All language subtitles for Annie King - Less Work More Freeuse 31 08 2025

Yes, I'm aware it's Labor Day, but I'm
not aware of the memo I sent where I

said nobody has to work because it's
Labor Day.

Yes, I understand that you're home with
your family and you're trying to spend

some time with your son, but I need
those numbers.

I don't know how many ways I can say
this. I need them today.

Not tomorrow.

I need those numbers today.

Good morning. What's up, Mom? Happy
Labor Day.

No, this really isn't up for debate.

I can give you a couple hours. That's
the best I can do. I don't have any

other flexibility around this. Are you
really working on Labor Day?

Give me this.

You're done. No, I do not have time for
this. Give me my phone back. Mom, you're

a workaholic. You've been working all
month. It's Labor Day. You need some

rest. Son, can you please give me my
phone back?

No, you're going to have it back in a
little bit, okay?

I have so much to do today.

It doesn't matter. It's Labor Day.

Everyone keeps telling me it's Labor
Day.

Let's get you out of this office attire.
You need to rest today, okay?

Let's get you in your nice pajamas.

I can't work when I'm in my pajamas
because I'm not in the right head space.

Well, that's why we're going to get you
out of this.

Oh my god, I was in the middle of a
conversation. Did you not hear me

talking on the phone?

Well, it sounds like they didn't want to
be working either.

Well, that's the entire problem.

Well, you really need to rest, mom.
You've been working so much, it's

getting ridiculous.

Well, I'm not quite sure who you think
pays the bills around here, but there's

a reason why I work so much.

What do you mean?

Well, you can get back to it.

On Tuesday.

On Tuesday? You just said a couple of
hours, so I'm going to hold you to that.

I have to be working today.

Fine. At the very least, help me get
this off you.

We can start there, and then we can talk
about it later.

Thank you.

I just don't understand why people are
thinking that today is not a day that

we're working. I don't know why you're
thinking that. I don't know why my

employees are thinking that. I didn't
tell anybody that we weren't working

today. Well.

So stressful.

Let's not think about it right now. How
about you lay down and I can give you a

quick massage.

As long as you're going to leave me
alone after this. Fine.

Am I in the correct relaxed position for
you, not working?

Yeah, this is good.

Here, turn around.

Someday you'll understand, but it's like
trying to be paying the bills and having

to work, even if it is Labor Day.

Mom, shut up. It's okay.

Just shut up.

thinks that he doesn't have to work
because the call just ended like that.

Now he probably thinks he's off the hook
and I'm not going to get my number.

It's just really hard for me to relax
when there's things dangling over my

head like that. I answer to people too.

Do you understand at least a little bit
where I'm coming from on this?

Yeah, I get it, but it's also Labor Day.
It only happens once a year.

Well, no, because then you have
Thanksgiving and you have Christmas and

you have all these other holidays where
people think that we don't need to be

working. And it's important to take some
time off.

Why is that?

Because it'll help you be more efficient
when you work.

I don't know about that. If you just
burn yourself out, you're not going to

work that efficiently.

what they say and I don't agree with
that at all.

Well, how about we try a little
experiment? You just chill today and

then tomorrow maybe it'll work better.

You can get back to me on it. I already
know how that experiment works out.

I get behind, I don't have the numbers,
people asking me for the numbers and

that's a problem.

call them back at some point reminding
them that I do need those numbers and

that my call just got disconnected for
some strange reason.

Maybe you're not all wrong about the
relaxing. This isn't awful.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay.

You really made me do this, aren't you?
Yeah, I am.

In my pajamas, trying to get me out of
my work brain.

Uh-huh.

That's kind of the point, Mom.

Your brain is always activated, like, on
go.

You need to just chill.

Just a little bit, right? Mm-hmm.

Yeah, just a break.

I think I can agree to a break. I'm
feeling a little more relaxed.

All right.

So yeah, just lay down, get some rest.

Make sure to eat your breakfast
whenever.

But you're not getting bit for at least
a couple more hours.

Yeah, it's okay. I'll get it back to you
in a bit.

Yeah, so about those numbers.

Yep, now I understand that you're still
with your son.

If you want your stupid son to go to
college, I highly suggest you get me

those numbers.

Today.

I don't know what you're not
understanding.

By the end of today, I need those
numbers.

Oh my god, mom. You're still working?

Yep. Not kidding.

End of today. Those numbers.

Thank you.

You can have them back later.

It's still Labor Day. What are you
doing?

I still want to get those numbers I
need.

You can get them later. They're not
going to go anywhere.

Okay. Well, they need to be going
somewhere. They need to be coming to me.

God, you need to calm down. You've been
working so much.

All right. Obviously, the massage didn't
work, so let's try my medication.

A meditation? That's stupid. I don't
even know what that is.

Well, lucky for you, I know how to
meditate, and I can guide you through

this. Okay, so sit down.

There you go.

Okay, now try to just breathe for a
second.

I'm breathing.

Oh, my God.

I was working out. I was doing something
for myself.

But you were all busy. I can multitask.

You should just be focusing on one
thing. That's the point of meditation.

Let's focus on just your breath. Mm-hmm.

I'm focusing on my breath and those
numbers that I need by the end of today.

Oh, my God. Will you please stop
talking?

Okay, clearly there's only one way to
shut you up.

Mm-hmm.

Just be letting him out.

Now just try to pretend that you're in a
nice, grassy plane with a nice breeze

coming through, and you're just sitting
down, meditating.

Now just try to relax and focus on your
breath.

Okay, it's really important to try to
calm down.

and release some stress whenever you
can.

Am I still supposed to be in this meadow
or wherever I am?

Yep.

Be quiet. Try to just focus on yourself
right now. Good breath.

Yeah,

the numbers will still be there after
you're done meditating, okay?

Don't you feel better already?

Yeah, I am feeling much more relaxed
again like you said.

Yeah,

I think that's just what you needed.

I'm nice and relaxed, and I'm just going
to go take a shower.

Okay. Okay.

I'm going to take this, though.

I trust that you're just going to take a
shower. That'll be a good way to relax.

Yeah, of course. Just a shower. No more
workout.

You have no more phones, right?

No, of course not.

We've already taken two. How many phones
could I have?

All right. I trust you, Mom.

Okay. Thank you for helping me relax
again. Yeah, of course.

My pleasure, Mom.

I just care about you, okay? I know, I
get it.

Alright, so yeah.

I'll let you go take your shower.

Alright, thank you.

Thanks, sweetie.

Love you, Mom.

What the fuck is this?

These numbers are all wrong.

I don't care if it's Labor Day or your
son's birthday.

Stop singing happy birthday and go do
your job.

Hi, Mom.

Since you've been such a good girl, I
decided to give you back your Bluetooth.

Still working?

I'm just finishing up a couple of
things.

Do you have another phone?

No.

Then I can see your Bluetooth.

I... Where is it?

I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm just wrapping up a couple of emails.

Give me that.

Where's your... Where's the phone? I
told you I don't have a phone.

I'm just working on my laptop.

That's... Bullshit. I don't feel
anything. You took all of my phone.

Stop working for a second.

Okay, let me find a phone.

I don't have one.

Then what were you using your Bluetooth
on?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I just heard some vibrating.

No. Yes. It must be my laptop
overheating.

Is it in your pan?

Why would I do something like that?
That's ridiculous. You took all my

phones. I'm just working on the laptop
and I'm almost done.

Take this off.

I told you I need to be in my work
clothes to get work done.

Well, that's why I'm taking it off
because you need to stop working.

What is going on here?

God.

Take this off. This is ridiculous.

I'm just wrapping up a couple of...

There's no phone down here? No.

That's bullshit. Take this off.

Are you serious?

It's gotta be somewhere, right? I can
literally feel it vibrating.

I told you, it's the laptop.

Laptops don't vibrate.

What are you talking about?

What is this?

No, how did I get sick?

That's ridiculous.

Okay, you need to stop working and just
chill.

I can't relax when I have work hanging
over my head like this. And you can't

tell your employees not to think happy
birthday to their children. That's

crazy. Well, it's distracting him from
getting that he sent me all the wrong

numbers. And so now he has to do it all
over again. So maybe he should just

focus the first time.

I know what I'm doing. There's a reason
why I made it to where I am at my job.

I get that, but a lot of people don't
like the way, how bossy you are.

Not bossy. I'm just opinionated and
confident in the work I do.

Somebody has to be in charge, you know?

Uh-huh.

You need to relax and stop working so
much.

Of course, sweetie.

Are you still working?

I told you, I just have a couple of
emails to wrap up.

I will be done soon.

Okay, I need to distract you somehow.

Lay down.

This is ridiculous.

Abby,

you're still working.

What are you doing? Let me finish up
this one.

What?

Are you kidding me? Nope.

I'll be able to relax and spend some
time with you if you just let me get

this email finished.

See,

if he had just found my ass... All we
can do here is now have to email my

bosses to explain to them why they don't
have their numbers or mainly why they're

all wrong.

You know your boss is learning to work
today, right? Yes, we are.

Look, the green dot is on. It means they
are working.

They probably just left their computer
on.

No, no.

I'm so guilty. I'm so guilty. Oh, my
God.

You don't understand what it's like to
work responsibility.

Oh my

God.

My son wouldn't let me work today. What
am I supposed to say?

On his labor day.

What the fuck?

It's a holiday.

She doesn't spend it with her family.

I don't know about that. If labor means
work, does that mean we're supposed to

be working?

I care about you, mom. You need to
chill. You need to relax and

have some time for yourself.

You're always working.

and I was only able to pay, so... You
need to spend some time with your family

also.

Relax when all I'm thinking about is
everything else that needs to get done.

And you should have a breathing
meditation when you do this. Oh, that's

just awesome. Yeah.

You said it helps.

You said it helps.

Are you fucking serious?

Leave it alone.

By taking things off.

I don't know if you really understand
how all that works, but that's not how

it works.

It works so much. You can catch up to it
later.

I know, but like I said, you get behind
and then now I'm behind. And as soon

as we get behind and everything, ugh.

Shh.

Just be quiet for a second.

Ugh.

I hope you know all this music is
working later into the night now. I

still have to get it done.

Oh, why can't you just do it tomorrow?

Yes, tomorrow I have a million other
things to do.

Are you serious, woman? Stop.

Stop.

You can call and explain why we should
be working on this. I thought you were

saying you were the boss. Aren't you?
I'm still answering to people.

I'm some people's boss, but I have my
own answers as well.

to have another boss.

Well, that's what I mean.

I'm trying to not.

Have you ever heard the saying that good
workers get punched with more work?

Yes, you can keep proving yourself.

I just need to do more and more work.

I have to talk to you like this. You
just keep working.

I can literally

hold you down.

Make you stop working.

You're so fucking ridiculous.

Come on, come back.

Oh god, oh my god.

Oh my

god.

Oh fuck, that was great.

Are you kidding me now?

I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna be eating
these again, okay?
