1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: If you're listening to Will and.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: Woody is Australia the burnout capital of the world. It's

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: really wild. I reckon there's a premise because, as you

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: were saying to me beforewards, that's certainly not. We do

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: everything we can in Australia to give off this image

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: that you know, everything's.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Chill, laid back, we're just taking it.

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Easy, but in truth we're all working bloody hard. Yeah,

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: and again I do recognize the irony of the fact

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: that two guys are doing a two hour radio show

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: talking about this, But the reason I want to talk

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: about it we might need that music again. Tell me

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: because political activists Sally Rugg she's off to cut a

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: rug because she's she's walked out. She was the chief

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: of staff for one of those Teal independents and she's

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: suing her saying, you're working me too, bluddy heart. Seventy

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: hours sometimes, seventy hour weeks. Sometimes that's ten hours a day,

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: well done. If working week in, well done, well done.

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: That little bit maths working hard, but bloody clever too. Yeah,

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: So seventy hours a week she was working sometimes and

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 2: she was like that's too much. I can't be working

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: that much, and she was saying, we're the burnout capital

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: of the world and I and there's obviously this counter

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: argument here that you know, the boomers are basically saying,

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, harden the hell up, you sure get you know,

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: get back at it, and all you people that want

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: to work at home, you're over indulged.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, sure, we.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: Know the argument. Yeah, you know the argument of course. Now,

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: not surprisingly, I'd like to throw my cap in the

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: ring for working smarter not harder. Here we go, now,

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: now I do I want to bring something up here,

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: and it does tie in, and that is that one

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: in four one in four after the Osaka earthquake in Japan,

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: because let's face it, Japan's got probably the most hectic

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: work culture on the planet. Yep, right, it's almost this

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: on our culture where you're disgracing yourself unless you're you know,

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: literally chained to your desk and you're not leaving at midnight.

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: And different to us, there's a lot of pride attached

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to it's all how long you work.

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Their whole societal structure is based on his idea of pride. Right, Yeah,

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: but that is getting so hectic over there, and I'm

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: not sure if it's getting to this point in Australia,

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: but it's getting to the point in Japan where one

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: in four Japanese people, there's a survey done recently, have

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: admitted to actually dreaming about murdering their boss. Wow, and

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: not just dreaming about like plotting them, like how they

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: would do it, what they would use because they hate

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 2: them so much, but they're not allowed to say it.

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: They hate them.

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: So that is the plot of Horrible Bosses too, and

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: one actually for that mat I don't know why went

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: stretched the sequel.

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know the plot. So after the Osaka earthquake

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: in Japan, where like the roads were ripped open, the

56
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: trains are falling down into the earth, the are buses,

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: people dying everywhere. It happened at seven fifty eight in

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: the morning or something right, So when they're on the

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: way to work, all these Japanese people reported getting messages

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: from their boss where they'd check in. First of all,

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: and they were like, oh, my boss is checking in

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: with me. But then they realized that the check in

63
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: was just basically to see whether or not they could function. Oh,

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: and then they would say you're expected at work in

65
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: an hour.

66
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: During an earthquake.

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they'd say, well, they'd be like, I can't

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: get on the bus because the road's open, so I

69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: can't get the bus to work anymore. I want to

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: go and check if my family's okay. And then they're

71
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: right back and be like, well you can walk.

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So there's a real question for you. Yes,

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: do you fantasize about killing Big bad Briani? Oh wow,

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: bloody girl.

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Can he deal with it if the earthquakes.

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: If he wasn't so terrifying. But he's intimidating. He's intimidating.

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I get in there, he could kill

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: me with his eyes. He's a very scary man. But

80
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: I do I do fear that. I just I don't

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: know that in Australia we are very good at I

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: do think there's a real issue with the fact that

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: we guilt people for not working hard enough, and I

84
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: reckon that's the wrong way to go about it. It's

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: just it's just not the point. Like my sister in

86
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: law started working in Denmark recently. She said they rock

87
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: up at nine and to leave at four and they

88
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: work four day week, but they get more done there

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: than when she was working in the Netherlands because they

90
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: just know when they're at work, they work bloody hard.

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. Which day are we cutting

92
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Friday on Monday? Oh, let's drop Wednesdays.

93
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: So many people who read the mid are now going

94
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: made you work two hours a day, buddy, that you

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: work two hours a day, and you said last four

96
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: minutes complaining about here we are absolute slaves.

97
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: We're wrapping up today.

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,000
