Which there's a ton of nominees for a Nora the Brutalist,
A Complete Unknown Conclave, Doune Part two, Amelia Perez, I'm
still here. Nickel Boys The Substance and Wicked Nickel.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Boys, I'm still here. I didn't even hear of those
two before.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
With all due respect, I think the Academy will honor
Wicked again. Going back to my philosophy, they want to
be more inclusive to box office fair.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
But I could be wrong, so not Doom Part two.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I can't believe Doom Part two was nominee. I mean,
I only say that because it's it's it seems like
it would be like a Marvel type movie.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, obviously it's been.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's really good.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I'm shocked that's in there as well.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
But maybe it's part of their your theory of them
trying to broaden out the thing exactly.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Bring in more casual fans.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
I say nickel Boys because it sounds like Nickelback, and.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
Last Breath Woody Harrelson, See Me Lou, the true story
of seasoned deep sea divers who battle the raging elements
to rescue a crew mate who has trapped hundreds of
feet below the ocean's surface. Kill me, just put me
out on my miss.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
I saw the trailer.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's a most awful circumstance you can think of. A
diver is down the running out of bear and they're
trying to rescue. Can you imagine that almost happened to
me one time. I wasn't that deep, fortunately, only like
forty fifty feet deep, but still it's a scary feeling.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
And this is a true story, right, My dead friend
Zoe Saniqua Martin Green, Natalie Morales Ed Harris engaged in
a mysterious relationship with her dead best friend from the army.
A female Afghanistan veteran comes head to head with her
Vietnam Vet grandfather at the family's ancestral lake house.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
It seems like a lot going on, but this is
what This is getting a lot of positive.

Speaker 3 (11:02):

dead friend Zoe.

Mario Lopez, We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Add on with Mario on Facebook and X add all
Mario Lopez on IG Please hit me up. We love
hearing from you, questions, comments.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Whatever you got Mario Lopez here? What'd you find frasier?

Speaker 4 (11:17):
This is from that classy carrot Tom. Imagine if your
dad was a minotaur and your mom was a mermaid,
but you only got the human half of both, so
you're just some lame guy.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Biology is wild.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Biology is wild, classy.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Don't think there's other two things exist.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
But hypothetically speaking, if that was the case, I would
imagine you'd still be a very good swimmer and very
fast because you got to have a little DNA of
the horse and mermaid in there. Yeah, could you breathe underwater?
That'd be awesome. See, there's got to be advantages like that.
I think it would actually be cooler.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
More Mario Lopez coming up a.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Mario Corney Lopez getting ready to celebrate the best in

Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right in the home stretch final hour before we
get the weekend started, Mario Lopez Here got our comment
of the Week coming up a little later this hour,
so hang tight for that. More music as well, Just
a few songs away from this week's fake debate. Courtney
and I are gonna be battling it out next all right,
time to choose your side, Team Mario or Team Courtney,
because it's time for another fake debate where the topics

(12:37):
are made up on the spot.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
But the passion is all real. So who's gonna be con,
Who's gonna be pro?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
You will be pro, Corney will be con. Fifteen seconds,
make your case, ten second rebuttal afterwards. Your topic today
is just being nominated.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Just being nominated is I'm pro, yepe, I'm assuming for
the Oscars, for anything, I guess whatever you want it
to be. Just being nominated is a win in and
of itself. And I would rather be like Susan Lucci
and Diane Warren and be nominated twenty times than ever
actually win because it makes you more relevant.

Speaker 7 (13:11):
Lopez, everything you just said people do not agree with
because if you're not first your last.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Ricky Bobby, Yeah, that is not exactly the case right there.
And I'll tell you what I would trade places with
Diane Warren. And I don't want to offend anyone, some
first time winners, some one time winners that you've never
heard before.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Any day of the week, here's Lopez or Ricky Bobby.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Sweet baby Jesus.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Sweet baby Jesus said that what you just said is ludicrous,
And what's the point of being nominated? You're so excited
and then you don't hear your name. I mean, you
might as well just crawl back under a rock.

Speaker 1 (13:52):

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Mario Courtney Lopez here, quick look at the buzz Because
Tate McCrae reacting to the crazy yet.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Flattering remarks fans have been making comparing her to a
popey icon Britney Spears.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Tate says she's surprised to have.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Her any mentioned on the same level as someone she
uses as being the blueprint. She says the comparisons are
flattering and scary.

Speaker 7 (14:38):
I can hear it in her voice. It has the
same kind of tone.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Eh, baby, baby, It's.

Speaker 7 (14:43):
Okay, I'm okay, I'm ahead, Yeah, got it, But Tate McCrae,
I feel like just has the whole package if she
were to sing Live.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Nice at All, Mario Lopez on ig at All, Mario
on Facebook and next love hearing from your questions, comments,
random thoughts, whatever you got, Mario Courtney Lopez.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Here a time for our comment of the week. Who
gets the honor today?

Speaker 7 (15:05):
This is from at Rudy Henderson and they said, well,
I don't know who these experts are, but if middle
adulthood is now defined as beginning at thirty five, then
how is my forty five year old but defined geriatric?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I posed to this article where these quote experts are
saying middle Basically middle adulthood is at thirty five. Well,
this isn't the Stone age, as we only live to sixty.
Come on, middle age at this point should be closer
to like forty five, yeah, in fifty.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Like forty five and fifty.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's also weird because now they say you're not really
fully These same experts are like, you're not really fully
an adult till you're like twenty seven. So you're saying
that you get like seven years of being an adult
before you're middle aged.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
So all these people are getting married before, being like
that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's wild. I think it's because so many people are
still living at home.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yes, who are these people?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Want to be the tweet of the week. Tweet us
on with Mario and hang on because Mario Lopez. We'll
be right back.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's it for the night and the week. Big thanks
to he was always for hanging out with us. More
fun on Monday, new real House off Beverly Hills, boz
of them A Saint John will be here.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Plus we're going to recap the Oscars and more.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
