It’s Bubble Trouble for Gen Z, Who Are Done with Spicy Water

About this episode

The episode discusses Gen Z's disinterest in vodka seltzer, HOA issues in SoCal, and highlights from the Emmys.

Hour 4 (9.04)   SoCal braces for a miserable heatwave that feels like 110 with 100% humidity — Foggy Bottom with palm trees.    Gen Z is officially over “spicy water,” and vodka seltzer brands are reading the room and pulling the plug.    Then the crew rips into HOA hell: sky-high special assessments that have condo-dwelling Angelenos furious, including one Torrance building staring down a $50K hit — each. Listeners are invited to name-and-shame the people making their lives miserable, before Heather dives into stretched-out Emmys week.    “I Love Lucy” still winning hardware, Rob Reiner getting a posthumous Emmy for “The Bear” and a standing ovation that left no dry eyes, and a last-call hope that Hollywood’s working dreamers can keep the industry we love from circling the drain.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
