0:00.0 | Hello, friends, how's it going? It's Michael Parker, and welcome back. This past week, |
0:14.3 | another story emerged of a death of a young man in Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. And for those who don't know, since 2022, 38 bodies have |
0:24.5 | been found in or around the lake, and 30 of those bodies were male. Over 60% of them were |
