Speaker 1 (00:00):
When the on air Mike goes off, the talk Talk begins.
It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't know what's going You guys know what that is?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I do, I do?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
What is got?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Okay, Karna is imitating what it was like to put
your tongue on a nine volt battery in the nineties. Yeah,
welcome to episode number two hundred and fifty one of
Talk Talk with Martha Quinn. This is the show that
unites the very awesome Morning Drive with Christy Live crew
(00:34):
that would be Christy and Karina of Alaskaz with the
Martha Quinn Show crew, which is Martha Quinn and Karina
of Alaskas. We are a small but mighty trio. We
call ourselves Las Chase Amigas and we basically take over
the radio station here in San Francisco from six in
the morning until three in the afternoon. So this is
(00:55):
when we get to hang out and we invite you
to join us. Now it's it's all gonna make sense
as to why Karina was imitating what it was like
to be in the nineties and put your tongue on
a nine volt battery. I'm Martha Quinn, have never ever ever,
would I ever even consider doing such a thing ever,
Christy real what No?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I thought all kids did it.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
No, you're kidding, You've done it. Christy, you the smart
one among us.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Multiple times, multiple times, Kara Alaskas, multiple times, multiple times.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I remember this because it gave up like a little
shock on your tongue.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I don't know why we did it.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
There's a lot of things we did as children that
did not make any sense, but you did it. It's
kind of like talking into a fan where you're like, ah,
you know when you're talking into like a fan.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, fan, why are you doing it? Who knows?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
But you do it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
But the reason we started talking about this is because
there is a new chip that's coming now that's supposed
to give you the sensation of putting your tongue on
a nine vault battery.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's a potato chip.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Is it a potato chip or a corn chip? Like
a super hot nacho thing?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Like a nacho thing.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
It's a corn chip with it looks like a dorito
and it has, like, you know, a powdered coating like
a dorito, except the powdered coating is nine volt battery
flavored instead of nacho cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
This is what I call marketing. But you know, I
like it. I think it's creative. I think it's outside
of the box. I think somebody said, hey, here's an
idea for how to describe the spicy sensation. I give
them a plus for that, I truly do. But it
did give us the idea of things that we did
(02:49):
that were kind of kooky as kids, So I like it.
I never stuck my tongue on a nine volt battery,
I will say, but when I was in high school,
I'm sure I guarantee you if I went back to
this bridge that was over the Croton Dam in Croton,
New York. I suppose. But I grew up in Austin
and New York, and we used to sneak onto this bridge.
(03:13):
It was a train trestle and we would jump off
into the dam. I can't quite believe I ever did that.
I'm sure I would be scared to death. Now I
can guarantee you that it's fenced off. There's no way
you're allowed to do that these days. But that is
something I did as a kid and thought it was
super fun.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Oh that's brave of you. Because I'm not jumping out
of anything. One thing that comes to mind for me,
Martha is riding in the back of a car like
the old Volkswagen cars. Is a Volkswagen when there was
like no seatbelt, you're pretty much like in the chunk
of a.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Car the station wagon, thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I gotn't remember what it was called.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But doing that.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
As a kid, like without not worrying about getting in
a crash or just being back there fighting with my sisters.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No seatbelts, no nothing, no.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, you got told to get into the way back, yeah,
because that's where you rude. Sure, just with the bags
of groceries and you and the dogs. Ever's back there
getting the way back? Yeah, And it was fun. You
could set up like your own little world back there.
Seat belts no, it was just like a little your
own little house back there. You could play house on
(04:27):
the way back while your mom is on the freeway
or going wherever she's going, and you're playing happily as
a little kid in the way back yep.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Or Another thing would be like trying, I say, trying
to like climb trees. Oh god, that then, but I
don't know why I would do it, stupid because you know,
fall off could have broken my leg. Actually, my sister
tried to jump off like this kind of parked. It
was a not a real cable car, but it was
a fake cable car, uh huh. And we were at
(04:55):
a park and she jumped off of it thinking she
could fly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
M and she broke her Like, oh, that's the start
of it all.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Wow, It's like.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Stupid things like that that we would do as kids,
like oh, let me see if I can fly.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
You had to try it, or at least hold something
like a parachute to see if it would make you
come down a little slower. But I think jumping off
things was the first thing I thought of when you're like, okay,
what are the things that you did. Another thing, my
brother and my old next door neighbor, Jason, and I,
all three of us, we were like always outside playing.
I remember it was super hot and the neighbor behind
(05:34):
Jason had a swimming pool and we were like, gosh,
we wish we could just go into that swimming pool.
So we went and knocked on the door and we
were like, Hi, do you guys have any kids. They're
like no, and then they're like no, and I was like, well,
can we please swim in your pool? You know, we
(05:54):
were going to ask to play with their kids to
try and get in the pool, but that didn't work.
And then we were like, well, can we just go
into your swimming pool? Of course they were like no,
unfortunately you can't, but we have to try it something
you did as a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
How you turned down three little kids come on who
come knocking on your door with their cute little bathing
suits on and say can we swim in your swimming
pool when you're not using it? I mean, oh gosh, wow,
how do you do that?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Man, you think about the life and their parents suing
you of something.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah that is true.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Wow, that is true.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, you'd get in big trouble for that.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Right now, though, you wouldn't go knock on a stranger's door,
you know, and you'd probably be if they did too.
I mean, but yeah, things are different back in the day.
But yeah, you just had no fear when you were
a kid because you didn't think about those things, the
broken bones or the repercussions or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Let me go to a stranger.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That being said, I was allowed to go swimming in
my neighbor's swimming pool anytime. I didn't think about it.
And they had an old school swimming pool as the
coolest thing, Like they must have made it themselves. Not
my neighbor's life, but whoever built that house, they must
have made this pool themselves. And it was just cement.
(07:24):
It was like a cement swimming hole, and it was
kind of cool because it was like dark green and
so it kind of seemed like a pond. But I
would go swim in that pool all the time. But
you know, you never thought of, well, if something happened
to me, you know, my mom's going to be able
to sue them. Like you just didn't think about that
(07:45):
back then, not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
And people weren't quick to sue the way they are
these days, where they'll sue over the serving size of
fruit loops that literally.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
In real life.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So or even like I think sometimes too, because my
parents went to Mexico recently and they were saying, how
my cousin set his kid into the pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know, just like like.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Parried, no, you go give them this money. But I'm
like my parents were really surprised his kid was is
what like maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
People used to send their kids to buy cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh no, yes, yeah, really, yes, you were allot to
buy cigarettes that young.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I mean if you say they're for your parents, a
lot of times they'll be like, go in and get
my cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yes, people would do that, Martha. You remember that. Well.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
When my husband was in high school, all the kids
would go to the candy store that was right down
the street from the high school and they'd all buy cigarettes.
You know, it wasn't illegal, you know, right there next
to the uh gummy bears was the cigarettes, and all
the kids would buy cigarettes. In my high school, there
was a smoking section.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, okay, Raymond. There's a friend of mine, Raymond.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
He calls in the morning and he talks about Ignacio
Valley High School and conquered huh, And I think he
went to school either in the late sixties early seventies.
And he said that the school had a special break
time just so people could smoke, no way, and a
(09:17):
special section so the kids could like smoke.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, and he says they weren't worried about cell phones.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
They're worried about kids sneaking off smoking at school, so
they just like made a specific time in the section,
so then kids could smoke at school.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
That's crazy. I can't imagine a school right now having that.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
We didn't have a special break time, but we had,
you know, in the morning, I'd get off the bus,
walk down the hill to the front door of Ostining
High School and there was the smoking section right there.
You walk past all the kids smoking and not getting
their morning smokes before school.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And yeah, that's it. And you didn't think anything of it.
I wasn't going, oh my gosh, my high school is
It's just that's just you just that's how it was.
I looked back at the Breakfast Club and that final
scene where Molly Ringwald and I forget who else was
(10:14):
making out with who at the very end of that movie,
Like was Molly Ringwold making out with Judd Nelson whatever
their characters were, and their parents were waiting in the
car to pick them up from detention. Like I never ever,
I've never done that. That's movie magic. I don't think
(10:35):
that would have actually happened with anything of things that
we had, like the slip in slide and you'd put
it in your backyard and you wouldn't check for rocks
or anything, and you'd just go whipping down that slip
and slide practically, you know, there's probably rusty nails underneath
it and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, we weren't in my family, Mark and Christy, we didn't.
We couldn't afford a slip and slide or my parents
would just bias one. So we'd get garbage bags and
then to the oh yeah, go to the park and.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Then try to wet it, and that's what we would use.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
We'd get hurt all the time and get what's it
called when you burn your knee, like on the grass,
skin your knee, yeah, like skin your knee on the
road rush? Road?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Is it road rush?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I don't know if it's road rash, green rash, grass crash, gosh.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Crash, Oh no, gosh crash.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But yeah, ah, the good old slip and slide. Let's
all go home. We had a tongue on batteries, guys.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We had another friend who lived on a cul de
sack and we'd go out and play kickball in the
cul de sack and your safety system with somebody yelling
out car and then everybody would, you know, scatter to
the sides and that was it. And the car would
come along, nobody was saying, Hey, do your parents know
you're out here in the street.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yeah, it's true. Now when I see kids playing, I'm like,
where's your mom?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Why are you crash?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Playing by yourself kid.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Even when I see kids walking home from school sometimes
still like I'm like, oh, they're walking home.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They look a little young. They'd look young, but we
were walking home.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah, I we see that, especially kids under ten, and
it's like the older one is eight and then the
younger guys five, and then they're just walking home by
themselves with the little backpacks, and I'm thinking, oh my gosh,
this is so dangerous.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I never there were people in my neighborhood who would
let their kids ride their bicycle. And our neighborhood, which is,
you know, fairly safe, but there's you know, I was
always worried about driveways. First of all, people backing out
of their driveways, and second of all, I was just worried,
you know, them being little and portable. Yeah you know
what I'm saying. And I was like, no way, No.
(12:46):
In our day, that was very common. Maybe it's because
that we would all, you know, ride our bicycles around.
Maybe it's because of news being so much more easily
accessible that we're hearing all of the potential downsides. Yeah,
and maybe we just lived in ignorance. Is bliss time?
I don't know which do you think?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I definitely don't think we thought about it, or I
don't think it happened as much. Yeah, happened, but it
didn't happen as much I guess, or if it did,
we didn't hear about it. So yeah, definitely hearing about
it and it being top of mind gives you pause.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But you know, well, moral of the story is, don't
put your tongue on a nine volt battery. That can't
be good for you.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I can't car battery.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Excuse I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Twenty twenty five got a upgrade.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, now it's gotta be some lithium battery.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm sure that that would not be good. All right, well, listen,
thank you for hanging out with us. We appreciate you.

Talk with Martha Quinn. I'm Martha Quinn, I'm Christy, I'm
Karna Velaska's missiur ready
When the on air Mike goes off, the talk Talk begins.
It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't know what's going You guys know what that is?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I do, I do?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
What is got?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Okay, Karna is imitating what it was like to put
your tongue on a nine volt battery in the nineties. Yeah,
welcome to episode number two hundred and fifty one of
Talk Talk with Martha Quinn. This is the show that
unites the very awesome Morning Drive with Christy Live crew
(00:34):
that would be Christy and Karina of Alaskaz with the
Martha Quinn Show crew, which is Martha Quinn and Karina
of Alaskas. We are a small but mighty trio. We
call ourselves Las Chase Amigas and we basically take over
the radio station here in San Francisco from six in
the morning until three in the afternoon. So this is
(00:55):
when we get to hang out and we invite you
to join us. Now it's it's all gonna make sense
as to why Karina was imitating what it was like
to be in the nineties and put your tongue on
a nine volt battery. I'm Martha Quinn, have never ever ever,
would I ever even consider doing such a thing ever,
Christy real what No?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I thought all kids did it.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
No, you're kidding, You've done it. Christy, you the smart
one among us.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Multiple times, multiple times, Kara Alaskas, multiple times, multiple times.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I remember this because it gave up like a little
shock on your tongue.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I don't know why we did it.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
There's a lot of things we did as children that
did not make any sense, but you did it. It's
kind of like talking into a fan where you're like, ah,
you know when you're talking into like a fan.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, fan, why are you doing it? Who knows?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
But you do it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
But the reason we started talking about this is because
there is a new chip that's coming now that's supposed
to give you the sensation of putting your tongue on
a nine vault battery.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's a potato chip.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Is it a potato chip or a corn chip? Like
a super hot nacho thing?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Like a nacho thing.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
It's a corn chip with it looks like a dorito
and it has, like, you know, a powdered coating like
a dorito, except the powdered coating is nine volt battery
flavored instead of nacho cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
This is what I call marketing. But you know, I

But doing that.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
As a kid, like without not worrying about getting in
a crash or just being back there fighting with my sisters.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No seatbelts, no nothing, no.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, you got told to get into the way back, yeah,

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Wow, It's like.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Stupid things like that that we would do as kids,
like oh, let me see if I can fly.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
You had to try it, or at least hold something
like a parachute to see if it would make you
come down a little slower. But I think jumping off
things was the first thing I thought of when you're like, okay,
what are the things that you did. Another thing, my
brother and my old next door neighbor, Jason, and I,
all three of us, we were like always outside playing.
I remember it was super hot and the neighbor behind
(05:34):
Jason had a swimming pool and we were like, gosh,

(05:54):
were going to ask to play with their kids to
try and get in the pool, but that didn't work.
And then we were like, well, can we just go
into your swimming pool? Of course they were like no,
unfortunately you can't, but we have to try it something
you did as a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
How you turned down three little kids come on who
come knocking on your door with their cute little bathing
suits on and say can we swim in your swimming
pool when you're not using it? I mean, oh gosh, wow,
how do you do that?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Man, you think about the life and their parents suing
you of something.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah that is true.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Wow, that is true.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, you'd get in big trouble for that.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Right now, though, you wouldn't go knock on a stranger's door,
you know, and you'd probably be if they did too.
I mean, but yeah, things are different back in the day.
But yeah, you just had no fear when you were
a kid because you didn't think about those things, the
broken bones or the repercussions or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Let me go to a stranger.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That being said, I was allowed to go swimming in
my neighbor's swimming pool anytime. I didn't think about it.
And they had an old school swimming pool as the
coolest thing, Like they must have made it themselves. Not

would go swim in that pool all the time. But
you know, you never thought of, well, if something happened
to me, you know, my mom's going to be able
to sue them. Like you just didn't think about that
(07:45):
back then, not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
And people weren't quick to sue the way they are
these days, where they'll sue over the serving size of
fruit loops that literally.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
In real life.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So or even like I think sometimes too, because my
parents went to Mexico recently and they were saying, how
my cousin set his kid into the pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know, just like like.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Parried, no, you go give them this money. But I'm
like my parents were really surprised his kid was is
what like maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
People used to send their kids to buy cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh no, yes, yeah, really, yes, you were allot to
buy cigarettes that young.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I mean if you say they're for your parents, a
lot of times they'll be like, go in and get
my cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yes, people would do that, Martha. You remember that. Well.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
When my husband was in high school, all the kids
would go to the candy store that was right down
the street from the high school and they'd all buy cigarettes.
You know, it wasn't illegal, you know, right there next
to the uh gummy bears was the cigarettes, and all
the kids would buy cigarettes. In my high school, there
was a smoking section.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, okay, Raymond. There's a friend of mine, Raymond.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
He calls in the morning and he talks about Ignacio
Valley High School and conquered huh, And I think he
went to school either in the late sixties early seventies.
And he said that the school had a special break
time just so people could smoke, no way, and a
(09:17):
special section so the kids could like smoke.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, and he says they weren't worried about cell phones.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
They're worried about kids sneaking off smoking at school, so
they just like made a specific time in the section,
so then kids could smoke at school.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
That's crazy. I can't imagine a school right now having that.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
We didn't have a special break time, but we had,
you know, in the morning, I'd get off the bus,
walk down the hill to the front door of Ostining
High School and there was the smoking section right there.
You walk past all the kids smoking and not getting
their morning smokes before school.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And yeah, that's it. And you didn't think anything of it.
I wasn't going, oh my gosh, my high school is
It's just that's just you just that's how it was.
I looked back at the Breakfast Club and that final
scene where Molly Ringwald and I forget who else was
(10:14):
making out with who at the very end of that movie,
Like was Molly Ringwold making out with Judd Nelson whatever
their characters were, and their parents were waiting in the
car to pick them up from detention. Like I never ever,
I've never done that. That's movie magic. I don't think
(10:35):
that would have actually happened with anything of things that
we had, like the slip in slide and you'd put
it in your backyard and you wouldn't check for rocks
or anything, and you'd just go whipping down that slip
and slide practically, you know, there's probably rusty nails underneath
it and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, we weren't in my family, Mark and Christy, we didn't.
We couldn't afford a slip and slide or my parents
would just bias one. So we'd get garbage bags and
then to the oh yeah, go to the park and.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Then try to wet it, and that's what we would use.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
We'd get hurt all the time and get what's it
called when you burn your knee, like on the grass,
skin your knee, yeah, like skin your knee on the
road rush? Road?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Is it road rush?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I don't know if it's road rash, green rash, grass crash, gosh.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Crash, Oh no, gosh crash.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But yeah, ah, the good old slip and slide. Let's
all go home. We had a tongue on batteries, guys.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We had another friend who lived on a cul de
sack and we'd go out and play kickball in the
cul de sack and your safety system with somebody yelling
out car and then everybody would, you know, scatter to
the sides and that was it. And the car would
come along, nobody was saying, Hey, do your parents know
you're out here in the street.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yeah, it's true. Now when I see kids playing, I'm like,
where's your mom?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Why are you crash?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Playing by yourself kid.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Even when I see kids walking home from school sometimes
still like I'm like, oh, they're walking home.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They look a little young. They'd look young, but we
were walking home.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah, I we see that, especially kids under ten, and
it's like the older one is eight and then the
younger guys five, and then they're just walking home by
themselves with the little backpacks, and I'm thinking, oh my gosh,
this is so dangerous.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I never there were people in my neighborhood who would
let their kids ride their bicycle. And our neighborhood, which is,
you know, fairly safe, but there's you know, I was
always worried about driveways. First of all, people backing out
of their driveways, and second of all, I was just worried,
you know, them being little and portable. Yeah you know
what I'm saying. And I was like, no way, No.
(12:46):
In our day, that was very common. Maybe it's because
that we would all, you know, ride our bicycles around.
Maybe it's because of news being so much more easily
accessible that we're hearing all of the potential downsides. Yeah,
and maybe we just lived in ignorance. Is bliss time?
I don't know which do you think?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I definitely don't think we thought about it, or I
don't think it happened as much. Yeah, happened, but it
didn't happen as much I guess, or if it did,
we didn't hear about it. So yeah, definitely hearing about
it and it being top of mind gives you pause.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But you know, well, moral of the story is, don't
put your tongue on a nine volt battery. That can't
be good for you.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I can't car battery.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Excuse I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Twenty twenty five got a upgrade.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, now it's gotta be some lithium battery.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm sure that that would not be good. All right, well, listen,

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy.

Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
