  enthusiasts! This podcast is brought to you by
• 2:17
  Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled
• 2:21
  on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas
• 2:24
  Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for culinary
• 2:28
  delights. Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict

• 2:36
  panini for lunch or just breeze on through to
• 2:39
  get your morning coffee. They are open every
• 2:42
  day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget
• 2:46
  to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
• 2:51
  news, in case you were worried, a Bigfoot sighting
• 2:55
  in Maine turned out to be simply a man in a costume.
• 2:59
  The Damariscotta Police Department received an
• 3:02
  unusually high number of calls about a Sasquatch,
• 3:05
  yet a Bigfoot, or possibly just a very large
• 3:08
  and hairy individual roaming around town on Tuesday.
• 3:13
  Following a lengthy, exhaustive, and completely
• 3:17
  serious investigation, The police determined
• 3:20
  that Bigfoot is not real. Officers concluded
• 3:24
  there was no evidence of criminal activity, no
• 3:27
  indication of anything nefarious afoot, and unfortunately
• 3:31
  no groundbreaking discovery of a previously unknown
• 3:34
  species. The Post humorously stated, case closed.
• 3:40
  Bigfoot remains at large, provided he puts his
• 3:43
  costume back on. Now on to sports. The New England
• 3:52
  Patriots under Bill Belichick sought every possible
• 3:56
  advantage, even with the Gillette Stadium video
• 3:59
  board. Former NFL analytics staffer Ryan Paganetti
• 4:04
  revealed a diabolically clever method that may
• 4:07
  have distracted opposing kickers. As a visiting
• 4:11
  team prepared for a field goal, the video board
• 4:13
  occasionally displayed a reverse camera angle.
• 4:16
  creating the illusion of four yellow uprights.
• 4:20
  Paganetti noted that this could cause some level
• 4:23
  of hesitation for kickers. Interestingly, during
• 4:27
  New England's own attempts, this extra distraction
• 4:30
  never appeared. Paganetti's research illustrates
• 4:33
  how every detail can be crucial in a game. In
• 4:38
  local sports, the Red Sox open a four -game set
• 4:42
  at Baltimore tonight. First pitch 7 -15, looking
• 4:46
  to shake off back -to -back losses to Seattle
• 4:48
  after falling 8 -3 in the finale. Roman Anthony
• 4:53
  went deep and finished 3 -for -5 in that one,
• 4:56
  but Patrick Sandoval took the loss, dropping
• 4:59
  to 1 -4. Boston is 75 -65 now, and it's not just
• 5:05
  the lineup trending up. Garrett Crochet is throwing
• 5:09
  off a mound again, hitting 89 -90. and could
• 5:12
  pitch out of the bullpen as soon as this weekend
• 5:15
  as Boston chases a second straight wild card.
• 5:19
  Sadon Raffaella left Wednesday with quad tightness,
• 5:22
  but should be back in center against the Orioles.
• 5:27
  Jake Fennett gets the ball tonight opposite Brandon
• 5:29
  Young, with catcher Wilson Contreras still out.
• 5:34
  Meanwhile, the Patriots are dealing with some
• 5:36
  late summer roster turn six days from kickoff
• 5:39
  against Seattle. Running back Travion Henderson
• 5:43
  missed practice with a sprained ankle, worth
• 5:46
  watching closely given his role in the backfield.
• 5:49
  New England also shuffled the roster, claiming
• 5:52
  a tight end and linebacker off waivers while
• 5:55
  placing several players on injured reserve. On
• 5:59
  the ice, the Bruins will open camp without Charlie
• 6:02
  McEvoy, suspended six games for a playoff slash
• 6:05
  on Buffalo's Zach Benson. In top news, the National
• 6:12
  Basketball Association has suspended Los Angeles
• 6:16
  Clippers owner Steve Balmer for one year and
• 6:19
  fined the team $30 million. The Clippers were
• 6:23
  also ordered to forfeit five first -round draft
• 6:25
  picks for violating salary cap circumvention
• 6:28
  rules involving Kawhi Leonard, who received a
• 6:31
  penalty of $700 ,000. President of Basketball
• 6:36
  Operations Lawrence Frank was banned for six
• 6:39
  months, While tea president of business operations,
• 6:42
  Gillian Zucker was suspended for one year. The
• 6:46
  Clippers, maintaining their innocence, stated
• 6:48
  they will vigorously challenge the findings through
• 6:51
  arbitration. Kauai Leonard expressed regret for
• 6:55
  the situation, accepting responsibility for lapses
• 6:58
  by his inner circle. In business news, prediction
• 7:04
  market traders think job creation rebounded in
• 7:07
  August. After a disappointing July payrolls report,
• 7:11
  traders believe August will show a rebound in
• 7:13
  hiring, though potentially not as strong as economists
• 7:17
  expect. Speculators on Kalshi see 50 -50 odds
• 7:22
  that more than 50 ,000 jobs were created last
• 7:25
  month. This reflects a slightly lower outlook
• 7:28
  than the Dow Jones consensus estimate of 53 ,000
• 7:32
  jobs created in August. Prediction market traders
• 7:35
  on Polymarket give a 48 % likelihood that the
• 7:39
  economy created more than 50 ,000 jobs in August.

• 8:52
  back to the show. Let's talk tech. Uber has beaten
• 8:57
  Waymo in launching the first commercial robotaxi
• 9:00
  service in London. using autonomous driving technology
• 9:04
  developed by Wave, a United Kingdom -based startup.
• 9:09
  Initially, these vehicles will have human safety
• 9:11
  drivers behind the wheel. This launch marks a
• 9:14
  significant milestone for Uber, allowing it to
• 9:17
  set the standard for the RoboTaxi experience
• 9:20
  for thousands of Londoners. The RoboTaxis will
• 9:24
  operate without a geofence, as Wave's AV2 .0
• 9:27
  system is designed to adapt to new environments.
• 9:31
  Wave's autonomous driving system can learn on
• 9:34
  the go, much like a human driver, and is hardware
• 9:38
  agnostic. Uber plans to invest upwards of $10
• 9:41
  billion in its robo -taxi business over time.
• 9:48
  And in entertainment news, Apple TV has several
• 9:52
  unforgettable feel -good comedies, from Ted Lasso
• 9:56
  to Shrinking. But before either of those shows
• 9:58
  even aired, the streamer pulled off a miracle
• 10:01
  with Trying, which evolved into a series about
• 10:04
  an established family parenting two teens. After
• 10:08
  a huge time jump before Season 4, the series
• 10:11
  became stronger than ever, exploring family bonds
• 10:15
  set up in previous seasons. Now that Season 5
• 10:19
  has concluded this chapter of the characters'
• 10:21
  lives, it is time for Trying to reinvent itself
• 10:24
  yet again. Although trying has not been officially
• 10:28
  renewed, it has a lot of potential to mine. Well,
• 10:33
  all righty folks, it's time for the quote of
• 10:36
  the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:40
  American astronaut and physicist, Sally Ride.
• 10:44
  And she said, science is fun. Science is curiosity.
• 10:49
  We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process
• 10:53
  of investigating. It's posing questions and coming
• 10:57
  up with a method. It's delving in. And that's
• 11:01
  a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
