A Mari and Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
And it was anything but a backpack day at my
kid's school and her daughter Gia had pretty clever idea.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Right, honey, Yeah, it was a clever idea. I don't
know if it really manifested well, but she wanted to
take Santino.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Our youngest son, our youngest son.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
As his assistant, to carry her book.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well it was anything but a backpack, and I think
she nailed the assignment.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
And she did ask permission and they said it was okay.
So I sat in the parking lot and he was
only there the first like twenty minutes. But when I
did see her walk out of the front doors, he
was running away from her and she was chasing him
and he was not carrying any books.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
So funny.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
More Mario Lopez on the way.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Mario Lopez here, my wife Courtney, and I got to
give a shout out to my mom, Mama Lopez, who's
stepping up her meme game. She went from not even
being able to send a text to now she's all
over social media, constantly commenting on our posts, even getting
into arguments with other people if they say something negative.
And once in a while she'll post a meme and

(03:22):
she did on her story.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I don't know she I don't think she knows she's
posting these.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I don't know if she knows she's posting it or
it was an accident, but she did text them, so
it was on purpose. This one in particular, was so random.
It was a toilet of Iron Man and a very
elaborate one. I've seen that before too. They have Batman,
they have a ton I don't know if she is
asking if that's what I want for my birthday.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Maybe that's what she wants for Mother's Day.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeahs, for Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
We have to ask her about that.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Mariya Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here, what holiday we celebrating today? Honey?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
It is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
We should appreciate them because not only do they serve
our great country, but sometimes they're putting dangerous positions. They
don't know if they're coming back. We have cousins that
have spouses that are in the military, and you know,
God bless them. So we appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Very stressful time for.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Bussey movies, La Mario Courtney Lopez. Let's take a look
at what's new in theaters and beyond this weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
You have Black Night. It's on Netflix. In a dystopian future,
humanity relies on a group of delivery men known as
the Black Knights.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh, wasn't that a Batman movie too?

Speaker 4 (04:27):
No, Dark A Dark Knight, Dark Knight, Black Knight.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Okay, book Club the next chapter. It's in theaters. Candice Bergen,
Jane Fonda and friends take their book club to Italy
for the girls trip they never had.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Shout out to the senior ladies out there. They seem
to be busier than ever and really in demand. This
is like Jane Fonda's third or fourth movie this year.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
They just did one about Brady, right, they didn't.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Want about Brady. They've got this one. They also there
was another one where they go on a trip of
some sort, So yeah, look, that's great.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
The Mother it's on Netflix. Jennifer Lopez is an assassin
who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she
gave up years before.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
She's kicked butt movies before. I can't remember the one
where she was where she was like a martial arts.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Enough enough, thank you. That was it.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
This is a funny promise when you say it out loud.
She comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she
gave up years before.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
She hiding exactly now you want to protect her? Should
have kept me? Originally okay and.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Still a Michael J. Fox movie. It's on Apple TV.
Part documentary, part scripted, all about the actor's life.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
This actually looks really compelling and moving. I love Michael J. Fox,
He's one of my favorites as an actress as a person,
and talks about him dealing with Parkinson's and I bet
there'll be some tear shit watching more.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Mario Lopez coming up?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
What a ma Courney Lopez here.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Today's lesson in Music History is about the number one
hit that Lionel Richie originally thought was too corny to
finish writing. What I'm gonna share it with you next,
y'all Maria Courtney Lopez And on this day in history
thirty nine years ago. In nineteen eighty four, this became
the biggest song in the country.

Speaker 7 (06:10):

Look the notes?

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh you thought I was looking for the notes right there?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I was coming from a place of love.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Lionel who you know, I love.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
We've seen him in contract and he's a great guy
outside of being a great songwriter.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
That song was definitely not corny.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'll tell you what was the music video because he
fell in love with his blind student who ended up
sculpting his head in clay. In the head was the
size of like all Saint Bernard. It was just enormous.
And then with his Jerry Curl with the whole thing,
it was so funny.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Is this based on a true story?

Speaker 4 (06:53):
No, it was just a video, y'all. Mark Courtney Lopez
got some slapt birthdays. Who celebrators try to get? Robby
Malick from Bohemian Rhapsody.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Rommy I think is forty five?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Rommy, who is an identical twin by the way, I
believe it is only forty two.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Forty two is correct? Jason Biggs from American Pie.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
We've had Jason on the show a lot. He is
forty six, forty seven, forty five.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Ooh oh.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
And Ria Seahorn from Better Call Saul Oh.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
I like her.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
She was at the Blonde. Yes, I think she was
the only fantastic thing in the show.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
She was. She is.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Forty nine.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm gonna say she is forty six fifty one.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
She was great. Good for her.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Poor Mario Lopez coming up.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Mario Corney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Your a quick reminder that Megan Trainer is taking over
the airwaves this Mother's Day weekend to answer some of
your questions.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
She'll be playing some of her favorite music it's gonna
be a lot of fun. So to get all the
info on your iHeartRadio app or I'm with Mario dot com.
All right, more music?

Speaker 7 (08:06):
Now what on Mario Lopez?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Here a lot of buzz around the show Jury Duty
on Amazon. Everyone's an actor except one guy who thinks
he's in the middle of a real trial. Our guest
today is one of those actors, the attorney Tricia Lapache.
We're gonna get all the insight info after a few
more songs, Toby All Mario Lopez joining me now on
Zoom from Amazon's Jury Duty actress Tricia Lafoch.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Welcome to the show. How are you.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
I'm great, Thank you, Mario. How are you?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm doing well. Thanks for taking the time. Congrats on
Jury Duty, getting a lot of buzz right now. You
surprised about how big it's become so quickly.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yes, because whenever I've never been a part of something
this big. And yeah, I just don't think you ever
think that something's going on to catch down like that.
But I will say I had no idea what I
was signing up for. But then when I first saw,
in fact, my first meeting with our director Jake Simanski,
he said, do you know what the show is? And
I was like, no, I have no idea. Would you

(09:14):
mind telling me? And it was that we were off racist.
But when I got the first outline, I read it
and I said, oh my god, like if anyone sees this,
everyone's going to see it. I just knew, but still no,
do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Of course, for those who may not be familiar, talk
about the premise.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
So the premise is that the creators of the Office,
Lee Eisenberg and Jean Steppinski had an idea to take
what you know, some may think is similar to Joe
Schmo or to the rehearsal, but kind of flip that
prank idea and see if it would be possible to

(09:56):
do a hero's journey where the main I would be
in every Man kind of like a John Krasinski in
the Office or Dave foleyan news radio, and put a
bunch of weirdos around him, and you know, see if
we could get him to do the right thing by
not really by really just being himself. And they built

(10:17):
this amazing cast of improv actors eleven of them, well
ten who are the jurors improv actors? James Marsden celebrity
James Marsden, who I know you met with the other day. Yes,
and also this guy Ronald Bladden who kind of just
finished making The Magic I.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Talk about original and a clever premise, and there were
so many ways it could have gone south. Hold on, Trisha,
I got a lot to talk about. We got to
take a little break. More Jury Duty secrets in.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
A moment more Mario Lopez coming.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Up, Mario Lopez here.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
My guest today is Trisha Lafoche from the Amazon show
Jury Duty. And you're one of the people who actually
had legal experience, right, Yes.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
I actually went to law school wanting to be in
the arts. And my first week in law school I
met a kid who was like, yeah, I have an
agent because I went to brook the Law School, so
I was in New York City. So I did and
for a really long time I pursued both and different avenues.
I ended up leaning more towards entertainment. But when I

(11:17):
got this audition, I was like, oh my god, if
I don't book this job, I should have quit fifteen
years ago. You know what I mean. Way to have
my two worlds, you know, intersect.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
No, of course that's so cool. Well, hold on, Tricia,
I gotta play some more music. What a Mario Lopez here?
I got actress Tricia Lafoche on zoom with me. She's
the attorney in the new Amazon show Jury Duty. And
do you think this is something that could be recreated?
Like could there be a season two? Or is the
cat out of the bag now?

Speaker 5 (11:48):
I am sure from what I've heard, you know, they'd
love to do a season two, but probably in a
different world, not necessarily a jury situation. I do think that,
you know, when something people love something, So it's like
this so much, it's hard to put the train back
in the station, you know, you don't want to just

(12:09):
call it a day. So I'm guessing that they will
come up with something. Whether we get to be a
part of it, of course, I would love to, but
you know, I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well, you can watch Jury Duty on Amazon.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Let's get back to the music. Jo Mario Lopez.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Talking Jury Duty with actress Trisha Lafosche. From an actress
point of view? Is it more like a stage performance
than a TV show? I got imagine like you're doing
theater because you don't get one take right. It's not
like you can get coverage and what have you?

Speaker 5 (12:38):
No Zero, I walk into the COREN with my briefcase
and I'm Dad bra and I'm objection your honor at
sidebar mainly approach, you know, and just calling my witnesses
and presenting my case and trying not to make eye
contact with Ronald, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
And there's sort of an element of like undercover work too,
like like you're doing a sting, right, It's got that
sort of sort of feel to it.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yes, it does. And you know, because our creators are
so kind hearted and we're really really dedicated to not
having it be a prank show and having us be
the butt of the joke and him be the good guy.
There was so much conversation about like how is he feeling.
We would have a morning meeting and everybody would say like, okay,

(13:23):
well this made him a little uncomfortable yesterday, and not
just we don't want him to find out, but really
and genuinely we don't want to upset him, right, So
I mean, how often do you get that? Like it
was so many layers of yes, covert, and you know,
people would ask me like how I don't didn't break
And granted I'm a straight man. But also I'm super competitive,

(13:47):
so I was supposed to be the good lawyer, and
I was supposed to be a good lawyer in his eyes.
So because they were interviewing at the end of the day,
I knew if he was going to say issues, Yeah,
So I would get in the courtroom and be like,
this is my you know, witness, I'm asking you questions,
here's my evidence. But there's nothing funny about it to me,
because even though it was so silly, I was trying

(14:08):
to put out a good dase.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
We we can watch Jury Duty on Amazon. Gotta take a break.
We're gona wrap it up with a Tricia la Fash.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
In just a moment. You're the full interview now at
on with Mario doug More Mario Lopez on the way.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Mario Lopez here having things that with Tricia la Fash
from the Amazon show Jury Duty. And uh, I see
James Marsden at.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
My gym all the time flexing.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Jim, why the way you're looking good man?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I just came from to anyway. I'm always not when
I get here, beauty of.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Doing a radio real nice guy? How was uh? How
was how much was he acting?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I should say, and how much do you think that
was really?

Speaker 5 (14:44):
I think quite a bit. I think James is a sweetheart,
you know, my my experience with him has been really lovely.
And he was definitely one of the ones who was
much more concerned about how Ronald was feeling, you know,
because I'm in the courtroom and I'm kind of like,
you know, tough from New York. I'm like, he's gonna
want a thousand, hundred thousand dollars, She's gonna be just fot.

(15:05):
I knew that they were forming real relationships. I knew
that everyone really cared about him, And yes, it was
terrifying during the reveal, but I just had a feeling
that afterwards he would get that, you know, everybody, the
relationships that he experienced were real. The case was fake,
and a lot of the high kids were fake. But
he passed with flying colors. So who doesn't want to

(15:27):
look like the good guy? You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (15:29):
And the guy was so nice, too, very tall.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
I remember, very.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Very very exactly.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
He calls me, can you curse on the show?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (15:36):
He calls me because my character's name is Zeborah. I'm like,
that's rude. He's like well, once you have a characters
a name, that's my nickname.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Six Well, sure, deb Thank you so much for taking

Speaker 2 (16:50):

As I approach the fifth.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Level, I on a mission to bring it back. It's clean,
it's wholesome. You get the point. And he keeps a
classy boom.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Missus Lopez.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Using fuddy duddy to describe something only brings laughter and
fun to something. I think it's not a good word
to actually have in your vocabulary and be serious about,
because you sound like an idiot.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Mister Lopez. You know what you're being right now?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh fuddy doddy, fuddy doddy held case in point, and
Missus Lopez, anybody.

Kurt Loaders The Week in Rock.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
This was appointment viewing by the way back in the eighties,
Kurt Loader for a young skin wing television shows the
old guy looked like he was sixty five years old.
I do not understand that casting there, but it worked.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Evidently.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I didn't know MTV News was still on.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's exactly what I was about to say. Next, exactly
more music. Now, I didn't think it was still on either.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I know what.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Tomorrow, Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Here, let's take a look at what's trending on the website.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Com a Mario Courtney Lopez, before we take off of
the weekend, we're gonna give you the final word with
our sweet of the week.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
What do you got?

Speaker 3 (18:48):
This is from at Kenyon Lang and they said, I'm
tired all the time, but I also have trouble falling asleep.
Oh my gosh, constantly hungry, but I also have acid reflex.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
It's my spirit animal.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I spend all day work. Oh my gosh, but I
never get anything at commons.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
That's not true.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Am I doing this right?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Kenyon Lane had me until I never get anything accomplished. Ironically,
I really relate to this being tired all the time.
I just mentioned that to you the other day, honey,
because I get I've been pretty good about getting eight hours,
and I think it's the physical activities that I'd partaken
that make me tired all the time. It makes my
body physically tired. But I'm not going to give up

(19:27):
because I feel start getting old, right.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
But I also feel like part of the reason you
could be not you, just you in general could be
tired all the time, and you have trouble falling asleep,
it'scause you're not getting a good night's sleep, like a
really sound sleep. Therefore your body isn't shut down completely.
And when I went to school to be a doctor,
that was the first thing they.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Talked to you. Two weeks very good, very good.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
I want to be the tweet of the week. The
tweet us on with Mario and hang on, Mario Lopez
will be right back all right.
