WEBVTT - Is Froomes The Ultimate Karen? 😠

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms.

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Hello.

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 3>I just did a massive breath out and you went,

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:09.120
<v Speaker 3>what's she doing?

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Gearing up? How is your breathing? Yeah, it's getting better.

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I had a bit of a long covid vibe. Is

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 3>that ski, No, life's too short to worry about that.

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Worry about what having long covid?

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I get you.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, today we're gonna be talking about Karen esque behavior.

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't make me say the tenth time, but I'm a Karen.

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's made you disclose. This fully came from you out

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>of nowhere. There is a bit of a rumor starting

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>in the comments that somehow I was one who called

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 2>you a Karen and therefore yourself identifying this did not

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>come from me. I know it sounds like it would have.

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 3>I didn't you talking about comments all the time. I

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen these comments.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You gotta go on our TikTok and our my TikTok

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>and my reels because people are always doing discourse there.

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 2>TikTok is long taking them taking stuff too seriously.

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I come to I'm like, gosh, oh yeah, I posted

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 3>the other day that clip of me laughing about the

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 3>aliens and I got all these comments with Denise hit

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 3>this ain't it? I really usually like your content. I'm like,

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 3>do you really, because if you did, you would know.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Denise Stoner, for those of you who didn't see

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>it a couple of weeks ago, now through me, was

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>trying to disprove the disproved that aliens exist, and so

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 2>naturally she brought in some evidence, which is really awesome.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I was open to hearing it. It's good to maintain

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>an open mind. It was a first person recount of

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Denise Stoner's encounter with what she says were aliens, but

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>she was also two years old when it happened. But

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>basically the one and a half minute clip consisted of

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>about fifty five seconds of Rooms laughing and about twenty

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>eight seconds of me looking confused. And the comments on

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Frooms's page were, you know, usually I like your content,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.279
<v Speaker 2>but it's really mean to be laughing about about people's

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>beliefs like this is really offensive. Good on flex taking

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>it on the gym? Were need alien discrimination acts? Yeah?

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>For real? I don't know how we got to that point,

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 2>but anyway, we're going to be discussing thummy's self, dignifying

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>self diagnosed Karen behavior, which I want to get into

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>in more detail because being a twenty seven year old

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Karen's pretty rare.

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what it's because I'm starting it, so the evolution.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.119
<v Speaker 3>By the time I am of Karen age, I'm sick

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>of being a Karen on.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Your phase back out nice.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Life is a cycle, and it's a circle. And stick

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>around because.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. Life is a cycle, and it's a circle.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>That's really lovely.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>It's been a minute since I've asked you a moral dilemma,

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>because usually it's incriminating you for my every time and

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out the middle grounds. And I don't

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>want that to be the case. So I'm coming to

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you with a light one because I'm actually intrigued to

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>see what you would do. So the question is, what

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>will you do in the first twenty four hours of

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>winning fifty million dollars? It's in your account, it's there

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>ready for you to spend. You've woken up, it's nine

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>am on the dot. What are you doing? Okay?

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I am going to McDonald's because McDonald's is my death

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 3>row meal. So it's also kind of like the meal

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 3>when I celebrate things when it's my birthday.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Stuff like that, humble queen.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 3>So go to McDonald's, get anything that I want. Probably,

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 3>I still want to live within my means because I

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 3>know the more money you have, the easier it is

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 3>to dispense it through different There's fifty million.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't tack me every day, every meal and not

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>even make a dent in it.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>I've probably gone to real estate dot com and like,

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>have a look at what I could buy, start planning.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I go visit my parents, maybe take them out for

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 3>a beautiful dinner, go for a go to a car

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>out of my dad, give him a car, that kind

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.839
<v Speaker 3>of fun stuff. Make said of my parents, you never

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 3>have to work again from this day forward. Drop it

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>on a few quotables that way, an't that?

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you do? I will? The tricky thing is I

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>had seen a TikTok that ID posed this question and

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody responding to it. So I think it skewed my

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>idea of what I would or wouldn't do. But I

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>can tell you what is best practice. So immediately you

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>should be going to see a lawyer. Oh yeah, to

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>safeguard you, to make sure that you're protected with this

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>extra income and wealth. Apparently it's actually quite dangerous to

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>have it be known that you've won any kind of

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>money that's like, you know, a lumpsum. So you should

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>go to a lawyer allegedly. Then from there that lawyer

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>should put you in touch with a financial planner of

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 2>some sort and then almost like protect you from your

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>wealth in some senses. So give yourself an allowance, maybe

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>get a million dollars a year. Maybe you're allowed to

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>make a few key purchases and the rest gets put away.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Not what it might be, but I feel like after

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>you do that first big batch of spending, like you

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>get the iPad, you know, no Apple iPad, You get

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the McLaren, you get the Lambeau, you buy a house,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you invest in a few businesses, become a little angel.

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Investor great time to be investing. Stock market half crash? Yes,

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 3>great time. You might go through ten mil and be

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 3>like not what to do? Great stop, and then from

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 3>there play it cool.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>You got to do that Zuckerberg thing where you just

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 2>wear the same T shirt and jeans every day so

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone thinks you're a simple person, but realistically the T

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>shirt is five hundred dollars and the jeans are a

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars and you're a robot? What car would you get?

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>A hummer? What? You don't like that? This is giving

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 2>or you don't like me? This just reminds me. We

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>were talking earlier outside the studio about the era where

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>you had a cube. Yeah, what's like it's the ugliest

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 2>scar on. Honest, if they did luxury cubes, I would

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>go back. I'm a push to start heated seat, ceramic coating,

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>panoramic summary of tapping girl. We do love a panoramic

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>sun ray. We love a cube, suits me. Why don't

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>you say that anyway? So that's I think. How happy

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 2>when you let go of the cube. I thought you

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>were going to come rolling in in one of those Chrislers.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I would. The point is, I think that for all

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 2>the talk we do, for all the conversations we have

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>about being millionaires, we're not setting ourselves up for success.

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>The first thing to do when you win fifty mil

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>isn't going to a fast food vendor. I'm giving out

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Kasha Bondo beachmackers. Yeah, okay, good to know.

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Because we are manifesting more money this, it's probably good

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 3>to know what happens when we get it.

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms.

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 3>I talk a lot about my Karen like tendencies. I

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 3>would say my natural form absolutely a Karen. Surprised my

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 3>name wasn't Karen. My middle name Lucinda Karen Price.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>You kind of do have a Karen vibe about you,

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think that the average person interacting with

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you would even feel like you have any semblance of

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Karen in you, because you do, like have. I would

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>say your disposition, your general vibe is agreeable, charming, polite,

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>all the good things.

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 3>They're always the ones hiding something.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm the opposent. You're Karen presenting, Karen presenting. I'm

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>not about that lie.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm very surprised when you do extreme acts

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 3>of kindness, which shouldn't surprise me. You're very like generous

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 3>with money literally stuff like that.

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Maryone's like she's a gremlin, goblin hater.

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and sometimes I'm nice anyway, So I'm trying to

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 3>reign in my Karen. You say, as you gain a

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 3>bit more of a profile, you need to be careful

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 3>with how you act in public.

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Only when you gain a profile, for the rest of

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you who don't have aspirations to be a public figure.

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry about your attitude irrelevant. I was on a

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>plane and I was sitting in the middle seat, and

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>as everybody who flies knows, if you're in the middle seat,

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you get both the armrests. We have had a discussion

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>about this before. I firmly believe that if you're flying budget,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>you don't have any say on who gets armrests, when

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and wear. It's this gentle dance you play with your

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 2>seat companions. That's very elitist. It's very elitist.

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 3>It's not I had my Kurren moment this weekend. I

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 3>was at a cafe with my mother, and my arm

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>and cappuccino came out.

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Asked for extra chocolate, No extra chocolate. I don't know

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>what an arm and cappuccino is. Cappuccino is like, usually

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 2>come with chocolate. Yes, it comes with a light dusting

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>of chocolate. I said, I would like an almond cappuccino

0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 2>with extra chocolate, which is very.

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>To ask for as a twenty seven year old Karen,

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 3>but I did it. Anyway, comes out no extra chocolate.

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. I can live with that.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 3>However, upon inspecting the rim, I noticed there is something black, curly.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And of a pube variety.

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>There was a pube dangling off my coffee as if hair.

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>No, this was giving pube.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 3>I know, saxture sick okay, with the perfect amount of

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 3>curl girth.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I took it too far hair girl for girthy pube.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 3>And I did consider not being a karenathone, just like

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>take it off. But my mother actually brought out her

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Karen and said.

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 2>The original Karen. Two generations in Karen will come together,

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>tag team. So I brought it over and got into context.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>You have said your mum Heather is a gentle kind woman,

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.719
<v Speaker 2>but you said those are the ones to watch out.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>She Karen's.

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 3>She Karen's at the correct time, so FLEXI as a

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 3>self confessed Karen. I'm basically saying that so that in

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 3>the future, when I do something Karen esque, whether it's

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 3>purposefully or by accident, no one can turn around and say, hey,

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 3>that through me. She acts all nice online, but really

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.599
<v Speaker 3>she's a Karen. I'm putting it out in the universe.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's a quickly double check. Do you think when

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>people are perceiving you to be nice, kind, gentle bit

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>of a hapless damsel. Do you think they're just reading

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 2>you a bit wrong and then holding you to their

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>perception of you? No, I am how I present.

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 3>However, I'm concerned about when I'm concerned about being misconstrued

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>and like misunderstood, and I believe people are always going

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>to misunderstand you. So I'm quite I know what I want,

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 3>and when I'm out in public, I'm walking with purpose.

0:10:54.760 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm asking for things that I'm entitled to. Whether in

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Titlanent's probably a whole nother conversation. But you know, I'm

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>not like a wallflower. I'm not going to bend to things.

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 2>So if we were to quiz your audience right now

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram and ask them, is it clear to them

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>that you are and have always been a Karen? The

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 2>majority would say.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, they can't be trusted. Whatever I say, they're going

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 3>to the contrary. I can never get a clear answer.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Nobody knows. Nobody knows if it's a joke. Everybody thinks

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 2>it's a joke. Ah, You're like the The Boy who

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Cried Wolf, but the comedy version facts. Everyone thinks it's

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a bit when in fact you're being really serious.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 3>It's like when comedians I know put up something really earnest,

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, are you taking the pits out of

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 3>this thing?

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Your people to really vote? Like do you want people

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to recycle? Kind of weird, But I was actually googling

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 2>what Karen means. We all know what I was doing

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 2>that too, or really, that's really awesome. I like that.

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I went on the Wikipedia to you in

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 3>the Wikimediaay.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I've got it right, We're in sync.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 3>It's got the haircut in the Wikipedia, it's got how

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 3>to pronounce Karen phonetically. But what I thought was really

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 3>interesting is the origins of Karen.

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 2>This is a bit that stood out to me.

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 3>In African American culture, there is a history of calling

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 3>difficult white women or those who weaponize their position by

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 3>a generic prerogative nameative.

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.439
<v Speaker 2>What pejorative? Pejorative? What does that mean? We're not prerogative

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 2>thinking of derogatory.

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 3>In the Antebellum era, which was an actual era eighteen

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 3>fifteen to eighteen sixty one, miss ann was used. In

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the early nineteen nineties, Becky was used, and as of

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 3>twenty eighteen, the use of Karen caught on. Alternate names

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 3>matching particular instance were used, such as barbecue, Becky, cornerstone, Caroline,

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:54.479
<v Speaker 3>and permit Patty. Karen is the stereotype to an older soccomum,

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 3>which makes a lot of sense.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anything else you wanted to add to that? Na,

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you for sharing. The thing about karening is I

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 2>think I'm a lot more aware of optics than you are,

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 2>because I'm always judged far more harshly, just naturally. But

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>also I think it's really interesting because I don't Karen

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 2>in the way that you Karen. In public spaces, I

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 2>definitely have to rain in my entitlement because in my

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>head it's off the charts and like it should be

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 2>done all my time, blah blah blah, bah blah blah.

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>And we all see my external struggle with that. I'm like,

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>got about my tongue, but I don't want it.

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 3>But I got it, but I don't want to do

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 3>you because we always have this conversation. You say that

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 3>I should be able to say what I think online,

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 3>but you're saying that you don't.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not talking about online, I'm talking but I

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 2>was saying that we carry in a different ways. See online,

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel quite comfortable to do what I want and

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 2>say what I want, because I have actually built an

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>ecosystem where that is where my internal understanding of the

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>world takes precedent over the world. Right. But as soon

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>as I get into shared spaces, I am mindful of

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 2>not wanting to take up space in spite of people,

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>even if I feel entitled to it, which is why

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel some kind of way about, for example, the

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>middle seat thing, because that just reminds me of like

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>stereotypically entitled people who would do that, and then I'd

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 2>be on the receiving end of it, like some random

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 2>old man in the middle seat being like those are

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>my seats, Like, well, it's none of our seats. Like

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 2>we've all paid to be on this flight. We can

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>do a polite dance between each other and decide who

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>gets to have those armorus, but it's not yours. Similarly,

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>if I'm in a restaurant or whatever and I'm like

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 2>something's gone wrong, I'm like, I'm not gonna Karen, but

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not here doing volunteer work. If I paid for something,

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna want to get it. I think the difference

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>between being a Karen and being confrontational is that confrontational

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>is just generally uncomfortable for people. But karening is making

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 2>other people responsible for your individual comforts. Yes, and it's

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 2>like the two. Sometimes there's a correlation, but often it's

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 2>like that's not my business, Like if you want the

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 2>middle seat, if you don't, if you feel like Uber

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't talk to you or they should, these are all

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>like your internal expectations that have now like left your

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 2>internal like ecosystem, and now you're allowing others or expecting

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 2>others to get on board, which I think is nice

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're in like an environment with context and the

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 2>base side is like i'll do something for me, you

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 2>do something, do use something for you, le Blin. But

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 2>generally I'm like, it's too much.

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Your example with the old guy in the middle seat,

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 3>isn't it hard then to rain in your inner car?

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 3>And when it's like you've experienced that so many times

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 3>from that type of person, like it's very hard to

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 3>not see them in a stereotypical way, especially if they're

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 3>seeing you in a stereotypical way. For example, I'm sitting

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 3>in the middle seat and there's two old guys next

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 3>to me, business men. We're on Quantis, which no shade quantas,

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 3>but it's very much that clientele.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, corporate baddies.

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Corporate baddies, corporate daddy's nice kind of like granddaddy's. Anyway,

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 3>they're both taking my arm rests like I.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Know that the language, they're taking my eyes. I think

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that like in the eye of the Karen and this goes.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>This reminds me the fact that everybody is like while

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the Internet was getting upset at white men, like it

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>was like white women that voted for Trump. This is

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>the thing, Karens don't realize that when you're Karening, you

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>are the bad guy. Karen's always feel like victims when

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 2>they're doing bad guy things. Yes, I agree, that's me

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and that is the issue with Karening as a whole.

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like they're looking outwards and being like, no one

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>could ever see me as somebody who is in the

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 2>wrong here, because at least I'm not that guy. It's like, no,

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you are that guy, just like in a different haircut,

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 2>but like same same people, both short, short in the

0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 2>back shot back inside. That's a great point, FLEXI We'll

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 2>get reckoning because I feel like there's something to say

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 2>about being a twenty seven year old Karen that we

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.719
<v Speaker 2>haven't gotten to the crux of because you're not alone.

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>People feel really it felt really empowered when you said

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>you were a Karen.

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Really yeah, yeah, I like when people are honest. It's

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 3>hard to say that you're a Karen, especially in this context.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You know this is the real discrimination. Thank you.

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 3>He's waiting for somebody to say it. Flex, So glad

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 3>you're standing up for my people. Until next time. Oh,

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 3>every week, I'll try and bring you a little part

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.679
<v Speaker 3>of Karen that I'm trying to I'm trying to like

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 3>dissemble it so we can.

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Write a proper character profile, one that's like not one

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense for now twenty twenty two. Love it.

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>This is Flex and Frooms on kDa.

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask you something? Did you know that we

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 2>can't drink sea water? Why? Oh? Can I guess? Yeah,

0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>because there's pooh in it. No, that's not it. And

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if this is common knowledge. But for

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>all the talk I do with the apocalypse, I honestly

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>thought going down to the beach and speaking up on

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.159
<v Speaker 2>water would have been a viable thing to do. It's not.

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.439
<v Speaker 2>We can't drink sea water because human kidneys can only

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 2>make pea that is less salty than salt water. Therefore,

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of all the excess salt taken into

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you when you drink sea water, you have to urinate

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 2>more water than you drink, which is not possible. So

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 2>eventually you die of dehydration as you become more thirsty.

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Huh right, And finally I understand because you know, I

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.439
<v Speaker 2>love Vikings the TV series. I don't know. Yeah, So

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>every time they got their going little boat expeditions to

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>like pillage and do wars, I was like, why you

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>always so thirsty? You're literally in the water for months.

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Turns out not drinkable.

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I wonder because they obviously purify water. Do we get

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 3>water from the ocean ever to drink? That's yeah, springing water.

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 3>But also I'm sure you can purify water. That's what

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 3>they do in countries that.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that's how you make salt. Do you extract

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the water from the salt.

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, then it's like a two in one, so okay, wait,

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 3>when you eat salty food.

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any more answer. That's all I had.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.439
<v Speaker 2>That is all The screenshot that I stole from the

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>internet gave me how many sources to side.

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>This is Flex and Frooms.

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>About two weeks.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Ago, a package arrived for us at Cada Sure did.

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>It was two little packages with a book inside, and

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.679
<v Speaker 3>it came with a bath bomb, kind of like a

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 3>cute little pr gifting. And I personally love it when

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 3>a book is sent my way because it reminds me

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.679
<v Speaker 3>that I'm cerebral, that other people consider me to be

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 3>smart and somebody that reads books. Yeah, and as someone

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 3>who never grew up reading books, I really like this

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 3>arc that I've created. Anyway, The book in question was

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 3>a book called something. Did you end up reading it?

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Not yet? You know, I don't read paperbacks and apprecia

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>they get sent I do a little Hey everybody read this,

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 2>But if I'm going to read it, I download it

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 2>on Kindle. Are you going to download this one? Yeah?

0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know much about it? Can I give you? Please? Yeah?

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I haven't finished it full like full even better? Yeah,

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 3>even better. So I'm about like three fourths of the

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 3>way in, so I'm like very much involved with the characters,

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 3>et cetera. It is a book written by a woman

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 3>called Alex Sarkis. She is from the West western Sydney

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.880
<v Speaker 3>and it's basically about a woman called Nicole Nijam and

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 3>she works at her dad's car dealership.

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm reading it. I'm reading the first is she

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 2>also selling window tints.

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 3>She's taking photos of the cars to put them up

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 3>on carsiles.

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Amazing.

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 3>She hates it though, her dad just like sits in

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 3>the office all day watching movies.

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Again, very safey to be the boss.

0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 3>It does, and she it's like going through relationship and

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 3>her love of the area. And it was so nice

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 3>because here on Cada there's a show called the Area.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Clearly I didn't know what that was because I'm from Melbourne.

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.399
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know. I had no idea. So I'm just

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>hearing the area. What's what area? It's the area, And

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I've learned all about it through this book.

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, I've learned like a kind of like from her eyes.

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I love reading about things from an author that is

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 3>speaking about where they grew up. And she does it

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 3>so well. And in the book she talks about like

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 3>going all around Sydney, not just West like. She describes

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 3>what people from Bondai are like very much seen. She

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 3>says they're like younger versions of people from like the North.

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 3>They're like the North Shore people. But more creative, which

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess I agree with that. Anyway, they go to

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 3>like restaurants in Bondai. They go to all these different places,

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.360
<v Speaker 3>and I love it because she doesn't name check them,

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 3>but she gives enough detail so you know exactly what

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 3>she's talking about.

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 2>No free press, exactly exactly. She's one of us. So

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 2>what is the book about?

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 3>The book is about she's been broken up with and

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 3>she's like grappling with what it's like to be a

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty six year old. I'm pretty sure she's Lebanese, Lebanese

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 3>woman in this community where like everyone that age is

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 3>having weddings and the lavish weddings. Some people have said

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 3>the book similar to Looking for Ala Brandy, which I

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 3>definitely got that, and I absolutely loved it because in

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.159
<v Speaker 3>it there's lots of dialogue and text between her and

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 3>these different guys, and they speak the way that we speak.

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.479
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's really unusual to find a book

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 3>of that quality and that colorba that also speaks in

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 3>a way that we speak. Like this is going to

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 3>be a runaway hit. So what would you rate it?

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I would like for what I what kind of person

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:37.439
<v Speaker 3>would you recommend it to?

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 2>It's an easy read.

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.399
<v Speaker 3>I think it would be appreciated by avid readers as

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 3>well as like beachside readers.

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Is that a word like holiday reads?

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I get you. It's pretty easy read. It's a

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.360
<v Speaker 3>romance but it's not wet. But it's also like sentimental

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:54.160
<v Speaker 3>not wet. You know, things are wet.

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 2>You're doing it again? What your synaesthesia thing? Oh no, no, no,

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that's that's like a proper expression, like things are wet.

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's a bit wet. Have you heard that? I

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like when it's too suppy, like, oh, so

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 3>so suppy.

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible. It's a good one. Yeah.

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I would recommend it to people who are looking for

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 3>a bit of like romance. I think it's also a

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 3>really good book for just Australia and just seeing someone

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 3>like talk about the area in a way that's so

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 3>clearly loves it and so also cognizant of how everybody

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 3>else perceives it. She talks about like her cousins and

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 3>these like guys that are drug dealers and stuff like that,

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.640
<v Speaker 3>but in a way that's not stereotypical.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Ten out of ten you've got to

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 2>go read. Okay, now you lost me. Now you've lost

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>me because even my favorite books, there was a moment

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 2>in time where I used to read a book and

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>then review it on Instagram stories, and even my most

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>favorite books I made sure when I was writing reviews

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 2>they had to have cons because I don't trust people

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 2>who throw out ten ten out of tens and no cons.

0:23:58.160 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>What is this you put me off?

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't read enough books to be able to rate them, Like,

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand you can definitely rate them. I just

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 3>say I would rate it. You should read it, you

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 3>should buy it. It's a young Australian author and she's

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.399
<v Speaker 3>following the footsteps of another woman that was published by

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 3>the same publisher called Diana Reid, who did a book

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 3>called Love and Virtue. I'd put them in the same book.

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember that. Well. Thank you for those recommendations. I

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate that.

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Flex and Firms on CADA.

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell you about this thing I've been doing,

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 2>which involves not listening to anything the first hour of

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the day, because it ties into why this happened. Basically,

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I was driving to Cada and I was looking at

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 2>this white, average soccer mumish car. I'm sure you'd know

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:45.119
<v Speaker 2>the name of it. I don't know car names, but

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>she's a Sorrento perhaps, you know. In the lane next

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>to me, Toyota arras maybe bigger than an arras, looks

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>like a Hende cap tiva holding cap tiva, that kind

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 2>of vibe, I digress, don't maybe stop it. So myself

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and this car we were driving at the exact same speed,

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 2>which meant that we were, you know, neck and neck

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 2>for too long, to the point where I was like,

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 2>do you want to tell me something? Because why are

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 2>you in my business? Like that? Then I had an

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>intrusive thought, what if there was someone in the car

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to get my attention? What if they were trying

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to drive nearby so I would look over and see

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.439
<v Speaker 2>something that somebody wanted me to see. So then I

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 2>had this vision, this visual that I would turn over

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and that there'd be someone holding an a four piece

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 2>of paper to the window saying help me, and what

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>would I do? And that definitely that thought took me

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:44.720
<v Speaker 2>to I think there was like a fifteen minute drive

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>worth of thoughts about this very specific scenario that isn't impossible,

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 2>But I just don't know why it would be happening.

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So I say that again. If you were driving next

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to a car you turn to look at their back

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 2>window and you saw somebody holding up a white a

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>four piece of paper that said help me, what would

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>you do? What would be your initial reaction? I need

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.959
<v Speaker 2>to know the age of this person. I can't see them,

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 2>the windows are tinted. I just kind of see the sign,

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and I know that someone's holding it because their arms

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 2>are moving around, and then they took it away really quickly.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I gotta follow the car. Really, yeah, I'm following the car.

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna call my dad and say, hey, I just

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 3>saw this thing. What do you think? And then hiss

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 3>what it's called loose detective. He's like spider sense raigey vibes.

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh would say, nah, you go follow them? Oh, very serious,

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 3>and then he'd be coaching me and saying, now you

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 3>got to follow them, this is very serious. I'd follow

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 3>them in a snoopy way, just hanging behind them, and

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 3>then see where they park and then call the police.

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 2>How far would you follow them? Because in this instance

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.439
<v Speaker 2>where I saw this car, not that this was a

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 2>real scenario. The car that I used to beef up

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 2>my imagination, my fantasy. We were on a motorway going

0:26:59.880 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 2>one hundred ks. We weren't getting off anytime soon. Just

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 2>follow on, Wow, what would you do? It took me

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>a minute, And I definitely think that there's a reoccurring

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 2>theme in situations like this, Like, for example, when I

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>have nightmares and I don't know what to do, I

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 2>always phone a friend, which is very odd for me

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 2>because I was for the longest time felt like a

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 2>lone wolf, like I'll just figure out by myself. I'll

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 2>do it by myself. I don't need any help now.

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm always leaning on people. So I would definitely call

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Sully and I'd be like, hey, can you just take

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 2>this number plate down. I'm explained to her what's happening,

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and then say I'm either gonna make a little status

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 2>about it and let other people figure out what's the

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>appropriate thing to do, and based on what they say

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>should be done, I'll do because I'm not a very

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the kind of person who's gonna call the

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 2>police for anything at the first drop of what could

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 2>be something that's not very me. And I definitely think

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 2>there's value in citizens vigilanteism, where as a community we

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 2>figure out what is the appropriate thing to do, because

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to just like waste resources on some

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 2>little kid playing games in the backseat and incriminating their parents.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.439
<v Speaker 2>But I also feel like I'm not following because if

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you're in danger, I'm in danger. Okay, we both can't

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 2>be in danger. It's above instincts.

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 3>People need to know you call your local police station.

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 3>So if you see something a little bit dodgy, don't

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 3>call Triple zero. Have a little Google find your local

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.879
<v Speaker 3>police station. Call that number. They always pick up.

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 2>A Karen would know that. Yep, literally, this is Karen

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 2>one O one. I never heard of this.

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.600
