You got a new movie out called Killing Mary Sue.
Looks like a wild one. You play a corrupt senator,

Yeah, because she's sort of scandal ridden and she's getting
in the way of my re election campaign.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can't have that.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah, and also I figured the sympathy vote, so just
kill the step daughter. And you gotta see this movie.
It's a mayhem. It comes on really strong and it
never stops. So a great comedy. A cast pull off
this excellent young filmmaker James kse Sunshine put this whole

(06:04):

a part of.

everybody will wait for it. It's kind of a Swing
for the Fences kind of movie. Is that for everybody?

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Maybe not, but I bet it's for everybody under thirty eight.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
There you go, there you go. I'm not earner thirty eight,
but I'd like to check out.

Speaker 7 (06:27):

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Getting back to German mulroney, who's on zoom with us
this hour. New movie is killing Mary Sue Mario Lopez here,
and also love me some Westerns, and I know you
starting a few of them, and you got a new
one coming out later this year called Long Shadows. What's
this one about?

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Well, it's amazing, amazing classic western like vintage period piece
American tale. William Shockley with his producers, cooked it up,
wrote it and directed. He's a well known actor and
did an incredible job blaming May's in the lead part.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
And I play old de fun slinger.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Type with a twist and really incredible cast in a
big uti full classic movies. So that's that's out there.
That's out there. Sin I just I'll even drop it
in since you brought it up. I just shaved up
half my beard, so it looked kind of cool when
I came on your show over the weekend. I've acted
just the two nights on my son's short film that's

(07:37):
a Western called Three Dead Boys. So look for that
on the Western Film Festival Shorts Circuit sometime soon.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I love that, Like I said, I really do. It's
probably my favorite genre. All right, more with Dermot coming
up the first one music catching up with actor Jerma
Moroney this hour. Mario Lopez here and quickly we were
just talking about you working with your son on the
short film. That's awesome. You got to you get to
work with your son. I've got to work with mine
a couple of times.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Yeah, that's my son, Clyde mulroney. So we'll tell you
about that when it comes out.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And is he directing or acting along with you?

Speaker 7 (08:08):
He wrote it in the forms. One of the roles
just three guys desk Broadus in the desert. Really cool.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Exciting of course to work with family, tiny crew all
in the same Airbnb type of shoot. That harkens back
to the early days. Yeah, his early days and mine
not so early days. Overlapped. It's really really remarkable. Thanks
for letting me touch on that.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Absolutely. When you're ready to go, come back and talk.
We'll talk to you and your son. That'll be awesome.
All right, Hey, Tyg, gonna play a little more music
and come back with some more Druman You're all Mari Lopez,
actor Jerman mulroney on Zoom with us this sourman talking
about your movies. But you're also in Chicago Fire on
NBC season thirteen. Wow, just wrapped up with some drama

(08:49):
for your character right there. What can fans expect in
the upcoming season?

Speaker 6 (08:53):
Well, I know nothing about the story as always, which
is an incredible thing I think. Anyhow, it's kind of
new for me where you really just don't know the
week by week what's going to happen then to you
next you become so associated with your own character play
the whole series length of time, so I don't know

(09:14):
what happens. I can say officially now that I am
back for season fourteen, So that's wonderful news. I think
at about episode eighteen or nineteen, they could have gone
any way with a cheap pascal. I could have been
axed out of sent up the river, whatever it was.
I made it through the season with some terrible loss
and had the honor of portraying a family member, you

(09:38):
know in deep Greek sudden loss and not just again.
The difference for me is I might have played that
in a movie, but then it's over here. It's the
kind of loss that plays and never goes away. And
you see my character very complex process of trying to
trying to go through the early days of loss and
get back to work and kind of fail and fall
down and have that firehouse. It's an amazing storyline. Season thirteen.

(10:03):
Season fourteen, we start shooting about three weeks.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh, that's awesome in Chicago.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
I generally go back and forth, but I love being
there and was there for all sorts of outdoor action scenes.
All Weather started in July one hundred. Can't say it
was one hundred. It was ninety eight that day in
Chicago's heat city heat and at the the depths of February,
of course, it was zero degrees outside at night. You

(10:30):
catch that show, even a frame in that show sometime
Mari and you see that breath.

Speaker 7 (10:34):
Coming out of all I can see it and add
in the air and there's fat flames back lived behind
us in Water Guy.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
It's incredible crew that puts that together every week, so
we're lucky to get back and do it some more soon.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's awesome. Yeah, I did a project out there just
outside of Chicago, in Chicago and in Long Grove some towns,
and we had a lot of the crew that works
from your show. As a matter of fact, they were great.
I just came get over a cold. It was still
in April. It was snowing in April. It's ridiculous until
we do exactly one more thing. I want to ask
on hank Ty quick Break, We're gonna come back and
rap it up with Germany.

A Mario Courtney Lopez. Time to learn a new live act.
What is the topic today in Courney's Corner? Fresh fridges.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
So this has been going viral on TikTok of coals.
You start with two tablespoons of baking soda. You mix
it in a little dish with some water. Now take
that paste and spread it over both ends of a
roll of toilet paper. Stick the toilet paper roll directly
in the fridge and it will suck up all the
odors inside, keeping your fridge fresh and clean. This is

(13:29):
a new take with the toilet paper, because before you
could just open the baking soda and put the box
in there.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes, you're going You're going next level with this one.
You know who loves fresh fridges? Jeff Bridges, what more?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I think you've done a good job of doing that. Sometimes,
just for fun, I'll comment you two look nice on
a photo of three people, just to watch the questions unfold.
Because you know why people do it to me whenever
there's a picture of me and you in a picture,
and not because I need to be validated, but when
people are like, oh, Mario, you look so handsome.

sucks when you single somebody out rude.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's up all the more. On Courtney Lopez and yesterday
we were talking about an article in People magazine and
it was just because they've been putting out these confusing headlines,
and I guess it works. It makes you want to
click on it and find.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
Out what's really going on because you have to decipher it.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
However, I always post a bunch of different headlines. You
follow me on IG and I try to put a
witted comment or just whatever I'm thinking. Daily Mail recently
posted one and there was no confusion. I just can't
believe they posted it along with a picture. It read
and I'm quoting. Meet Derek Blastberg, Hollywood socialite accused of
fleeing Gwyneth Paltrow's Hampton's home after quote catastrophic diarrhea. Who

(15:38):
counts Jeff Bezos and Demi Mora as his pals? Can
you imagine you blew it up so bad that they
had to write a news article about you, and then
they put a picture of you.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Can you imagine being Jeff Bezos and the other person
who are now attached to the sky.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
Yeah, just like, what the hell he's catching strays over here?
You attaching me to the diarrhea guy. But this guy forever.
If I know this guy, he's forever diary boy. Every
time I see this was an article? Is this the
wildest article ever?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
So?

Speaker 5 (16:10):
