(00:27):
mariol Courney. Lopez wasted no time and making it weird
right out of the gate with a random question.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
What you got Okay, the world is ending and you
have six minutes left to live. What is the last
song you listened to?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I think I can squeeze in two songs. If I
got six minutes, you got six minutes. You do what
you think you can.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I would have to listen to Dougie Fresh and Slick
Ricks six minutes Dougie Fresh here on.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Because it literally counts down for six minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Really yeah, he says six minutes that it's a great
right you're not getting back in the day. I'm not
getting too I decided to go back to one all
right because it popped in my head. I'm going literally
six minute I'm gonna go on upbeat song talking about
six minutes. The chorus is all six men is six minutes,
six minutes degad fresh ground about him about him hitting
the stage. Well, that's about me hitting another stage in life. See,
I went deep with it.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I think I'm doing final countdown because it was. Yeah.
If it wasn't six minutes, I couldt another one more.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Mario Lopez on the way.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yo, Mario Lopez, time to get into your comments. What'd
you find no I mentioned?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Uh, this is from at Kim Kim ninety nine. Did
you have chores at home when you were growing up?
I imagine that's why you're successful today.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Not only did have chores at home, you weren't allowed
to just kick back and.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Watch TV at my house, no downtime.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My dad did not like that. I had always used
to like the vacuum I thing. I've said it before.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I like to do the lines. Vacuuming was my OCD.
By the way, Yeah, that is my OCD.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Vacuuming was my go to and my mom would just
have us do some stuff but I couldn't just kick
back and watch TV. I could maybe for one day,
but if I had fun that day, then I'm wasn't
allowed to have fun the next day because then my
dad would put me to work. And anybody who spend
the night one night, that's it. After that he'd start
putting end to work. So nobody stayed at night and
wanted to come over. So no, That's why I think
(02:10):
I'm always on the go, because I don't know how
to relax. Yeah, my dad never gave us a shot.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He instilled it into you so young.

outdoor adventure things when I was younger, and I was jealous,
and yeah, it was just it was really fun. It
was an insane challenge. And I also made like people
who are some of my best friends now. Like I
live in Nashville. Twenty of the people on this show.
Out of twenty the people on the show, seven of
them live in Nashville.
Speaker 6 (07:14):

Speaker 7 (08:54):
That movie was the most insane ride. I spent seven
years making it with my sister. We co directed it together.
That's great, and no festival wanted it. And then next thing,
you know, we finally got into a small festival and
then bigger festials and we were winning one after another,
and then it became this massive hit on Netflix and
it changed my life and it changed my family's life.

writing letters.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think it's very not just old school but personal,
and you took the time to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I think it's meaningful. It definitely means more. Yeah, I
save a.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Lot of letters people have written me over the years,
from people that are now have now passed and you know, famous, famous,
celebrities and what have you. I would write more, but
my penmanship hasn't improved since the third grade.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
That's the problem. Well, yeah, that that people can't read it,
so you don't write as much as you think, so
you have to like concentrate. No, I know, it's crazy.
You start to realize I went to the last time
I wrote a full sentence.

on Rotten Tomatoes record breaker. I mean, hey, you make
an history. I guess viewers are calling it the worst
movie of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:41):

Speaker 4 (14:01):
What you got honey? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Love this, Love this thought, so it's yours. That's why
I love it. Coconuts have hair, flesh, and milk. Therefore
I think coconuts should be mammals.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh, I've never thought about it that way. Flesh, yes, the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I was gonna say pulp, but the inner workings of
a coconut. Yeah, what is it like?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
What would you know? Where are you back at? All
I know is I love me some coconuts.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The juice and when you just open it up and
start biting it and you get scrape it out with
the tongue. They were great coconuts, by the way. Not
so fun fact kill an average of like nine or
twelve people a.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Year falling from the tree.
Speaker 4 (14:42):

All myar dot com slash teachers to nominate.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Years i'lmar Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You know I love me some crazy headlines and this
one's just insane. Lawrence van Wassenhove is suing her longtime
employer a French telecom company for discrimination after spending twenty
years on the payroll without being given any real work. Essentially,
she was paid to do nothing. Wait, so what, Yeah,
so she's complaining. She moved to a secretary of rule
in ninety three due to medical issues, but when she
(15:34):
could no longer perform those duties, her repeated request for
another position, we're ignored. Instead, she was left on standby
and eventually put on long term sickly. She says, the
result was two decades of isolation, depression, and feeling invisible.
So now she's taking legal action accusing her company of
failing to support her needs and sidelining her.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Okay, I have so many questions about this because A,
if you're getting paid to do nothing thing, who would complain?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, she is at number one and number two.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You had twenty years of being able to look for
a new job.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Yeah, but you also had twenty years to take legal
action then, Yeah, when it was happening.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
This seems weird, like a shakedown, pay me for nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm down, Well, Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
A Mario Lopez music rolls on right after a quick
reminder that the twenty twenty five. Global Citizen Festival is

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Mario Lowpez here getting close to the end of our
radio fund. Just one last thing to get to plus
probably enough.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Time to play a request or two before I get
out of here. So if you got a song you
want to hear, hit me up at all on Mario
on X y'all, Mark Courtney love Pezz squeezing in one
last thing before we get out of here.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For the night.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So Wahlberg honey face timey. You know he loves face time,
and I had my glasses on it, and he was
kind of giving me a hard time that I use
reading glasses. And I'm like, dude, we're the same age,
you're actually older than me.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Don't you use them?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He goes, I used to, but I trained my eyes
to get stronger, and I said, get at here, he goes,
bro This doctor said, your eyes are a muscle, just
like the rest of your body. If you don't use
it at eleatrophy, but you could build it back up
if you train it.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
And I'm like, are you serious? Like, yeah, I don't
use them anymore to read scripts.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And on the heels of this conversation, my buddy Davey
Daves said, I don't use them anymore either. I trained
my eyes, like well what? And then Totty, my other buddy, said,
my uncle did the same thing. And then Terry was
just overhearing the conversation and she chimed in with Paula
Cartney did.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The same thing, right, So you know a bunch of liars.
Well that's what I'm thinking, I said, is everybody trolling me?
Messing with me? Right now? All hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And then I was at pet this morning physical therapy
with McGinnis, my guy, I trusted individual, and I ran
it by him. I said, I want you to take
he goes. There's actually some truth to that, because that's
why and you use the same analogy my other friend, Kim,
did you put a patch over your eyes and you
can train one that is weaker to get as strong
as the other one, he goes.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It depends though, on the severity.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Of your eyesight and if you're near sighted faresighted, so
there is some there is some circumstances. So but bottom line, Wahlberg,
I think was right.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I've done some research. It will not solve nearsightedness or
far sightedness. It will help with eyestrain and what I
have though you have eyestrained, but it doesn't help your
actual vision. It helps prevent you from trying to basically
hurting your eyes by trying to art, but your vision
is still messed up already.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
It's not going to correct that. But go ahead and
try do your eye workouts.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Notice all men said that, No, Terry's a woman. Terry said,
Paul McCartney did it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I'm going to give it a shot. I say that,
But so now you're going to be a pirate. Here's
the thing about glasses. I feel I looked distinguished.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You do look sex or Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right, that's the time to pass the mic. So
much fun hanging out with you. A big thanks to
Robie mattofa zooming in on Mario dot com for more
in my chat with him. More fun tomorrow, till then,

(00:27):
mariol Courney. Lopez wasted no time and making it weird
right out of the gate with a random question.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
What you got Okay, the world is ending and you
have six minutes left to live. What is the last
song you listened to?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I think I can squeeze in two songs. If I
got six minutes, you got six minutes. You do what
you think you can.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I would have to listen to Dougie Fresh and Slick
Ricks six minutes Dougie Fresh here on.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Because it literally counts down for six minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Really yeah, he says six minutes that it's a great
right you're not getting back in the day. I'm not
getting too I decided to go back to one all
right because it popped in my head. I'm going literally
six minute I'm gonna go on upbeat song talking about
six minutes. The chorus is all six men is six minutes,
six minutes degad fresh ground about him about him hitting
the stage. Well, that's about me hitting another stage in life. See,
I went deep with it.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I think I'm doing final countdown because it was. Yeah.
If it wasn't six minutes, I couldt another one more.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Mario Lopez on the way.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yo, Mario Lopez, time to get into your comments. What'd
you find no I mentioned?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Uh, this is from at Kim Kim ninety nine. Did
you have chores at home when you were growing up?
I imagine that's why you're successful today.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Not only did have chores at home, you weren't allowed
to just kick back and.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Watch TV at my house, no downtime.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My dad did not like that. I had always used
to like the vacuum I thing. I've said it before.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I like to do the lines. Vacuuming was my OCD.
By the way, Yeah, that is my OCD.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Vacuuming was my go to and my mom would just
have us do some stuff but I couldn't just kick
back and watch TV. I could maybe for one day,
but if I had fun that day, then I'm wasn't
allowed to have fun the next day because then my
dad would put me to work. And anybody who spend
the night one night, that's it. After that he'd start
putting end to work. So nobody stayed at night and
wanted to come over. So no, That's why I think
(02:10):
I'm always on the go, because I don't know how
to relax. Yeah, my dad never gave us a shot.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He instilled it into you so young.

years making it with my sister. We co directed it together.
That's great, and no festival wanted it. And then next thing,
you know, we finally got into a small festival and
then bigger festials and we were winning one after another,

writing letters.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think it's very not just old school but personal,
and you took the time to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I think it's meaningful. It definitely means more. Yeah, I
save a.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Lot of letters people have written me over the years,
from people that are now have now passed and you know, famous, famous,
celebrities and what have you. I would write more, but
my penmanship hasn't improved since the third grade.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
That's the problem. Well, yeah, that that people can't read it,
so you don't write as much as you think, so
you have to like concentrate. No, I know, it's crazy.
You start to realize I went to the last time
I wrote a full sentence.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Time for today's elet birthday shout out to Mario Lopez.

both have looked the same since I've met you.

What you got honey? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Love this, Love this thought, so it's yours. That's why
I love it. Coconuts have hair, flesh, and milk. Therefore
I think coconuts should be mammals.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh, I've never thought about it that way. Flesh, yes, the.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I was gonna say pulp, but the inner workings of
a coconut. Yeah, what is it like?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
What would you know? Where are you back at? All
I know is I love me some coconuts.
Speaker 2 (14:29):

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Years i'lmar Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You know I love me some crazy headlines and this
one's just insane. Lawrence van Wassenhove is suing her longtime
employer a French telecom company for discrimination after spending twenty
years on the payroll without being given any real work. Essentially,
she was paid to do nothing. Wait, so what, Yeah,
so she's complaining. She moved to a secretary of rule
in ninety three due to medical issues, but when she
(15:34):
could no longer perform those duties, her repeated request for
another position, we're ignored. Instead, she was left on standby
and eventually put on long term sickly. She says, the
result was two decades of isolation, depression, and feeling invisible.
So now she's taking legal action accusing her company of
failing to support her needs and sidelining her.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Okay, I have so many questions about this because A,
if you're getting paid to do nothing thing, who would complain?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, she is at number one and number two.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You had twenty years of being able to look for
a new job.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Yeah, but you also had twenty years to take legal
action then, Yeah, when it was happening.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
This seems weird, like a shakedown, pay me for nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm down, Well, Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
A Mario Lopez music rolls on right after a quick
reminder that the twenty twenty five. Global Citizen Festival is

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Mario Lowpez here getting close to the end of our
radio fund. Just one last thing to get to plus
probably enough.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Time to play a request or two before I get
out of here. So if you got a song you
want to hear, hit me up at all on Mario
on X y'all, Mark Courtney love Pezz squeezing in one
last thing before we get out of here.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For the night.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So Wahlberg honey face timey. You know he loves face time,
and I had my glasses on it, and he was
kind of giving me a hard time that I use
reading glasses. And I'm like, dude, we're the same age,
you're actually older than me.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Don't you use them?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He goes, I used to, but I trained my eyes
to get stronger, and I said, get at here, he goes,
bro This doctor said, your eyes are a muscle, just
like the rest of your body. If you don't use
it at eleatrophy, but you could build it back up
if you train it.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
And I'm like, are you serious? Like, yeah, I don't
use them anymore to read scripts.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And on the heels of this conversation, my buddy Davey
Daves said, I don't use them anymore either. I trained
my eyes, like well what? And then Totty, my other buddy, said,
my uncle did the same thing. And then Terry was
just overhearing the conversation and she chimed in with Paula
Cartney did.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The same thing, right, So you know a bunch of liars.
Well that's what I'm thinking, I said, is everybody trolling me?
Messing with me? Right now? All hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And then I was at pet this morning physical therapy
with McGinnis, my guy, I trusted individual, and I ran
it by him. I said, I want you to take
he goes. There's actually some truth to that, because that's
why and you use the same analogy my other friend, Kim,
did you put a patch over your eyes and you
can train one that is weaker to get as strong
as the other one, he goes.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It depends though, on the severity.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Of your eyesight and if you're near sighted faresighted, so
there is some there is some circumstances. So but bottom line, Wahlberg,
I think was right.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I've done some research. It will not solve nearsightedness or
far sightedness. It will help with eyestrain and what I
have though you have eyestrained, but it doesn't help your
actual vision. It helps prevent you from trying to basically
hurting your eyes by trying to art, but your vision
is still messed up already.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
It's not going to correct that. But go ahead and
try do your eye workouts.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Notice all men said that, No, Terry's a woman. Terry said,
Paul McCartney did it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I'm going to give it a shot. I say that,
But so now you're going to be a pirate. Here's
the thing about glasses. I feel I looked distinguished.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You do look sex or Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right, that's the time to pass the mic. So
much fun hanging out with you. A big thanks to

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
