and light northwest 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.280 winds around 7 miles per hour. A slight chance 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.959 of showers returns overnight into Sunday and 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.519 then each day through Tuesday with highs in the 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:57.260 low 50s and nights near 40. Bonjour, food enthusiast! 00:01:57.420 --> 00:02:00.500 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles 00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:04.379 Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

In local news, Boston's 00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:39.919 MBTA has ramped up its fare evasion crackdown, 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.539 issuing 85 warnings since September 8th, but 00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:47.319 no monetary fines yet. Under the new system, 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.719 riders receive one warning before facing fines 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.099 starting at $50 for subsequent offenses, which 00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:59.879 can rise to $100. MBTA spokesperson Maya Bingaman 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.340 noted that the Fair Engagement representative 00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:06.219 team has been well received by the public. The 00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:08.879 agency aims to ensure fair enforcement of fair 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.000 rules, training staff on biases, and cultural 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.810 intelligence. Writers can check eligibility for 00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:20.090 reduced fares online at mbta .com slash reduced, 00:03:20.469 --> 00:03:22.870 with some routes currently fare -free through 00:03:22.870 --> 00:03:32.669 a pilot program. Now onto sports. Last night, 00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:36.430 on Thursday night football, the Chargers beat 00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:40.770 the Vikings in a slaughter 37 to 10. Justin Herbert 00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:46.840 was 18 for 25. with 227 yards passing, 3 passing 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.099 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Carson Wentz 00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:56.979 was 15 for 27, with 144 yards passing, 1 passing 00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:01.319 touchdown, 1 interception. The Chargers are now 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:06.090 5 and 3, and the Vikings fall to 3 and 4. And 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.849 on Sunday Night Football this week, we got the 00:04:08.849 --> 00:04:13.409 4 -1 Packers in Pittsburgh to face the 4 -2 Steelers. 00:04:14.270 --> 00:04:18.170 Packers are favored by 2 .5, with the over -under 00:04:18.170 --> 00:04:24.170 set at 45 .5. Kickoff is at 8 .20 Eastern on 00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:28.709 NBC. And now World Series predictions are in, 00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:31.490 as experts weigh in on whether the Los Angeles 00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:34.660 Dodgers... or the Toronto Blue Jays will be crowned 00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:38.360 champions. After an October filled with dramatic 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.399 moments, the World Series has arrived. The Dodgers 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.339 have cruised to a 9 -1 record, while the Blue 00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:48.420 Jays faced a thrilling seven -game American League 00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:52.139 Championship Series. Most staff predicted the 00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:54.639 Seattle Mariners and the Philadelphia Phillies 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.579 would reach the World Series, but now the Dodgers 00:04:57.579 --> 00:05:00.019 are favored due to their dominant performance. 00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:03.420 Experts believe the matchup will be intense, 00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:06.240 with the Dodgers' depth likely giving them the 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.399 edge. Tonight, game one in Toronto with Blake 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:16.800 Snell facing Trejasovic in local sports. On Sunday, 00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:20.540 we got our 5 -2 Pats back at home facing the 00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:26.379 2 -5 Browns. The Pats are favored by 7 .5, with 00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:31.889 the over -under set at 40 .5. Kickoff is at 1 00:05:31.889 --> 00:05:38.089 on Fox. In top news, scientists have been studying 00:05:38.089 --> 00:05:41.790 super -agers for 25 years, and a recent study 00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:44.949 from Northwestern University reveals an intriguing 00:05:44.949 --> 00:05:49.209 habit they share. Super -agers who are 80 or 00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:52.350 older demonstrate cognitive functions comparable 00:05:52.350 --> 00:05:56.790 to those of middle -aged individuals. These remarkable 00:05:56.790 --> 00:05:59.870 individuals maintain a more active social life. 00:05:59.930 --> 00:06:02.350 which appears to be crucial for their mental 00:06:02.350 --> 00:06:05.870 sharpness. The research indicates that social 00:06:05.870 --> 00:06:08.930 engagement may enhance brain health, as chronic 00:06:08.930 --> 00:06:12.050 isolation can negatively impact well -being. 00:06:13.350 --> 00:06:16.170 Experts suggest that being socially active is 00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:18.769 essentially a workout for the brain, promoting 00:06:18.769 --> 00:06:24.430 overall health and cognitive resilience. In business 00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:28.620 news, decentralized exchanges are experiencing 00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.779 a significant transformation reminiscent of Robinhood's 00:06:32.779 --> 00:06:36.800 early impact on financial markets. When Robinhood 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.800 introduced commission -free trading in 2013, 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:44.160 it faced skepticism, yet by 2021, those same 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.199 traders were reshaping Wall Street. Similarly, 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.600 decentralized exchanges are overcoming initial 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.879 critiques as they democratize access and build 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.449 new market infrastructures. Critics argue that 00:06:58.449 --> 00:07:01.029 much of the volume comes from automated trading, 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:04.509 but this overlooks the foundational changes occurring. 00:07:05.689 --> 00:07:09.589 As institutional custody solutions improve, decentralized 00:07:09.589 --> 00:07:12.930 exchanges are set to offer advantages that traditional 00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:16.069 finance cannot replicate, paving the way for 00:07:16.069 --> 00:07:20.790 mainstream adoption. In crypto movement, Bitcoin 00:07:20.790 --> 00:07:25.910 is unchanged for the weak at about $111 ,000. 00:07:26.659 --> 00:07:32.199 Ethereum is down 2 % to just under $4 ,000. And 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:39.519 XRP is down 1 % to $2 .44. Moving on to a more 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.639 local vibe. In our community spotlight on health 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.259 and wellness, we are working with a national 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:49.300 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.920 so listen up.

Scientific research affirms its 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.899 benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates 00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:15.079 for a free class.

And now, 00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:28.689 back to the show. Let's talk science! The Europa 00:08:28.689 --> 00:08:31.569 Clipper spacecraft may soon be pummeled by charged 00:08:31.569 --> 00:08:34.710 particles from the ion tail of the interstellar 00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:39.009 comet, 3i Atlas. This prediction comes from two 00:08:39.009 --> 00:08:41.929 European researchers who developed computer code 00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:45.190 to identify spacecraft alignments with a comet's 00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:48.750 tail and the Sun. This harmless event presents 00:08:48.750 --> 00:08:52.049 a rare opportunity to sample material from a 00:08:52.049 --> 00:08:56.279 comet beyond our solar system. Samuel Grant from 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.179 the Finnish Meteorological Institute stated that 00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:02.639 it offers insights into interstellar comets and 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.279 their formation. However, the ongoing United 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.720 States government shutdown could hinder efforts 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.659 to activate Europa Clippers instruments for measurements 00:09:11.659 --> 00:09:14.840 during the alignment period from October 30th 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:22.100 to November 6th. And in entertainment news, Ben 00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:24.700 Stiller's touching documentary about his parents, 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:28.879 Stiller and Mira, Nothing is Lost, is now available 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.659 on Apple TV. This project is very personal to 00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:37.379 him and his family. Jerry Stiller, better known 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:40.820 as Frank Costanza in Seinfeld, was Ben Stiller's 00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:44.740 father in real life. However, many do not know 00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:47.740 that his career spanned over a decade, alongside 00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:52.159 his wife and Mira, Ben Stiller's mother. Through 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.740 this documentary, Ben Stiller and his sister 00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:58.240 uncover lost diaries, recordings and interviews, 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:02.740 revisiting their parents' lives. Well, alrighty 00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:06.759 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.899 today, our quote comes from the American diplomat 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:19.259 and historian George Kennan. And he said, And 00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:22.840 that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.580 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:29.960 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.539 the weather reports.
