• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I five five five one morning. Everybody is DJ n
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: V Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: got our co host Jason Lee and if you're just
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: joining us, we're talking about the four day work week. Now,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they're saying that a four day work week actually is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: better for workers. It said it's better for a product, productivity,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it's better for health, it's even better for finances. So
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we're asking, would you want to do a four day
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: work week, but that does mean you would have to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: work ten hours a day four days. I'm not mad
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: at that. I would do my ten hours a day
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and get off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Baby. You we
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: all love what we do, so you're always working. When
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're not here working, you're where your wife's work. We're
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: always working. So this this generation wants and excused to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: be at home period. I think it'll make you more productive. Like,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: for example, I don't do Monday as well, Like I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: really don't even get in my groove until Tuesday. Even
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: here at the Breakfast Club, there's certain things we don't
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: do on Monday, or try not to do, like interviews
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: after the show, right, or nor do we like doing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: interviews on Friday after the show because we'll be ready
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to get out of here. Yesterday's Sunday, I met my
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: daughter's cheerleading competition all weekend, drove back three and a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: half hours from Rhode Island. Although I love coming in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: here because the energy in this studio is fantastic this year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't had to light my stage once,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but I would still rather not have to talk and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: tell tomorrow. But what change this year that you have
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to bring and says it's not the hours, just the studio,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the energy. So see, I see, I would say the same.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I just flew back in Sunday, and yes, I need
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I need a kickstart, you know, I mean I need
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I need Tuesday. That's what I'm saying. On Tuesday. Monday
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is kind of tough. That's why even with interviews on Monday,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you're kind of down a little bit. Now. To Jason's point,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: there's there's I love everything that I do, and there's multiple,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know, businesses that I have my hand in. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I guess when I say I would need a four
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: day work week, it's just from radio. I don't want
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to get up at six o'clock in the morning to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: do radio on a Monday morning. But we've been doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it for all these years, and that's why you guys
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: are in the Radio Hall of Fame. That's right. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that's how I know I need a four day work
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: week because I've been doing it so long. That's how
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I know he's he's a Monday of Friday. Gotta go, bro,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you see. But this is the thing. Even when I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: miss a day, I miss it. Though I'm not gonna
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: sit here line like when we off, I'll be like, damn,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I still get at the same time, my boy. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: depends what's going on. When I enjoy Still, I enjoyed
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: my time off. I'm gonna tell y'all that right now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed my time of the breakfast club. It's endorsing
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this ridiculousness. I've notified my entire staff. I will relocate
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Hollywood Unlocked to Dominican Republican or somewhere. Y'all can't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: take a day off door because y'all are a blog.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Even do we call y'all a blog? No, they try,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: but no, we're a media company, media company. Seven, you're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a media company. That's twenty fourth seven media company. Sort of,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: let's go hello, who's this morning? Hey, Michelle more talk
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to us before day work with all right, I've done
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: before day work. We I did it when I used
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to work for See Mobile, but it was a little different.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We did it for ten hours a day. But I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: loved it. I loved having three days off. Damn, I'm
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: telling you, what days did you have off? Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: That's perfect. That's perfect. So Thursday, when your day is over,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you could just bounce if you need to. Yeah, And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it really wasn't that late. It was like through the turns,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so you can still go out, you can still do things.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You kind of swept in a little bit. Now I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have kids, so it's a little different, but I'm not
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gonna I'd rather have the Monday. The only reason I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: rather have the Monday is because Friday you get off work.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So you got all day Friday to do whatever you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: want to do, all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I rather that than have the Friday. Take the Friday off.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Thursday you get out of work. When you get out
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of work, then you could dip on Thursday night. Now,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you got the full day Friday, full day Saturday, come
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: back Sunday, flying back from places on a Sunday night.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: They have to work on Monday morning. They ain't never
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hit bro. You know what I'm saying. Like I've been
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: needing that Monday to recover sometimes. And I guess it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: also depends on what your career is. If you have
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to go into something physically, then I can understand it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Probably being that's true. Don't want to do Hello, who's this?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's try what's going on? Good morning? Listen to y'all
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: every day many show appreciate we're talking about the four
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: day work with. What's your opinion? Oh, I'm all about it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: We do that right now where I'm at at y'all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: here in the South calcilac where you at in South Carolina,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: carl Wins Little Beach, and where you work at? Did
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you got a four day work week? We do underground
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: utility work, okay, but you work one day you work
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a lot then yeah, one day to Thursday, ten hours
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a day. See, I'm not mad at that. I don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: like the ten hour a day because at least Friday
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you get to do it. Ain't bad go by before
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know it real, it's only extra two hours. Maybe
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that is work. Yeah, maybe that is worth it to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have an extra day off. I know a lot of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: medical people do it sometimes they do like the shifts,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and then they take a certain amount of days off.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And I think you get two breaks and our lunch too,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so it kind of goes Yeah, but I still don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: like this conversation. You don't get an out of lunche
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: when you're working out of five No, I think you're
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes. What the hell is going on? We don't

• 6:45
  Speaker 1: business like court, that's true, or any type of business

  Speaker 1: but that's the only time that they can actually go
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is the weekend because they work. Yes, right, yes, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: never understood that. And that's why a lot of people
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: don't do handle certain business because they have to work
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and know it to live their life, but they can't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: make it to the business that's only still nine, nine
• 7:20

  Speaker 1: hey y'all, I love y'all so much. I definitely agree
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with the four day work week. I work in dialysis
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and it's always been working a twelve hours steps and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: which you do have a good healthy work life balance.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But recently I definitely um step down to three days
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a week in which I'm off on Mondays. I'm actually
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: home right now. So it is definitely a good way
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of living. And like you said, um um Sloman when
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you just said that if you went out of something
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on the weekend, you have that Monday to recover. It

  Speaker 1: really helped you out a lot three day work week.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: How like, how much do you work for a three
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: day work week? So I'll put in like a twelve
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: hours step, and I do have another. I have a business,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Like I've run my own business, so I definitely try
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to balance out, you know, working still having to work,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: but also pushed some our business. Yeah, can you do

• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they're getting more bang for their buck. I really feel
• 10:37
