Speaker 2 (07:20):
We'll hit up Aalmara dot com to find out more
about Heidi's new music, and Hey, tight. We're gonna have
more with Heidi coming up. Maria Lopez here, catch up
with Heidi Prat this hour, been talking about our time
on the Mass Singer. But you also have a podcast
with your husband Spencer. The Fame Game. What kind of
stuff y'all talking about there?

Speaker 6 (07:37):
You know, it's really turned into like the political game.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
I thought it was gonna be more fame focused, but
it definitely has a lot of people in LA and
different issues that are going on, and a lot of
gosh this volume and a lot of things going on
with rebuilding and paliseds and everything.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Al mari A Lopez as quickly getting back to Heidi Pratt,
who's on zoom And your husband, of course, is running
for mayor of LA right now. How's the campaign coming along?

Speaker 7 (08:08):
He I think got all of his signatures last night.
He was out talking to hundreds of people, all the
signatures to be on the ballot. So one step at
a time. Obviously, I fully support him and really excited
for that and hopeful for LA because we definitely you
want it to be as safe and great as possible.
So you know, he's got to make those tiktoks inspired

(08:28):
by you, your tiktoks, by the way, are on fire.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
They are so good you and your wife and your family, Like,
my gosh, they're so good.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Thank you all right, well, Hank Tach, one more thing
I want to ask when to take a quick break
and come back and wrap it up.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
You're the full interview now at on with Mario dot Com.
More Mario Lopez on the way.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Wrap it up with Heidi Pratt, who is hanging out
on zoom with us Here with Mario Lopez and Heidi
before you go, we were just talking about your husband,
Spencer running for mayor of La. So what's been the
response for you guys.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
It's been great, really supportive. I think people are ready
for a change. It's nice to not have a career
politician there. You know, he's not doing it for the
money or the glamor of it. He's really doing it
because he wants La to be a better place. He's
born and raised there and he wants it to be
how it used to be. I mean, we know a
different La, and the crime and so much is just
out of control at this point. So someone needs to

(09:18):
come in and brain it back in and refund the
police and kind of clean up the streets, and he
is ready to do the dirty work and the hard work.
And the good thing about being so criticized and borderline hated,
as his former book says, the guy you loved past
hints to hate is that we've experienced so much criticism
and hatred, so we're not afraid.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Of that and ready to dive in there. Yeah. No,
I'd love to take And you're right because you need
thick skin in politics.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
And good for you, guys.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well listen to everyone. Be sure to catch the latest
season of The Mass Singer at Wednesday nights on Fox,
and check out Heidi's podcast The Fame Game on iHeartRadio
or wherever you get your pods. How do you think?

many ways to get a note to us, Mario and
Courtney Lopez Here, we love hearing from you. A little
more music and we're gonna dig into our mentions to

No jo on Mario Courtney Lopez, been filtering through all
the notes you sent our way, questions, comments, random jokes,
whatever you got. We love hearing from you. Who's this
one from? Honey?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
This is from at mac Jesse Yo Will Quinton testifying
in front of Congress. Everyone's obsessed with female ice skaters,
new scream movie. The nineties are back, baby, Let's go
play some trouble womba.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
You know what, Mac Jesse, You're right.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
The nineties do seem to be coming back. And I
recently read that gen Z is now fascinated with DVDs, CDs.

Speaker 8 (11:11):
Actual physical digital cameras instead of it and instead of
just using their phones, they want digital cameras and stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Maybe there is hope for.

Speaker 7 (11:20):
Them, Maybe all the CDs I threw away, I know,
right more Mario Lopez coming up, John, Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Spring break around the corner. But word is that this
year it's looking a little buppy. College students hoping for
sun and fun might need backup plan. The recent unrest
in Mexico has some travelers rerooting in cities like Miami
Beach are making it clear that the party days are over.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
The police chief.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Wayne Jones even says the city has quote divorced spring break.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh that's huge.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I feel like things will be safer. Kids can go
relax and have fun and still party in a way, hey,
but also make it healthy. And Panama City Beach is
also shutting down parts of the beach as well. And
if that wasn't enough, there's apparently a massive thirty eight
million metric ton carpet of stinky seaweed that say scientists

(12:14):
say could hit the beaches soon.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
So well, that'll discourage anyone more.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
For another helpful life hacker too. Can you give us
a little clue about today's topic?

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Road trips?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Ooh, you know me, I'm only down for like a
three hour road trip. Tops all right, Cordos corner coming up,
neck Amaro, Courtney Lopez, quick stop in a Cordo's corner
for something fresh.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
All about road trips today?

Speaker 7 (13:07):
Right?

Speaker 5 (13:08):
That is correct.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
So we've all offered to drive on a road trip
only to get annoyed at our.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Passengers or children.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
And a new study asked what are the bad habits
that make drivers go crazy?

Speaker 6 (13:19):
So these are the things that.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
You should not do.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Top of the list is backseat driving, of course, be quiet,
Just be quiet. Then comes leaving trash behind and eating
messy or smelly food. You can definitely, you know, just
just have a trash bag there. And just as you're
I do this on the airplane too, because I'm not
I'm not rude on an airplane, I put it in
a bag. Your feet up on the dashboard. Nobody wants

(13:45):
to see your.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Toes, okay, or your dirty feet are your dirty feet?

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Other things on the list are changing the music without asking, talking, talking,
loudly on.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
The phone.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
And giving unwanted direction. But sometimes it's just the comments
that make us nuts, like you could have made that light,
or I would have taken a different route, So I
could have made that You could have made that light.
Is something you would say, honey, and I would have
taken a different route, of something my mom would say.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
And the classic are we there yet? Is of course
the kid with.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
The kids would So you all need to just leave
me alone. You know what's a good thing to do
when you're taking a road trip and you're not driving, Sleep,
take a nap.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Gomez washed his feet.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
A Mario Lopez about to head off for the night.
Button not before we squeeze in one last thing. Eminem's
Flavor vote competition is back after a seven year break,
and there are three flavors to choose from.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Now.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
They are on store shelves and you can at MS
dot com after trying them.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
What do we got, honey, Eminem's peanut butter cinnamon roll.
It's reminiscent afresh from the oven roll.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
You know, it sounds good.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I don't know if I want that in my chocolate,
but I'm not gonna knock I try.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I feel like that could become too much too quickly.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Eminem's cherry chocolate cupcake, a bakery inspired bite with a
sweet finish.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
They're really getting created, okay.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
And Eminem's lemon merangue pie bright citrus flavor combined with
smoothie white chocolate.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Wow, so outside from the original. In Peanut I do
love the dark m and ms, and I also love
the rice crispy Eminem.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
The peanut butter minms are good too.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Peanut butter is not bad either.

Speaker 8 (16:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
They're not Reese's pieces, but they're they're good.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
First of all, Ree's pieces are disgusting.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Love them and you.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't eat the Recis pieces, but I do eat
the Recais peanut butter cups.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Yeah, I like that Reese's pieces I can't stand.

Speaker 8 (17:00):
Yeah, I'll get sick eating too many. Yeah yeah, yeah,
that's how they called I know how that not.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
To deviate, but they actually had reached out to Eminem's
and Eminem's past for the movie.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
They didn't want to say huge mon I mean, they're fine, but.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
They're fine, but think about how iconic you're.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Okay, we're doing okay, but that would have been huge.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Anyway, my point is to this, since you rudely cut
me off, is that I just like a normal milk,
chocolate or a peanut Eminem more.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Mario Lopez coming up.
