00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, re defining local news.

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Friday. Finally, get in here, you little devil. You haven't

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>been around for seven whole days, and you don't call,

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't write, but you're here.

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 3>Bring it in. Good start to the day.

6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Clear sky's forty one degrees as we get going on

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>this Friday morning. The News at six is brought to

8
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>us by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being here today. I'm Jeff Brown,

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and Boston is on an Easter egg roll Son.

11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 3>We'll give way to increasing clouds today.

12
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a breezy, mild afternoon with a high around

13
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>sixty five degrees.

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>This WBZ achi weather meteorologist Heather's are near eighty tomorrow afternoon.

15
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>America loves a winner, and the Easter Bunny will be

16
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>revered even more this weekend if he pops Reese's Peanut

17
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>butter eggs in your basket. This weekend once again ranked

18
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>America's favorite Easter candy the annual Instacart survey fine will

19
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>spend more than three billion dollars on candy this year.

20
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>This holiday Easter is the second most popular candy. Holiday,

21
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>of course, following Halloween and Easter is not just for

22
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>kids anymore either. More than six and ten adults say

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>they would like an Easter basket this year, and chocolates

24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>must be included. Pope Francis won't take center stage during

25
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Holy weekend celebrations at the Vatican, but he's certainly not

26
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 2>being sidelined.

27
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 4>The tradition is to wash the feet of those prisoners,

28
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 4>something he couldn't do because he is still recovering from

29
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 4>a serious case of life threatening double pneumonia. He was

30
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 4>only released from the hospital last month and was given

31
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 4>strict doctors' orders not to mingle with the people and

32
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 4>to limit his public appearances, but so far that does

33
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>not seem to be working. He has made several public

34
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>appearances and indeed mingled with people in the last ten days,

35
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 4>specifically right now during Holy Week. Chris Livesay, CBS News Rome.

36
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>It's a holiday weekend here in Greater Boston and the

37
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 2>city is already buzzing with days to go till Marathon Monday.

38
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The scene is set. Everywhere you look around the Back

39
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Bay in Copley Square, you see Boston Marathon banners, posters

40
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and places to get merch. Jeff works at Burris, a

41
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>finness center not too far away from the finish line.

42
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 5>Excitement is top notch on a lot of high energy

43
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 5>and great community.

44
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he says, people have been coming in all week

45
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and getting ready.

46
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>For the big day.

47
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Don't overpace in the beginning, don't go too fast. I

48
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 5>think a lot of people get so hyped in the

49
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 5>beginning that they go a little over their normal case

50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 5>and then like end up having a hard time in

51
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 5>the end. But let's really just have fun and let

52
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 5>the crowd give you the hype and the energy.

53
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>His advice for runners visiting Boston is stop by the

54
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>North End and carb up in the back bay. James

56
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Red Sox finally back in action tonight.

57
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Every time the Red Sox are off for baseball fans,

58
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>it feels like there's a night with nothing to do.

59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>The back at Fenway Park. Tonight, they'll kick off a

60
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>weekend series with the White Sox. Saturday mornings just won't

61
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>be the same. ESPN's College Game Day is about to

62
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>get a new and different look. WBC's drewm o'holland is

63
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>here with details. Morning Andrew.

64
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 6>Good morning, Jeffrey. The eighty nine year old Lee Corso

65
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 6>is beloved by fans, but he's gonna retire. He's been

66
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 6>known for Donn and the school mascot. You know, he

67
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 6>wears the head there picks a winner every Saturday while

68
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 6>on the road with the ESPN crew. He started that

69
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 6>tradition decades ago. Corso's health has been failing and he's

70
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 6>missed several Saturdays in recent years, so you think you'll

71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 6>never see him again on TV.

72
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Not so fast, you guys over there.

73
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 7>Not so fast, my friend, not so fast.

74
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 6>Not so fast, my friend, not so fast.

75
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 3>My friend, not so fast, my friend.

76
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 6>Lee Corso's last appearance on college game Day will come

77
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 6>on Kicked Off weekend August.

78
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Thirtieth this year. Wow, what a tradition. He's the best.

79
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>He will be missed a long holiday weekend here in Boston,

80
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>and for some the holidays begin today.

81
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 3>It's good Friday.

82
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Wall Street has closed today and it's a

83
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>beautiful day on We've got clear skies at sunrise in

84
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the city. And by the way, this is the first

85
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>sunrise of the year that occurs before six o'clock, so

86
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>we're in good shape.

87
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 3>As we head into the weekend.

88
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Today is going to be beautiful with plenty of sunshine

89
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>mixing with clouds later on in the day. High temperature

90
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>is going to be in the mid sixties today, cloudy,

91
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>with a slight risk of a passing shower overnight Tonight

92
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>lows in the fifties, so relatively comfortable and for sleeping weather.

93
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Tonight Tomorrow is going to feel more like summer than

94
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 2>early spring. Temperature is going to jump way into the

95
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>mid seventies at the very least, and maybe into the

96
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>low eighties, and inland locations it's going to be breezy

97
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>with a mixture of clouds and sun. Easter Sunday also

98
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>looks pretty nice with some sunshine, breezy conditions, more seasonable

99
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>temperatures with highs in the sixties. And Marathon Monday looks

100
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>okay too, with some sunshine to begin, some clouds creeping

101
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 2>in later in the day, and the possibility of showers

102
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>by nightfall, but daytime highs will be in the fifties

103
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>and maybe the low sixties for the runners. Now in

104
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Boston it is forty one degrees and clear skies. Sunrise

105
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>in the city at six oh six on this Friday morning.

106
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>The rat race is keeping most Americans up at night,

107
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>but workers here in Massachusetts managed to get some shut

108
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>eye and some easing stress.

109
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 8>When it comes to work related stress, Massachusetts surprisingly ranks

110
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 8>in the lower half of all states in the US.

111
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Really, that's crazy. That's crazy to me.

112
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I took today off just to get away from the

113
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>stress and TGIF.

114
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 8>But not everybody has such luxury and the anxiety starts early.

115
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess it can.

116
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Be stressful a lot of the times.

117
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 4>It could be related to the alarms going off.

118
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 8>But new numbers place the base date in the top

119
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 8>ten for least amount of sleep related stress and top

120
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 8>twenty in the US when it comes to pressure brought

121
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 8>on by job security, income, and yeah, even commuting.

122
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's because all the marijuana stores that are open.

123
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's keeping everybody stable.

124

<v Speaker 8>Chris Vaum a WBZ Boston's news radio.

125
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Even with a day off, in Norfolk, Superior courts its

126
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>deadline day for Karen Reid's lawyers to respond to a

127
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>court order to give prosecutors more information about two lightning

128
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 2>rod witnesses set to testify for the defense. Judge Beverly

129
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Canoni wants team reed to turn over any and all communication,

130
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>including letters, invoices and bills to crash reconstruction. Witnesses who

131
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>prosecutors say were paid for their testimony during Reid's first trial,

132
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>not only that any oral agreements must be exchanged by

133
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>clothes of business today. The pair of witnesses were first

134
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>retained during a federal investigation that has since been dropped.

135
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Opening statements in Reid's retrial are set for Tuesday. Boston

136
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 2>City councilors meet in emergency session this morning to discuss

137
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a proposal that would leave an expected vacant seat on

138
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the panel empty until the general election this November. City

139
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson says she plans to resign her

140
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 2>seat and has been seen removing items from her office

141
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>in recent weeks following a guilty plea on federal kickback

142
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Chargesial say of stage a special election so close to

143
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 2>the general election is confusing and a hardship for local voters.

144
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Lawmakers on Beacon Hill would need to grant a home

145

146
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>TikTok says, dance like no one is watching. Picture this

147
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 2>someone is dancing to Chapel roone on TikTok. The video

148
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 2>has five million views and the dancer is sixty years old.
