So Megan Markle is back attempting to reboot her public
image again. Here we go. She has now hard launched
her new lifestyle brand with a new name as ever,
but finds herself in more controversy. Turns out, like with
a previous name, American Riviera Orchard, She's being accused of
stealing the name because it matches the name of a

(01:35):
vintage clothing company in New York City. Markle also is
being accused of lifting her new logo from a small
Spanish town called Horus, but built a clothing store in
the town. Have claimed you're too small to sue the
Duchess of Sussex with that attitude. Yes, yes, uh, that's
a bit of a stretch. I mean, my gosh, if

(01:55):
you go down that road, you're always gonna most likely
be accident having the same name as either a store,
a street, a person who knows I.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Think it becomes more of a problem if you're trying
to do the exact same thing.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's a different standard. But we'll see how it works
out for.

Speaker 1 (02:13):

Of course, he does. I saw the trailer.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Did this.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
My guy is continuing to kick but and it's all
school violence.

Speaker 3 (02:37):

planm Ins, and a whole bunch of other people. A

the source of a deadly cyber attack, only to discover

place in the White House. Yeah, right now, another show

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, I haven't started watching it yet, but I did
watch the preview for it and I'm very interested.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, that again takes place in the White House. Another
president assassination. I don't know if that's what the case
is here, but it does take place in the White House.

muffin pan and fill it with tater tots right there.

Smash down the tots into the pan until they form
little cups. So those are your cup.

cup with a pickle, ground beef, some shredded cheese, and

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Great thing when you have company because you just pick
it up and you.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, I was just gonna go with this one, but
I'm actually gonna give you a choice. It's either National
Comfy Day or National handcuff Day.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, I'm gonna go comfy Day. I'm not feeling like
a handcuff at the moment.

Speaker 3 (05:31):

buzz because Harrison Ford has de thrown the rock.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
On with Mario Hollywood Buzz.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
So congrats to eighty one year old Harrison Ford. My
guy joined the MCU universe playing Red Hulk, and it's
catapulted into the top of the highest grossing actors. With
the addition of Captain America Brave New World's two hundred
million dollar opening weekend, Harrison's collected box office hall a
four point three to two billion has pushed him one

(06:11):
hundred and forty million above Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who
previously held the title. Wow. I'm actually surprised to hear
that the Rock had it prior to Harrison, because if
you think about Indiana Jones in all the Star Wars movies,
you think it'd be a no brainer. But then again, well, no,

(06:32):
it's just inflation. Yeah, because back then Star Wars in
nineteen seventy seven and even the new Star Wars, you
were paying what three dollars for a movie ticket? If fat?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
If that probably?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
And then now you're paying fifteen twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, you gotta just for inflation.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, it's got to be like number of tickets sold.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Correct. Correct.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Mario Lopez will be right.

Speaker 2 (06:53):

You know, it's easy to see the glasses half full
when everything is going right in your life, but how
do you deal when things can be way more challenging?
So two options either wallow in it or try to
look on the brin side. As it turns out, choosing
to look on the brin side can make you happier
in the long run. New research suggests that you don't
really need a research and see it's pretty obvious, but
if you're struggling, there are some ways to help make lemonade.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Okay, practice playing, whether that's doing a going for a
run or dancing it out in the kitchen, so basically
being silly.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's important, all right.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
And find humor in the every day. Laughter helps to
break the stress, and there's almost always something to laugh
at in life.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I always fine.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Like having a sense of humor really helps when things
are dark.

who make you.
