  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 Wednesday, July 8th. You'll be interested
• 0:13
  to know. 79 years ago, today, in 1947, local
• 0:19
  investigators collected scattered metallic fragments
• 0:22
  on a New Mexico ranch and carried out a careful
• 0:25
  investigation that involved military and scientific
• 0:29
  observers. The inquiry accelerated public and
• 0:33
  professional interest in studying unidentified
• 0:36
  aerial phenomena, advanced debris analysis practices,
• 0:40
  and framed long -lasting conversations about
• 0:43
  transparency and scientific inquiry. So now you
• 0:47
  know. And now, it's time for the weather report.
• 0:54
  This morning, it's cloudy and it feels like 65
• 0:58
  degrees, with 7 mile per hour wind. The sunset
• 1:02
  will take place at 820, and it will rise again
• 1:05
  tomorrow at 516. It looks like we're in for some
• 1:09
  partly sunny skies today, with a high near 81
• 1:12
  and a light northeast breeze around 7 miles per
• 1:16
  hour. If you're inland, it will hit a high of
• 1:19
  81. Tonight, expect mostly clear conditions with
• 1:24
  a low around 66 and a light south wind around
• 1:28
  7 miles per hour. The nearshore gooey at Cape
• 1:32
  Cod Bay reads 58 degrees for the water temperature.
• 1:38
  Looking ahead in the weather. Thursday will be
• 1:42
  mostly sunny and hot with highs near 93 and a
• 1:45
  heat index up to 99 with a southwest wind of
• 1:49
  6 to 10 miles per hour. A chance of afternoon

  This podcast is brought to you by Versailles
• 2:13

• 2:43
  Sunny mornings send you. The town of Foxborough
• 2:49
  has filed a counterclaim against Kraft Sports
• 2:51
  and Entertainment, along with the New England
• 2:54
  Patriots, in response to a lawsuit regarding
• 2:56
  new financial obligations tied to Gillette Stadium's
• 3:00
  entertainment license. Foxborough's 61 -page
• 3:04
  counterclaim argues that the companies are contractually
• 3:07
  bound to cover public safety costs for stadium
• 3:10
  events, which the town believes should not be
• 3:13
  passed on to local taxpayers. The lawsuit filed
• 3:17
  on June 15th accuses Foxboro of unlawfully extracting
• 3:21
  funds through licensing fees, while the town
• 3:23
  contends these fees are actually reimbursements
• 3:26
  required under their lease agreement. Foxboro
• 3:29
  maintains that it acted appropriately and is
• 3:32
  committed to public safety while also seeking
• 3:35
  to recover costs related to this legal matter.
• 3:43
  Now on to sports. People love to say you can't
• 3:48
  predict baseball, and here's another chapter
• 3:50
  in that story. Tyler Tolbert, a major league
• 3:53
  player, has made history by becoming the first
• 3:56
  in the expansion era to get a hit in 12 consecutive
• 4:00
  played appearances, tying the overall major league
• 4:03
  baseball record. On Tuesday evening in New York,
• 4:07
  Tolbert hit a two -run home run in the second
• 4:10
  inning, followed by several singles, culminating
• 4:13
  in his record -tying hit. He has now raised his
• 4:16
  batting average from 200 to 396 and has recorded
• 4:21
  back -to -back five -hit games, joining an exclusive
• 4:24
  group of players in local sports. The Red Sox
• 4:29
  stayed hot in Chicago last night, dismantling
• 4:32
  the White Sox 8 -1. Peyton Tall was dominant
• 4:37
  on the mound, six innings of two -hit ball with
• 4:40
  six strikeouts. The bats were relentless, too.
• 4:43
  Sadon Raffaella and Andrew Monasterio both went
• 4:48
  yard, while Wilson Contreras and Jaron Duran
• 4:51
  drove in runs. Boston is now 1 -4 straight, and
• 4:56
  they're back at rate fields tonight for game
• 4:58
  two. Jake Fennett takes the mound against Davis
• 5:02
  Martin with first pitch at 740. The Red Sox are
• 5:07
  riding an 8 of 10 winning streak, and they've
• 5:09
  scored 17 runs over their last two series. If
• 5:13
  they keep that offensive pace going, they'll
• 5:15
  be in position to sweep tomorrow at 2 -10. Meanwhile,
• 5:20
  the Bruins made a pair of moves to shape the
• 5:22
  offseason. They signed goaltender Simon Zajacek
• 5:26
  to a one -year extension, bolstering depth between
• 5:30
  the pipes. But the bigger news came last week
• 5:33
  when Boston acquired top -six right -wing J .J.
• 5:37
  Peterka from Utah. The 24 -year -old scored 25
• 5:42
  goals last season and is signed through next
• 5:44
  year at $7 .7 million. It's a significant investment
• 5:49
  in the forward group as the B's look to bounce
• 5:51
  back from their first round exit to Buffalo.
• 5:56
  In top news, Lionel Messi leads Argentina to
• 6:00
  a thrilling 3 -2 comeback victory over Egypt,
• 6:04
  securing a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.
• 6:07
  Trailing 2 -0, with 11 minutes remaining, Argentina
• 6:11
  rallied to win, as Enzo Fernandez cored the decisive
• 6:15
  goal in stoppage time. Argentina will face Switzerland
• 6:19
  in the next round on Saturday in Kansas City,
• 6:23
  Missouri. Messi scored his eighth goal of the
• 6:25
  tournament, extending his World Cup total to
• 6:28
  21 goals. Egypt's coach, Hossam Hassan, expressed
• 6:33
  disbelief at the outcome. feeling his team deserved
• 6:37
  better. This match adds to Argentina's legacy
• 6:41
  of dramatic World Cup moments. In business news,
• 6:47
  Best Buy and Apple have flagged a price shock
• 6:49
  for shoppers. Apple's Tim Cook raised concerns
• 6:53
  about unavoidable price increases in June, stating,
• 6:57
  we're doing everything we can to mitigate the
• 7:00
  huge increases being passed on to us. The global
• 7:03
  shortage of memory chips is to blame, affecting
• 7:06
  nearly every computing device sold today. Cook
• 7:10
  described the situation as the 100 -year flood,
• 7:13
  indicating higher prices for consumers across
• 7:16
  the board. Best Buy's outgoing CEO, Cory Berry,
• 7:21
  noted that typical purchasing trends are not
• 7:23
  occurring. Despite upcoming price increases,
• 7:27
  Berry reported, We are not seeing any indicators
• 7:30
  that would say the customer is pulling forward
• 7:32
  purchases. Consumers are showing caution in spending,
• 7:36
  with reports indicating rising pessimism about
• 7:39
  the economy. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down
• 7:44
  1 % to about $63 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to
• 7:50
  about $1 ,700. And XRP is down 3 % to $1 .09.
• 7:58

• 8:43
  back to the show. Let's talk tech. Meta has just
• 8:49
  launched a new artificial intelligence generator,
• 8:52
  Muse Image, and users are already expressing
• 8:55
  concerns over the use of their photos. Unveiled
• 8:59
  on Tuesday, MIA's image is available for free
• 9:01
  through the Meta Artificial Intelligence app,
• 9:04
  as well as on Instagram Stories and WhatsApp.
• 9:08
  Controversially, this feature allows users to
• 9:10
  manipulate images of others, provided their profiles
• 9:14
  are public. One user remarked, pulling real users
• 9:18
  into generated photos without explicit consent
• 9:21
  is a privacy landmine waiting to detonate. Despite
• 9:25
  concerns, MetaClaims users have control and can
• 9:29
  disable this feature. Muse also offers various
• 9:32
  applications, including custom ads and prompt
• 9:36
  -based image editing. And in entertainment news,
• 9:43
  Robert Pattinson has learned you either die in
• 9:45
  Edward or you live long enough to see yourself
• 9:48
  become the Jacob. While discussing his character
• 9:52
  Antonis in The Odyssey, The actor compared the
• 9:55
  role in the Christopher Nolan helmed movie to
• 9:57
  Taylor Lautner's Jacob in the Twilight movie
• 10:00
  franchise. He stated, I think they will be rooting
• 10:03
  for him. I keep comparing it. It's kind of like
• 10:06
  Jacob in Twilight. Pattinson added, what the
• 10:10
  Odyssey is about. Penelope just can't make her
• 10:14
  mind up between the two guys. And I'm just trying
• 10:17
  to help her make a decision. The film follows
• 10:20
  Odysseus through incredible trials on his journey
• 10:23
  home to wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Well,
• 10:27
  all righty, folks. It's time for the quote of
• 10:30
  the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:34
  American science fiction author Philip K. Dick.
• 10:38
  And he said, reality is that which, when you
• 10:42
  stop believing in it, doesn't go away. And that's
• 10:46
  a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
• 10:49
  Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
• 10:53
  aerial videos with local news and the weather
• 10:57
  reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends.
• 11:01
  We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of
