because the water's there, but.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I like the beach. I just don't like the ocean
or the right.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So she didn't say long swims thanks at the beach.

So welcome to episode number two hundred and twenty five
(01:55):
of the podcast we call Talk Talk with Marth Quinn
featuring Christy and Karna of Alaska. And my husband found
this video of me with Van Halen's David lee Roth.
It was New Year's Eve nineteen eighty three turning into
nineteen eighty four, and I was commenting on it because
I feel like I could not do this accent now
(02:18):
if I tried.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
One minute to New Year's We are getting ready for it,
as you can see David Leerelli going forward the first
New Year's on the East Coast. We're going to nineteen
eighty four. The name of the new Van Halen album.
We just saw the world premiere. In fact, right now,
we are going to go to our very own JJ
Jackson on the stage, who was gonna wish us a
(02:40):
happy New Year?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
JJ?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So Christy Karna Sage. It was really great to be
hanging out with you. We're going to go right now
to JJ Jackson. Yes, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
When I saw this video, I was like, first of all,
David Lee rob having a really good time.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He's faded. He is on a whole other level.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The eighties were fun, Ladies, The eighties were fun. It's true.
I mean that I credit Dave for bringing the party
vibe that the eighties are known for. I believe he
brought it to the table, set it down on the
table like a big bottle of champagne, popped it open,
and that attitude pervaded the entire eighties. And I think
(03:28):
he brought it because, quite honestly, he had it going
way before the eighties started. He just brought it in
and it was infectious and it caught on.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Martha, were you so wait? Where was this at again?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh? Gosh, Well that was New York City, definitely, which venue,
I don't remember the name of it. It might have
been the Hotel Diplomat. It might not have I don't
remember the name of the venue, but it was definitely
New York City. And I have to say when I
heard myself say, you know, J, J J, this is
(04:00):
how at my heart broke into a million pieces, because
I gotta be honest, I you know, I miss those days.
It was really fun. But that was New York City.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I remember when you said JJ Jackson. The first thing
I thought of was like, oh, I rest in peace.
I know how much he meant to your crew.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yes, And somebody tweeted to me the other day somebody
got a hold of tape of JJ introducing led Zeppelin
on stage in Boston in the sixties and it was like,
oh my gosh, it was really amazing. I say this
all the time whenever I mentioned JJ Jackson, that he
was a rock and roll legend before he walked in
(04:39):
the door. But at any rate, the eighties were fun.
I think that that's such a good little snippet of
it of just the eighties were fun, and you know,
like he was like kind of leaning over and there
was one point where I think actually planting cans and
it was like, I don't know, I do feel like
we didn't think of it in those days as being
over st bounds or anything. It was just sort of
(05:01):
the eighties were fun.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It looked like a really fun time, Martha Quinn.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It looked like fun.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Yes, yes, I don't know if it was a New
York accent or was the fact that I was doing
radio in college and I was always listening to other
female DJs in New York, And I feel like that
might be a little bit of where that accent was
coming from.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But now I feel like, I who is that person?
Like if you heard that without knowing that it was me,
do you think that you would go, oh, that's Martha.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yes, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think you still kind of hear your voice if
we didn't see the video.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, I think I still hear your voice. I think
when you hear you or yourself from back in the
eighties and old clips of MTV, because you've mentioned this before,
when you've heard these clips, like where did that accent
come from? But when I hear you, I just hear
Martha Quinn.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Hah.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's interesting. I feel like it's like that Bob Dylan
larn when he said I I was so much older
than I'm younger than that. Now, I feel like, you know,
accent aside, I feel like I seemed like I was
so smooth together and hey, let's go to Jed Jed Jackson.
(06:15):
Now maybe because you know, we were a very well
oiled machine by that time. But I look at that
in kind of amazement, like going through all of that
with that accent and everything being crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But plus, Martha, you were also, I mean very young then, right,
was like, I'm guessing that's the beginning of m TV.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Nineteen eighty three was two years into it. So was
I very young?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Heck?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, I mean I look at myself. I was forty
and I go, oh my gosh, I was so young.
Let alone, let's see how old would I have been.
I was twenty four. That is kind of crazy. Huh
wow cool?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
And you look the same, which is even no, Like
I need to stop eating meat.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
What is the secret? Oh my god, I have a
vegetable to some yoga, N drink some water?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, I need to drink more water. How are you
doing on the water drinking? Christy?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know, before I went to BALI, I was doing
two leaders a day, and.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I did you notice a difference?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I had to go to the bathroom a lot more.
But that's about it. I didn't really notice a difference
in my skin. I didn't notice a difference in anything.
You know. When I noticed the most difference, I think
was when there's a doctor like doctor Sebbi.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't know if he's an actual doctor, but it's
the kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Oh I've heard of doctor Sebby.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So doctor Sebe.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I heard of doctor Sebbi.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yeah, and he I don't know if he's Rastafarian, but
he definitely promoted the use of like sea moss and
eating raw foods. And there were specific raw foods that
he's like have not been genetically altered or modified in
any way, shape or form. There's like a list and
it's only about twenty to twenty five foods and they're
(08:05):
mostly like raw fruits and vegetables. And so an ex
girlfriend of mine, we did this raw food doctor Sebby
kind of cleanse for thirty days.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
And it took to like the twenty seventh day because
I kept saying, I don't notice anything. I don't notice anything.
I haven't noticed anything. But around the twenty seventh, towards
the end of it, I started to notice. Okay, you
know things are a little different. Things are moving differently
in my body, things like you know, my breath different,
(08:37):
things like smell different. Like I noticed different there, but
not like just drinking more water.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I think, Christy, maybe because your body is so used
to well, all of our bodies are so used to
be in a certain way that when we're probably incorporating
something different, well, it takes a long time to affect
your body.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What does seams do for you?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Sea moss has all of the nutrients and minerals that
aren't contained in food, and they they definitely it helps
me get when I get sick. It has omega three
fatty acids. It really helps with your immune system. It's
it's just great. I love sea moss. Do you drink
(09:17):
it or do you eat it both? Oh, you can
drink it. If you have sea moss gel, you can
eat it on in food. You can take a capsule.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well you feel it makes a difference in your body.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
One million percent, I'll try it.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yes, I definitely am a huge, huge, huge lover of
sea moss.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Shout out two. Oh I am so. I just stomped
on you right now.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I was just making a jokers not to be confused
with seaweed. That's all.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, sea moss is kind of a seaweed, isn't it?
You kind of this.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Sea Oh yeah, it's found in the found in the ocean.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
You grab it, it's raw, you mix it up, you
blend it up. It looks like sea. It looks like
yellow thick seaweed.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, and then I forget how you do it now, Christy.
You soak it and then blend it in the blender
and it comes out comes out like jello, almost like seaweed. Yello.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, like jello or like a gel. And it's yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It has great benefits for your skin, for your hair,
for your immune system. It makes you, It gives people energy. Yeah,
I love it. I definitely highly recommend it. It has like
what is it, ninety two minerals. Ninety two minerals are
found in sea moss.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
But you could.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Already buy it, so you, like, you don't have to
blend it yourself. You could already just have it already
kind of made. How it's supposed to be an endrow
it in your stuff, however you eat it or drink it.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yep, you can buy it made, but you can steeper
to buy it dry and then just soak it and
make it yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Shout out Joseph's Organic Bakery in Miami A Joseph's Organic Bakery,
we will help you on your alkalin diet journey. Are
a special sour dough bread is made with camut. Camuot
is an ancient grain approved by doctor Sebbi with anti
inflammatory properties, and they're way into doctor Sebi. That's where
(11:12):
I first heard about this, doctor Sebbi, and I believe
they do. Joseph's Organic Bakery sell sea mus, though I'm
not saying it right now, but I don't know about
buying sea moss. I think it's better if you make
it fresh.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah, if you buy it, because then you don't know
when they made it, how they made it, where it
came from. If you just find a good sea moss producer,
there's tons you can get it, like actual people who
went and grabbed it from the sea dried it out.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Here was a guy that you turned me onto ages ago,
but I forget his name, but that's where I was
getting sea mus from for a while. It's just hard
to do, like you gotta wash it and soak it.
But at any rate. Doctor Sebbi got you on this diet,
so you did eventually have a positive feeling about it
(12:00):
to the water. When you were drinking the two liters
a day, did you eventually notice anything or.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Just never just had to go to the bathroom more.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Well, I've been thinking I need to start drinking coffee
later because I like to wake up in the morning
and slam that coffee right away.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Me too, it you do, yeah, Martha Christy. The coffee
doesn't affect you, guys in the evening. It doesn't keep
you up.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Oh yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I think the same thing. In the morning when I
wake up, I go, I don't care. I just want
it so bad, but I don't have it that late,
but probably it does. My son was telling me that
you have these things some kind of cells called a
dentiscene or something like that, and they accumulate in your
(12:43):
body and they make you more tired, kind of like melotonin.
But the caffeine blocks the a dentiscene from grabbing onto
your cells or something like that, and he goes and
then when the caffeine wears off, all the a dentisceine
floods in or something like that, and I go, well,
isn't that good? Then it makes you tired. But he
was saying, well caffeine, and I don't know, it's not
(13:04):
good for you. But I'm like, la la la. Man. Listen,
what's the most fun New Year's Eve either of you had?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Man, I would say, back in the day when one
of our sister stations had the New Year's Eve parties
at the hotels and they would book us, and you know,
we worked for the station, so they would put us
in a hotel and we didn't have.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
To really that's fun.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, we didn't have to Like it was.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We didn't have to worry about going anywhere, and the
parties would last like all night.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, those were the funnest. Nothing but DJ's booze.
There was food. I remember.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
The one of the biggest parties was at the Hyatt
in San Francisco and En Vogue.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No was it in Vogue or Sister Sledge.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
One of the two.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But it was such a great grand party. Same thing, like,
they put us up in a hotel room.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We didn't have to worry about driving it where and
it was just a fun time.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Everybody was just having a good time.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
And then the.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Balloon drops that night, Like, that's one of the memories.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And I think I took my parents to that with me,
So that was one of the most memorable ones that
I that I remember.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, those were great, Christy, those were great. I would say,
those school case parties, Yeah, they were good time at
the hotel.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Dang, I think we might need to mention something to
little Ricky and be like, hey.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Let's bring it back.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, let's bring that back. That sounds super fun. What
about for you, Martha, Oh, I have to say, without
a doubt, well, okay, my husband and I did have
one of the first New Year's Eves that we spent
together that we knew. Okay, we're a match ban in Heaven. Okay.
The the MTV ones definitely, you know, they're kind of
in a class by themselves because they were so much
(14:50):
fun and we were all young and enthusiastic. The one
of the parties, I was horrified when I left, of course,
knowing me, because something had happened. We were all on
camera right and Keith Richards came down and he was
talking to Mark, let's say, and I was sitting right
next to Mark, and then maybe one of the stray
(15:11):
cats came down and sat next to me. So I
turn and I start talking to one of the stray
cats I believe it was. And after the party, I
was absolutely and this was on camera. I was horrified.
I was like, oh, look, Mark was talking to Keith Richards.
I don't know what I was thinking. I just started
talking to Lee Rocker and I forgot completely that Mark
(15:32):
was on camera talking to Keith Richards and I just
start blathering on to Lee Rocker and I was horrified.
I thought, I'm gonna get fired. They're absolutely, one hundred
percent gonna fire me. And I went home and thank goodness,
I had taped the whole thing, and I was like
so scared, and I was going through the tape, you know,
and it was coming up to that part, and coming.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Up to that part of like here it comes, I'm
gonna get a phone call, I'm gonna get fired.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It was totally fine, so Mark Goodman was.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It was on air live, but then you were having
a side conversation and not realizing it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
No, but it was totally fine. Yeah, in a moment,
however I handled it. It was totally fine, totally fine.
But afterwards, I second and third and fourth and fifth
guessed myself that by the time I got home my
skin was crawling with mortification. It was totally fine. So
(16:25):
that was maybe the most extreme example of a phenomenon
that still plagues me today.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I sounds like you today.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, yeah, I still have that pattern. And I think
maybe that's when that pattern really crystallized, that I have
that complete mortified feeling like I did something horribly wrong
and then it turns out to be it's fine. It's
not you know, in this case, it wasn't even where
I go, well, it's not that bad. It was totally fine.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
She's like, you know, Richard was just here, and then
you know, the Straight Cats came.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I love that's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
But my husband and I, you know, later after MTV,
we were planning our New Year's Eve and we had
a party that we could go to, but we had
a copy of Gandhi with whose guy that played Gandhi?
Now I forget really Ben Kingsley. So we stayed home
and watched Gandhi for New Year's Eve and it was
a great New Year's Eve and we were like, oh,
(17:26):
you know what, We're made for each other.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Wild early crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah, that was the beginning of that pattern too. Actually,
stay home, stay together, and stay home save too.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And you save money that way.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yes, Well, if anybody wants to check out the interview
that Martha did with David Lee Roth, we'll put it
up on our socials and yeah.

at Marth Quinn and Facebook at Marth Quinn Presents. I
am aware that everybody has Instagram and all that, but
I'm like, I can't do it. No, I've got two kids.
That's all I can handle. As I always say, I
(18:29):
have a very small plate. There are so many times
when I go, oh, I gotta get you know, you know,
sometimes my own two children Twitter and Facebook, they get
a little neglected. You know, they're a little their clothes
are a little torn. They haven't eaten in a while,
they haven't had any water in a while, and I
have to go. Oh, I got to take care of
these kids. So that's all I have. That's what i've got.
(18:50):
I've had those for years. That's what I've gotten. I'm
sticking with them so at any rate, Well, thank you
