think they need to chill. But what else are we
celebrating today, honey.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Today's also Tater Talk Day.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yes, you canna eat your tots. That's Napoleon Dynamite right there.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, kid, I gotta say that movie is amazing, but
keeping cook tater tots in your pocket not the best idea.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, how how long? Like made in the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
No, they were from the school, so they were probably
made in the morning, and they were in his pocket
until mid afternoon.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
It was it was lunchtime when he was getting the tots. Regardless.
I'm just tots in your pocket. That's like a survival
if you're gonna be stranded kind of move. But just
in school. I don't know pocket tots. Palmar Courtney Lopez,
quickly squeezing in today's celeb birthdays as always, Traisers gonna
shot him out. We're gona try to get thee ages.

(01:40):
Paul Mescal, Paul Mescal. Uh, I'm gonna say, Paul is
thirty five, thirty eight, thirty Oh okay, Shakita.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
HIPS don't why forty five?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hard to tell? She looks great. She looks the same too.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
She doesn't really changed.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
She know, Shakita. I think she Yeah, she's I'm gonna
say forty seven forty nine. I thought she Christy Brinkley,
supermodel you used to be. She looks tremendous as well.
I think Christie's seventy one.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
In the brinkley of an eye, she is seventy two.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Seventy two is correct? Why despite that joke, Mario Lopez
will be right back, keeping the music and fun coming
your way. Mario and Courtney Lopez. Here got a song
you want to hear. Hit up our mentions at on
with Mario on Facebook and x at on with Mario
Lopez on IG. Don't forget to click follow and join
the famly, So, what do you do when you're not
on your phone? You're all Mario Lopez. Well, half of

(02:41):
Americans are reportedly spending less time looking at screens. Yes,
that's good to hear. As far as what they're doing
with their newfound free time, everything from writing letters, calling friends,
hosting game nights, clicking and baking, get this, drawing, knitting
and crocheg How.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Are you calling your friends if you put your phone down?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Old school landline? All right, John Marriol Courtney Lopez digging
into the buzz because Harry and Meghan might be headed
to the big screen. Mario Lopez, Hollywood bus So, Megan
Markle and Prince Harry rumored to be in discussions about
our feature length biopick that would detail the relationship and
fall out with the British Royal family. The proposed film

(03:20):
would provide an unfiltered look at their love story, from
their first meeting to their decision to step away from
royal life. Did they? Did they? Because if you keep
your titles, what's going on? Meghan believes that much of
what they've endured has been misunderstood and hopes the biopick
will offer a new perspective. The film would not shy
away from allegations of racism within the Royal family and
negative press about Meghan. Despite potential backlash, Meghan has said

(03:43):
to be unconcerned and eager to share their side.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Of the life.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Believe that.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I don't really know where where it went wrong, Like
I can't really pinpoint a time.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, there was always controversy, but I'll tell you what
really took a turn when they made an effort to
say we just want to be private, private, and then
they left alone, we just want to have our own
little family and do our thing. And then they put
themselves out there everywhere. We saw a Netflix Netflix deal
with the book, they're sitting down with Oprah, they're doing
so you come across hypocritical, and people don't like hypocrites.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
On that note, also, you give up the royal thing,
but then you're like, it's duchess of sucks.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Says sir that I think those are the two big things.
But on that note, I got some other news to
share about Megan. In a second, Mario Lopez will be
right back. Mario Courtney Lopez and we were just talking
about Megan Markle and Prince Harry rumored to be in
discussions about doing a movie about their life and love
story and clearing up misconceptions. No one asked for it,

(04:41):
by the way, correct and honey, you were asking where
did it go wrong with why did people sort of
turn on them? Well, we were discussing that the wanting
to get left alone part coupled with the sit down
with Oprah, the book, the Netflix show doing the Martha
Stewart root, all that comes across hypocritical, and and then
you say you give up the royal life, but yet

(05:01):
you want to keep the titles. Again, you look hypocritical
because you want the benefits without doing the work. Maybe
that's why Megan was recently voted the number one most
hateable person in America over Diddy.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
All Right, are you shocked by that?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I mean, there are two completely different reasons to disclis correct.
The you know each person, but I feel for her.
It's just the there's a there's a fakeness. There's not
a there's not authentic authenticity, there's not a realness. There's

(05:42):
just something that's.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Just everything off. It feels manifested, it's just sick.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
So that's just different. She just is someone that you
feel like you can't trust.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
At On with Mario on Facebook and next at On
with Mario Lopez on Instagram. Love hearing from you, so
please hit us up questions, calm whatever, you got a
few more songs. Are gonna dig into our mentions to
see what's on your mind. That's coming up next, You're
on Mario Lopez. Quickly get into one or two of
the notes you sent our way again at On with
Mario on Facebook an x at on Mario Lopez on

(06:13):
ig All right, Fraser, who's this from?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
This is from at Carolyn Rooks. What an incredible thing
for you to do? By hooking up your friend with
the Property Brothers to renovate his house. Although got to
say you seem to enjoy smashing up his house quite
a lot. Yeah, this was a big smile on your face.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
My boy, Teddy, I got to hook him up on
the show Celebrity iou. He got a complete new kitchen,
which was really cool. But it's funny because a lot
of the feedback I've gotten they said, Mario, I didn't
know you were so handy, which is I'm gonna be honest,
I am not, but I came across handy, I guess,
so I'll take it for Mario Lopez. Coming up, Mario

(06:48):
Courtney Lopez. Here quick look at the buzz word is
Ariana Grande will return to the world of musical theater
next year. The plan is she's going to start alongside
her Wicked Coach star Jonathan Bailey, and they'll be doing
a revive of Sunday in the Park with George Play
set to premiere in London's West End twenty twenty seven,
and she told The Hollywood Reporter that she wanted to
return to theater and exercise a different muscle and tell

(07:10):
stories different ways.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, she's super talented, so I'm happy to see her
back on the stage.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah. That's the one thing about a lot of young
artists out there. They're not as talented as a grand
excuge talent. She's funny, she's a mover. She can move,
she can move. But good for her. I like that
she's going back to theater. Quadruple threat. Yeah, olmar dot
com to find out more Ali time to do activate

(07:45):
your brain. Mario Lopez here, long producer forree issue, was
going to try to make this thing with a random question,
what you got would you rather wake up in Freaky
Friday or in Groundhog Day? Now, Freaky Friday is when
you switch bodies with your child, right, Yeah, that's a
body swap guller. Yeah, and for one day or how
long does it last? What's the freaky Friday? I think
was just on Friday, Just on Friday, switch with for

(08:07):
one day. Well, I think my son could actually probably
pull off hosting this radio show. And he could, he's
done the countdown before. I don't know if I could
pull off sixth grade math. Oh, that would be so
much fun. That would be challenging. So I'm gonna go
groundhog Day just live it over. Remember towards the end,
bill Bury embraced it and he just started having fun
with Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, I'm also a groundhog day. Once you learn a
life lesson, you move on.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Almar Courtney Lopez. Now, I'm not sure if you saw
this or not, but nominees for this year is iHeart
Podcast Awards are officially out.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
The twenty twenty six Iheard Podcast Awards will take place
March sixteenth in Austin, Texas, and the winner of the
top award would be determined by your votes at On
with Mario dot com Slash Podcast Awards.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
You're a Mario Courtney Lopez. Okay, we've taken a break
from documentaries because we were going hard, back to back hard.
There was a lot, There was a lot, there was
a lot. We needed to lighten it up. So we
threw and Landman the series, which was great this season,
and a little comedy Tulsa King. Tulsa King, Yes, is.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
That a comedy?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
No, But he's got he's got humorous.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Moments murdering people every other scene. But he wanted to
light there are some jokes, So there are some jokes.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Basically all Taylor Sheridan shows. He's killing it on that
level anyway, we did that, but now we're back on
our dock bingch and we kicked it off by watching
the new one on Netflix called Evil Influencer, the Jody
Hildebrandt story. I was not familiar with this, and wow
it is. Do we give spoilers? I mean you gotta

(09:40):
give spoilers.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think you can give a few. Like I saw
the opening thing and.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I was hooked.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Can I ask you something? Did you know about this story?
I did not either, because I knew a lot about
this story previously, so I did not learn a lot
of new things. However, they did show interviews and phone
calls from jail on that kind of stuff, a lot
of footage that I hadn't seen. But my takeaway is

(10:09):
this woman is these people are.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Without giving too much away, this woman essentially created a
cult but sort of used the Mormon Church as a
crutch and almost like a plucking ground and infrastructure to
kind of prey on these people who are going through
troubles or or at their weakest moments. But what she

(10:32):
got them to do to their own children is wild.
I think that's enough of maybe the spoiler teasers, but
it's it's wild and she and her little friends deserve
everything that was coming to me. Good on the judge,
you're coming down hard.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, no, she ruined lives, families. I mean, this woman
is just evil evil.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Mario Lopez coming up. Dust off your turntable, record player,
or whatever you call it. Because vinyl sales continue to
rise here in the States, Mario Courtney Lopez. Want to
guess who's selling the most vinyl us? Yeah, Taylor Swift?
How much for Shocker? She's number one with Life of
a Showgirl. She sold one point six million copies on vinyl.
Then Sabrina Carpenter her Homie came in second with Man's

(11:16):
Best Friend. Overall vinyl albums jump for the nineteenth consecutive
year in twenty twenty five. GEO wasn'to it for like
a hot second?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, Gia got it as a gift. She never asked
for it. She got it as a gift from someone.
And then so you know, to piggyback on that gift,
I would get her some vinyls. It lasted for a
hot second novel just on your phone.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
So much easier, just more convenient.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, like I like I have a turntable and I
have some vinyl stuff, but it's like, I'm not going
to go put that on and then.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Go work out. I'm gonna listen to my phone. Right
I'm Maroo Courtney Lopez getting a one last thing. Shortly
in the meantime, Cordo gonna try to make us laugh
with a fresh mom joke. All right, kid, what do
you got?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Did you hear about the whig thief who escaped from prison?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Police are combing the area to find him.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Ah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I kind of whispered it.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
You did, like you're the thief.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, well maybe I am.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
John mar Lopez. Squeeze And then one last thing before
we get out of here. I got to do something
pretty cool. A few days ago, I was hosting the
official kickoff party for the FIFA World Cup, which will
be launched here in La about a little over one
hundred days from now.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh that's quick.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
First matches USA VERSUS Paraguay going.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
For the US, Yes, and Canada.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
The States and Mexico will all be part of the festivities,
with games taking place in all three countries. Eight matches
in total will be in Los Angeles. And tickets, as
you can imagine, are pretty much through the roof. But
there will be a lot of fun fan events and
fan zones. I will be hosting some of them. They're

(13:04):
gonna be big, big parties, so if you're in the area,
want to check it out. It's gonna be a good time.
It's been over thirty two years since we last had
a World Cup here, so we'll keep all the info
for you at Onmarria dot com. Well, Mario Lopez, we'll
be right back, all right. I am out of here,
