Permanent friendly ghost? Have Casper just kick it? If he's friendly,
why would I not want him? He could watch the dogs.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
A.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Mario Lopez saw this on ig and thought it warranted discussing.
According to polls conducted by the social media group Puberty,
greatest ice cream flavor of all time has just been determined,
and they did a March Madness type bracket. There was
a lot of flavors there in the winter cookies and cream, okay.
The vote was determined in a series of polls shared
(02:39):
on ig stories in mid September. The final poll in
the bracket style tournament had cookies and Cream facing off
against Cookie dough, with Cookies and Cream emerging as the
overall champion. I don't think I have a problem with
that because it kind of encompasses a little vanilla, little chocolate,
some cookie. It's in my mount rushmore favorite ice cream flavors.
You know what My go to are.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Coffee, chocolate, chip, mint something there.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
There's there's coffee, no particular order, coffee, minten chip, chocolate chip. Yeah,
and cookies and green Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Those are good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Those are good.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But you're disappointed that the cookie though, didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's my wife.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
As I do like cookie dough just in general. I
don't see I eat like a good pack of cookie
dough a week, probably as a dessert. It's just a
good dessert.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's quick, Salmonella no, you can eat it now.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
More Mario Lopez coming up, You're a Mario Lopez music
rolls on right after Fraser attempts.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
To make us think with a random thought, what.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You got if shampoo and conditioner are two and one,
how exactly does the shampoo know to go first?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh that's good. Well it's a mashup. So I think
they work in conjunction. At that point they joined forces.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Or is it all a scam?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I guess it could. Well, here's the thing. Sometimes I
just shampoo and don't use conditioner because conditioner really lightens
your hair, and if you want to get some hythe
with your wig.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Which is a main goal for you, you.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't go conditioner I only go at night during the
day just shampoo, because if you go conditioner, you won't
get the fluff.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Wig Tips.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Music rolls on as we get ready for some September

I think we're gonna go ahead and squeeze in today's
obscure holiday? What are we celebrating today?
Speaker 1 (04:23):

Speaker 2 (04:25):

ice cream flavors. I love even coffee ice cream. That's
one of my favorites. I love the smell of it,
I love the taste of it. I feel weird when
I don't have coffee. Your new habit does turn into
visiting the restroom often, but it's worth that for some
September twenty ninth birthday shout out, it's what a Mario
(04:47):
Lopez here is? Always? Fraser's gonna name them. I'm gonna
try to guess the ages.
Speaker 3 (04:50):

Speaker 2 (04:58):

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Forty five Andrew Dice Clay, Oh, little miss Muffett sat
on a toughet.

(06:17):
All right, time to dig into our mentions to see
what's on your mind. You're on with Mario Lopez. Who's
this one from Frasier?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This is from at Bobby Benefield. I got to say,
with all the fear mongering about AI, I really like
will i AM's take on AI and the music industry
a bit refreshing.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, Bobby, I agree with you. Will i Am, who's
a smart guy, had a really refreshing and smart take.
AI obviously has taken over a lot of jobs and
really helps creatively, but you can't really tap into the
human soul when it comes to pain, love, things of
that nature.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Here's a little of him talking about that.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
We all know drones are fast, but people don't want
to see Louis Hamilton race a robot car. They want
to see Louis Hamilton. Ain't nobody going to want to
see Lebron James dunk a robot. They want to see
Lebron James play humans, and so the same is gonna
be for AI music. A music's gonna be amazing. What
(07:12):
people are gonna want to see human be human.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And that's true because no one saw Space Jam two
or whatever it was that remains.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So that is col de Ice, Cold de Ice More.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
A comeback on with Mario Hollywood Buzz.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Disney's dusting off one of the nineties most we love
underdog stories and plan to give it a fresh twist
with Cool Runnings too.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
All female Bob sled team making the spotlight this time around.
The original came out way back in nineteen ninety three
again and was inspired by Jamaica's real life Olympic Bob
sled Team's debut. The movie became a hit. The movie
became a bit of a cult classic over the years,
and now the next chapter is reportedly.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
In the works.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, it's got to be fictional because I haven't seen
another Bob sled team for Jamaica, so we'll have to
see what happened more.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Mario Lopez coming up, Mario.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Lopez Here, music rolls on after some quick food buzz
fast food dropping some wild new flavors on us, and honestly,
some of them are pretty interesting. There's a thin mint
frosty at Windy's. There's also a loaded Nashville Hot Fries
bowl at KC that sounds good too and like you'll
be having rubble in the jungle later in your stomach.
Taco bells back with garlic, Nacho fres stack with steak. Okay,
(13:52):
if you're a fan of Popeyes, have got a pickle
glazed chicken sandwich with a signature Southern kick. A lot
of pickle theme action going on right now here. All right,
I'm down to try all of these. All right, let's
get back to music. Keeping the music and fun coming
your way. Mario and Courtney Lopez here got a song
you want to hear? He had apar mentions ad on
with Mario on Facebook and x at on with Mario
Lopez on IG don't forget to click follow and join
(14:14):
the family. Ah, Mario Lopez, time for one last thing
for e sure what we got?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So we did a random question a while back that
I don't remember the amount of money, but it was
about losing a thumb or losing two thumbs or something
like that. Well, I was scrolling through Instagram and I
saw this news story The New York Post had about
this guy who has no thumbs, and he seems to
say that we were wrong in our assessments, Wow, that
we needed our thumbs.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I am born with no thumbs, but if I would,
let's say, wake up tomorrow with thumbs, I'm not keeping them,
maybe for one or two days, just to see how
it is how you guys go through every day of
your life. But after one or two days, I'm getting
rid of them because for me, it's like learning to
walk again. I spend a twenty six years getting used
to living without thumbs. I'm not going to the next
(15:02):
twenty six years of getting used to living with thumbs.
The thing is, I'm used to using my hands as
it is.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I found my way around it.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
And on top of that, I'm the living example of
the thumbs are optional.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Good for that guy, Yeah, good for that guy. What
an awesome attitude. And when you're born a certain way
and you know life only that way, I guess you
get accustomed and why change at that point? But what
a great like spirit he has. I'll tell you something.
You could lose any finger other than your thumb, and
(15:36):
I think you can go about your life with the
same sort.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Of You're probably okay.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think I don't think you'd have to make tu
you wouldn't affect it as much. Correct you lose your thumb,
that's a whole other level.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Mario Lopez will be right back, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I am out of here, back tomorrow with more music
and fund so let's keep the hits coming. Mario Lopez

this one from Frasier?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This is from at Bobby Benefield. I got to say,
with all the fear mongering about AI, I really like
will i AM's take on AI and the music industry
a bit refreshing.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, Bobby, I agree with you. Will i Am, who's
a smart guy, had a really refreshing and smart take.
AI obviously has taken over a lot of jobs and
really helps creatively, but you can't really tap into the
human soul when it comes to pain, love, things of
that nature.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Here's a little of him talking about that.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
We all know drones are fast, but people don't want
to see Louis Hamilton race a robot car. They want
to see Louis Hamilton. Ain't nobody going to want to
see Lebron James dunk a robot. They want to see
Lebron James play humans, and so the same is gonna
be for AI music. A music's gonna be amazing. What
(07:12):
people are gonna want to see human be human.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And that's true because no one saw Space Jam two
or whatever it was that remains.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
All female Bob sled team making the spotlight this time around.
The original came out way back in nineteen ninety three
again and was inspired by Jamaica's real life Olympic Bob
sled Team's debut. The movie became a hit. The movie
became a bit of a cult classic over the years,
and now the next chapter is reportedly.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
In the works.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, it's got to be fictional because I haven't seen
another Bob sled team for Jamaica, so we'll have to

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Mario Lopez coming up, Mario.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Lopez Here, music rolls on after some quick food buzz
fast food dropping some wild new flavors on us, and honestly,
some of them are pretty interesting. There's a thin mint
frosty at Windy's. There's also a loaded Nashville Hot Fries
bowl at KC that sounds good too and like you'll
be having rubble in the jungle later in your stomach.
Taco bells back with garlic, Nacho fres stack with steak. Okay,
(13:52):
if you're a fan of Popeyes, have got a pickle
glazed chicken sandwich with a signature Southern kick. A lot
of pickle theme action going on right now here. All right,
I'm down to try all of these. All right, let's
get back to music. Keeping the music and fun coming
your way. Mario and Courtney Lopez here got a song
you want to hear? He had apar mentions ad on
with Mario on Facebook and x at on with Mario
Lopez on IG don't forget to click follow and join
(14:14):
the family. Ah, Mario Lopez, time for one last thing
for e sure what we got?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So we did a random question a while back that
I don't remember the amount of money, but it was
about losing a thumb or losing two thumbs or something
like that. Well, I was scrolling through Instagram and I
saw this news story The New York Post had about
this guy who has no thumbs, and he seems to
say that we were wrong in our assessments, Wow, that
we needed our thumbs.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I am born with no thumbs, but if I would,
let's say, wake up tomorrow with thumbs, I'm not keeping them,
maybe for one or two days, just to see how
it is how you guys go through every day of
your life. But after one or two days, I'm getting
rid of them because for me, it's like learning to
walk again. I spend a twenty six years getting used
to living without thumbs. I'm not going to the next
(15:02):
twenty six years of getting used to living with thumbs.
The thing is, I'm used to using my hands as
it is.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I found my way around it.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
And on top of that, I'm the living example of
the thumbs are optional.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Good for that guy, Yeah, good for that guy. What
an awesome attitude. And when you're born a certain way
and you know life only that way, I guess you
get accustomed and why change at that point? But what
a great like spirit he has. I'll tell you something.
You could lose any finger other than your thumb, and
(15:36):
I think you can go about your life with the
same sort.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Of You're probably okay.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think I don't think you'd have to make tu
you wouldn't affect it as much. Correct you lose your thumb,
that's a whole other level.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Mario Lopez will be right back, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I am out of here, back tomorrow with more music
and fund so let's keep the hits coming. Mario Lopez
here is saying some
Speaker 1 (15:59):
With Mario Lopez.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
