Good Morning! On this day in 1790, French immigrants arrived along the Ohio River to establish Gallipolis. The community’s name means “City of the Gauls.”

🥶 Much of Ohio could get an early taste of frost tonight as temperatures dip to their lowest levels of the season. See the latest forecast in Top Stories.

Some of the most trusted drinks in your fridge have a health reputation they never earned. That reputation shapes what you pour at breakfast, grab after a workout, and hand to your kids, yet most people don’t check the label. The gaps are bigger than you’d think, including a “gut health” brand that paid millions to settle a lawsuit over its claims and a glass toasted as heart-healthy for 30 years. So how many are in your fridge right now? On today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast, Amy goes in depth to count down the 10 worst drinks that sound healthy but aren’t. Tune in here!

Flying cars are getting closer to everyday life, and today’s sponsor, Doroni, is giving investors a chance to get involved. With a share price change coming after October 22, there’s still time to invest at the current price. Get the details below.

Buckeyes, Hoosiers Clash in Top-5 Showdown

No. 4 Ohio State (5-1) visits No. 5 Indiana (6-0) today as a 3.5-point favorite in what has been billed as the biggest home game in Hoosiers history.

Indiana snapped a 30-game skid against the Buckeyes with a 13-10 win in last year’s Big Ten Championship Game and enters on a 22-game winning streak. Ohio State still leads the all-time series 80-13-5.

The Ohio State offense will likely rely on star receiver Jeremiah Smith, who was named a midseason All-American this week. Smith leads all Power 4 receivers with 916 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he needs just two more scoring catches to claim the Big Ten career record.

Ohio State’s banged-up offensive line, which allowed five sacks in last year’s loss, faces an Indiana defense giving up just 2.3 yards per carry. The Buckeyes’ secondary must also slow receivers Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh.

Kings Island Keeps Two Coasters Closed

Kings Island’s Orion and Diamondback roller coasters will stay closed until further notice after a deadly accident on a similar ride in Georgia, park President Tony Carovillano said Friday.

A 42-year-old man fell to his death Monday from Six Flags Over Georgia’s Goliath coaster, which relied solely on a lap bar. Both Kings Island rides feature seat belts as a backup.

Six Flags has closed nine similar coasters across its parks while investigators work, a decision one Cincinnati theme park consultant called “the prudent, proper thing.”

Freeze Watch Covers Much of Ohio

The National Weather Service issued a freeze watch for dozens of counties across Ohio from tonight into Sunday morning, with lows that could dip into the lower 30s or upper 20s.

A blast of Canadian air could make today the coldest day in months across the Great Lakes, though sunshine should push temperatures near 60 by Sunday afternoon.

In Northeast Ohio, the season’s first freeze watch covers every county except Lake and lakeside Ashtabula, with forecasters warning the cold “could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation, and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.”

The Pentagon’s Got Their Eye on This Tech

One of the biggest indicators for forward-thinking investors is where the US government puts their money. They move first on the technology they know is going to shape the future.

First, they bet big on jet engines. Then drones. Now? It’s flying cars. This August, the U.S. Air Force just signed a $142M deal for a flying car company building five-seater fleets. But our nation’s defense can’t stop there. Our nation’s most covert operations need smaller, personal aircrafts. And Doroni, the company positioned to lead the $100B personal eVTOL category, aims to capture this opportunity.

Their flying car, the H1-X opens the skies to all members of the military. Their SOULAI platform is so intuitive, you can pilot their aircraft after 25 hours of training. And its patented ducted fan system is designed to be safer than competitors.

This is your chance to get in at the private stage. Invest in Doroni today at $3.30 share before the share price changes after 10/22.
