Speaker 1: Jay Sean and Lil Wayne this morning on Kiss FM.
Speaker 1: I think Tuesday is a good day to address this
Speaker 1: work life balance. It's almost become cliche. How's your work
Speaker 1: life balance? Oh, I'm achieving work life balance? But are
Speaker 1: you not? Really? I mean, I don't know that we
Speaker 1: have work life balance. I think that we have. We're
Speaker 1: better at sort of like saying we have boundaries, and
Speaker 1: I think that it's more accepted now. I remember, like
Speaker 1: years ago, if you weren't on your phone and available
Speaker 1: at all times, people look down on you. Now they
Speaker 1: actually kind of appreciate it when you say I'm put
Speaker 1: my phone down. But are you really achieving work life balance?
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a couple of jobs here, so
Speaker 1: does it ever really slowed down? I mean, Biataka be
Speaker 1: asking you something all the time, right, or a program.
Speaker 2: Director anybody for that matter, Like I have to answer
Speaker 2: my phone if JoJo's calling me, or anybody or any
Speaker 2: of the jocks at all times.
Speaker 1: And Tony, do you think you have good work life balance?
Speaker 3: No, because the problem is I don't know. I can't
Speaker 3: not do something. So like I took on the book,
Speaker 3: which is like a huge project that kept me so
Speaker 3: busy for like two and a half years. On top
Speaker 3: of what I do.
Speaker 1: We kind of like don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Speaker 1: You think of the pandemic. It's like that was so weird.
Speaker 1: We don't know what tomorrow will bring. And so there's
Speaker 1: two schools of thought. One is like you've got to
Speaker 1: just like make hay while you can, and the other
Speaker 1: is or make life while you can. And it's hard
Speaker 1: to balancely intersect those two ideals, I think. But like,
Speaker 1: for example, Belinda is here and Belinda works in my office.
Speaker 1: So Belinda, I'm just gonna announce right now that my
Speaker 1: phone is dead from Friday like noon till Sunday night. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's my work life balance. But the problem is will
Speaker 1: I actually do it? No, I'm gonna try, but will
Speaker 1: I actually do it? I mean, that's the thing you say,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you break your own rule. Right,
Speaker 1: And so many young Americans today are children of immigrants,
Speaker 1: and they say, you feel some of them feel pressure
Speaker 1: to succeed because of the sacrifices their parents make.
Speaker 2: I can see that. Yeah, I feel that way.
Speaker 1: So where are you with work life balance? There's no
Speaker 1: conclusion to this. I just wanted to bring that.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Like if you had to rate your
Speaker 3: work life balance on a scale of like zero percent
Speaker 3: is you have horrible work life balance, and one hundred
Speaker 3: percent is you have great work life balance, where would
Speaker 3: you rate yourself?
Speaker 2: Ciny I would say, I'm like a eighty percent.
Speaker 3: Wait, what does that mean? I know I gave the scale, but.
Speaker 1: Now I'm confused. I think she's at eighty percent.
Speaker 3: Oh, good balance.
Speaker 2: I think I'm okay. I you know, I try to
Speaker 2: get all my work done as far as like everything
Speaker 2: that I need to do for all my other jobs
Speaker 2: here at Kiss's done done before I leave the station,
Speaker 2: so that I'm not at home on my laptop doing
Speaker 2: that work, you know, and then if anything comes through
Speaker 2: where I have to like answer the phone for a
Speaker 2: phone call, it's just like a phone a quick phone
Speaker 2: call or a text. It's not actually me on the
Speaker 2: couch or me at the dinner table on the laptop.
Speaker 1: And Mark, Yeah, I sent you this topic right, yes,
Speaker 1: this year, said at three o'clock this morning.
Speaker 2: You sent a topic about work life balance at three
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because clearly I need to work on it. Jikes,
Speaker 1: Lucky you guys didn't get this at three in the
Speaker 1: morning in the back room. That's ironic, trying to break
Speaker 1: in slowly, I mean work in progress. My good news
Speaker 1: is Mark responded at four, so everybody needs to focus
Speaker 1: on this. That's why I brought it up. That's a conclusion.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
