On today's show, Brad Hiatt, an entomologist at Audubon Insectarium, joins Scoot to explain what role mosquitos play in local ecosystems. Slidell is considering ending its ban on drive-thru alcohol sales. In a state where drive-thru daiquiri shops are part of the culture, is this just Louisiana being Louisiana?

And Dr. Nick Gilpin, PhD, Professor of Physiology and Director of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center of Excellence at LSU Health New Orleans, to talk about the difference between driving under the influence of alcohol versus driving under the influence of THC products.
