these are some of the things we're going to apparently
be trying this year.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
So I haven't tried this yet, but it's boba and
popping pearls.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What is a popping pearl?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It's those things at the bottom that kind of just
burst in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Thought that was the boba. I don't know, I understand that.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I think it seems like a choking hazard to me.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Kids love the boba.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Our kids do love the boba. So you can mix
and match textures and flavors to give any drink a kick.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, protein chips.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's the crunch of potato chips, but made from chicken
or beef.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I'm all about this.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Love.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I love a potato chip, but they're just so bad
for you. But rotein chip with chicken or beef, Okay,
I'm about it.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
And ball things are the popping pearls.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
So boba is the actual liquid, I think, yeah, I
think that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I always thought the balls were the bobas designer dates,
basically grown up dunkaroos.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
They're sweet, little poppable bites, really good.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Okay, Okay, Mac.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And cheese flights. So hip restaurants are ditching the massive
bowl and serving many portions of different flavors of mac
and cheese.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
I love it too.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Think pulled pork, mushroom, french, onion, troffle, butter, troffol can
get it, buffalo chicken, all delivered together to sample.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay, Now I want to find a restaurant that's doing
this because that sounds amazing.

so I don't know.

movie star actor Chris Pratt. Mario Courtney Lopez here.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I love how you said legit movie star, Like we
have not legit on the show.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, I think it's one of those things where like
we don't have a lot of movie stars anymore.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We have a lot of actors.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
But he's like a big movie.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He is a big movie. It's a very nice guy.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yes, and new his new movie is Mercy. Plus he's
got the super Mario Brothers sequel and the pipeline is
let's talk about when Chris Pratt joins us next.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Taby mare Lopez joining me right now, the star of
the new movie Mercy, My man, Chris Pratt. How you doing, Chris, dude,
I'm so good. How you doing, man, I'm doing great.
It's so good to see you, brother, and you seem
to have the Midas touch on all of your projects.
Congratulations on your new film Mercy. It looks wild, it's
out on January twenty third. In IMAX and three d
(07:25):
as well, you play a detective in the future a
eyes involved the whole deal.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, So basically, it's ninety minutes in the life of
a man who's defending his life, and so it's a trial, AI, judge, jury,
an executioner.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
It's setting like twenty.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Twenty nine Los Angeles, where they've been able to incorporate
AI into the justice system to try to deter the
most violent, heinous crimes. You know, the many situations where
it's like, if we know you're guilty, right, like, every
shred of evidence says you're guilty, ninety nine percent chance
you apsol did this to try to prevent crime, this
program's created and says we'll.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Kill you the day that we arrest you.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh I love that, trying to stop crime.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
And so my characters a detective who's put eight people
in this chair already, all of them found guilty, all
of them executed. But I wake up and now I'm
in the chair, and I got drunk the night before.
I have no idea what happened, and my wife has
been murdered. Every shred of evidence says that I did it,
and I don't know if I did it or not,
but now I have ninety minutes to try to say
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
And that's the movie.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
This is the ninety minutes of me on trial, fighting
for my life and using access to this La Municipal
cloud every bit of evidence of my life, facetimes and
Instagram profiles and my kids have hidden from me, and
emails and text messages that we went through, and this
judge judging me on who I am and whether or
not I'm a person who's capable of committing this crime.
So it's ninety minutes of me basically trying to determine
(08:51):
whether or not I'm a killer or not.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh man, those are some high stakes right there. What
a fun premise.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
It's definitely edge of your seat, a literal ticking clock,
and it's I'm confined to a chair the whole time.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
So we shot it like a stage play, so like
we takes fifty sixty.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Minutes long, but there's a ton of action because I've
got like my detective partners off boots of the ground.
She's flying all over trying to like you know, I'm
flying on this quad copture trying to like Uncover and
peel back the oneion and prove my innocence for me
and going to various crime scenes and all these riots
are happening outside. It's like tensions are really high in
La and it's it's a cool movie, man, it's a
really cool movie.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, looking forward to check it out.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Again, the film is Mercy. Hang time, We're gonna have
more Chris coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Getting back to after Chris Prade is haying that on Zoom.
Mario Lopez here, a new movie is Mercy.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And the way it was filmed, because it's a lot
of body camerag footage and drone shots and stuff and
continuous shots.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Was that challenging for you just as an actor.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Yeah, it was a different challenge. I mean the team
more Big Buck membtop Our director.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
I worked with them on Wanted years and years ago,
sixteen seventeen years ago, and he's always been on the
cutting edge of visual storytelling, like you know, really developing
new technologies and did it on this movie as well.
So a lot it's called the screenline film. So everything
you see is me on trial and then every interaction
(10:08):
I have with everybody is with the type of interactions
we typically have on a day to day basis with people,
and all the evidence that's collected is part of this
big surveillance state. So you got doorboard cameras, dash cams,
security footage, facetimes, everything that we're used to seeing because
we kind of forget that we are etching our lives
into digital stone, leaving a trail of everywhere we've ever been,
you know, And so it's even heightened because it's like
(10:30):
three years in the future.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And so it was a challenge. I mean, it was
a challenge.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
We're shooting it just like a movie, but all of
a sudden you're like, wait, we're doing this whole sequence
on a GoPro and then we're like, you know, we're
doing this entire thing on an iPhone or you know
certain things You're like, I'm literally shooting on a doorbird
camera a sequence, you know, And so it was different.
And then the big challenge was just being stuck in
the chair and going for long takes like fifty sixty
minutes long, wow, and doing it like a play. So
(10:55):
it was it was really cool, man, was it was different.
Note and being stuck to this chair not being able
touch my face for hour ooh like truly feeling claustrophobic
and trapped in his chair.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
It was it was very technical.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
The whole thing was processed was really technical and in
a challenging way.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
That was different than anything I've done before.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I get way too itchy for that. I'd be wanting
to scratch and the whole deal.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You don't realize how often you scratch your face.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, you just even like I just rubbed my nose totally.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I feel like you would even have phantom itches that
aren't yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You start just start kind of manifesting them, and then
the AI judging system is fascinating.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I really want to check this out. Congratua and that
sounds cool.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
All right, Chris hank Ty, a few more songs and
we're gonna come back with someone You're all.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Mario Lopez catching up with actor Chris Prap and getting
a scoop on his new movie Mercy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
But another movie of yours I'm really looking forward to
seeing is the Mario Brothers sequels. My boys are fired
up their whole bedrooms or Super Mario, the Super Mario
Galaxy movie. And I see Super Mario every day because
I'm here at Universal Well the whole way, I'm immersed.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Are you happy with the way that one turned out?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Oh, it's so good. It's like the first movie I
was so proud of. I think it's fantastic. I think
it just steps it up the whole another level.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Like it.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I've only I haven't seen the full movie. I've only
seen sequences. Okay, but I'm about to go see the
movie I think next week. But the sequences that I've seen,
I was like, it feels like a Marvel movie. Like
they're the most visually stunning pieces of like animated cinema
I think I've ever seen it. So it's they just
took they just built on what we did before and
(12:26):
just totally doubled down a bunch of new characters. Fine,
you're fit of the games and the nostalgia playing those games.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Yes, you're gonna see characters.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
You're like, dude, they've put They've brought that into the universe.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
That's unreal. So like I he's like a big Mario fan.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
I think everyone's kind of chomping it the bit to
see who's the next characters that they're bringing in. But
there's some like really cool throwbacks and people. I think
it's just it's just gonna expand that sort of like
Nintendo Universe even more.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
All's little Easter Eggs. That's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:54):

Speaker 7 (15:09):

Speaker 2 (15:27):
But meanwhile, listen, everyone, please be sure to check out
Chris's new movie Mercy in theaters.
Speaker 3 (15:32):

Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's going down January twenty third in Imax and three
D as well.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Chris, thanks so much for hanging out.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Man, brother, My pleasure one hundred percent gray seeing you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
You'll always be super Mario to me, yall.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Mari Courtez a few more songs. I'm gonna make a
quick stop in a Quartos corner for a fresh live
hack or two.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Any hints on what we're going to learn.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Today, honey, Ways to boost your twenty twenty six productivity.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Oh okay, I like that Quartos corner coming up next?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Omoro Courtney Lopez stopping into Quartos corner for a fresh
live hacker too. As my wife just mentioned, today's all
about boosting productivity.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Right, I am about it? Or what's up about it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Here are two high impact accountability life hacks to boost
your twenty twenty six productivity. Number one is leverage anti
charity stakes. Turn your goals into a financial commitment. Research
shows that the pain of loss is often more motivating
than the reward of gain.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like I hate to lose more than I like winning,
so yes, right.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So the hack use a service like stick the app
to put a set amount of money on the line
for specific goal like example, for example, one hundred dollars
if I don't hit ten thousand steps today, okay, like
charge yourself?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Got it?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Practice Body doubling. Body doubling is a productivity hack where
you work alongside someone else, even if you aren't working
on the same project. So the presence of another person
serves as a gentle social anchor that keeps you from
wandering off task. So kind of like an accountability partner.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I like that.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
All right, You're more than.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Welcome to go up to someone at the gym who
you don't know and just work beside him and see
if they.
Speaker 6 (17:32):

Mario Courtney Lopez. Lots more music and fun headed your way. Also,
I wanted to mention this if you're expecting a baby
this year, Nope, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Might want hey, never say never. You might want to
check out this new research from Baby Center. Some once
popular baby names are headed for extinction or at least
out of popularity, like which ones.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, this just made me laugh because I had a
dermatologista appointment today and she was asking me questions, are
you allergic to this?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
No? Are allergic to that?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Are you pregnant? I gave a definite hell no, I've
never met this woman before she started laughing. Anyway, names
inspired by places like London, Brooklyn, Dallas, and even Boston
are losing steam.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So no Paris either, No Paris either.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
As our names starting with the letters D and K,
so say goodbye Danielle, Dylan, Kinley, and Carum. Those creative
non traditional spellings of names, For example, spellings the normal
Charlie would now be Cha, R, L, E, I, G
H are dropping fast as well as parents move back
towards more traditional spelling.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Thank goodness, that seemed like a dome experiment.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
But you're just constantly repeating yourself and correcting people. It's annoying.
Speaker 8 (19:56):

Courtney Lopez getting ready to wrap up an head home,
but not before we squeeze in one last thing.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
A Great Dane in Connecticut ironically named Minnie.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, I like him, like chubby dudes are named slim.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah, stuff like that, the ironic nickname.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Well, anyway, Minnie just earned the Guinness Worlds of Record
as the tallest female dog in the world.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Oh so we're getting very specific here, towering well over
three feet at the shoulders. Wow, that is tall. Minnie
is one inch shorter than the tallest male dog.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
A Great Dane named Reggie. Even with all that height, she's.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Still into the simple stuff, toys on the floor, long walks,
and cruising in the car.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I'll tell you it's not Minnie her poop.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Nope, that that is going to be first thing I
think of Great Dane.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Going are massive, and I think there's a weird thing
with them too. They don't know it, so they act
like small dogs, like knock stuff over. But yeah, that's
the first thing I think about too. They're having to
pick that up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
They're really really big.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Random thought. I'm really mad Eric Dane didn't name his
child great.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Oh that's true, opportunity miss.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
More Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 2 (23:20):

You're on with Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Here we go, Mario, Courtney Lopez back in studio, Fired

Speaker 3 (00:07):
To hang with you for the next few hours.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Excited for today's guest as well, actor Chris Pratt. We're

twenty six and more so, turn it up and let's
get the fun started. You are on with Mario and
Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh, Mario Courtney Lopez for your new food trends shaking
things up in the new year. Experts say, get ready,
these are some of the things we're going to apparently
be trying this year.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
So I haven't tried this yet, but it's boba and
popping pearls.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What is a popping pearl?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It's those things at the bottom that kind of just
burst in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Thought that was the boba. I don't know, I understand that.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I think it seems like a choking hazard to me.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Kids love the boba.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Our kids do love the boba. So you can mix
and match textures and flavors to give any drink a kick.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, protein chips.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's the crunch of potato chips, but made from chicken
or beef.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I'm all about this.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Love.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I love a potato chip, but they're just so bad
for you. But rotein chip with chicken or beef, Okay,
I'm about it.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
And ball things are the popping pearls.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
So boba is the actual liquid, I think, yeah, I
think that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I always thought the balls were the bobas designer dates,
basically grown up dunkaroos.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
They're sweet, little poppable bites, really good.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Okay, Okay, Mac.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And cheese flights. So hip restaurants are ditching the massive
bowl and serving many portions of different flavors of mac
and cheese.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
I love it too.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Think pulled pork, mushroom, french, onion, troffle, butter, troffol can
get it, buffalo chicken, all delivered together to sample.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay, Now I want to find a restaurant that's doing
this because that sounds amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Well, now I'm saying that the pearls are called boba,
so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
More, Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Coming up, Imark Courtney Lopez, keep you the music coming
your way.
Speaker 3 (02:06):

opera for guys, well and girls too.
Speaker 2 (02:57):

movie star actor Chris Pratt. Mario Courtney Lopez here.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I love how you said legit movie star, Like we
have not legit on the show.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, I think it's one of those things where like
we don't have a lot of movie stars anymore.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We have a lot of actors.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
But he's like a big movie.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He is a big movie. It's a very nice guy.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yes, and new his new movie is Mercy. Plus he's
got the super Mario Brothers sequel and the pipeline is
let's talk about when Chris Pratt joins us next.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Taby mare Lopez joining me right now, the star of
the new movie Mercy, My man, Chris Pratt. How you doing, Chris, dude,
I'm so good. How you doing, man, I'm doing great.
It's so good to see you, brother, and you seem
to have the Midas touch on all of your projects.
Congratulations on your new film Mercy. It looks wild, it's
out on January twenty third. In IMAX and three d
(07:25):
as well, you play a detective in the future a
eyes involved the whole deal.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, So basically, it's ninety minutes in the life of
a man who's defending his life, and so it's a trial, AI, judge, jury,
an executioner.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
It's setting like twenty.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Twenty nine Los Angeles, where they've been able to incorporate
AI into the justice system to try to deter the
most violent, heinous crimes. You know, the many situations where
it's like, if we know you're guilty, right, like, every
shred of evidence says you're guilty, ninety nine percent chance
you apsol did this to try to prevent crime, this
program's created and says we'll.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Kill you the day that we arrest you.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh I love that, trying to stop crime.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
And so my characters a detective who's put eight people
in this chair already, all of them found guilty, all
of them executed. But I wake up and now I'm
in the chair, and I got drunk the night before.
I have no idea what happened, and my wife has
been murdered. Every shred of evidence says that I did it,
and I don't know if I did it or not,
but now I have ninety minutes to try to say
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
And that's the movie.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
This is the ninety minutes of me on trial, fighting
for my life and using access to this La Municipal
cloud every bit of evidence of my life, facetimes and
Instagram profiles and my kids have hidden from me, and
emails and text messages that we went through, and this
judge judging me on who I am and whether or
not I'm a person who's capable of committing this crime.
So it's ninety minutes of me basically trying to determine
(08:51):
whether or not I'm a killer or not.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh man, those are some high stakes right there. What
a fun premise.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
It's definitely edge of your seat, a literal ticking clock,
and it's I'm confined to a chair the whole time.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
So we shot it like a stage play, so like
we takes fifty sixty.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Minutes long, but there's a ton of action because I've
got like my detective partners off boots of the ground.
She's flying all over trying to like you know, I'm
flying on this quad copture trying to like Uncover and
peel back the oneion and prove my innocence for me
and going to various crime scenes and all these riots
are happening outside. It's like tensions are really high in
La and it's it's a cool movie, man, it's a
really cool movie.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, looking forward to check it out.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Again, the film is Mercy. Hang time, We're gonna have
more Chris coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Getting back to after Chris Prade is haying that on Zoom.
Mario Lopez here, a new movie is Mercy.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And the way it was filmed, because it's a lot
of body camerag footage and drone shots and stuff and
continuous shots.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Was that challenging for you just as an actor.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Yeah, it was a different challenge. I mean the team
more Big Buck membtop Our director.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
I worked with them on Wanted years and years ago,
sixteen seventeen years ago, and he's always been on the
cutting edge of visual storytelling, like you know, really developing
new technologies and did it on this movie as well.
So a lot it's called the screenline film. So everything
you see is me on trial and then every interaction
(10:08):
I have with everybody is with the type of interactions
we typically have on a day to day basis with people,
and all the evidence that's collected is part of this
big surveillance state. So you got doorboard cameras, dash cams,
security footage, facetimes, everything that we're used to seeing because
we kind of forget that we are etching our lives
into digital stone, leaving a trail of everywhere we've ever been,
you know, And so it's even heightened because it's like
(10:30):
three years in the future.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And so it was a challenge. I mean, it was
a challenge.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
We're shooting it just like a movie, but all of
a sudden you're like, wait, we're doing this whole sequence
on a GoPro and then we're like, you know, we're
doing this entire thing on an iPhone or you know
certain things You're like, I'm literally shooting on a doorbird
camera a sequence, you know, And so it was different.
And then the big challenge was just being stuck in
the chair and going for long takes like fifty sixty
minutes long, wow, and doing it like a play. So
(10:55):
it was it was really cool, man, was it was different.
Note and being stuck to this chair not being able
touch my face for hour ooh like truly feeling claustrophobic
and trapped in his chair.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
It was it was very technical.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
The whole thing was processed was really technical and in
a challenging way.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
That was different than anything I've done before.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I get way too itchy for that. I'd be wanting
to scratch and the whole deal.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You don't realize how often you scratch your face.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, you just even like I just rubbed my nose totally.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I feel like you would even have phantom itches that
aren't yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You start just start kind of manifesting them, and then
the AI judging system is fascinating.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I really want to check this out. Congratua and that
sounds cool.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
All right, Chris hank Ty, a few more songs and
we're gonna come back with someone You're all.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Mario Lopez catching up with actor Chris Prap and getting
a scoop on his new movie Mercy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
But another movie of yours I'm really looking forward to
seeing is the Mario Brothers sequels. My boys are fired
up their whole bedrooms or Super Mario, the Super Mario
Galaxy movie. And I see Super Mario every day because
I'm here at Universal Well the whole way, I'm immersed.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Are you happy with the way that one turned out?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Oh, it's so good. It's like the first movie I
was so proud of. I think it's fantastic. I think
it just steps it up the whole another level.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Like it.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I've only I haven't seen the full movie. I've only
seen sequences. Okay, but I'm about to go see the
movie I think next week. But the sequences that I've seen,
I was like, it feels like a Marvel movie. Like
they're the most visually stunning pieces of like animated cinema
I think I've ever seen it. So it's they just
took they just built on what we did before and
(12:26):
just totally doubled down a bunch of new characters. Fine,
you're fit of the games and the nostalgia playing those games.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Yes, you're gonna see characters.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
You're like, dude, they've put They've brought that into the universe.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
That's unreal. So like I he's like a big Mario fan.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
I think everyone's kind of chomping it the bit to
see who's the next characters that they're bringing in. But
there's some like really cool throwbacks and people. I think
it's just it's just gonna expand that sort of like
Nintendo Universe even more.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
All's little Easter Eggs. That's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
All right, more with Chris on the way, but first,

I don't know if you're aware of this us both

which is something I wanted to chat with you about.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I love that and I love the work you're doing there.
Did you know and this is true, every.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Exactly what you're gonna say, but tell your audience.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Every year the pope is elected, the Seahawks end up
in the super Bowl. Okay, you knew that. You knew that,
and this is there and they're the number one seed
this year. Isn't that a trippy fun fact?
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Dude? It's a It is an absolute trip. And I'm
telling you. I was there at the the last Rams game. Yeah, yeah,
you know that.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
We that we came back sixteen points in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
There was a divine right in that moment. I was like,
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
I don't want to be against the Seahawks at home
when you got hope and God on your side.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know, I'm just saying, you're right if you're bay,
That's exactly I came across.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I was like, that is fascinating.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
We had an awesome stat I love that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It is an awesome stame.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
I got to meet the Pope and recently.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's what I want to talk to you about. I'm
gonna talk to you about that. I'm not what I
want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But meanwhile, listen, everyone, please be sure to check out
Chris's new movie Mercy in theaters.
Speaker 3 (15:32):

Speaker 2 (15:33):

D as well.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Chris, thanks so much for hanging out.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Man, brother, My pleasure one hundred percent gray seeing you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
You'll always be super Mario to me, yall.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Mari Courtez a few more songs. I'm gonna make a
quick stop in a Quartos corner for a fresh live
hack or two.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Any hints on what we're going to learn.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Today, honey, Ways to boost your twenty twenty six productivity.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Oh okay, I like that Quartos corner coming up next?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Omoro Courtney Lopez stopping into Quartos corner for a fresh
live hacker too. As my wife just mentioned, today's all
about boosting productivity.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Right, I am about it? Or what's up about it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Here are two high impact accountability life hacks to boost
your twenty twenty six productivity. Number one is leverage anti
charity stakes. Turn your goals into a financial commitment. Research
shows that the pain of loss is often more motivating
than the reward of gain.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like I hate to lose more than I like winning,
so yes, right.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So the hack use a service like stick the app
to put a set amount of money on the line
for specific goal like example, for example, one hundred dollars
if I don't hit ten thousand steps today, okay, like
charge yourself?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Got it?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Practice Body doubling. Body doubling is a productivity hack where
you work alongside someone else, even if you aren't working
on the same project. So the presence of another person
serves as a gentle social anchor that keeps you from
wandering off task. So kind of like an accountability partner.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I like that.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
All right, You're more than.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Welcome to go up to someone at the gym who
you don't know and just work beside him and see
if they.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Know mirror what you're doing.

After some quick food buzz, Progresso has brought back its
quirky sour Drop, releasing two new hard candy flavors, Tomato
Basil and beef pot Roast, alongside the returning chicken noodle version.
That's Wild soup flavor candies. First launch back in January
sold out under an hour. New drops went on sale
this week. Progresso plans to keep releasing sour Drops every
(18:28):
Thursday through January while supplies last.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I haven't even heard of this. This is crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
So you say tomato, I say tomato, You say Basil,
I say basil.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Well it's basil.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
It's basil.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
He said Basil.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Well that's wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
That's to be confused with Tony Basil the artist. I'm
Mario Courtney Lopez. Lots more music and fun headed your way. Also,
I wanted to mention this if you're expecting a baby
this year, Nope, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Might want hey, never say never. You might want to
check out this new research from Baby Center. Some once
popular baby names are headed for extinction or at least
out of popularity, like which ones.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, this just made me laugh because I had a
dermatologista appointment today and she was asking me questions, are
you allergic to this?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
No? Are allergic to that?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Are you pregnant? I gave a definite hell no, I've
never met this woman before she started laughing. Anyway, names
inspired by places like London, Brooklyn, Dallas, and even Boston
are losing steam.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So no Paris either, No Paris either.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
As our names starting with the letters D and K,
so say goodbye Danielle, Dylan, Kinley, and Carum. Those creative
non traditional spellings of names, For example, spellings the normal
Charlie would now be Cha, R, L, E, I, G
H are dropping fast as well as parents move back
towards more traditional spelling.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Thank goodness, that seemed like a dome experiment.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
But you're just constantly repeating yourself and correcting people. It's annoying.

three feet at the shoulders. Wow, that is tall. Minnie
is one inch shorter than the tallest male dog.

Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
A Great Dane named Reggie. Even with all that height, she's.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Still into the simple stuff, toys on the floor, long walks,
and cruising in the car.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I'll tell you it's not Minnie her poop.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Nope, that that is going to be first thing I
think of Great Dane.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Going are massive, and I think there's a weird thing
with them too. They don't know it, so they act
like small dogs, like knock stuff over. But yeah, that's
the first thing I think about too. They're having to
pick that up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
They're really really big.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Random thought. I'm really mad Eric Dane didn't name his
child great.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
