Speaker 4 (00:17):
Okay, thanks right, every little thing, every little thing. I
personally love that song. And if you play that song
by Bob Marley on I believe it's on Legend, which
is still on the charts today, I believe it will
pick you up. You cannot help but be picked up
by that song.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It is so good.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yes, well, it's funny that you would use that song

free I Hurt Radio app and in San Francisco doing
the morning show Morning Drive with Christy Live, which is
the best morning show forget the Bay Area, anywhere it's
the best. Then Krina and I work together on the
Marth Quinn Show from ten to three. Heard also on
(01:23):
the radio, I heard rail Is it called the iHeart
Radio app and elsewhere. So Karina knows this story, Christy,
which is why I believe she started with that song.
Do you remember, Christy, when you and I went to
the It was the Ihurt Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
(01:46):
And this was way before anybody had find my Friends
or anything like that on their phones. So Christy and
I were going to Las Vegas. I arrived in Las
Vegas and got to chatting with the guy who picked
me up, and then he started playing me his demo tape,
and so you know, I got all involved in that.
(02:08):
And the second I got into the arena, all of
a sudden, it was like Billy Idol was ready to
talk right now. So we're like, Christy and I are
like running, running to interview Billy Idol. We did that,
and then afterwards my phone rang and it was my
husband Jordan, totally going bonkers because I had not let
him know that I had landed and I was safe.
(02:30):
Now listen, I get it. I think just like the
week before, I had yelled at one of my kids
for doing the same thing. So okay, so you remember that, Christie, right.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I will never forget it. I will never forget that
phone call. I remember the look on your face. I
remember the phone call. I remember standing there, I remember
the hallway. There's certain things in life you remember.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And I remember that man was in the principal's office.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I mean, oh yes, yes, oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And you know what, I really specifically remember him saying
what he said, you need to let me know where
you are.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
If I don't know, I can't protect you.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
And I remember that, and I was like, okay, now,
I like in that one like sentence, I was like, okay,
I know this family dynamic. I know how they roll,
I know how they look out for each other. Yeah,
and I know next time she better call him. And
I'm gonna remind her because she was like, no, man,
that's not cool. I didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I kept signaling to Christy like it's okay, Yeah, it's okay,
it's okay. I got this, okay, So Christy, gosh, yesterday
morning I was called to the principal's office. Boy was
I called to the principal's office. Okay, So we got
a brand new washing machine. Jordan installed it. We've done
(03:50):
a couple of loads, but then I was on my own.
I went to do my own laundry. He was in
another room. I opened the drawer where you're supposed to
put the laundry detergent. I see it's empty. I kind
of thought, should I call him? But I was like,
so obvious it's empty. I'll just put the detergent in.
It's not like hard to figure out. Yeah, So I
(04:12):
open it. I get the laundry detergent, you know, liquid
launch insurgent, poured in, no problem. Push the drawer back in.
I even knew. Okay, there was like a little clip
in the back you have to push to pull the
drawer out. I remember he told me that I did that,
got it back in, and then I was kind of
like kneeling down to sort of analyze the screen and
look at the settings because it was a new washing machine,
(04:34):
so I was just curious, you know, like, oh, okay,
here's where the extra rents is. And I look down
and there is a massive and growing puddle of blue
tied laundry detergent taking over the room and coming towards me.
(04:54):
It was the slime that would not stop, and I
was like, oh, what did I do? What did I do?
And so I got a towel and I started to
wipe it up, but it was thick and gooey and that,
you know, it was kept coming and I was like,
(05:14):
I'm going to have to suck it up and I'm
going to have to call Jordan. So I call and
I just got right to it. I said, Hi, I
did something wrong. I put the laundry deterchent in the
wrong place and now it's all over the floor. And
he goes, well, you'd have to wipe it up. I said, yes,
I am doing that, but it is really bad. I
think you need to come up. Well do you do
(05:36):
you need me right now? Do you need me right now?
I go yes, I need you to come up right now.
It's really bad. So he comes up and he sees
all the slime on the floor and I had already
been mopping it up for a good five minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And he goes, what did you do?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
This is our brand new washing machine. I said, I
just I put the detergent in the spot here and
he goes, didn't you notice there wasn't a door? And
I go, well, it just seemed like the obvious place
to put the detergent. You didn't look at the manual.
I didn't think I had to look at the manual.
At something new, I look at the manual. Well, I
didn't look at the manual because it was obvious. Here's
(06:13):
the spot, he goes, it's obviously not obvious because it's
all coming out of the bottom of the machine. And
it was going on like that, just like complete major
freak out spas out festival. And I was finally like, Okay,
there's nothing we could do about any of this. Now
it's done. Now He's like, I can't believe you, And
I was just like, you know, what can I do?
Because I did something wrong? But as I said to Karina,
(06:36):
so when you open the drawer, there is a really
large cavernous compartment that's empty. Yeah, it should say warning,
can ruin your machine if you pour anything in here. No,
there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
No, you didn't ruin the machine.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well we'll find out right when the next dight you
do you do laundry.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
We've done a couple of loads. Everything seen to be fine,
but it is weird that it all came out of
the bottom of the machine.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Where was it supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In the actual laundry deterged compartment.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That's stupid, Okay, Karina of Alaska's okay, don't get technical.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean that's what I would do.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You would You would assume it's the like drawer. That's
usually how they work.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
The drawer is divided up like on the left hand side. Yeah,
it is a giant channel, you know, a dry riverbed channel.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's it's supposed to be the soap, the prewa wash,
the bleach in one and then your fabrics oftener in another.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Right, but she.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Opened that whole selection of compartments is there, but the
selection of compartments with those little doors is to the right.
Oh of this cavernous. It's just like calling out to
you poor stuff here, stuff here. I'm sorry, but I
am not the only person who's made that machine, that mistake.
(07:57):
I haven't had the nerve to say any of this
yet that really they should have some kind of warning
for all. I know, you guys, there is a warning
on there, and I just wasn't paying attention. So I'm
taking a second for this, but it really should be
like warning warning, you know, do not use this.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, this is at least like a red sign that
says not for detergent. Yeah, that's it. And then question Martha,
what kind of washing machine is it? Do you know
it's a bosh.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Oh nice, that's expensive. Yeah, they make great dishwashers.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, now you know why he was freaking out because
everything was pouring on the floor. It was genuinely one
of those super scary moments where I'm like, it's almost
as bad as when I was pulling out of the
driveway and his Mustang and his pride and joy and
(08:52):
I heard yeah, I basically keyed the Mustang on the
corner of our metal mailbox on the bottom.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Of the driveway, and I had to walk in the house.
Oh gosh, okay hunh this.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Giant gosh in the side of your cars. Nothing that
I could do about it, now you know what I did. Actually,
my son was in the car. He was very young
at that time, and I just continued and I took
him down to the toy store where we're going, and
I got his replacement toy, and then I came back
and I said, hey, by the way, when I was
pulling out before, but anyway, so yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
This is trauma in the Marth Quinn Life in this
episode of Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean, at least you were honest about it. I
probably wouldn't have been honest because if I would have
broke the washing machine, I would have tried to well,
there's no one else to blame, but I would have
been like, I don't know what happened. It just started
coming out. But there's been times when I broken something.
It's not my proudest moment. So I was living with
a man at the time, my boyfriend at the time,
(09:55):
and I guess I got.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
A little upset one day, and what I.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Didn't realize is that I must have thrown the remote
on the big eighty inch brand new flat screen TV
that was in our bedroom. But I didn't notice until
the next day when I turned on the TV and
the whole thing was damaged. And then I just said,
maybe a roommate walked in and just threw something at
the TV and was upset with you.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
No, I wasn't honest about it.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I know it was me, yes, And he never questioned that.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Nope, he didn't question it. He was like, well, I mean,
I'm sure he knew it was me. I'm just like, oh, well,
what can we do? And he was like, it's all right,
we'll just replace it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I was like, okay, but I didn't want to take
ownership of it because I was like, this is a
really like we literally got this TV about two weeks ago,
and it was a nice flat screen TV that we
mounted on the wall and boom, Greina got upset through
a remote which I don't remember throwing the remote, but
I probably did mm mmm, like flicked it like this, But.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I didn't realize that it hit the TV.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Until the next day when I turned on the TV
and it was all shattered.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So what was your mood when you start?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I was upset and I was drinking. But that was
a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, not now. Taking ownership, well, taking ownership can be
difficult if you know that the other person is going
to completely go bonkers. Yeah, it's a little harder. So
I do pat myself on the back. But I was
(11:26):
up against the wall. If I had thought that I could,
you know, I did not think of that. I did
not think of saying I don't know what happened. That
might have been a good idea, but I didn't think
of that. At the time, I was not fast off.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You're an honest person. I think, like, you know, I
would be honest now. But Christy, you're broken anything, dent
in anything?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
No, but they broke my window a couple of days ago.
You asked me how I'm doing. You're talking about the trauma.
Oh my god, getting over that. In Oakland, I was
coming out of a really really really really really fun,
fun fun karaoke competition and I came out and got
in my car. And I always check my car for
(12:06):
glass when I go out in Oakland, which is sad sometimes,
but I check and I'm like, oh cool. And I
got in the car and I started to pull off,
and I heard.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Why is there wind coming into my car?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
And I was like, I looked in the rear view
mirror and I could just see a big hole. And
I was like, well, at least it's still there. At
least I have the back way and shield. And I
drove home slowly so it didn't shatter. And I was like,
oh my god, if I hit a big bump, is
the glass going to all just come crashing down?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So I was like driving like Miss Daisy.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
All the way home, creep in my car so that
way it wouldn't shatter. And I just pulled in and
I said, oh well, I'll just have to get it fixed.
But I was happy that it was just like one
clean hole because they didn't take anything. There was nothing
to take. But I was like, oh, shut yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Not a fun feeling.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
When you called the glass people, what did they tell
you to do?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Nothing? They didn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You know, I called a bunch of glass people that
night because I said, okay, well I'm gonna fix it.
And perfect thing is I have insurance and I have
zero dollar glass deductible, so that's perfect. I was like,
you know what, they didn't take anything, and I feel
sorry for the person who broke my glass.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah that's what I said.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I said, I feel sorry for the person who felt
the need to try and ruin someone else's day, But
you're not going to steal my joy.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm going to get this fixed.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
It's not gonna cost me anything except some extra time,
and I'll give someone some business. And you got it,
fix it and I gotta fix the very next day.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I gotta fix this.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
That's an interesting silver lining that I'm going to give
someone some business.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
That's what I'm gonna do right now, and then she
went to the bar and drank her sorrows.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm just kidding, but yeah, you had a bad day,
but it all worked out in the end, just like
your washing machine.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yep, just like.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well Critz TV, we got a new one, just like
my window.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know, you know, it all always works out in
the end.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Don't worry just a thing.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
I'm just contemplating. Got a new one, got a new one,
got a new one. All right.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Well, ladies, so I had a bad day, right, don't
worry about a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Everything it's gonna be all right.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Every washing machine it's gonna be a wow.
