6:44 am
the most. >> the countries, on an international scale there, i thought we'd rank higher. >> it begs the question of why are americans working more and not taking vacation time? >> it's simple. if you can get paid for that time a lot of people say give me the money, i want to keep working type of thing. >> how many people realistically have that option. >> a lot of people work on holidays because you get time and a half. and it's less busy. so a lot of people are like i get time d work as hard as i would normally do, i'll take that. >> cell phones, tablets, i mean you're so technologically, you know, connected with work, that you're just -- you can't get away from it. >> even when you're off you're still working or thinking about work. for some companies, they make it difficult for people to take time off too. there's that issue as well. speaking of too much of things, we know you love

6:46 am
was something different than no one's done. >> especially when they tackle a blockbuster that was huge that you don't want to see a sequel. and then it's like hollywood, don't you know better? the movies that i love the most are the ones based on a true story. and i think hollywood has kind of turned towards that. you see so many movies that are, you know, developed because it actually happened. >> right. and those are always, usually let us know what you think. in the mean time, it's 6:46. how's the labor day forecast looking? jimmy? jimmy? wake up? we're focusing on this storm here. it's pretty awesome here. with a chance of rainfall coming in toward the area. very interesting. okay. also. clear skies out there. 76 degrees. and 6:46 is our current time. 76 right now. the dew point is 39.
