On with Mario pop quiz.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
All right, okay, okay, here we go. Hops Oh no,
giuse me, calm down, Calm down, Here we go. First question,
in what year was the first presidential election held? Was
it seventeen seventy six, seventeen seventy seven, seventeen eighty one,
or seventeen eighty nine?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Mario, seventeen seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
That is incorrect.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh, I said that with confidence, too.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Accordey seventy six incorrect. Seventeen eighty nine George Washington was elected.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Okay, that much after, somebody I knew would be after.
I thought it would be immediately after. But okay, okay,
they waited a little bit, can educated guests in al Jon,
all right.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
In eighteen forty nine, a future president was granted a
patent for inventing a method of increasing the buoyancy of
a boat, which of these presidents holds this patent. Fillmore, Buchanan,
Lincoln or Grant. That's Courtney Buchanan. That is incorrect. Would
you have the choice Grant, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant or Buchanan.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Did Grant in the middle of the Civil Wars just
start inventing something? I don't think so? Or did he?

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Are you guessing Grant?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm thinking out the process.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yes, he's guessing Grant incorrect. Abraham Lincoln Rea, Abraham Lincoln.
When he was he built a float boat for twenty
four dollars, loaded it with produce, and it kept it
running aground. So he built the system to keep it
to balance it out on the water. Is twenty four
dollars back then, that was a lot of money. A
lot of money, all right? One more in this round?

(05:02):
Which first lady essentially served as a secret president after
her husband suffered a severe stroke.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
According she had white hair.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I need a name. June Carter incorrect?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Is this multiple choice?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
June Carter was a singer who married Johnny Cash.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is this a multiple choice or now?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh, Lady bir Johnson incorrect Edith Wilson In nineteen nineteen,
Woodrow Wilson suffered a severe stroke. So Wilson, so she
she what happened to the vice president?

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, they didn't tell anyone, so she secretly was just
like making decisions and stuff like that. That's good, Yeah, exactly,
I think it's zero zero. Still, it will take a break,
come back and do some more.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
Okay, more Mario Lopez coming up round two of Our
President's Dave pop Quizer on Mario Courtney Lopez ofcour is
currently zero zero's it's a heated battle.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Normally, Marl's like I'm winning today.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
We're all losing today.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
One question in this let's get our hands on the buzzers.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Who is the only American president to have served more
than two terms in office? Mario? George Washington incorrect?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
How was it not? George Washington?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
George Washington actually refused to do more than two, but
there was there was no law or anything in place
at the time.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
First one would get away with it, Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Lincoln incorrect. Roosevelt's Franklin because Rovelt, Yeah, well that's what
he claimed. But yeah, see I thought I'd go.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
My logic was back then, maybe they didn't establish terms so.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, they didn't, they didn't have them established till later on.
But Roosevelt was actually the reason that they put presidential
term limits in because he was in before then. He
was in for three fold and then almost a fourth.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
So before him, people just decided to only do two.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Basically, Yeah, they wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, it's interesting because I thought, okay, early they wouldn't
establish well.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Because early on they may be dying the well well that,
but also the mentality was they didn't want a they
didn't want someone who was there the whole time.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, right, That's why I thought they would. Yeah, they
would maybe install on that.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay, No, so that came later after someone violated it.
It's still zero zero, Play some music, come back and
do some.

A squirrel incorrect? It was a chicken? Was it a chicken?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Random? Chicken? I thought a squirrel would be random because
a doggy.

Speaker 3 (08:25):

Mario Courtney Lopez one of guess who's selling them those vinyl?

Speaker 4 (09:56):

Speaker 2 (09:58):

six million copies on vinyl. Then Sabrina Carpenter her Homie
came in second with Man's Best Friend. Overall vinyl albums
jump for the nineteenth consecutive year In twenty twenty five,
Geo wasn'tto it for like a hot second.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Well, Gia got it as a gift. She never asked
for it, she got it as a gift from someone.
And then so you know, to piggyback on that gift,
I would get her some vinyls. It lasted for a
hot second novel.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Just on your phone, so much easier, just more convenient.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well, I like, I have a turntable and I have
some vinyl stuff, but it's like I'm not gonna go
put that on and then go work out. I'm gonna
listen to my phone. Right.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
So at twenty twenty six, the year that Romance returns,
You're on with Mario and Courtney Lopez, and retro romancing
is trending all about bringing back old school romance and
gestures like holding doors, bringing flowers, handwritten love notes, phone
calls over text. Homemade Meals was coined by a dating
site Plenty of Fish, and was inspired by the way

(11:04):
earlier generations dated before everything became digital and instant. So
when I was talking to Zuri Hall, one of my
correspondents on Access Hollywood, the topic was like dating now,
and I didn't realize, like she was telling me.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
It was something about should.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Demand always paid for the first eight She's like, I've
been going fifty to fifty for so many times she's
been I go, what fifty third? Yes, what's the matter?
I didn't even realize that was like an option anymore?

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Do they talk about that first or is it a surprise?

Speaker 2 (11:36):

be doing it. But I was taken aback by She's like,
you know what, Mark, all these you know has struggle
out here with these guys. Everybody's got a I go, no,
well then he In my mind, you don't have business
taking a girl out. If you don't have money to
take her out, that's a weird move.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Do something more creative that doesn't cost going a picnic,
or like cook dinner at your house or yeah, or
cook Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
But I also back to the you know open did

Speaker 2 (13:38):
You're all Mario Courtney Lopez, a few more songs. I'm
gonna make a quick stop in a Quartos corner for
a fresh live hack or two. Any hints on what
we're gonna learn today, Honey.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Ways to boost your twenty twenty six productivity.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh okay, I like that Quartos corner coming up next?
Oh Mario Courtney Lopez stopping into Quartos corner for a
fresh live hacker too? Has my wife just mentioned? And
today's all about boosting productivity? Right?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
I am about it?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Car?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
What's up about it?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
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 (14:26):
Yes, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's like I hate to lose more than I like winning.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
So yes, right, So the hack use a service like
stick the app to put a set amount of money
on the line for a specific goal, like example, for example,
one hundred dollars if I don't hit ten thousand steps today, okay,
like charge yourself, got it? Practice Body doubling. Body doubling
is a productivity hack where you work alongside someone else,

(14:54):
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 2 (15:04):
I like that. I like that.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
All right, You're more than welcome to go up to
someone at the gym who you don't know and just
work beside him and see if they know.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Mirror what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
More. Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Mario Lopez here with a quick reminder that you can
listen to this show and podcast for him. We take
out the music to give you a quick daily dose
of fun and we're funny. You just search on with
Mario on your heart radio app or wherever you get podcasts, y'all,
Mark Courtney Lopez almost time to pass the mic, but
not before we get to one last thing. All about
a record breaking pooch that's coming up next.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Ya Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Getting ready to wrap up and head home, but not
before we squeeze in one last thing. A Great Dane
in Connecticut ironically named Minnie. I like that. Yeah, I
like him, Like chubby dudes are named slim.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, stuff like that, the ironic nicknames. Yes.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, anyway, Minnie just earned the Guinness Worlds you record
as the tallest female dog in the world.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh, so we're.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Getting very specific here, towering well over three feet at
the shoulders. Wow, that is tall. Minnie is one in
shorter than the tallest male dog. Oh a Great Dane
named Reggie. Even with all that height, she's still into
the simple stuff, toys on the floor, long walks, and
cruising in the car. I'll tell you it's not Minnie
her poop. Nope, that is going to be first thing

(16:24):
I think of great Dane is going to.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Be 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 2 (16:35):
They're really really big.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Random thought.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
I'm really mad Eric Dane didn't name his child great.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
