Speaker 1 (00:00):
Y're all Mario Courtney Lopez and I forgot to talk
about this, But the other day I had my first
venture with the Lopez boys, my son's dominic in Santino.
It was that was like a gang. No, no, the
Lopez boy right exactly, sounds like a cool gang. It
was Sonny's first red carpet. We went to see the

(00:20):
new Disney movie Ron's Gone Wrong, which is actually really
cute with a good message, at the Al Capitan Theater
in Hollywood. Right, it was your first venture alone? Correct,
alone alone? You've been with them before, you've met that no, no, no,
yeah exactly. I tried to keep up appearances. I was
so nervous and I kept telling my wife, I have
so much anxiety thinking about what can go wrong because

(00:43):
my little guy is a maniac. Dominic is now a
little pro and he used to be a little He
was just more emotional when he was a kid. We
don't know what kind of mood he was gonna get
in with Sonny. He would either be really happy or
he would be really mad and want to go to
the car. Exactly. It was no one between. With Sonny.
He's more unpredictable. You don't know what he's gonna do.
He just wants to take off. He just wants to
take off. He wants to start wrecking stuff. There's a

(01:05):
lot to explore. He's a lot more destructive and unpredictable.
So on the way, he was in a good mood.
I was so happy. You know, I had a nice
number two before he left. That's a major bonus, and
I had. I was all good. So then I had
his backpack with his iPad, lollipops and treats and stuff.

(01:25):
He's going to a movie, I said, I said, you
can't putt for the movie was for the car ride.
Car rides are essential. So then we get there and
he so far, so good. But when he saw the
Remember he's kind of like a pandemic kid, right, he
didn't really he hasn't really been, I think. So we
get there and there's before well. But but right when

(01:47):
he was like six seven months, when I would start
taking him to place his we shut down. He was
he never got used to that. So we're on the
red carpet and a lot of paparazzi and press or
whatever are are flashing the little um camera's light bulbs right,
and all of a sudden, he just kind of and
he decided to play hide and go see go seeing.
I'm trying to put his hair down. He's out now

(02:08):
and he throws himself on the carpet and he's kind
of not having a not having a meltdown, but just
having a moment. Then he starts kicking the seven repeat
behind us, and I'm giving him the death grip and
so many parents that I know that dad death grip,
and I'm trying to hold him, and I'm like, just
let him run loose, so I don't one point. I
just let him loose, and he starts taking down the carpet.
I was just keep an eye on himself, like he
sounds like old school Robert Downey Jr. Oh my gosh,

(02:31):
she was crazy. And then we get into the movie, right,
and he's like those people he's getting in the movie,
and I get him a bunch of popcorn. He knocked
down three tubs out to get a new popcorn and
Eminem's and then the people in the island, I don't worry,
we got it. We got it. He's watching the movie.
Everyone's quiet, and he's like yay, oh no, oh no, hey, Nico,
Nico he's talking through the little whole being like you

(02:54):
shut up, No, he's not. I'd only go on to
one movie with you. And it was a few years back.
For some reason, we all went to see Kong or something,
Skull Island or whatever it was. And the moment we
sat down, Maria was like, oh, look at the dinosaur. Crazy.
So he was talking to the whole thing. He got
so crazy. I was getting embarrassed. I had to take
him out. And the finally that people took us to
like this little um balcony area where you you can

(03:15):
have like wheelchairs in another space, and I just kind
of let them roam there and we had to finish
watching it there. But I was stressing now and he
finally he made it through the movie. My soun didn't
want to leave because I was ready to leave, so
we made it. It was hard, but oh my gosh,
I dealt with so much anxiety, and so I have
a whole new respect for my wife now. Dealing with
the boys right there, but Sunny's a handful. Mario and
