for Courtney's a random question. What you got, honey?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Would you rather go to jail for thirty days or
go to jail with the Rubik's Cube and you can
leave whenever.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
You solve it? This might be your most incredible question.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean it like it just came to me one night.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I well, can I go to jail and do I have?
In other words, if I solve it before the thirty days,
I can get it.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah, you get out as soon as you solve it.
But if you don't solve it before thirty you stay
until you solve it.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh see, that's no, that's not it. I've never no, no, no, no,
neither of No. Thirty days turn into thirty years.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Three days, you don't get out.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
No, no, you either go for thirty days get out,
or you go with a Rubic's cube and you get
out when you solve it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
No, Oh my gosh. No, I would have to well
hold on. If I got to do like some YouTube tutorials,
I for like the winning prie, if I could do that.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Prior to doing that, he was collecting rubuks cubes and
then going on the internet.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm like, that's not how that works. If I got
to study and do research, then yes.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Otherwise, if you got to study but not actually try
it until you were in jail.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh gosh, no, no, no, honey, you resk. You wouldn't
see me for like a year, you know what.

I will take it with ten rubik scubes, and I'd
have to get to them all and be heavy.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
No more fun on the way on with Mario Lopez.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
You're all Mario, accordingly Lopez, no doubt. Baby name trends
come and go, but according to the government, there are
a handful of names that are basically timeless. Social Security
Administration has been recording name popularities since eighteen eighty six.
Names have remained in the top fifty every year. Almost
all her boy names too. What do we have money?

We have David James, John Joseph, and will I am
William William and the one girl name is Elizabeth.

Speaker 1 (02:21):

The reason boys are more likely to be named after relatives.
Girls tend to get trend of your names.

in the eighties. God bless her.

hit the talk back button on the bottom of your
Heart radio A.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
What up?

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Mario Courtney Lopez here with this list I've found controversial.
I gotta say the ten or songs from the eighties
according to Rolling Stone Magazine, All right, let's hear money
number ten never going to give you. First of all,
stop right there, this list has lost all credibility. That
is an awesome song, Rick Ghastly. Of course, it's corny,

(10:15):
but it's cool corny and it stood the test of time,
and you see it in so many movies and TV.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Come on, he's never gonna let you down, desert you.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
That's the kind of guy you want. As a leader.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Number nine, putting on the rits.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I was never a big fan of that, so okay,
I get that.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Number eight, Hey Mickey, you're so fun, You're so fue
you blow my mind.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hey Mickey, that was a fun, cheerleading type of song
and had a moment. There's a lot worse than that.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Number seven.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Don't worry, be happy, don't tworry, be happen Now. That
does get on your nerves after a while. I don't
know if it's the worst though.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Number six rock Me Amadeus.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
I don't know this one going rod do Do Do
Do Do Do It's it's okay you're German.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
It was, it was, it was okay, yeah, okay, okay.
That that that I can say.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
It's good for like a listener to, but it can
get old quick.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
You're choking. Number five The safety dance.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
What is the safety?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
I just mean that we can dance if you want to.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
What it is we can dance if.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
You want to leave you all friends behind and if
you don't dance, and if you don't dance, there's no
friends of mine. The lyrics definitely are one of the worst.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Number four, wake me up.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Before you go.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Are you out of your mind? That's a great song.
I didn't make this, so I know what I'm saying.
Come on, Rolling Stone, that is a great song. It
screams eighties and that's what put Wham on the map.
Come on, Bavid, move inside. We'll go danceing tomorrow. Not
it's called out there, but it is. Womany Come on,
those are great.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Everyone has changed the station. Number three, Lady Ward to cheek.
She's dumb, sing weird.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's a little schmaltzy, all right.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Number two it's the final count down.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
It's cheesy, but that's a that's a terrible it's but
it's fun. It's a fun cheesy so yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
And then number one, your favorite. It's always on the
playlist on repeat.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
We built this city, that is okay. I can agree
with that.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I think we built this city on rock and rule.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, those lyrics are absolutely horrible.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
A lot of these.

Speaker 2 (12:30):

All Mario Lopez back to the music in a sec,
but wanted to mention this. If you think that aliens, Bigfoot,
and the Lockness Monster are real, well and you're not alone.
New study from you Gov says aliens have the most believers,
with fifty six percent of Americans saying they either definitely
or probably exist Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Those believers come in second,

(13:34):
followed by the yetti that's the same thing kind of yeah, yeah,
just the winter version. About a third of us say
UFO sightings are proof of alien spacecraft, but others think
they're natural phenomena, secret military technology, or optical illusions. There
was a really good dock called the Age of Disclosure,
where a lot of high level, serious people from both
sides of the aisle pretty much confess that they have

(13:56):
evidence and the government co signs that aliens are out
there now. Whether they're chilling amongst us, that remains to
be seen. But it did make you pause. In Fake
Lopez Mario Courtney Lopez with some quick buzz. According to
a survey of single Americans, healthcare is the most attractive career.
Doctors and nurses make the best partners. After that, education

(14:20):
and finance were highly attractive careers to singles. Well, I guess,
so you stay healthy and you're making money.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I mean, I would think any career would be attractive.
If you're sitting home on your couch, I'd be like
a ew. Well, they also found out that the most
of us want to be an equal bread winner with
our partners. I'm good and work a life balance is
very attractive to most of us.

Be patient or the zoo heist was a success.

Speaker 2 (15:23):

that as we keep the music coming your way. Got
a song you want to hear, Please hit me up
on Facebook add on with Mario, Almaro, Courtney Lopez. Just
en time for one last thing. I ran across something

(16:29):
on Instagram that made me laugh. Turns out that David Silver,
the character that Brian Austin Green played on nine O
two and oh back in the day, sounds exactly like
another TV star when he sang on the show one
of my all time favorite characters, Cartman from South Park.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I meet you, I meet you in.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
This is awful. They put this on the show.

Speaker 2 (17:02):

was totally awesome. I love it. Oh gosh, that was real.
And he does sound exactly like Cartman. I wasn't trying
to be funny. He literally sounds like and Cartman. I
love that's singing. Not so much, by the way, I
forgot that he's saying because I happened Nobrian from all
those years he was really into rap Yes, he was
