1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Okay, you sent me this story, and I thought of you. Oh,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: nearly a quarter of American workers didn't take any of

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: their vacation days this year.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Oh, you'll love this. And I'm sure what might be

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: telling you. So remember our boss sent out the letter. Yeah,

Speaker 2: days because you can't take them all at the end

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,640

31
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: to take them off this year. That at the end

32
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: of the year. But yes, I just I like my job.

33
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: I don't I don't like to have days off.

34
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: You're one of these twenty three percent who don't take

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: a single vacation day.

36
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: Is that a staggering statistic? A quarter of workers don't.

37
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Take a single vacation day. Talk about burnout? Yeah, take

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: your days.

39
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: I meant there four I mean and then of course

40
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: I always do the thing. It's like, why don't they

41
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: just pay me out for the days? And he's like,

42
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: this is not a discussion, Rob, that's not a debate

43
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: about corporate policy.

44
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Right because if they do that for you, we have

45
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: to make exceptions for everybody else.

46
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

47
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Now, I, on the other hand, only have two vacations days.

48
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Left of the year, And I'm like, man, would you

49
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: like to guess how many of your days?

50
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: I would gladly sell them to you? May I do that?

51
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: May I sell you my days?

52
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Well, they won't lay you.

53
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: Well I could ask.

54
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: They didn't saying about said I just couldn't get paid

55
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: out by the company.

56
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: Maybe I could sell them to you, buy them from you.

57
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ask when we got out the air,

58
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: see what they say. Maybe they will say that's six okay,

59
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: all right?

60
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: So would you like to guess how many vacation is

61
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Because I did the math, I had to go at

62
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: them because they're in hours in our system, and I

63
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know how many hours that is.

64
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Would you like to guess how many vacation days I

65
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: have left now?

66
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Is this with the week between Christmas and New Year

67
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: off or without it?

68
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: No, like I'm saying right now, oh right, no day

69
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: because I haven't technically taken any days off because nothing's

70
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: been approved. Would you like to guess right now how

71
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: many vacation days I have left in our system? Well?

72
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: I know that's five days. I know you're putting in

73
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: for this coming Monday. So that's six days. You probably

74
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: have another what five or six on top of that.

75
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say eleven days, keV.

76
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: Would you like to guess how many prices right rules

77
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: you go over you lose? Would you like to guess

78
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: how many vacation days I have as of today?

79
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess eight vacation days? Are you're going with eight? Cases?

80
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 3: With eleven?

81
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Eleven?

82
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: Eighteen? How way?

83
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Eighteen?

84
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: Really, here's what people need to realize. Down the street

85
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: from us, my hobby is making those people at the

86
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: state House miserable. Don't tell our bosses this, but I

87
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: would do this for no money. I get such joy

88
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: out of ruining those people's day.

89
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to hear any of that talk

90
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: because then you'll set a precedent any of it.

91
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't I come to work? Why would I not

92
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: come to work when my hobby? I get paid to

93
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: do my hobby, and I get great joy in knowing

94
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: look Spite is a heck of a motivator, Casey, and

95
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: spite is what gets me out of bed and in

96
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: my car, which barely runs by the way, but it

97
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: gets me here each day. Is to make those people

98
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: at the Indiana State House as miserable as I possibly

99
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: can now.

100
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: That's not one of the reasons listed here for why

101
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: people don't take time off. Forty three percent felt they

102
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: had too much work to justify taking a vacation.

103
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: That's a horrible excuse out, it's bad.

104
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Thirty percent worried about falling behind at work, twenty nine

105
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: percent felt guilty or pressured to appear committed to their jobs,

106
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and then twenty five percent said their manager would respond negatively.

107
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you just.

108
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: Super enjoy your job and or like me, enjoy your

109
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: job and are motivated by spiting your fellow man, then

110
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: you got to take your days.

111
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: You have to take your days. They say the benefits

112
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: of your PTO increase focus, creativity and resilience, reduce risk

113
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: of burnout, and improved mental well being. Do you hear that?

114
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: This is the We've been through this though.

115
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Every year I go do my physical and every year

116
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: they're like, we cannot believe your blood pressure like it's

117
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: and you know, heart rate and everything. And I tell

118
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: them and I have no scientific evidence to back this up,

119
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: but just my owners understanding. I get it all out

120
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: here in three hours a day, like I don't have

121
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 2: any energy left to be angry about stuff when I

122
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: go home. My ability to take my frustration out on

123
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: the Indiana General Assembly and the governor and the clown

124
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: statewide office holders and the senators. It makes me a

125
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: good father because I just have nothing but calmness in

126
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: my life gets out here.

127
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: You're getting all those negative emotions out with me and Kevin.

128
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: We're so lucky. It's it's it's a different sort of energy.

129
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: It's absorbing a different energy.

130
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: I want to buy my days.

131
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: How much you owe me a dollar for betting?

132
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: Do I owe you one dollar?

133
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I'll pay you one dollar.

134
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: Oh you know day.

135
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: These days are worth way more than one dollar. When

136
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: we get off the air, See, we can do this

137
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: all
