Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You looking at
the world's problems here quickly this morning. There's not like
there's plenty. But let's dumb it down here for a second.
Here's the biggest problem. Well, for certain people, dude, I
read this. The average person is experiencing peak burnout at
the age of forty two, but for a big chunk
(00:20):
it's younger than that. They're burned out by the age
of thirty. They're done, they don't want to work. I feel, kid,
what you're twenty nine, you're gonna be thirty?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And what two months?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Three months, a few months, it's coming June.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome to the dirty thirty club.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm excited. My thirties are gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Gen Z's and millennials they're just done. The stress is
hitting them way too hard. And I'm just sitting here
looking at I'm a gen xer and I'm like, what
I see a world that's just like easier. So much
of it is easier for people that are what are
now modern day gen z Ors and millennials. I mean,
it really is gertips. You don't have to drive anywhere,
(01:02):
you don't have to do anything, you don't have to
get off your butt, none of that stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
But I think that that it's so funny because you'd
think that that would make life so much less, just
way less stressful. But I think that it almost makes
it harder because when you have everything available to you,
I don't know, like humans weren't meant to have everything
available to them, to be so social and connected and
have everything online. Well, we're social in terms of like
(01:28):
we're not going out and interacting with people.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
We're social online.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Which is an entirely different.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Thing, which is not really good for us. I think
that decades ago, one hundred years ago, whatever, there were
other real life struggles for sure that we don't deal
with now. But I think that it's more like you
were doing more physical things, you were needing to interact
with people face to face more. And I think that
sitting around and like only being connected online.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
And don't you think that raised your what's the stuff cartisol?
Cortisol is stress stress formal?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, I'm saying, don't you think it raised your away
to the other one that in a good mood serotonin?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, because you're out there, you're working.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, because I feel so much like I feel so
refreshed and kind of I don't know, mentally, just healthier
when I'm out in the barn and I do things
and I clean the barn and things like that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't like cleaning the bar, but I love going to.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
The barn.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
To bar. What bar you clean?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Cleaning this stable?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Haven't been out to the old sans of your tapping
girl yet.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I just think it's just I don't know, we gotta
like get out and move.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They're saying they're burned out because of finances and they're
burned out because of politics.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, then don't watch.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They're burned out because of work, and they're burned out
because of physical health, probably for all the reasons you
just said, because they're sitting around and their whole life
is on a keyboard, is on their phone in front
of their face.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Humans are meant to have a small social circle and
be really physically active and moving around a.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Lot, romantic and family relationships. Dressing people out.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, because everybody's dating online and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The thing that I notice if and I may be wrong,
and I know there's a lot of gen zers listening,
I don't want to piss them all off. I mean,
we kind of need them to be listening, but they
seem to just take themselves so seriously. I think that
people nowadays take themselves so seriously, but especially the younger generation.
I think that's where and I don't want to sound
like the old man to get off my yard guy,
but there's it's true.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I look at him.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Online, it's like, oh my gosh, nobody cares. I mean,
they sit there. But that goes for a lot of
people too. Some people that are just like they could
be sixty and they're getting online for them or they're
getting on Instagram for the first time doing videos and
they get a little taste of it, and then they
get a couple of likes, and they get a couple
of people sharing something, and then they really think that
their level of importance is super hard. And I'm not
(03:42):
saying they're not important people, not saying they deserve to
die going down that road, right, but they just seem
to be they just take themselves so literal and so serious.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, yeah, I like buck up. It's a real thing.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
And I think that you have this phenomenon that happens too,
where everybody spends so much time on line and then
they start comparing themselves to other people, and they see
all the people doing all these cool fun things, and
they're like, my life is never that cool and fun,
and then they get depressed about it, when in reality
that person's life is probably just pretty much equal to yours,
but they only show really really cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's exactly what I was going to say. Usually the
people that are most happy showing the most happy online
are the most miserable miserable in real life. Well then
you get those people though, that really throw out the
bad stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean, they're really depressing when the vague, the vague booking,
the vague posting, and that stuff. I need your prayers
more than ever right now. It doesn't look like I
want to make it to midnight or whatever. I mean
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, and then it just feeds getting Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
People say childhood is way worse today than it was
years ago. Now, nobody would be able to know, because
a child today was never in a childhood like that
I was in, right, But I guess if you look
at it overall consensus, I would agree with that. I
think it's tougher to be a kid now. When I
was a kid, we just worried about cars hitting us
in the road.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I think the standards are higher for everything. And kids.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You have like six year olds that are on YouTube
watching videos that adults make, and then they want to
act like adults, and they want to do their makeup
like adults and skincare, and it's.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Like, you're six years old, calm down, you gotta chill out.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Everyone they asked, said twenty twenty five is gonna be
the worst year in the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Last three years.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Why, Yeah, even like with COVID, they just think it's
just the most stressful.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They just think it's to be the most stressful.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're just going to say every year is probably political.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I mean a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, politics plays a big role. I
think all of it does. And then the economy doesn't
make it any easier. People are worried that they're never
going to be able to retire, which when you're twenty
five and you're thinking about the fact that you're going
to be working until you're a million years old, it's like, well,
there goes my life.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
There's a chunk of people that are twenty five that
are living their lives like, in my opinion, in a
sense much better. I mean they're going out, they're experiencing
things while they're young, and they're taking the trips to Spain, right,
you're taking the trips to Australia wherever they want to
go and stuff. As supposed to saying I'm gonna wait
till I'm sixty five, well number one not saying sixty
five is old.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It's not. But you may not make it there. I mean,
you may not make it a sixty five. You don't
know what your.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Future is going to be. You don't know what your
health is going to be like, you don't know anything.
You know what your finances are gonna be like. So
I kind of admire they get out and do that.
I also admire the savers if you can kind of
do both at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But then you've got people either side, whatever side they're on,
if they are traveling a lot, then you have people
on the other side that aren't traveling that see them
traveling and they're.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Like, my life sucks.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And then you have the people who are traveling a
lot and they're broke because they've spent all their money,
and then they see their friends in a couple of
years go and buying houses and starting families and they're.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Like, my life suck, and it's like, yeah, when.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
No, the grass is always greener. So since we have
that constant access to a comparison, it's like everything sucks.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Just shut her down.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
When twenty years ago people just did what they were doing.
They didn't have Facebook and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Nothing to compare their life too.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, it's a comparison just kills you.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
They compare their bodies to people, they can compare their
lifestyles to people, their family life to people who's raising
their kids better, worse or in whatever. I mean, it's
you're You're right, dude, you nailed it with that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You got to just enjoy your life, love your family,
your friends, and your own bobber exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, that's why I just like miss going back to
school and just how many cocktails you can knock back
in an hour, you know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That was the hardest.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
When you said go back to school, I immediately thought,
like sixth seventh grade, well in.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
