And if you're a hard charger and you're a cop and you like your job, by all means, continue to do that job.

But there's a ton of cops out there that feel trapped because they have 10 years left. They don't know what else to do. And they're like, well, I get my retirement when I'm 57. And so I have to be here for another 12 years. And they're miserable. And it's a scary place to arrive because people feel stuck.

Bro, I don't think human beings, I don't think we're meant to be exposed to that kind of stuff for 20 or 30 years. I think being a soldier, I think being a patrol officer, I think being a firefighter, I think that those things are a young man's job. Or a young woman. You get people calling in being angry at you. That was Greg Anderson. Made the sexist and misogynistic comment.

What I've noticed is like, you know, from 20 to 30, like experiencing a lot of those like high stress situations and putting yourself out there and doing those type of hard jobs. But to carry that into your 40s and 50s, I think at that point, people are just doing it because of retirement, right?

What I think, and I don't even know if this is feasible because you'd have to look at like budgets and available positions and stuff.

But give them an option to retire with some type of government service that's not carrying a gun. And it's not that super high stress stuff all the time. Even if that's like, I don't know, fucking park maintenance or whatever it is. But I don't think we're designed to be living high stress for decades on end.
