and of course wash your hands with soap and water
for at least twenty seconds. I always say, if it's
third degree hot, you're good.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Congrats more Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
You're a Mario Courtney Lopez. Keep the music and fun
coming your way. As Cordo tries to make us think
with a random thought, oh what you got?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, eyelashes are meant to keep things from getting
into our eyes, but whenever I have something in my eye,
it's almost always an eyelash, isn't it ironic?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh you threw in a random thought with a little
joke right there. Yeah, it is kind of weird.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
It like stabs you.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
It does. And then sometimes it gets deep and you
got to really kind of dig in there.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
And you think you're working it out one way, and
then it goes to the other and then you're like
someone's like.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Look at my eye drive an eyelash, and they're like.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Looking like like I stuff is like one of the
things I can't deal with. Oh really, I used to
work with someone who would purposely touch their eyeball in
front of me and just a mess.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
With m I love some vizine no Vizy do that,
Oh you're touching your eye? Vizine is that Vizine is
the hero for all that kind of stuff gets out everything.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
All.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's still so much to get to more in Courtney Lopez,
You're gonna talk about see movies a little later this hour,
so Hank tied for that. Also speaking of movies, then
to talk Oscar nominations in a bit as well.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
And it's not too late for a January reset. If
you don't know what that is, we'll break it down
for you shortly as well. In the meantime, let's get
back to the music.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Amar Courtney Lopez. So have you ever burped your home? Yeah?
I know it sounds weird, but it's a trend that's
catching on. It's basically just people cracking their windows for
five to ten minutes a day to flush out stale
indoor air and let fresh winter air roll in. It's
such a funny expression, burping your home, but I like it.
This trend is inspired by a German practice called lifting,

(09:53):
and experts say it actually helps release moisture, carbon dioxide,
and chemicals from cleaners and air fresheners that start to
build up throughout the day. I'll bring it up because
a lot of people are trying to do this as
part of the January reset.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
I like this. January always feels like the reset month.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's when we start everything over right, not just for routines,
but for how you want things to feel day to day.
Not a complete overhaul, but just a few upgrades that
make you feel a little bit more dialed in. So
burp your house or do like I did recently and
hit up our amazing friends at Macy's. I always love
doing a little refreshing with the pillows and the throw

(10:30):
blankets after Christmas. It just starts the year off a
little differently. I also decided to refresh my wardrobe a
bit too. You don't know that yet, Mario, but I'm
telling you now. Although I did not refresh my bag
with the new Coach Crystal signature Chakard bag collection that
I definitely walked by a few times, I did pick
up a couple fresh denim styles for the kids, just

(10:51):
to update the outfits they already have. And like brands
like Levi's, Oh My Favorite pair of Jeans or.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Levi's, Macy's the perfect place for adding a pop up
person to everyday winter looks and just as funding into spring,
from fresh styles, standout accessories to new fragrances. Explore your
local Macy store for inspiration.

Speaker 1 (11:08):

Speaker 4 (12:13):
I will in Chocolate time for some mussy movies.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
You're Mario Courtney Lopez Kordo, quickly breaking down with new
in theaters this weekend.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
What do we get?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
So just one this weekend, we have Mercy, Chris Pratt,
Rebecca Ferguson It's said in the near future and Advanced
AI judge tells a captive detective that he's on trial
for the murder of his wife and if he fails
to prove his innocence within ninety minutes, he will be
executed on the spots.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Ooh, well, we just had Chris on the show and
here's what he told us about the film.

Speaker 9 (12:44):
Yeah, it was a different challenge. I mean, the team
more bit buck membertop our director. I worked with him
on Wanted years and years ago, and he's always been
on the cutting edge of visual storytelling, like you know,
really developing new technologies, and he did it on this
movie as well. So a lot it's called the screen
life film, So everything you see is me on trial. Yeah,
and then every interaction I have with everybody is with

(13:06):
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 three years in the future.

(13:28):
And so it was a challenge. I mean it was
a challenge. 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. Yeah, 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 doorboard camera a sequence, you know.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
So it was different.

Speaker 9 (13:44):
And then the big challenge was just being stuck in
the chair and going for long takes, like fifty sixty
minutes long.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Wow. Yeah, he sat in the chair through the whole movie. Oh, literally,
the whole movie. He is on trial, he's only got
ninety minutes. It's a wild concept.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
He said he couldn't scratch his face while they were shooting.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, that's wild right there.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
More Mario Lopez coming.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Up, Yah Mario Courtney Lopez quick reminder before the week
wraps up, but his National Passenger Safety Week and Triple
A is reminding us as safety on the roadway is
a shared responsibility. Speak up if the driver is speeding, distracted,
or engaging in other risky behaviors.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Of course, do your part in don't purposely distract the driver.
As for team drivers, talk to them about what safe
behavior in a car is all about, with strict rules
about seat belts, phone use, and speed limits. Yes, our nie,
our niece recently was in a very bad car accident
and because she had her seatbelt on, it saved her life.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
It saved her life.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, y'all, Mario Lopez got a fake debate coming up
in just two or three songs, So you got to
pick your side, Team Mario or Team Cordo. Back to
find out who's pro and who's con and what we're
debating next. All right, time for a weekly fake debate
where the topics are made up on the spot, but
the passion is real. Mario and Courtney Lo Pez here
all right, Fraser, who's pro? Who's con?

Speaker 5 (15:02):
You will be pro? Courtney will be con you fifteen
seconds to make your case.

Home Qwatney, you know.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Fifteen seconds to make your case, ten second rebuttal afterwards.
Your topic today is Arctic blast.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Arctic blast. I am pro arctic blasts. Are you know
what the world could use a good cleansing right now?
And the Arctic blast is just what the Lord delivered
right at the perfect time. Shakes us up, cleans us out,
really puts things into perspective priority straight.

Speaker 7 (15:42):
I think you're misunderstanding.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
You're thinking about when you go to the bathroom and
you have an Arctic blast, not just cleaning out our gut,
in our our you know.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
System, mister Lopez, your pro Arctic blast.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
First of all, don't be jealous in a hater just
because I don't the restroom. That sort of envy is
not becoming of you.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Thank you, mis Lo.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
I really can't argue with that, because that is a fact,
that is the truth and I just think the Arctic
Blast is something that people don't want.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
They go crazy and grocery stores.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Come on, you're both wrong. This was about the Mountain
dew flavor.
