15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>their bosses at vendor Aramark at noontime. Strike seems like

16
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 1>a sure bet at this hour, and just hours before

17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.520

20
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>for what would be the park's first ever concession strike. Well,

29
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.079

<v Speaker 4>admitted to using steroids for thirteen years. Then twelve years

31

39
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>has caused so much uproar at CBS. The company settled

40
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a recent lawsuit of by President Trump over what it

41
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>claims was a manipulated interview by sixty minutes with one

43
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 1>dollars and then canceled Stephen Colbert and the Late Show franchise.

44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.639

47
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Haley's life in Stow has been absolutely miserable.

48
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Worst experience in my life.

49
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 5>That's because they lost both of their Duncan locations in

50
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 5>a matter of weeks. My reporting on that original story

51
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 5>went viral.

52
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 6>Because I've been traveling further away to go at Dunkin Donuts.

53
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you already have to travel now a mile and

54
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 5>a half. The sun shined on great road as these

55
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 5>words rang through the PA. We're officially ending our Duncan

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 5>of hundreds in front of the newest Duncan location, which

58
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 5>is not exactly in Stoved.

59
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 6>Welcome everyone to the town of Duncan, Massachusetts.

60
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they changed the name of the town to Duncan

61
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 5>for one day, which Haley says is not enough.

62
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I wish you would stay like this forever. And what

63
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>time did you get here today? One thirty in the

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:28.639

67
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>So this is going to be one of the hottest

68
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>days of the season in a summer that has piled

69
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>hot days one on top of the other. It seems

70
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy two and increasingly muggy this morning. A heat advisory

71
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>remains in effect until eight o'clock tonight. We'll see some

72
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>sunshine this morning, building clouds throughout the day and the

73
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>afternoon thread of showers and thunderstorms as temperatures rise well

74
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>into the nineties. The record is ninety six, set more

75
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>than a one hundred and forty years ago. We'll get

76
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>very close to that today if not eclipse it, and

77
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the heat index will top one hundred degrees. We'll see

78
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>those showers and thunderstorms rumble through the area later today

79
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and then the air starts to clear out overnight tonight,

80
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>which is going to set the stage for a pretty

81
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>decent looking weekend with the mix of sun and clouds

82
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 1>both Tomorrow and Sunday, with daytime highs right around eighty

83
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>before we start to warm things right back up as

84
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.000

<v Speaker 1>Boston its seventy two and some hazy skies here in

86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the city at six oh six this Friday morning. It's

87
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>a great day at the beach for adults to play

88
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>in the sands.

89
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>They'll not finish. The sand sculptures and the craftsmanship behind

90
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>them are leaving folks in awe.

91
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm amazed. I can't believe what they could do with

92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 3>Seand I was really good when I was little at

93
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 3>digging holes at the beach, but not so much.

94
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Building castles tell me from Revere is getting a good

95
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>look long before the large crowds show up, which have

96
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>seemingly been getting larger each year.

97
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 3>They never used to shut this bore down here now

98
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 3>they do, and they're very strictation, so I would come early.

99
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>But it's exciting. I love seeing the little kids. I

100
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 3>used to seeing the little kids' faces.

101
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>His advice for those coming down take public transportation.

102
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to find a new wheel to park.

103
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 2>At Revere Beach. James Rojas w b Z, Boston'snoos Radio.

104
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 1>It literally smells like death and people are going to

105
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>flock to its stench. A rare blooming of the noted

106
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>corpse flower is about to take place in Wellesley. It

107
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>takes about ten years from seed to bloom, and this

108
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>is the weekend at Wheaton College. To breathe it in,

109
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 1>experts say the corpse flower will be gone in a flash, too.

110
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Better hurry. The bloom only lasts for about twenty four hours.

111
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It looks like it's been a great year so far.

112
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 5>Down on the farm, that's the biggest blueberry I've ever seen.

113
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:45.800

115
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 6>They're showing me blueberries as wide around as golf balls.

116
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 6>They've been in the business forty years and haven't seen

117
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 6>a season like this ever. The bushers are so heavy

118
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 6>with berries that the branches would touch the ground if

119
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 6>they weren't held up. This style of new frills blueberry

120

123
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 6>In many other places, they just give you a bucket

124
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 6>and let you have at it. No hay rides or

125

<v Speaker 6>Paul dispelled some blueberry miss while we were there.

128
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people think the green ones are going

129
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 7>to turn blue at home like a tomato. Yes, and

130
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 7>they're picking blue in green and you have to say no,

131
