Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. It is Thursday, September fourth, the first day
of school in Boston. Forecast for the first day turning sunny,
nice today, pretty warm, high's close to eighty degrees, mix
of clouds and sun for tomorrow. Chance of showers too
highs in the eighties. Showers on Saturday. Nice on Sunday.
Top stories again, first day of school in Boston. Beware

(00:22):
the school buses and the kids on the move. The
city will be buzzing this morning. Meantime, classes resume on
the UMass Lowell campus this morning. The shelter in place
lifted early last night. The man reportedly in and around
campus with a gun still on the loose. Scary times
for students. Yesterday I put my cabinet, I see it

(00:44):
right there in front of my door, and locked myself.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
In for just kind of trying to stay calm, sheltering place.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, the patrols in and around campus continue this morning.
Other stories, no winner again in the powerball jackpot last night.
The jackpot Saturday night climbs to one point seven billion dollars,
the third largest in history. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu suddenly
looking to clean up and crackdown on mass and casts
with extra patrols. City Council has a hearing on it tonight.

(01:14):
So I'm wondering why the crackdown now? Could it be
the election coming up?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
To me, it's probably just political games at this point.
You know, the residents have been saying for a long
time that no one's listening to them.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
And how about Lady Gaga canceling her show in Miami
last night just minutes before she was scheduled to take
the stage, complaining of vocal cord problems, Sabrina Carpenter's new
album Man's Best Friend breaking Spotify records this week, most
Dreams and a Single Day by a female artist, And
Bob Kraft says he's thinking about a Belichick statue right

(01:49):
next to the Brady statue.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wasn't that great twenty year era ended? It was always
my intention to commission a statue, both Tommy and Bill Tommy.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
How about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell telling the Today Show
Taylor Swift is a maybe for the Super Bowl halftime
show tonight, the NFL season opener the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Bad news for the Red Sox. Roman Anthony's oblique injury
will likely keep them out for the rest of the
regular season.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Told him to envision alcs first of bat That's what
I told him, you know, just put that goal in
your mind and hopefully happens.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, the home stretch Red Sox lost to the Guardians
yesterday eight to one A ten. This morning, we have
dua lipa tickets. And don't forget the biggest game of
all time is coming back. The Secret Sound comes back
next Monday morning. We'll have all the information on the
show this morning and Lisa checks the drive next
