Speaker 2 (00:06):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I could see it in your eyes. I could see
it in your eyes. Kreeam of Alaskas. Something was coming.
That's how I just kept my mouth shut because I
could see it. Someone's bubbling up. That sounds like it's
the beginning of a Halloween podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Actually, that's actually kind of sounds a little bit like
a ghost.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
No, it's not a ghost. Welcome, it's not a ghost.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn, the podcast that unites
the Morning Drive with Christy Live team Kreem of Alaskas,
who we already heard from and Christy.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Hey, how's everyone doing. Thanks for coming out tonight. It's
gonna be a great show.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
And the Martha Quinn Show team Martha Quinn and Kaarina
of Alaskaz. Yeah, Karina, what number podcast is this?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is episode number two and forty two, and we're
gonna call it Bad Falls.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Ah, Yes, okay, we're gonna call this podcast Bad Falls.
I believe inspired by something that happened to Karina of
Alaska's this week and honestly everybody on planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Who was it?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Who was the rock star?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well, Billy Joel just fell recently, and somebody else, and
Tyler has done it a million times.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
What's up Yance? She recently did she? Yeah, she tripped
and then was it a trip? No, it was one
of her robots in her concert malfunctioned. But she has
had a famous fall, and it was quite the fall.
She was coming down a flight of steps in the
middle of her stage and she tumbled at the top
(01:53):
all the way down.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I think I remember.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
It was definitely like oh, and she popped back up
and she kept on. But that was a crazy fall
where you're like, because you know, sometimes, yeah, fall it's
funny most.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Of the time, right, most of the time.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
If it's a really bad fall, you can't even laugh.
And it was one of those where you're not even laughing,
you're just like, oh, is she okay?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It was one of those, Yes.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You're worried, you don't know what you just saw.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Carina's, on the other hand, very funny, Martha, very funny.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I don't think I neared this story with you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So I went, uh, not too long ago a weekend
to help Christy dj A wedding. I was her assistant
for the day, which was awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But we go to.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Finally get our food and it's a little bit quiet way.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's the buffet, and I was so excited to come
back with my plate. I had my plate full of
the food and I just couldn't wait to eat because
I was hungry.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And I go to my chair.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And the first thing I said was I should move
my chair. Nah, I should didn't move my chair. Now,
let me move my chair.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I moved my chair. I go to sit down. Christy's
behind me. I go to sit down.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
All of a sudden, the leg peg of the back
of the chair started going in because the soil was
so dry.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That the chair is sinking.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And here I go, whoa. But literally it was the
world's slowest fall in the history of everness.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And then I'm like, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Christy, that's the beginning of the show.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, that's what it was, Okay, got it?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So what told you?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
First of all?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Okay, what was on your plate?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It was salad, a vegetarian pasta, a vegetarian lasagna that
I was so excited to eat because lasagna normally has meat.
I don't really eat meat but chicken, oh and fikashia bread.
But as I'm falling, I'm trying to hold onto my
plate as steady as I possibly can so that it
(04:06):
doesn't fall. But heck, no, I did pretty good. My
ficacia bread went flying. But then here comes my friend
Christy to try to save me.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
All I could hear was ho ho and I love.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And Karina's just sinking over til to no where, likes
the leaning tower Pisa. And I look at her, and
I'm like, do I save my friend? Do I save
her plate?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Because she's holding onto her plate with one hand and
then she's holding onto the chair with the other, just
kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Teetering on one leg.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And then there's people in the wedding party watching all
of this go down because we're right next to them,
and they're looking like, oh, and I had my plate
of food in my hand and there's a table in
front of me, but I had all of my things
on the table, so I couldn't necessarily put my plate
down and grab her plate or grond her all quickly
(05:01):
because I only had one hand. So I reached over
quickly and grabbed her plate, and then she tumbled into
the bushes and then part of her plate fell, and
then I looked at my plate. I was like, where's
my chicken, where's my vagatca And I looked on the
ground and it looks like my plate was also a
casualty of the fall part of it, and I was like,
(05:22):
that's sang but it was really funny.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, I just said I agree with grabbing the plate because,
like you said, you had vegetarian lasagna. If that were
to fall on your outfit, that'd be a big mess.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No, Oh, it didn't matter because at this point when
I fell over, I just said, well, I'm falling, I'm
gonna fall.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
And I landed in the uh like flowers.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And dirts my and I was wearing all I'm wearing
all black, so the entire right side was all covered
in dirt, and Christie's like corina. I'm like, well, there
goes your there goes your Caesar salad. Christie's plate suffered
the worst though, because like all her plate was practically gone.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Trying to save me. But and then I'm just glad
it wasn't in front of the entire.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wedding party, just those those tables that were like closer
to us, but yeah, all I could do was laugh.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It was funny.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It was hurting, and I was hurting because I fell.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It fell straight, like to the right side, hard, but
it was funny because it was so slow you were
trying to save my plate.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It was just funny.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It was hilarious when.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
You said the people were watching you and they kind
of went was it a Beyonce? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Funny. No, it was like a oh crap, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Because it was so emotion So everyone's kind of like watching,
you know, your dog just like watches and tilts his
head to the side, like yeah, yeah, what's going on.
It was kind of one of those like is she
kinda self correct?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Or is she gonna fuck?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Because I was like whoa co and then tilting and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Like Christie said, I was trying to figure out if
I can jump off the chair in time so that
I don't fall. But that was not happening. That was
not happening. Now I just set up. I'm just going
to give into it, but it happens.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's reminding me of that song by Pretty Poison Catch Me,
I'm falling.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh yeah, too late? She fell.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I know, Christy, have you ever fallen? Do you remember falling?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Everyone has fallen, Like Martha Quinn said earlier, it has
happened to everyone on Earth. And it's interesting because I
think I might be the bad luck charm because I
didn't fall recently. But a week before Karina fell, I
was with my friend Justin and we were doing an
event for the season ticket holders at the Valkyries and
(07:41):
he was hosting and I was djaying and I looked
over and Justin is like this big, tall he looks
like he could be a football player. He's built like
a football player and tall like a basketball player. And
so he's bouncing around hosting the event, having a great time.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then I turn around.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And he's just standing there and he's looking so like dejected,
and I'm like, what happened?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He's like, why did I just fall down the steps?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
And I was like, no way. And part of me
was like no way. That sucks, but mostly I was like,
no way. I missed it, and I felt bad. I
felt bad, but I was like, you know, it's nice
to kind of catch a good fall every now. And
then you're just like and so he's like, yeah, he said,
(08:27):
I was hosting and I was going up and up
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Excuse me, he made it up the steps.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
He's going down, but he wasn't paying attention because he's
trying to hype the crowd, and he missed a step.
And these are concrete steps out in front of the
Chase Center, which is the big like arena where the
warriors and valkyries play, and he just do and I
was like, no way, you fell. He was just standing
in there and he's like, look at my knees. And
(08:54):
I looked at his knees and all his shins and
knees were scraped up and one of them was bleeding.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And I was like, oh, oh you Hella fell And.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Then I felt bad because then I started laughing, because
even if you don't see it, it's still like.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh my god, for real, you just fell like that.
How hard did you have to fall down steps?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
To scrape your knees up that badly. He ended up
going to their medical facility. But I was thinking, maybe
I'm the bad luck charm because I didn an event
with Justin he fell, and then I did an event
with Carina and then she fell.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Just be careful.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It probably surprised you with Justin too, because the way
you describe him, he's very athletic, so you might have
been surprised.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Like really, you, yes, it was really.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
It was funny though after the fact, and then each
time I saw him after that, I just kept looking
at his shins all taped up, and I was just like, dude,
I can't believe it. He's like I can't believe it either,
because you're just kind of in disbelief, so you have
to keep talking about it. Maybe it makes you feel
a little bit better because it is embarrassing. It is
(10:04):
so embarrassing, but often very funny if no one gets hurt.
I don't know why. When is the last time you fell,
Martha Quinn?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, the last time I fell, because it does happen
to me semi frequently. But I'm because that person. If
somebody's gonna fall somewhere, it's gonna be me. But I was, uh,
you know, the bagel store down the street from my
house has whole week bagel Day, and so my husband Jordan,
and I get there at seven o'clock in the morning
that's when the door's opened because we want to get
(10:33):
those whole week bagels because they usually only make I
don't know why, like three and we want to be
the ones to nab them. So we were there early
and we always we get coffee, and I got my
whole week bagels, and I was so excited because my
friend Karina gave us a gift card for the bagel store,
so I was like, yes, my gift card. And then
(10:55):
I had some coffee, which kind of made me like,
so got the holy bagels and I've got my coffee
and I'm walking out and right outside the store is
like a cement porch and it's like three inches up
off of the driveway. So coming towards me is a
(11:18):
couple with a cute little poodle. So I'm like, I've
got my coffee and I'm chit chatting about a Holy
Bagel day and I'm looking and I go, oh, who
is this adorable dog? And I just completely forgot about
the fact that there is a step. So it was
almost like I was walking and all of a sudden
I went like like I just got like somebody was
(11:41):
underneath me with a string and they just pulled me down.
I didn't totally fall, but I did like the total
most awkward last step, like did it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And I was like, oh, I was, and I tried
to cover for it because that's what I go, Oh,
I was paying Your dog is so cute, you know.
I didn't notice that step, but luckily, probably if I
had fell a fell, then i'd have been way more embarrassed.
But at least I did manage to stay on my feet.
But I found what you said about justin very interesting.
(12:18):
You didn't see him fall, but he came up and
told you.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I was looking at his face and he had that
Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed because it's type of face.
And I'm like, what happened? And like, why are you
just standing here now that you were just you know,
And he's like, why just wall And I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Was like no, And you're lad because clearly.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You're okay now because you're talking about it. You know,
no one's scraping you up off the ground. So I'm
like no, because then.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're mad because you really wanted to see it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Maybe it's just me, but you know, just because I'm
saying this, God, don't like ugly, I'm probably gonna have
a really embarrassing fall in the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because you're not.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
You're not because we're talking about it. You're not, You're
not You're not gonna fall, but you are absolutely not.
But that makes me feel better because I one time
had a very public fall, which is the very first
MTV Video Music Awards. They told me to go out
on stage at Radio City Musical. Everybody in the music
(13:22):
industry was there, the guys from Kiss, every music industry
executive Paul Schaeffer, sitting in the front row was David
Lee Roth. And it was my job to go out
and say, hey, welcome, you know, we're going to have
a great night, blah blah blah. So the way we
set it up was I was going to say and
now let the show begin and throw out my hand
(13:43):
and then the proscenium the front of the stage would
sink down into the orchestra pit and then the show
behind on the remaining stage would start. So I go,
let the show begin.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Hand up.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Nothing happens. So I'm just standing there like the statue
of Liberty, going okay, now what do I do? So
I thought, all right, I'll just walk off. I'll just go,
you know, backstage. While I was walking, the proscenium started
to go right as I was starting to sink down
right as I was about to cross over.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
To the main stage.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So then it's kind of like what Karina was saying,
You're debating what do I do. Do I scuttle backwards
and stay on the proscenium that's sinking, but by now
I'm like on the edge. I was afraid I was
going to fall into the orchestra pit if I did that.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Or do I.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Try to leap onto the stage, which you know is
getting The height of that leap is getting higher and
higher every second, so because the stage is dropping, so
I decide, Okay, I'm going to go for it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm going to leap onto the stage.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
But I partially because A I'm clumsy and b because
the stage is dropping so you can't correctly.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Assess the distance.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
So I jump, I fall, and I feel like in
my memory that I could hear one of those audible gasps.
But I get backstage, and then of course I did
what Justin did, which was like, I'm sure not everybody
saw me, and probably by then nobody was thinking about it.
But of course I had to go up to everyone
(15:21):
that I ran into.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Did you say me, I've all, oh my god, I
just felt I'm sound embarrassed. Oh my god, I'm soun embarrassed.
I felt.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
So if you didn't see me, you heard about it
because I was the one broadcasting it.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
So a few minutes later I.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
See David Lee Ross and of course I say, oh
my god, did you see me fall? And he said,
and this is long before the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame actually existed. He said, ah, darling, welcome to
the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You know how
many times I've done that? And you know, as we
started the podcast talking about Billy, Joel and Steven and Beyonce,
(16:01):
so many people have indeed done it. I'm Karina Velasquez.
I will add you to that list of rock stars
who have fallen. So yeah, so it is embarrassing, but
everybody's done it, and yes, there is something about it
that is it is funny.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And the point is when you fall, dust yourself off
and get up again and expect your friends to laugh
at you exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And then there's.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Always that move when you're on the street and you
trip and fall.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh yeah, you have to look you turn back and
look like that's going on.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And then you completely even though you could be bleeding,
like blood spurting out of your leg and you will
walk on like, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Fine, I'm fine, it's fine, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Fine because you're you're adrenaline is so kicked up and
your instinct right away is to go.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Fine, I'm fine, it's fine. No, no, no, I'm fine,
I'm fine. I'm seriously, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
People are calling the ambulance and you're going, no, no,
I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Well that was fun. It was hearing about everyone's mishaps.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, Christy, I do want to say, you know, we
are kind of anxiously waiting. I'm not gonna want friend
to happen to you because you know now you need
to be part of the club.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh, I've been part of the club.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I think she's once. I feel like I saw her
fall once, but oh more than once. I'm definitely part
of the club. I am a card carrying gold member.
But you know, okay, good the most recent had did
not happen to me, but happened to two good friends.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it's probably coming. We'll see maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Justin Welcome to the club. We're really glad to have
you because it's a fun club.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
We're a good group. You really are, so don't worry
about it all.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Right then, Thank you ladies, thank you guys so much
for listening to talk talk with Martha Quinn.

funny most.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Of the time, right, most of the time.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
If it's a really bad fall, you can't even laugh.
And it was one of those where you're not even laughing,
you're just like, oh, is she okay?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It was one of those, Yes.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You're worried, you don't know what you just saw.
Speaker 5 (02:24):

And I go to my chair.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And the first thing I said was I should move

let me move my chair.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I moved my chair. I go to sit down. Christy's
behind me. I go to sit down.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
All of a sudden, the leg peg of the back
of the chair started going in because the soil was
so dry.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That the chair is sinking.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And here I go, whoa. But literally it was the
world's slowest fall in the history of everness.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And then I'm like, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Christy, that's the beginning of the show.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, that's what it was, Okay, got it?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So what told you?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
First of all?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Okay, what was on your plate?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It was salad, a vegetarian pasta, a vegetarian lasagna that
I was so excited to eat because lasagna normally has meat.
I don't really eat meat but chicken, oh and fikashia bread.
But as I'm falling, I'm trying to hold onto my
plate as steady as I possibly can so that it
(04:06):
doesn't fall. But heck, no, I did pretty good. My
ficacia bread went flying. But then here comes my friend
Christy to try to save me.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
All I could hear was ho ho and I love.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And Karina's just sinking over til to no where, likes
the leaning tower Pisa. And I look at her, and
I'm like, do I save my friend? Do I save
her plate?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Because she's holding onto her plate with one hand and
then she's holding onto the chair with the other, just
kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Teetering on one leg.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And then there's people in the wedding party watching all
of this go down because we're right next to them,
and they're looking like, oh, and I had my plate
of food in my hand and there's a table in
front of me, but I had all of my things
on the table, so I couldn't necessarily put my plate
down and grab her plate or grond her all quickly
(05:01):
because I only had one hand. So I reached over
quickly and grabbed her plate, and then she tumbled into
the bushes and then part of her plate fell, and
then I looked at my plate. I was like, where's
my chicken, where's my vagatca And I looked on the
ground and it looks like my plate was also a
casualty of the fall part of it, and I was like,
(05:22):
that's sang but it was really funny.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, I just said I agree with grabbing the plate because,
like you said, you had vegetarian lasagna. If that were
to fall on your outfit, that'd be a big mess.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No, Oh, it didn't matter because at this point when
I fell over, I just said, well, I'm falling, I'm
gonna fall.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
And I landed in the uh like flowers.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And dirts my and I was wearing all I'm wearing
all black, so the entire right side was all covered
in dirt, and Christie's like corina. I'm like, well, there
goes your there goes your Caesar salad. Christie's plate suffered
the worst though, because like all her plate was practically gone.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Trying to save me. But and then I'm just glad
it wasn't in front of the entire.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wedding party, just those those tables that were like closer
to us, but yeah, all I could do was laugh.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It was funny.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It was hurting, and I was hurting because I fell.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It fell straight, like to the right side, hard, but
it was funny because it was so slow you were
trying to save my plate.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It was just funny.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It was hilarious when.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
You said the people were watching you and they kind
of went was it a Beyonce? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Funny. No, it was like a oh crap, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Because it was so emotion So everyone's kind of like watching,
you know, your dog just like watches and tilts his
head to the side, like yeah, yeah, what's going on.
It was kind of one of those like is she
kinda self correct?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Or is she gonna fuck?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Because I was like whoa co and then tilting and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Like Christie said, I was trying to figure out if
I can jump off the chair in time so that
I don't fall. But that was not happening. That was
not happening. Now I just set up. I'm just going
to give into it, but it happens.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's reminding me of that song by Pretty Poison Catch Me,
I'm falling.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh yeah, too late? She fell.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I know, Christy, have you ever fallen? Do you remember falling?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Everyone has fallen, Like Martha Quinn said earlier, it has
happened to everyone on Earth. And it's interesting because I
think I might be the bad luck charm because I
didn't fall recently. But a week before Karina fell, I
was with my friend Justin and we were doing an
event for the season ticket holders at the Valkyries and
(07:41):
he was hosting and I was djaying and I looked
over and Justin is like this big, tall he looks
like he could be a football player. He's built like
a football player and tall like a basketball player. And
so he's bouncing around hosting the event, having a great time.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then I turn around.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And he's just standing there and he's looking so like dejected,
and I'm like, what happened?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He's like, why did I just fall down the steps?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
And I was like, no way. And part of me
was like no way. That sucks, but mostly I was like,
no way. I missed it, and I felt bad. I
felt bad, but I was like, you know, it's nice
to kind of catch a good fall every now. And
then you're just like and so he's like, yeah, he said,
(08:27):
I was hosting and I was going up and up
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Excuse me, he made it up the steps.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
He's going down, but he wasn't paying attention because he's
trying to hype the crowd, and he missed a step.
And these are concrete steps out in front of the
Chase Center, which is the big like arena where the
warriors and valkyries play, and he just do and I
was like, no way, you fell. He was just standing
in there and he's like, look at my knees. And
(08:54):
I looked at his knees and all his shins and
knees were scraped up and one of them was bleeding.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And I was like, oh, oh you Hella fell And.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Then I felt bad because then I started laughing, because
even if you don't see it, it's still like.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Oh my god, for real, you just fell like that.
How hard did you have to fall down steps?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
To scrape your knees up that badly. He ended up
going to their medical facility. But I was thinking, maybe
I'm the bad luck charm because I didn an event
with Justin he fell, and then I did an event
with Carina and then she fell.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Just be careful.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It probably surprised you with Justin too, because the way
you describe him, he's very athletic, so you might have
been surprised.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Like really, you, yes, it was really.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
It was funny though after the fact, and then each
time I saw him after that, I just kept looking
at his shins all taped up, and I was just like, dude,
I can't believe it. He's like I can't believe it either,
because you're just kind of in disbelief, so you have
to keep talking about it. Maybe it makes you feel
a little bit better because it is embarrassing. It is
(10:04):
so embarrassing, but often very funny if no one gets hurt.
I don't know why. When is the last time you fell,
Martha Quinn?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, the last time I fell, because it does happen
to me semi frequently. But I'm because that person. If
somebody's gonna fall somewhere, it's gonna be me. But I was, uh,
you know, the bagel store down the street from my
house has whole week bagel Day, and so my husband Jordan,
and I get there at seven o'clock in the morning
that's when the door's opened because we want to get
(10:33):
those whole week bagels because they usually only make I
don't know why, like three and we want to be
the ones to nab them. So we were there early
and we always we get coffee, and I got my
whole week bagels, and I was so excited because my
friend Karina gave us a gift card for the bagel store,
so I was like, yes, my gift card. And then
(10:55):
I had some coffee, which kind of made me like,
so got the holy bagels and I've got my coffee
and I'm walking out and right outside the store is
like a cement porch and it's like three inches up
off of the driveway. So coming towards me is a
(11:18):
couple with a cute little poodle. So I'm like, I've
got my coffee and I'm chit chatting about a Holy
Bagel day and I'm looking and I go, oh, who
is this adorable dog? And I just completely forgot about
the fact that there is a step. So it was
almost like I was walking and all of a sudden
I went like like I just got like somebody was
(11:41):
underneath me with a string and they just pulled me down.
I didn't totally fall, but I did like the total
most awkward last step, like did it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And I was like, oh, I was, and I tried
to cover for it because that's what I go, Oh,
I was paying Your dog is so cute, you know.
I didn't notice that step, but luckily, probably if I
had fell a fell, then i'd have been way more embarrassed.
But at least I did manage to stay on my feet.
But I found what you said about justin very interesting.
(12:18):
You didn't see him fall, but he came up and
told you.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I was looking at his face and he had that
Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed because it's type of face.
And I'm like, what happened? And like, why are you
just standing here now that you were just you know,
And he's like, why just wall And I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Was like no, And you're lad because clearly.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You're okay now because you're talking about it. You know,
no one's scraping you up off the ground. So I'm
like no, because then.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're mad because you really wanted to see it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Maybe it's just me, but you know, just because I'm
saying this, God, don't like ugly, I'm probably gonna have
a really embarrassing fall in the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because you're not.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
You're not because we're talking about it. You're not, You're
not You're not gonna fall, but you are absolutely not.
But that makes me feel better because I one time
had a very public fall, which is the very first
MTV Video Music Awards. They told me to go out
on stage at Radio City Musical. Everybody in the music
(13:22):
industry was there, the guys from Kiss, every music industry
executive Paul Schaeffer, sitting in the front row was David
Lee Roth. And it was my job to go out
and say, hey, welcome, you know, we're going to have
a great night, blah blah blah. So the way we
set it up was I was going to say and
now let the show begin and throw out my hand
(13:43):
and then the proscenium the front of the stage would
sink down into the orchestra pit and then the show
behind on the remaining stage would start. So I go,
let the show begin.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Hand up.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Nothing happens. So I'm just standing there like the statue
of Liberty, going okay, now what do I do? So
I thought, all right, I'll just walk off. I'll just go,
you know, backstage. While I was walking, the proscenium started
to go right as I was starting to sink down
right as I was about to cross over.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
To the main stage.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So then it's kind of like what Karina was saying,
You're debating what do I do. Do I scuttle backwards
and stay on the proscenium that's sinking, but by now
I'm like on the edge. I was afraid I was
going to fall into the orchestra pit if I did that.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Or do I.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Try to leap onto the stage, which you know is
getting The height of that leap is getting higher and
higher every second, so because the stage is dropping, so
I decide, Okay, I'm going to go for it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm going to leap onto the stage.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
But I partially because A I'm clumsy and b because
the stage is dropping so you can't correctly.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Assess the distance.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
So I jump, I fall, and I feel like in
my memory that I could hear one of those audible gasps.
But I get backstage, and then of course I did
what Justin did, which was like, I'm sure not everybody
saw me, and probably by then nobody was thinking about it.
But of course I had to go up to everyone
(15:21):
that I ran into.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Did you say me, I've all, oh my god, I
just felt I'm sound embarrassed. Oh my god, I'm soun embarrassed.
I felt.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
So if you didn't see me, you heard about it
because I was the one broadcasting it.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
So a few minutes later I.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
See David Lee Ross and of course I say, oh
my god, did you see me fall? And he said,
and this is long before the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame actually existed. He said, ah, darling, welcome to
the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You know how
many times I've done that? And you know, as we
started the podcast talking about Billy, Joel and Steven and Beyonce,
(16:01):
so many people have indeed done it. I'm Karina Velasquez.
I will add you to that list of rock stars
who have fallen. So yeah, so it is embarrassing, but
everybody's done it, and yes, there is something about it
that is it is funny.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And the point is when you fall, dust yourself off
and get up again and expect your friends to laugh
at you exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And then there's.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Always that move when you're on the street and you
trip and fall.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh yeah, you have to look you turn back and
look like that's going on.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And then you completely even though you could be bleeding,
like blood spurting out of your leg and you will
walk on like, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Fine, I'm fine, it's fine, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Fine because you're you're adrenaline is so kicked up and
your instinct right away is to go.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Fine, I'm fine, it's fine. No, no, no, I'm fine,
I'm fine. I'm seriously, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
People are calling the ambulance and you're going, no, no,
I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Well that was fun. It was hearing about everyone's mishaps.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, Christy, I do want to say, you know, we
are kind of anxiously waiting. I'm not gonna want friend
to happen to you because you know now you need
to be part of the club.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh, I've been part of the club.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I think she's once. I feel like I saw her
fall once, but oh more than once. I'm definitely part
of the club. I am a card carrying gold member.
But you know, okay, good the most recent had did
not happen to me, but happened to two good friends.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it's probably coming. We'll see maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Justin Welcome to the club. We're really glad to have
you because it's a fun club.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
We're a good group. You really are, so don't worry
about it all.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Right then, Thank you ladies, thank you guys so much
for listening to talk talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
And until next week. I'm Martha Quinn, I'm Christy, I'm
Karrin of Velaskaz. Miss you ready,
