What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNewsday's Greenport food crawl, with oysters, ramen and small-town cooking, is on the menu, and the editor rated its importance one out of five.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOne out of five! That's the kind of honesty you want from an editor and from an oyster.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a lean, focused, low-pressure story, and I respect that it knows exactly what it is.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo here's my weekend plan: three stops, one oyster each, and a ramen finale, for fun dining ideas.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd it goes wrong when you order the ramen first and can't finish the oysters.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a rookie mistake, and I'm a rookie.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCBS News says the More Than Pink Walk for breast cancer awareness kicked off at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo Center.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGreat weekend plan: lace up, walk, and cheer every single person like it's the fourth quarter.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMine goes wrong because I'd bring a vision board to a walk, and lugging it the whole way would exhaust me before we even start.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNow the forecast, and I'm briefing this like a landing. Miami is eighty-six and cloudy now, with fifty-eight percent rain tomorrow, high eighty-one, low seventy-three.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRain on a walk is just the sky joining in.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe sky is not joining anyone, Vera.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNew York is fifty-two now, tomorrow clear, high fifty-seven, low thirty-six, zero percent rain, wind twenty-two kilometers an hour.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorZero percent! That's a blockbuster trailer!

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistChicago, clear, high fifty-nine, low thirty-seven. Los Angeles, cloudy, high eighty-eight, low sixty-four, two percent rain. Stand down.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe New York Times says artificial intelligence and smart glasses are reshaping the fashion industry, including robot models on the runway.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRobot models! They never miss a pose, never miss a practice.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Times says the audiences are skeptical, so I assume the glasses came with a statement about listening.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistMy weekend plan is a walk in the clear weather, alone, and a one out of five day.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorConfession: I'm spending Saturday editing my podcast, and somehow the audience stays skeptical anyway.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm doing the crawl, the walk, and the glasses, and I'll put the glasses on the oysters.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe oysters won't look back, mate.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRate your weekends, chat, and send them in.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm giving mine a one out of five, and it's my best-reviewed plan yet.
