Speaker 2 (03:49):
Music rolls on as we quickly recognize today's obscure holiday.
Mario Lopez here, all right, Well, I was celebrating on
January fourteenth.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
It is organize your home Day.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh my gosh. I've been wanting to celebrate this the
longest time. Every time I set time aside to organize
my closet, office, whatever something comes up.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Did it get done over the holidays? Because I think
you said we're gonna get this done over the holidays.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm gonna tell you why it didn't get done over
the holidays, because we had to leave out of town
and then I had to work, I believe, And I'm
so mad because I was looking forward to it. I
feel like Will Ferrell in old school when he's like,
wants that nice little Saturday to go home, depot and
straighten up. That's me right now on Mari Lopez a
(04:34):
few more songs and gonna get podcasters Amy Robot and TJ.
Holmes on Zoom. They're on the ground in La touring
the destruction from these deadly fires. They're gonna get the
scoop from them next, but first, more music. Marilopez joining
me now on Zoom. The hosts of the podcast, Amy
and TJ. Amy Robock and TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Hey, you guys doing Hey Mario for doing well.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I guess we're doing better then most. We just got
to La. Yes. So man, it's been incredible to see
what you guys have been going through out here.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh man, it has been just that incredible and unfortunately
been living at a firsthand. We haven't been in our
house and about what is it weak. Now it's nightmarish,
and I know you're always covering the news on your podcast.
Have you visited any of the sites out to Dina Palisades.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yes, actually we were able to get out to the
Palisades this morning, right as the sun was rising. And
my goodness. We have covered our share of weather related disasters,
from hurricanes to tornadoes, to fires to floods, but nothing,
nothing with the scale and the scope of what we saw,
and just the indiscriminate nature of the fire. I think
(05:45):
that was jarring for us to know that an ember
can travel with the wind and suddenly one house can
be spared and the ten houses around it are gone,
And it was just it was eerie, and it was
so I've heard people describe it as apocalyptic, but truly,
that is the word to describe it. Almost a scene
(06:06):
from the TV show The Walking Deck. I mean, that's
what it felt like.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And she used the word, Mario, indiscriminate, but I guess
at the same time you can also use the word
that the fire discriminates, because it seems like this whole
neighborhood is fine, but then the fire decided to you
know what, I'm gonna take this house out. I'm going
to take this house out. So it feels like it
is indiscriminate and it seems to discriminate at the same time,
but it always saw. We got a tour of fire
(06:34):
chimneys today, right, because that's the only thing that was
left standing in so many neighborhoods. That's the only thing
that survives. It's just on a level. And we talked
about tornadoes that both of us are from the South
and we can deal with floods. We know hurricane damage.
But it's just still it's weird to say, Mario that
this is like for folks who have spent decades covering
disasters to say, I've never seen anything like this. Has
(06:54):
been a long time since I've been able to say
that more.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Mario Lopez on the way, getting back to Robot and TJ.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Holmes, Mario Lopez here talking about the La wildfires. So
what are your thoughts, by the way, on the on
the overall response and readiness to the fires from the
city government.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
You know, I can't I can speak to the unfortunate
nature of the political back and forth. Yes, there needs
to be a whole, a whole unpacking of the preparedness
and then the response, of course, right now, we need
to save each other. Right now, we need to love
each other right now. Even politicians need to be standing
side by side at a podium saying, you know what
(07:33):
we will. I will get back to cutting this dude
out later, but right now, he and I or she
and I are going to stand here and give a
united front. And that's that should be the only thing
I think right now we're talking about and unfortunate least
sometimes our politicians let us down and sometimes are you. Look,
the preparedness might not have been what it should have been.
(07:54):
That's not for me to say right now, but Mara,
what you said, you asked kind of about the response
to whatnot, and then my should have been it's been
heroic because the response is coming from all those folks
and you all have seen them here. Every time you
pass on the street, to anybody who is in a
firefighter's you a first responder of any kind, you just
want to go hug them, no matter where they are,
where they're from, and what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You just want to.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
So the response, the right answer is that the response
has been heroic because they've been out there and we've
been hearing stories about the first couple of days. They
didn't sleep, they didn't eat at all for the first
couple of days of trying to fight these fires. And
they are absolute heroes from top to bottom. So the
response to how the response has been, it's been absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
He DJ Holmes and Amy Robot on Zoom, ri A
Lopez here and they've been on the ground in La
reporting on the wildfire. So have you been able to
talk to many people on the ground in the palisads.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
We're there and we've actually we've been doing that all
morning long. And sadly, normally, you know, as a journalist
you're looking for people to talk to. We have had
so many people to talk to we can't even fit
them all in, which is a sad situation because so
many people have lost so much. But you know what
I will say, and I know TJ has witnessed this
as well. Despite these folks who have lost all of
(09:13):
their worldly possessions, have lost their children's artwork, they have
lost their grandfather's clock, they have lot, you know, all
of these things that can't be replaced, they have smiles
on their face. They have a positive, hopeful energy about
them that they're going to rebuild, that they're going to
build their communities back, because this isn't just one person's
(09:34):
home going down. This is an entire neighborhood. These are
entire communities. And to see them banding together and helping
each other out and feeling that spirit of community, it's
lifting them up, and it was lifting us up talking
to them, because who are we to complain about anything
right now? When people who have lost everything, thankfully but
their lives still sitting there with a twinkle in their eye,
(09:56):
hope in their heart, and a will to rea built.
That is inspiring.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It is encouraging. All right, hangtime, were gonna have more
of Amy Robock and TJ Holmes coming out all Mario
Lopez talking with podcasters Amy Robock and TJ Holmes and
switching gears real quick second. In addition to to the
weekly podcast, y'all recently launched Morning.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Run, which airs every weekday.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
For those not familiar, telling me.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
About it, yeah, Monday through Friday. In fact, TJ got
up at eleven thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
That sounds stupid, doesn't it, Mario? You got I got
at this is.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
We launched this right after Labor Day and this is
our first time on the West Coast doing it, and
we have to remember that it still goes up East
Coast time. We want to get in time for the
commuters out there to listen to the podcast Get the
Headlines Monday through Friday, so we had to get up.
I got up at one thirty. You got up at
eleven thirty. That's truth be told. But we it's a
(10:55):
labor of love.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We are back.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
To doing the news in the way we love doing it,
where we get to share the headlines and offer some
perspective and just get people caught up. Basically, it's between
twenty and thirty minutes every morning, but it's a way
if you're however, you're getting to work or taking your
morning run, you can run with us and we'll keep
you updated. We'll get you up to speed so when
(11:17):
you walk into work or wherever you're headed, you kind
of have a pretty good idea of what's going on
in the world, and that's our hope.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You're the full interview now on with Mario dot Com.
More Mario Lopez on the Way.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We're wrapping up with Amy Robock and DJ Holmes.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You're on Mario Lopez and before you go, you two
are also big runners, right, you both recently completed the
New York Marathon.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yes, we are big time runners. We are marathoners. Yes
we are officially marathon ers. You're don't mess around. We're
debating about whether or not we should run while we're
here because of the air air quality.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, yeah, I would hit a treadmill. Maybe the air
quality is not too I've done a few marathons. I'm
probably comfortable saying that they're behind me. They're daunting, as
you know. But man, then it's hard on the knees,
man in the shin.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
When you say a few, how many? How many? You
know exactly how many.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I've done the Boston, I've done the Vegas Marathon in
New York, and I did Las before.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
To be fair, though, during the Boston Marathon, he stopped
at someone's house and had lunch and used the restaurant
in the middle of it. That was my first marathon,
and that's also why that's why Will Ferrell beat his time.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's right, that's right. That was my first marathon.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That was for charity, and I thought it was going
to be too white, and I got hungry.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Somebody waved me over and offered me a meal. I
was like, yeah, all right, so I stopped. I had lunch.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
He's true.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Thank you for sharing that. And then I finished the.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Uh fin he ran on the pull stomach. As my
bigger question, woo, that's it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
It was a light lunch.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I didn't crush it. I didn't crush it. It was
just like a light like a sandwich, babe.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
But how long was the pit stop, Mario? And what
was your final time? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Man, I met It was a good twenty minute pit stop.
Hey did you get a tattoo to commemorate the marathon?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Man?
Speaker 7 (12:58):
I have.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I can't show it. It's up the sleep but yeah,
it's the route, it's the actual course. And then and
then I have each date for the three New York
City marathons I've done, and I've left space to keep adding.
I've told myself I'm going to run the New York
City Marathon every year as long as my body allows
the rest of my life.

Eleven starting some drama.
Speaker 3 (14:42):

My son is probably technically better. He's got more technique. Okay,
but I think I was a little meaner and well,
he's pretty.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Athletic, but at his age, had you been wrestling the
same amount of time?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, okay, yes.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But he's had a lot more training in his technique
is definitely better. But I think, uh, I think I
was a little meaner and and had a little had
a little more fight in me. I don't know, but
he's mean. That had been a good match, let me
kill that would have thatud have been a good match.
But I think I still would have got him. I
think I still would have got him. I recently took
(15:24):
him sparring with me boxing. I gave him a good
little body shot. See how he reacted what he did,
and he got he got dropped, but then he stood
up and continued fighting, so he didn't quit on me.

is the reason why. The wolfmoon is the first full
moon of twenty twenty five and peaked on Monday according
to NASA, but will remain full through Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
January's wolfmon name originates.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From the Main Farmers Almanac, which published Native American's name
for each full moon.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
According to NASA, it came.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
From pack of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid
the cold and deep snows of winter. So my wife
took a picture and video of this full moon when
the fires were going out, and it was actually a
pretty picture. It was sort of like blood.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Red orange, almost like the eye of Sauron.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It was dune.

More fun on the way on with Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Music rolls on as we quickly recognize today's obscure holiday.
Mario Lopez here, all right, Well, I was celebrating on
January fourteenth.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
It is organize your home Day.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh my gosh. I've been wanting to celebrate this the
longest time. Every time I set time aside to organize
my closet, office, whatever something comes up.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Did it get done over the holidays? Because I think
you said we're gonna get this done over the holidays.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm gonna tell you why it didn't get done over
the holidays, because we had to leave out of town
and then I had to work, I believe, And I'm
so mad because I was looking forward to it. I
feel like Will Ferrell in old school when he's like,
wants that nice little Saturday to go home, depot and
straighten up. That's me right now on Mari Lopez a
(04:34):
few more songs and gonna get podcasters Amy Robot and TJ.
Holmes on Zoom. They're on the ground in La touring
the destruction from these deadly fires. They're gonna get the
scoop from them next, but first, more music. Marilopez joining
me now on Zoom. The hosts of the podcast, Amy
and TJ. Amy Robock and TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Hey, you guys doing Hey Mario for doing well.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I guess we're doing better then most. We just got
to La. Yes. So man, it's been incredible to see
what you guys have been going through out here.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh man, it has been just that incredible and unfortunately
been living at a firsthand. We haven't been in our
house and about what is it weak. Now it's nightmarish,
and I know you're always covering the news on your podcast.
Have you visited any of the sites out to Dina Palisades.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yes, actually we were able to get out to the
Palisades this morning, right as the sun was rising. And
my goodness. We have covered our share of weather related disasters,
from hurricanes to tornadoes, to fires to floods, but nothing,
nothing with the scale and the scope of what we saw,
and just the indiscriminate nature of the fire. I think
(05:45):
that was jarring for us to know that an ember
can travel with the wind and suddenly one house can
be spared and the ten houses around it are gone,
And it was just it was eerie, and it was
so I've heard people describe it as apocalyptic, but truly,
that is the word to describe it. Almost a scene
(06:06):
from the TV show The Walking Deck. I mean, that's
what it felt like.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And she used the word, Mario, indiscriminate, but I guess
at the same time you can also use the word
that the fire discriminates, because it seems like this whole
neighborhood is fine, but then the fire decided to you
know what, I'm gonna take this house out. I'm going
to take this house out. So it feels like it
is indiscriminate and it seems to discriminate at the same time,
but it always saw. We got a tour of fire
(06:34):
chimneys today, right, because that's the only thing that was
left standing in so many neighborhoods. That's the only thing
that survives. It's just on a level. And we talked
about tornadoes that both of us are from the South
and we can deal with floods. We know hurricane damage.
But it's just still it's weird to say, Mario that
this is like for folks who have spent decades covering
disasters to say, I've never seen anything like this. Has
(06:54):
been a long time since I've been able to say
that more.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Mario Lopez on the way, getting back to Robot and TJ.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Holmes, Mario Lopez here talking about the La wildfires. So
what are your thoughts, by the way, on the on
the overall response and readiness to the fires from the
city government.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
You know, I can't I can speak to the unfortunate
nature of the political back and forth. Yes, there needs
to be a whole, a whole unpacking of the preparedness
and then the response, of course, right now, we need
to save each other. Right now, we need to love
each other right now. Even politicians need to be standing
side by side at a podium saying, you know what
(07:33):
we will. I will get back to cutting this dude
out later, but right now, he and I or she
and I are going to stand here and give a
united front. And that's that should be the only thing
I think right now we're talking about and unfortunate least
sometimes our politicians let us down and sometimes are you. Look,
the preparedness might not have been what it should have been.
(07:54):
That's not for me to say right now, but Mara,
what you said, you asked kind of about the response
to whatnot, and then my should have been it's been
heroic because the response is coming from all those folks
and you all have seen them here. Every time you
pass on the street, to anybody who is in a
firefighter's you a first responder of any kind, you just
want to go hug them, no matter where they are,
where they're from, and what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You just want to.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
So the response, the right answer is that the response
has been heroic because they've been out there and we've
been hearing stories about the first couple of days. They
didn't sleep, they didn't eat at all for the first
couple of days of trying to fight these fires. And
they are absolute heroes from top to bottom. So the
response to how the response has been, it's been absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
He DJ Holmes and Amy Robot on Zoom, ri A
Lopez here and they've been on the ground in La
reporting on the wildfire. So have you been able to
talk to many people on the ground in the palisads.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
We're there and we've actually we've been doing that all
morning long. And sadly, normally, you know, as a journalist
you're looking for people to talk to. We have had
so many people to talk to we can't even fit
them all in, which is a sad situation because so
many people have lost so much. But you know what
I will say, and I know TJ has witnessed this
as well. Despite these folks who have lost all of
(09:13):
their worldly possessions, have lost their children's artwork, they have
lost their grandfather's clock, they have lot, you know, all
of these things that can't be replaced, they have smiles
on their face. They have a positive, hopeful energy about
them that they're going to rebuild, that they're going to
build their communities back, because this isn't just one person's
(09:34):
home going down. This is an entire neighborhood. These are
entire communities. And to see them banding together and helping
each other out and feeling that spirit of community, it's
lifting them up, and it was lifting us up talking
to them, because who are we to complain about anything
right now? When people who have lost everything, thankfully but
their lives still sitting there with a twinkle in their eye,
(09:56):
hope in their heart, and a will to rea built.
That is inspiring.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It is encouraging. All right, hangtime, were gonna have more
of Amy Robock and TJ Holmes coming out all Mario
Lopez talking with podcasters Amy Robock and TJ Holmes and
switching gears real quick second. In addition to to the
weekly podcast, y'all recently launched Morning.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Run, which airs every weekday.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
For those not familiar, telling me.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
About it, yeah, Monday through Friday. In fact, TJ got
up at eleven thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
That sounds stupid, doesn't it, Mario? You got I got
at this is.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
We launched this right after Labor Day and this is
our first time on the West Coast doing it, and
we have to remember that it still goes up East
Coast time. We want to get in time for the
commuters out there to listen to the podcast Get the
Headlines Monday through Friday, so we had to get up.
I got up at one thirty. You got up at
eleven thirty. That's truth be told. But we it's a
(10:55):
labor of love.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We are back.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
To doing the news in the way we love doing it,
where we get to share the headlines and offer some
perspective and just get people caught up. Basically, it's between
twenty and thirty minutes every morning, but it's a way
if you're however, you're getting to work or taking your
morning run, you can run with us and we'll keep
you updated. We'll get you up to speed so when
(11:17):
you walk into work or wherever you're headed, you kind
of have a pretty good idea of what's going on
in the world, and that's our hope.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You're the full interview now on with Mario dot Com.
More Mario Lopez on the Way.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We're wrapping up with Amy Robock and DJ Holmes.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You're on Mario Lopez and before you go, you two
are also big runners, right, you both recently completed the
New York Marathon.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yes, we are big time runners. We are marathoners. Yes
we are officially marathon ers. You're don't mess around. We're
debating about whether or not we should run while we're
here because of the air air quality.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, yeah, I would hit a treadmill. Maybe the air
quality is not too I've done a few marathons. I'm
probably comfortable saying that they're behind me. They're daunting, as
you know. But man, then it's hard on the knees,
man in the shin.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
When you say a few, how many? How many? You
know exactly how many.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I've done the Boston, I've done the Vegas Marathon in
New York, and I did Las before.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
To be fair, though, during the Boston Marathon, he stopped
at someone's house and had lunch and used the restaurant
in the middle of it. That was my first marathon,
and that's also why that's why Will Ferrell beat his time.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's right, that's right. That was my first marathon.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That was for charity, and I thought it was going
to be too white, and I got hungry.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Somebody waved me over and offered me a meal. I
was like, yeah, all right, so I stopped. I had lunch.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
He's true.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Thank you for sharing that. And then I finished the.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Uh fin he ran on the pull stomach. As my
bigger question, woo, that's it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
It was a light lunch.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I didn't crush it. I didn't crush it. It was
just like a light like a sandwich, babe.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
But how long was the pit stop, Mario? And what
was your final time? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Man, I met It was a good twenty minute pit stop.
Hey did you get a tattoo to commemorate the marathon?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Man?
Speaker 7 (12:58):
I have.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I can't show it. It's up the sleep but yeah,
it's the route, it's the actual course. And then and
then I have each date for the three New York
City marathons I've done, and I've left space to keep adding.
I've told myself I'm going to run the New York
City Marathon every year as long as my body allows
the rest of my life.

an unfair question, but who's better your son now or
you at his age?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ooh, that's a good question right there. Okay, let's see he's.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Eleven starting some drama.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Ah, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
My son is probably technically better. He's got more technique. Okay,
but I think I was a little meaner and well,
he's pretty.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Athletic, but at his age, had you been wrestling the
same amount of time?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, okay, yes.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But he's had a lot more training in his technique
is definitely better. But I think, uh, I think I
was a little meaner and and had a little had
a little more fight in me. I don't know, but
he's mean. That had been a good match, let me
kill that would have thatud have been a good match.
But I think I still would have got him. I
think I still would have got him. I recently took
(15:24):
him sparring with me boxing. I gave him a good
little body shot. See how he reacted what he did,
and he got he got dropped, but then he stood
up and continued fighting, so he didn't quit on me.

If the moon is looking crazy to you this week
is the reason why. The wolfmoon is the first full
moon of twenty twenty five and peaked on Monday according
to NASA, but will remain full through Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
January's wolfmon name originates.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From the Main Farmers Almanac, which published Native American's name
for each full moon.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
According to NASA, it came.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
From pack of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid
the cold and deep snows of winter. So my wife
took a picture and video of this full moon when
the fires were going out, and it was actually a
pretty picture. It was sort of like blood.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Red orange, almost like the eye of Sauron.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It was dune.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
It was wild.
