on with Courtney Lopez. We're keeping it festive and fun
with a random question. All right, Fraser, your turn. What
do you got?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We're turning it around on you because you usually ask
the question, So, what is your most memorable Christmas gift?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
My most memorable Christmas gift? I don't know if I
have specifically a gift, but my memory of just waiting
my parents would go downstairs to see if Santa came,
and yeah, you know, and thet yeah, let me go
(01:04):
see if he came, and they know Santa came, and
and I just remember I can remember standing at the
top of the steps just with you know, so much excitement.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
The anticipation, anticipation.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But of course, you know, my parents worked to make
ends meet and we didn't have a lot, but we
always felt like we had so much, So, you know,
I think that's that's my favorite gift for me.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It was Fireball Island. What is that? Sounds like a drink.
It was a board game when I was a kid
with a volcano.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Actually, now that you say that, now that you say that,
Mall Madness.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Was a board game, okay. And it was a shopping mall,
of course.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
And it actually came back a few years ago and
I bought it for Gia because I thought it was cool.
Ended up getting rid of it. She never used it.
You should it, I should have The.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Countdown at Christmas continues in moments This is on with

a reminder for the biggest night of the holiday season,
and of course I'm talking about iHeartRadio. Jingle Ball, presented
by Capitol One. It's going down Friday, December thirteenth from

Mario's out today, so you get me lucky you, and
you get Fraser Lady, who's got some birthday shout outs
(03:34):
for us. As always, Fraser, you tell us who's celebrating,
and I will try and guess the age, and I
guess even if I'm wrong, I win.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, you do, you technically win automatically. I think Donnie Osmond,
someone I used to work with, one of the nicest
guys in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Donnie is momed sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
He is sixty seven? Shut up? Are you serious? The
wordplay was terrible, but the age was correct. Felicity Huffman
for I'm Jailbird.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Desperate Housewives, she is Felicity is sixty.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Three sixty two.
Speaker 2 (04:08):

John Malkovich from being John Malkovich.

I would.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Be would be fifty eight seventy one. Oh, he's that old, okay.
And Dame Judy Dinch.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Dame Judy, you know, just because she's a dame, you
think they're older. I don't really know why they say dame.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's an honor from the monarch. So I think Queen Elizabeth,
when she was still alive, the second made her a
dame it's like being knighted, but you're a dame.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Still don't understand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):

In this no, okay, no Mario. You know, Mario had
probably the one lead in a musical that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):

I know you guys met doing a chorus line. Yeah,
And obviously I didn't see course line. He always talks
about it, and I haven't seen this movie yet.

I hope they do it. Fraser, what you got, Well,
if you have someone who looks at screens all day
like a child or me, peepers by peeper specks blue
light reading glasses. They'll keep you from getting a headache
while you're staring at those screens.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I actually like this, And during COVID when the kids
were homeschooling, I bought all the kids those glasses because
unfortunately they were sitting at a screen a lot more
than well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And kids in general just look at iPads all day,
and we look at our phones all day. Violet and
Brooks velvet foldable ear muffs. Ooh okay, so they're compacts
you can travel. Mario should have had these form New York.
He should justin Gregory Fox leather gloves. These gloves bring
a luxury feel for less than fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Nice. I love the look of leather gloves. But obviously,
if you don't want to go that route, the faux
leather is the way to go.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And you'll probably like this. Kay Carrol color me clutch
led handbag. You need a red bag to match your outfit?
What about blue? This bag turns colors because it's it's
covered in led lights. I don't know if I want
to lie here has an Oprah choice either.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You literally light up a room wherever you go. You know,
it sounds like something a younger girl would would have
fun with. Not don't buy that for.

It's Courtney Lopez with a quick reminder to check out
all the fun we had at the Hollywood at Christmas
Parade on the CW December fourteenth. I'm going to tell
you about this day. So we had to be ready
(11:45):
by four o'clock to leave. Okay, the boys had a
wrestling tournament, and we thought we have to be there
so early. We'll be home by like one o'clock. We'll
have ample time to get ready. It was a very
poorly ran wrestling tournament. Took for ever, the weights in
between each brackets. It just was. It was horrible.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It was the perfect storm. It was the.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Perfect storm, but We said to Dominic, if it's two thirty,
we gotta leave, like, there's no way we can stay
for your all your meats. We get he gets one
in and it's two thirty. We get home. It's almost
three thirty. I had to get myself. No, there's a
red carpet. We're riding in there, there's a hole.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It's not just riding the prey. There's a whole thing beforehand,
there's everything right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And I said to Mario, can I please stay home?
And of course he's like, no, this is a family thing.
I get the bra rally rally exactly. I get the
boys ready. I get myself ready, which really didn't. Threw
my hair back in a low, messy bun because like
I said, I had a hat on all day. It
looked terrible. It was flat. It was gross, through makeup on,
(12:50):
through this sweater on with jeans, completely underdressed. Get there.
After we do the red carpet. I look down at
my sweater that I had gotten dry clean. Oh no,
And on the buttons they were like crystal buttons. Okay,
never looked down because I just threw it over my head.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I didn't un buttoned.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The buttons were all covered with foil from the dry cleaner.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You need to say, it's all festive decoration from pread.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And I just couldn't believe that I let myself go
to something like that looking like people were there in
gowns that were riding. No, we were all like just
in jeans and like the boys looked amazing. Gea looked
like she just rolled out of bed because I didn't
have time for her, but she was home all day,
so I said, you need to be ready by this time,
and of course she waited till the last night. Look,
(13:38):
it was horrible. I looked like I just rolled out
of bed, but at the same time I didn't care.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But it's also like just a fun festive story now
that you have of this like crazy Christmas adventure to
be in the Hollywood Christmas preade.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, so I say, I had jim hare foil on
my buttons. Who cares?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Can't wait to see these photos?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It cares to countdown at Christmas continues in moments. This
is On with Mario Lopez, You're on.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Happy holidays everyone.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
We made it past Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around
the corner. Always something to celebrate, though, Frasier, what's today's
obscure holiday?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
National Christmas Card Day?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And you know what, I'm hoping to get my Christmas
cards in the mail today?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh, today's perfect.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Today's a perfect. So I'm gonna really power through that
and just I handwrite all of my addresses because I'm
too lazy to put them in the computer.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But if you did it once, then it would.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I did do it once, Oh, but I stupidly did
it on a web from a website where I ordered
Christmas Cars one time and never order.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You can't go.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, and I can only as I.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Order from that site. You can't export that list.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You can't export it. So I'm stupid and I'm mad
at myself, so I punish myself. Well.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Happy Christmas Card Day.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You are on with Courtney Lopez, Netflix giving True crime
lovers an early holiday gift a new gen Benet Doc Frazer.
You've seen some of it, right.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I've seen episode one. I think there's three, right, Yes, yeah,
I've seen one. And even though like we've seen a
million of these specials, I feel like this one actually
did kind of come from a different angle and it
kind of showed the media and the cops were colluding
in a way, at least so far.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, I don't. I won't give it away, but I
did watch the whole thing, and her father speaks in
this one, but he talks about things that the media
put out and then he tells you what was really
going on their version at the same time. So you
see how things just are counterproductive and how things don't
(16:17):
match up, and you know, it's really sad. All I'm
gonna say is I walked away feeling really bad for
the parents and you know, it's no secret that the
mom is no longer with us, yeah, and that she
passed away without any anything being solved. So hopefully, you know,
while the data is still here, they can they can
(16:38):
find some some closure.

On with Courtney Lopez. I like how that sounds all right.
Secret Sanda can be a fun way to celebrate the
holidays at the office or with friends, but also kind
of stressful if you're paired with frenemies, or if someone
draws themselves, or you get colleagues who are virtually strangers.
(18:06):
You know, it's like, what do you buy for them?
So if you're stuck, here's a guaranteed gift to please.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Gift cards.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Although they are not particularly glamorous, they are a full
proof option. I love a gift card. I can't tell
you how many gifts that I get from people who
know me that aren't You're just like, oh, I'm like
thank you, And it's not that I'm not appreciative, but
I feel bad that their money is wasted. Also because
(18:33):
they don't give gift for seats, I will give you
a gift for seat. If the gift costs five dollars, yeah,
because it's five dollars that you could take to Starbucks, Yes,
and get a coffee. I don't want any money to
go to waste.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well. And also, like with gift cards, if you know
that the person likes a particular place or something, you
can do that or just generic Visa or American Express
gift cards.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I actually find gift cards more thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I think so too, especially if it's a place you
like and hunter.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I love buying thoughtful gifts for people that I know.
I love shopping.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I love buying funny gifts for people that too. Well.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Also, if you go to Amazon and search for Secret
Santa items under fifty dollars or whatever your amount is,
plenty of great atoms pop up, so that should make
it easy as well.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Happy Holidays to you and yours. This is on with
Mario Lopez.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
We'll be right back all right.
Speaker 2 (19:20):

thing to get to before I wrap up for the night.
Still enough time for a request or two as well.
So you got a song you want to hear to
slide into our dms over on Instagram, at on with
Mario Lopez, on with Courtney Lopez. Just time for one
last thing. The holiday season isn't just time for celebrations.
(19:41):
It's also the perfect inspiration for naming your dog. So
there's no shortage of names to choose from, so rover
dot Com put together their list of holiday inspired names.
Wasn't Julio my dog in a Rover dot com or
a RoverBook.
Speaker 3 (19:56):

Yes, they're inspired by the holiday season.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Inspired by the holiday, all things festive.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
We have angel, Okay, I mean I probably wouldn't choose that,
but I can see that working. Frosty maybe if the
dog is not friendly. I don't know. Jingle, and I
can't get on board with that tinsel. No, tinsel is
bad just in general because it gets everywhere, it makes
(20:31):
a mess, and I feel like that dog.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Got faster maybe like an annoying dog.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, it's an annoying thing.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And Snowball was.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Kind of cute for like a white dog. Yeah that
works all right. Well.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Others on the list were so cute, if not a
little odd, like cookie dosey, I love stuff like that.
That's cool, Tinsel chose, that's funny. Sugar Plum and Grinch,
you know my Oscar. Yeah, he could be Grinch.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
He kind of looks like his face kind of looks
like the Grinch.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
He's you know why, because he's misunderstood you. Sometimes he
seems grumpy, but you know, just like the Grinch.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Exactly, the Grinch was misunderstood. He didn't hate Christmas, no people, exactly.

with a random question. All right, Fraser, your turn. What
do you got?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We're turning it around on you because you usually ask
the question, So, what is your most memorable Christmas gift?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
My most memorable Christmas gift? I don't know if I
have specifically a gift, but my memory of just waiting
my parents would go downstairs to see if Santa came,
and yeah, you know, and thet yeah, let me go
(01:04):
see if he came, and they know Santa came, and
and I just remember I can remember standing at the
top of the steps just with you know, so much excitement.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
The anticipation, anticipation.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But of course, you know, my parents worked to make
ends meet and we didn't have a lot, but we
always felt like we had so much, So, you know,
I think that's that's my favorite gift for me.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It was Fireball Island. What is that? Sounds like a drink.
It was a board game when I was a kid
with a volcano.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Actually, now that you say that, now that you say that,
Mall Madness.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Was a board game, okay. And it was a shopping mall,

Yeah, you do, you technically win automatically. I think Donnie Osmond,
someone I used to work with, one of the nicest
guys in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Donnie is momed sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
He is sixty seven? Shut up? Are you serious? The
wordplay was terrible, but the age was correct. Felicity Huffman

Desperate Housewives, she is Felicity is sixty.

I would.

Be would be fifty eight seventy one. Oh, he's that old, okay.
And Dame Judy Dinch.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Dame Judy, you know, just because she's a dame, you
think they're older. I don't really know why they say dame.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's an honor from the monarch. So I think Queen Elizabeth,
when she was still alive, the second made her a
dame it's like being knighted, but you're a dame.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Still don't understand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):

probably the one lead in a musical that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):

I know you guys met doing a chorus line. Yeah,
And obviously I didn't see course line. He always talks
about it, and I haven't seen this movie yet.

if you have someone who looks at screens all day
like a child or me, peepers by peeper specks blue
light reading glasses. They'll keep you from getting a headache
while you're staring at those screens.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I actually like this, And during COVID when the kids
were homeschooling, I bought all the kids those glasses because
unfortunately they were sitting at a screen a lot more
than well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
And kids in general just look at iPads all day,
and we look at our phones all day. Violet and
Brooks velvet foldable ear muffs. Ooh okay, so they're compacts
you can travel. Mario should have had these form New York.
He should justin Gregory Fox leather gloves. These gloves bring
a luxury feel for less than fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Nice. I love the look of leather gloves. But obviously,
if you don't want to go that route, the faux
leather is the way to go.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And you'll probably like this. Kay Carrol color me clutch
led handbag. You need a red bag to match your outfit?
What about blue? This bag turns colors because it's it's
covered in led lights. I don't know if I want

It's Courtney Lopez with a quick reminder to check out
all the fun we had at the Hollywood at Christmas
Parade on the CW December fourteenth. I'm going to tell
you about this day. So we had to be ready
(11:45):
by four o'clock to leave. Okay, the boys had a
wrestling tournament, and we thought we have to be there
so early. We'll be home by like one o'clock. We'll
have ample time to get ready. It was a very
poorly ran wrestling tournament. Took for ever, the weights in
between each brackets. It just was. It was horrible.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It was the perfect storm. It was the.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Perfect storm, but We said to Dominic, if it's two thirty,
we gotta leave, like, there's no way we can stay
for your all your meats. We get he gets one
in and it's two thirty. We get home. It's almost
three thirty. I had to get myself. No, there's a
red carpet. We're riding in there, there's a hole.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It's not just riding the prey. There's a whole thing beforehand,
there's everything right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And I said to Mario, can I please stay home?
And of course he's like, no, this is a family thing.
I get the bra rally rally exactly. I get the
boys ready. I get myself ready, which really didn't. Threw
my hair back in a low, messy bun because like
I said, I had a hat on all day. It
looked terrible. It was flat. It was gross, through makeup on,
(12:50):
through this sweater on with jeans, completely underdressed. Get there.
After we do the red carpet. I look down at
my sweater that I had gotten dry clean. Oh no,
And on the buttons they were like crystal buttons. Okay,
never looked down because I just threw it over my head.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I didn't un buttoned.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The buttons were all covered with foil from the dry cleaner.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You need to say, it's all festive decoration from pread.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And I just couldn't believe that I let myself go
to something like that looking like people were there in
gowns that were riding. No, we were all like just
in jeans and like the boys looked amazing. Gea looked
like she just rolled out of bed because I didn't
have time for her, but she was home all day,
so I said, you need to be ready by this time,
and of course she waited till the last night. Look,
(13:38):
it was horrible. I looked like I just rolled out
of bed, but at the same time I didn't care.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But it's also like just a fun festive story now
that you have of this like crazy Christmas adventure to
be in the Hollywood Christmas preade.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, so I say, I had jim hare foil on
my buttons. Who cares?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Can't wait to see these photos?
Speaker 1 (13:53):

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Happy holidays everyone.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
We made it past Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around
the corner. Always something to celebrate, though, Frasier, what's today's
obscure holiday?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
National Christmas Card Day?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And you know what, I'm hoping to get my Christmas
cards in the mail today?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh, today's perfect.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Today's a perfect. So I'm gonna really power through that
and just I handwrite all of my addresses because I'm
too lazy to put them in the computer.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But if you did it once, then it would.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I did do it once, Oh, but I stupidly did
it on a web from a website where I ordered
Christmas Cars one time and never order.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You can't go.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, and I can only as I.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Order from that site. You can't export that list.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You can't export it. So I'm stupid and I'm mad
at myself, so I punish myself. Well.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Happy Christmas Card Day.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You are on with Courtney Lopez, Netflix giving True crime
lovers an early holiday gift a new gen Benet Doc Frazer.
You've seen some of it, right.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I've seen episode one. I think there's three, right, Yes, yeah,
I've seen one. And even though like we've seen a
million of these specials, I feel like this one actually
did kind of come from a different angle and it
kind of showed the media and the cops were colluding
in a way, at least so far.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, I don't. I won't give it away, but I
did watch the whole thing, and her father speaks in
this one, but he talks about things that the media
put out and then he tells you what was really
going on their version at the same time. So you
see how things just are counterproductive and how things don't
(16:17):
match up, and you know, it's really sad. All I'm
gonna say is I walked away feeling really bad for
the parents and you know, it's no secret that the
mom is no longer with us, yeah, and that she
passed away without any anything being solved. So hopefully, you know,
while the data is still here, they can they can
(16:38):
find some some closure.

Secret Sanda can be a fun way to celebrate the
holidays at the office or with friends, but also kind
of stressful if you're paired with frenemies, or if someone
draws themselves, or you get colleagues who are virtually strangers.
(18:06):
You know, it's like, what do you buy for them?
So if you're stuck, here's a guaranteed gift to please.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Gift cards.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Although they are not particularly glamorous, they are a full
proof option. I love a gift card. I can't tell
you how many gifts that I get from people who
know me that aren't You're just like, oh, I'm like
thank you, And it's not that I'm not appreciative, but
I feel bad that their money is wasted. Also because
(18:33):
they don't give gift for seats, I will give you
a gift for seat. If the gift costs five dollars, yeah,
because it's five dollars that you could take to Starbucks, Yes,
and get a coffee. I don't want any money to
go to waste.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well. And also, like with gift cards, if you know
that the person likes a particular place or something, you
can do that or just generic Visa or American Express
gift cards.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I actually find gift cards more thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I think so too, especially if it's a place you
like and hunter.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I love buying thoughtful gifts for people that I know.
I love shopping.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I love buying funny gifts for people that too. Well.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Also, if you go to Amazon and search for Secret
Santa items under fifty dollars or whatever your amount is,
plenty of great atoms pop up, so that should make
it easy as well.

We have angel, Okay, I mean I probably wouldn't choose that,
but I can see that working. Frosty maybe if the
dog is not friendly. I don't know. Jingle, and I
can't get on board with that tinsel. No, tinsel is
bad just in general because it gets everywhere, it makes
(20:31):
a mess, and I feel like that dog.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Got faster maybe like an annoying dog.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, it's an annoying thing.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And Snowball was.

He's you know why, because he's misunderstood you. Sometimes he
seems grumpy, but you know, just like the Grinch.
