SE02:EP145

In today's episode, we start with a weather report for the Boston area. This morning it’s sunny and feels like 64 degrees with a 15 MPH wind. Expect sunny skies with temperatures reaching the low eighties and a light breeze from the southwest around nine miles per hour. Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with a low in the mid-sixties and a gentle breeze from the west.

We then shift to local sports, where the Boston Red Sox have suspended All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran for two games without pay after he directed a homophobic slur at a fan during Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros. The Red Sox are at home to take on the Rangers tonight.

Next, we discuss the severe debt crisis in San Francisco's hotel industry, Johnson and Johnson’s $6.5 billion settlement over talc product allegations, and the impact of an intense solar storm that could bring the northern lights further south than usual. We wrap up with Tom Cruise’s stunt jump from a stadium roof during the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris and an inspiring quote from Bill Vaughan!
