All right, what are we debating? Pressure?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
All right?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
First I need to know who wants to be pro,
who wants to be con?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Honey, I will be pro.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Okay your topic and you have ten seconds or sorry,
you have twenty seconds to make your case. There'll be
a ten second rebuttal afterwards. Is winter weather, Courtney, you're pro?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Go.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Winter weather is not only beautiful, but the cold is
very good for your skin. If rejuvenates cells. It keeps
you burning calories, and it makes you want to apply
lotion minute after minute and stay very hydrated. And you
know what, it is just the best to It's like.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
A free cryal there, time is up. You struggle because
you know you're telling lies. Winter weather is absolutely awful.
Just read that forty percent of men between the ages
of forty five and sixty five have heart attacks. Shoveling
snow out of the driveway in winter. Yes, winter cooling unnecessary.
(01:34):
They have a lot of accidents. It looks good on
a postcard during Christmas, but after that you can't get
your dogs outside to go to the bathroom. It's a
grass killer. Time and go on and all past.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Time is up. Time for rebuttal ten seconds from Courny.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Well that might be a con for you, but a
pro for me.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And the rebuttal from Mario. Wait, what might be a cloud?
You'll die? Oh you're trying to be solo. Now you're
trying to be solo. Listen, Well here's my rebuttal. You
moved away from a cold weather city because you couldn't
handle the cold.

parents of teenagers. The family is starting to become more
distance until one day mom and dad wake up in
the bodies of their kids, and now it's up to
the kids to act like bosses to land a promotion.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Uh oh well, and the grown ups are left to
deal with college interviews and soccer tryouts, and if they
want to get back to their real bodies, they're going
to have to come together as a family. Well, I
would not want to have to go back to school
for the life of me. But I know if Gia
had to be one of us, she would succeed.

Buzz on with Mario Lopez Hollywood Buzz.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Cayl Richards and Mauricio
Umansky have been going through some marital problems. Initially it
sounded like it was just a separation, but at Bravu Khon,
Kyle used the word divorce. Where you're hearing that neither
kyleer Mauricio have up yet, but they may need too soon.
Where it is, they have no prenup and their net
worth is allegedly around one hundred million under California law,
(14:08):
that means Kyle could be entitled to half of their
assets and up to forty percent of Mauricio's income. There's
also some legal matters that they have to deal with,
And I wonder how that works when you're getting separated,
because if you get separated real quick, maybe that excuses
you from those like you mean they're being sued or something. Correct,
He's he's caught up, right. I don't think she gets
(14:30):
out of it. If they get yeah, you can't like,
does that'd be a good haul past? Think that real
quick to get out of.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
There so much for those breaks. I mean, this is
a good indication that breaks don't work.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I think so more.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Mario Lopez coming up.

Mario Lopez about to press play on some more music,

own series at Peacock takes place in the nineties, and
Ted now has a new best friend. They inside baseball here.
They had approached my buddy Mark Wahlberg. He was telling
me about it, and he threw out an insane number,
(15:06):
of course, and they said, okay, we're good. Turns out
Ted made a new friend. Fred Kay, he didn't feel
like doing it. Sometimes you throw out in sane number
and if they do it, he goes, I would have
done it. This does because it was so insane. You've
already done a couple of them. Why not try it?
See exactly anyway. It comes out January eleventh, but you
