SPEAKER_00: Today I'm here with Casey, who has joined me to talk about the topics that we're going to.
0:09
SPEAKER_00: And the first one that we're going to hit today is Karen.
0:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm so sorry, Karen, we're coming for you today.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: But Karen is a big problem.
0:18
SPEAKER_00: Karen is a big problem.
0:19
SPEAKER_00: And also I'm apologizing to women who whose name is actually Karen and they're not Karen's.
0:41
SPEAKER_00: I did find out today that Karen is breeding.
0:44
SPEAKER_00: You guys, she's had a baby.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: Her name is Jessica.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: Jessica has entered the chat, which is terrible.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: And also Susan is now in the equation, too.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: I know.
0:55
SPEAKER_00: I went to a comedy show and she was talking about a whole thing and whatever.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Susan, who the fuck is Susan?
1:01
SPEAKER_00: Susan calls the cops on Karen.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Susan.
1:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's a Susan.
1:06
SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, all right, so trying to keep up.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: I'm really happy that I learned about the Jessica.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, being the Jessica's the younger version of Karen, like the millennial version.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: I think so.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: So so now Jessica's in the chat, which is rough.
1:20
SPEAKER_00: Be careful with her.
1:21
SPEAKER_00: She's also She's feisty.
1:22
SPEAKER_00: She's out there being people's hull monitors as well.
1:25
SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, the thing that always comes up for me about Karen is it just feels very in everyone else's lane.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, I I preach and obviously I believe it enough that it's a chapter in my book to stay in your own lane.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh, not only for like stay in my lane, you stay in your lane.
1:39
SPEAKER_00: If people are trying to come in my lane, I'll push them out.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: If I'm trying to go in other people's lanes in my life, we check each other and say, like, hey, that's not your lane.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Um, and so I just think Karen maybe doesn't have anyone to check her.
1:49
SPEAKER_00: Uh, that's maybe the issue.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: She just wants to be heard.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: She wants something to say, wants people to agree with her.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, okay.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: Makes her feel good.
1:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: May well, maybe we can figure out other things for Karen to do uh than than be the hall monitor in life.
2:03
SPEAKER_00: Because I think, you know, what jumps out at me is Karen is out there in everybody's business.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: Whenever we hear about uh the ice stuff and people that are protesting for things that they have nothing to do with, uh, I always think of Karen.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: You know, you have all of these, you know, white ladies that are out there protesting on issues that they don't even realize.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: And then you have uh the people that are, you know, representing for who they're supposed to be standing up for, going, we don't want the Karen's You know what I mean?
2:28
SPEAKER_00: She's not with us.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's like you have all of these brown people that are against the things that are happening uh to them specifically, which they all also absolutely have a leg to stand on, and those should be the people that uh are representing and speaking up for themselves.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Uh and then you have Karen in the issue, you know, and Karen gets in all the issues.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: It's like whether it's race or gender or like all of the things Karen is dying to be up in everybody's uh uh business.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: And what I think about that is Karen is so like scared to look at her own monsters and fix her own shit that she's real excited about, you know, plugging in somewhere.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, Karen, go ahead and take a break for a minute because you're not helping anything.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: You're making things so much worse.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: Uh get a copy of my book, go ahead and just invest in your own fixing your own shit.
3:07
SPEAKER_00: Uh and then you can get involved in the things that you're actually passionate about, but nobody needs you involved in all of the things.
3:13
SPEAKER_00: We don't need a hall monitor, we don't need you to in there stirring things up and fucking telling everybody that they're wrong.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: We get it.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: There's lots of problems out there, but you're not being part of the solution.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, I just think that that's really, really savagely important.
3:25
SPEAKER_00: Um I got tired of watching people drag themselves through life half dead from exhaustion, comparison, and bullshit.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: So I built a system that flips the script.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: This book is for the ones who refuse to settle, who know deep down there's more, and who are ready to call themselves out to level up.
3:46
SPEAKER_00: If that's you, welcome.
3:48
SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: You can get your copy of the Life Hack Playbook on Amazon or on the podcast website, let's get nakedpodcast.com.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: What else do I want to say about that?
4:02
SPEAKER_00: I think Karen doesn't realize that her kids are sitting at the the kitchen table waiting for her to pay attention to them.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: Uh and so that's part of the fixing your own shit and realizing that like it's just so much easier to call everybody else out.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, I think you're absolutely right.
4:16
SPEAKER_00: I think it's easier to do that than it is to look at yourself in the mirror.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: So so for our for our mini episode this week, I'm gonna encourage Karen to just stop looking outward, go ahead and just turn that inside, get it, go introspective on what has you getting in everyone else's lane about everything because you're not helping anything, yeah, from what I can see, right?
4:36
SPEAKER_00: From the from my perspective.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: Right.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't think I've ever once been like, oh my God, Karen, thank God you're here.
4:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm actually listening.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Right, exactly.
4:43
SPEAKER_00: Like I think I I think that zero times.
4:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: I think I've I've thought that zero times, like, oh my God, you guys, don't worry, Karen's here.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: We're all gonna be okay.
4:52
SPEAKER_00: I think it's exactly, I think it's just the opposite.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: It's like everyone goes, oh Jesus Christ, Karen.
4:57
SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's a reason why that name is what it is, is because that behavior of getting so far out of your lane and trying to fucking help everybody.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: You know, I've seen some images on socials recently where it's like Karen's trying to help people, and you're like, leave me alone.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: You know, when you think about that, um, there's like the turtle that crosses the road and he's flipped over and she comes and fixes it and whatever, and then he gets smushed or dies or whatever.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, Karen, just leave things alone.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: Unless somebody asks you, just worry about your own shit, right?
5:23
SPEAKER_00: You don't need to be out there on the hunt for every social injustice that's ever happened.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: Um, you're not effective.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: And uh and for that, we're gonna say, fuck you, Karen.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: And that's all we're gonna say about that.
