Weston Moore.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
He spent months quietly holding onto something most kids would
have spent right away reward points that he earned for
good behavior at school, because he heard that a bicycle
will be raffled off at the end of the year,
so he decided he wanted to win it for a
younger sister, Addison. She had been hoping for a bike
a ron. His parents only learned about the plant just
before Christmas. After getting a call from the school, They
soon realized Weston had been saving his point since the

(00:56):
start of the school year and never told anyone what
he was planning. After packing up the bike, quest and
set up the surprise himself, placing it in the backyard
and sending his sister outside. The touching moment got nine
million views, actually over nine million views on social media,
but his parents are trying to keep the focus on
the kindness behind the gesture, not the attention that it's receiving.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
What a well raised young man, what a nice kid
Weston is now being that I have kids that are
constantly at each other's throats. I'm sure him and Addison
still go at it, but he still went above and beyond,
and at the end of the day, you do love
your siblings.

and one hundred of the smartest, competing for five million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Wait, a second Beast Games had a thousand contestants.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I think the first season they started off with a thousand.
I'm assuming they eliminated a lot quickly.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
We would have to how do you keep up even
one hundreds.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Of a lot?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Though Wild Netflix begins streaming season two have Unlocked a
jail experiment. Season two moves the experiment to Arizona, where
Sheriff Ross Teeple implements a six week program unlocking cell
doors in a new pod, giving inmates significant control to
foster self regulation.

(03:13):
on the Quarto. Today's case comes from Amber over in Orlando.
She says, my bff and I decided at the end
of the year that we would both get healthy and
fit in the new year, starting jan one, no excuses.
First two days were great, but day three she bailed.
And I won't go into details, but I caught her
lying about why she couldn't work out, And then today,
day four, she's still lying. Do I confront her because

(03:34):
it's really bothering me.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
No, worry about yourself. Get yourself fit, get yourself feeling better,
because at the end of the day, you are in you.
As I say, here's the only thing.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Here's the only thing. I say, You're in you. She
is she herself. Here's the thing. I say. She is
the bff. So she obviously really cares about her, and
you work out with your friend to help keep you accountable. Sure,
so I think she tells her once, maybe even twice.

(04:08):
Come on, we got to keep each other honest. Let's
get into it. After twice, then I'd leave it alone.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, I mean, you can say something to her if
you really are good friends with her. But at the end, yeah,
but at the end of the day, if she doesn't
want to do it, you can't make her do it.

that expression. A bum crumb? Is that from like the twenties? No,

the seventies. That's a good term. It's a good one.
I'm like, wow that because you're not just a bumb,
but you're a crumb of a bum.

And what were TikTok's favored food trends of the last year?
New Lists Just drop Back can break it down next

(13:27):
you're a Mario Lopez New Lists Just drop TikTokers and
instagrammers revealing their favorite food trends of twenty twenty five,
and these five items top their best of lists. I'm
sure I've tried a lot of these. What are they?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, you guys, I think over on your show Access
they make you try a lot of things. Kebabs with
slow roasted meat. It's healthy and delicious.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Wait a minute that's been around forever. That's not a what. Yeah,
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Some of these seem like just generic things, but for
some reason, TikTokers have discovered them and loved them now
and I guess talk about them all the time.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Bob's been around forever. Bob's have been around forever, and
they are delicious. But okay, onion ring chips made with
onions and cheese. They have that junk food crunch. Okay,
so there's something kind of new that's.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Kind of new, and that's definitely junk food, but I'm
sure delicious. I love an onion ring. An onion ring
is underrated because you don't see them too often, but
when you get them, you're like, oh dang, Yeah, I'm
not a big fan of onions, but I will eat
onion rings. I love onions and onion rings.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
I also love onions, if anyone wanted to know that,
like too. Here's one that's older, not really new, but
Philly cheese steaks found new life on TikTok. I didn't
know they needed to find a new life because people
eat them all the time. Of course, topped with cheese.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Whiz. Wait, that's been around literally since I've been alive.
I remember having it as a little kid. And if
you go anywhere in the Pennsylvania area, they always put
cheese wizzard. They give the option to do it. I
think I'm mad with these kids.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I think that this younger generation has this idea that
they're discovering everything for the first time when they're not
yogurt bowls with chocolate shells. It's healthier than ice cream.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Oh that I haven't tried, but that also sounds pretty good,
not bad.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Dubai tacos filled with beef, cheese, cinnamon, coffee, jalapenos, and
other toppings. It's like a loaded smash burger, but in
a taco shell.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh, I wonder what's the Dubai in there? All right?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
More Mario Lopez coming up?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Ah, Mario Lopez. More music in a seg. But first,
Fraser's got a random thought for us. What do you got?
You have dogs?

Speaker 3 (15:24):
I have dogs, And there is nothing more humbling than
when you hand a dog a treat and they're like, thanks,
I'm gonna have this in the other room and they
just scurry off.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
They don't want you messages, They don't really say thanks,
They just leave, don't yeah, they don't say, they don't
say much, but they do leave. I think, I think,
perhaps I'd like to think they don't want to make
a mess in front of you, so they don't do
it in out of space and stuff. But yeah, it's
rare that they're just gonna PLoP and just get down
on it. They'll they'll have it in another room. So
close to the end of the nine for us, Mario Lopez,

(15:52):
you gotta squeeze in one last thing. We'd love to
squeeze in a request or two before we get out
of here.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Got something you want to hear? Slide into our dms
over on Instagram at On with Mario Lopez and please
click follow to join the fan.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Romoro Courtney Lopez. Time for one last thing coming at
you with another wellness trend. This one is showering in
the dark. Apparently, users swear showering in the dark helps
you relax, better, unwind, and reset their nervous system. Some
say it even works for chronic pain and overstimulating environments.

(16:27):
They say, ditch the music, you're just supposed to hear
the sound of water, and by showering the dark it
helps stimulate. Melowtonin in signal the body it's time to
go to sleep now. I say, if you're prone to falling,
don't try this. Outside of that, I kind of I
could kind of see it. What about a bath in
the dark, You're really getting, you really getting somewhere. See.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I think that makes sense. The shower part seems dangerous.
It seems like you coulch star lip or you could
trip or like you maybe not pitch.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Dark, but maybe like like a little candlelight or something,
slip or trip.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
I mean, were you running, Like what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I know, I'm just saying, like, I don't know, you
could slip or something. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
You're not seeing that's that's true.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
But at least you can see like you can you're
aware of what's around you. I guess.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
I I think that's a great idea. I love having
moments of silence and darkness.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I think it just makes me happy.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
More Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's it. Thanks so much for hanging out with us.
As always, all Mario dot Com to relive any in
all of our radio fun More fun tomorrow till then.
