About a few of the new things hitting te the

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Love Is Blind Sweden Season three premiere of that on
Netflix features a fresh group of Swedish singles entering the
pods to find meaningful connections beyond physical appearance.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know, Love is Blind, so we'll see yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season four on Hulu.
This season ramps up the drama with the group's rising
celebrity status pulling them in different directions. With Taylor announce
as the bachelor Lorette, and Jen and Whitney heading off
to Dancing with the Stars. All the competition creates chaos,
temptations arise, and tradition turns upside down.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, you know, it's going to be interesting to see
Taylor as the bachelorette.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
She's got three kids, two different baoble.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
That's kind of moremonish, yes, but with two different baby daddies,
that's not.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's not. That's a lot for a bachelor to take on.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
And The Proof is out There Alien Edition. It's on
History Channel. This is a special UFO focused spinoff edition
of the main series, The Proof Is Out There, hosted
by veteran journalist Tony Harris, examining viral videos, leak footage,
compelling evidence of UFO UIPC editings from around the world.

why are we doing this?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I mean, the proof is out there, you're ald mar Lopez.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
A few more songs are going to make a quick
stop in the Quardo's Corner for a fresh life hacker
too back to see what helpful tip she's got for
us today in ten So, I don't mean Amaro Courtney
Lopez not for another helpful life What you got for
us today in Courtney's corner.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Huh, Well, here's a helpful hack to help you tackle
those household chores you despise the most, which is probably everything.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, So for chores that you don't like.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Like washing a big pile of dishes, set a timer
for four minutes and tell yourself that you will do
it for four minutes, and after the time goes off
you can stop if.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You want to.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Giving yourself an out makes it feel less cumbersome. Even
if you quit after four minutes, you can pick up later.
But typically you'll just keep going because getting started is
usually the hardest part. This is also what I do
with putting away laundry. What I'll do is I'll go, Okay,
every time I walk into the closet, I'll put away
a pile.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I like that, and keep going.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Sometimes I leave, I put away a pile and I leave,
But then I go back and I do more, and
it really helps because it doesn't feel like I have
such a hard day of work.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, spread it out on with Mario dot Com for more.
Mario Lopez returns.

prediction or two ahead of this weekend's oscars. Mario Lopez here.

Speaker 2 (03:17):

Quick look at the buzz to see what's trending. Get more,
but first, more.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Music Oscars going down this Sunday. We've been making predictions.
What category are we going to do right now?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Best Animated feature film? Okay, rc Ilio, Kpop, Demon Hunters,
Little Amili and the Character of Rain or Zutopia too.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh this is tough because Zutopia too. You see your bias? Well, yes,
I am in it.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
However, it did have the largest opening for an animated
film ever, and I believe it might be the largest
grossing yeah, animated film grow only up there tons of records, yes,
but then again Kpop Demon Again also broke tons of
records and has a best selling soundtrack. So it's definitely

(04:07):
down to those two. You know what, I'm gonna go
Kybob Demon Hunters.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
I'm gonna go Zootopia because I am.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Loyal to you. Well, I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
If you win, will you accept in the voice of
your character?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I will at home. What was the voice of your character?
It was me? His voice.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
More Mario Lopez coming up a.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Mario Lopez keeping the music in fun coming your way
as we make a quick digital pit stop and on
Maria dot com so Fraser can tell us what's trending.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Actress Margo Robbie debuting a major hair transformation at Paris
Fashion Week.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You can check out her now completely bald. Is she bold? No,
she's not what she she could pull it off. She
actually could. Probably, She's got such a beautiful face. I'm
sure she bought any hair. Look. I don't believe she
is bald, but you can check out what she did do.
Dawson's Creaks.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Joshua Jackson breaks his silence on the passing of his
friend James Vanderbeek.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, that's very sad, but nice to hear he's gonna
be remembered.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
And Tory Spelling hitting back at some horrific plastic surgery rumors.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's not nice.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Almar dot com for all that and more, you're al
Mario Lopez giving the music and fun coming your way.
So we get ready to ask a random question. In
the meantime, I think we're gonna pregame that with a
random thought.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
What do you got? Frazier?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
So I don't know if you saw this, but this
week there was a headline that said there have been
six Bigfoot sightings or five big Foot sightings and six
days outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Come on, what are the
chances that there would be five big Foot sightings in
a week? The same week that Apple releases a Bigfoot emoji?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh that's funny. Cleveland? To me, isn't that woods your mountainous?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't believe it is like if Bigfoot was like
in the Ozarks or the Redwood Forest or Canada, Alaska,
exact Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland hanging out maybe big Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, maybe well, you.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Know, five of them that's significant. Well, we'll have to
see Mario Lopez. You're wasting no time getting right to
a random question or got pressure speaking of Bigfoot?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Would you rather meet Bigfoot in person, alone in the
woods and get to have a ten minute conversation asking
whatever you want? Or be allowed to ride on bigfoot
shoulders for ten glorious minutes through the forest like a
living monster truck, but then immediately get yeaded into a
river at the ten minute mark.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Oh, I'm gonna get on his shoulders and then get
meeted into the river.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
If you don't want to hear from him. I don't
think he's gonna have much to say.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I can't imagine Bigfoot having a vocabulary or being able
to communicate it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I mean, I may to be shocked. I don't know.
I mean I did see Harry and Henderson's. He didn't speak.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, he didn't speak there, so I don't know about
his verbal skills. But you know, he can run and
that would be fun. That'd be a fun, fun ride.
But you got to get tossed in the deep part
of the river. Yes, and watch out for branches, yes,
kind of Or Mario Lopez coming up, Mario Lopez here

Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
