00:00:01.660 --> 00:00:04.540
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.119
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.539 --> 00:00:14.140
and it's Friday, November 21st. You'll be interested

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:20.260
to know. 40 years ago, today, in 1985, President

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:23.899
Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev

00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:26.879
met in Geneva for a breakthrough summit. that

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.120
opened a new chapter of candid dialogue on nuclear

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.840
arms and human concerns. Their willingness to

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.020
engage in direct, respectful talks set a hopeful

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.719
precedent for de -escalation and cooperation,

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:43.460
shaping later agreements and easing global tensions.

00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:49.299
So now you know. And now, it's time for the weather

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:55.240
report. This morning it's partly sunny and it

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.140
feels like 26 degrees with 5 mile per hour wind.

00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:03.320
The sunset will take place at 416 and it will

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.700
rise again tomorrow at 643. It looks like we're

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:10.760
in for a partly sunny day with a high near 50

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.560
and a light southwest wind at 5 to 13 miles per

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.640
hour. Tonight. There's a slight chance of rain

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.579
showers, then patchy fog, with mostly cloudy

00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:25.219
skies and a low around 41, along with a gentle

00:01:25.219 --> 00:01:28.799
southwest breeze. For all you beach runners out

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.579
there, the first high tide Friday will be at

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:36.439
1130, with the low tide at 6. The nearshore gooey

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.939
at Cape Cod Bay reads 50 degrees for the water

00:01:39.939 --> 00:01:45.450
temperature. Looking ahead in the weather. Saturday

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:48.310
starts with patchy fog and a slight chance of

00:01:48.310 --> 00:01:51.069
brief rain before midmorning, then turns partly

00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:54.629
sunny with highs near 48 and a northwest wind

00:01:54.629 --> 00:01:58.650
of 6 to 10 miles per hour. Sunday and Monday

00:01:58.650 --> 00:02:01.890
are dry with highs in the mid to upper 40s, nights

00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:04.950
cooling into the low 30s, and mainly west to

00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:08.009
northwest breezes near 6 to 10 miles per hour.

00:02:08.739 --> 00:02:11.639
Tuesday becomes mostly cloudy with a chance of

00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.080
afternoon rain and rain, likely Tuesday night,

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.900
as temperatures hold near 50 with south winds.

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:21.300
Bonjour, food enthusiasts. This podcast is brought

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:25.139
to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

00:02:25.900 --> 00:02:29.060
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:32.719
Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for

00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.879
culinary delights. Indulge in their amazing eggs

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.900
Benedict. or their gluten -free crepes. You can

00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:43.919
grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through

00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.180
to get your morning coffee. They are open every

00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:51.520
day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget

00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.539
to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local

00:02:56.539 --> 00:03:00.520
news, Boston's legal seafoods at Copley Place

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.360
failed a recent health inspection after a live

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.620
mouse was spotted in the dining room near the

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:09.199
bar. according to a report from November 18th.

00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.699
Health inspectors also found mouse droppings

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:14.379
near a storage shelving unit during the inspection.

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.340
This is not the first instance, as inspectors

00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.460
reported mouse droppings last winter, and a Yelp

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.120
reviewer noted seeing a mouse while dining in

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.680
August. While this particular location has faced

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.000
issues, other legal seafoods locations have not

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:39.189
reported any rodent problems this year. Now on

00:03:39.189 --> 00:03:43.889
to sports. Number 16 Southern California visits

00:03:43.889 --> 00:03:47.590
Number 6 Oregon in a marquee matchup with college

00:03:47.590 --> 00:03:51.430
football playoff implications. Southern California

00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:54.310
must overcome its road challenges against Oregon

00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:58.090
to secure a playoff spot. The Trojans also need

00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:01.250
to win their season finale against rival UCLA.

00:04:02.629 --> 00:04:05.650
This crucial game influences everything for both

00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:09.449
teams. Trojan's coach Lincoln Riley expressed

00:04:09.449 --> 00:04:13.430
confidence in his team. Oregon is under pressure,

00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:16.050
too, as a loss could end their playoff hopes.

00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:19.629
Coach Dan Lanning acknowledged the excitement

00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:23.689
of high -stakes games. And over to pro football.

00:04:24.129 --> 00:04:26.529
Houston's dominant defense sacked Josh Allen

00:04:26.529 --> 00:04:29.389
eight times, and Kellen Bullock forced three

00:04:29.389 --> 00:04:32.230
turnovers. With his second interception sealing

00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:36.050
the Texans, 23 -19 win over the Buffalo Bills

00:04:36.050 --> 00:04:40.269
on Thursday Night Football. Allen took consecutive

00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:42.750
sacks on the Bills' final possession, leading

00:04:42.750 --> 00:04:47.870
to a fourth in 27. Davis Mills threw for 153

00:04:47.870 --> 00:04:50.829
yards with two first -half touchdown passes to

00:04:50.829 --> 00:04:53.670
help the Texans improve to six wins and five

00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:58.529
losses. Cook rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown,

00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:02.569
marking his third consecutive 1 ,000 -yard season.

00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:06.230
The Texans regained the lead with an 8 -yard

00:05:06.230 --> 00:05:10.769
touchdown pass just before halftime. In local

00:05:10.769 --> 00:05:14.430
sports, with the way Drake May is performing

00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:17.649
and the struggles of Cincinnati's defense, Joe

00:05:17.649 --> 00:05:20.550
Burrow's potential return on Sunday may do little

00:05:20.550 --> 00:05:24.110
to change the outlook for the Bengals. Borov

00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:26.329
has been a full participant in practice this

00:05:26.329 --> 00:05:29.449
week, working his way back from a turf toe injury

00:05:29.449 --> 00:05:33.430
he sustained on September 14th against Jacksonville.

00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:37.430
Bengals coach Zach Taylor stated, I am not there

00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:40.389
yet. We will use the time we have and come up

00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:44.370
with the best decision. May has completed 71

00:05:44.370 --> 00:05:50.389
.9 % of his passes for 2 ,836 yards, both lead

00:05:50.389 --> 00:05:55.089
best. Cincinnati's all -pro receiver Jemar Chase

00:05:55.089 --> 00:05:57.889
will surgo one game suspension after spitting

00:05:57.889 --> 00:06:04.149
on Pittsburgh's Jalen Ramsey. In top news, flying

00:06:04.149 --> 00:06:06.790
without a real identification could cost you

00:06:06.790 --> 00:06:10.170
$18 and require a trip through a new screening

00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:14.110
process. The Transportation Security Administration

00:06:14.110 --> 00:06:17.790
announced a new biometric kiosk system for travelers

00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:21.660
without real identification. charging $18 for

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:26.360
10 days of airport security access. Facial recognition

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.920
technology will verify identity, though security

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.079
clearance is not guaranteed and additional screening

00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.699
may still occur. Travelers could be subject to

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:39.620
this new airport security screening program without

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:43.339
a real identification or passport. It remains

00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:46.319
unclear when the new system and fee will be implemented.

00:06:47.050 --> 00:06:50.129
The Transportation Security Administration is

00:06:50.129 --> 00:06:53.009
working to ensure security and efficiency at

00:06:53.009 --> 00:06:59.089
checkpoints. In business news, real estate investors

00:06:59.089 --> 00:07:02.129
are increasingly turning to the invisible housing

00:07:02.129 --> 00:07:06.209
market to find deals. Among single -family real

00:07:06.209 --> 00:07:09.910
estate investors, 21 % say they first look to

00:07:09.910 --> 00:07:13.370
off -market deal sources. In a recent survey,

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.360
44 % of United States real estate investors plan

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.279
to grow their portfolios in the near term. Two

00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.480
-thirds of investors find the most frustrating

00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.240
part of buying is finding deals that cash flow.

00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:30.939
63 % would only accept a mortgage rate of 6 %

00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:34.259
or lower on their next purchase. The investor

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:37.579
landscape is expansion -minded, but more selective

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:41.060
and operationally focused than in prior years.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:46.519
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down half a percent

00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.720
for the week to just under $86 ,000. Ethereum

00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:57.180
is down 12 % to just over $2 ,800. And XRP is

00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:03.040
down half a percent to $1 .98. Moving on to a

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.139
more local vibe. In our community spotlight on

00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:10.040
health and wellness, we are working with a national

00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.110
Pilates studio to bring you some free classes,

00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:17.709
so listen up. Check out Club Pilates with several

strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental

00:08:27.230 --> 00:08:30.610
well -being. Scientific research affirms its

00:08:30.610 --> 00:08:34.750
benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates

00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:38.970

Hingham, Brookline and Framingham, just be sure

00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:47.470
to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now

00:08:47.470 --> 00:08:53.129
back to the show. Let's talk tech. Amazon's lawsuit

00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:55.789
against perplexity has opened the door to the

00:08:55.789 --> 00:08:59.950
major conflict over AI browsers. This dispute

00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:02.789
highlights what is now being called the DoorDash

00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:06.500
problem. At its core, this issue concerns the

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.580
impact of AI interfaces on service providers

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:12.980
like DoorDash and their relationships with consumers.

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:17.399
If users increasingly rely on AI agents to order

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.340
products, traditional business models could be

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:24.860
jeopardized. Amazon's legal action aims to stop

00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:28.200
Perplexity's AI -powered Comet browser from shopping

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.019
on its website, which it claims violates the

00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:34.950
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This confrontation

00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:38.409
signals a significant shift in the economic landscape

00:09:38.409 --> 00:09:46.169
driven by AI. And in entertainment news, Christopher

00:09:46.169 --> 00:09:49.129
Nolan revealed to Empire magazine that he shot

00:09:49.129 --> 00:09:52.370
over 2 million feet of film during the making

00:09:52.370 --> 00:09:55.950
of The Odyssey, which filmed for 91 days earlier

00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:59.629
this year. The movie is Nolan's adaptation of

00:09:59.629 --> 00:10:02.649
Homer's Greek epic and Marx's follow -up project

00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:05.340
to Oppenheimer. which won him the Oscars for

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:09.519
Best Picture and Director. Nolan noted, as a

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.240
filmmaker, you're looking for gaps in cinematic

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.039
culture, things that haven't been done before.

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.860
Matt Damon reunites with Nolan to headline The

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:22.100
Odyssey in the lead role Hodesius, alongside

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:25.659
a stellar cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway,

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:29.580
and Zendaya. The film is set for release on July

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:35.929
17th. 2026 from Universal Pictures. Well, alrighty

00:10:35.929 --> 00:10:39.929
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And

00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:43.210
today, our quote comes from the American diplomat

00:10:43.210 --> 00:10:46.929
and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, George C. Marshall.

00:10:48.029 --> 00:10:52.330
And he said, Peace is more than the absence of

00:10:52.330 --> 00:10:56.330
war. It is a positive force, a vital force, a

00:10:56.330 --> 00:11:00.590
constructive force. And that's a wrap for this

00:11:00.590 --> 00:11:04.149
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,

00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:14.610
an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see you

00:11:14.610 --> 00:11:17.570
tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings

00:11:17.570 --> 00:11:18.070
in Boston.
