So let's keep the.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Music roll in. You're on with Mario Lopez. A Mario Lopez,
Let's talk divas for a moment. Which of these seems
like a more baller move? First, their Chaer who says
she only dates younger men because all the men her
age are dead.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, I mean that could be factual.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I love that headline. I reposted it. People magazine had
put it up. Only Share can get away with something
like that, I feel. And then you have Mariah who
went to Universal to ride the roller coasters and had
her hair person waiting with a brush as soon as
she stepped off of it. Well, one is diva behavior,

(00:55):
the other is legend behavior.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah, kind of Mario Lope coming up, You're a Mario Lopez.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Let's take a look at what's on TV today.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
CBS has the series finales of n CIS Hawaii and
Bob Hart's Abashola.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, surprised to see NCIS Hawaii saying Aloha for its
final time and Bob Hart's aba Shola first time.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm hearing about it.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
But hey, I'm sure he loved Abashola.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
He hearted them.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
I guess E has OMG fashion fashion reality competition hosted
by Julia Fox.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Julia Fox is the one with uncat jams fame correct nice?

Speaker 6 (01:33):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
What a Mario Lopez? He was a quick buzz for you.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Universal wants to take us back to the fifteenth century
for its next biopic. They're developing a film based on
the life of Leonardo da Vinci.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I love this sort of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
He not only painted the mon Lise, of course, but
he was also an inventor and a writer. He sculpted,
He did very, very talented lot of stuff in the
Cysteine Chapel.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
No word yet on.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
The star, but the director just made the highly rated movie.
All of us strangers want to see this. All right,
let's get back to the music. You're all Mario Lopez.
Time to think outside of the box. What is today's
completely random question?

Speaker 6 (02:09):
All right?

Speaker 5 (02:09):
So, we already have a movie about the invention of
the Flaming Hot Cheetoh. I believe your friend Eva made that.
What invention should be made into the next big Blockbuster movie?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
How about the invention of Blockbuster. It's the video store
there you go. I think that had to be the
first phenomenon where you were able to rent movies. Correct,
before the Rockbuster was there anything else?

Speaker 5 (02:29):
I think there were individual sort of mom and pop stores,
but I think Blockbuster was like the first big chain
where it actually kind of went national and all of that,
because I remember before Blockbuster came to my hometown, we
had another place. Was there like a small sort was
like an independent storm. They never had all the movies
you wanted, but Blockbuster did.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I just remember Blockbuster, so that'd be kind of cool.
It'd be a fun era great soundtrack back in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't have that, or Mario Lopez.

Speaker 3 (02:56):

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Man? What could I tell on camera.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
No or on Mi, you just said, all we can
learn a lot from.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
A first session.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
We can learn bleep.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
No, I learned a lot, you know, not only just
like comedic wise, business wise. I think that just got
better as a comedian. So I shot that in two thousand,
early twenty and nineteen, so I was.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
A pre pandemic.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, so it was. I
was ten years in at that time. So yeah, so
that was like, you know, that was four years ago,
four five years ago, five years ago.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Wow, it's five years ago.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Time flies crazy. It was like three weeks.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
It is crazy, like pandemic was like last year for
like the last four years.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, no, kidd man, Well you can watch My Name
Is Preacher on YouTube. Hold on, I got to play
more music, yol. Mari Lope as My guest is stand
up Preacher Lawson whose new special is My Name is Preacher?
And I love because I'm close to my mom. As
a matter of fact, I just got off the phone
with her. You had your mom bring you on stage,
and uh was she pretty.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Comfortable with there?

Speaker 6 (07:27):
My mom opens for me. That's awesome. She opens for
me when I go on the road. She goes up
she does.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Time she hosts the show, she brings up the other comedians,
brings me up, and she sells my merchandise.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
She loves.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Hey, I'm all about keeping into the family.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
Yeah. Yeah, for you, man, God, for you. It's definitely cheaper.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I think I asked you this before. But does it
throw a monkey ranch in your game? Or does it help?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yeah, yeah, you know what, I think it. I think
it both. You know.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
I think that when you work with family, you know,
it's always going to be like, first off, when you
work with any one, it's always going to be like
kind of like weird, right, But family, you know, it's
a I think it's a you know, it's a different
dynamic because especially because she raised me so like in
the beginning, it was really hard trying to convince her like, hey,

(08:14):
you can't do that because I said that, you know,
you know, she couldn't. Like she's kind of like she's
kind of like an employee, you know, and it took
a second for her to like realize like I'm your mom,
you know, like one time she came. She one time,
you know, at the end of the show, I have
the T shirts and I'm like, hey, we got this

(08:35):
T shirt and that T shirt. You know, if you
want to come afterwards and buy a T shirt, take
picture of whatever that's you know, you could do that.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
And then she had like brand new.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
T shirts like her face on it, and I'm like,
why would you not say something.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
To me earlier?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You know?

Speaker 7 (08:52):
But I just found out, Like I'm putting up the
T shirts, you know, I'm throwing it up like Simba,
you know what I mean, you know, and Lion King
and I just have the shirt and it's her face
and I'm like, what, why would you give me a
heads up? So like just stuff like that, but you know,
she's just really excited. But yeah, I feel like it's
just I don't know, you know, it's weird sometimes sometimes
it's not exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, we got to take a little break. I'm gonna
have more of a Preacher loss in coming up.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Mario Lopez will be right back.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Mario Lopez here hanging out in studio with comic Preacher losson.
And you were recently on a GT Fantasy League the
only stand up comic invited on that was cool?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Man?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Did you like it second time around?

Speaker 7 (09:30):
More?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Man?

Speaker 6 (09:31):
You know what, I don't know if I like it more.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
The first time is always the best, right, right, and
then going back is always great, And honestly, when I'm like,
I'm never going back, and then they're like, hey, you
want to come back, and I'm like, I'm on my.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Way every time.

Speaker 7 (09:43):
I'm not gonna say no to TVRAN. That's crazy. It
is my goal on it, and my sales go up,
my tickets everything. So they showed me so much love
and they like, you know, changed my life. But uh,
you know, everyone on their show is so funny because
everyone on their show then was established, like before you
like need this, I am homeless, you know, like everybody
on the show had money. It's like weird people just

(10:07):
going on like yeah, I wouldn't that be dope, but like,
you know, honestly, I'm supposed to do by next third.
So it was a different energy where it's like, you
like people you started with that were like super broke
or you know not is established and then years later
everyone's established.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah that's cool man, Yeah, it's really cool. That is
cool man. All Right, well hang on, we got to
play some more music. Mario Lopez. You're talking about a
GT Fantasy League with comic Preacher losson.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
How do you go into that with the mentality of
competing because you're doing comedy, but like someone could be I.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Don't know, throwing throwing. What is your mentality for a
strategy there?

Speaker 7 (10:45):
Honestly, I don't do My only strategy besides me just
doing my set, I just do it the you know,
the I do it normally. Uh, is me trying to
interact with the judges? Yeah, I feel like that's another set.
Like a lot of times, no one's gonna be juggling knives.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Like I'm from Bulgarrett, you know, Like you're not gonna
be doing that. So that's so.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
So I just try to take that as another opportunity
to try to make the audience or people at the
home or the judges laugh. So that's my only strategic
you know, point of view. But uh, otherwise, I just
do my set. I'm like, they're gonna like me, They're
not gonna be funny. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's a good approach.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
They're smart.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
All right, let's play more music.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
You're a Mario Lopez got stand up Preacher lost in
his studio with me is a new special. My name
is Preacher. I didn't know this. You got some mm
A skills?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What kind of training do?

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Do we talk about this? I we did to talk
about this, but I know you do box. I seen
you box Canelo, which I was like, that is crazy, bro.
I thought that was crazy because I was like, I
remember watching it. You had head gear on. I was like,
that's not him. Why would he be in there with Canelo?
But that was that was pretty insane. But yeah, I do.
I do mm A, but not like I'm not trying

(11:57):
to lose any brain. So I just like to have
fun and train.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Yeah, I did some boxes smart yesterday and you know so,
but yeah, I love I love mm A, you know,

you know, and it's great good.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
I want you be training.

Speaker 2 (12:17):

Speaker 6 (12:18):
I do you know.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
I grew up wrestling and and you were wrestling, yeah,
and boxing and do jiu jitsu, so I kind of
do all kind of yeah, so I got my boys
into it and stuff.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
So it's would you ever do like a match?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean, I've done some I used to fight in smokers,
which are like three yard fights all the time.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
But that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You did a competition last year, didn't you. Oh, well,
that he.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Was I thought he was talking about boxing boxing. I
did that, But I also compete now in jiu jitsu.
But now I'm I've been a little bit injured as
of later.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Yeah, boxing don't get injured as much a jiu jitsu.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Well, it's weird because all my serious injuries have been
from boxing. Really yeah, but like I tore my achilles,
tore my biceps towards shoulder, all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
But that's throughout the years.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
But in jiu jitsu it's little nagging things. I got
this pinch nerve that's killing me, and it's just getting old.
Getting old sucks.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, try to avoid it if you can't.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
That was awful advice I just got getting getting old
is a privilege.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Try to avoid acting old. Yeah, that's what I meant
to say.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well, hey, you got to take a break, But I
got one more thing to ask, hold on more with

With Mario Hollywood buzz.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
So Back in nineteen eighty, the movie nine to five
featured the dream team of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and
Dolly Parton. Also Dabney Coleman, who was their boss. Shout
out to him. Twentieth Century Studios ready for a new version,
this time from Jennifer Aniston. The other stars are under wraps,
but she's got Diablo Cody writing the script. This is

(16:29):
going to be interesting because back then, if you see
the movie, there was a lot of sort of me
too behavior that was just socially acceptable, sort of like
if you watch mad Men. That's just the way the
culture was. The way the culture was. It doesn't mean
it was right, no, but he did provide for a
lot of comedy. I'm curious to see what they're going

(16:50):
to try to get away with with today's version.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
More Mario Lopez coming up?

Speaker 2 (16:57):
What a Mario Lopez here?

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Do not doubt the power of the Sonic the Hedgehog Universe.
The new spinoff Knuckles has become the most watched original
series on Paramount Plus. I'm gonna have to see this
with my son. The series takes place between the second
and third movies and features Idris Elba as the voice
of the main character Nice.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
All right, let's get back to music.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Music rolls on, Mario Courtney Lopez here, got one last
thing to get too shortly, so hanging time for that.
In the meantime, if you got a song you want
to hear, I think we got signed for another request
or two, so tweeted our way out on.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
In Mario, you are all with Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I want to talk about something I posted on socials
and tell me what you think. Former NBA star Gilbert
Arenas proposed to his girl with a four hundred thousand
dollars ring. They ended up breaking up a week later,
well eight days, but a week so he made up
with her and they stayed together for four more months.
And during that time, my guy switched out the ring
with a fake. She sued him when she discovered it

(17:54):
and lost this Courtney's court. He's playing chess, not checkers.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
People.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
They got back together, so why would he switch out the.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Ring to a fake?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
You get back together to switch out the ring to
a fake.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
She did not give it back the ring, so they
got back together. In getting back together, I'm sure she
was asleep one day. He went over to the sink,
got the ring, switched it out, and then four months
later pieced out.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Do you think he got back together with her just
to get the rings? That's the strategy, that's the moral
of the story.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
She should have given the rings. You should have Well,
here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
It depends on the state you live in, and unfortunately,
in the state of California, you do not have to
because it's considered a gift.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Codas Ice.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Tell Mario what you think on Twitter. At On with
Mario More Mario Lopez on the Way ont.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm out of here, but I Am back tomorrow with
Aaron Eckhart, plus a new hack in Courtney's Corner and
