You're on Mario and Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
And if you've been hitting the gym more as part
of your New Year's resolution, new research might have you
rushing to wash your hands. New study says fingernail swabs
from people who had just finished an hour long workout
showed bacteria levels ten times dirtier than the average toilet seat. Oh,
there is a stat for it. All kinds of germs,
including Stephi, locus E Coli, even and levels were higher

(00:54):
than an airplane trade table. Well, you think about it.
People are sweating, they're using the same gym equipment, they
don't always wipe it down.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
I find that really just rude, very rude, very very
especially when they're sitting on a bench and they get
up and I see the imprint of no their butt sheet,
Like not.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Cool, That's why why get down?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
So this is I mean, experts are telling us what
to do, even though we should know what to do, which.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Is wipe down the equipment before and.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
After you and try not to touch your face. Well
that's just in general.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Just go up the day and not touch your face,
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 5 (01:32):
No, I'm kidding, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Do that, as you always say.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
As I always as I say.

Speaker 6 (01:37):

Speaker 3 (01:46):

Speaker 2 (02:20):
AH, A few more songs gonna stop in the Cordo's
court so we can serve up some fresh justice.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
What up Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Here, by the way, if you ever find yourself in
a weird situation or a random dispute, or you just
need some good old fashioned advice, slide a noeoor dms
over on ig and let Judge Quardo help you out.
O at al Mario Lopez for that. Back with today's
case in ten but first one reason Amarow Courtney Lopez
time to get a fresh court case in Courtney's courto

(02:47):
Roz for the Honorable Judge Courtney Quardo Lopez.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Today's case comes from Jennifer in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
She says, I got a strange situation and I want
quartos thoughts. I've been dating this guy for about a year,
parents a lot of times, and things are going well.
Handful of times I've been to his parents' house. There's
a younger woman who is hanging out with his mom.
My boyfriend always said, that's my mom's friend, Lydia. Come
and find out that this woman, Lydia is actually my
boyfriend's ex girlfriend. They dated for a few years in

(03:14):
the past, but her and the mother remain great friends.
I'm extremely uncomfortable with this and this seems insane. Should
I run?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
I really like this guy, And besides this, I see
no red flags?

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Oh I do?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh really?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (03:27):
I see a date line?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No date line?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, I see a date line.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Come on, No, that's first of all, Lydia, get a life.
You can still keep in contact with the mom if
you wanted to, like over text, But why do you
got to be sitting over there if you don't want
anything else to do with the sun. That seems obsessive
to me. So, Jennifer in Colorado, you need to run
for the hills, the mountains, whatever you got there.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
They have mountains. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I'm going to respectfully disagree because I think if Lydia
was going out with Jonathan when they were very young,
maybe kids, and then Lydia and mom just kind of
hit it off, they could remain friendly because they both
probably moved on.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
What if Lydia is in another relationship herself? Is this
Mario's court?

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Who are you friends with? Still that hangs out with
your mom?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Who?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, I'm not friends, but my mom sometimes is friends.
It was friendly, she's friendly.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
They're not sitting over there.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
When I could sitting over there. But I'm just saying
that's weird.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
This is dayline more.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
You're all Mario Courtney Lopez, keeping the music and fun
coming your way. As Cordo tries to make us think
with a random thought, oh what you got?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
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.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Isn't it ironic?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh? You threw in a random thought with a little
joke right there.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, it is kind of weird that it like stabs you.
It does, and then sometimes they get deep and you
got to really kind of dig in there.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
I mean you're working it out one way and then
it goes to the other and then you're like someone's like.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Look at my eye drive an eyelash, and they're like.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
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 to mess with M.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I love some Vizine. No VIZI do that. Oh you're
touching your eye. Vizine is that.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Vizine is the hero for all that kind of stuff
gets out EVERYTHINGK you what.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Down jomorow Courtney Lopez, and it's time for Cordo to
make us think with a new random question.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
What you got all right?

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Would you rather be handed one million dollars right now
or flip a coin for a billion?

Speaker 8 (06:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Wow, that's really that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
That is a really, really good question, Quotney, I'm flipping
that coin.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I am flipping that.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
You are, Yes, you wouldn't take the million?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Just was really ruining right now.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, obviously in story that I'd be taking it. But
you know we're not starving to death, so why not just.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Go for go for it all? Yeah, I think we
could take care of generations. Yeah, I think you flip
the coin.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
I think you flip the coin.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
You do, I would flip the coin.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
You wouldn't take the million?

Speaker 7 (06:36):
No, because I think God wants me to have a
billion dollars and he would, he would, he would give
me that billion.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
True that, Quotney.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Mario Lopez will be right back.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
New year means ushering in new trends, but twenty twenty
six seems to be saying goodbye to a favorite trend
that women have been loving for decades.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Leggings. You're all Marion Courtney Lopez sales of leggings or down.
Even Lulu Lemon has gone through layoffs. Ohoh you still
rock them, honey, what to workout?

Speaker 7 (07:05):
You were in that cult about leggings or you worked
with that guy from the cult about leggings.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
There that whole documentary about it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh oh Lulu LaRue, Yeah whatever it was right, Yes.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
You know, No, I think there's just a different way
of styling legans now. I mean I think there's other
styles that are more trendy right now and in style.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, funny as you say that, if you still rock leggings,
you're considered a boomer.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
So what's replacing leggings?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
BWP, big workout pants, baggy, boxy, loose and low rise.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yes, I like that look. I like that look too,
for sure. But legans will always be in they recycle.

the people that I hang around, and it's the lifestyle
that I live and grown up with. They're like, nah, Dad,
there's no way you're gonna do it. You're gonna dress
up in a costume. I wasn't that familiar with the show. Yeah,
that's why they really did. I was, you know, a

(14:06):

bring back a lot of memories. You know it's all
about you know, the fanny pack and things like that.

remember about that time period.

Speaker 8 (16:43):
Ah, man, Well, but right before, I mean I remember
a lot just you know, doing and so when it
was when the song came out, mat, I was extremely shocked,
you know that it did so well because I was
not expecting, you know, to go into the music business
or anything like that. So when they got as big
as they did, I was shocked because I wasn't planning

(17:03):
going on tours or anything like that. I didn't inquire
about being in the show in the show business. That
wasn't my thing. You know. Yeah, I was totally shocking.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
It ended up working out well. It did work out well. Man,

see it.
