It looks like we're in for some isolated 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.719 snow showers afternoon, turning partly sunny 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.840 later with a high near 41 and a strong west wind 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.959 at 15 to 22 miles per hour, gusting up to 39. 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.680 Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:25.480 around 33 and a brisk west wind at 14 to 21 miles 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.730 per hour. gusting as high as 37.

They are open every 00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:51.759 day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.780 to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local 00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:01.280 news, Boston's MBTA is preparing for a nine -day 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.159 closure of the Red Line's Braintree branch starting 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.740 on November 15th through November 23rd for essential 00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:10.219 track maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.759 During this time, riders will be directed to 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.620 shuttle buses and commuter rail trains for free 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:20.560 transportation between the affected stops. The 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.419 agency stated this work will improve the reliability 00:03:23.419 --> 00:03:26.530 of service allowing trains to run at 50 miles 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:30.009 per hour in the area. Riders should plan for 00:03:30.009 --> 00:03:32.629 extra travel time as a trip from Park Street 00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:35.810 Station in downtown Boston to Braintree may take 00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:40.250 an additional 35 minutes. More details on alternate 00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:43.750 travel options can be found on the MBTA's website. 00:03:48.870 --> 00:03:53.849 Now on to sports. Is baseball next? for Kyler 00:03:53.849 --> 00:03:57.250 Murray? It is hard to envision another national 00:03:57.250 --> 00:04:00.169 football lead team giving up much for him, let 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:03.990 alone assuring him a starting job. The Cardinals' 00:04:04.449 --> 00:04:06.849 decision to name Jacoby Brissette their starting 00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:09.650 quarterback did not matter in Week 10 against 00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:13.770 a red -hot Seahawks team in Seattle. It is clear 00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:16.189 the Arizona staff would rather bet its future 00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:20.589 on Brissette than on Murray. the 2019 No. 1 draft 00:04:20.589 --> 00:04:23.670 choice, earning seven times as much an annual 00:04:23.670 --> 00:04:28.170 salary. Murray turns 29 before next season, and 00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:30.529 the Major League Baseball's athletics own his 00:04:30.529 --> 00:04:33.829 baseball rights. And if you are a fan of offense, 00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:38.529 Monday night in Green Bay was ugly. The Philadelphia 00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:42.389 Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 10 -7 in 00:04:42.389 --> 00:04:46.220 a tightly contested match at Lambeau Field. The 00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:48.759 Eagles' chances of capturing the number one seed 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.720 rose to 33 % with this win. Jalen Hurts connected 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.779 with Devonta Smith for a 36 -yard touchdown pass, 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.819 helping the Eagles improve to 7 -2. Meanwhile, 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.639 the Packers struggled, scoring their first points 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.420 with just 5 minutes and 49 seconds left in the 00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:12.899 game. They fell from first to third in the NFC 00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:15.620 North standings with a record of . . . five wins, 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:21.519 three losses, and one tie in local sports. After 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.180 seven straight wins, the Patriots are no longer 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:27.220 just a scrappy surprise team, proving they are 00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.819 the best team in the American football conference 00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:33.579 heading into Week 11. Their recent victory over 00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:36.439 the Buccaneers showcased their impressive potential, 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.300 with quarterback Drake May leading a balanced 00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:42.860 offense. While the Colts and Broncos have similar 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:46.139 records, they still have much to prove, unlike 00:05:46.139 --> 00:05:49.519 New England. In a significant coaching move, 00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:52.459 Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play 00:05:52.459 --> 00:05:55.439 -calling duties, resulting in a solid win against 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.240 the commanders. Meanwhile, pressure mounts for 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.540 Falcons coach Raheem Morris as the team struggles 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:08.540 to find success. In top news, an observatory 00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:11.779 detected the first radio signal from the interstellar 00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:15.930 object. 3 -I Atlas, confirming its natural origin. 00:06:17.149 --> 00:06:20.649 This signal, detected by Meerkat, a radio telescope 00:06:20.649 --> 00:06:24.209 in South Africa, was not a technological transmission. 00:06:25.290 --> 00:06:27.449 Instead, it showed lines of radio absorption 00:06:27.449 --> 00:06:31.209 by hydroxyl radicals, consistent with typical 00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:35.689 comet activity. Astrophysicist A. V. Loeb noted 00:06:35.689 --> 00:06:38.629 that continued monitoring is necessary to determine 00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:43.250 the nature of 3 -I Atlas. While some still speculate 00:06:43.250 --> 00:06:46.110 about its origin, the detection has sparked public 00:06:46.110 --> 00:06:49.550 interest in astrophysics. Mark your calendars 00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:53.990 for December 19, when 3I Atlas reaches its closest 00:06:53.990 --> 00:07:00.050 point to Earth. In business news, Warren Buffett, 00:07:00.410 --> 00:07:03.269 the 95 -year -old chairman and chief executive 00:07:03.269 --> 00:07:06.250 officer of Berkshire Hathaway, announced he is 00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:08.990 going quiet in his annual Thanksgiving letter. 00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:12.389 While he will continue writing messages to his 00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:14.970 children and shareholders, he will no longer 00:07:14.970 --> 00:07:17.649 write the annual shareholder letter once Greg 00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.310 Abel takes over as chief executive at the end 00:07:20.310 --> 00:07:23.449 of this year. Buffett expressed he generally 00:07:23.449 --> 00:07:26.209 feels good, despite the effects of aging on his 00:07:26.209 --> 00:07:30.290 balance, sight, hearing, and memory. He donated 00:07:30.290 --> 00:07:34.490 shares valued at roughly $1 .3 billion to four 00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:38.009 family foundations. Buffett remains optimistic 00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:40.889 about Berkshire's future and discusses the importance 00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:44.790 of philanthropy and succession planning. In crypto 00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:50.230 movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at $106 ,000. 00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:54.149 Ethereum is down half a percent to just under 00:07:54.149 --> 00:08:02.930 $3 ,600. And XRP is up 3 % to $2 .51. Moving 00:08:02.930 --> 00:08:07.250 on to a more local vibe.

And now, 00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:52.629 back to the show. Let's talk science. Around 00:08:52.629 --> 00:08:55.070 the world, the race is on to harness the near 00:08:55.070 --> 00:08:58.970 -infinite power of nuclear fusion. In a small 00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:02.620 town in the south of France, A scientific megaproject 00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:05.759 is inching closer to solving global energy needs 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:10.179 by building a star on Earth. The project, called 00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:13.740 ITER, aims to replicate the Sun's process of 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:16.519 fusion, which produces energy without carbon 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.539 emissions. Despite facing delays and skepticism 00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:24.759 from some scientists, ITER has reached significant 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.659 milestones, including the successful installation 00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:31.600 of the first vacuum vessel module. As nations 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.480 collaborate, the project symbolizes hope for 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.620 clean energy, though challenges remain ahead. 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:41.419 The ultimate goal is to achieve energy -positive 00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:49.679 fusion by 2039. And in entertainment news, in 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.740 an exclusive exit interview, late -night host 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.799 Steph Colbert reflects on his cancellation from 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.870 The Late Show. after nearly nine years as the 00:09:58.870 --> 00:10:02.570 number one show in late night. Colbert humorously 00:10:02.570 --> 00:10:05.210 shares his surprise upon learning from his manager 00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:08.350 that the show would end, calling it interesting. 00:10:09.330 --> 00:10:12.029 He notes that the decision was purely financial, 00:10:12.409 --> 00:10:15.490 unrelated to the show's performance. Despite 00:10:15.490 --> 00:10:18.669 the cancellation, Colbert emphasizes his commitment 00:10:18.669 --> 00:10:22.289 to making the remaining episodes memorable. He 00:10:22.289 --> 00:10:24.830 describes the energy he receives from the audience 00:10:24.830 --> 00:10:28.480 as the best medicine and expresses gratitude 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.639 for his time in late -night television. Well, 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.539 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:39.659 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:45.159 poet and essayist, Edgar A. Guest. And he said, 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.419 And that's a wrap for this morning.
