  by food delivery scooters, leading to a potential

• 3:07
  better pedestrian safety measures. Flynn stated,
• 3:11
  pedestrians are in the crosswalk, and they're

  scooter driving 30 miles an hour right through
• 3:19
  a red light. He filed an amended ordinance to

  ban mopeds and e -bikes from third -party food
• 3:26
  delivery, emphasizing the need for a collaborative

  the New York Jets and was taken to a local hospital
• 4:26
  for further evaluation. Coach Mike McDaniel stated
• 4:30
  he has heard good things about any potential
• 4:33
  nerve damage to Hill's knee. The Dolphins will
• 4:36
  need to replicate Hill's production as they look
• 4:39
  to rebound from a 1 -3 start to the season in
• 4:43
  local sports. Last night in New York, the Red

  Morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 8:24
  Let's talk science. Are mosquitoes attracted
• 8:27
  to beer drinkers? Scientists conducted research
• 8:31
  at a music festival to find out. Their study
• 8:35
  examined how beer, sunscreen, diet and other
• 8:38
  factors correlate with mosquito attraction. Findings
• 8:42
  suggest that certain behaviors, such as drinking
• 8:45
  beer and avoiding sunscreen, may increase susceptibility
• 8:49
  to bites. While not yet peer -reviewed, this
• 8:53
  is the largest study to investigate the impact
• 8:55
  of hygiene and intoxication on mosquito preferences.
• 9:00
  Understanding mosquito attraction is crucial
• 9:02
  as they spread deadly diseases like malaria and
• 9:06
  dengue. Researchers found that participants who
• 9:10
  drank alcohol or did not use sunscreen were more
• 9:13
  likely to attract mosquitoes. Avoiding beer or
• 9:17
  certain social habits may not reliably prevent
• 9:20
  bites, so protective measures remain essential.
• 9:28
  In the new crime comedy, Bad Man, John William
• 9:33
  Scott takes center stage as Special Agent Bobby
• 9:36
  Gaines, who arrives in the tiny town of Colt
• 9:39
  Lake, Tennessee, to handle a murder case. The
• 9:43
  film, which surprisingly blends humor with crime,
• 9:46
  features a local cop, Sam Evans and his deputy,
• 9:49
  who struggle to keep up with Gaines' unorthodox
• 9:52
  methods. The screenplay, while predictable toward
• 9:55
  the end, showcases quirky characters and sharp
• 9:59
  dialogue that add flavor. Directed by Michael
• 10:02
  DiLiberti, Batman will be available on digital
• 10:05
  platforms starting September 22nd. Well, alrighty
• 10:10
  folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
• 10:14
  today, our quote comes from the American conservationist
• 10:18
  and author, John Muir. And he said, in every
• 10:22
  walk with nature, one receives far more than
• 10:25
  he seeks. And that's a wrap for this morning.
