Speaker 1: Hey, it's the Pickup. Welcome back you, Britt, Laura and
Speaker 1: Mitch here Well thanks to Chempis Warehouse. Why don't your
Speaker 1: head in today? You get great savings every day now
Speaker 1: here at the Pickup. It's a great, fantastic show adored
Speaker 1: by the nation. I'm just reading the press that's in front.
Speaker 2: Of me, the headlines hell every day. True.
Speaker 1: Now we are on air every day. We're on are
Speaker 1: three to four Monday to Friday. But I think that
Speaker 1: could change because new studies out of Australia are saying
Speaker 1: that companies in Australia that trialed four day work weeks
Speaker 1: haven't looked back. So ten Australian businesses who were trialing
Speaker 1: the four day work week, all ten have said we
Speaker 1: love the four day workweek.
Speaker 3: Can you believe that?
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it's not shocking.
Speaker 4: No, I can't believe it because so many people and
Speaker 4: I was guilty of this when I worked to you know,
Speaker 4: it wasn't a nine to five, it was an eight
Speaker 4: until six job. But I used to probably work at
Speaker 4: about thirty percent productivity.
Speaker 2: I reckon i'd walk in.
Speaker 4: There, I would have Facebook minimized down in the corner.
Speaker 4: And yes, I was in the office, but I was
Speaker 4: working at like half blasts.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The interesting part is despite all the like you working
Speaker 1: hours only four days, seventy percent experience and increase in productivity,
Speaker 1: while the other thirty percent said productivity just remained the same.
Speaker 3: So there's no loss at all.
Speaker 4: How do we, as a live radio show decrease our productivity?
Speaker 2: Were like, we're tapping out now, fifteen minutes early.
Speaker 3: I've thought about it.
Speaker 1: Ai, Between the three of us, we have given the
Speaker 1: world enough words to create a radio show with a
Speaker 1: every Friday and people won't even know I was out
Speaker 1: of a job.
Speaker 4: But I also don't know if that's how this works.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's about not doing your job anymore
Speaker 4: and getting robots to do it. I think it's more
Speaker 4: about the fact that people work at such a like
Speaker 4: a pathetic capacity that they could just take a day
Speaker 4: off and still get as much work done. If everyone
Speaker 4: else gets to decrease their workload to eighty percent, maybe
Speaker 4: we should try to as well.
Speaker 3: Why don't we call our boss.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna love this.
Speaker 3: Tony is the boss of the radio station.
Speaker 1: And what just the three of us will put our
Speaker 1: high mind together and pitch a four day work week,
Speaker 1: no pickup on Friday.
Speaker 4: It's not going to go down well. But I also think, look,
Speaker 4: the stats are there. I mean, yeah, there's universities who
Speaker 4: are doing this stuf. And if it's good enough for
Speaker 4: these ten businesses, it should be good.
Speaker 3: Enough right here.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to play good cop your bad cop.
Speaker 1: Sorry by default, die, so I've done a bad cop.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't laugh like that? Tony speaking Tony, it's your favorite show, Tony,
Speaker 1: the man that med the legend, the best boss that
Speaker 1: there ever was, High Afternoon?
Speaker 4: Oh god, what do you want?
Speaker 3: As you know, it's it's the afternoons. We are on air.
Speaker 1: We just want to let you know that we're on air,
Speaker 1: but we have a little pitch for you for the show.
Speaker 4: Look to there has been some studies that have happened
Speaker 4: across the nation.
Speaker 2: And now have you heard of the four day work week?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, Okay, So it's.
Speaker 4: Been proven now that a four day work week is
Speaker 4: just as productive as a five day work week, and
Speaker 4: we think that it's something that we should trial of
Speaker 4: the pick up.
Speaker 1: What industries have said that it's productive?
Speaker 4: Well, look, ten Australian businesses. It doesn't exactly specify the industry.
Speaker 4: So are you saying to me, you're gonna give me
Speaker 4: every reason and under the sun why you should do
Speaker 4: a four day working week.
Speaker 2: Well, we think what we could do.
Speaker 4: We could just extend Thursdays to an extra hour and
Speaker 4: take the Friday off. It'd be better for everyone, have
Speaker 4: a little little rest. We'll come in on Monday. We'll
Speaker 4: feel great, refreshed and ready for the three pm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take over Will and Woody show on a Thursday. Perfect,
Speaker 1: and then they get a four day work week.
Speaker 3: Two okay, okay, right here we go.
Speaker 1: Here's a question for you.
Speaker 4: When you do your radio show. Who am giving it
Speaker 4: three o'clock to four o'clock?
Speaker 1: Who dominantly listens?
Speaker 2: Mum's in cars really small, everyone across this.
Speaker 3: They're going to school to pick up the kids. Yeah,
Speaker 3: to pick up the kids.
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, when are schools on? I'm
Speaker 2: going to stop you in your tracks because I know
Speaker 2: where you're going with this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, give him put listen, Tony listen.
Speaker 4: We knew you were going to say this, so we've
Speaker 4: we've thought of a way around this.
Speaker 2: What we're going to do is an extra fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: a day. At the end of the show on a Friday,
Speaker 2: we're gonna run a highlights.
Speaker 3: We would never leave the people without it. The best
Speaker 3: of the best, so much to choose.
Speaker 1: You feel as though you're not eating your listeners on
Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon.
Speaker 4: Because we're only giving them. We're giving them the best bits.
Speaker 4: They're gonna love that. If anything, we're giving more. Not
Speaker 4: all heroes were capes, Tony, Yeah, but we are.
Speaker 2: So does that mean we're going to trial it.
Speaker 3: I'll put you.
Speaker 1: I'll put you in a different way.
Speaker 3: What if I was to say yes, but it's a Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Fine wetting and I want an inferences?
Speaker 3: Yeah, pays twenty more. Thank you, Boss, Tony.
Speaker 2: Hang up on him before he changes his We are
Speaker 2: not doing this. I love coming because three PM's my
Speaker 2: favorite time of day.

Speaker 2: just love doing the radio show.
