Ed Taste act in America's workforce is about to get hit by something that experts are calling retirement wave.

And I say about to get hit by something.

We've kind of been in it for a couple of years, but you may, you may have heard this stat before.

And so all these millions of baby boomers, kind of the youngest end of baby movers now starting to retire, more and more and more retiring faster than young workers can replace them.

And so we talk about AI affecting the workforce, but it's not just AI, it's also all this retirement and some industries getting hit especially hard.

And it's not just about the numbers at this point.

The odd thing that happens is you have someone who retires after 38 years and suddenly nobody knows the password to anything or where the important files are or why that copier makes that weird noise every third Thursday.

And companies are having to rethink everything.

So some are offering flexible schedules to keep worker olders around longer while others are pushing automation or AI, of course.

But honestly, part of it's cultural.

I mean, a lot of younger workers have watched the older generations burn themselves out for decades and they've thought, yeah, I'm not, I'm not doing that.

So now companies trying to replace 40 years of experience with a 22 year old named Dylan who says things like, I'm not really a morning person, get to work, Dylan.

Either way, 11,000 people a year, I mean a day.

11,000Americans a day turning 65 years old.

These are the top six most common things people say after they turn 65.

Well, gather round folks.

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Here comes the fun.

It's the morning six pack.

The top six common things said after people turn 65.

Number six, why does every single restaurant have to be so dark?

You need a flashlight to see the price of a burger.

I wrote that joke and then I felt personally attacked.

I, I attacked myself because that one's me.

Number five.

I didn't even do anything.

I just slept on my neck wrong and now I need physical therapy.

Number four, is it hot in here or is the planet getting closer to the sun?

Number three, hold on, let me turn the radio down so that I can see where it is that I'm turning.

Number two, I'm not saying that it's going to rain I'm saying.

My left knee is telling me that it's going to rain, but.

And then my old man impression.

And the number one thing most commonly said by someone after they turned 65.

You know, I. I bet Bella Vista would be a really nice place to live.
