I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:12.939 and it's Friday, April 3rd. You'll be interested 00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:18.039 to know. Today is Good Friday. Good Friday commemorates 00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.460 the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, inviting quiet 00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.379 reflection, communal worship, and remembrance 00:00:24.379 --> 00:00:27.339 of sacrifice that shapes Christian faith and 00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:32.770 practice. So now you know. And now, it's time 00:00:32.770 --> 00:00:38.130 for the weather report.

The sunset will take place at 7 .11, 00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:51.310 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .18. It 00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:53.289 looks like we're in for a foggy morning with 00:00:53.289 --> 00:00:56.009 a slight chance of rain showers before 10 a .m., 00:00:56.009 --> 00:01:00.170 turning mostly cloudy with a high near 65. and 00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:04.010 a moderate south wind, around 8 mph, gusting 00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:07.849 up to 21. If you're inland, it will hit a high 00:01:07.849 --> 00:01:13.569 of 65. Tonight, expect patchy fog after 1 a .m., 00:01:13.569 --> 00:01:17.549 partly cloudy skies, and a low around 48, with 00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:21.510 a moderate southwest wind, around 8 mph, gusting 00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:25.730 up to 21. The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay 00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:31.040 reads 39 degrees for the water temperature. Looking 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.780 ahead in the weather.

In local news, American Express is 00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:45.550 set to open a lounge with a terrace at Logan 00:02:45.550 --> 00:02:50.289 Airport in 2029. This new two -story lounge will 00:02:50.289 --> 00:02:53.539 be located at Terminal C. and is described as 00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:57.039 inspired by Boston's historic character and coastal 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.439 charm. The lounge will showcase local artwork 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.080 and design elements that highlight the city's 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:07.020 green spaces, harbor vistas, and academic legacy. 00:03:08.219 --> 00:03:11.120 Signature amenities will include premium food 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.659 and beverage options, seating, complimentary 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:16.979 high -speed Wi -Fi, and dedicated workstations. 00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:21.250 Massport has approved a budget of up to $75 million 00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:24.370 for the lounge's shell, while American Express 00:03:24.370 --> 00:03:29.370 will invest $391 million, including an annual 00:03:29.370 --> 00:03:40.129 rent of $10 million. Now on to sports. Kirk Cousins 00:03:40.129 --> 00:03:42.689 has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, which 00:03:42.689 --> 00:03:45.110 makes perfect sense for the team as a mentor 00:03:45.110 --> 00:03:48.629 for Fernando Mendoza. The Raiders have added 00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.090 the veteran quarterback, according to his agent, 00:03:51.229 --> 00:03:54.210 Mike McCartney, just days after speculation about 00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:57.289 his future arose during the NFL owners' meetings. 00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.830 Cousins was released by the Atlanta Falcons, 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:03.509 who are moving forward with Michael Pennix Jr. 00:04:03.849 --> 00:04:08.430 and Tua Tagovailova. At 37 years old, Cousins 00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:14.050 brings nearly 45 ,000 career passing yards, 298... 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.100 touchdown passes, and four Pro Bowl selections. 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.420 This signing aligns with the Raiders' new head 00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:23.399 coach, Clint Kubiak, and their number one pick 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.139 in the 2026 NFL Draft. In local sports, the Bees 00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:31.939 fell to the Panthers 2 -1 on Thursday night in 00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:34.819 Sunrise, Florida, ending their playoff hopes. 00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:38.560 Despite a strong effort, with Fraser Minton scoring 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.970 a late first -period goal, The Bruins couldn't 00:04:41.970 --> 00:04:44.569 overcome a quick start from the Panthers, who 00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:47.730 got goals from Maki Samoskevic and Sam Bennett 00:04:47.730 --> 00:04:52.170 in the first. Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves in 00:04:52.170 --> 00:04:55.589 the loss, while Panthers goaltender Sergi Bobrovsky 00:04:55.589 --> 00:05:00.569 turned aside 28 shots overall. Next up, the Bruins 00:05:00.569 --> 00:05:03.230 will face the Lightning on Saturday, while the 00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:05.410 Panthers head to Pittsburgh on the same day. 00:05:05.990 --> 00:05:09.839 And this afternoon at Fenway Park... It's opening 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.899 day. The two and four Padres are in town to face 00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:17.920 the one and five Red Sox at 210. Michael King 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:24.399 faces Sonny Gray. In top news, just how much 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.600 are 12 metric tons of stolen Kit Kat bars worth? 00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:32.209 A lot of promotional gold, it turns out. Over 00:05:32.209 --> 00:05:34.870 the weekend, Nestle confirmed that thieves had 00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:41.449 swiped 413 ,793 units of Kit Kats somewhere along 00:05:41.449 --> 00:05:44.129 their way from a factory in central Italy to 00:05:44.129 --> 00:05:47.290 Poland. Though both the chocolate bars and the 00:05:47.290 --> 00:05:49.889 truck remained missing, no one was hurt in the 00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:53.290 theft. What the Swiss company lost in chocolate, 00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:57.449 it gained back in public relations. Nestle stated, 00:05:57.730 --> 00:06:00.129 we've always encouraged people to have a break 00:06:00.129 --> 00:06:02.930 with Kit Kat. but it seems these have taken the 00:06:02.930 --> 00:06:08.550 message too literally. In business news. Morning, 00:06:08.769 --> 00:06:11.589 Amazon quietly changed this popular feature, 00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:14.810 and now strangers can access your address.

However, using 00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:28.279 them just got dangerous. When you are celebrating 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.019 events such as getting married, having a baby, 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.120 or graduating from college, people often shower 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.639 you with gifts.

And now, 00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:57.009 back to the show. Let's talk science. A scientist 00:07:57.009 --> 00:07:59.430 may have just solved the mystery of the Great 00:07:59.430 --> 00:08:03.329 Pyramid. Ancient Egyptians, despite lacking modern 00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:06.550 technology, completed the megalith in a remarkably 00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:09.970 swift manner. The construction methods of the 00:08:09.970 --> 00:08:12.410 Great Pyramid have sparked extensive debate, 00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:15.889 with theories suggesting ramps were used, although 00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:19.370 no evidence of them has been found. One scientist 00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:22.370 proposed that if ramps existed, they would have 00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:24.810 been integrated into the pyramid and concealed. 00:08:25.430 --> 00:08:28.670 In algorithm testing, this idea revealed that 00:08:28.670 --> 00:08:31.350 a built -in ramp could have significantly reduced 00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:34.789 construction time by facilitating easier ascent 00:08:34.789 --> 00:08:37.649 and allowing multiple teams to position stone 00:08:37.649 --> 00:08:43.870 blocks simultaneously. And in entertainment news, 00:08:44.370 --> 00:08:48.669 J .J. Abrams is scaling down Bad Robot as he 00:08:48.669 --> 00:08:51.759 moves to New York. The production company is 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.700 leaving Los Angeles after nearly three decades 00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:57.100 of producing several hit films and television 00:08:57.100 --> 00:09:00.899 shows, including Mission Impossible movies, Lost, 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.980 and Westworld. Bad Robot is reorganizing and 00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:08.879 shutting down its Los Angeles office, following 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.440 the sale of its longtime Santa Monica headquarters 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.879 for $31 million in November and staff reductions 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.429 in recent years. Founded in 1999, the company 00:09:20.429 --> 00:09:23.450 has been responsible for numerous hits, starting 00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:27.809 with Alias in 2001 and adding Fringe, Person 00:09:27.809 --> 00:09:32.809 of Interest, and Westworld. Well, alrighty folks, 00:09:33.090 --> 00:09:36.950 it's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:39.710 our quote comes from the American author and 00:09:39.710 --> 00:09:43.870 motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie. And he said, 00:09:44.289 --> 00:09:47.870 Success is getting what you want. Happiness is 00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:52.100 wanting what you get. And that's a wrap for this 00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:55.519 morning.
