• 2:54
  made their first significant move of the offseason
• 2:56
  by trading for Sunny Gray. But now the focus
• 2:59
  shifts to acquiring an impact bat. Red Sox chief
• 3:04
  baseball officer, Craig Breslow, is prioritizing
• 3:07
  a deal for Alex Bregman, or possibly Pete Alonso.
• 3:11
  Yet attention should also be given to Arizona
• 3:14
  Diamond Vax second baseman Ketel Marte, who is
• 3:17
  reported to be available. Marte, who turned 32
• 3:21
  in October, had an impressive all -star season

  in 2025, with a batting average of 283, with
• 3:29
  28 home runs. His affordable contract, totaling

  $103 .5 million over six years, makes him an
• 3:38
  attractive target for Boston. which has the prospect
• 3:42
  capital to make a trade happen. Now onto sports.
• 3:52

• 3:54
  than just a break from holiday feasts. Today
• 3:58

  as teams compete for playoff positions. The first

• 4:08
  of seven wins. three losses and one tie, facing
• 4:11
  the Detroit Lions, who have seven wins and four

  losses. The Packers won their earlier encounter,
• 4:19
  limiting the Lions to only 13 points. The Kansas
• 4:23
  City Chiefs, with six wins and five losses, will
• 4:26
  take on the Dallas Cowboys, who have five wins,

  five losses and one tie. Both teams are in desperate
• 4:34
  need of victories to stay in playoff contention.

  Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals, with a record
• 4:41
  of three wins and eight losses, face off against
• 4:44
  the Baltimore Ravens, who have six wins and five

• 4:51
  while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow returns
• 4:53

• 4:57
  eight wins and three losses, will challenge the

  Philadelphia Eagles, also with eight wins and

  three losses. as both teams seek to prove their
• 5:07
  legitimacy. In local sports, Cade Cunningham
• 5:12
  scored 42 points, but missed a potential game
• 5:16
  -tying free throw in the closing seconds, as
• 5:18
  the Pistons fell to the Celtics 117 -114, ending
• 5:24
  their 13 -game winning streak. Jalen Brown recorded
• 5:29
  33 points and 10 rebounds, while Derek White
• 5:32
  contributed 27 points, including 11 in the final
• 5:37
  four and a half minutes. Piston's coach J .B.
• 5:40
  Bipperstaff acknowledged the team's improvement,
• 5:43
  stating, we understand it's one game, but emphasize
• 5:47
  the need for continued growth. Peyton Pritchard
• 5:51
  added 16 points, helping the Celtics win for
• 5:54
  the fifth time in six games. In top news, your
• 6:00
  body has a natural way of getting high. and it
• 6:03
  is not endorphins. The endocannabinoid system
• 6:07
  is found throughout the brain and body, playing
• 6:09
  a key role in everything from memory and learning,
• 6:13
  to sleep and social behavior. The endocannabinoid
• 6:17
  system is present in all human beings as well
• 6:21
  as in other mammals. It is a natural communication
• 6:25
  system that helps maintain balance. Discovered
• 6:29
  in 1990, the system responds to various chemicals,
• 6:32
  including tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol.
• 6:37
  Endocannabinoids are natural neurotransmitters
• 6:40
  that activate the same receptors as tetrahydrocannabinol,
• 6:44
  but they do not produce a high. This system helps
• 6:48
  regulate vital bodily functions such as mood,
• 6:51
  appetite, and immune response. In business news,
• 6:58
  many major stores, including Costco, Walmart
• 7:01
  and Target will be closed on Thanksgiving this
• 7:05
  year. However, some major chains will be open
• 7:08
  under modified hours. For example, FastPro shops
• 7:13
  will open from 9am to 6pm, while Dollar Tree
• 7:17
  will operate from 8am to 9pm. In contrast, Aldi,
• 7:23
  Best Buy, Costco, and Walmart will be closed.
• 7:27
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin never sleeps and
• 7:31
  is up 5 % to about $91 ,000. Ethereum is up 3
• 7:38
  % to just over $3 ,000. And XRP is up 1 % to
• 7:44
  $2 .20. Moving on to a more local vibe. In our

• 8:35
  Let's talk tech. VJI, one of the world's largest
• 8:39
  drone manufacturers, is facing a full -scale
• 8:42
  ban in the United States, with a deadline of
• 8:45
  December 23rd, 2025, looming ahead. This ban
• 8:50
  is part of ongoing restrictions from the U .S.
• 8:52
  government. which has scrutinized DJI since 2017.
• 8:58
  Adam Welsh, DJI's head of global policy, stated,
• 9:03
  This is about forcing the biggest manufacturer
• 9:05
  of drones out of the market. DJI holds a staggering
• 9:10
  77 % of the U .S. consumer drone market and approximately
• 9:14
  70 % globally. If the ban is enacted, It could
• 9:19
  disrupt industries like agriculture and emergency
• 9:22
  services that rely heavily on DJEDI products.
• 9:29
  And in entertainment news, streaming platform
• 9:32
  Netflix was down for about an hour for several
• 9:35
  users in the United States on Wednesday evening,
• 9:38
  coinciding with the release of the fifth and
• 9:41
  final season of its hit series, Stranger Things.
• 9:44
  There were less than 800 reports of the issue
• 9:47
  as of 8 .45 p .m. Eastern Time, down from a peak
• 9:51
  of 14 ,290 incidents earlier in the day, according
• 9:56
  to Down Detector, which tracks outages using
• 9:59
  multiple sources. Some members briefly experienced
• 10:03
  an issue streaming on TV devices, but service
• 10:06
  recovered for all accounts within five minutes.
• 10:09
  Netflix said in an emailed response to Reuters,
• 10:13
  Netflix has ranked Stranger Things as its third
• 10:16
  most popular English language series globally.
• 10:21
  Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote
• 10:24
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:28
  American author and humorist, Irma Bombeck. And
• 10:32
  she said, Thanksgiving dinners take 18 hours
• 10:36
  to prepare. They are consumed in 12 minutes.
• 10:39
  Half times take 12 minutes. This is not coincidence.
• 10:45
