Which SEC football teams are headed for a shocking upset in 2026? On Episode 5 of The Connor O'Gara Show, Connor is joined by Ryan Brown to make bold SEC preseason predictions and identify the potential trap games that could turn the College Football Playoff race upside down. Could Florida stun Ole Miss in Gainesville one week after the Rebels' emotional showdown with LSU? Can Texas A&M walk into Tuscaloosa and defeat Alabama? Is Arkansas capable of upsetting Tennessee in Fayetteville? Connor also predicts that Oklahoma will become the SEC's ultimate “agent of chaos”—beating Georgia in Athens and Texas in the Red River Rivalry before somehow losing to Mississippi State in Starkville. Ryan explains why he views the Sooners as an 8-4 team rather than a legitimate playoff contender, while Connor questions whether quarterback John Mateer can withstand the physical demands of Oklahoma's brutal schedule. Connor and Ryan also discuss:

A targeted shooting spree across multiple East St. Louis locations leaves five family members dead and two wounded, resulting in the arrest of two teenage suspects. A Burnsville, Minnesota mother faces child torture charges after authorities uncover 100,000 text messages documenting horrific physical abuse meant to retaliate against the child's father. A University of Alabama senior and her coworker are found shot to death alongside a dog inside a Tuscaloosa home, leading to a four-hour standoff and the arrest of an armed fugitive.

Alabama football has a new name generating serious Heisman Trophy buzz: quarterback Keelon Russell. On today's live edition of The Next Round, we break down why Russell is being mentioned as one of the top dark-horse Heisman candidates entering the 2026 college football season. Can the highly touted Alabama quarterback win the starting job over Austin Mack in Kalen DeBoer's offense? If Russell becomes QB1 in Tuscaloosa, could his dynamic playmaking ability, explosive supporting cast, and comparisons to Jayden Daniels make him a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender?

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?

This week's Keepin' It Real comes from a place of real pain. Cam Marston reflects on the loss of two young men from his community, and a grief he says words can't quite reach. -----             "There are no words" is an expression often used to truly describe deep grief. It's a feeling in your gut, your stomach, that you notice only when the world around you is crumbling and those important to you are experiencing something truly awful. That's the way I feel now. A grief has set in and there are no words to describe this feeling.          Word came early today that two families we know lost their young sons last night in a fire. The news has spread through our community as it often does these days through text messages and quick phone calls. Parents want to know more. The children's friends want to know more. Everyone wants the story, wants to learn what happened, wants desperately to learn it's all untrue but every new text and call confirms it. Parents like me sit quietly, imagining the grief these families must be facing. I knew these boys. There were like our boys. We watched them on the football fields and basketball courts and saw their parents in the stands. My tears won't stop.          My first instinct was to call my son and hear his voice. He's in Tuscaloosa for the summer and I just needed to know he was Ok. I called repeatedly with no answer until finally, I heard my son's voice pick up and…I couldn't speak. Such gratefulness to hear him alive. And that these two deceased sons had parents who would do anything in their power to hear what I just heard from their own sons.          Our community is crashing right now. We've all been gutted with the news. All plans for the holiday weekend have been greatly dampened. There can be no celebration, Fourth of July or otherwise, with his awfulness in the forefront in our minds. Celebration is not a word that will come from our mouths or be a part of our actions for a long time to come.                   Losing a child is losing your future. It's losing stories and memories and cherished moments that were never given a chance. It's forever wondering what that child would have been like as an adult, a parent, an aunt or uncle. Never seeing their joy at their wedding, never seeing their humility and awe while holding their own newborn baby. Never witnessing their pride watching their own children succeed. Their death has robbed each of our lives and our community of two glorious young men and their future and we can only guess at what could have been.          In time we'll talk about the weather again. Or sports. Or our plans for an upcoming vacation. But no time soon. Our community will fall together and hope to find support from one another and, in turn, try to offer some sort of support to those around us that need it. What's happened is wrong. It's not fair. It's devastating. And it has brought all of us to our knees with a deep grief in the pit of our stomach that no words can describe.

The Alabama Crimson Tide reshape their recruiting strategy with a focus on smart money and roster retention amid changing eligibility rules with the newly instituted five years to play five. Can Nick Saban's legacy be sustained as Kalen DeBoer confronts powerhouse programs like Oregon and Miami in the NIL arms race? Brian Smith and Luke Robinson spotlight Bama's new approach, the significance of “five for five” classes, and why elite talents like Cedarian Morgan, E.J. Crowell, and Osani Gayles are central to the Crimson Tide's future. The conversation explores missed targets, the impact of transfer portal dynamics, and how players like Michael Carroll are choosing loyalty over bigger NIL offers. Insights into under-the-radar commits Tai Phillips and Nigel Newkirk, plus the allure of SEC traditions, set the stage for what's next in Tuscaloosa. Is Alabama's measured approach a blueprint for sustained SEC dominance, or will aggressive spending by rivals leave the Tide chasing from behind?

This episode features Christian Williams, owner of Sugo Italian Restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and a Ben E. Keith team member with a background spanning serving, food distribution sales at Sysco, and over a decade leading digital marketing for a global manufacturer. Christian traces his path from a $4.25/hour Subway job through eight years of serving to opening Sugo three years ago, and he's refreshingly candid about how little he understood restaurant ownership until he was "behind the checkbook" himself. The conversation digs into what actually separates surviving restaurants from failing ones today: ruthlessly protecting your time by automating the back office (scheduling, food costing) so you can focus on what grows the business, deeply understanding your local demographic, building authentic influencer and ambassador marketing, and constantly adapting your offerings, like Sugo's wildly popular "girl dinner", to solve real customer problems around price, portion size, and experience. It's a practical, energetic master class in modern restaurant marketing wrapped in an honest discussion of how hard the business has become.Ten Key Takeaways for Restaurant Owners1. You don't understand ownership until you're behind the checkbook. Christian was a top-three Sysco salesperson and a marketing executive, yet opening Sugo forced him to call former customers and apologize—every assumption about "the cheaper green bean" gets reevaluated once you're writing the checks.2. It's a business of pennies, and you can tank it fast. Even a restaurant doing millions in revenue can be sunk quickly by staff and operators who don't appreciate how small decisions compound.3. Automate the back office so you can work on the business. Use systems for scheduling and food costing (he named Schedulefly and Margin Edge) so you're not nickel-and-diming invoices by hand—your time belongs on growth, not data entry.4. Know your demographic better than anything else. In a college town that's 56% female, Sugo targets accordingly. In a rural meat-and-three town, stop trying to sell filet. The more you misread your audience, the more you struggle.5. Solve real customer problems with your menu. "Girl dinner"—small portions of pasta, salad, and fries plus a drink for $20—simultaneously solved price sensitivity, portion fatigue (including the GLP-1 effect), and the desire for a shareable experience.6. People buy the experience, not just the food. Guests come for "girl dinner" or to connect with friends, not for any single dish. Eye contact, a smile, reading the room, and genuine attention now matter more than ever.7. Influencer and ambassador marketing is the highest-ROI lever available. Comp a meal for micro-influencers, build relationships with sorority social chairs and event planners, and run an ambassador program where students promote you for a gift card. One mom's organic video hit 60,000 views.8. Authenticity is currency—kill the scripted content. Polished "look at my chicken parm" posts fall flat. Real, organic, unscripted reviews move the needle; fake influencer content is wasted money.9. If you're chasing, you're losing. Copycats piled onto "girl dinner" and failed; Sugo had already evolved it into pasta flights. Lead and keep innovating rather than ripping off competitors.10. Turn every problem into an opportunity—and lean into being local. Sports betting eating into spend? Run tournament specials and watch parties. Chains have scale, but they can't replicate intimate local knowledge—that's the independent's unbeatable advantage.

“I didn't want to be any attorney. I wanted to be a second chance attorney for our people,” Jade Mathis shares in a Detroit is Different conversation that moves from Black Bottom ancestry to courtroom advocacy and City Hall leadership. Jade's Detroit story begins with grandparents who migrated from Little Rock and Tuscaloosa during the Great Migration, met in Black Bottom, and built family roots on Dexter and Philadelphia, where her grandmother gardened, fed neighborhood children, and kept beauty alive on the block. Jade carries that same community care into her legal journey. After illness shifted her path from journalism to law, Jade pushed through LSAT setbacks, law school rejection, and taking the bar six times before becoming the attorney she promised God she would be. Her work included the Project Clean Slate, expungements, NAACP service, GED tutoring, and civil rights cases with Attorney Ben Crump traveling the nation, representing families struggling from police killings and fighting through litigation, protest, and grief. Now leading Detroit's Civil Rights, Inclusion & Opportunity Department, CRIO, Jade brings those lessons home: clean records, recognize grassroots leadership, defend rights, and make government answer to the people's future.

We're halfway through the first chapter in our sermon series through Colossians and Paul instructs the Church on who Christ is- Supreme. Christ is God, Lord, Author, Creator and before all things.

This Day in Legal History: Wallace Stands in the Schoolhouse DoorOn this day in 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace physically stood in the doorway of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to block the registration of Vivian Malone and James Hood, the two Black students whose enrollment had been ordered by a federal district court. Wallace's “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” was the culmination of a long campaign of state defiance of federal desegregation orders that ran from Brown v. Board in 1954 through Cooper v. Aaron in 1958 — the case in which a unanimous Supreme Court told the Little Rock school district, and by extension every state actor, that federal constitutional rulings are the supreme law of the land and that state officials may not nullify them.President Kennedy responded to Wallace's stand by issuing Executive Order 11111, which federalized the Alabama National Guard, and ordering Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach down to Tuscaloosa to confront the governor. Wallace gave a long speech invoking states' rights and Tenth Amendment sovereignty, then stepped aside, and Malone and Hood walked in and registered. That night, Kennedy went on national television and delivered the civil rights address that put the Civil Rights Act of 1964 onto the national agenda. The legal and political throughline matters: the schoolhouse door, the executive order federalizing the Guard, the televised address, and the omnibus civil rights legislation that followed were a single coordinated federal response to massive resistance, and the institutional habit they built — the willingness of the federal political branches to back federal court orders with whatever force is necessary — is the substrate on which the modern enforcement of civil rights law sits. Whether that habit holds up under contemporary pressure is one of the live constitutional questions of our moment.The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” saga we have been following all week reached at least a partial resolution on Wednesday when Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia declined to extend her temporary restraining order against the program into a preliminary injunction. The reason, in essence, is that the Justice Department has now formally represented to the court, in writing and through acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, that the $1.8 billion fund is “not going forward.” Brinkema took DOJ at its word for present purposes and dissolved the TRO, which under standard mootness doctrine is the right call when a defendant credibly commits to abandoning the challenged program. But she also did something practical: she warned the government in plain terms not to “play possum with this court,” language that gives the plaintiffs a built-in mechanism to come back fast if the fund quietly re-emerges under a different name.The substantive theory the plaintiffs were pressing — that the fund is an unappropriated expenditure of public money, that the underlying Trump-IRS settlement was a litigation in which the United States was never really adverse to the President in his personal capacity, and that the program's payout criteria are based on political characterizations of past prosecutions rather than any neutral standard — is now preserved for another day rather than litigated to judgment. The practical lesson is the durability of voluntary-cessation doctrine: a government defendant who is willing to abandon a program in court usually wins on mootness, but the cost is real, because future revivals get scrutinized against the prior representation. Watch the Federal Register and the DOJ component-level budget submissions for the next six months — if there is a successor program coming, those are where the first signal appears.Judge declines to halt “anti-weaponization fund” since Blanche says it's dead, but warns DOJ not to “play possum” | CBS NewsA coalition of environmental and tribal-nation plaintiffs filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday seeking to block a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved land exchange that would transfer 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX, in return for 683 acres of privately owned land elsewhere. The plaintiffs are the Center for Biological Diversity, Save RGV, the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas, and the South Texas Environmental Justice Network.The legal theory of the case is unusually multi-statute: the complaint alleges violations of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act, with the central administrative-law argument being that the Fish and Wildlife Service's environmental analysis failed to grapple seriously with impacts on endangered ocelots, aplomado falcons, and a long list of migratory species whose habitat the refuge was designed to protect when Congress created it in 1979. The plaintiffs describe this as one of the largest national-wildlife-refuge land exchanges outside Alaska, and the suit asks for vacatur of the exchange decision rather than damages — the standard APA remedy.The political and infrastructural backdrop is hard to miss: SpaceX's Starbase facility at Boca Chica has been expanding into the Lower Rio Grande Valley for years now, and the exchange would consolidate the company's footprint on land previously held for the protection of one of the last remaining ocelot ranges in the country. The merits of the case will turn on the rigor of the FWS environmental analysis. Expect a request for a preliminary injunction within weeks.Lawsuit challenges Trump administration's land swap with SpaceX in Texas | The Washington PostA Los Angeles County jury on Wednesday added $22 million in punitive damages to the $176 million compensatory verdict already entered against socialite and former philanthropist Rebecca Grossman and former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson, bringing the total civil award to the Iskander family to roughly $198 million.The underlying facts of the case are stark: in September 2020, Grossman and Erickson left a Westlake Village restaurant after drinking and street-raced separate Mercedes SUVs through a residential neighborhood, with Grossman striking and killing two young brothers, Mark and Jacob Iskander, then 11 and 8, as they crossed a marked crosswalk with their parents.Grossman was convicted of two counts of murder in 2024 and is serving 15 years to life. The civil case the family brought is the wrongful-death companion, and the punitive damages award the jury added on Wednesday is the part that does the most policy work: the jury split the punitive award $21 million against Grossman, $1.17 million against Erickson, which under California's reprehensibility-and-net-worth framework reflects both the much greater direct culpability of Grossman as the driver and the substantial disparity in their respective financial positions.The case is notable beyond the parties involved because of how clean it is on the standard punitive-damages analysis the Supreme Court laid out in BMW v. Gore and State Farm v. Campbell: high reprehensibility, a relatively modest single-digit ratio of punitive-to-compensatory damages, and an underlying compensatory award that itself was supported by the gravity of the loss. Watch for an appeal that focuses on the compensatory rather than the punitive number — that is where the appellate leverage actually is.Jury Ups Philanthropist, Ex-Pitcher Crash Verdict To $198M | Law360 This is a public episode.

As we continue our sermon series through Colossians, verses 13 and 14 remind us of a spiritual reality- Christians wrestle against powers and principalities that are dark and demonic. Through Christ, we have victory over the dominion of darkness. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord.Originally June 7th, 2026. Covenant Church. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

Send us Fan MailKate Ragsdale, 73, was killed on Feb. 24, 2013, in her home in The Highlands neighborhood, off University Boulevard and not far off the eastern edge of the UA campus. A neighbor checked on Ragsdale the night of Feb. 24, 2013. Ragsdale was last seen by friends on the Sunday night before she was found. She had been to a friend's home in the Forest Lake neighborhood to watch an episode of "Downton Abbey."Ragsdale was a well-known, well-liked member of the Tuscaloosa and University of Alabama communities. Friends have described her as having a giving nature and vivacious spirit.Investigators have interviewed more than 200 people about the Ragsdale case and they say it's very possible they've spoken to the killer. Everyone in the neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods was questioned, as well as friends, acquaintances, former colleagues and about 100 construction workers who were doing road work next to her house and at Bryce Hospital at the time.Merchhttps://jrlawman-shop.fourthwall.com/...https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/...https://www.wbrc.com/2026/01/10/inves... https://patch.com/alabama/tuscaloosa/... https://www.wvtm13.com/article/murder...    • 8 Years Later: Kate Ragsdale Case Remains ...

Our latest episode of QuidelOrtho Science Bytes explores hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) – a complex and often misunderstood condition that can have life-threatening consequences during pregnancy. Host Michelle Mullens is joined by Bethany Weathersby, Founder of the Allo Hope Foundation, to connect diagnostic science with real patient experiences. Together, they explain how alloimmunization occurs, why many patients are unaware of their risk and how laboratory testing plays a central role in guiding care.  The conversation reveals how gaps in awareness, inconsistent care practices and delays in acting on lab results can significantly impact outcomes. It also highlights the importance of patient advocacy and collaboration between laboratories, clinicians and patients to improve care pathways.   About Our Speaker:  Bethany Weathersby Bethany Weathersby serves as the Executive Director at The Allo Hope Foundation. She received her BS degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education at Jacksonville State University. She received her MEd degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Columbia International University and spent the next 15 years teaching ESL before transitioning into patient education and advocacy. Bethany lives with her husband, Josh, and their five children in Tuscaloosa, AL. During her third pregnancy in 2013, Bethany was diagnosed with maternal alloimmunization (Kell antibodies) and her daughter was at risk for severe HDFN due to Bethany's incredibly high titer. Bethany and her husband struggled to find the proactive medical care that Bethany and her unborn baby needed. Unfortunately, due to lack of monitoring and treatment, their daughter, Lucy, was stillborn just shy of 20 weeks. Determined to continue growing their family, Bethany partnered with two maternal-fetal specialists out of state who supported her throughout her next three pregnancies, helping the Weathersbys have the large family they had always wanted. In 2019, Bethany founded the Allo Hope Foundation to provide resources and support, and improve care practices for alloimmunized women and HDFN patients.

Lane Kiffin is now at LSU, Kalen DeBoer is leading Alabama into a new era, and college football is changing fast. Jake Coker and Mick Gillispie break down the biggest stories across college football, recruiting, Alabama football, LSU football, Ole Miss, and the latest NCAA rule changes. The guys react to Lane Kiffin's comments about recruiting in Mississippi, the challenges tied to history, perception, and program identity, and how his time at Ole Miss changed the Rebels' national profile before his move to LSU. They also discuss Kiffin's career as one of college football's most fascinating coaches — a proven winner with a controversial past and massive expectations in Baton Rouge. Jake Coker also weighs in on Steve Sarkisian's “basket weaving” comments, the reality of academics in college football recruiting, and his own experience graduating from Florida State in three years while balancing life as a quarterback. The conversation then shifts to Alabama football, where Coker and Gillispie discuss why the Crimson Tide brand remains bigger than any one coach, even Nick Saban. They explain why Kalen DeBoer's professional, business-like approach could fit perfectly in Tuscaloosa, why his quarterback recruiting matters, and why Ty Simpson's intelligence and accuracy could be key for Alabama's future. Plus, the guys break down major NCAA rule changes, including the new targeting suspension policy and the rare fair catch free kick/field goal rule that could create wild end-of-game moments.

There were persistent rumors that the Alabama Crimson Tide was looking for a way out of its scheduled home-and-home series against the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2027 and 2028. But recently, reporter Brett McMurphy confirmed that the series would be played as scheduled, with the teams playing in Columbus in 2027 and Tuscaloosa in 2028. Tony Gerdeman of the Buckeye Weekly podcast joins host Tom Orr to discuss why that's a big win - not only for OSU and Alabama, but college football on the whole. 

The Alabama Crimson Tide has landed the top quarterback prospect of the 2027 class in Baton Rouge five star Elijah Haven.

Alabama athletics is at the center of a massive debate in this episode, from Nate Oats stacking Alabama Basketball with size and shooting to serious concerns about Alabama Football's physicality, recruiting, and ability to run the ball. We break down why Alabama Basketball fans should be excited about Oats' latest recruiting class, including multiple big men over 6'10" and a proven 40% three-point shooter from Boise State. On the football side, the conversation turns to whether Alabama is falling behind in the NIL era, with concerns that programs like Ohio State, Texas, and Miami are spending at a level the Crimson Tide may not be matching. With revenue sharing changing the sport and football rosters projected to cost $35–40 million, what does that mean for Alabama moving forward? We also discuss Pete Golding's move to Ole Miss and why his aggressive, all-in coaching mentality may be getting a different level of appreciation now than it did in Tuscaloosa. Plus, transfer portal and quarterback updates, including Ashton Daniels at Florida State and Jackson Arnold's move to UNLV. And yes, the conversation takes a wild turn into UFOs, missing scientists, FBI investigations, Bob Lazar on Joe Rogan, and a heated debate over the 1969 moon landing.

We're swinging our draft lens to Tuscaloosa do discuss which Alabama prospects fit the Seahawks roster and scheme. Brent Taylor of Roll 'Bama Roll, who followed his Shaun Alexander fandom to Seattle, talks about his perspective on the departure of Kenneth Walker. We revisit last year's discussion about Jalen Milroe and Robbie Ouzts before shifting to this year's Alabama draft class. We start with a look at wide receiver Germie Bernard as a potential third-round "Swiss Army knife" who wins from the slot or outside, contributes on special teams and rarely drops passes. On the offensive line, Parker Brailsford stands out as an athletic center/guard option who could push for snaps and be a possible long-term option in case the free agent center market gets out of control. On defense, LT Overton draws mixed projection due to unclear role and inconsistent production, while nose tackle Tim Keenan III profiles as a run-stuffer with surprising disruption who could be available in the mid rounds and has the type of personality and background that the Seahawks seem to covet.

How much does it really cost to keep Alabama Football competing at the highest level in the NIL era? In this video, we break down the growing NIL arms race in college football and what it means for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Courtney Morgan and Greg Byrne have made it clear that the financial pressure is real, with estimates suggesting it could take around $40 million to build and maintain a true championship-caliber roster. If Alabama already has one of the top athletic budgets in the country, why are other programs still pulling ahead? We also dive into the debate over a freshman NIL salary cap and why that idea is gaining support. Is it smart to pay unproven high school players more than $1 million before they ever take a meaningful snap, or is college football creating a dangerous market that rewards hype over production? On top of that, we discuss player retention, transfer portal frustration, and why losing proven veterans stings even more when they take shots at Alabama on the way out. From Tim Smith's departure to bigger concerns about roster management, this conversation gets into the real challenges of keeping talent in Tuscaloosa. And finally, we look at the Alabama quarterback competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Who has the edge, how do offensive coaches usually handle these battles, and why does picking a starter early matter so much for locker room chemistry and offensive stability? If you follow Alabama Football, college football NIL, the transfer portal, or the future of roster building in the SEC, this is a discussion you do not want to miss. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #NIL #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #TransferPortal #GregByrne #CourtneyMorgan Learn more about your ad choices.
