Holly absolutely loves this final story of the day -- The Salt Lake Tribune reports that one of the most popular children's shows on Netflix -- Cocomelon -- will soon be available in American Sign Language. And it's all thanks to two Utahns. Holly shares why she's excited for this story and then shares her fun facts of the day; Greg finishes with his closing arguments.

The Supreme Court will take up a case in the next term dealing with excessive fines. At the heart of the issue is this question: should transporting a six-pack of beer to a dry county via plane... result in the seizure of the plane? We know many of our listeners might not drink beer -- that's not entirely the point of this case. But it does bring up some really interesting questions about unreasonable seizures and fines. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the case to Holly.

Utahns are trying to bridge the gaps often seen between rural and urban Utah, especially when it comes to things like healthcare and food. Yesterday, we learned about several programs aimed at helping improve and build up healthcare and emergency services in rural communities. Today, we're learning about an expanded program to help with food insecurity. We hear part of the announcement today, and Inside Sources Executive Producer Andy Cupp joins Greg and Holly to describe more of the issues that face rural communities.

It's a heartwarming development to such a sad story -- Utahns are stepping up to support the lone daughter left after five members of her family were killed in a flash flood in Wayne County. Donations have been pouring in for Lydia Vernon -- the daughter of Katrina Long, the woman killed in the flash flood incident. And today, the family of Katrina -- including her husband Provo Fire Captain Spencer Long -- will be transported from the Utah Medical Examiner's Office to the funeral home in Utah County. Greg and Holly share updates on both developments.

Fireworks restrictions are back on for the Pioneer Day holiday. Well... kind of. Unlike the 4th of July -- which saw a more blanket ban statewide -- Governor Cox says he'll leave it mostly up to the cities themselves this time around. However, the governor did say he thinks people in Northern Utah should avoid fireworks. But with each city left to do its own thing, could this spell some additional troubles? This fireworks season, we've been speaking with the President of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, Bountiful Mayor Kate Bradshaw, about the restrictions. She joins us again to react to this latest announcement.

President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran following the deaths of three American servicemembers this weekend. One of those soldiers has been revealed to be a graduate student at Southern Utah University, 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan. Inside Sources spends some time talking about Feehan and how SUU will honor him. Retired Marine Colonel "Burner" Dunn also joins the show to share his own expertise on the escalations in the Middle East.

A man in Carbon County fell to his death while trying to find a woman who's been missing in the mountains for several months. Now, law enforcement is asking that people do not self-deploy to assist independently in search and rescue operations. And for Utahns -- who often want to step in and help -- this can be a hard ask. So how can people actually help in search and rescue missions? Scott Hammond, long-time member of the Utah County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team and Utah State University professor, joins the conversation.

Several families are out of their homes this morning, after a series of small brush fires spread into neighborhoods near the train tracks in Roy. Crews battled the flames -- which were spread out over a 1.5-mile stretch -- for several hours yesterday. Officials believe a passing train may have thrown off sparks from its brakes, causing the small fires that rapidly spread through the dry grass and brush.

Residents living near the Beaver River woke up to new flash flood warnings this morning, just a few days after devastating floods swept through the area. Mud and debris continue to make their way down from the Cottonwood Fire burn scar, prompting county officials to declare a local state of emergency. We hear the commissioners make the declaration, and Greg and Holly discuss the continued threat of floods and the way the community's already trying to rebuild.

Think you have a pretty good mac-and-cheese? One Utah woman thought so, and now she's competing on national TV. Inside Sources discusses the owner of Utah's "Hey Grill Hey" and her recent appearance on The Food Network's Pitmaster competition.

Is it time for Utah's capital city to get a new nickname? Some new branding to better promote the area? Visit Salt Lake thinks so, so now they're launching a new marketing campaign labelling Salt Lake City as "America's Mountain City." Take that, Denver -- aka the "Mile-High City!" Greg and Holly read listener suggestions on what nickname SLC should take for future marketing campaigns. Inside Sources executive producer Andy Cupp also joins the conversation.

It could be the very first case of its kind in the United States -- a BYU student's boyfriend has been sentenced for manslaughter after his abuse preceded his girlfriend's suicide. An article on the story caught Holly's eye over the weekend, so she sits down with KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas to discuss the nuances of the case.

Amid the annual Days of '47 cattle drive today, Governor Spencer Cox announced a new kind of hybrid fireworks restriction policy for the Pioneer Day holiday. The governor said there will be different kinds of restrictions depending on the area -- that some areas of the state have received enough monsoonal moisture to warrant easing restrictions. But in other areas -- like along the Wasatch Front -- the governor said stricter restrictions are necessary.

The tech industry is finding itself in a bit of a panic thanks to artificial intelligence. Some of the biggest winners in that industry say we may be in for a bit of a reckoning thanks to technology that's evolving way too fast. Amid all of that, the state of Utah is trying to take a more proactive approach to AI policy, making sure it protects our children while also ensuring that Utah stays on the front lines of technological advancements. Jefferson Moss and Margaret Busse, co-chairs of Utah's Pro-Human AI task force, join Greg and Holly for a discussion.

The War in Iran has claimed the lives of an additional three American military service members. Now, several media outlets are asking the question: "Is the conflict in Iran teetering on all-out war?" Greg and Holly get updates on the situation from NewsNation and share their thoughts on how this war continues to stretch on with no real end in sight.

Despite what years of experience and evidence show us, Senator Mike Lee is once again going after mail-in voting. He says that it "should not survive much longer" except for a few exceptions. It's just the latest in a series of moves by Republicans this year to change how the country votes. Joining Inside Sources for this discussion is Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux.

As rural Utah sees more and more visitors every year -- and as Mother Nature takes her toll in the forms of fires and flooding -- existing services in the area can be stretched thin. A program within the Utah Department of Health and Human Services aims to provide more support, funding, and resources to ensure that these small communities that make up the heart of Utah are able to help both their own neighbors and the many visitors who frequent our great outdoors. Director of the Rural Health Transformation Program Krisann Humphreys joins Greg and Holly to explain.

It was a heartbreaking weekend of deadly wild weather across the state. Flash flooding in Wayne County is suspected of killing five family members who were out camping, hiking, and rappelling near Bicknell. The same storm system forced water and mud down the mountain and into the town of Beaver. Much of the debris came from the Cottonwood Fire burn scar and even closed I-15 for a few hours. KSL-TV's Alex Cabrero is on the scene in Beaver and explains what things look like as the sun rises. KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins the show to give an update on the forecast -- unfortunately, more wet weather is in store for the Beaver area. Then we hear from friends of Katrina and Spencer Long, two parents killed in flash flooding while camping near Bicknell.

We're always looking for ways to stay young, healthy, and beautiful. But the so-called "fountain of youth"... could be in your neighborhood movie theater. So maybe it's actually the "soda fountain of youth?" A new study published this week in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health says engaging in cultural experiences like going to the movies or visiting a museum could be linked to slower physiological aging. Greg and Holly discuss and are then joined by the KSL Movie Show hosts Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth to discuss the big movie of the week: The Odyssey.

Get ready for a fun edition of "Hot-take Holly." Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth now says that military service members 30 and older will get testosterone testing as part of their physicals. If the numbers are too low -- whatever that means -- they'll get some gender-affirming care in the form of testosterone replacement therapy. Dr. Rosemary Lesser, an Air Force veteran, former Utah State Representative, and retired physician, joins to share her military and medical expertise.

Some lawmakers back east appear to be blowing smoke today. Well… and they're inhaling it too. Wildfires in Canada have pushed a lot of smoke across the Midwest and Northeast, and lawmakers are mad. In fact, many are calling on Canada to do more to control the smoke. That has Greg and Holly wondering just what on Earth Canada is supposed to do… install some giant fans or something?

A well-decorated female soccer star from Utah is the center of a new apology after Real Salt Lake posted a celebration on social media for her husband, former NFL player JJ Watt. Even though RSL is a soccer team -- and Kealia Ohai Watt was in the picture with JJ -- she wasn't even mentioned. This caused JJ to post on social media, calling on RSL to rethink their original post. Now, RSL is apologizing for an honest mistake.
