  to know. Today is Good Friday. Good Friday commemorates

  practice. So now you know. And now, it's time

  54. Bonjour, food enthusiasts. This podcast is
• 2:05
  brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries

  in Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino Real South,
• 2:12

  is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge in
• 2:19
  their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten -free
• 2:23
  crepes. You can grab a panini for lunch or just
• 2:26

• 2:29
  They are open every day from 8 to 5. So stop
• 2:34
  on by and don't forget to tell them. Sunny mornings
• 2:37
  send you. In local news, American Express is
• 2:43
  set to open a lounge with a terrace at Logan
• 2:45
  Airport in 2029. This new two -story lounge will
• 2:50
  be located at Terminal C. and is described as
• 2:53
  inspired by Boston's historic character and coastal
• 2:57
  charm. The lounge will showcase local artwork
• 3:00
  and design elements that highlight the city's
• 3:03
  green spaces, harbor vistas, and academic legacy.
• 3:08
  Signature amenities will include premium food
• 3:11
  and beverage options, seating, complimentary
• 3:13
  high -speed Wi -Fi, and dedicated workstations.
• 3:17
  Massport has approved a budget of up to $75 million
• 3:21
  for the lounge's shell, while American Express
• 3:24
  will invest $391 million, including an annual
• 3:29
  rent of $10 million. Now on to sports. Kirk Cousins
• 3:40
  has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, which
• 3:42
  makes perfect sense for the team as a mentor
• 3:45
  for Fernando Mendoza. The Raiders have added
• 3:48
  the veteran quarterback, according to his agent,
• 3:51
  Mike McCartney, just days after speculation about
• 3:54
  his future arose during the NFL owners' meetings.
• 3:58
  Cousins was released by the Atlanta Falcons,
• 4:00
  who are moving forward with Michael Pennix Jr.
• 4:03
  and Tua Tagovailova. At 37 years old, Cousins
• 4:08
  brings nearly 45 ,000 career passing yards, 298...
• 4:14
  touchdown passes, and four Pro Bowl selections.
• 4:17
  This signing aligns with the Raiders' new head
• 4:20
  coach, Clint Kubiak, and their number one pick
• 4:23
  in the 2026 NFL Draft. In local sports, the Bees
• 4:29
  fell to the Panthers 2 -1 on Thursday night in
• 4:31
  Sunrise, Florida, ending their playoff hopes.
• 4:35
  Despite a strong effort, with Fraser Minton scoring
• 4:38
  a late first -period goal, The Bruins couldn't
• 4:41
  overcome a quick start from the Panthers, who
• 4:44
  got goals from Maki Samoskevic and Sam Bennett
• 4:47
  in the first. Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves in
• 4:52
  the loss, while Panthers goaltender Sergi Bobrovsky
• 4:55
  turned aside 28 shots overall. Next up, the Bruins
• 5:00
  will face the Lightning on Saturday, while the
• 5:03
  Panthers head to Pittsburgh on the same day.
• 5:05
  And this afternoon at Fenway Park... It's opening
• 5:09
  day. The two and four Padres are in town to face
• 5:13
  the one and five Red Sox at 210. Michael King
• 5:17
  faces Sonny Gray. In top news, just how much
• 5:24
  are 12 metric tons of stolen Kit Kat bars worth?
• 5:27
  A lot of promotional gold, it turns out. Over
• 5:32
  the weekend, Nestle confirmed that thieves had
• 5:34
  swiped 413 ,793 units of Kit Kats somewhere along
• 5:41
  their way from a factory in central Italy to
• 5:44
  Poland. Though both the chocolate bars and the
• 5:47
  truck remained missing, no one was hurt in the
• 5:49
  theft. What the Swiss company lost in chocolate,
• 5:53
  it gained back in public relations. Nestle stated,
• 5:57
  we've always encouraged people to have a break
• 6:00
  with Kit Kat. but it seems these have taken the
• 6:02
  message too literally. In business news. Morning,
• 6:08
  Amazon quietly changed this popular feature,
• 6:11
  and now strangers can access your address. Here
• 6:14
  is what to do about it. Amazon wish lists give
• 6:18
  you control over what gifts friends, family,
• 6:20
  and even strangers buy for you. However, using
• 6:24
  them just got dangerous. When you are celebrating
• 6:28
  events such as getting married, having a baby,
• 6:31
  or graduating from college, people often shower
• 6:34
  you with gifts. Enter the gift registry, which
• 6:37
  guided more taste -challenged friends toward
• 6:39
  gifts you want. Now, news reveals this popular
• 6:43
  service changed a major privacy setting. In crypto
• 6:47
  movement, Bitcoin is down 1 .5 % to just under
• 6:52
  $67 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to $2 ,000. And
• 6:59
  XRP is down 1 .5 % to $1 .32. Moving on to a
• 7:07
  more local vibe. In our community spotlight on
• 7:11
  health and wellness, we are working with a national
• 7:14
  Pilates studio to bring you some free classes,
• 7:17
  so listen up. Check out Club Pilates, with several
• 7:22
  locations in the Boston area. Pilates presents
• 7:24
  a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating
• 7:28
  strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental
• 7:31
  well -being. Scientific research affirms its
• 7:34
  benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates
• 7:39
  for a free class. With locations in Canton, Wellesley,
• 7:43
  Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure
• 7:47
  to tell them sunny morning sent you by. And now,
• 7:51
  back to the show. Let's talk science. A scientist
• 7:57
  may have just solved the mystery of the Great
• 7:59
  Pyramid. Ancient Egyptians, despite lacking modern
• 8:03
  technology, completed the megalith in a remarkably
• 8:06
  swift manner. The construction methods of the
• 8:09
  Great Pyramid have sparked extensive debate,
• 8:12
  with theories suggesting ramps were used, although
• 8:15
  no evidence of them has been found. One scientist
• 8:19
  proposed that if ramps existed, they would have
• 8:22
  been integrated into the pyramid and concealed.
• 8:25
  In algorithm testing, this idea revealed that
• 8:28
  a built -in ramp could have significantly reduced
• 8:31
  construction time by facilitating easier ascent
• 8:34
  and allowing multiple teams to position stone
• 8:37
  blocks simultaneously. And in entertainment news,
• 8:44
  J .J. Abrams is scaling down Bad Robot as he
• 8:48
  moves to New York. The production company is
• 8:51
  leaving Los Angeles after nearly three decades
• 8:54
  of producing several hit films and television
• 8:57
  shows, including Mission Impossible movies, Lost,
• 9:01
  and Westworld. Bad Robot is reorganizing and
• 9:05
  shutting down its Los Angeles office, following
• 9:08
  the sale of its longtime Santa Monica headquarters
• 9:11
  for $31 million in November and staff reductions
• 9:15
  in recent years. Founded in 1999, the company
• 9:20
  has been responsible for numerous hits, starting
• 9:23
  with Alias in 2001 and adding Fringe, Person
• 9:27
  of Interest, and Westworld. Well, alrighty folks,
• 9:33
  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 9:37
  our quote comes from the American author and
• 9:39
  motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie. And he said,
• 9:44
  Success is getting what you want. Happiness is
• 9:47
  wanting what you get. And that's a wrap for this
• 9:52
  morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
• 9:55
  and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
• 9:59
  with local news and the weather reports. Have
• 10:03
