  news, Middleborough's beloved blizzards will
• 2:59
  keep swirling as owner George Panini sold the
• 3:02
  town's Dairy Queen for $4 .2 million to his two
• 3:06
  nieces. This sale is one of the highest priced
• 3:09
  ever achieved for a Dairy Queen asset, according
• 3:12
  to brokers Marcus and Millicap. Ranking as the
• 3:16
  second highest grossing, treat -only Dairy Queen
• 3:19
  franchise in the United States, this location
• 3:22
  is the most visited Dairy Queen in Massachusetts.
• 3:25
  The store first opened in 1952 and has been a
• 3:29
  community staple ever since. New owners Nicole
• 3:32
  Panini -Ferrara and Cara Panini -Kendrickan are
• 3:36
  excited to protect the traditions that they've
• 3:39
  built in the community. Now on to sports. Victor
• 3:48
  Wimbanyama scored 27 points with 17 rebounds,
• 3:52
  5 assists, and 3 block shots, leading the San
• 3:56
  Antonio Spurs to a 126 -97 home win over the
• 4:01
  Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of their Western
• 4:04
  Conference semifinals series on Tuesday. Wimbanyama,
• 4:08
  who avoided a suspension after elbowing Nas Reed
• 4:11
  and being ejected from Game 4, shot 9 of 16 to
• 4:16
  help San Antonio achieve 53 % shooting from the
• 4:19
  field. Despite trailing by as many as 30 points,
• 4:23
  Minnesota tied the game at 61 after a 14 -2 run
• 4:28
  to start the third quarter. Julius Randle struggled
• 4:31
  again, finishing with 17 points, but the Timberwolves
• 4:35
  need more from him to keep their season alive.
• 4:39
  In local sports. The Red Sox need to bounce back
• 4:43
  tonight against Philadelphia at Fenway. They
• 4:47
  dropped game one 2 -1 yesterday, and Sonny Gray
• 4:50
  takes the mound trying to even the series against
• 4:53
  Andrew Painter. Boston is struggling lately,
• 4:57
  sitting at 17 -24 with losses in their last two
• 5:01
  games. Bray has been a bright spot in the rotation,
• 5:05
  and the Sox have to tighten up defensively and
• 5:08
  capitalize on opportunities. This is must -win
• 5:12
  mentality territory. First pitch is at 645. Meanwhile,
• 5:18
  the Bruins are dealing with a significant loss.
• 5:22
  Charlie McAvoy, the team's top defenseman, got
• 5:26
  hit with a six -game suspension for slashing
• 5:29
  Buffalo's Sac Benson during the season ender
• 5:32
  on May 1st. McAvoy will miss the first few weeks
• 5:37
  of next season. It is the third suspension of
• 5:40
  his career and leaves Boston without one of their
• 5:43
  anchors on the blue line. On the basketball side,
• 5:47
  the Celtics' offseason is heating up. The Bucs
• 5:50
  have opened trade talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo,
• 5:53
  who told Milwaukee months ago he wants out. Boston
• 5:58
  has the assets to make a run at a major trade,
• 6:01
  six first -rounders over the next seven years,
• 6:04
  and multiple second -round picks give them real
• 6:07
  ammunition. Finally, the Patriots' rebuild continues
• 6:11
  taking shape with signings of rookies Xavier
• 6:14
  Holmes and Peter Manuma complementing their draft
• 6:17
  class. In top news, prices for these grocery
• 6:23
  items have spiked highest since the war began.
• 6:27
  The effects of the conflict in Iran are starting
• 6:30
  to show up in supermarkets. Grocery prices climbed
• 6:34
  at their fastest rate in nearly four years. putting
• 6:37
  increased pressure on Americans' wallets at a
• 6:40
  time when many are already feeling pessimistic
• 6:43
  about the economy. Prices for groceries spiked
• 6:46
  in April, according to data released by the Bureau
• 6:49
  of Labor Statistics, while broader inflation
• 6:52
  reached its highest level in nearly three years.
• 6:56
  Costs spiked especially for key staples, including
• 7:00
  fresh produce and beef. Tomato prices soared
• 7:03
  15 % in April compared with a month ago. and
• 7:07
  are up nearly 40 % in the last year. In business
• 7:12
  news, questions had swirled around whether GameStop
• 7:16
  could afford to buy eBay and compete with Amazon.
• 7:20
  California online marketplace eBay said Tuesday
• 7:23
  its board rejected GameStop's unsolicited $56
• 7:27
  billion takeover offer. The proposal was neither
• 7:31
  credible nor attractive, eBay's board stated.
• 7:35
  The San Jose company rejected the bid after considering
• 7:39
  various factors related to growth and profitability.
• 7:43
  GameStop's bold e -commerce ambitions to take
• 7:46
  on bigger rivals like Amazon have been set back
• 7:49
  by this rejection. Cohen noted that eBay also
• 7:52
  focuses on selling collectibles, like trading
• 7:55
  cards. GameStop has a market cap of $10 billion,
• 8:00
  significantly lower than eBay's $48 billion market
• 8:04
  cap. Earlier this month, GameStop offered to
• 8:08
  acquire eBay for $125 per share in cash and stock.
• 8:13
  Cohen mentioned the offer included half cash
• 8:16
  and half stock. GameStop stock fell more than
• 8:20
  3 % to roughly $22 per share on Tuesday. In crypto
• 8:25
  movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about $81 ,000.
• 8:32
  Ethereum is down 1%. to about $2 ,000. And XRP
• 8:37
  is down 1 .5 % to $1 .44. Moving on to a more
• 8:44
  local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

• 9:28
  now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Small
• 9:33
  business owner Tyler Cadwell takes his Mac Mini
• 9:36
  on the road. In the passenger seat of Tyler Cadwell's
• 9:40
  Ford Bronco sits a Mac Mini connected to a portable
• 9:43
  battery and Starlink internet satellite dish,
• 9:46
  along with a touchscreen monitor mounted to the
• 9:49
  dash. Cadwell, founder of Everything Etched,
• 9:52
  an Arizona -based small business selling custom
• 9:55
  -engraved glassware, enjoys disappearing into
• 9:58
  the state's sandstone canyons to brainstorm.
• 10:02
  Now the 39 -year -old entrepreneur travels with
• 10:05
  his artificial intelligence assistant named Edgy.
• 10:08
  Edgy automates coding requests and manages marketing
• 10:12
  tasks, responding to supply chain issues and
• 10:15
  more. Cadwell describes it as his first AI employee.
• 10:22
  And in entertainment news, the Strikeforce 5
• 10:26
  is letting Steph Colbert shine solo on May 21st.
• 10:31
  Both the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and
• 10:34
  Jimmy Kimmel Live will go dark that evening,
• 10:36
  in solidarity with the departing host. We still
• 10:40
  do not know exactly what Colbert has planned
• 10:43
  for his final show. His dream guest, Pope Leo
• 10:47
  XIV, may still be out of reach. According to
• 10:50
  Kimmel, more people are watching late -night
• 10:53
  television now than when Johnny Carson was on.
• 10:56
  And by Kimmel's estimation, his show getting
• 10:59
  pulled briefly last year cost Disney billions
• 11:02
  of dollars. It is very possible that no employee
• 11:06
  in the history of any company has cost their
• 11:08
  employer more than hiring him. Well, alrighty
• 11:12
  folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
• 11:16
  today, our quote comes from the American poet
• 11:19
  and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou. And
• 11:23
  she said, You may not control all the events
• 11:26
  that happen to you, but you can decide not to
• 11:29
  be reduced by them. And that's a wrap for this
• 11:33
