seven hundred and two.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Two hundred and sixteen, to be exact, or.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That welcome of our podcast. You know, they say, the
amount of words that a particular language or culture has
for something determines its importance in that culture. So some
cultures don't have words for like jealousy or envy, but
(01:20):
in the American culture. We have a million words for
money and slang words for money, and so whenever I
do that, I always think about that.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
That is all interesting, fascinating.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Thank you for Thank you for that. That's interesting fact,
Christy James, and please welcome our host of the show,
Martha Quinn.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Thank you, thank you. This week, I'm just sitting in
the I'm in awe chair right now. So, yeah, this
is episode I've given up Christy. I'm with you, like
I just turned to Karna. I can never you know,
figure out what episode it is. We've done a lot
in every week that you join us is awesome. It
is called Talk Talk with Martha Quinn and it is
(02:04):
the show that unites the Morning Drive with Christy Live Crewe,
Christy and Karina of Alaskas and the Marth Quinn Show crew,
which is me and Karina of Alaska's, which I always enjoy.
I always enjoy pointing that out every week. So, Karina,
you came up with this week's podcast topic and I
(02:24):
liked it. Can you lay it out please?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yes? So the question is because I saw this online,
I was like, ooh, made me think if you could
go back to the eighties with one thousand dollars, which
back then is a lot of money. What would you
buy now?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's a lot of money. I think if you went
up to Jeff Bezos right now and said, hey, Jeff,
no strings attached, nothing, can I give you this thousand bucks,
He'd be like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Why Yeah, it's still a lot of money. You can
still buy a lot with one thousand dollars. But if
you could go back to the eighties with one thousand dollars,
what would you buy. Let's start with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Okay, Well, being that you did tell me this earlier,
I have been thinking about it, and I have I
knew exactly right away what I would do. I would go.
I would go back in time and every concert that
I was ever at, I would get a concert T shirt,
maybe even two, one to wear around and one to
(03:23):
squirrel away. I am so mad when I think of
all of the concert T shirts I had from back
in the day, Judas Priest, Journey, Pat Benatar, Van Halen, Genesis, Prince,
Earthwind and Fire. What other shows? What other shows have
(03:44):
I seen?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Just you know, Martha, did you have a live a shirt?
By chance?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I did, and I still have it. Somewhere, unless my
daughter lost it, I may not be saying the right thing,
So annabout Well, if you're listening and you didn't, I'm
so sorry because I'm the queen of saying something that's
you know, maybe not accurate.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But unless it was borrowed, let's just say, unless it
was narrow yeah, just kind of misplaced somewhere.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Oh, I know, I know it was.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It was.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
It wasn an MTV item, but it wasn't a Live
Aid T shirt. I have a Live Aid T shirt,
but I wish I had more. I wish I had
my og MTV T shirts. But those old, original vintage
T shirts they're worth a lot of money. And you
know what else I wish I did at every concert
that I was ever, at the Kinks, whoever, I wish
(04:38):
I walked up to people and said, hey, are you
going to keep that ticket stub? You know, because we
would just throw ticket stubs away willy nilly. Tickets stubs
aren't expensive, Like I was trying to find a ticket
stub from the nineteen eighty three US festival with the
Police Owen Go Boanco, Madness, The Thompson Twins, The Fix.
Did I say the Fix? But at any rate. You
(04:59):
can't even find it, Like those ticket stubs go for money.
So those are the two things that I would collect.
I would buy concert t shirts, one to wear, one
to scroll away for now to sell on eBay. And
I would collect ticket stumps.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's great, that's really really good. Yeah, concert t shirts.
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Christy.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What about you? If you could go back to the
eighties with a thousand dollars, what would you buy?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I would buy an Apple one computer and a hell
of a lot of toys because they're all worth so
much money now. So like ah eighties toys, and then
the original Apple one computer I think it sold for
like six hundred dollars when you know they first released
the very first big kind of Apple computer. And now
(05:45):
in auction, if you have one of those original ones,
they're going for three hundred thousand, six hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And then toys, even simple toys like the complete set
of he Man characters like when they all came out,
or Gransformers or Gigos, and just keep those like in
their original packaging.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
A lot of toys just because they're so cheap, but
there worth so much money.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Now, a friend of mine for his kid would always
buy two Lego sets, one for them to play with
and one that went into the closet. And I'm not kidding.
He had like an entire closet full of Legos. I'd
so curious to know if he still has them.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean legos even now. People. I hate to bring
negative news, but people now are stealing Legos from stores
because it's still a very hot commodity. And I didn't
realize that they can make heck of money off Legos.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, if you have certain sets, their collector's items. People
love Legos.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Martha, don't you have some sets, some Lego sets.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I do. Actually, our friend Renee gave me two. She
gifted me too awesome ones. One is a red and
white Fender guitar and the other one is a Nintendo set. Now,
those two I haven't opened. We've thought about it. Do
we open them and build them? Like last holiday season,
(07:17):
we got a little Lego hotel or something like that,
a village hotel, and as a family, we built it
and it's really fun. And then we put it on
our turntable and we built that city on rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh, that's so cute.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
So no, I've just made that I made up.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But I should do that.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I should put that little hotel on my turntable with
like a kiss record underneath it and say, we built
this city on rock and roll. Yeah. So we haven't
taken those out yet. We're debating. That's one. We're like
because they're so beautiful, like that Nintendo set is so beautiful, Martha.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Have you by chance googled or looked on eBay to
see how much they're worth?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I haven't, but my son when he kind of grew
out of Legos, we gave a whole bunch away like
the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon and all of these,
you know, really big Star Wars Lego sets. And now
we're like, why did we do that? Even though they
(08:19):
were built? I don't know what the how the value?
What do you think, Christy? If a Lego is built,
how do you think that affects its value?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm sure it loses its value if you open the package,
but I also think it is still valuable because what
if you have a Millennium Falcon set and you lost
the little seat and you need.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That little seat to finish that, to finish your kit.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So I think there's always value to it, especially if
someone collects something. You know, one man's trash is another
man's treasure. But I think people get tired of a
lot of things. My mom had all of these classic
Ebony magazines from the seventies when they were like really big,
massive magazines. They were like they looked like they were
twelve by eight or something. There were large magazines. And
(09:06):
I was like, Mom, throw these away, throw them away.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
She had them forever. I'm just like, throw them away.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And now I'm like, oh, I wish she had all
these classic Ebony magazines from the seventies. I went to
the Black Joy Festival a few months ago and someone
had a whole table and they were selling them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
For lots of money.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yea, you know, they were selling all these classic magazines.
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I was just thinking, Oh, my mom had so many.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Day you know, away have been good to have. Two
is the original Bay Area music magazines.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So I think it's hard to keep holding on to
things because I know you just want to clean it
out and you're just like, I'm never going to use this.
But I would definitely go back and get toys in
that Apple computer and then sell it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now. I just looked up one of the most valuable
legos just because I was curious the Star Wars. It's
always Star Wars Cloud City that was released in two
thousand and three. Twelve grand. No.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, a lot of those toys are the original Transformers
toy from the eighties. There's this truck and it's twelve
thousand dollars, but I'm sure when it was released it
was probably maybe eight or nine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Now that Star Wars Cloud City sold for one hundred
dollars when it first came out, and now it's worth
twelve grand.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
No.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, right, Well, Karina Alaska, is how about you if
you went back to the eighties with the thousand bucks,
what would you pick up.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Let's see, I'm kind of in the same boat as Christy,
except I would spend money on video games and video
game consoles, Nintendo Atari, all that is worth a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Actually had a guy recently at a garage sale. We
were having a garage sale and he was like, oh,
do you have any Super Nintendo's and he was telling
me how much they're worth a lot of They're worth
a lot of money. I'm like, then, why am I
going to sell you a Super Nintendo, because I still
do have a Super Nintendo with a bunch of they're
out of their packages. But he's like, yeah, these are
all worth than collectibles. So I'd buy Super Nintendos all
(11:06):
the games, and then I would invest in some Nikes,
some like Classic Air. Jordan's whoes are expensive too, Yeah,
because shoes are pricey. I mean they're still pricey, but
you see how valuable shoes are now. Maybe some Apple
stock they might out of My Money's like a lot
of money you're out.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
If you could buy one share of stock or I
don't know, ten dollars worth of stock in a company,
but you're in the eighties, what would you buy ten
dollars worth of Christy?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Probably Apple, Apple or Yahoo. I don't know if Yaho
is a rooo.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Coming out of the field there with Yahoo.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Interesting, Martha Quinn, what stock are you buying?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I might buy Whole Foods if it was public at
some point in the eighties. It might not have been
public in the eighties, but I'm an og Whole Foods shopper,
and at some point they did go public, and I
wish more than anything I had bought stock, just just
judging by the fact that I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, and it's still a round good store. Yeah. They
say when you're buying stock, that's what you should do.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Look for the things that you actually buy, the things
that you would actually invest in, the things that you
actually use.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And like, don Julio, why go Beer Grey Goose?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I wonder, like, are any of those companies public? Like
what if you had bought stock in Anheuser Busch or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I believe those those companies are public already.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, so they distribute, you know, you you would invest
in the distributor or you know, not just necessarily the
alcohol brand, but the overall umbrella.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah. I just looked up if you bought Microsoft stock
with that thousand dollars, That's what I was thinking Microsoft
in nineteen eighty six, because that was a big thing,
right was Microsoft before Apple? Today it would be worth
three point five million if you invested that whole thousand dollars.
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Damn? I'm so.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm so not right.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I know, Well, you can't go back, you can only
make peace and move forwards. Yeah, we're buying toys this
weekend and computers and video games.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Like, go, is there anyone?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
See, Like no, we wouldn't do it now, but you think, okay,
now is the time to do it if you're gonna
look forward.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Okay, let me ask you this, and Christy, I'll ask
you because you are good at you know, up and
coming trends. You know, you are the first person I
ever heard really talk about bitcoin. What's the next Apple?
What's the next Microsoft?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I think whatever people are using to generate AI products.
So I don't know, but I'm still here on bitcoin.
I think Bitcoin's gonna keep going up because I really
do think cryptocurrency is going to eventually come around and
be a major player when it comes to money.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, I hope you're right because you got us into it.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You know, Karina, what do you think is the Apple
slash Microsoft of today?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know anything that involves AI, like in video.
The people that create the joh yeah, that's that help
create AI, if that's how I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
The software for AI.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So anything AI related.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I wonder if you could ask let's go to Twitter
and pull up Grock.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Well you could just ask your perplexity.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
A hot stock to invest in Today in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
What about you? If you could go back to the

But I should do that.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I should put that little hotel on my turntable with
like a kiss record underneath it and say, we built
this city on rock and roll. Yeah. So we haven't
taken those out yet. We're debating. That's one. We're like
because they're so beautiful, like that Nintendo set is so beautiful, Martha.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Have you by chance googled or looked on eBay to
see how much they're worth?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I haven't, but my son when he kind of grew
out of Legos, we gave a whole bunch away like
the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon and all of these,
you know, really big Star Wars Lego sets. And now
we're like, why did we do that? Even though they
(08:19):
were built? I don't know what the how the value?
What do you think, Christy? If a Lego is built,
how do you think that affects its value?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm sure it loses its value if you open the package,
but I also think it is still valuable because what
if you have a Millennium Falcon set and you lost
the little seat and you need.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That little seat to finish that, to finish your kit.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So I think there's always value to it, especially if
someone collects something. You know, one man's trash is another
man's treasure. But I think people get tired of a
lot of things. My mom had all of these classic
Ebony magazines from the seventies when they were like really big,
massive magazines. They were like they looked like they were
twelve by eight or something. There were large magazines. And
(09:06):
I was like, Mom, throw these away, throw them away.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
She had them forever. I'm just like, throw them away.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And now I'm like, oh, I wish she had all
these classic Ebony magazines from the seventies. I went to
the Black Joy Festival a few months ago and someone
had a whole table and they were selling them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
For lots of money.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yea, you know, they were selling all these classic magazines.
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I was just thinking, Oh, my mom had so many.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Day you know, away have been good to have. Two
is the original Bay Area music magazines.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So I think it's hard to keep holding on to
things because I know you just want to clean it
out and you're just like, I'm never going to use this.
But I would definitely go back and get toys in
that Apple computer and then sell it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now. I just looked up one of the most valuable
legos just because I was curious the Star Wars. It's
always Star Wars Cloud City that was released in two
thousand and three. Twelve grand. No.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, a lot of those toys are the original Transformers
toy from the eighties. There's this truck and it's twelve
thousand dollars, but I'm sure when it was released it
was probably maybe eight or nine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Now that Star Wars Cloud City sold for one hundred
dollars when it first came out, and now it's worth
twelve grand.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
No.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, right, Well, Karina Alaska, is how about you if
you went back to the eighties with the thousand bucks,
what would you pick up.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Let's see, I'm kind of in the same boat as Christy,
except I would spend money on video games and video
game consoles, Nintendo Atari, all that is worth a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Actually had a guy recently at a garage sale. We
were having a garage sale and he was like, oh,
do you have any Super Nintendo's and he was telling
me how much they're worth a lot of They're worth
a lot of money. I'm like, then, why am I
going to sell you a Super Nintendo, because I still
do have a Super Nintendo with a bunch of they're
out of their packages. But he's like, yeah, these are
all worth than collectibles. So I'd buy Super Nintendos all
(11:06):
the games, and then I would invest in some Nikes,
some like Classic Air. Jordan's whoes are expensive too, Yeah,
because shoes are pricey. I mean they're still pricey, but
you see how valuable shoes are now. Maybe some Apple
stock they might out of My Money's like a lot
of money you're out.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
If you could buy one share of stock or I
don't know, ten dollars worth of stock in a company,
but you're in the eighties, what would you buy ten
dollars worth of Christy?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Probably Apple, Apple or Yahoo. I don't know if Yaho
is a rooo.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Coming out of the field there with Yahoo.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Interesting, Martha Quinn, what stock are you buying?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I might buy Whole Foods if it was public at
some point in the eighties. It might not have been
public in the eighties, but I'm an og Whole Foods shopper,
and at some point they did go public, and I
wish more than anything I had bought stock, just just
judging by the fact that I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, and it's still a round good store. Yeah. They
say when you're buying stock, that's what you should do.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Look for the things that you actually buy, the things
that you would actually invest in, the things that you
actually use.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And like, don Julio, why go Beer Grey Goose?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I wonder, like, are any of those companies public? Like
what if you had bought stock in Anheuser Busch or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I believe those those companies are public already.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, so they distribute, you know, you you would invest
in the distributor or you know, not just necessarily the
alcohol brand, but the overall umbrella.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah. I just looked up if you bought Microsoft stock
with that thousand dollars, That's what I was thinking Microsoft
in nineteen eighty six, because that was a big thing,
right was Microsoft before Apple? Today it would be worth
three point five million if you invested that whole thousand dollars.
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Damn? I'm so.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm so not right.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I know, Well, you can't go back, you can only
make peace and move forwards. Yeah, we're buying toys this
weekend and computers and video games.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Like, go, is there anyone?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
See, Like no, we wouldn't do it now, but you think, okay,
now is the time to do it if you're gonna
look forward.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Okay, let me ask you this, and Christy, I'll ask
you because you are good at you know, up and
coming trends. You know, you are the first person I
ever heard really talk about bitcoin. What's the next Apple?
What's the next Microsoft?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I think whatever people are using to generate AI products.
So I don't know, but I'm still here on bitcoin.
I think Bitcoin's gonna keep going up because I really
do think cryptocurrency is going to eventually come around and
be a major player when it comes to money.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, I hope you're right because you got us into it.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You know, Karina, what do you think is the Apple
slash Microsoft of today?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know anything that involves AI, like in video.
The people that create the joh yeah, that's that help
create AI, if that's how I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
The software for AI.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So anything AI related.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I wonder if you could ask let's go to Twitter
and pull up Grock.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Well you could just ask your perplexity.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
A hot stock to invest in Today in twenty twenty four.
