World Cup Red Card Drama, Sony Ditches Discs & KSL's Data Center Deep Dive

We kick off with three things you need to know — including a Fourth of July firework and fire update, water-wise landscaping saving millions of gallons at the new Utah State Prison, and more. Then we break down the controversial World Cup red card reversal for the U.S. team and what actually happened on the field. We ask whether leisure actually makes us happy (spoiler: often not), and react to Sony's announcement that it will stop making physical PlayStation discs in January 2028 — a move that has gamers fired up.

Plus, back-to-school bargain hunting is already underway, and we look at whether EV batteries are outlasting expectations. KSL Investigative Reporter Daniella Rivera joins us in studio to preview part of KSL’s special series, "Beyond Box Elder — The Bet on Data Centers," which takes viewers inside Virginia's Loudoun County, the data center capital of the world, for lessons on what's coming to Utah.
