Speaker 1 (00:00):
When the on air Mike goes off, the talk Talk begins.
It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yes it is, and it's a celebration.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Is it a celebration?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Celebrate, celebrate good times. Let me get out some candles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh oh wait, hold on.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Martina, you just need twenty one.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I got the cake. Oh yeah, only twenty one one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't need any of those big, chunky no candles
that you know, just down to the numbers because you
can't hit all the candle up song.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We don't need that. So we don't need that.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Actually, you know what, I wouldn't want to be twenty one.
I would be thirty five.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh that's a good question. What age would you go
back to?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
First of all, let me just say welcome to Talk
Talk with Martha Quinn. This is the podcast that unites
the Morning Drive with Christy Live crew, which is Christy
and Karina of alaskaz and the marth Quinn Show crew,
which is Mark Quinn and Karina of Alaskazu.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So we always like to.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Invite you when we're hanging out and chit chatting. And
this week we are talking about the most sparkly Virgo
having a birthday Christie.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Thank you. As we have determined.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Christy is twenty one, I totally get it. You know
what's funny about MTV is it started I don't know
one hundred years ago, but I was, you know, an
embryo at that time. Let's just say so, Christy, you
brought up an interesting point. What age would you like
to in your case, fast forward to, since you're only
(01:36):
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I would fast forward to probably thirty three?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, tell me why?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What was going on then?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I don't remember, but I feel like it's past my twenties.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I was out of the military.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I feel like I was kind of established with you know,
radio and doing something that I loved on a day
to day basis. I'm trying to think though, you know,
the early thirties were kind of rocky, you know, because
let me see, I'm trying to think of like who
I was working with at the time.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, but Christie, I.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Think thirty, like in your thirties, that's a pretty good
fun age.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It's a good fun age.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You're still like, you know, going out, You're not like
the older person in the club.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You're not forty yet.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You're not forty yet, but you're not in your twenties,
so you've kind of pushed past all of that. You
can rent a car, you can drink, you have enough
money if you want to go travel hopefully. So I
would say thirty three is a good age. And I'm
just thinking ballpark, not because if there was anything specific
going on in my life that I can remember.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Krina and I were wondering, what is your most memorable birthday?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Would you say? Seventeen?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Really?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I was gonna say, give us your top three because
you've done it now you celebrate your birthday big time, which
I love, christ I do.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know how it could be any better than
last year when you ladies went and was it Bali?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Was it fee Gee? Where were you when you know?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You're in the water and Karina, I still have on
my phone the picture of you in that round like
hula hoop covered in flowers and you're swinging and this
sky was like out of a Broadway play.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It was so incredible. So yeah, what are ye?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But seventeen, let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Seventeen.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I had a birthday party and my mom was really strict.
But one of her friends, Miss Janet rest in Peace,
her friend from church. I was like, please convince my
mom to have a birthday party. I just want a
birthday party. That's all I want for my seventeenth birthday.
I just want a birthday party.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Can I stop you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right there for a second.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Had you not had a birthday party prior?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Not like that?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
No? No, not like a party, my friend, big.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Party because your mom wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
No, just because I never really thought about it. You know,
there was never like a big sweet sixteen. You know,
we usually celebrate our birthday, will go someplace to dinner.
We might go yeah, we might go out to dinner,
get like a gift. I always ask for money, that
never changes.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And basically that's it. Actually, this year, though, I asked
for something different.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You asked your mom, let's let's put it, let's put
a pen and that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I asked my mom for birthday party seventeen, and Miss
Brooks convinced her to say yes, okay, huh.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So we were like, yes, we're finally gonna have a party.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
We as in my older brother MESI, and we went
all in on the party.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I want to ask too, like because at that age,
you're like, I want this, I want what pizza or
I want this.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you remember, like what you really wanted?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I said I would pay for everything so she would
not have to pay for anything. You did, yes, a, yeah,
it was working already. Well yeah, and that was one
of my you know, selling points, like, hey, you don't
have to spend any money. We just want to have
this party. I'll pay for everything. So I think I
got Pizza's from Costco, I got a DJ. I forgot
who DJ'ed the part party, and scrill X right, I
(05:05):
know him, you know. And then we got to telling
people about the party on my seventeenth birthday, and we
told people, and then we told more people, and then
we told more people, and then we posted flyers at bart.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh my gosh, flyers, not flyers.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
At Bark, which is say like the Metro if you're
in New York or you know, DC, or the train station.
We posted literal flyers for my seventeenth birthday party.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Were you worried that people weren't going to come? What
was your thought on that?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yes, I was worried that nobody would come. So I
was like, we have to let people know so that
way people will come to my party.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Okay, so let me just stop here let me just
stop here, Let me stop here and just zig while
we're zagging for a moment. What was the job you
had that you could pay for all this and DJ
and the pizza.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I worked at a movie theater. I was just working
at a movie theater, like a cashier at a movie theater.
Super Saviors Cinema on Freemont.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Okay, So back to the flyers.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So we were posting flyers, giving them out to people.
We went to other schools, handed out flyers.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh my god, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And it was at my house. So my house isn't
like that big. It was like a three bedroom regular house,
you know, one story house in Fremont. The night of
the party comes and I'm like, okay, cool, this is great.
And people started trickling in and it was fun. It
was like, okay, what's up, come on in, Like my friends.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
From school showed up.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And then it was getting later and later and more
and more people started showing up. I left and there
was maybe about twenty or so people.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Christy, did anybody bring alcohol? By chance?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I don't remember people bringing alcohol?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, you sometimes that's what happens out of like the
nineteen house party.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I wasn't that type of party.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
My mom was there, and Miss Brooks was there, and
the DJ's in the back on the deck, and then
kids are showing up, and so I'm like, okay, let
me run to Bart down the street so I can
pick up a friend of mine who had just gotten
to Bart. So I was like, let me go scoop
Jammay and then come back. How did you know that
he had arrived because he paid me?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Oh, you had a beeper?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yes, okay, kid, I'm just kidding. I'm go ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So I basically went with my friend Janine to go
pick him up and I left. There's maybe, like I said,
like twenty to thirty kids. When I came back from
picking him up, it was like a scene out of
a movie. This party would have gone viral in twenty
twenty five. There were cars all down my block and
(07:53):
kids all down my block and like all around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then I.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Went inside the house and I was like, oh my god,
look at this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This is so lit.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
But I don't know what we said back in the day,
maybe dope, I don't know. Fresh And I go inside
my house and I'm like super excited. The parties cracking,
and all of a sudden, my mom's friend, Miss Brooks, said,
can we speak to you? And we went into the
living room and my mom was sitting there and she
was like, CHRISTI.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Was the living room empty, Like how did you have
a quiet space to.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You're kind of off in the living room because people
are coming to the house but going to the backyard,
you know, so they are the backyard. They're in the backyard,
so we're kind of in the living room. People are
getting food and stuff like that, but that's in the kitchen,
so there's living room is off to the side.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Christy, I said, you could have a party. What is this?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You need to narrow it down to seven people? There
are like hundreds of people from all over And she
was like, you need to narrow this down to seven
people is dangerous. I don't know all these people. What
if the deck falls in? Like this is crazy. Meanwhile,
I'm like, how do you expect me to narrow this
(09:09):
down to like seven people? Are you insane? Even just
my friend? There's more than seven people. Yeah, And Miss
Brooks was like, this isn't what I told your mom,
you know, this isn't what you know kind of we
agreed to. And so as we're having this discussion, all
of a sudden, all you heard was po po. Someone
yelled police because now there's like hundreds of kids on
(09:33):
this street in Fremont. There's a DJ party going on,
and people are like, what is going on? I told you,
like a scene out of a movie. I wish to
god there was a video of this night. That's because
it was so insane. And then police had come because
it's Fremont, it's like suburbia, so police are here now,
and someone yelled police. No one's doing anything wrong, but
(09:54):
someone yelled police. So everyone starts running freaking out. So
everyone's running. Now there's hundreds of kids running all over
the neighborhood. Man from my backyard, they bust through the
fence to my neighbor's yard, knock the fence over because
they ran through the fence to like get out. But
I don't know, like why is everyone running? But you know,
(10:16):
when one person starts running, everyone starts running. So everyone's
like running cleared out the house.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh your mom, Christy, and she's.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Like in the living room, like freaking out, silently freaking out.
And then the police came and they're like, Okay, you
need to shut it down.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And the DJ was like, so, what's up.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Do you want me to like keep playing And I'm
like no, we got to kind of like, you know,
shut it down. And so people just kind of hung
out for the rest of the night on my block.
And I lived right across the street from a park,
so a lot of people kind of went to the park.
And then my next door neighbor, Jason, his mom happened
to be out of town, so he was like, you
(10:56):
can move the party to my house, Like, just tell
the DJ to like set up in my backyard. I
mean the fence is down now because like it got
knocked down. So how old was Jason Jason's probably he
was probably sixteen sixteen.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You you was probably giving your mom like h that
that day.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And then it got yeah, it got cleared out. Finally
everyone kind of went home. I didn't get like grounded
or in trouble or anything. My mom was a little
silent for the next couple of days. But that was
my seventeenth birthday party. I'll never forget it. And I
ran into someone earlier when was it earlier this year?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Late last year?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
In New Orleans and he had gone to school with us,
and I just ran into him randomly. My brother's like, hey,
you remember blah blah blah, and he was like, man,
I still remember your birthday party?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh man, God.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Said I wish I had video. He's like me too,
that was crazy. He was like, your party was crazy.
I was like, I know, we posted flyers at part.
It was crazy. I don't know what we're thinking now.
I don't know what we're thinking. Yeah, you are thinking, yep,
that was it seventeen So what.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Happened to the fence? Did you have to pay for that? No?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
So when we got back, like we tried to like
lift it up. So the next day we're trying to
like lift up the fence and kind of you know,
stick it back in the ground. And it never was
quite right after that party, Like, it never was quite right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
They never got it really really repaired. It's was just
kind of like.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Leaning, you know, don't lean on the fence. Yeah, basically
one of those yep.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
But do you think Jason's parents came home and they
were like, no, I don't. I don't think our friend
was our fence.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Who is like that?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I mean, if they did, we didn't get in trouble. So, yeah,
it was a crazy party. I just wish to god
there was video. But I could call I could call
one of my best friends right now, Janine, and she'll
tell you. I'll be like, girl, you remember my seventeenth birthday.
She'll be like, dog party.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah. I feel like too.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That was maybe back in the day when we weren't
so stranger danger, because you could post things on bart,
you know, and just like randomly like now, I don't
think you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Would ever do that now.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Way, no way, No, you want somebody to come ransack
your house or something.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, we shouldn't have done it back then either, but
you know, hey, we really wanted a party.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We really really wanted a party.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And while we're at it, can we revisit then, Christy,
what it is that you asked for this year?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This year?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I asked for cash, And then I was like, you
know what people always ask, like, what can I get you?
My mom and my brother and I wanted a rain
jacket and I want a different this Patagonia rain jacket.
And it was a pretty expensive jacket, and I'm like,
that's a lot of money for a jacket. But supposedly
it's like the best of the best rain coat, and
(13:54):
it's packable so you can like roll it up into
a tiny little ball and like stuff it in itself,
so if you're ever or like in the rain or whatever.
And I travel a lot and sometimes there's rain without
having to bring a big parka and I said, you
know what, I'm gonna splurge and buy this jacket. And
so I went, and I really wanted the black one.
And then I was like, oh, but the green one
is on sale, and you know I like a deal.
(14:15):
So I got the green one, and I'm like, you know,
the black one would really go with like everything.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I should have just got the black And.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Then I said, you know what, my brother asked me
what I wanted, So I'm going to be like, you
know what, this is what I want, and I'm going
to have him get me the black one and then
take the green one back. So mostly when I want something,
I get at myself. Whenever people ask what do you want,
I'm like nothing, I don't want anything.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I will say that you and your brother are very
and your mom too, very generous with one another when
it comes to gifts. They'd be like, oh, I want
a jet, a fuel jet, you know too.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
For a day, Like that's very generous. Well that's great.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, so a rain jacket a rain jacket, Yeah, that's
what I want.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
So I'm gonna go back.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I might go get it today, like I'll go buy
it and then he can just give me the money.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That is very funny because just today I was googling
rain jackets because my daughter and her husband are finally
coming back to the States and it's getting to be,
you know, colder, and I thought, these guys, I want
to get them nice rain jackets because I got myself
(15:24):
a really nice rain jacket this year, so I thought
I would get them really nice rain jackets. So now
I'm going to look up that Patagonia rain jacket.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, and Arii has one too. Patagonia has a three
L and then Arii has one as well.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But they're both this like they're super thin.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
They're really really thin, so they're kind of like I
guess shells, and they're men like a shell. Yeah, they're
meant for layering, but they're like super you know, I
guess waterproof. They're not water resistant, they're waterproof, they're.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, a lot a lot of companies try to hook
you with that.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You know, they'll make a really nice rain jacket, but
then if you read the fine print, it's water resistant.
It's like, I don't want Why do I? I want a
rain jacket that's not waterproof?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's gonna get me wet.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
What's this point?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, the point?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
So, yeah, I've done a lot of research on Reddit
for the rain jackets. But yeah, those are the two
that most people recommend. But those are kind of top
of the line pricey. I'm sure you could probably find
one that does the same job that's probably half the price.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, but like you said, it's an investment, you know,
I'm sure I'll lost you.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
For like a really really long time.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Well, happy birthday, Christie.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Thank you, you know, twenty five or twenty one, whatever,
twenty one, very nice birthday.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Happy birthday, Christie.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:39):

When the on air Mike goes off, the talk Talk begins.
It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yes it is, and it's a celebration.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Is it a celebration?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Celebrate, celebrate good times. Let me get out some candles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh oh wait, hold on.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Martina, you just need twenty one.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I got the cake. Oh yeah, only twenty one one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't need any of those big, chunky no candles
that you know, just down to the numbers because you
can't hit all the candle up song.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We don't need that. So we don't need that.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Actually, you know what, I wouldn't want to be twenty one.
I would be thirty five.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh that's a good question. What age would you go
back to?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
First of all, let me just say welcome to Talk
Talk with Martha Quinn. This is the podcast that unites
the Morning Drive with Christy Live crew, which is Christy
and Karina of alaskaz and the marth Quinn Show crew,
which is Mark Quinn and Karina of Alaskazu.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So we always like to.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Invite you when we're hanging out and chit chatting. And
this week we are talking about the most sparkly Virgo
having a birthday Christie.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Thank you. As we have determined.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Christy is twenty one, I totally get it. You know
what's funny about MTV is it started I don't know
one hundred years ago, but I was, you know, an
embryo at that time. Let's just say so, Christy, you
brought up an interesting point. What age would you like
to in your case, fast forward to, since you're only
(01:36):
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I would fast forward to probably thirty three?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, tell me why?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What was going on then?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I don't remember, but I feel like it's past my twenties.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I was out of the military.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I feel like I was kind of established with you know,
radio and doing something that I loved on a day
to day basis. I'm trying to think though, you know,
the early thirties were kind of rocky, you know, because
let me see, I'm trying to think of like who
I was working with at the time.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, but Christie, I.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Think thirty, like in your thirties, that's a pretty good
fun age.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It's a good fun age.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You're still like, you know, going out, You're not like
the older person in the club.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You're not forty yet.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You're not forty yet, but you're not in your twenties,
so you've kind of pushed past all of that. You
can rent a car, you can drink, you have enough
money if you want to go travel hopefully. So I
would say thirty three is a good age. And I'm
just thinking ballpark, not because if there was anything specific
going on in my life that I can remember.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Krina and I were wondering, what is your most memorable birthday?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Would you say? Seventeen?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Really?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I was gonna say, give us your top three because
you've done it now you celebrate your birthday big time, which
I love, christ I do.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know how it could be any better than
last year when you ladies went and was it Bali?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Was it fee Gee? Where were you when you know?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You're in the water and Karina, I still have on
my phone the picture of you in that round like
hula hoop covered in flowers and you're swinging and this
sky was like out of a Broadway play.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It was so incredible. So yeah, what are ye?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But seventeen, let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Seventeen.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I had a birthday party and my mom was really strict.
But one of her friends, Miss Janet rest in Peace,
her friend from church. I was like, please convince my
mom to have a birthday party. I just want a
birthday party. That's all I want for my seventeenth birthday.
I just want a birthday party.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Can I stop you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right there for a second.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Had you not had a birthday party prior?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Not like that?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
No? No, not like a party, my friend, big.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Party because your mom wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
No, just because I never really thought about it. You know,
there was never like a big sweet sixteen. You know,
we usually celebrate our birthday, will go someplace to dinner.
We might go yeah, we might go out to dinner,
get like a gift. I always ask for money, that
never changes.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And basically that's it. Actually, this year, though, I asked
for something different.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You asked your mom, let's let's put it, let's put
a pen and that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I asked my mom for birthday party seventeen, and Miss
Brooks convinced her to say yes, okay, huh.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So we were like, yes, we're finally gonna have a party.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
We as in my older brother MESI, and we went
all in on the party.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I want to ask too, like because at that age,
you're like, I want this, I want what pizza or
I want this.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you remember, like what you really wanted?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I said I would pay for everything so she would
not have to pay for anything. You did, yes, a, yeah,
it was working already. Well yeah, and that was one
of my you know, selling points, like, hey, you don't
have to spend any money. We just want to have
this party. I'll pay for everything. So I think I
got Pizza's from Costco, I got a DJ. I forgot
who DJ'ed the part party, and scrill X right, I
(05:05):
know him, you know. And then we got to telling
people about the party on my seventeenth birthday, and we
told people, and then we told more people, and then
we told more people, and then we posted flyers at bart.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh my gosh, flyers, not flyers.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
At Bark, which is say like the Metro if you're
in New York or you know, DC, or the train station.
We posted literal flyers for my seventeenth birthday party.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Were you worried that people weren't going to come? What
was your thought on that?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yes, I was worried that nobody would come. So I
was like, we have to let people know so that
way people will come to my party.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Okay, so let me just stop here let me just
stop here, Let me stop here and just zig while
we're zagging for a moment. What was the job you
had that you could pay for all this and DJ
and the pizza.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I worked at a movie theater. I was just working
at a movie theater, like a cashier at a movie theater.
Super Saviors Cinema on Freemont.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Okay, So back to the flyers.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So we were posting flyers, giving them out to people.
We went to other schools, handed out flyers.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh my god, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And it was at my house. So my house isn't
like that big. It was like a three bedroom regular house,
you know, one story house in Fremont. The night of
the party comes and I'm like, okay, cool, this is great.
And people started trickling in and it was fun. It
was like, okay, what's up, come on in, Like my friends.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
From school showed up.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And then it was getting later and later and more
and more people started showing up. I left and there
was maybe about twenty or so people.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Christy, did anybody bring alcohol? By chance?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I don't remember people bringing alcohol?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Okay, you sometimes that's what happens out of like the
nineteen house party.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I wasn't that type of party.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
My mom was there, and Miss Brooks was there, and
the DJ's in the back on the deck, and then
kids are showing up, and so I'm like, okay, let
me run to Bart down the street so I can
pick up a friend of mine who had just gotten
to Bart. So I was like, let me go scoop
Jammay and then come back. How did you know that
he had arrived because he paid me?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Oh, you had a beeper?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yes, okay, kid, I'm just kidding. I'm go ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So I basically went with my friend Janine to go
pick him up and I left. There's maybe, like I said,
like twenty to thirty kids. When I came back from
picking him up, it was like a scene out of
a movie. This party would have gone viral in twenty
twenty five. There were cars all down my block and
(07:53):
kids all down my block and like all around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then I.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Went inside the house and I was like, oh my god,
look at this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This is so lit.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
But I don't know what we said back in the day,
maybe dope, I don't know. Fresh And I go inside
my house and I'm like super excited. The parties cracking,
and all of a sudden, my mom's friend, Miss Brooks, said,
can we speak to you? And we went into the
living room and my mom was sitting there and she
was like, CHRISTI.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Was the living room empty, Like how did you have
a quiet space to.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You're kind of off in the living room because people
are coming to the house but going to the backyard,
you know, so they are the backyard. They're in the backyard,
so we're kind of in the living room. People are
getting food and stuff like that, but that's in the kitchen,
so there's living room is off to the side.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Christy, I said, you could have a party. What is this?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You need to narrow it down to seven people? There
are like hundreds of people from all over And she
was like, you need to narrow this down to seven
people is dangerous. I don't know all these people. What
if the deck falls in? Like this is crazy. Meanwhile,
I'm like, how do you expect me to narrow this
(09:09):
down to like seven people? Are you insane? Even just
my friend? There's more than seven people. Yeah, And Miss
Brooks was like, this isn't what I told your mom,
you know, this isn't what you know kind of we
agreed to. And so as we're having this discussion, all
of a sudden, all you heard was po po. Someone
yelled police because now there's like hundreds of kids on
(09:33):
this street in Fremont. There's a DJ party going on,
and people are like, what is going on? I told you,
like a scene out of a movie. I wish to
god there was a video of this night. That's because
it was so insane. And then police had come because
it's Fremont, it's like suburbia, so police are here now,
and someone yelled police. No one's doing anything wrong, but
(09:54):
someone yelled police. So everyone starts running freaking out. So
everyone's running. Now there's hundreds of kids running all over
the neighborhood. Man from my backyard, they bust through the
fence to my neighbor's yard, knock the fence over because
they ran through the fence to like get out. But
I don't know, like why is everyone running? But you know,
(10:16):
when one person starts running, everyone starts running. So everyone's
like running cleared out the house.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh your mom, Christy, and she's.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Like in the living room, like freaking out, silently freaking out.
And then the police came and they're like, Okay, you
need to shut it down.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And the DJ was like, so, what's up.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Do you want me to like keep playing And I'm
like no, we got to kind of like, you know,
shut it down. And so people just kind of hung
out for the rest of the night on my block.
And I lived right across the street from a park,
so a lot of people kind of went to the park.
And then my next door neighbor, Jason, his mom happened
to be out of town, so he was like, you
(10:56):
can move the party to my house, Like, just tell
the DJ to like set up in my backyard. I
mean the fence is down now because like it got
knocked down. So how old was Jason Jason's probably he
was probably sixteen sixteen.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You you was probably giving your mom like h that
that day.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And then it got yeah, it got cleared out. Finally
everyone kind of went home. I didn't get like grounded
or in trouble or anything. My mom was a little
silent for the next couple of days. But that was
my seventeenth birthday party. I'll never forget it. And I
ran into someone earlier when was it earlier this year?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Late last year?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
In New Orleans and he had gone to school with us,
and I just ran into him randomly. My brother's like, hey,
you remember blah blah blah, and he was like, man,
I still remember your birthday party?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh man, God.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Said I wish I had video. He's like me too,
that was crazy. He was like, your party was crazy.
I was like, I know, we posted flyers at part.
It was crazy. I don't know what we're thinking now.
I don't know what we're thinking. Yeah, you are thinking, yep,
that was it seventeen So what.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Happened to the fence? Did you have to pay for that? No?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
So when we got back, like we tried to like
lift it up. So the next day we're trying to
like lift up the fence and kind of you know,
stick it back in the ground. And it never was
quite right after that party, Like, it never was quite right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
They never got it really really repaired. It's was just
kind of like.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Leaning, you know, don't lean on the fence. Yeah, basically
one of those yep.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
But do you think Jason's parents came home and they
were like, no, I don't. I don't think our friend
was our fence.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Who is like that?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I mean, if they did, we didn't get in trouble. So, yeah,
it was a crazy party. I just wish to god
there was video. But I could call I could call
one of my best friends right now, Janine, and she'll
tell you. I'll be like, girl, you remember my seventeenth birthday.
She'll be like, dog party.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah. I feel like too.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That was maybe back in the day when we weren't
so stranger danger, because you could post things on bart,
you know, and just like randomly like now, I don't
think you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Would ever do that now.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Way, no way, No, you want somebody to come ransack
your house or something.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, we shouldn't have done it back then either, but
you know, hey, we really wanted a party.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We really really wanted a party.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And while we're at it, can we revisit then, Christy,
what it is that you asked for this year?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This year?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I asked for cash, And then I was like, you
know what people always ask, like, what can I get you?
My mom and my brother and I wanted a rain
jacket and I want a different this Patagonia rain jacket.
And it was a pretty expensive jacket, and I'm like,
that's a lot of money for a jacket. But supposedly
it's like the best of the best rain coat, and
(13:54):
it's packable so you can like roll it up into
a tiny little ball and like stuff it in itself,
so if you're ever or like in the rain or whatever.
And I travel a lot and sometimes there's rain without
having to bring a big parka and I said, you
know what, I'm gonna splurge and buy this jacket. And
so I went, and I really wanted the black one.
And then I was like, oh, but the green one
is on sale, and you know I like a deal.
(14:15):
So I got the green one, and I'm like, you know,
the black one would really go with like everything.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I should have just got the black And.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Then I said, you know what, my brother asked me
what I wanted, So I'm going to be like, you
know what, this is what I want, and I'm going
to have him get me the black one and then
take the green one back. So mostly when I want something,
I get at myself. Whenever people ask what do you want,
I'm like nothing, I don't want anything.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I will say that you and your brother are very
and your mom too, very generous with one another when
it comes to gifts. They'd be like, oh, I want
a jet, a fuel jet, you know too.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
For a day, Like that's very generous. Well that's great.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, so a rain jacket a rain jacket, Yeah, that's
what I want.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
So I'm gonna go back.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I might go get it today, like I'll go buy
it and then he can just give me the money.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That is very funny because just today I was googling
rain jackets because my daughter and her husband are finally
coming back to the States and it's getting to be,
you know, colder, and I thought, these guys, I want
to get them nice rain jackets because I got myself
(15:24):
a really nice rain jacket this year, so I thought
I would get them really nice rain jackets. So now
I'm going to look up that Patagonia rain jacket.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, and Arii has one too. Patagonia has a three
L and then Arii has one as well.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But they're both this like they're super thin.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
They're really really thin, so they're kind of like I
guess shells, and they're men like a shell. Yeah, they're
meant for layering, but they're like super you know, I
guess waterproof. They're not water resistant, they're waterproof, they're.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, a lot a lot of companies try to hook
you with that.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You know, they'll make a really nice rain jacket, but
then if you read the fine print, it's water resistant.
It's like, I don't want Why do I? I want a
rain jacket that's not waterproof?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's gonna get me wet.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
What's this point?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, the point?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
So, yeah, I've done a lot of research on Reddit
for the rain jackets. But yeah, those are the two
that most people recommend. But those are kind of top
of the line pricey. I'm sure you could probably find
one that does the same job that's probably half the price.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, but like you said, it's an investment, you know,
I'm sure I'll lost you.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
For like a really really long time.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Well, happy birthday, Christie.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Thank you, you know, twenty five or twenty one, whatever,
twenty one, very nice birthday.
