Speaker 3 (01:02):
The eleven overdoses yesterday in the pen North area, which
is the same area where the mass overdose happened in July.
No casualties. A few people were taken to the hospital.
But I think it's interesting and a little bit weird.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Do we think somebody's making this stuff in their house
right around there and dealing it and then that's what's
going on?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Who knows? But I feel like we should look into it.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
You think they could talk to all these people and
find out where it's coming.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Where are you getting this? What's going on? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:33):

month later.

Gen Z is reportedly having way fewer one night's day
other generations, And you.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Mentioned this, So what is this all about?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Money? Rising costs rent, food, utilities means that many young
adults are still living with their parents, so they can't.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I just tell you from being the parent of a
teen raise four of them.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
That didn't stop them. That didn't stop them.

They were at our house and they didn't stop them.
The bunnies are in the backyard.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Not gen Z hooks up an average of thirty five
times per year, but in previous generations it was about
sixty eight times per year.

Say caramel, and people get into actual debates over this caramel.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
The word is caramel, not car Carmel would be K
A R M E L. Wouldn't it? Well caramel?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
That's speech experts and where there's original both have weighed
on this and they say nobody's wrong. Okay, you can
pronounce it either way. It's regional. Everything's fine.
