Train steps in the spotlight of the Mario Music Minute.
My buddy Pat Monahan and the crew have dropped a
new single, already staking claims on this year's Song of
the Summer. This one's called Long Yellow Dress. Pat told
us how he wrote it.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So, our new song, Long Yellow Dress was inspired by
a dream that I had that I was imagining a
girl that is no longer with me who was wearing
a long, flowing yellow dress, and it took me right
back to where we used to be. And that nostalgia
ends a song.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Oh I can I can feel that right here? All right,

but entries closed this weekend. You're a Mario Lopez. Let's
take a look at what's on TV today?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
What do we got?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Netflix has The Assanta Case, based on a true story.
Parents report their twelve year old daughter missing, but the
investigation soon turns against them.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Ooh, I can see that being the case pretty often,
because you're gonna when a wife is missing, you respect
the husband.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
A lot of times they end up being the prime suspense, right.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And when a child's missing, I can see that happening. Ooh,
but if you had nothing to do with it, what
an awful feeling.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Hulu debuts Thank You good Night. The bon Jovi's Story,
a talk about one of the greatest bands of the eighties.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And one that's still very relevant and kicking today and.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Paramount plus as Knuckles from the cinematic world of the
Hedgehog Itdris Elba goes on an action pack journey Knuckles.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yes, Sonic style.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A Mario Lopez and Delta Burke might be the original
Heisenberg on with Mario.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Hollywood Buzz So.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I posted about this. I just thought it was such
a wild story.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Back in the eighties, Designing Women was one of the
biggest sitcoms on CBS. It had Gene Smart, Dixie Carter,
and Delta Burke, who was really the standout actress there.
She played Suzanne sugar Baker and she was great in it.
And she was great. She's now admitting, however, that she
used to do crystal meth back in the day to
(03:39):
curb her appetize.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
She was method, Yeah, very method.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Literally, she couldn't get the diet pills that she was
taking in the UK. Obviously this was before oh Zempe.
And it's just bizarre because not cocaine, but crystal meth,
which is usually affiliated with a very just down low
sort of stre eat hardcore drug, and she was on TV,
(04:02):
made a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It was just an interesting choice.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Is it cheaper.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's cheaper, really super cheap. It's much cheaper, But you
have awful side effects. Anybody that has known people that
use crystal mad their teeth fall out, their skin gets
really bad.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It is really really bad.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So wow, she I think was saying this making a
point in saying that she felt the need to keep
up with a certain body image back then and that
women feel this pressure, especially being on TV, and of
course this made headlines.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:37):

season starts.
Speaker 2 (04:40):

skeleton dog. The cost three hundred bucks. We have two
skeletons from Home Depot and and a Mike Myers that
(05:02):
is just out of control, like thirty feet and it's
so out of control you put up for one day

Speaker 3 (14:51):
All right, let's go back to music.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yo al Mario Courtney Lopez not for another fake debate

Who's prone? Who's cond day? I was pro last time?

ten second rebuttal. Afterwards, Courtney, you will be con Mario,

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Your topic today in the fake debate is Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Miley Cyrus is one of my favorite Disney alums.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
She has always stayed true to who she is.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I've liked her since Hannah Montana days, and she has
transitioned from a former child actor to.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Now one of the hottest pop stars in the world.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Go Miley, Courtney, You're against Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
She might have come a long way, but all I
can see is when she stuck her tongue out and
was disgusting.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Didn't you mean the whole fifteen Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
First of all, that's not that provocative.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Second of all, the thing I like about Miley is
she's incredibly original. She doesn't sort of bend to any norms,
and she looks like she's always having a good time.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Doesn't take it serious. You know what, Mario, You only
liked her because you stole her craft services.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
First of all, I stole Hannah Montana's cross service, not
Mighty Cyrus.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
But I I love you, Mley.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
What do we got?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Netflix has The Assanta Case, based on a true story.
Parents report their twelve year old daughter missing, but the
investigation soon turns against them.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Ooh, I can see that being the case pretty often,
because you're gonna when a wife is missing, you respect
the husband.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
A lot of times they end up being the prime suspense, right.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And when a child's missing, I can see that happening. Ooh,
but if you had nothing to do with it, what
an awful feeling.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Hulu debuts Thank You good Night. The bon Jovi's Story,
a talk about one of the greatest bands of the eighties.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And one that's still very relevant and kicking today and.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Paramount plus as Knuckles from the cinematic world of the
Hedgehog Itdris Elba goes on an action pack journey Knuckles.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yes, Sonic style.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A Mario Lopez and Delta Burke might be the original
Heisenberg on with Mario.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Hollywood Buzz So.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I posted about this. I just thought it was such
a wild story.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Back in the eighties, Designing Women was one of the
biggest sitcoms on CBS. It had Gene Smart, Dixie Carter,
and Delta Burke, who was really the standout actress there.
She played Suzanne sugar Baker and she was great in it.
And she was great. She's now admitting, however, that she
used to do crystal meth back in the day to
(03:39):
curb her appetize.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
She was method, Yeah, very method.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Literally, she couldn't get the diet pills that she was
taking in the UK. Obviously this was before oh Zempe.
And it's just bizarre because not cocaine, but crystal meth,
which is usually affiliated with a very just down low
sort of stre eat hardcore drug, and she was on TV,
(04:02):
made a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It was just an interesting choice.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Is it cheaper.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's cheaper, really super cheap. It's much cheaper, But you
have awful side effects. Anybody that has known people that
use crystal mad their teeth fall out, their skin gets
really bad.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It is really really bad.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So wow, she I think was saying this making a
point in saying that she felt the need to keep
up with a certain body image back then and that
women feel this pressure, especially being on TV, and of
course this made headlines.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:37):

Yo al Mario Courtney Lopez not for another fake debate

Speaker 7 (15:12):
Your topic today in the fake debate is Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Miley Cyrus is one of my favorite Disney alums.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
She has always stayed true to who she is.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I've liked her since Hannah Montana days, and she has
transitioned from a former child actor to.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Now one of the hottest pop stars in the world.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Go Miley, Courtney, You're against Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
She might have come a long way, but all I
can see is when she stuck her tongue out and
was disgusting.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Didn't you mean the whole fifteen Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
First of all, that's not that provocative.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Second of all, the thing I like about Miley is
she's incredibly original. She doesn't sort of bend to any norms,
and she looks like she's always having a good time.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Doesn't take it serious. You know what, Mario, You only
liked her because you stole her craft services.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
First of all, I stole Hannah Montana's cross service, not
Mighty Cyrus.
