Either you heard him wrong, he told you wrong, or you are making it up.
It's can only be scheduled as
8 on, 6 off
or
7 on, 4 off
or
6 or less on, 3 off.
It is the seam period between schedules.

It's been addressed multiple times by the pilots, by the union, etc.....
So again I tend to believe this was a made up conversation on your part, or you are embellishing certain facts of your conversation.
