Although it wasn't much of a secret at this point, it just was the Eagles waiting until June 1st to make this deal because it helped them with the cap hit that they took from making this trade. in. But now, if you are someone who wants to see an accelerated pace of the Patriots progression, if you have said that, you know, if if if only if only they had that next step kind of player, that next level kind of player, the offense would be that much better because the the offense. Again, you're talking about a team that made the Super Bowl, but the offense does need to improve. You can't be relying on a young Drake May to make all these plays for you. He needs weapons. And so, the Patriots targeted one at AJ Brown and now they got him. So, they're going to give up a fifth round pick this year and a first round pick in 2028. I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, yeah, not this year because they already did the TW. So, in the next draft, they'll give up a fifth round 2027 and then a first round in 2028. But you're hoping that, you know, that this this plays out and that you can be a team that returns to the Super Bowl. And by the way, he's only 28 years old. So you've got a you you know, based on the average playing time of a wide receiver, you you've got a couple of great years of production left. So I don't know. I think it's a good move. You know, Stefon Diggs wasn't sticking around and and this is an upgrade. And I think you're going to see for all of his all the complaints that they had about him in Philadelphia that he was undermining the team and all that kind of stuff. I think you're going to see a lot of AJ Brown jerseys at Gillette Stadium. Especially since if that, you know, the the the Mike Vrabel effect really does get him back to the player that he was when he was with Tennessee, well, they again, you've got to make these upgrades here because you made the Super Bowl and now there's a lot of expectations. If you hadn't done that, people might have been a little bit more of the mindset of, of course, we we are rebuilding here. We're rebuilding around a new star quarterback. It's It's going to take a little while. Nope. People are going to say, "You had a chance last year. Now, we expect you to be there every year." So, it'll be a fun season. certainly a much more uh bali hooded for lack of a better word team heading into the season because last year nobody had any expectations of them and look what they did. So now it's going to be a little bit of a different situation. 5089960500 app chat openline voicemails on the WBSM app. We uh as I mentioned we the Gen X Files has a new sponsor and we have a new sponsor on the program. So excited to welcome Rewind Restaurant and Arcade and Wham. If you haven't had a chance to go yet they're closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but on Thursdays it's a great time to go. It's not too busy. Friday nights and Saturday nights it can get a little crowded in there. And one thing to know about rewind is after 8:00 p.m. it's 21 plus. So if you are going out to eat and you don't want to have a bunch of kids distracting you, well that's a great time to go out to eat. But if you want to get down into the arcade, have a few drinks while you're playing some games and not worry about kids running around, that's what it's all about. That's what it's for. And of course, you know, families are welcome up until 8:00 p.m., but after 8 it goes 21 plus, so it's a great spot for a date night, too. But the you think to yourself, okay, it's an arcade restaurant. So, you know, they probably got some pizza, maybe some burgers, chicken fingers, you know, that kind of stuff. It's all about eating something really quick and then running down into the arcade and playing the games. And I would say in all my conversations with Phil, the owner of Rew and in all of my visits over there, I got to say he is more proud of than anything. I mean, he's proud of the whole place and he has good reason to. It's it's just awesome in there. But he is most proud of that menu and the food that they are putting out. It is a real dining experience. It's not just quick food to eat while you're playing games. It's not just something to scarf down before you go play the video games. No, this is a a real gem of a dining experience. And where an Asian fusion menu, but he's got the pizzas, the smash burgers, all that stuff, but he's just taking everything in a different direction. So, you can check out their menu on online and and see for yourself just some of the the different things, but it's it's all the little nuances of it, too. You know, he's got the the foresight to say, "How can I tie all of this into what we're doing here at Rewind, right down to the Tetrishaped tater tots?" So, check out Rewind Restaurant and Bar and Wearham. And it's it's a it's an arcade. It's a bar. It's a place where you can get together with friends. It's a place where you can rent out their party room, which looks just like a blockbuster video from the early 90s. Like movie posters on the wall, movies playing on the TV, and just shelves and shelves of videotapes. It's It's the coolest thing. You have to see it for yourself. And you can check it out on Main Street and Wearham. And don't forget, they want you to be kind and please rewind. All right. 5089960500. We I just posted the story about that Taton shooting incident in which two teenagers really were shot. One 16 years old, one 19 years old, another 16-year-old boy was also involved in the crash associated with this. They crash into a fire hydrant and was injured in the crash. And that 16-year-old boy also had a warrant for his arrest related to a shooting in 2025 in Taon, which means that he was probably 15 when that happened. So, good work by the Taton Police Department to be on top of that situation. But you can read more about it at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. And also at wbsm.com, you know, we always have interesting things for you to read. Barry, of course, has a couple of great articles today. One letting you know about a Flag Day concert that's going to be happening at Taber Academy, but another pointing out that Bristol's Fourth of July celebration, which we always consider to be the nation's foremost and old, it is the oldest Fourth of July celebration, we always say it's also the best. Well, according to a USA Today ranking, it's not quite the best. So, you can read that and see where it falls. I've never gone to that Fourth of July celebration, but I've watched it on TV. I because I I guess you're going to get there like super early and I'm just not if I have the day off, I'm not getting up that early. It's the same reason why I never went out and experienced Black Friday shopping once I actually had Black Friday off. It's like Do I need to? I mean, there's been some years that I've been up and said I could go out, but then I just don't bother. But we also have an article up about why it seems like tick activity is so high in Massachusetts this spring. And you've got to be careful because it is. I've noticed a lot of people have been outside for just brief periods of time and they're not walking through deep woods. You know, they're just walking down a path. You know, you could just be taking a walk down the Fair Haven bike path here. But there's so many ticks out this spring that it it doesn't take much for them to attach themselves to you. And if you are someone who does go outside frequently, make sure you are checking yourself when you come back because Lyme disease is no joke. Now, the problem is if you're not thorough, you know, you could miss it. You might say, "Okay, I took a walk. Let me check my, you know, I wore shorts. Let me just check my ankles. See if I see anything." No, no. You don't realize those things can can jump. They can get pretty high up on your body and you could have it the back of your head. So, it's always helpful, too, if you have somebody else that can that can check you. That's one bad part about living alone is uh I can't walk over to somebody and say, "Hey, does this does this look right to you? What does it what does this look like to you? I got bit by something a couple weeks ago and I didn't realize until people here were like, "Hey, what's what's wrong with your arm and then I looked and I was like, I don't know. Is that like an ingrown hair?" No, it looks like a bite. And I think it was a spider bite. I put a picture up of it on uh on social media and I said, you know, does anybody recognize what this looks like? Most people thought that it looked like a spider bite, but a couple of people said it looked like a bat bite. And like I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I got bit by a bat. Spider. It's possible I was sleeping in bed. Spider bit me. You know there there's a variety of ways you can get bit by a spider and not realize it until you start sticking to the walls and you know knowing about crimes before they happen. But I had you know none of that. I I was not shooting any web. Although, you know, depends on which Spider-Man mythology you believe in. But none of that was happening. So, I didn't think it was a spider bite at first, but that became the more likely suspect because none of the other stuff made sense. I'm pretty sure if I got bit by a bat, I would know it. And somebody was trying to convince me, "Oh, no, you can get bit by a bat and not even feel it." I'm like, "I know, but I would realize that there was a bat." If a bat landed on me and bit me, I would see that. If it happened in my sleep, that meant that the bat was stuck under my covers. I would realize that. So, I think it was a spider, which I always have a very weird reaction to spider bites anyway. I get very sluggish and tired and and I had some of those symptoms. So, I think that that was probably the case. But be careful when you're out there. You never know what little thing could jump on you and make your life hell. All right. 5089960500. I got to get a break in here. We will be back in a few moments. Let me see here. Get this ready. And uh yeah, stick around. You're listening to WBSM. Don't be assigned home healthcare.

And you know, when you go to a used car lot and you're looking at some of the cars that are around, what what do you think are one of the quickest moving cars off a used car lot, you would think it's like, you know, when they get something sporty in, when they get something super cool in, you know, the Mustangs, the Chargers, the Corvettes, all that stuff. And and yeah, people do have an interest in those. But you know what really moves quickly are the Hondas because Hondas are very popular vehicles because they they're affordable. They get great gas mileage. They're pretty easy to maintain. People love driving them. But again, it's it's the value you get for your dollar with a Honda that makes them so popular.

[music] It's election day in California and five other [music] states. Baltimore's Key Bridge lawsuit is on pause and no new trial for Bill Cosby. [music] From the Cottage Street Motors WBSM newsroom, this is [music] WBSM News. A federal judge is delaying indefinitely the civil trial over the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. The case was set to begin yesterday, but both sides agreed to pause the proceedings after a series of major settlements and new legal questions about the remaining claims. Judge James Brader instead gave attorneys another month to submit arguments on whether any of those claims can move forward. The lawsuit centers on whether the ship's owner and operator can limit their financial liability for the 2024 disaster that killed six construction workers. The candidates in the Los Angeles mayor's race are making a final push as voters prepare to head to the polls today. The race has garnered national attention since reality TV star Spencer Pratt started getting some traction in the polls. The Republican though still trails. Two Democratic candidates, incumbent mayor Karen Bass and city council member Nithia Ramen. Other primaries happening in five other states as well. Today, voters head to the polls in Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, and California, where the race for Los Angeles mayor and governor have garnered plenty of national attention. Democrat Javier Bera held a campaign rally in Long Beach over the weekend where he touted his experience. I am not learning this job on day one. I have done this job. I'm Lisa Carton. A new chief of the US Border Patrol has been named. US Customs and Border Protection says Rosario Pete Vasquez will take over the role after Mike Banks stepped down last month. Banks had served in the role since the start of President Trump's second term last year. In a release, Vasquez called his appointment the honor of a lifetime, adding that he was grateful for the trust placed in him by the president, Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. Vasquez went on to say that his focus is on support for the agents, strengthening operational capabilities, and ensuring the US Border Patrol remains the most effective border security force in the world. A Utah judge is denying a defense request to close an upcoming hearing for Charlie Kirk's accused murderer. Yesterday, the judge in Provo ruled again in favor of the right of public and media access to court proceedings for Tyler Robinson. The 23-year-old is accused of fatally shooting Kirk in September at Utah Valley University, and prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. An experimental drug is nearly doubling survival rates for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. This is a new medicine that blocks a really critical part of how pancreatic cancer grows. Dr. Brian Walpen of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute led the studies for the drug called Duraxin Rasib. Those studies found that patients with spreading pancreatic cancer who took the drug after allegedly going through chemotherapy lived more than 13 months compared with 6.7 months for those who received more chemo. Researchers say the drug blocks a mutation that causes cancer cells to grow out of control. The findings are published in the New England Journal of Medicine. A judge has denied Bill Cosby a new trial after a woman won nearly a $60 million verdict over the spring. Her lawsuit alleged that the actor comedian sexually abused her more than 50 years ago while she was a server at a restaurant in Salelo. Donna Mott Singer contended in her sexual battery lawsuit that Cosby drugged and raped her. On March 23rd, a jury in Santa Monica awarded her 19.25 million in compensatory damages and 40 million in punitive damages for a total of just over $59 million. I'm Tammy Trillo. It's often said the show must go on, but the Freedom 250 concert planned for the nation's 250th anniversary might be an exception. President Trump now suggesting the event scheduled for next month be cancelled entirely. This after several musical artists backed out of the National Mall's Great American State Fair. He posted to Truth Social over the weekend that there should be a Make America Great Again rally instead of a concert featuring what he called overpriced, boring acts who do nothing but complain. We are a fast nation with our phones, but it turns out your reply time isn't really about you. The average person responds to a text message within 90 seconds. Psychology Today says instant responders are perceived as caring, attentive, and highly available. Delayed responders show a lack of interest, and people who don't respond at all are thought to be scattered. But that's not necessarily the case. After studying response times, psychologists say we respond faster to people we like. I'm Bri Tennis. [music] WBSM Sports. The Baltimore Orioles visit Fenway Park with the Red Sox tonight.

And when you think about it, there's, you know, there's there's probably a little bit of pop culture history made every single day. And someday somebody's going to look back at the time that we live in and consider this a retro time period. Remember in 2026 when everybody was losing their minds because a meteor created a sonic boom? Remember in Remember in 2026 when people were like shocked that aliens existed? That's what they're going to be saying like 20 30 years from now. Well, the aliens are living among us. But we've had plenty of movies that warned us about that that that told us what it would be like. Remember that remember that TV show and movie Alien Nation? Anyway, 5089960500 app chat and openline voicemails on the WBSM app. I I thought we had a very interesting report there in the news at 7:30. They were talking about the fact that people on average answer a question uh answer a question, answer a call that they receive pretty quickly or they respond to a text rather within 90 seconds of receiving it, but that they choose to respond to people they like faster than others. And listen, most of the time I'm trying to respond to people in in a timely manner, but if I'm doing something else, I'll say, "Okay, I'll I'll respond to that when I get a chance." If I'm driving or if I'm somewhere, if I'm out somewhere or doing something, and then I inevitably forget. What I have a a habit of doing a lot too is if you message me and I can't respond right away, or if I I'm like, "Oh, now I can't I can't get into a back and forth right now." What I'll do is I'll just leave the notification on my phone and wait to check it until I have a moment. So, you might like text me with uh oh my god, you know, uh my hair is on fire. And then the next line might be, I hope you get this quickly. And then I'm only going to see that second line. So, I'll be like, oh yeah, I'll get to it. And I'll miss the total I'll totally miss the first part that said, "Oh, yeah, my hair is on fire." Oh, sorry. Sorry. I was uh was busy. But I'm definitely guilty of, you know, having every intention of getting back to somebody and then forgetting to. And there are times that sometimes I don't respond to people at that in that moment because I know it's going to be a back and forth and I just say, "Ah, [sighs] [gasps] not right now." But that's because I'm going to be doing something that's going to distract me from it. And I don't want you to feel like I'm ignoring you, which I kind of am. But that's what's made the whole cell phone culture interesting is before when you called somebody, you know, they usually answered the phone. Then we got into the answering machine era and the voicemail era where people didn't feel the need to answer the phone anymore. They would screen their calls. And now we have basically the perfect equivalent of screening calls because we know exactly who it is most of the time. We don't even need to play the message. And depending on what phone and what service you have, the message might even just appear as a as a print out on your screen. You don't even have to listen to it. So, we definitely have the most technology we've ever had to help us ignore the people that we want to ignore. And I've tried everything to, you know, make sure certain people can get through. Even if it's even if it's a a time that I'm busy, like I still, you know, I want to make sure like if my parents call, it's an emergency. I want them to be able to get through and it just never works out. Sorry, I missed it. Sorry. My dad actually called me with something pretty important. recently and uh it was when I was on the vineyard and he's like, "Are you busy?" I was like, "Well, I'm at a bar [laughter] on Martha's Vineyard. What's up?" And proceeded to have that conversation with him while I was sitting at the bar. Nobody could hear me anyway because they were all so loud. But that was one of those situations where normally I might be like, "Oh, I'll call them back when I'm out when I leave here." But I'm glad that I did because it was kind of an emergency. So, are you like that? Are you somebody who responds right away or are you somebody who says, "I'll get to it when I get to it," or, "I'll get to it when I want to get to it." 508996500. Or if you're afraid to let people hear your voice, you can just uh send a Snapchat message on the WBSM app. All right, I got to get a break in here.

Somebody brought one back and they say, "Well, this is mostly full. We'll just put this in the cage and somebody can grab that one." No, this time, you know, you're getting a full 20 pounds. You just leave your empty tank outside and they'll replace it with a full one. And if you want them to connect it to your grill, they can do that as well.
