5:25 p.m.
It's usually not a good thing to see an ambulance, but a crew from AMT Ambulance stopped by the WCIA backlot for a good reason. They donated 4,500 diapers, one of the biggest donations of the 2025 diaper drive and a close second to the Champaign Park District, which donated just over 5,000 diapers.
5:15 p.m.

5:00 p.m
The WCIA Weather team has two dads on the team — Kevin and Seth. They went head-to-head in the diaper changing race to defend their wins — Kevin from last year and Seth from just minutes earlier.
4:51 p.m.
It's a rematch one year in the making. Seth and Amanda go head-to-head again in a race to change a doll's diaper the fastest. But unlike last year, Seth now has experience with a real baby. He's looking for redemption.
4:30 p.m.
Amanda Brennan interviews Bev Baker, Chief Impact Officer of United Way of Champaign County, on the history of diaper banks in Champaign County, how United Way became involved and how they get diapers into the community.

Behind the scenes, WCIA employees are busy handling diapers and getting them ready for distribution to the community. Here's a step-by-step process of how that happens:
12:25 p.m.
Amanda, Jacob and Mitch face off during WCIA's Diaper Drive with United Way of Champaign County. This is round three for Mitch, who hasn't had any luck all morning with changing a diaper the fastest.
12:10 p.m.
Organizations across Champaign-Urbana have been collecting diapers ahead of WCIA's diaper drive all week. Amanda Brennan visited two banks and a law firm that participated, picked up the diapers they collected and spoke with staff on why they took part.
12:03 p.m.
Sue Gray, the President and CEO of United Way Champaign County, provides an update on how many diapers have been donated during WCIA's diaper drive for Nexstar Founder's Day of Caring.
11:45 a.m.
10 a.m.
Jacob Dickey and Mitchell Rife wrap up The Morning Show with an update on how many diapers have been donated so far and with their plans on how to beat Taylor Mitchell in the diaper changing race.
9:50 a.m.
It's redemption time for Mitchell Rife. He lost to Taylor Mitchell earlier in The Morning Show, so he's getting another chance to beat his co-anchor in the diaper changing race.
9:17 a.m.
WCIA's Amanda Brennan speaks with Dr. Awad Alyami, a pediatrician at OSF, on how important diapers are for babies' health and why they must be clean.
'Diapers take care of the skin, which is the first defense mechanism of the body from germs and infections,' Alyami said. 'Urine and stool is very irritant to the skin, so if (the diaper) isn't changed quickly enough, we can have diaper rash…if that's not addressed quickly enough, we might run the risk of superimposed yeast infection or bacterial infection.'
'A diaper change doesn't cost much, but to treat infections after that can be very costly,' Alyami added.
He added that he often sees families without diaper bags when they bring their babies for appointments. In that event, OSF does connect families with community resources to help them.
9:13 a.m.
Already a few hours into the Diaper Drive event, Taylor Mitchell and Mitchell Rife checked in to see how donations are coming in and who reigns on the diaper race leaderboard so far.
9:01 a.m.
Mitchell Rife took on Beverley Baker of United Way for another diaper changing race.
After Baker celebrated a victory, she discussed the impact of donations to the diaper drive.
'We reached enough to cover the diaper bank for four months last year. We would love to be able to reach six, if at all possible. We've seen the need increase. We're getting the demand from our partners and we know that families in our community are stretching their dollars … We want to keep the kids in our community healthy, we want families to be able to go to work and school, kids to be able to go to childcare where they're safe and well cared for, and we need the diapers to accomplish all of those things,' Baker said.
7:46 a.m.
Laura Gerhold from the Family Room talks about how donations are important for their children who go into the foster care system.
'Every year there are 100s of children who enter into the foster care system here in Champaign County,' Gerhold said. 'Those children are in need just like your own children at home, and so making sure that they have access to diapers so that they're clean and sanitary and their families can support them in other ways financially. Sometimes when children enter into a new home, there may be limited resources. This is one burden that we can take off of those families because everyone knows the cost of taking care of a kid and any little bit of support can help.'
Gerhold added that families are so grateful and thankful when they receive the donations.
7:26 a.m.
The Morning Show team went head-to-head in a diaper changing race.
7:15 a.m.
Cindy Crawford of the Community Service Center in Rantoul said having this event in 'critical' to help fill a community need.
'Right now with our economy, it's just so challenging for people to be able to afford diapers, and they're very expensive,' Crawford said. 'Wipes as well. So just being able to provide that to people is huge.'
Crawford said at the Community Service Center, they provide diapers for around 100-300 children a month at their location alone.
'This is a multiplier effect. If they're able to get help with diapers, they're able to get out and buy other things that their families need,' Crawford added.
6:57 a.m.
WCIA's Mitchell Rife faces off with Martin O'Donnell of Busey Bank in one of the first diaper changing races of the day.
Ultimately, O'Donnell walked away with a win at a time of 38.13 seconds. That time puts him in third place, behind Stephanie Seay (17.83) and Sarah Sandquist (21.83).
6:37 a.m.
Mitchell Rife caught up with Chief Development Officer of United Way Becca Guyette on why diaper donations are so helpful. Guyette said that between 13- 14,000 diapers are distributed a month from United Way to the community through their partner agencies. Last year, WCIA collected around 15,000 diapers in just one day for the drive, emphasizing how far the donation drive goes to help families in need.
6:15 a.m.
WCIA's Taylor Mitchell and Mitchell Rife preview more of what's to come throughout the event, including the anticipated diaper races. Rife said he's vying for that number one spot this year.
6 a.m.
As the Diaper Drive kicked off, our own Mitchell Rife talked with United Way's Carolyn Butterfield about the importance of the drive.
Butterfield said diapers are about $80-100 per month, per child.
'So when you're on a limited budget, that's a lot of money…' Butterfield said. 'Folks are forced to make it stretch until their next paycheck. And those are tough choices. Parents don't want to do that. But we're here to help kind of bridge that gap so that folks can get to that next paycheck, not have to ration diapers, kids are healthier, parents don't have to miss work or school because they can't bring enough diapers to daycare. So that's real important; that affects the household bottom line.'

You could get paid for catching these fish species
(NEXSTAR) — You may not be getting an extra paycheck in August, but you could earn a little dough if you're handy with a rod and reel. In several states, anglers can be paid for catching certain species of fish. Payouts range from a few dollars to six-figures, depending on the type of fish and how many are caught. In states along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, bounties have been placed on black carp. Black carp, like the three other species found in the U.S., were brought from overseas to stock aquaculture ponds, the U.S. Department of Agriculture explains. Invasive carp — black, bighead, grass, and silver — are 'fast-growing and prolific feeders that out-compete native fish and leave a trail of environmental destruction in their wake.' How 'corn sweat' can make a hot summer day even worse To help combat this, the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee, part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has been offering a bounty on black carp caught in the Mississippi River basin and surrounding areas. The bounty, originally for carp caught in Illinois and neighboring states, was recently expanded to additional regions. It's all part of the 'Keep, Cool, Call' initiative. Funded by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the $100 per fish bounty is available for qualifying black carp captures, with up to $1,000 available to each angler monthly. The carp must be caught in the Mississippi River or its tributaries in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Should you catch what you believe to be a black carp in any of those waters, wildlife officials ask that you keep the fish; note the location in which you caught it and details about the habitat in that area; take photos of its head, mouth, and its length; and record what gear and bait you used. The fish should be humanely killed and kept on ice or in a freezer, officials say, because it's illegal to have a live carp in your possession. Once you've recorded the necessary information and stored the fish, you'll want to call your local authorities to report the catch. Though not part of that program, Utah has launched a similar effort to remove carp from its Utah Lake. The Great Carp Hunt contest runs through November of this year, offering teams of up to five anglers monthly two-day events to catch as many carp as possible, Nexstar's KTVX explains. For every carp caught, teams earn entries into a monthly raffle of $1,000 cash. The hunt's rules also stipulate that the team that removes the most carp from Utah Lake each month will win equipment or gear. The team that catches the most carp throughout the entirety of the hunt receives a $10,000 cash prize. Based on the latest tally, roughly 3,500 carp have been caught as part of the hunt this year. In nearby Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, anglers have received thousands of dollars in reward payments for catching one native fish species said to be harming another. Officials launched the Northern Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Program in 1990 to knock down the population of the fish, which are known to eat millions of young salmon and steelhead before they're able to make it out to sea. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, which administers the program, says the overall goal is to cull the larger, older Northern Pikeminnow from the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Each Northern Pikeminnow that measures at least nine inches in length could be worth $6 to $10, depending on when it is caught during the five-month season. Fish found to have tags previously implanted in young salmon could be worth $200 or $500 a piece, depending on the specific tag. In 2024 alone, one angler made over $164,000, according to officials. Among the top 20 anglers, the average number of fish caught was 4,677, totaling about $47,286 in reward payments per participant. Additional details can be found on the program's website. Anglers in Idaho are also able to cash in on incentive programs for lake trout and walleye caught in Lake Pend Oreille and its tributaries and rainbow trout caught in the South Fork of the Snake River. Regardless of whether your invasive catch can be exchanged for cash, you should confirm with local wildlife officials whether you need to report it. They'll likely also have tips on what to do with the fish, which, in most cases, should not be returned to the water.

If you say ‘pardon' to sound posh, you're wrong on two counts
What do you say if you mishear someone? 'I'm sorry?' or 'what?', perhaps? Or maybe you're a 'pardon?' person. One of those silly surveys has just come out, declaring that Gen Z have given up saying 'polite' words such as 'pardon' and 'excuse me' in favour of 'what?' or 'come again?' Three quarters of young Britons deem 'pardon' too formal, says the survey, so they reply 'huh?' or 'you what?' instead. Is 'you what?' better than saying nothing at all, which is what half of the survey's respondents claimed to do? Instead, apparently, the youth nod along and pretend to have understood. Though we've all been there, haven't we, at a noisy drinks party, for example. You're desperately trying to understand the other person, but you don't want to stick your ear any closer to their face because they've just eaten a salmon canapé, so you smile broadly, nod and maybe let out a little laugh, only to realise with horror that they were telling you their mother had just died. Unfortunately, however, this survey has got it all wrong. Look, I try not to be a word snob (all the time), but I can't let this one slide. 'Pardon' is an abysmal word, not polite, and certainly not a word anyone posh would use. It is a Hyacinth Bucket word – one that people may use because they think it sounds grand, and better than 'what', but which actually marks them out as deeply middle class. Sorry, don't blame me. I'm only passing on the facts, and the fact is, 'pardon' is awful. When I once came home from school and reported to my mother that I'd been told off for saying 'what' to my teacher one day, and told to use 'pardon' instead, my mother called up the school to complain. Because 'pardon' is ever so slightly common, and 'what' is, honestly, more acceptable. It depends how you say it, of course. You can't blurt it out in the manner of Harry Enfield's Kevin – 'Wot?' Try to be more gentle. I'm a fan of 'What was that?' if I miss whatever I've just been asked. Somewhat contradictorily, 'I beg your pardon?' is also tolerable. But just never, ever 'pardon'. So, for today's lesson, we're going to have a quick trot through a few other words that people believe are polite, but which are, in fact, infra dig. Again, it gives me no pleasure to pass these on. I merely offer them up so you don't embarrass yourselves. A final note about the word 'posh', because it's a controversial one. People often grumble to me about this. 'I do wish you wouldn't use the word posh so much.' Because some people consider it embarrassing, a common word the lower classes would have once used about those considered above them. 'Smart' or 'grand' are used as synonyms. But happily, these days, most decent people don't consider themselves 'above' or 'below' anybody else, and posh can be used ironically and liberally. 'Dead posh floor tiles,' I might say to a friend who's recently had her kitchen done. So a bit of a minefield all this, I appreciate, but please do try to remember the 'pardon' thing.

People Are Sharing The Dumbest People They've Ever Met
A little while back, we shared stories from Reddit's r/StoriesAboutKevin, where people share their best stories about "Kevins," i.e. people who are staggeringly unintelligent, clueless, or incompetent. Well, members of the BuzzFeed Community chimed in with their own stories, so we rounded them up here along with some new ones from the subreddit (we also added the original post's entries at the end for good measure). Enjoy! This will make you feel smart! "Kevin once brought soup for lunch. Not in a container. Not in a thermos. Nope, he brought it in a Ziploc bag. A floppy, sad, cold bag of soup. At lunchtime, he asked where the microwave was. We said it was broken. Kevin went, 'Oh, okay, I'll just heat it up on the stove.' We assumed he'd pour it into a pot like a normal person. We were so wrong. He literally plopped the Ziploc bag directly onto the burner. We noticed the smell of burning plastic before we saw the flames. Kevin stood there poking the bag with a spoon. He said, 'I don't get it. It worked when I did it in the fireplace that one time.' It melted, of course — soup and plastic were everywhere." "I was in the checkout lane at TJ Maxx, and the couple in front of me were looking at last-minute items. The lady said, 'Oooh, Lemon Mint Tea! That sounds delicious.' She then examined the box and howled, 'Made in China?!' The man replied, 'China?! What do the Chinese know about tea?'" "A friend I had in high school burned most of his hair off because he didn't realize that lighting matches and holding them near his head would do that. He wasn't injured, but you'd think he was with the amount of bitching he did about having to shave his head. When asked why he had the matches near his head in the first place, he claimed he was trying to 'hear the fire.'" "I was going to watch Tipping the Velvet with one of my exes, and I was telling her, 'This show is British, it's from the BBC.' She very seriously replied, 'So its gonna have subtitles?'" "I worked with a guy whose teenage son crapped in the cat's litter box to see if anyone would notice. They did, within less than 60 seconds." "My friend, whose actual name IS Kevin, almost got shot by an armed guard at the US Capitol in 2012 because he started walking toward some door and either somehow didn't hear or didn't listen when they started yelling at him to stop. Then the NEXT DAY, he did the EXACT SAME THING when we were walking past the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building." "When I worked at a hair salon, I had more than one Kevin/Kevina who, when scheduling their next appointment IN THE FUTURE, would ask 'Will he/she be running on time?'" "I (29F) work the graveyard shift at a local gas station. One night, a blonde-haired Kevina comes in. She grabs a small pack of Oreos worth about $2.50 and comes up to the counter, trying to pay with a crisp one-dollar bill. She claimed she had read somewhere that one-dollar bills are actually worth four dollars. I told her that wasn't true and that I needed an additional $1.50. She kept insisting that the bill was worth four dollars and that she had enough. Eventually, she relented and scrounged up some change to pay for the Oreos. I know some older dollar bills can be valuable, but this was a brand-new, crisp one-dollar bill. There was no way it was worth more than one dollar. And honestly, even if it somehow was worth four bucks — why would you spend it at a gas station, of all places?" "I once stopped Kevin from microwaving a can of corn. As in, an unopened can." "My husband once wanted to make us scrambled eggs, but we didn't have milk to make them fluffier, so instead he decided that using French vanilla creamer was a good idea. It was as bad as it sounds. Later, upon retelling the story, he somehow convinced himself that I was the one who did it (I grew up in kitchens and worked in restaurants my whole life)." "My Dad (a Kevin) once went to a hotel and decided that he really wanted to know what an elevator shaft looked like. So, he forced open the doors to an elevator while waiting in the hallway, which caused the elevator to jam. Somebody was inside. Dad was asked to leave the hotel. The kicker? The elevator shafts were made of GLASS. So yes, he forced open the doors of the elevator so he could see the shaft when the entire fucking thing was already transparent." "This was many years ago. During a meeting, we needed a copy to be made of something, so 'Kevin' was asked to run down the hall to one of the main copiers. Kevin ambled off, but 10–15 minutes later he still wasn't back and the meeting was almost over so I went to find him. I found him standing around watching someone fix the copier. I asked him why he didn't just use a different copier around the corner. He thought it was more important to call someone to fix it and wait for them! We finally had to let him go. His response? 'Oh that's okay, I'm going to law school this fall anyway.'" "I work for a guy whose 15-year-old stepson is the most Kevin person I've ever met. Now, I've known some dumb teenagers in my time. Hell, I used to be one. But this kid is just on another level. Two examples: 1. He licked a lit match because he thought fire would taste like a Flamin' Hot Cheeto; 2. He once dropped a bowl of cereal and milk, and rather than clean the mess with a towel, he soaked up the spill with his sock. A sock that was still on his foot. He then put on his shoes, went out to catch the bus, and went to school with a soaking wet milk sock. Later that day, he went to the school nurse because he was convinced that his foot was bleeding and soaking through his sock." "I used to work part-time at a phone repair shop, and one day Kevin walked in looking like someone just told him the Earth was flat. He plopped a melted Samsung on the counter and said, 'I think my antivirus didn't work.' I ask what happened. He says he was browsing some shady website, clicked a link, and his phone 'started acting possessed.' Classic malware. I nod and tell him I can probably help if he didn't do anything drastic. Then he goes, 'Yeah, so I microwaved it for, like, 40 seconds to kill the virus. Like how hospitals sanitize stuff.' I just blinked. My coworker choked on her water. This man cooked his phone like a Hot Pocket because he thought heat would kill malware. And the best part? He wanted to claim it under WARRANTY." "A client called our grooming shop for the price of a bath and nails. I asked her what kind of dog it was. She said, 'I don't know what it is now, but when it grows up, it's going to be a black lab.' I was dumbfounded, literally. I asked her how old it was, and she said it was three months, so I'm thinking maybe 20 lbs max, so I told her maybe $20–$25. Swear to God, the lady brings 'Red' in, and he is a POMERANIAN, a POM. I said, sorry, but this is a Pomeranian, and she told me, 'Well, I know it's going to be a black lab because I have papers at home.' I pulled up pictures of labs and Poms on the computer, but I still think she believes it will be a black lab. I'm going home to drink wine." "One of the stupidest people I've ever met was a 26-year-old male who turned up to work for me an hour and a half late the first day. He was brought in by his mum, which I thought was kind of odd for a grown man. I let that slide, but then things just got worse. It was a small roadside cafe/eatery, so I thought I'd ease him into the way of the place with some small duties. I asked him to put new toilet paper in the toilets — a minute or so later, I heard him yelling, 'It won't fit on the toilet roll holder!' I'm like what? That's a pretty simple thing. I tell him to bring it to me so I can show him — he's carrying a roll of paper towels; it's almost three times the length of the toilet paper holder." "My friend told his wife about an article he read about people in Siberia digging up frozen mammoth tusks and selling them. Her: 'That's terrible!' Him: 'Why is it terrible?' Her: 'They'll sell all the frozen ones, and then people will start killing mammoths for their tusks, and pretty soon they'll all be extinct!'" "I used to work in emergency medicine. Obviously, the emergency department sees many people who've had moments of foolishness that have caused them suffering. To err is human. I would not mock such victims of mere mortal frailty. Kevin was special. Kevin arrived by car, bloodied and battered. Kevin had fallen off a ladder. Since coming to get checked out was very sensible, it's not surprising that someone else insisted. Kevin was carefully checked over, his scrapes treated, and his bones imaged. Kevin was sent home. An hour later, Kevin was back, looking rather worse for wear. The staff, concerned, questioned him closely as to what had happened this time. Kevin had fallen off the ladder again. Kevin's friend had insisted that Kevin rest rather than climb the ladder again, so Kevin was determined to prove he was perfectly fine to go up the ladder. Kevin was not fine." "My husband owns a small plumbing business and participates in a job-readiness program with the local high school. This semester, he got a Kevin. One of Kevin's biggest jobs is to answer the phone. On his first day, he was instructed to pick up and say, 'Custom Quality Plumbing, don't forget to ask about our seasonal maintenance deal specials, how can we help you today?' Instead, he answered the business phone, 'Kevin residence, who's calling, please?' When confronted, he explained that he had forgotten the greeting and that this was how his mother had taught him to answer phones." "When I was in high school, some of the jocks decided that Home Economics would be an easy A. One of the jocks was an absolute Kevin. So, the Home Ec class was learning how to use sewing machines. Kevin was sewing merrily away, with his thumb sticking out perpendicular to his left hand, putting it on trajectory toward the needle. Not surprisingly, he ran his thumb through the feed dogs and punctured it several times. He called out to the teacher for help. She came over and asked, 'What did you do?' Kevin replied, 'I did this,' and proceeded to repeat his actions, including going through the feed dogs and getting additional puncture wounds to his thumb." "Sage started dating Kevin about two years before this incident. Things seemed to be going all right between them. She told me he was a bit of a derp and sometimes incredibly oblivious. He couldn't pick up subtle cues, and even suggestions flew over his head with about a mile of airspace between his skull and the suggestion. She initially chalked it up to him being on the autism spectrum, as she has a few other friends who have similar problems picking up cues. So she switched her behavior from 'talking to neurotypical' to 'talking to neurodivergent,' and the bumps smoothed out for a while. Then the talk of taking the relationship seriously came up. Marriage. Becoming a family. And that's when the plane hit the mountain with a cartoonish bang. Kevin said he wanted to DNA test Sage's kids to ensure they were his. The kids were 5 and 3 when Sage and Kevin started dating." "I may have married a Kevin. He initially doesn't strike you as a Kevin, because he had a very successful career working for a government alphabet agency. But once he gets a notion in his head, you cannot remove it with dynamite. If his mother or his teacher, Sister Mary Godzilla, told him something 50+ years ago, then that was Revealed Truth and could not be changed. Sister MG told him men have one less rib than women. It has to be that way because God took Adam's rib to make Eve. I had to show him side-by-side images of male and female skeletons in a medical encyclopedia and make him count the ribs before he believed Sister may have been mistaken." "My husband's ex wondered why planes and helicopters didn't crash into the moon." "Kevin wanted to 'grow his own fruit' because he saw a TikTok about 'living off the land.' Respectable…until he pulled up to our local community garden with a bowl of chopped fruit. No seeds. No whole fruit. Just literal fruit salad. Mangos, bananas, grapes, and a strawberry or two diced, marinated, and probably taken from a hotel breakfast bar. He dug little holes and carefully spooned fruit chunks into the soil. Like he was planting flowers. He even watered them with pineapple juice because 'they'll grow faster if you feed them what they like.' We tried to tell him that's not how fruit works, but he insisted it would 're-form in the dirt' and 'find itself again through nature.' Bro thought fruit had a respawn point. He came back two weeks later, mad nothing sprouted, and blamed the 'vibe of the soil.'" "My sister used to work with a lady who was a total Kevina. One day, she called out from work because she was in the hospital, on IV fluids, from dehydration and heat exhaustion. After returning to work, my sister asked her how she got so dehydrated. Poor Kevina had no idea, although I'm certain they tried hard to explain it to her at the hospital." "In the early '90s, I knew this kid (15) whose mom asked him to vacuum the house while she was at work. Kevin didn't want to — he just wanted to sit in his room, smoke pot, and listen to music — so he hatched a brilliant plan to get out of vacuuming. He knew the vacuum left lines in the carpet when run over it, so, without plugging in the machine, he ran it over the house's carpet so that it would leave the lines. Voila! Kevin got out of his vacuuming chore!" "One night, I got to meet this girl who my friends said was a perfect description of a 'Kevina.' We were eating some fast food (burgers and fries) when she asked, 'I really wonder what fries are made of? Flour?'" Know a Kevin or Kevina, LOL?
