WEBVTT - MINI! The Pickup have something VERY SERIOUS to talk to their boss about...

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's the Pickup. Welcome back you, Britt, Laura and

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Mitch here Well thanks to Chempis Warehouse. Why don't your

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>head in today? You get great savings every day now

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>here at the Pickup. It's a great, fantastic show adored

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>by the nation. I'm just reading the press that's in front.

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Of me, the headlines hell every day. True.

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Now we are on air every day. We're on are

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>three to four Monday to Friday. But I think that

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>could change because new studies out of Australia are saying

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that companies in Australia that trialed four day work weeks

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't looked back. So ten Australian businesses who were trialing

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the four day work week, all ten have said we

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>love the four day workweek.

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 3>Can you believe that?

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean it's not shocking.

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 4>No, I can't believe it because so many people and

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 4>I was guilty of this when I worked to you know,

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.279
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't a nine to five, it was an eight

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 4>until six job. But I used to probably work at

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 4>about thirty percent productivity.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I reckon i'd walk in.

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 4>There, I would have Facebook minimized down in the corner.

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 4>And yes, I was in the office, but I was

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 4>working at like half blasts.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the thing.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>The interesting part is despite all the like you working

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>hours only four days, seventy percent experience and increase in productivity,

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>while the other thirty percent said productivity just remained the same.

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 3>So there's no loss at all.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 4>How do we, as a live radio show decrease our productivity?

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Were like, we're tapping out now, fifteen minutes early.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I've thought about it.

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Ai, Between the three of us, we have given the

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>world enough words to create a radio show with a

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>every Friday and people won't even know I was out

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>of a job.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 4>But I also don't know if that's how this works.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's about not doing your job anymore

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 4>and getting robots to do it. I think it's more

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 4>about the fact that people work at such a like

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 4>a pathetic capacity that they could just take a day

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 4>off and still get as much work done. If everyone

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>else gets to decrease their workload to eighty percent, maybe

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 4>we should try to as well.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 3>Why don't we call our boss.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he's gonna love this.

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Tony is the boss of the radio station.

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>And what just the three of us will put our

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>high mind together and pitch a four day work week,

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>no pickup on Friday.

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 4>It's not going to go down well. But I also think, look,

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 4>the stats are there. I mean, yeah, there's universities who

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>are doing this stuf. And if it's good enough for

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 4>these ten businesses, it should be good.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Enough right here.

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm going to play good cop your bad cop.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Sorry by default, die, so I've done a bad cop.

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't laugh like that? Tony speaking Tony, it's your favorite show, Tony,

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the man that med the legend, the best boss that

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 1>there ever was, High Afternoon?

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh god, what do you want?

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>As you know, it's it's the afternoons. We are on air.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>We just want to let you know that we're on air,

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>but we have a little pitch for you for the show.

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Look to there has been some studies that have happened

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 4>across the nation.

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And now have you heard of the four day work week?

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course, yeah, Okay, So it's.

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Been proven now that a four day work week is

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 4>just as productive as a five day work week, and

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 4>we think that it's something that we should trial of

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 4>the pick up.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>What industries have said that it's productive?

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, ten Australian businesses. It doesn't exactly specify the industry.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 4>So are you saying to me, you're gonna give me

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 4>every reason and under the sun why you should do

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 4>a four day working week.

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, we think what we could do.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 4>We could just extend Thursdays to an extra hour and

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 4>take the Friday off. It'd be better for everyone, have

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 4>a little little rest. We'll come in on Monday. We'll

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 4>feel great, refreshed and ready for the three pm.

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll take over Will and Woody show on a Thursday. Perfect,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and then they get a four day work week.

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Two okay, okay, right here we go.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's a question for you.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 4>When you do your radio show. Who am giving it

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 4>three o'clock to four o'clock?

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Who dominantly listens?

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Mum's in cars really small, everyone across this.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 3>They're going to school to pick up the kids. Yeah,

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>to pick up the kids.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So with that in mind, when are schools on? I'm

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>going to stop you in your tracks because I know

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.040

<v Speaker 4>We knew you were going to say this, so we've

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 4>we've thought of a way around this.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>What we're going to do is an extra fifteen minutes

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>a day. At the end of the show on a Friday,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.040

<v Speaker 1>a Friday afternoon.

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.480
