TikTok wants to help users wind down and relax. That's
why it's rolling out of feature that after ten pm
automatically guides those younger than eighteen to meditation exercises. It
also pushes alerts encouraging users to go to bed. Ophelia
from Cambridge thinks it's a great idea because.
Speaker 4 (01:27):

(02:18):
Game six in the NBA's Eastern Conference Final against the Knicks.
WBC's Drew moholland is here holding out any hope. I
got a little hope. I think this is looking good.
I actually think this is looking I might not.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Put it in the good category, but I'm gonna I'm
keeping the faith. But I do have one question for you, Jeffrey, and.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
To ask yourself one question.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Do I feel lucky?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:40):
To me?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You hope?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Man?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
All right? So by the numbers here, jeff Right, the
Celtics they've actually come back from three to one series
deficits twice nineteen sixty eight, some of you might remember
that out there, all right, and then again in nineteen
eighty one. So there's been like thirteen teams in the
NBA who have come back from three one.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Series that the Celtics or two of them.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
And they're two of them.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
And actually the Dallas Mavericks did it twice during the
COVID season in twenty when they were in the bubble. Yep,
they did it twice at the same playoff runs so
there's that. And if you're wondering, you know, you want
to put a little wager or something on this. If
you bet one hundred dollars on the Celtics to win
the series, it means two games. They're gonna win two games.
They're at plus two twenty seven. So one hundred dollars
(03:21):
wins you two hundred and twenty in the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's so you're telling me, yeah, there's the check.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
All right, thank you, Drew. I don't mean to add
to your honeydeo list this weekend, but you might want
to think about popping the AC's in the window. It's
very muggy this morning in Boston. We do have that
Florida feel out the door sixty four in the city
right now. We've got a thick blanket of clouds and
some thick, patchy fog in areas this morning, both of
which will burn off. We will see some increasing amounts
(03:52):
of sunshine later on today. Temperatures are going to be
very close to eighty degrees and inland locations load to
mid seventies even along the waterfront today and will be
very humid as well. Cloudy overnight tonight, and a couple
of spotty showers through the area. Lose once again in
the sixties. Tomorrow is not a washout, but at the
same time, we need to keep at least one eye
(04:12):
to the sky, especially later in the afternoon when a
line of potentially severe thunderstorms rolls through. It looks like
we will see some sunshine along the way tomorrow and
high temperatures will be in the low to mid seventies.
Looks like it's a slightly calmer day to rind up
the weekend on Sunday, with the mixture of sun and clouds,
breezy conditions, and the possibility of a shower again. High
(04:33):
temperatures in the seventies. Right now, it's already sixty four
but cloudy skies in Boston six oh six this Friday morning.
A closer look at deadly injuries at the Karen Reid trial.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
So on his right eyelet there was a small laceration.
I also observed abrasions on the anterior and the left
aspect of the nose.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The medical examiner explains her autopsy results of John O'Keefe.
The pictures not easy to see.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Judge Beverly connote set the tone early for what would
be a difficult day for the jury looking at graphic
photos from the autopsy on the body of John O'Keefe,
photos so graphic that at one point the judge called
a recess at the request of a juror. The medical
exabitor who conducted the autopsy testified she concluded O'Keeffe died
(05:22):
from blunt impact injuries to the head in hypothermia, but
the doctor could not determine how those injuries were sustained.
At the courthouse and debt of Mike Macklin WVZ Boston's
news radio, where there's.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Smoke, there might be fire, The La County Sheriff's office
opens a criminal investigation into legendary Motown singer Smokey Robinson
after several women come forward with allegations of sexual assault,
all of them former employees, who want fifty million dollars
in damages in a civil lawsuit. They claim Robinson attacked
(05:57):
them when his wife was out of the house. Lawyers
for Robinson deny the allegations. Officials with the Sheriff's departments
say the civil claims by the four Jane Does is
enough to warrant their investigation, which is in the early stages,
and no further details are being released. New clues this
morning about the mysterious impact of the condition known as
long COVID.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Doctors say they're getting closer to understanding the brain fog
many long COVID patients experience. A study by Corwell Health
found people who experience brain fog have more inflammation in
their brain than other patients. Up until now, doctors have
had challenges understanding why some patients develop brain fog and
others don't.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
CBS's Michael George. Some twenty million Americans have been diagnosed
with the condition long COVID. Meantime, US health officials are
about to release some guidelines that might put some severe
restrictions on this fall's anticipated COVID vaccine, if one is
available at all. Officials say they want a streamline and
simplify what they call a complicated FDA approval system, with
(06:56):
the potential recommendation that only those with chronic conditions be
advise to get the shot in the coming months. You
are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
