Speaker 2 (05:49):
Getting back to Actress and singer Jennifer Lewis is on
Zoom with us the Sara Mario Lopez Here a new
animated sports comedy Goat and you play Flow Everson, the
owner of one of the teams. What's the storyline for
your character?

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Oh, come on now, Flow is a hot mess. Usually
I play the villain. I think it's because of my
deep voice. You know, but Flow, she's a shyster. She's look,
she's greedy, she's rich and she's greedy. Uh. She kind

(06:22):
of just cares about herself and her nails.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
She makes sure her nailed it down.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
She has the massages and the cucumbers over the eyes,
and she's all business, no compassion whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
So a lot of similarities to you in real life, right,
Almara Lopez got actress and singer General Lewis on zoom
new animated sports comedies called Goat. And it's funny that
your character is named Flow because you were Flow in
the Cars franchisees.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
So there have been rumors of a Cars four recently.
Have you heard anything on that front?

Speaker 6 (06:59):

Yeah a lot.

Speaker 3 (07:15):

And there's also a Princess and the.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Frog ride where I played Mama Odi and I have
to brag that my animatronic looks more human.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Than the others. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
And she's featured on the ride because you know, Mama
Odi runs it once again. A little sass but a
lot of wisdom. Yes, she's one hundred and two years old.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's a good combo, right there.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Wow, all right, a few more songs. We're gonna come
back with Jennifer Lewis. Don't move, Mario Lopez the Air
catching up with actress and singer Jennifer Lewis's Hour. And

You know, I love working with him. I Blackish was very.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Successful, eight year run, and he's look, he's a genius.
He's family for me now. And when he called, I
of course said yes right away. But I got to
tell you, Audibles, when you're the star, that's a lot

(08:32):
of work. Because my character narrated the Audible.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh my god, her name is Dot.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
You know, Cedric the Entertainer and niece Nash are the
other stars of the Audible, And of course you know
we're all good friends. And the chemistry in this Audible
is it's electrifying, it's magic, and I loved working with them.
Cedric the Entertainer, it's just stupid and I hope he

(09:02):
hears this. He's a hot mess. We had so much
fun a NISI and I good friends.

You're all, Mario Lopez, before you go? What were you
just saying before the break?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
You know, I gotta tell him.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
There's a saying called it gets greater later, and it
really does, Mario, And I'm gonna tell you one of
the reasons. Okay, little things don't bother you anymore. The stress.
It's like, honey, go over there, right, dotsy, Honey, I

(09:51):
get out of there. No toxic people, no drama, no lies.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
And you have to know how to come to the table.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Yep. How can we set boundaries and work this out?
And a lot of people are not able to do that,
And I've kind of lost a lot of friends of
many years because of coming into my own and having
now the wisdom at my age.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
But you know, look, if you do it with love,
You're okay.

You need to take care of your mouth. You can't
be rolling around there with yuckmouth for everyone.
