Speaker 4 (01:07):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Let's call it sweet sixteen. So the topic of our podcast,
which happens every week. It's the podcast that unites the
Morning Drive with Christy Live Crewe Christie Kreeane of Alaskaz
with a Martha Quinn Show crew which is Martha Quinn
and Surprise Creative Alaskas, and we invite you to join us.
You know, we are able to chit chat when the
(01:29):
mics are off, and we like to invite you to
join us. So it's always fun for you to kind
of pull up a chair hang out with us. And
I saw such a fascinating story that in the Bay Area,
a sixteen year old her name is Maya marriage of Berkeley,
and she just swam twenty seven miles off the New
(01:50):
Zealand coast. It took her fourteen hours. She was not
wearing a wetsuit, and she was being stung by jelly
fish the whole time. She was like, oh, this kind
of hurts. But she kept going and raised thirty three
thousand dollars for UC Benioff Children's Hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Wow, that's amazing. What sparked this.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
She has apparently been doing this since she's a kid,
raising money through her swimming. And she made it home
in time to go to her prom in Berkeley. And
I was looking at that story and I was thinking
to myself, Wow, she just swam fourteen hours. Twenty seven
miles raised thirty three thousand dollars for UC Benioff Children's Hospital,
(02:40):
and it had me reflecting on all of the record
breaking activities that I was doing when I was sixteen,
and I thought that would be a fun topic for
us to all talk about the record breaking activities that
we were doing when we were sixteen. So who wants
to go first, Karina of Alaskaz, Why don't you?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Well, yeah, sixteen, I mean I totally swam like thirty
thousand miles and I'm just kidding, you're gonna find me
and no lake.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
At sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I don't think it was a lake. I just want
to say, oh yeah, I mean it was ocean.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah. That's crazy to be stung by a bunch of jellyfish.
I know that hurts.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Have you been stung by a jellyfish?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Actually?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I had when I was two years old, and you
remember that barely, but I remember having to run out
and my mom didn't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So Tami, you know, they say like you're fluid, you're urine.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
They had to do that to me because I was
two years old. And then after that they rushed me
to the hospital. But the doctor said, I'll be fine,
and here I am.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Somebody look that up. Is that an old wives tale
or is that a true thing? I too was stung
by a jellyfish on the island of Cudding Hunk when
I was young. But I don't believe anybody expelled fluid
onto Christie jellyfish.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'll get that close to the water, not gonna happen,
So it pays off.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So Karna, when you were sixteen, tell us about Karna
sixteen year old Karina.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Sixteen year old's old Karina?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I would I was at Hogan High School in Valleo
seven oh seven, which is now in middle school.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I was in band. I was in a flute chair.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Second flute and also doing let's see choir, drum line
and show choir at the time, and I believe I
was getting ready to perform the Princess and well it
was called once upon a Time a mattress, The Princess
and the Peace, Once upon a mattresstre Have.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You guys know that story about the princess and the.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
P Yeah, and then they slept on the p Well,
she has to like feel if there's a p under
her pill on all these mattresses.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And there's like twenty mattresses.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yes, so I was the princess in my high school musical.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh, let's stop everything, because there's a lot of great
songs in that show. So if we might hear a
little bit of the Princess and the Pee right now,
I'm doing Forarena Alaska. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I just remember I swam the moat in and I
don't remember. I don't remember a lot of the songs.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It was so long.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
How about from show choir?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh, show choir. Oh, that's where I learned.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's what friends off.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For good times, okay and bad times. I'll be on
the side sad forever. Yep. Yeah, So sixteen, I was
in high school.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And what was the song that was the best selling
song of the year when you were sixteen? To orient
us as to what time frame we're talking about.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
All right, so that was roughly around nineteen ninety seven,
get out there when I was sixteen, I believe.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Wow, I was.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I was eighteen and nineteen ninety seven. I don't know
why I reacted that one. That was great, that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I believe that's nineteen ninety seven. But the number one
song was Candle in the Wind by Elton John.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh it must have been a So that must have
been around when Princess die passed away.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So we're reading about that in the paper, do you
Oh yeah, yeah, I actually.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, a big deal when Princess Diana.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh yeah, No, I spaced out. I'm sorry. I was thinking.
I was thinking. My mind transitioned to that that's the
year you were born. So I was just making a joke.
It didn't make any sense. Let me just have a
sip of coffee. I'll be right back. I'll re join
you in a moment. Let me restart. Let me restart
my computer. I'm gonna unplug, I'm gonna plug back in.
I'm going to restart. I'll be with you.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Good to remember sixteen. That was a long time ago.
But Martha Quinn, do you remember at sixteen what you
were doing?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You know, I was a sophomore in Austining High School
nineteen seventy five. I was sixteen.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, we'll just be honest, may as well, just what
the heck?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Sophomore is kind of a lost year for me. I
don't remember much. I wasn't vice president of my senior
class yet. That no Actually I was president in my
junior class, vice president in my senior class, and I
have such a guilty conscience because I'm the most absentee
class officer ever on the planet.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
So bad?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Please don't even make me go into this.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You know there have been many class reunions and usually.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The class officers put it together. Okay, put it together.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And your friend Martha Quinn here has been so awall. Wow,
I feel bad.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
How do you become a class president?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I guess did I put up signs? Did I campaign?
I don't remember. I do not remember. I just know
that all of a sudden I was class president. And
then I was debating should I run for class president
for senior year, and our class advisor, Merla Morrison, I'm
forever dead in debt it to her. She said, Martha,
don't run for president because you'll always have to do
(08:03):
the class reunions. And I was like, oh, wow, so
I was the vice president. Shout out Reggie Miller, who
was the president. Cloudye Messudo was one of the class officers.
And that's around a good look at who was there.
But at any rate, the number one song of nineteen
(08:24):
seventy five was love will keep us together. I said
it before and I'll say it again at a dut
da and da.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
So stop, all right.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Girls, you were supposed to pick it up. That was
Captain and Tania.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Yeah, there after the stop, wait, after the stop, there's
a pickup?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Says You're thing? Are you thinking of bab bah bah whatever?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Never?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know, I know, no, that's not it, but you
saying that, and then it just went out of my head.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh something good, that's it? Oh what ye.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Done by?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
You just said, yes, you did?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Just give I say, okay, ring.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Does anybody want to know how I slept last night?
Because I can tell you just to them, just so
you have some compassion for me. A lot of restfulness.
Last night I've been hearing about these these rings. I
love mine. I check it first thing in the morning,
I go, oh, how did I sleep? And uh, you know,
sometimes it's pretty good. Last night it was not so good.
(09:50):
Like I was awake a lot, and I was thinking
of random things like what Mariah carries two kids' names?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I know it's rock and.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Row, rock and Row, and I finally came up with Morocco.
But I don't know the other one. What's the other one?
Monroe like Mari Rocco and oh got it? Okay, Yeah,
So that's the kind of thing that kept me awake.
And then I was thinking, what was Christie like when
she was sixteen? And I couldn't sleep? It kept me awake.
So now I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I was very out going, had a lot of energy, shocking.
I know, dinosaurs, I don't know, you know, I was
a flag wasn't.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Even dinosaurs on the earth when I was ready? Yeah, dinosaurs?
You were a flag girl?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, I was definitely in band like Roland, I was
a flag girl.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I was also a mascot, so doing that in
school and then drama, so I did a lot of
theater programs.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You can't just say you were a mascot and leave
it at that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You got to say, I know, I wanted to ask
so bad. What was it a bear? A Teddy bear?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
An American eagle?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So I went to American High School in Fremont, and
it was an American Eagle. And I used to roll
out there at the football games when I wasn't doing
flag and then we would Yeah, I would be the mascot.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Were you in an American eagle outfit?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh? Yeah, full on costume and then you have an
escort with you, so like the kids from the other
high school and beat you up.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You get you get her American eagle reference? Right the
cloth American eagle.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
No, I didn't get that. I don't think that's what
she was going with that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Were you an American eagle?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Exactly? An American eagle costume?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Right?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
You met?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I meant the costume.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
She meant the costume.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's okay, rewind the tape. I swear I said, you did,
Martha an American eagle outfit?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You said American eagle outfit. I thought she meant the No,
she meant the costume. Oh yes, I thought you meant
like America.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Was she decked out and from head to toe in
American eagle apparel?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
No, I thought, no, she meant the costume. That was
in the context of the conversation, Martha, I'm follow at.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
My high school, I was the mascot and it was
Abercrombie and Fitch. There you go, so okay, yeah, so
you had to be led around by someone else. Could
you see out of the costume?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yes, you can definitely see all the mascots can see
you're not supposed And did you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Ever have any kind of interactions with the mascot of
other high schools? Like we did not have mascots at no,
tell me nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You just you know, kind of play like oh yeah,
you know, you just play on the field. I mean,
you're not trying to like, you know, tear their head
off or anything crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But you did say you have people walking around with
you in case. Okay, so get into that.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You just have an mascot escort. All mascots do whenever
you see a mascot walking around.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But Christy, you specifically said, so kids from the other
high school don't beat you up.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that's what it likes.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
If you go to a theme park and they have
these characters that come out and they always have somebody
with them.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So people don't mess with the mascots, you know, because
people think, oh, it's a mascot, it might be funny
to like rip their head off and run down the
street with it, or you know, mess with them, especially
if it's a rival team or a school or something.
You know, it'd be funny to do whatever to the mascot,
but it's a real person inside the mascot, so maybe
(13:20):
not so funny. Yeah, and so that's why you have
somebody with you. And then also, you know it is
you can see, but you don't want to run into stuff,
and if you're dancing, and you know, if you need
someone to hold something or yeah, so it's always nice
to have a handler, and you do.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
And that's basically what I was doing when I was sixteen.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What I can remember, I don't remember a whole heck
of a lot from you know, back in the day.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Who taught you to drive?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Christy, my friend Eli, not your mom.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
No, I had a driver's ed course and my friend
Eli taught me how to drive a stick shift, but
I took a course. Yeah, I don't think I ever
drove with my mom before I got a car, my
own car.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Nope, Karina, who taught you to drive?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
My dad tried for two times and then he couldn't
do it. And then my friend Sola that taught me
how to drive, and she taught me how to drive
a stick Yeah, because my first car was a stick
So it was either learn how to drive it or
you don't have a car. So I learned how to
drive it, but my friend sold her that. And then also, Christy,
I had to take drivers training drivers. Yeah, and then
(14:24):
you have to do driving school because I was what
fifteen and a half when on sixteen?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, so yeah, I learned from the professionals.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yep, Christy. Do you remember the song that was number one?
No when you were sixteen?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
But on Ben Didney was a big song by my
voice to men, So I think that was m Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, I sure wish I could see Christy as the
American Eagle at American High School on the football field,
going back and forth between being the flag girl and
the eagle. I would love to see that quick change.
Did you have to run out not the same behind
the bleachers and quickly changed?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No, it was not at the same time. So I
was either doing flag or I was the Eagle. I
was able to do both.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Did you drop down and get your ego on?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Stop It? That's a song Martha Quinny Nelly?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Okay, yeah, I didn't get that. Well, I was not
doing anything like that. I was not a mascot. I
was not a flag girl. I guess I was in
the chorus, but I don't want to think it required.
So you're doing sophomore when I was sixteen.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, but you were saying you were class president when.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I was a junior. I was saying, my sophomore year
is my last year. It was before I was I was.
I don't know what I was doing. I guarantee I
was wearing either a haltertop or a peasant blouse and
probably bell bottoms. And that's all I remember. Maybe a
you know, peasant skirt. That's all. That's all I can
tell you for sure about when your friend Martha was sixteen.
(15:59):
I know I was kicking around austening somewhere, but in
your well, that was fun. Love will keep us together.
That's what we've learned. Appreciating us sharing your memories and
giving us a fuller picture of who you ladies are.
That's what this podcast is all about. And thank you
for joining us as we've all gotten to know one
another a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
All Right, Well, I'm gonna get a whole bunch of
sleep before next week's podcast. Oh yeah, you were asking
me about the oor ring. Let me just say before
we leave, I love it. It gives you all kinds
of biofeedback, like how you sleep, how much stress you
have during the day, how much activity you've gotten during
the day, your heart rate, your cardiovascular age. I do
(16:44):
love it them all about it.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Is it a ring that connects to an app I'm
guessing yes, Okay, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So that's the only unfortunate part is because I think
it's probably EMF frequencies and I don't know how we
feel about those, like maybe that's no good for you.
I don't know, but is it unbelieving?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Funny, Oh that was nice. Thanks, thank you guys for
getting that.
Speaker 3 (17:08):

little bit of the Princess and the Pee right now,
I'm doing Forarena Alaska. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I just remember I swam the moat in and I
don't remember. I don't remember a lot of the songs.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It was so long.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
How about from show choir?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh, show choir. Oh, that's where I learned.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's what friends off.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For good times, okay and bad times. I'll be on
the side sad forever. Yep. Yeah, So sixteen, I was
in high school.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And what was the song that was the best selling
song of the year when you were sixteen? To orient
us as to what time frame we're talking about.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
All right, so that was roughly around nineteen ninety seven,
get out there when I was sixteen, I believe.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Wow, I was.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I was eighteen and nineteen ninety seven. I don't know
why I reacted that one. That was great, that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I believe that's nineteen ninety seven. But the number one
song was Candle in the Wind by Elton John.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh it must have been a So that must have
been around when Princess die passed away.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So we're reading about that in the paper, do you
Oh yeah, yeah, I actually.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, a big deal when Princess Diana.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh yeah, No, I spaced out. I'm sorry. I was thinking.
I was thinking. My mind transitioned to that that's the
year you were born. So I was just making a joke.
It didn't make any sense. Let me just have a
sip of coffee. I'll be right back. I'll re join
you in a moment. Let me restart. Let me restart
my computer. I'm gonna unplug, I'm gonna plug back in.
I'm going to restart. I'll be with you.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Good to remember sixteen. That was a long time ago.
But Martha Quinn, do you remember at sixteen what you
were doing?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You know, I was a sophomore in Austining High School
nineteen seventy five. I was sixteen.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, we'll just be honest, may as well, just what
the heck?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Sophomore is kind of a lost year for me. I
don't remember much. I wasn't vice president of my senior
class yet. That no Actually I was president in my
junior class, vice president in my senior class, and I
have such a guilty conscience because I'm the most absentee
class officer ever on the planet.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
So bad?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Please don't even make me go into this.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You know there have been many class reunions and usually.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The class officers put it together. Okay, put it together.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And your friend Martha Quinn here has been so awall. Wow,
I feel bad.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
How do you become a class president?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I guess did I put up signs? Did I campaign?
I don't remember. I do not remember. I just know
that all of a sudden I was class president. And
then I was debating should I run for class president
for senior year, and our class advisor, Merla Morrison, I'm
forever dead in debt it to her. She said, Martha,
don't run for president because you'll always have to do
(08:03):
the class reunions. And I was like, oh, wow, so
I was the vice president. Shout out Reggie Miller, who
was the president. Cloudye Messudo was one of the class officers.
And that's around a good look at who was there.
But at any rate, the number one song of nineteen
(08:24):
seventy five was love will keep us together. I said
it before and I'll say it again at a dut
da and da.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
So stop, all right.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Girls, you were supposed to pick it up. That was
Captain and Tania.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Yeah, there after the stop, wait, after the stop, there's
a pickup?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Says You're thing? Are you thinking of bab bah bah whatever?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Never?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know, I know, no, that's not it, but you
saying that, and then it just went out of my head.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh something good, that's it? Oh what ye.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Done by?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
You just said, yes, you did?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Just give I say, okay, ring.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Does anybody want to know how I slept last night?
Because I can tell you just to them, just so
you have some compassion for me. A lot of restfulness.
Last night I've been hearing about these these rings. I
love mine. I check it first thing in the morning,
I go, oh, how did I sleep? And uh, you know,
sometimes it's pretty good. Last night it was not so good.
(09:50):
Like I was awake a lot, and I was thinking
of random things like what Mariah carries two kids' names?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I know it's rock and.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Row, rock and Row, and I finally came up with Morocco.
But I don't know the other one. What's the other one?
Monroe like Mari Rocco and oh got it? Okay, Yeah,
So that's the kind of thing that kept me awake.
And then I was thinking, what was Christie like when
she was sixteen? And I couldn't sleep? It kept me awake.
So now I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I was very out going, had a lot of energy, shocking.
I know, dinosaurs, I don't know, you know, I was
a flag wasn't.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Even dinosaurs on the earth when I was ready? Yeah, dinosaurs?
You were a flag girl?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, I was definitely in band like Roland, I was
a flag girl.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I was also a mascot, so doing that in
school and then drama, so I did a lot of
theater programs.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You can't just say you were a mascot and leave
it at that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You got to say, I know, I wanted to ask
so bad. What was it a bear? A Teddy bear?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
An American eagle?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So I went to American High School in Fremont, and
it was an American Eagle. And I used to roll
out there at the football games when I wasn't doing
flag and then we would Yeah, I would be the mascot.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Were you in an American eagle outfit?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh? Yeah, full on costume and then you have an
escort with you, so like the kids from the other
high school and beat you up.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You get you get her American eagle reference? Right the
cloth American eagle.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
No, I didn't get that. I don't think that's what
she was going with that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Were you an American eagle?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Exactly? An American eagle costume?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Right?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
You met?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I meant the costume.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
She meant the costume.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's okay, rewind the tape. I swear I said, you did,
Martha an American eagle outfit?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You said American eagle outfit. I thought she meant the No,
she meant the costume. Oh yes, I thought you meant
like America.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Was she decked out and from head to toe in
American eagle apparel?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
No, I thought, no, she meant the costume. That was
in the context of the conversation, Martha, I'm follow at.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
My high school, I was the mascot and it was
Abercrombie and Fitch. There you go, so okay, yeah, so
you had to be led around by someone else. Could
you see out of the costume?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yes, you can definitely see all the mascots can see
you're not supposed And did you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Ever have any kind of interactions with the mascot of
other high schools? Like we did not have mascots at no,
tell me nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You just you know, kind of play like oh yeah,
you know, you just play on the field. I mean,
you're not trying to like, you know, tear their head
off or anything crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But you did say you have people walking around with
you in case. Okay, so get into that.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You just have an mascot escort. All mascots do whenever
you see a mascot walking around.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But Christy, you specifically said, so kids from the other
high school don't beat you up.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that's what it likes.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
If you go to a theme park and they have
these characters that come out and they always have somebody
with them.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So people don't mess with the mascots, you know, because
people think, oh, it's a mascot, it might be funny
to like rip their head off and run down the
street with it, or you know, mess with them, especially
if it's a rival team or a school or something.
You know, it'd be funny to do whatever to the mascot,
but it's a real person inside the mascot, so maybe
(13:20):
not so funny. Yeah, and so that's why you have
somebody with you. And then also, you know it is
you can see, but you don't want to run into stuff,
and if you're dancing, and you know, if you need
someone to hold something or yeah, so it's always nice
to have a handler, and you do.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
And that's basically what I was doing when I was sixteen.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What I can remember, I don't remember a whole heck
of a lot from you know, back in the day.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Who taught you to drive?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Christy, my friend Eli, not your mom.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
No, I had a driver's ed course and my friend
Eli taught me how to drive a stick shift, but
I took a course. Yeah, I don't think I ever
drove with my mom before I got a car, my
own car.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Nope, Karina, who taught you to drive?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
My dad tried for two times and then he couldn't
do it. And then my friend Sola that taught me
how to drive, and she taught me how to drive
a stick Yeah, because my first car was a stick
So it was either learn how to drive it or
you don't have a car. So I learned how to
drive it, but my friend sold her that. And then also, Christy,
I had to take drivers training drivers. Yeah, and then
(14:24):
you have to do driving school because I was what
fifteen and a half when on sixteen?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, so yeah, I learned from the professionals.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yep, Christy. Do you remember the song that was number one?
No when you were sixteen?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
But on Ben Didney was a big song by my
voice to men, So I think that was m Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, I sure wish I could see Christy as the
American Eagle at American High School on the football field,
going back and forth between being the flag girl and
the eagle. I would love to see that quick change.
Did you have to run out not the same behind
the bleachers and quickly changed?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No, it was not at the same time. So I
was either doing flag or I was the Eagle. I
was able to do both.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Did you drop down and get your ego on?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Stop It? That's a song Martha Quinny Nelly?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Okay, yeah, I didn't get that. Well, I was not
doing anything like that. I was not a mascot. I
was not a flag girl. I guess I was in
the chorus, but I don't want to think it required.
So you're doing sophomore when I was sixteen.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, but you were saying you were class president when.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I was a junior. I was saying, my sophomore year
is my last year. It was before I was I was.
I don't know what I was doing. I guarantee I
was wearing either a haltertop or a peasant blouse and
probably bell bottoms. And that's all I remember. Maybe a
you know, peasant skirt. That's all. That's all I can
tell you for sure about when your friend Martha was sixteen.
(15:59):
I know I was kicking around austening somewhere, but in
your well, that was fun. Love will keep us together.
That's what we've learned. Appreciating us sharing your memories and
giving us a fuller picture of who you ladies are.
That's what this podcast is all about. And thank you
for joining us as we've all gotten to know one
another a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
All Right, Well, I'm gonna get a whole bunch of
sleep before next week's podcast. Oh yeah, you were asking
me about the oor ring. Let me just say before
we leave, I love it. It gives you all kinds
of biofeedback, like how you sleep, how much stress you
have during the day, how much activity you've gotten during
the day, your heart rate, your cardiovascular age. I do
(16:44):
love it them all about it.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Is it a ring that connects to an app I'm
guessing yes, Okay, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So that's the only unfortunate part is because I think
it's probably EMF frequencies and I don't know how we
feel about those, like maybe that's no good for you.
I don't know, but is it unbelieving?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yah?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Funny, Oh that was nice. Thanks, thank you guys for
getting that.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I think this is where we've got it because that
was a high note until next week, which will be
episode two d and thirty seven of Talk Talk with
Marth Quinn. I'm Martha Quinn, I'm Christy, I'm Green of Alaska.
Miss You're ready.
