Time to make it a little weird and sneak into
my wife's brain.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Time for Quardo's random thought, which you got money?

Speaker 7 (03:50):
Everything is weird about this, including you. You know, the
oven has a window, microwaves two you can see all
the way through a blender. But the dishwasher, oh no,
you cannot see in there. So why do they refuse
to let us see what is going on behind the dishwasher?

Speaker 2 (04:09):

Kim stow Brick, You ain't lying.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
That fool is the luckiest, luckiest, most blessed individual in
the entertainment business.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Keep in mind that dude just got back from a
free trip to Italy with you.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Then there's major and then there's major perps that he gets.

the side and say that dude's stealing money over there.
He doesn't get paid to work, he gets paid to wait,

a full sized humanoid robot to clean apartments. Oh my

expensive machine, users just to order one through an app

the dishes, wiping surfaces, scrubbing floors, make your bed folds,
the laundry, all housekeeping chores.

live heck, can you give.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Quardo?

Speaker 7 (09:04):
All right, well, we're gonna talk about the one food
you should add to your diet to increase brain function,
saying that I forgot to take mine today.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh my gosh, al Mario Courtney Lopez quick stop into
Quardo's corner. What you got for us, honey?

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Today we're talking about how strawberries can make you more
productive and increase brain function. I love strawberries. A study
from San Diego State University says that eating four strawberries
a day can improve how your brain functions. So the
study found that eating twenty six grams of freeze dried
strawberry powder made from freshberries every day for eight weeks

(09:42):
led to a better performance on cognitive test for memory,
attention and problem solving. So there's other health benefits as well.
The strawberries also help lower blood pressure and increase disease
fighting antioxidants in the blood.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And strawberries are also delicious.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I wonder if this would be the case for other
beingsries like blackberries, blueberries, or is the specifically berries.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Other berries do have antioxidants and stuff. I don't know
if it's the song.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
All berries are great for you, but this one I'm
specifically singling out the strawberry.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, Mario Lopez, We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (10:16):

Spice Girls more when she when's this nuts? Saba Mario

legendary girl group of Spies Girls. Melanie, see how you

(11:08):
do them?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
I'm good? How are you?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm Well, I'm excited because you just released through a
ninth solo album. It's called Sweat. It's a true dance album,
which I can appreciate.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Can you hear in the club? Get your groove on?
What inspired this sound?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (11:24):
So many things, but I think the biggest inspiration for
this album has been DJing.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I've been out there for the last eight years.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Alongside working as a live artist with my band, I've
also been djink and I'd be there at different festivals
all over the world, and it just reignited this passion
that I have.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
For dance music, which I discovered like in my late teens.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
Yeah, So it was just it was really important for
me to try and bring my world's closer together as
an artist.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
And a DJ.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Djing's so much fun and it's so different now the
way it's sort of evolved in the video too. For may,
I said, you're an incredible shape. When did healthy with you, I'm.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Just checking out these guns as a speaking.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, thank you, very nice. But health and fitness clearly
a top priority.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Oh yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
Obviously, going all the way back to the beginning being
sporty spice, fitness has always been a really big part
of my life, and you know it helps me in
so many ways, not only physically but mentally. And Yeah,
as I've got older, I just I've been having more
fun with that part of myself and wanted to lean
into the sporty fitness and there's so much crossover.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
It's been really fun.

Speaker 8 (12:29):
Like lyrically, the sports really works with club culture as well,
so it was it was a really fun, fun project.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
I love songs that you can dance to too, especially
with summer right here. It seems to be perfect timing.
All right, MELSI is with us a few more songs and
we're going to come back and talk more.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
More fun on the way on with Mario Lopez.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Mel Seeing hanging out with us as sur Mario Lopez.
Your ninth solo album, Sweat, just dropped, and you're heading
out on a world tour as well Canada, US, Europe, Asia.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
What new songs are you looking forward to bring to
the stage.

Speaker 8 (13:02):
Oh, I mean this whole album. I'm so excited to
bring it to life. I really want to approach these
shows quite differently. I want to look at it more
as like a DJ set than a band. Set, so
that just could do so much more scope to have
to have some samples in there to get a bit
of spicing as well.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
So they're going to be like really energetic and lively.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
The show's fun. All right, HANGK time little music and
we're going back with some more Melcy. Oh, Maria Lopezz
got Spice Girl mel c on zoom with us. And
speaking of which, I saw in your ig your bandmate
mel B joined you on stage the other week and
you did a couple of Spice Girl songs live.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
That had to be a special moment.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Oh, honestly, it was incredible.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
I couldn't believe that we've never actually been on stage
together unless it was a Spice Girl show because Emma before,
I've even got up with Victoria and Jerry at little occasions,
but me and Melan never done it. And like we
have this affinity on stage right, We're both from the
North of England, you know, there's something about the personality
of the people in those places, like we really.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Go for it with super energetic performers.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
So to be back on stage and she was there
at my show, I was celebrating the release of the
album she came. I was in her home city. I
was in Leeds. She jumped up with me and it
was so special. I think there was only about It
was such a small show, about eight hundred capacity. Wow,
so that I come because you can imagine, like my solo shows,
it's all Spice Girls slands.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
So for them that was such a special.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Man, I've had the two males. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
All right, we'll hang to a few more songs and
we're going to come back with some more Spice Girls.
Mel Ce hanging out on Zoom. You're all Mari Lopez
and speaking of Spice Girls, I can't believe this year
is the thirtieth anniversary of the release of your debut album.
The single Wanna Be a huge hit all over in
thirty seven countries. As a matter of fact, do you
remember most about that particular time.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
I just remember how exciting it was.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
And we were just like in this whirlwind, like coult
up in this where will wind right back this week.
We were could have in this whirlwind and we were
traveling all over the world because one of the things
when we got together as a band, we wanted to
be international. You know, we all love to travel, and
we wanted to break the whole world and we did,
you know, and I think especially for British acts to

(15:17):
have success in America, it's tough, you know, not a
lot of people do it, and we achieve that and
we just we were having the time of our lives.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Hi Bet, And I love that you all remain close
in Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
We do.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I think we're kind of closer than ever. You know.

Speaker 8 (15:31):
I think when you get older, you really appreciate everyone
and everything in your life, right, so especially for Spice Girls,
because we all know, without having the Spice Girls, we
wouldn't have gone on to have the lives and the
careers that we've had as individuals.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
So we do fully appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, all right, one more thing I want to ask
quick break and we're going to come back and wrap
it up.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
We're the full interview now on with Mario Doug more
Mario Lopez on the way.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Wrapping up with mel C Mario Lopez here before you go,
I gotta say the Spice Girls as a not to
disparage any other boy bands out there, but you girls
seems to have really done a good job of sort
of parlaying it into your next act in life.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
So kudos team.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, thank you so much.

Speaker 8 (16:11):
I think you know there was there was so much
love for the Spice Girls in the nineties that it
really did enable us to carry on and do things
as individuals.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
So yeah, that's an amazing thing.

Mario Courtney Lopez. Interesting reddit post caught my attention. Someone
on it asked, what's a sound you hear that instantly
makes you angry for no logical reason. Well, answers rolled
in or here are a few of the most popular responses.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
That loud throbbing sound when you only have one window
open in.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
The car, Why does that happen? I want to know
why that happens.

Speaker 7 (17:24):
I know your son taught me which one dominic? What
did you say you have to open another window to
even out the pressure?

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yes, and that works. It is a pressure issue.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
I did not know that.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, look at him. Okay, that school's paying off. That
is a very annoying sound.

Speaker 7 (17:42):
But it's very annoying because it hurts.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
Actually, right, the chirp of.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
A dying battery and a smoke detective, not just that
it always decides to die it like three in the morning.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's always in the middle of the night and you
can't find it.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
You can't find it, you can't get the battery to change,
or sometimes I'll rip it out.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
Of the wall.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Those are the top two. They did a good job.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Wherever they pull styrofoam, rubbing on styrofoam.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I can't really read that one. That's bad.

Speaker 7 (18:08):
It's just a sound that's like nails.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
On a chalkboard. First tour are they knocked it out
of the park.

Speaker 7 (18:13):
This is another one. People having loud conversations on speakerphone.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, sometimes if you like it's kind of fun.

Speaker 7 (18:20):
No, it's never fun. And can I add one to this?
My husband wants to show me videos in public and
it's on full volume. Some people are eating around us,
and I say, please turn it down. Lot hear it
because I'm embarrassed, But he doesn't care. Like doesn't that
that's an old person thing.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
Also, lip smacking and chewing with your mouth open, Yeah,
that's just gross.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
More Mario Lopez on the way, you're all with Mario

real radio show, and your resignation has been denied.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's true, that's true. We're going all the way back.
Quard out to this week. In two thousand and one,
Shuggy Snag the biggest song in the country with this
My you.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
In up Deep Lot.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
My favorite part of that song is when Shaba Ranks comes.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's the Magatine hold.

Speaker 9 (19:26):
On things mission complete question.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
It wasn't bad, right, I remember shop that was the best.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Mario Lopez here getting close to the end of our
radio fun. Just one last thing to get to, plus
probably enough time to play a request or two before
I get out of here. So if you got a
song you want to hear, hit me up at all
Mario on x Joe Mario Lopez quickly getting one last thing.
Two thirds of us own a pet. The breakdown is
forty four percent have a dog, about thirty percent have

(20:06):
a cat. And then there are some alternative pets too,
guinea pigs, rabbits and by the way, they're smarter than
you might think. They can learn to respond to their names.
And they're all kinds of exotic animals.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
Right.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yes, some people have fancy rats or actual rats. Yes,
and they call them pocket dogs. They apparently love to cuddle.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Rats are supposed to be smart too, but no, thank you.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Yeah, you don't like them as you're afraid of them,
I believe. Then there's pot belly pigs, yes.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
But when you pick them up that squeal as high pitch.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yes, they are highly intelligent though, and they're actually very clean.
There are pig rescues always trying to find homes for those.
You can check those out on Instagram. There's Esther the
Wonder Pig who's kind of famous, prissy pig who's always
dressed up in outfits. And then Pickles the pig who's
been on GMA and The Today Show, two networks.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
If you're going to adopt the pig, you have to
have a real yard with grass, yes, because they're little
hoofs don't do well on concrete, on hard surfaces like
hardwood floors.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, they need to kind of sink, so just keep
that in mind.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
More Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
All right, that's it, Thanks so much for joining us. Also,
thanks to mel C from the Spice Girls. You can
hit up Allmara dot com to relive any and all
of our radio fund including my full chat with her,
and we will be back to do.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
It again tomorrow. Till then, Mario Lopez saying good night
