is it work a day

01:54 Why does the host oppose "is it work a day" (routine) and "wake up and go", which can be though of as routine as well?

It's not "wake up and go" as one thing. It's "Do you still wake up every morning and say to yourself ("go") 'Am I really the vice-president of the United States?'". That's not a routine, as such. He's basically asking her if she's so used to being VP that it's just "a job" or if she still has trouble believing she's in that job.

First, if you mean he treats them as opposites you haven't managed to say so. "Opposes them" would mean he is arguing against them. If you mean he treats them as opposites, he doesn't. It's just a very short list consisting of two items: routine and workaday. Secondly, note that workaday is all one word.
