Courtney Lopez. Here, what'd you find in our inbox?

Speaker 4 (01:37):
This is from at fort Lives and they said until
they make a fast and Furious Christmas movie with Vin
Diesel drag racing a sled pulled by reindeer and teaching
elves about family, the franchise will just never be complete.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
For me.

but you do you Fort Lives. I'm Mario Courtney Lope.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's rank with Mario Lopez.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
All right, Lopez not Rushmore Holiday Movies, Go Love.

Actually, I've been consistent number one for me. Okay, but
Mount Rushmore, They're all that's true.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, so that home alone, Once upon a Christmas Wish Family,
and one more Christmas Vacation.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Incorrect, The last one is Felice Navi Dad.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay, yeah, Gia.

My top five would have to be elf Christmas Vacation,
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Holiday and handcuffs because I think
that is just so super cute. Everyone wants a second
holiday and handcuffs. By the way, Christmas Movies, Christmas Story.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
That's four.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You're a Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Every week we like to honor someone for doing a
good deed with our good deed Lopezi Award.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Who we honoring this week?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Honey, we are honoring t Swift. They wanted only Taylor Swift. Well,
she just wrapped up her Airs tour after two years
of shows and over forty seven songs something like that,
and it was revealed.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
That over the course of the tour.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
She gave out one hundred and ninety seven million dollars
in bonuses. You've heard that correctly, from the production crew
to the dancers, choreographers, truck drivers, merchandise vendors, and people
in other roles all earned bonuses. She gave away about
ten percent of her gross tour earnings, which is far

(03:35):
above the industry standard. And you know what, that's why
she is going to stay on top.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
She gets it, she takes care of she gets its
care of her. So good for her.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Taylor's smart and her dad's I think very much involved,
and I'm sure he had a big influence on her.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Happy.

biting trailer for season three of White Lotus, which is

We are huge fans of White Lotus. But to confirm
Jennifer Coolidge, she died.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
She did roiler alert.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
So she won't be in this one unless she comes.

Gavin de Gras and his new Christmas album, and I
mentioned that my son Dominic was playing All I Want

Yes, why is no one told me that in ten years?
Okay stop, Oh my god, it's beautiful. I know.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Okay, good, yeah, no, but the keys were bad.

Speaker 6 (05:51):

Holidays from the entire on with Mario fam more fest
and fun coming up.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Mario Lopez.

(06:37):

gonna talk holiday music with us.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Don't move.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
All Mario Lopez and Enjoying Now on Zoom to talk
about his new holiday album Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I worry you man, hey, but.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
It's great talking to you as always. Thanks so much
for having me on. I appreciate this. I know you're
a busy man, and I appreciate you taking the time to.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Talk to me.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh, it is my pleasure.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
And I love that you love the holidays and if
you had your way, you'd be listening to jingle bells
on the fourth of July and how you roll as
far as your Christmas love. You've had a lot of
great collabs on the album, like the Jonas Brothers on
the song Holiday. Tell us about the song and working
with them, and it's only I would imagine it's difficult
coming up with original Christmas songs, right, because I went

(07:37):
a little crazy.

Speaker 8 (07:38):
To be honest, I went a little crazy because originally
what I was going to do was put out an
album that was The Twelve Days of Christmas Sweaters, and
I was going to do cover songs of famous holiday songs,
you know, Christmas songs.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
And then I.

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Recorded one, and to be honest, it was not that great.
It was fine, and I go, what am I doing?
I mean, I'm not I'm not Michael Bouble, I'm not
Kelly Clarkson. I'm not, you know, I can't. They do
this much better than I do this. So I go,
I think I should do a comedy album. Every song
should be a joke, you know. And and so the

(08:14):
label was right, I guess I don't know, you know,
but you know, we'd like to get a little you know,
radio play.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
So I tried to do both. So I did.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
They're comedy songs, but they're poppy, but they're fun.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
I got some weird ones in there.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
But I asked the Jonas brothers if they would do
a song with me, and they were like, awesome.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
So we just shot a video for the song called
Holiday and.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
They're stuck in a snow globe and I'm in a
hardware store holding the snow globe shaking them and it's silly,
but it's a good kind of roller disco.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Type of jam. I got Will Ferrell to do a
song on the album.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
We have a song called one Glove, which is basically like,
do you ever walk down the street and you see
like one glove in the slush or in the snow?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Like, well, how does that happen?

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah? And you want to know what what's the story?

Speaker 8 (09:03):
With who has the other glove? Are they, you know,
are they missing a glove? Are they missing each other?
And so we're kind of starcrossed friends that never meet
and just wondering what's the story with the other person
that has the glove?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
All right, Jimmy Haynes Ti, We're gonna have more with
Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Coming up, Tabby Holidays from the entire on with Mario
fam or fest and fun coming up, al.

Speaker 3 (09:23):

in the meantime, I'm gonna keep the music coming your way.

If you got a song you want to hear, please

Mario Lopez, just a couple of quick holiday questions for you.
What famous person do you think would be the most
fun to spend the holidays with?

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Oh, my gosh. I mean, I think, would it be
fun to hang out with Mariah Carey? I think so? Yeah? Right,
holiday has got to be insane?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yes, yes, I agree with that. What would your elf
name be?

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Maybe Jimathy good sounds it sounds like an elf name.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Favorite Christmas gift that you received growing up.

Speaker 8 (10:21):
I got an electric guitar from Santa Claus, and that
blew my mind.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
That was the coolest thing ever ever received.

Speaker 8 (10:29):
I couldn't believe it because I was playing on this
cheap guitar that we got at the music store that
had plastic strings on it, and I was.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
Happy with that.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
And then I didn't even know about it or know
that we could afford it.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
But uh, I got an electric guitar, and I walked
down and go, oh, my gosh, if only they knew that,
I'd be writing.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Songs like Christmas ding down and stuff with it. But
either way, did you go electric before me?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Before acoustic?

Speaker 6 (10:55):
I did acoustic before elect.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
She did acoustic before because I got my daughter playing
recently too, she mu straight electric and go really well.
She pluted the piano before, but she wanted to go electrics.
I was like, I thought you had to go acoustic first.
I guess she enjoyed. She's sticking with it.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
She is, She's sticking with it.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
They all play piano, and now my boys starting in
addition the drums and my daughter the guitar.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
I got to get into music. I started with clarinet, clarenett.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
Clarinet is not a popular instrument to go to parties
and pull out a clarinet and you hear some songs,
so I go, I gotta take a different instrument. And
then I did piano for a little bit. And I
didn't love my piano teacher, and she had bad breath
and I didn't like it. And you have to sit
really close to your piano teacher. Yeah, I mean share

(11:42):
the bench. If they have bad breath, that's oh yeah,
that's that's bad.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Hey man, hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
If I don't get to see you too, blessed Christmas.

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