In this episode of Agree AND Disagree, Nick Beaton and comedian Kyle Brownrig dive deep into why college and university degrees feel like a modern scam. They break down the skyrocketing cost of higher education, whether degrees still have real value, and why so many graduates end up with debt and disappointing job prospects. They also shift into a blunt discussion about today’s mental-health culture—what’s genuinely helpful, what’s been exaggerated, and how self-diagnosing has become a trend. From social pressure to personal responsibility, Nick and Kyle explore how society talks about anxiety, depression, and identity in 2025. A sharp, funny, and honest episode on education, mental health, and the stories we tell ourselves.
