• 0:01
  Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
• 0:05
  Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
• 0:09
  and it's Tuesday, October 13th. You'll be interested
• 0:13
  to know. 234 years ago today, in 1792, President
• 0:19
  George Washington ceremonially laid the cornerstone
• 0:22
  for the presidential residence in a public masonic
• 0:25
  rite that symbolized the official start of construction
• 0:29
  for the building that would later be known as
• 0:31
  the White House. That ceremonial act marked a
• 0:35
  defining step toward establishing the American
• 0:37
  National Executive Mansion. So now you know.
• 0:43
  And now, it's time for the weather report. This
• 0:49
  morning, there's a chance of rain showers, and
• 0:52
  it feels like 56 degrees with 9 miles per hour
• 0:56
  wind. The sunset will take place at 6 .03, and
• 1:00
  it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .55. It looks
• 1:04
  like grin for a cloudy day with a chance of rain
• 1:07
  showers and patchy fog reaching a high near 63
• 1:11
  at a moderate southeast wind around 9 miles per
• 1:15
  hour. If you're inland, it will hit a high of
• 1:18
  63 tonight. Expect likely rain showers and patchy
• 1:23
  fog before 8 p .m., then a chance of thunderstorms
• 1:27
  and a low around 59 with light southwest winds
• 1:31
  around 8 miles per hour. The nearshore buoy at
• 1:35
  Cape Cod Bay reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.
• 1:41
  Looking ahead in the weather, Wednesday will
• 1:44
  be mostly sunny with a high near 74 and a west
• 1:48
  wind around 10 miles per hour. A cooler Thursday
• 1:52
  brings sunshine with highs near 61, then a slight
• 1:55
  chance of showers Thursday night, followed by
• 1:58
  rainy and gusty conditions Friday with highs
• 2:00
  near 62. and south winds gusting as high as 24
• 2:04
  miles per hour. Bonjour, food enthusiasts! This
• 2:09
  podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe
• 2:12
  and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino
• 2:16
  Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard,
• 2:19
  this cafe is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge
• 2:24
  in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten
• 2:27
  -free crepes. You can grab a panini for lunch,
• 2:31
  or just breeze on through to get your morning
• 2:33
  coffee. They are open every day from 8 to 5.
• 2:38
  So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.
• 2:41
  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, chief
• 2:47
  executive Brian Chesky says that Airbnb is benefiting
• 2:51
  from chatbots. AI agents like Muse can already
• 2:55
  find you the cheapest hotel room in Paris. However,
• 2:59
  they cannot locate a cheaper version of that
• 3:02
  Catskills cabin you have been eyeing because
• 3:04
  it might only be available on Airbnb. Investors
• 3:08
  should pay attention to that distinction. When
• 3:11
  MetaPlatforms launched its muse agent last month,
• 3:15
  travel stocks including Booking Holdings, Expedia,
• 3:18
  and Airbnb all fell sharply. Now on to sports.
• 3:29
  Last night on Monday Night Football, The Buffalo
• 3:32
  Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams 37 -34. Neither
• 3:37
  defense could string together stops, and one
• 3:40
  drive either way would have changed it. Buffalo
• 3:43
  moves to 4 -1. Los Angeles falls to 2 -3. In
• 3:49
  the LCS, Cleveland beat Tampa Bay 7 -3 in Game
• 3:54
  1 last night. Home runs from Chase DeLotter and
• 3:58
  Patrick Bailey tied it, and Nathaniel Lowe's
• 4:01
  two run single in the eighth broke it open. The
• 4:05
  Guardians lead one game to none. Last night in
• 4:09
  the NLCS, Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 7 -4. William
• 4:15
  Contreras tied it with a fifth inning homer and
• 4:18
  singled home the go -ahead run an inning later.
• 4:22
  The Brewers lead two games to none. Tonight,
• 4:26
  NLCS Game 2 starts at 8 o 'clock Eastern. Cleveland
• 4:31
  can go up 2. or Tampa Bay, can't even it. In
• 4:36
  local sports, the Bruins wrap up their Western
• 4:39
  swing tonight in San Jose against the Sharks.
• 4:43
  Puck drop at Sidey Key Center is 11 p .m., so
• 4:47
  it's a late one. San Jose has a new captain in
• 4:52
  Macklin Celebrini, just 20 years old, one of
• 4:55
  the youngest captains in NHL history, and he
• 4:58
  already owns the franchise record for points
• 5:01
  in a season. The start for Boston has been up
• 5:04
  and down, a 3 -0 shutout of the Rangers and an
• 5:09
  overtime win over Winnipeg, but ugly losses to
• 5:12
  Minnesota and Ottawa. Goaltending and the penalty
• 5:16
  kill will decide it. The blue line has injury
• 5:20
  questions, and no starting goalie was announced
• 5:23
  as of this writing. This is the only time the
• 5:26
  two meet this regular season. Meanwhile, the
• 5:30
  Red Sox may be moving on from Tristan Casas.
• 5:34
  Peter Abraham of The Globe predicts a non -tender
• 5:37
  this offseason. The issue is health, not cost.
• 5:43
  MLB Trade Rumors projects him at just $1 .7 million,
• 5:47
  but he has not played a big league game since
• 5:50
  tearing his patellar tendon May 2nd of last year.
• 5:55
  A 40 -man spot may be worth more right now. In
• 6:00
  top news, Two Americans have won the Nobel Memorial
• 6:04
  Prize in Economic Sciences for their work on
• 6:07
  how to smooth boom and bus cycles to limit inflation
• 6:11
  and unemployment. Robert Hall of Stanford University
• 6:14
  and Michael Woodford of Columbia University were
• 6:17
  honored for their focus on decision -making by
• 6:20
  households and businesses regarding purchases
• 6:23
  and pricing. This work laid the foundation for
• 6:26
  the new Keynesian approach to economics. John
• 6:30
  Hassler, the chairman of the prize committee,
• 6:32
  emphasized the importance of reducing economic
• 6:35
  swings to prevent high unemployment and inflation.
• 6:39
  Woodford noted that clear communication from
• 6:41
  policymakers enhances the effectiveness of stabilization
• 6:45
  tools. In business news, blockchain .com, a digital
• 6:51
  asset platform, wants to get in on the prediction
• 6:54
  market boom in the U .S. The company has filed
• 6:58
  for two licenses with the Commodity Futures Trading
• 7:01
  Commission to feature event contracts and cryptocurrency
• 7:04
  derivatives for retail and institutional customers
• 7:07
  in the U .S. Blockchain .com told CNBC. Blockchain
• 7:13
  .com is asking the CFTC to designate a futures
• 7:17
  exchange by receiving a designated contract market
• 7:21
  license and to be registered as a futures commission
• 7:24
  merchant. Peter Smith, CEO and co -founder of
• 7:28
  blockchain .com, stated users should be able
• 7:32
  to manage their digital assets easily without
• 7:35
  jumping between different apps. The company earlier
• 7:38
  began offering prediction markets through a partnership
• 7:41
  with Polymarket, as well as perpetual futures
• 7:44
  powered by Hyperliquid. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
• 7:49
  is down 2 % to $82 ,000. Ethereum is down 3 .5
• 7:55
  % to about $2 ,000. And XRP is down 4 % to $1
• 8:02
  .35. Moving on to a more local vibe. In our community
• 8:09
  spotlight on health and wellness, we are working
• 8:12
  with a national Pilates studio to bring you some
• 8:15
  free classes, so listen up. Check out Club Pilates
• 8:19
  with several locations in the Boston area. Pilates
• 8:23
  presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating
• 8:26
  strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental
• 8:30
  well -being. Scientific research affirms its
• 8:33
  benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates
• 8:37
  for a free class. With locations in Canton, Wellesley,
• 8:42
  Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure
• 8:45
  to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now
• 8:50
  back to the show. Let's talk science. Using the
• 8:55
  NASA X -ray spacecraft Swift combined with radio
• 8:58
  observations, astronomers have observed a supermassive
• 9:02
  black hole burping radio jets 300 days after
• 9:06
  a heavy cosmic meal. This black hole, located
• 9:09
  at the center of the galaxy, NGC 1275, has a
• 9:14
  mass between 100 million times and 1 billion
• 9:17
  times the mass of the Sun. Researchers found
• 9:21
  tentative evidence of a 300 -day delay between
• 9:24
  X -ray flaring and radio wave emission. The team's
• 9:28
  findings reveal how black holes influence star
• 9:31
  formation in their host galaxies and have been
• 9:34
  accepted for publication in the Astrophysical
• 9:36
  Journal Letters. The Muppets turned 50 this year,
• 9:45
  but they nearly did not get made at all. It was
• 9:48
  a real study in perseverance. Since their series
• 9:52
  debut in 1976, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and
• 9:56
  the rest of the Muppets have attained an iconic
• 9:59
  status in pop culture. They picked up four Emmy
• 10:02
  Awards last month for Disney Plus's The Muppet
• 10:06
  Show special featuring Sabrina Carpenter. Henson's
• 10:10
  biographer, Brian J. Jones, remarked, it was
• 10:13
  such a hard road to get The Muppet Show made.
• 10:17
  Lisa Henson attributes their longevity to the
• 10:20
  depth of their personalities. As she says, they
• 10:23
  are all multi -dimensional, fallible, funny characters.
• 10:28
  Well, all righty, folks, it's time for the quote
• 10:31
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:35
  American writer and philosopher, Albert Hubbard.
• 10:39
  And he said, the greatest mistake you can make
• 10:42
  in life is to be continually fearing you will
• 10:45
  make one. And that's a wrap for this morning.
• 10:50
  You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and
• 10:53
  TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with
• 10:57
  local news and the weather reports. Have an amazing
• 11:01
  day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
• 11:03
  with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
