Speaker 1 (00:08):
Call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on
I five five five one morning. Everybody is DJ n
V Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We
got our co host Jason Lee and if you're just
joining us, we're talking about the four day work week. Now,
they're saying that a four day work week actually is
(00:29):
better for workers. It said it's better for a product, productivity,
it's better for health, it's even better for finances. So
we're asking, would you want to do a four day
work week, but that does mean you would have to
work ten hours a day four days. I'm not mad
at that. I would do my ten hours a day
and get off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Baby. You we
(00:50):
all love what we do, so you're always working. When
you're not here working, you're where your wife's work. We're
always working. So this this generation wants and excused to
be at home period. I think it'll make you more productive. Like,
for example, I don't do Monday as well, Like I
really don't even get in my groove until Tuesday. Even
here at the Breakfast Club, there's certain things we don't
do on Monday, or try not to do, like interviews
(01:10):
after the show, right, or nor do we like doing
interviews on Friday after the show because we'll be ready
to get out of here. Yesterday's Sunday, I met my
daughter's cheerleading competition all weekend, drove back three and a
half hours from Rhode Island. Although I love coming in
here because the energy in this studio is fantastic this year.
I mean, I haven't had to light my stage once,
but I would still rather not have to talk and
tell tomorrow. But what change this year that you have
(01:31):
to bring and says it's not the hours, just the studio,
the energy. So see, I see, I would say the same.
I just flew back in Sunday, and yes, I need
I need a kickstart, you know, I mean I need
I need Tuesday. That's what I'm saying. On Tuesday. Monday
is kind of tough. That's why even with interviews on Monday,
you're kind of down a little bit. Now. To Jason's point,
there's there's I love everything that I do, and there's multiple,
(01:54):
you know, businesses that I have my hand in. So
I guess when I say I would need a four
day work week, it's just from radio. I don't want
to get up at six o'clock in the morning to
do radio on a Monday morning. But we've been doing
it for all these years, and that's why you guys
are in the Radio Hall of Fame. That's right. And
that's how I know I need a four day work
week because I've been doing it so long. That's how
I know he's he's a Monday of Friday. Gotta go, bro,
(02:14):
you see. But this is the thing. Even when I
miss a day, I miss it. Though I'm not gonna
sit here line like when we off, I'll be like, damn,
I still get at the same time, my boy. It
depends what's going on. When I enjoy Still, I enjoyed
my time off. I'm gonna tell y'all that right now.
I enjoyed my time of the breakfast club. It's endorsing
this ridiculousness. I've notified my entire staff. I will relocate
(02:37):
the Hollywood Unlocked to Dominican Republican or somewhere. Y'all can't
take a day off door because y'all are a blog.
Even do we call y'all a blog? No, they try,
but no, we're a media company, media company. Seven, you're
a media company. That's twenty fourth seven media company. Sort of,
let's go hello, who's this morning? Hey, Michelle more talk
(03:00):
to us before day work with all right, I've done
before day work. We I did it when I used
to work for See Mobile, but it was a little different.
We did it for ten hours a day. But I
loved it. I loved having three days off. Damn, I'm
telling you, what days did you have off? Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
That's perfect. That's perfect. So Thursday, when your day is over,
you could just bounce if you need to. Yeah, And
(03:22):
it really wasn't that late. It was like through the turns,
so you can still go out, you can still do things.
You kind of swept in a little bit. Now I
have kids, so it's a little different, but I'm not
gonna I'd rather have the Monday. The only reason I
rather have the Monday is because Friday you get off work.
So you got all day Friday to do whatever you
want to do, all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
I rather that than have the Friday. Take the Friday off.
(03:44):
Thursday you get out of work. When you get out
of work, then you could dip on Thursday night. Now,
you got the full day Friday, full day Saturday, come
back Sunday, flying back from places on a Sunday night.
They have to work on Monday morning. They ain't never
hit bro. You know what I'm saying. Like I've been
needing that Monday to recover sometimes. And I guess it
also depends on what your career is. If you have
to go into something physically, then I can understand it.
Probably being that's true. Don't want to do Hello, who's this?
(04:07):
It's try what's going on? Good morning? Listen to y'all
every day many show appreciate we're talking about the four
day work with. What's your opinion? Oh, I'm all about it.
We do that right now where I'm at at y'all
here in the South calcilac where you at in South Carolina,
carl Wins Little Beach, and where you work at? Did
you got a four day work week? We do underground
(04:27):
utility work, okay, but you work one day you work
a lot then yeah, one day to Thursday, ten hours
a day. See, I'm not mad at that. I don't
like the ten hour a day because at least Friday
you get to do it. Ain't bad go by before
you know it real, it's only extra two hours. Maybe
that is work. Yeah, maybe that is worth it to
have an extra day off. I know a lot of
(04:49):
medical people do it sometimes they do like the shifts,
and then they take a certain amount of days off.
And I think you get two breaks and our lunch too,
so it kind of goes Yeah, but I still don't
like this conversation. You don't get an out of lunche
when you're working out of five No, I think you're
thirty minutes. What the hell is going on? We don't
get lunch of pears. I mean because we're here for
breakfast dog yeah, Jesus Christ, lunch. It's the middle of
(05:11):
the day. I am thank you. But eight hundred five
A five one oh five, when we're talking to four
day work week, do you prefer that? Let's talk about it.
It's a breakfast club. Good morning, it's topic time call
eight hundred five A five one oh five. Want to
join it to the discussion with the breakfast club morning.
(05:32):
Everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne, the guy we are the
breakfast club. Jason Lee is here. Now if you're just
joining us, we're talking about a four day work week. Now,
they're saying this four day work week, it's supposed to
work for people very very well. They're saying it helps
with people's productivity, their health finance is approved, and there's
a lot of companies doing it. So if you want
(05:54):
to work a four day work week, do you think
it's better, do you think it's worth? Would you do it?
I'm all in for the four day work all about it.
I'm not gonna lie. Give me that Friday offer, that
Monday off. I really want that Monday. Monday is, Monday
is the tough day. Tuesday. My mouth don't even get
working till Tuesday. Maybe I'm not falling nothing. I'm grown
out right. Trade baby. Juliet, Hey, good morning, good morning,
(06:23):
Good morning God. What are you calling from, mama? Um? Well,
I'm currently um long out in New York, but I
currently reside in Georgia. I got Georgia. Okay, we're talking
about a four day work with. What's your thoughts, Mama?
I think the morning workmen is go great because it
gives people an extra day. And he has a personal
(06:45):
business like court, that's true, or any type of business
that happens only like nine to five when regular people,
you know, business people work are nine to five, you
won't have to say golf. You won't lose your money.
I think it sounds good. Yeah, that makes sense, and
I never understood that anyway. A lot of the places
that people have to go to clothes on the weekends,
but that's the only time that they can actually go
(07:05):
is the weekend because they work. Yes, right, yes, I
never understood that. And that's why a lot of people
don't do handle certain business because they have to work
and know it to live their life, but they can't
make it to the business that's only still nine, nine
to five. What day would you want? Friday or Monday?
All right? I love you, but you may get like
(07:27):
hard now what you think Friday, Monday or the middle
of the week you might need a nap for to
me now, I ain't doing it a little week no,
do you realize if I agree? But I'm gonna take
Monday because I don't really like getting up on Monday.
Me too, thank you, mama. What you do realize if
you take Monday off tuesdays now you're Monday. I'm fine
with that. It'll it'll feel different though I can't explain it.
(07:49):
I just know that if I don't got to get
up Monday Tuesday. I'm ready. I think that day of
recovery on Monday sometime. Bro, Hello, who's this? You couldn't
be Scott pio Alina too sick. What's up? Brother? We're
talking to four day work with Could you do it? Yeah? Yeah?
I did a man about twenty years ago. Man, I
worked for the spot. You know, we worked Monday through Thursday,
but was seven to seven to twelve hours. Yeah, and
(08:11):
ours overtime. You know what I'm saying. You got overtime though, man,
But like Charlo Man and yeah, yeah, you got a
I was overtime before they than eight. Where did you work?
What do you have to do? Well? It was there
was two places called comfortal Plastics twice out of this
little spot called Roseborough. Man. Don't call a lot of
Bay Pike stuff though, you did, Jesus Man. So Friday,
Satday he was tired as hell he was he was recovering.
Oh yeah yah yeah yeah yeah. But I wish, like
(08:33):
Charlotmne thing they do Friday because plenty you know what
I mean, you could be cover on that day for
I'm telling you, man, think about when you've been out
all weekend, like say on Sunday, especially when the summertime
hitting his day party season and you've been drinking, you
need that day to recover. On the Monday, you want
to go to Jim Do you go to day party? No, No,
don't know it. You don't know it. But even if
(08:54):
it isn't a day party, you might just be drinking somewhere.
You might just be out and enjoying a barbecue, a cookout.
You need that Monday to get all that out your system.
Seven to seven. Your whole life is to just at work.
I couldn't do it. Chantel, good morning, Hi, go morning.
In this stance out for rich Live Virginia. I definitely
hey y'all, I love y'all so much. I definitely agree
(09:18):
with the four day work week. I work in dialysis
and it's always been working a twelve hours steps and
which you do have a good healthy work life balance.
But recently I definitely um step down to three days
a week in which I'm off on Mondays. I'm actually
home right now. So it is definitely a good way
(09:39):
of living. And like you said, um um Sloman when
you just said that if you went out of something
on the weekend, you have that Monday to recover. It
really helped you out a lot three day work week.
How like, how much do you work for a three
day work week? So I'll put in like a twelve
hours step, and I do have another. I have a business,
Like I've run my own business, so I definitely try
(10:02):
to balance out, you know, working still having to work,
but also pushed some our business. Yeah, can you do
a three day work week? That's and that's part time
because it's three twelve so thirty six hours. Yeah. Nah.
There's countries that have already adopted this, by the way, Denmark, Norway, Germany,
the Netherlands, Iceland can body all the places Hollywood, A
(10:24):
lot will not be Really what's the moll of this story?
The more of the story is, man, I think, um,
it'll increase productivity. It'll make people feel, you know, like
they're getting more bang for their buck. I really feel
that way. The more of the story is, find you
a career that you're in love with, so that way
it doesn't feel like working. Just work your ass off.
You still need a bank. You need that time off
(10:44):
sometimes just for your mental and emotional health. Sometime, man,
I need that time away, or just have sex four
times a day? If you good, that's that's ridiculous. That's ridiculous.
Would you imagine, would you rather work five days a
week before or sex four days or four times a day?
Well happening, U would not rather have one? Would you
rather work five days a week or sex four times
a day? Five days a week? Nobody got time? We
(11:09):
having sex? No, four times a day, Jesus, we do?
We do. Slim thug doesn't want to be gay, so
he's not wearing designer clothes. What I'll make him make
sense later? All right, we'll get into that. Next is
