  237 years ago, today, in 1787, 39 delegates of the Constitutional Convention signed the

  United States Constitution, marking a pivotal moment in American history.
• 0:31
  This foundational document established the framework for the federal government, delineated
• 0:35
  the separation of powers, and enshrined individual liberties, profoundly shaping the nation's
• 0:41
  political and legal systems.
• 0:45
  So now you know.

  In local news, the Boston Athletic Association has announced tighter qualifying standards
• 2:33
  for the Boston Marathon, increasing requirements by 5 minutes for all runners under 60.
• 2:40
  Starting in 2026, this decision follows a record-breaking 36,406 applications for the
• 2:48
  2025 race, surpassing last year's record of 33,058.
• 2:55
  The cutoff time for the 2025 race remains to be determined, with notifications of acceptance
• 3:01
  expected by early October.
• 3:04
  The 2025 Boston Marathon is scheduled for April 21.
• 3:14
  Now on to sports.
• 3:16
  Last night on Monday Night Football, the Falcons edged out the Eagles 22-21 in a nail-biter
• 3:23
  at Lincoln Financial Field.
• 3:26
  Yeloku kicked three field goals, but it was Kirk Cousins' seven-yard touchdown pass to
• 3:32
  Drake London in the fourth quarter that secured the lead.
• 3:36
  Sequen Barkley's two-point conversion for the Eagles briefly gave them an advantage,
• 3:42
  but a missed opportunity from Jalen Hertz sealed their fate.
• 3:46
  The Falcons outgained the Eagles with 385 total yards to 365, despite holding the ball for
• 3:55
  nearly 11 minutes less.
• 3:58
  Both teams now stand at 1-1 on the season as they look ahead to next week.
• 4:04
  In local sports, last night the Sox were off, and tonight they'll look to bounce back against
• 4:11
  the Rays in Tampa Bay with Nick Pivetta on the mound, who holds a 5-10 record and 4.24
• 4:19
  earned run average.
• 4:21
  The race will counter with Shane Bass, who is 2-3 with a 3.28 ERA.
• 4:29
  The Sox hold a slight advantage in ESPN's matchup predictor, with a 51.4% chance to
• 4:36
  win.
• 4:37
  However, Boston is four games back in the wild card race, sitting at 75-75, while Tampa
• 4:44
  Trail's closely behind.
• 4:48
  In top news, TikTok faced a crucial court hearing today, as its future in the United
• 4:54
  States hangs in the balance.
• 4:57
  Federal judges questioned both the Justice Department and TikTok about a band set to
• 5:01
  take effect on January 19.
• 5:05
  TikTok argues that shutting down the app would violate the First Amendment rights of its
• 5:09
  170 million American users.
• 5:14
  The judges expressed skepticism about TikTok's claim that free expression outweighs national
• 5:19
  security concerns, given its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China.
• 5:25
  The outcome of this high-stakes legal battle could redefine the balance between free speech
• 5:31
  and national security.
• 5:35
  In business news, on Monday, Microsoft announced its board's approval of a new share buyback
• 5:41
  program worth up to $60 billion.
• 5:45
  The tech giant also declared a quarterly dividend of 83 cents per share, marking a 10% increase
• 5:52
  from the previous quarter.
• 5:54
  Microsoft plans to hold its annual shareholders meeting on December 10.
• 5:59
  The company reported a significant rise in capital spending largely due to artificial
• 6:05
  intelligence-related expenses, despite a slowdown in growth for its Azure cloud business.
• 6:12
  Shares of Microsoft saw a slight increase in aftermarket trading, reflecting a 15% rise
• 6:18
  this year.
• 6:20
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $58,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and

• 6:43

• 7:19
  And now back to the show.
• 7:22
  Let's talk science.
• 7:25
  Resistance starch is gaining recognition for its numerous health benefits, including reshaping
• 7:29
  the gut microbiome and preventing certain diseases.
• 7:34
  Found in foods like green bananas, raw potatoes, and legumes, resistance starch is not digested
• 7:40
  in the small intestine, but instead ferments in the large intestine, feeding beneficial
• 7:46
  bacteria.
• 7:47
  A study published in Nature Metabolism highlighted that consuming resistant starch can aid weight
• 7:53
  loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance blood sugar control.
• 7:59
  Despite its advantages, most adults in the United States consume significantly less than
• 8:04
  the recommended 15 grams per day, primarily due to a diet high in processed foods.
• 8:11
  And in entertainment news.
• 8:16

  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:05

• 9:09
  King.
• 9:10
  And he said,
• 9:12
  The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
• 9:18
