  In local news, Jerry Seinfeld, one of the most successful comedians of our time, recently
• 3:08
  shared a memorable moment from his career that still affects him three decades later.
• 3:15
  During a 1993 performance in Boston, Seinfeld was heckled with a… heard it… shout from
• 3:21
  an audience member while delivering a meticulously crafted wedding bid.
• 3:27
  Despite the years and his significant success, this incident lingers in his mind, highlighting
• 3:32
  the challenges and intricacies of developing comedy that resonates and feels fresh.
• 3:38
  Even after repeated performances.
• 3:41
  Beantown Baby knocking you down a peg since forever.
• 3:50
  Now on to sports.
• 3:52
  After facing strong criticism over their new uniforms, Major League Baseball and Nike are
• 3:57
  set to make significant changes.
• 4:01
  Players and fans expressed dissatisfaction with issues like unreadable nameplates and
• 4:06
  moisture issues, prompting MLB to demand revisions.
• 4:11
  A memo from the MLB Players Association highlighted these concerns and confirmed that Nike will
• 4:17
  address the issues by the 2025 season, reversing many of the initial changes to the uniforms,
• 4:24
  which included problematic moisture handling and durability during play.
• 4:29
  In local sports.
• 4:31
  In Game 4, the Celtics on the road beat the Heat, 102-88.
• 4:37
  They now lead the series 3 games to 1 and head back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday.
• 4:45
  And tonight, the Red Sox are at home to take on the Giants.
• 4:50
  And the Bruins are at home for Game 5 to skate with the Maple Leafs.
• 4:56
  And top news, starting your day with vegetables instead of carbohydrates can lead to better
• 5:02
  control of blood sugar levels.
• 5:06
  Research suggests that eating non-starchy vegetables before carbs helps reduce glucose
• 5:10
  spikes, potentially benefiting both people with diabetes and those with normal blood
• 5:16
  sugar levels.
• 5:18
  This approach, which involves eating vegetables 10 minutes before carbohydrates, also helps
• 5:24
  curb hunger by affecting hunger hormones, leading to potentially lower calorie intake
• 5:30
  and better overall nutrient consumption.
• 5:34
  In business news.
• 5:36
  ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, has confirmed that it will not be selling its US.
• 5:43
  Operations of the platform, despite a new US law that could potentially force such a
• 5:48
  sale.
• 5:50
  This decision follows recent speculation about a possible sale, which ByteDance refutes as
• 5:55
  untrue.
• 5:58
  This stance comes after the US passed legislation citing national security concerns, which TikTok
• 6:04
  has countered by denying any sharing of US user data with the Chinese government.
• 6:10
  TikTok remains a major player in the US market, with around 170 million users, and continues
• 6:17
  to challenge the legislation in court.
• 6:21
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,000.
• 6:26
  Ethereum is $3,100.
• 6:29
  And Solana is $136.
• 6:35
  Moving on to a more local vibe.

  In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

  Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by.
• 7:19
  And now, back to the show.
• 7:23
  Let's talk science.
• 7:25
  An engineer claims to have developed a new propulsion system that defies traditional
• 7:29
  physics by not requiring propellant to produce thrust.
• 7:33
  Dubbed an improbable engine, this technology, created by former NASA engineer Charles Buller
• 7:39
  and his team at Exodus Propulsion Technologies, reportedly harnesses a new force that allows
• 7:46
  for the counteraction of Earth's gravity.
• 7:50
  This breakthrough could revolutionize space travel if validated, but it remains highly
• 7:55
  controversial and unproven, echoing the skepticism faced by previous attempts.
• 8:02
  Triggerless independent testing is necessary to verify these extraordinary claims.
• 8:10
  And in entertainment news, CBS is revamping its NFL Today lineup, introducing Matt Ryan
• 8:17
  to the studio team for the 2024 season.
• 8:22
  He joins James Brown, Nate Berlson, Phil Cower, and J.J. Watt as Phil Sims and Boomer S. Syison
• 8:29
  X at the show.
• 8:31
  Ouch.
• 8:32
  Where's the loyalty?
• 8:35
  Ryan transitions from game analysis to the pregame desk, highlighting his first successful
• 8:40
  year with CBS Sports.
• 8:43
  S. Syison, meanwhile, continues with CBS on the Boomer and Geo show, and Sims departs
• 8:49
  after a significant tenure.
• 8:52
  Ryan expressed enthusiasm about contributing to the legacy of the iconic show.
• 8:57
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:03
  And today, our quote comes from Henry Ford, the creator of the Model T and the Ford Motor
• 9:10
  Company said, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
• 9:16
  So if you're feeling like the wind is slowing you down lately, find a way to let it propel
• 9:21
  you rather than fight against it.
• 9:25
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
• 9:28
  You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
• 9:34
