This is the All Local 4:00 p.m. update for Friday, May 29, 2026.

Another gorgeous day with a high of 75° and plenty of sunshine! Big weekend ahead with my 50th Birthday party tomorrow night, Big Bikes on Saturday, and on Sunday…my wife & I attend our first parade as Oktoberfest Grenadiers! Busy, busy, busy! We started the morning off with the OG "Thursday Song"….along with Pat McCurdy's brief cover of the original. We asked each other hypothetical questions for "Hypothetical Thursday". Brian's question for Jean was: "Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?" Jean's question for Brian was: "What is on your bucket list?" And Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on the Hantavirus cruise ship, another cruise ship in France is dealing with a stomach-flu outbreak, Alex Murdaugh is getting a new trial, a Wisconsin babysitter who left several children in a hot car while getting her nails done gets a plea deal, and the latest on the Watertown school board decision. In sports, the Brewers blew a stellar start by the Miz & lost to the Padres last night. And speaking of the Miz, he once again left the game with some cramping. We talked about last night's NBA & NHL Playoff action and looked at the upcoming schedules. The Royals & White Sox game last night got delayed when a fan fell into the bullpen. And speaking of schedules, the NFL dumped out a bunch of it's games yesterday…ahead of tonight's official schedule release. We discussed what's on TV today/tonight and also looked at Netflix's upfront presentation of it's new stuff. An ice cream truck in Massachusetts is going viral for being kind to children(that's all it takes?). Elsewhere in sports, the Maple Leafs fired their head coach, Katherine Legge is trying for a two-fer, The Big Dumper breaks his hitless streak after showering in his uniform, the NJ Transit prices for the World Cup continue to come down, and the Enhanced Games are coming up next weekend! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who allegedly found a dead rat in his Monster Energy can, a family that claims they can't leave their house because of a swarm of bees, a dad in Pennsylvania who got arrested for leaving his kid in the car while he played Spooky Spins at a convenience store, and a woman who stole a bottle of wine by shoving it into one of her body cavities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bobby's celebrates because his Boston Celtics beat Jay's 76ers in the NBA playoffs. Jay had a party at his house to watch the game and the loss put a damper of the festivities. | Driving to the studio, Jay was cut off by a New Jersey bus and had a confrontation on highway with the driver. | The new artwork for Skankfest X shows the performing comedians in different vampire scenarios. Bobby is disappointed yet again with the artist's portrayal of him.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gary flies solo this morning as Eric takes some time off. We begin this hour with Sen. Chuck Schumer calling for FIFA to cover the full rail cost for New Yorkers attending the World Cup as NJ Transit train ticket prices are set for $150 to get to MetLife Stadium for matches. Schumer released a statement on Sunday calling on FIFA to pay the full fair which is astronomically higher than the regular cost to travel from Penn Station to the Meadowlands, while understanding that "FIFA is set to rake in approximately $11 billion in revenue off the tournament while New York fans are being hit with $150 NJ Transit round-trip tickets to get to the game." MetLife Stadium will host eight matches during the World Cup, including the final on July 19. The usual price is $12.90 for the Meadowlands train from Penn Station, but it will rise to $150 beginning June 13 and ending July 19. Also Harvard's grade inflation experiment gets an "F", Bill Maher confronts Rahm Emanual on education, Democrats need a white man to "sell" their insanity, former astronaut Mark Kelly uses his "space credentials" to get his point across on school vouchers and Eric Swalwell's frivolous spending of campaign dollars.

This Day in Legal History: Boston MassacreOn March 5, 1770, a confrontation between British soldiers and American colonists in Boston turned deadly in what became known as the Boston Massacre. Tensions had been rising for months as British troops occupied the city to enforce parliamentary taxes that many colonists believed were unjust. On that evening, a crowd gathered near the Boston Custom House and began taunting a British sentry, shouting insults and throwing snowballs and debris. As the situation escalated, additional soldiers arrived to support the guard, but the crowd continued to press in. In the confusion and fear of the moment, the soldiers fired into the crowd. Five colonists were killed and several others were wounded, including Crispus Attucks, who is often remembered as the first casualty of the American Revolution.The incident quickly became a flashpoint in colonial politics, with patriot leaders using it as evidence of British tyranny. Yet the legal response that followed was notable for its commitment to due process despite intense public anger. British Captain Thomas Preston and eight soldiers were arrested and charged with murder. Future president John Adams agreed to defend the soldiers, arguing that the rule of law required even deeply unpopular defendants to receive a fair trial. During the proceedings, Adams emphasized the evidence suggesting the soldiers had been surrounded and threatened by a hostile crowd. The jury ultimately acquitted six soldiers and convicted two of the lesser charge of manslaughter.The trials demonstrated an early American commitment to the principle that legal judgments should be guided by evidence rather than public pressure, even during moments of political upheaval.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New Jersey cannot use sovereign immunity to protect New Jersey Transit from personal injury lawsuits filed by riders injured outside the state. The unanimous opinion, written by Sonia Sotomayor, resolved a conflict between the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the New York Court of Appeals over whether the transit agency qualifies as an “arm of the state.” The dispute arose from two lawsuits filed by passengers injured in NJ Transit bus crashes that occurred outside New Jersey.The justices focused heavily on how the agency was structured. During oral argument, several members of the Court questioned why New Jersey created NJ Transit as a corporation with the ability to sue and be sued while also disclaiming responsibility for its debts. Some justices suggested those design choices undermined the state's argument that the agency should receive sovereign immunity protections.New Jersey's lawyers argued that the agency's independence is largely formal and that the governor maintains significant control over the system. They also warned that allowing such lawsuits could subject the state to litigation in other states' courts. However, the Court appeared unconvinced by those arguments and emphasized that the plaintiffs were private individuals seeking compensation rather than other states trying to regulate New Jersey.The ruling ultimately sided with the New York court's earlier decision and overturned the Pennsylvania ruling, allowing the personal injury lawsuits to proceed.Supreme Court Rejects NJ Immunity Defense In NY, Pa. SuitsRegulators are increasingly focusing on dynamic or algorithmic pricing, a practice that uses personal data—such as location, browsing history, and purchasing behavior—to set individualized prices for consumers. The approach has raised concerns among privacy and consumer protection regulators because it relies on large amounts of personal data and may affect price transparency. Although grocery pricing has drawn the most attention, the practice is also used in industries like travel, financial services, and online retail.The Federal Trade Commission has been studying the issue but has not clearly stated whether dynamic pricing violates any specific federal law. In 2024, the agency issued subpoenas to companies that develop pricing algorithms to learn how they collect consumer data, train their systems, and influence the prices consumers see. A preliminary research summary released in 2025 confirmed that these tools rely heavily on consumer data and can adjust prices in real time, but it did not identify specific legal violations.While the federal approach remains uncertain, state regulators are taking more direct action. The office of Rob Bonta, the California attorney general, launched an investigative sweep in January 2026 to examine how companies use consumer data to personalize prices. Investigators sent letters to retailers, grocery stores, and hotels requesting information about pricing algorithms, data sources, and disclosures to consumers.Meanwhile, the New York Attorney General's Office is investigating companies' compliance with the state's new Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act. The law requires businesses to clearly inform consumers when prices are generated using algorithms that rely on their personal data. Regulators have warned that disclosures hidden behind hyperlinks may not satisfy the law's requirement that notices be clear and conspicuous.Other states are considering similar legislation, including proposals targeting surveillance-based pricing or banning dynamic pricing in certain industries. As scrutiny increases, companies that use personalized pricing tools are being urged to review their data practices, pricing disclosures, and compliance with emerging state privacy laws.Amidst uncertainty from FTC, states zero in on dynamic and algorithmic pricing | ReutersThe U.S. civilian federal workforce decreased by about 12% between September 2024 and January 2026, according to newly released government data. The reductions reflect efforts by Donald Trump's administration to shrink federal agencies, a policy he promoted as a way to reduce government size and increase efficiency.Several major departments experienced significant staffing losses. The U.S. Department of the Treasury saw its workforce drop by roughly 24%, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lost about 20% of its employees during the same period. These reductions represent some of the largest declines across federal agencies.One notable exception was the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which slightly increased its workforce by less than 1%.

We're in New York City for the marathon weekend, and it was chaotic from the moment we arrived. Our first day involved navigating a disgusting NJ Transit (complete with a bucket of marinara on the floor) and heading straight to the formal Katherine Switzer Awards. We felt incredibly awkward and uncomfortable in our dress clothes, which leads into Erin's clothing nightmare, involving an intimidating J.Crew employee named Judy who yelled at her for picking oversized clothes and shoes that were accidentally mailed to the wrong state. Erin interviews Peloton's Rebecca Kennedy, who surprised her by knowing who she was and shared her most embarrassing story. On marathon day, we braved the subway, complained about the terrible new "rat piss tracking app" , and got a surprise visit from Dan and the kids , who rated NYC a "1 out of 10". We also decided to hand out pizza again, even after discovering another group allegedly stole our idea. Getting four pies to mile 25 was a "war zone" that required us to scale walls and hike through the woods. Our friend "Chick-fil-A Josh" saved us by finding a secret tunnel and a new spot where we ran out of all four boxes in 15 minutes. We finish the night at the finish line cheering on the last runners.

The Gateway Program is a $16 billion project to build new tunnels under the Hudson River to improve service for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. But as the project prepares to break ground, they have uncovered some mysterious — and some historically illuminating — obstacles, including a totally unaccounted for staircase to nowhere, pig bones from the Meatpacking District's meatpacking days, and a bevy of wires, cables, and other infrastructure dreamed up by the engineers of yesteryear. Stephen Nessen, transit reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about the discoveries, and how Gateway crews will have to work around these buried treasures from the past.
