Welcome Christy James, Welcome, Martha Quinn, Welcome me. Karina velaskis,
why do they say lassie?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Well, I think it's like lad I think it's like
lads and lassies. Yeah, so you know, laddies a laddies,
Hey lassies. But okay, where do they say that. I'm
gonna guess Scotland.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I say the UK. I think the UK somewhere over there, Yeah,
somewhere across the pond.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
But let me shout out the movie Lassie. However that
what's her name? Elizabeth Taylor?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Did?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
She was like eight years old. There's like no talking
in it. It's just basically this dog running around trying
to find its home. It's so riveting you'll be on
the edge of your seat. I'm not kidding. So it's
so good, can't miss. It's a can't miss film.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, I have a can't miss riddle this morning or
this afternoon or this evening. Depending on whenever you're listening.
So what has to be broken before you can use it?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
What has to be broken before you can use it?
Martha Quinn? You want to guess first.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well, I'm gonna say, like like the seal on your
vitamin bottle, you have to break that before you can
get into the vitamins. No.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean that makes sense, but that's not the answer.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know this.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I feel like I'm going to be wrong anyways, Christy
if I say this, but is it a clock?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, that is not it. But you want to give
us a.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Clue a promise. No, because if it's broken, then no,
you can't use it. No, it has to be broken
a bone before you can.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
How would you break your bone and then use it? Karina, Well,
we'll just ponder that, but the answer will come up
a little bit later on in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I like it. Little Cliffhanger, Yeah, who shot jaur Action?
Going on in Talk Talk with Martha Quinn. What episode
is this? Kreean of Alaskas.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
This is two hundred and forty two.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Hundred and forty with Talk Talk with Martha Quinn. So
the topic this week was inspired by Billy Idyl Billy
revealed that he's working on a documentary about his life,
and I love this title. It is so funny. Billy
Idle should be dead. OI. So we were talking about
(02:37):
if there is going to be documentaries about each of us,
what would they be called, Christy James, what would your documentary,
the documentary about your life be called? If you can't
think of it, you know, kreanon, I could confer. But
if you have one, let's hear.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It going going go.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh good?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Why because I'm always going somewhere, going somewhere on the go,
and so I feel like that would sum up everything going,
going go, which is kind.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Of a twist on the phrase going going gone, because
for you it's going going and just still going still
doesn't end. Gone is kind of an ending. The going
going go is so good.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, And then it could just sum up everything that
I've done in my life, growing up in Fremont, the Navy,
going to the Navy, and then going back home to
pursue radio, and then still on the go. Not to
be confused with gone girl, no, because that would be
kind of dark.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But yeah, I mean I pretty much describes you, Christy,
because she's literally you're literally always on the go exactly,
what about you, Martha Quinn?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What would your documentary be called? I have two choices.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Number one could be Honhn. Did you hear me, Hon?
Because that's how I spent my life. Okay, your head,
that is how I spent my life. Yeah, hon Hon?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He like, great, well if.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
He would listen, what's that?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I said, Well, if he would listen, you wouldn't have
to repeat.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It exactly, believe me. And and this is what will
happen like this just happened yesterday. I was I was
trying to say I kind of knew that this was
going to be our topic, and I was saying, I said, hey, quick,
what would a documentary about me be calledn What do
you think? Quick? And I was trying to make it urgent,
you know, So he gets with me, quick, we're going
to be doing our podcast more. What do you got
(04:45):
still a phone? Phone? Phone? I'm like, okay, well, I
gotta go, because you know, we had to start, and
so I go, I gotta go, and all of a sudden,
I'm literally walking out and then he goes, wait, where
are you going? And I said, I'm leaving. I used
up all my time asking you if you heard me.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Han's original MTVVJ Martha Quinn and Hon Hanhun.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I think it's just Hon Hon Hon. Did you hear
me Hon? The story of Martha Quinn after MTV? I
don't know, something like that. But if that wasn't it,
I think I call my documentary I love rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's great like that. I think it fits for you.
I think jone Jets might be a little a little
bit ticked off since she snatched it from her song,
and maybe she might want to use it. But I
feel like if you call Dibbs first, it's yours or.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It can also be born into rock and roll between
you and me. That's not a jone Jet song.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I love rock and roll.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
She made a popular but she is, she's covering it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh yeah. I don't think you can copyright a title,
but let's.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
See you can. Yes, you can, because.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I know not a tit not a title. Do you
have a song?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Because I could have swear Taylor Swift does it all
the time.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
No, you can't.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Can't copyright a title, a song title.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You have to be able to ever have a biography
called I Love rock and Roll. I think she does
I'm just asking my bestie chat. I'm pretty sure that
Joan Jet does not have a biography totaled titled I
Love rock and Roll. That's however, her life and career
have been documented in various forms, and the phrase I
Love rock and Roll is closely associated with her due
(06:23):
to her iconic nineteen eighty one hit. But however, there's
no evidence of a Joan Jet biography specifically titled I
Love rock and Roll. Oh okay, Well, if I can't
have I Love rock and Roll, well, I don't know.
I think I think I got it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I said that she didn't think about it because you
snatched it first. But since you are calling dibbs on
it first, it's yours.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Well. I keep waiting for Madonna to call herself the
Queen of the eighties. Maybe she doesn't want to be
identified with the eighties, but one of these days I'm
gonna snatch it, because nobody's stepping up to the plate
and calling themselves the queen of the eighties. I think
I could.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I feel like you could own that, because technically it
is true. She could say queen of pop. But I
don't think she's the queen of the eighties. I don't
see Madonna as being the Queen of the eighties. I
would give that one to you, Martha Queen, if you
want it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I feel like maybe I'm the princess of the eighties,
like maybe not the queen maybe or would be the
Queen of the eighties.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Cindy Lapper.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I say, Cindy Lapper. That's who comes to my mind,
and I think queen of the Eighties. I feel like
Cindy Lapper would be my first pick over anyone.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So what do you think of a documentary title for me?
Martha Quinn? Girls just want to have fun? Do you
think of you appropriate? I'm just going to find people's songs. So,
Karina of Alaska is what would a documentary about your
life be?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Minees would be Corina's Wild Vine, a tale wait, a
Mexican family tale of wine love. I wanted to add
my dog in there somewhere, but something around like along
those lines. A Mexican family tale of love, wine and friendship.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's a long tide.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I was just thinking, if you wanted to tweet about
this book, this documentary, you've used up all of your
characters just with the Tarna's Wild Vine.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
So karinas I gotta kind of I'll figure na wild Vine.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So you're trying to pick you're trying to include vine
in there, right, and you're trying to like combine Karna's
Wild Ride with Karna's Wild Vine. Is that what you're
trying to do, like mister Toad's Wild Ride?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, oh, mister Toad.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Dan I would say vita vino familia. I like that
Na vita vino familia because it's like wine, live family.
And then what's crazy in Spanish loca so vina vida
familia or loca the movie vino vida familiar. Yeah, there
(09:03):
is a there is a movie called that's very, very famous.
So you guys are all stealing ideas. I just don't understand.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And doesn't Ricky Martin have something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Living yeah, living the crazy line?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So I don't know, Ricky Martin's going to be calling you,
Joan Jet's gonna be calling me.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I'm good to go, yeah, and Christy's good to go.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, that's okay because everyone's stealing everything now, right, you know,
there's no there's no originals. Now everyone's doing remakes of
this and remakes of shows and remakes of movies, and
there's there's hardly.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Any like fresh ideas. So unless your name is Christy.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
James, holler at me if you need a fresh idea, Christy.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
In the documentary about your life, Go Go, Go Going,
what is one of the going going going going going going, going,
going going going go oh going going go. Okay, Okay,
got it going going go going going go? What it is? Okay?
What the scene is that scene where everybody's like, is
(10:04):
she gonna make it through?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Probably when I am going to boot camp, and my
first night of boot camp or the weekend I did
my aircheck and then turned it in to be on
the radio here in the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Okay, and what did that look like to give us
a little preview of what's going on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
For which one?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Uh, Well, since you seem to really settle into the aircheck,
you seem to really sell that one.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Mm hmm. That's the one, Okay. So I would just
be hard at work as an intern at iHeartRadio in
San Francisco, and then one weekend I decide I have
to sit down and really try and do the best
aircheck of my life. And I spent a Saturday here
working on it, and then Monday morning, I walked it
(10:54):
into the office and gave it to the assistant program
director with my fingers crossed and all the hopes and
the world and dreams hanging on that I would finally
get an opportunity to have the radio job of my dreams.
And that's it, and the rest is history.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And here you are in the same building.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
That crazy, That is so crazy, It is crazy. What
about you, Karina? What would be that moment in Veno
Vita familia parnas extravagance and super long movie title.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
What would be the moment? Well, we didn't incorporate my
probably my family. Probably my family. Would I incorporate my family?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I don't know what's the what's the scene in the documentary?
You know there's always this scene where you're like, are
they gonna make it through? You know, this is the
edge of your seat scene. I can think of one
for you, Karina.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, what comes to my mind is you on the
balcony throwing clothes off. Wait, what when you were going
through a breakup? Yeah, that's a good one. That's a
good documentary scene right there.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, like when, oh, I know, when I caught my
when I saw the marriage license. Well, I was dating
someone for a while and I find the marriage license
and done, done done.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
What happens next? That's a cliffhanger right there.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yep, that's that's that's that's good. That's good right there,
that's in the trailer.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He's the one with the clothes. So yes, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The next thing we.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Know, flying clothes, flying clothes.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Martha Quinn Quinn.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh gosh, what would it be? What would it be? Well,
I would let me think, let me think, is she
going to make it through?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It wouldn't be getting on the bus to go to
your MTV interview running from the radio station.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, I think that's a cool that would be like
does she make I mean, I guess, But.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I feel like other cliffhanger stuff has gone on in
my life, Like it could be I went into the
hospital and delivered a two and a half pound baby,
and what happened next? You know, that was that was
a cliffhanger moment. I've had so many. I feel like
(13:22):
my life after MTV, just life stuff happened. That was
that was. I don't know if i'd want my documentary
to be exclusively dealing with the MTV era, But you
called it I love rock abte but it's true I do,
and rock and roll is sort of a thread that
(13:45):
has seen me through, like to this day. My husband
and I this morning, we're at the bagel store. Michael
Jackson's Don't Stop till You Yet Enough was playing. My
husband Jordan says to me, is this just Michael or
our his brother is singing background vocals? I feel like
I hear his brothers and like the bagel guy, the
(14:05):
guy who owns the bagel store, was right there and
he's heavy into the eighties, And I say into my phone,
who's singing background vocals on Michael Jackson's Uh Don't stop
till You Get Enough? And I thought, this is so fascinating.
Everybody in the bagel store has got to be like
on the edge of their seat waiting to find out.
(14:26):
But it's just me and Jordan in our own little
world like we couldn't wait to find out. Turns out
it was mostly Michael, but his brothers were in fact
singing background vocals on don't stop Tea Get Enough? So
rock and roll gets me through every weekend. My husband
I've got music on gets us through?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
What whatd a documentary about us? Three? What would be
the title? Les Amigas that's.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It rockers, I don't know, no lost, no less traces,
Chace amigas, the off for one, one for all. It
is No, we don't need to say the three amigas.
Everybody knows less Chase a megas. Okay, anyway, thank you

Talk Talk with Martha Quinn. Hey, that would be a
(15:09):
good name for a documentary. How about that? And we'll
