Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kyle, what are the three things we need to know?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Apparently Americans are having major second thoughts about four year degrees.
They just did a study study and found sixty three
percent of people now say they're just not worth the cost.
Even graduates are we thinking, with less than half feeling
their degree actually paid off. Sky High tuition, crushing student dead,
shaky job prospects, all kind of making college feel less
like a guaranteed win and more like a gamble that

(00:22):
really is expensive. A little heads up and kind of
an important one. Ritz had a major whoop. See some
of their cracker sandwiches were actually labeled as cheese, but
their peanut butter oh no, which is obviously really dangerous
if you or someone in your family has a peanut
butter allergy.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, they've been shipped all over the.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Country, so they just say just check your pantry. Check
your pantry, not your pants. Well, I mean, unless you
put your crackers in your pants and then check your pants.
This story made me cry, like in the best way.
So there is an Australian influencer who found this eighty
eight year old guy. His name is Ed Bambas and
he's working full time at this grocery store five days

(01:03):
a week, eighty eight years old, and so we decided
to ask ed about his story, and Ed happens to
be a veteran.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes, sir, I did. I was in the Army bank
in sixty sixty six with my wife, was real sick
when they took the pigeon. They also took the healthcare
coverage and all but ten thousand dollars of my life
it chrs. My wife died seven years ago. Test then
I've been trying to re establish myself.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So he lost his pension, had to sell his house
to care for his wife. And this influencer is like, hey,
I want to do what I can to help you out.
Here's four hundred dollars and I want to start a GoFundMe.
And the last time I checked, this Skillfundme has already
raised over one point five million dollars for Ed to
get back on his feet to actually finally retire at

(01:51):
eighty eight years old. I was like, oh, I love
this story so much.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
You know I was telling you about that Harvard professor
that is trying to be positive about health and that
your mind and your body can you can heal? Your
mind can heal your body, and it made me sence
you play this old guy. It made me think how
some somehow if you listen to show long time, you
know Kyle's got like a fear of Alzheimer's.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, right, I do, because you forget things all the time.
You know what she says? What did she say?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
She says, it's not true, like when you were twenty,
you forgot things too. No I know I did, but
you didn't go, oh my god, I'm twenty, I'm getting Alzheimer's.
You're just twenty. You forgot things. And it's the same
thing now, except now you're older and you think, oh
my god, I'm getting Alzheimer's. So now you're telling yourself
that you're afraid you're getting Alzheimer's.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
And I think you're gonna get all him.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
But I say that when I was twenty, So I
am gonna get all shimmers.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Don't kid it, don't kid it, not kidding, Like twenty,
I should be forgetting these things. I think you need
to go meet with her. I think you know what
I think it is.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I just think, like my brain it has like a
filing system and it's like not important. I'll put that
in the back there's too many I have too many
tabs open.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
You know, I found this. I'm sorry you want to
hear someth kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
My brother in law, Mike, you know, he's married to
my sister and they're in the TV world, and he
just took a job and got offer this job.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
He's been interviewing for a while. I just took it,
got the job offer.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Let's say three days ago, a week ago, and the
paper works still out. He's working for mister Beast's awesome,
and you.

Speaker 1 (03:21):

a trip for work, like we know we might have
to go to Cleveland in Augusta. That's Cleveland. We had
six seven, eight, nine months the job three days ago
and he's leaving a Nairobi tomorrow.

these great things.

Yeah, like hearing he's doing hearing aids for kids and
stuff like that. He already he does this.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
No, my sister, that's that's something that she might be doing.
But anyway, so anyway, it's pretty while I just thought
that was so cool because because I was with my
sister yesterday in LA and were driving and her son calls.

on Friday. Like what, He's like what? Oh? Yeah.
