  Speaker 1: our own Brook Fox tackles a tough question. How do

  Speaker 1: you tell your friend that she's acting like a total Karen?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's a message they need to hear that. The answer

  Speaker 1: is you email our show and have us do it
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for you. This is this is some tough love. Yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I already love this. That's why Brook calls a woman
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: who did something fairly innocuous at her office, but we're
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: going to turn it into a huge deal. We'll see
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: if she takes the bait and goes full Karen. In
• 0:50

• 0:58
  Speaker 1: this is Diana calling for corporate HR. I'm looking to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: speak with Alison. Yes, this is Alsen. I am calling
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because I heard about the incident that happened the other
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: day instant. I heard that you had a little bit
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of an angry outburst when there were no pins left
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in the supply closet. I mean I was looking for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a pen and the supply couthlet was out. I just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: borrowed one from receptionist and told her to order more.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't an outburst. Who let's not lose our
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: heads here. Can we take a deep breath? No? No, no, no,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not angry. I'm just telling you what happened. Okay,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's really fine. I can hear the anger in your voice.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: What And I understand the workplace it can be really stressful.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, emotions they're running high, especially when people in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: authority are questioning you, Wait, what's going on here? Right now?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. What is going on here? I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm asking you. I really don't know what's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: happening or why we're having this conversation. Okay, Alison, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: think it's time to be truthful. And if I'm going
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to be truthful with you, some office inn hr we're
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: concerned that you may take your frustration to another level,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: maybe toss a company chair through a window. What. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: don't know where you're getting none of it happened or
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: going to happen. That's ridiculous. Let's breathe again. There you go,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And I know that it hasn't happened, but I'm sure
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you wanted it to. Okay, I am trying to be
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: calm right now, but it's really disrespectful that you are
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: saying these things about me, saying I have an anger
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: problem when I don't. People with anger problems usually don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have to try to stay calm, they just are calm. Okay,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can you please just take a step back and explain
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to me why this phone call is happening. Well, the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: company has noticed in the current social climate there's been
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of videos circulating online lately, you know, of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: women will say in your general demographic, causing scenes saying
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: some offensive things. Wait, stop, are you calling me a Karen? Oh?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I am not a Karen. No okay, no, no, no, no,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: no no. I would never say that directly to you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It's just with your social standing and haircut and you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: do like Starbucks, my haircut and Starbucks? What are you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: talking about? And we're just being overly cautious because a company,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, we could be held liable if anything were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to happen, just because you've been watching the news and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: seeing these Karen people acting absolutely insane does not mean
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that I am one of them, And then there's no
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: reason to even think that. I don't know evidence. Okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do you hear how you're talking? I'm not mad. Let's diffuse.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm going to open my handbook on this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I don't normally do this, but it
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: says here. Letting that anger out may help. Do you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: want to call me a bad name? I won't punish
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you for it. I don't want to call you a name.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Why would I want to call you a name? I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: promise I won't report you. Okay, you can call me
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: bug eye, big nose? Oh my god, he's wrong. When
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you stop, you're not making what? What? What is happening? No?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Do you like? No, you can tell me I'm not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: doing that. I'm not calling you that. Get your rage out.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Let's work through this. I know that this will make
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you feel better. Stop. You need to listen to me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I am not I'm Karen, and you got to stop
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: saying that I am. I'm putting me in that spot. Okay, Wow,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that was a lot. Does that feel better? Do you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: feel better now? No? I don't feel better now. You
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: pushed me to this place. I'm not this person, but
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you really, really really yep, I hear you. Now. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I tell you that this is all a joke, will
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that make you feel better? No? It won't. I don't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: want what are you talking about? This is actually a joke,
