In local news, the Boston Red Sox just 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.699 made their first significant move of the offseason 00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.879 by trading for Sunny Gray. But now the focus 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.379 shifts to acquiring an impact bat. Red Sox chief 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:07.460 baseball officer, Craig Breslow, is prioritizing 00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:11.060 a deal for Alex Bregman, or possibly Pete Alonso. 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.139 Yet attention should also be given to Arizona 00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:17.479 Diamond Vax second baseman Ketel Marte, who is 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.879 reported to be available. Marte, who turned 32 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.919 in October, had an impressive all -star season 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.520 in 2025, with a batting average of 283, with 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.080 28 home runs. His affordable contract, totaling 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.979 $103 .5 million over six years, makes him an 00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:42.039 attractive target for Boston. which has the prospect 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:50.560 capital to make a trade happen. Now onto sports. 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.840 Thanksgiving weekend NFL games are often more 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.020 than just a break from holiday feasts. Today 00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:00.860 in Friday, the matchups hold significant importance 00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:05.039 as teams compete for playoff positions.

The Kansas 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.819 City Chiefs, with six wins and five losses, will 00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:29.779 take on the Dallas Cowboys, who have five wins, 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.579 five losses and one tie. Both teams are in desperate 00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:37.420 need of victories to stay in playoff contention. 00:04:38.230 --> 00:04:41.269 Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals, with a record 00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:44.310 of three wins and eight losses, face off against 00:04:44.310 --> 00:04:47.509 the Baltimore Ravens, who have six wins and five 00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:51.310 losses. The Ravens have won five straight games, 00:04:51.529 --> 00:04:53.930 while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow returns 00:04:53.930 --> 00:04:57.730 from injury. Lastly, the Chicago Bears, with 00:04:57.730 --> 00:05:00.910 eight wins and three losses, will challenge the 00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:04.029 Philadelphia Eagles, also with eight wins and 00:05:04.029 --> 00:05:07.399 three losses. as both teams seek to prove their 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:12.420 legitimacy. In local sports, Cade Cunningham 00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:16.019 scored 42 points, but missed a potential game 00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:18.939 -tying free throw in the closing seconds, as 00:05:18.939 --> 00:05:24.779 the Pistons fell to the Celtics 117 -114, ending 00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:29.240 their 13 -game winning streak. Jalen Brown recorded 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.920 33 points and 10 rebounds, while Derek White 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:37.180 contributed 27 points, including 11 in the final 00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:40.879 four and a half minutes. Piston's coach J .B. 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.360 Bipperstaff acknowledged the team's improvement, 00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:47.500 stating, we understand it's one game, but emphasize 00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:51.040 the need for continued growth. Peyton Pritchard 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.399 added 16 points, helping the Celtics win for 00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:00.540 the fifth time in six games. In top news, your 00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:03.250 body has a natural way of getting high. and it 00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:07.310 is not endorphins. The endocannabinoid system 00:06:07.310 --> 00:06:09.810 is found throughout the brain and body, playing 00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:12.889 a key role in everything from memory and learning, 00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:17.910 to sleep and social behavior. The endocannabinoid 00:06:17.910 --> 00:06:21.449 system is present in all human beings as well 00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:25.110 as in other mammals. It is a natural communication 00:06:25.110 --> 00:06:29.089 system that helps maintain balance. Discovered 00:06:29.089 --> 00:06:32.610 in 1990, the system responds to various chemicals, 00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:36.670 including tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. 00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:40.189 Endocannabinoids are natural neurotransmitters 00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:44.029 that activate the same receptors as tetrahydrocannabinol, 00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:48.250 but they do not produce a high. This system helps 00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:51.350 regulate vital bodily functions such as mood, 00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:57.170 appetite, and immune response. In business news, 00:06:58.310 --> 00:07:01.629 many major stores, including Costco, Walmart 00:07:01.629 --> 00:07:05.029 and Target will be closed on Thanksgiving this 00:07:05.029 --> 00:07:08.529 year. However, some major chains will be open 00:07:08.529 --> 00:07:13.189 under modified hours. For example, FastPro shops 00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:17.110 will open from 9am to 6pm, while Dollar Tree 00:07:17.110 --> 00:07:22.649 will operate from 8am to 9pm. In contrast, Aldi, 00:07:23.050 --> 00:07:26.269 Best Buy, Costco, and Walmart will be closed. 00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:31.279 In crypto movement, Bitcoin never sleeps and 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:38.120 is up 5 % to about $91 ,000.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.960 Let's talk tech. VJI, one of the world's largest 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.700 drone manufacturers, is facing a full -scale 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:45.259 ban in the United States, with a deadline of 00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:50.059 December 23rd, 2025, looming ahead. This ban 00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:52.679 is part of ongoing restrictions from the U .S. 00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:57.649 government. which has scrutinized DJI since 2017. 00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:02.629 Adam Welsh, DJI's head of global policy, stated, 00:09:03.350 --> 00:09:05.710 This is about forcing the biggest manufacturer 00:09:05.710 --> 00:09:10.629 of drones out of the market. DJI holds a staggering 00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:14.850 77 % of the U .S. consumer drone market and approximately 00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:19.539 70 % globally. If the ban is enacted, It could 00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:22.440 disrupt industries like agriculture and emergency 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.960 services that rely heavily on DJEDI products. 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.919 And in entertainment news, streaming platform 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.740 Netflix was down for about an hour for several 00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.539 users in the United States on Wednesday evening, 00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.080 coinciding with the release of the fifth and 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.259 final season of its hit series, Stranger Things. 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.460 There were less than 800 reports of the issue 00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:51.539 as of 8 .45 p .m. Eastern Time, down from a peak 00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:56.519 of 14 ,290 incidents earlier in the day, according 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.240 to Down Detector, which tracks outages using 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.379 multiple sources. Some members briefly experienced 00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:06.500 an issue streaming on TV devices, but service 00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:09.279 recovered for all accounts within five minutes. 00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:12.519 Netflix said in an emailed response to Reuters, 00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:16.960 Netflix has ranked Stranger Things as its third 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.759 most popular English language series globally. 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.220 Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote 00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:28.220 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:32.480 American author and humorist, Irma Bombeck. And 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.059 she said, Thanksgiving dinners take 18 hours 00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:39.039 to prepare. They are consumed in 12 minutes. 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.190 Half times take 12 minutes. This is not coincidence. 00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:48.330 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:52.110 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:55.470 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:10:55.470 --> 00:10:59.009 the weather reports.
