7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: our own Brook Fox tackles a tough question. How do

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: you tell your friend that she's acting like a total Karen?

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: It's a message they need to hear that. The answer

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: is you email our show and have us do it

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: for you. This is this is some tough love. Yeah,

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: I already love this. That's why Brook calls a woman

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: who did something fairly innocuous at her office, but we're

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: going to turn it into a huge deal. We'll see

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: if she takes the bait and goes full Karen. In

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: your phone tap right now, it's another on the twenties. Hello,

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: this is Diana calling for corporate HR. I'm looking to

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: speak with Alison. Yes, this is Alsen. I am calling

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: because I heard about the incident that happened the other

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: day instant. I heard that you had a little bit

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: of an angry outburst when there were no pins left

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in the supply closet. I mean I was looking for

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: a pen and the supply couthlet was out. I just

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: borrowed one from receptionist and told her to order more.

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: But it wasn't an outburst. Who let's not lose our

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: heads here. Can we take a deep breath? No? No, no, no,

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not angry. I'm just telling you what happened. Okay,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: It's really fine. I can hear the anger in your voice.

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: What And I understand the workplace it can be really stressful.

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, emotions they're running high, especially when people in

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: authority are questioning you, Wait, what's going on here? Right now?

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: That's a good question. What is going on here? I

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm asking you. I really don't know what's

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: happening or why we're having this conversation. Okay, Alison, I

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: think it's time to be truthful. And if I'm going

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: to be truthful with you, some office inn hr we're

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: concerned that you may take your frustration to another level,

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: maybe toss a company chair through a window. What. I

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know where you're getting none of it happened or

40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: going to happen. That's ridiculous. Let's breathe again. There you go,

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: And I know that it hasn't happened, but I'm sure

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: you wanted it to. Okay, I am trying to be

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: calm right now, but it's really disrespectful that you are

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: saying these things about me, saying I have an anger

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: problem when I don't. People with anger problems usually don't

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: have to try to stay calm, they just are calm. Okay,

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: can you please just take a step back and explain

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: to me why this phone call is happening. Well, the

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: company has noticed in the current social climate there's been

50
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: a lot of videos circulating online lately, you know, of

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: women will say in your general demographic, causing scenes saying

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: some offensive things. Wait, stop, are you calling me a Karen? Oh?

53
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: I am not a Karen. No okay, no, no, no, no,

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: no no. I would never say that directly to you.

55
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: It's just with your social standing and haircut and you

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: do like Starbucks, my haircut and Starbucks? What are you

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: talking about? And we're just being overly cautious because a company,

58
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we could be held liable if anything were

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: to happen, just because you've been watching the news and

60
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: seeing these Karen people acting absolutely insane does not mean

61
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: that I am one of them, And then there's no

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: reason to even think that. I don't know evidence. Okay,

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: do you hear how you're talking? I'm not mad. Let's diffuse.

64
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm going to open my handbook on this.

65
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I don't normally do this, but it

66
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: says here. Letting that anger out may help. Do you

67
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: want to call me a bad name? I won't punish

68
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: you for it. I don't want to call you a name.

69
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Why would I want to call you a name? I

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: promise I won't report you. Okay, you can call me

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: bug eye, big nose? Oh my god, he's wrong. When

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: you stop, you're not making what? What? What is happening? No?

73
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Do you like? No, you can tell me I'm not

74
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm not calling you that. Get your rage out.

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Let's work through this. I know that this will make

76
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: you feel better. Stop. You need to listen to me.

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I am not I'm Karen, and you got to stop

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: saying that I am. I'm putting me in that spot. Okay, Wow,

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that was a lot. Does that feel better? Do you

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: feel better now? No? I don't feel better now. You

81
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: pushed me to this place. I'm not this person, but

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: you really, really really yep, I hear you. Now. If

83
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,480

Speaker 1: want what are you talking about? This is actually a joke,

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480
