What would 83 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: you guess is the age at which a lot of 84 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: Americans are saying they burn out by not at but before, 85 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: by or before thirty. Yep, a quarter of Americans are 86 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: burnt out before they're even thirty. 87 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: A survey of two thousand adults. 88 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: I know I was gonna say, I guess I've been 89 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: burnt out for a long time. A survey of two 90 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: thousand adults looked at how the stress of the past 91 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: decade has affected them. They found the average respondent experience 92 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: his peak burnout. Well, they're saying around forty two for 93 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: gen Z and millennial adults, so eighteen to forty four 94 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: the highest point of their stress. He is even younger 95 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: at twenty five. Now, we got to talk about this 96 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: a little bit, because COVID has been stressful, there's no 97 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: doubt about that. And if you're twenty years old, that 98 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: might be the most stressful thing you've ever seen, and 99 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: that would make perfect sense. But if we're burning out 100 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: at twenty five, that's a little early on the burnout, 101 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: Like we might want to push ourselves a little closer 102 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: to thirty or a little beyond thirty, because if we're 103 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: if we're already feeling like we've done enough or we've 104 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: done too much at twenty five, we got long life 105 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: left to live. We might have to have a little 106 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: resilience on this one, you know, because as a man 107 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: who's a little older than thirty, I can tell you. 108 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Still have to keep going. You know, it doesn't stop. 109 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: So if you're saying you're burnt out at twenty five, 110 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm worried, you know. I feel like, God, maybe take 111 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: a nice walk in the park, or have an ice 112 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: cream cone or something. 113 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 114 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I mean, though, Like if 115 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: I said I'm done, I'm done with this now again, 116 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: if if ten percent or fifteen percent of my life 117 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: was COVID, well then I might feel I might think 118 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: I feel that way. But keep pushing, fam That's my 119 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: motivational speech of the day. 120 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: Just keep pushing. 121 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: Captain Positivity in twenty twenty five says it should get better. 122 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Oh, it should, but it won't. I'm not. I don't 123 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: know when exactly, but it should get better. 124 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: But yeah, forty two percent of feeling even more stress 125 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: than ever before. When as what's causing their burnout, finances 126 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: were the most commonly ranked as the top factor. Politics 127 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: and then physical health and work were also significant sources 128 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: of worry for respondents. 129 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: And I don't have any good news stories for you today. Really. 130 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: The Girl Scouts are being sued over heavy metals and 131 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: pesticides in their cookies.

Oh, urbs aren't vegetables. 139 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: I don't think mint is considered a herb, belonging to 140 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: the some word I can't say family.
