00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>If that took forever, didn't it. Friday is finally here,

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>even in a holiday abbreviated week. So bring it in, Friday,

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, and here we go. We're under clear skies

5
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>at six o'clock this Friday morning. It is thirty four

6
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>degrees in Boston. The News at six brought to us

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>by your New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>drive headquarters. Thanks for being here today. I'm Jeff Brown. Yep,

9
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>been there, done that.

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>The red flag warning is an effect through sixth this evening.

11
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Clouds.

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Some sunshine this morning, then plenty of sunshine later today.

13
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Reezy and mild, live with the high of fifty seven.

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 3>At is WBZ achi weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Where you

15
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 3>get back to the sixties. Though this weekend, lawmakers on

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Capitol Hill continue to demand that the House Ethics Committee

17
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 3>release its sexual misconduct and drug report on Florida Congressman

18
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>Matt Gates, even though he has resigned to take the

19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Attorney General's job. Gates resignation effectively ends the Ethics Committee's work,

20
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 3>but critics say he left to avoid what is expected

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>to be a damning report. Axios this morning reports that

22
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>a meeting of the Ethics Committee to discuss the situation

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 3>today has been canceled. Gates maintains his innocence. His new

24
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 3>job would put him in charge of the Justice Department,

25
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 3>which also investigated similar claims. The world continues to try

26
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 3>to hammer out a greener future at the COP twenty

27
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>nine summitt an Azerbaijan this week, but the officials may

28
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 3>be banging their heads against a wall. A new report

29
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 3>from the Climate Action Tracker finds despite promises of making

30
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 3>green energy changes, most of the planet is not making

31
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>any progress, and the lack of execution puts us on

32
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 3>the path to blow past temperature guidelines set at the

33
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Paris Climate Accord. Experts say it's not that we aren't trying,

34
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 3>but energy demand continues to increase faster than green energy

35
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 3>initiatives are being rolled out. Fight Night for Iron Mike.

36
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 4>How many people would choose to fight Mike Tyson? I

37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 4>think it's crazy, and yet Internet influencer Jake Paul has

38
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 4>decided to do just that.

39
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's only had a few fights on his belt.

40
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of like it's just We got to see.

41
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 4>This exhibition bout tonight on Netflix, featuring two guys separated

42
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 4>by more than twenty years in age.

43
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I think this is purely entertainment value.

44
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>But that's what you know, that's what the boxing sport

45
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 4>needs right now, needs to get anyone that can in

46
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 4>front of the TV to.

47
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 5>See what it's all about.

48
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Chris Foum, a WBZ Boston's news radio, turns out walking

49
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 4>is getting very expensive for teachers in Beverly, Gloster and Marblehead.

50
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 3>They continue to strike this morning as talks on better pay,

51
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 3>better benefits, and better working conditions remain far apart. In

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>all three communities, fifty thousand dollars fines are being imposed

53
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 3>for refusing to go back to class in the first day,

54
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 3>and only increase daily from there. Another chance to catch

55
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>November's full beaver moon comes tonight wbzas Drew Mlholland, you

56
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 3>see that overnight, it's this morning, you can see it.

57
00:02:58.560 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>It's beautiful, right.

58
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>You know what else?

59
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 5>I think we're both north shore guys. I think with

60
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 5>the wildfires that are still smoldering, you'd notice that kind

61
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 5>of gave a different look to it.

62
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>It did. It was a little bit of a hazy look,

63
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>but also you could still smell the smoke exactly.

64
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're experts on this. We can paint these pictures

65
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 5>for you. And this weekend, Jeffrey, another heavenly treat on

66
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 5>the way with the peak of the leonid media showers.

67
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 5>At its peak we could see up to fifteen meteors

68
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 5>and away from the light, so that's pretty cool. Timing

69
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 5>is everything, though. The peak is Sunday night when the

70
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 5>moon is still almost full, and that lasts through December second.

71
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 3>So it's lots too much going on. Quite a shit show.

72
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I can't handle this.

73
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Somebody clapping, clapping, I think.

74
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>So we're in great shape once again. This morning. It's

75
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 3>cold once again, thirty four here in the city. It's

76
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 3>actually a couple of degrees warmer than it was this

77
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 3>time yesterday. But you can hardly notice when temperatures are

78
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 3>in this range. All right, So here's the deal. We've

79
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 3>got a gusty breeze coming back at us today, low

80
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 3>humidity once again, and dry brush. This is a recipe

81
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 3>for a red flag warning, which is in effect for

82
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Massachusetts once again today and most of the state now

83
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 3>more than two thirds of it considered in severe drought

84
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>conditions and not a drop of rain insight either. But

85
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 3>the weather is simply phenomenal, and it will be again

86
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 3>today right around normal temperatures in the mid fifties for

87
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 3>highs under a mix of sun and clouds. Weekend looks

88
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 3>good too, with some sunshine both Tomorrow and Sunday. Daytime

89
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 3>highs will get into the lower sixties, and that seems

90
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 3>to be the long range trend as well. Right now

91
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>in Boston, coming up on sunrise, we get to have

92
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 3>a few clouds in the sky, but otherwise it's mainly clear.

93
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 3>On a full moon morning, it is thirty four degrees

94
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 3>in Boston six oh six. This Friday, X marks the

95
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 3>spot in the blue clear sky.

96
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 6>The day after the election, X experience its biggest loss

97
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 6>of users since Elon Musk bought the platform in twenty

98
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 6>twenty two. Many are leaving for other social sites like

99
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 6>blue Sky and Threads. However, Kyle over here is not

100
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 6>planning to join the mass X exodus. I play the

101
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 6>say on it. I believe in free speech, and there's

102
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 6>a reason we believe in my face. While over a

103
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 6>million new users have signed up for blue Sky this

104
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 6>past week alone, not everyone thinks it will really matter.

105
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's going to make any difference media

106
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 2>goals from media to media. So just because it's a

107
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>new media doesn't mean it's going to be any different.

108
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 6>Meta owned Threads says it has exceeded two hundred and

109

116

<v Speaker 7>wilted greens. I'm sure you'll recognize some things, but other

118
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.959

120

122
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 7>clean and wipe down everything, shelves, walls, drawers, racks, and

<v Speaker 7>Jay will Lett, WBZ Boston's News Radio.

126
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>See that the light at the end of this particularly

127
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 3>dark tunnel turns out to be a Dunks.

128
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>The former Beef and Ale restaurant in Stowe has been

129
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 2>quietly rotting on the side of the road for sixteen years,

130
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>but suddenly it's rotting loudly. We're doing the demo for

131
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 2>the Dunkandonis. That's Lewis and you heard him right. He's

132
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>turning it into a Duncan. Best news ever, So why

133
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 2>is this such a big deal. Well, for that we

134
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>go back in time. Two years there is no more

135
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Duck Donuts and stuff.

136
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it sucks.

137
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>And twenty twenty two, Stow lost both its Duncan locations,

138
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 2>which made international news because of my video about it,

139
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>featuring this local teenager named Elizabeth.

140
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 7>There's nothing fun to do and Duncan Donuts was the

141
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 7>one place where everyone likes to go.

142
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Well two years later, are you good? Good to see

143
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 2>you get to tell her the good news.

144
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 7>That's wild, that's actually amazing. Oh my gosh. Hopefully the

145
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 7>Facebook moms will be happy.

146
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.959
