Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're on with Mario a little bit sober.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Mario Lopez joining me right now on Zoom from the
new film Doing It, actress Lily say, how are you, Lily?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm always great when I'm talking to you. You are
the joy of my life.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Honestly, thank you. I love getting to catch up with you.
You know, whatever I say the title of your film
Doing It, it just makes me want to say it
in the Llo cool J song, you remember that song.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Doing It, Doing It, Doing It?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, Hey, exactly, I love that song and looks like
I'm gonna love this movie. It looks like so much fun.
I know you co wrote it. Congratulations. You're also a
star in it alongside Sabriena Jones and and agast I
are very funny. For those not familiar, please tell me
about it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, so Doing It It is a raunchy sex comedy,
you know, the types that we grew up with. I'm
talking in the vein of American Pie forty year Old Virgin.
It is about a thirty something year old virgin who
finds herself teaching sex in so it is la a
lot funny, but it's not. Some good commentary in there
as well. You know, making people think, probably some important conversations.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
See that's that's great storytelling right there, and fun projects.
I love that, and I know it's a passion project
because it took about seven years.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Seven years, Mario, My longest and most toxic relationship has
been this movie.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Absolutely seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I got the first draft of the script, I fell
in love with it. I was like, I absolutely am
obsessed with the idea of there being a sex comedy
with someone that looks like me. Yea, Mario, because growing
up I never saw myself in those movies, which is
probably why I've had such an awkward relationship with sex.
I never got the top, I never really had sex said,
and I was like, and this is so important and
I want to tell it. So yeah, seven years and
finally September nineteenth, it's coming out into the world.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's awesome. I bet it feels amazing. And I love
that your mom was involved in the production. What was
her role again, exactly he.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Is and this is not a vanity credit. Factually, she
help the cultural consultant. So yes, the scenes in the
movie that seemed like they take place in India, you know,
a shop for India, and she made sure that all
the language was correct, all the props were correct, and
it was mirrored off of her childhood classroom, so I
want to make sure it was true to her experience
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh that's cool, Yeah, cool, that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I never thought I would say the words my mom
helped me with my sex comedy. But here we are.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's exactly. That in itself is an.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Exactly that's hilarious the movie yet, but she helped on it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh that's great, looking forward to again checking it out.
I know you had another film come out this last month,
kids comedy Bad Guys too. We like the first one,
Oh my kids and I good time. And you've done
a few voiceover roles that, you know. It's a lot
of work. I've been doing that a little bit. It's
it's a lot of people think, oh it's great you
could and yes, you could show up how you like
wearing whatever, but all the different takes and it's it's
(02:33):
exhaust It's a lot of hard work, right, It's a
lot of energy.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It does because.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You're only communicating with your voice obviously, but like when
you're on camera, you can like do subtle things with
your facial expressions, with your hand jest. Right, when you're
just doing voice acting, so much energy goes into conveying
every emotion that way. So yes, often when I step
out of a sound booth, I'm winded for the day.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, you're right, I was was telling me. I was like, dang,
I did it takes a lot out of you. And
coming up, you're all going to be appearing in season
two of the Tim Allen sitcom Shifting Gears. Can you
tell us anything about that?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I pay a fun little role. I play someone who
with friends Kat Dennings, and we're two mothers and we
have a quick friendship that kind of goes through some
drama very quickly. And I've had the pleasure of working
with Kat before on Dolphins and with the show runner
Michelle Nader, so felt a little family reunion was such
a warm, lovely set. And I did tell a joke
when the cameras weren't rolling, and Tim Allen did laugh.
So I would like to believe that we're best friends. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh that's good, because normal comics normally don't laugh. You
get a genuine laugh out of him. That's that's pretty
big time.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
The highlight of my day I'm not a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would I would imagine so. And one last thing,
the Toronto Tempo. You are now officially a co owner
of a new w NBA team. Congratulations, you're making me
sound so cool and pretty darn cool. I think you're
pretty dark.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I am born and raised in Toronto and a huge
basketball fan, and so yes, Toronto Temple is Canada's first
and only WNBA team, and I would have been devastated
if I wasn't involved.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
My official is chief hype officer. As you can tell,
I'm pretty energetic person, and so when we tip off
in May of twenty twenty six, I want to be
their court side, cheering, making sure these ladies hey all
the attention they deserve.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I love it. I love it, and that's that's great.
Toronto's got a lot of a lot of talent coming
out of that town. Let me let me ask you
a question. Since you're a native Toronto, Toronto in or
Canadian mess that up? Who who is selling? Who is
more embraced justin bieber Drake or the Weekend? Oh they're
(04:32):
all massive, but I was just curious who is who
is Toronto?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Really?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know what I'm saying, Because they're all from Toronto, right,
they're right from Toronto.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I feel like I'm biased, but I'm going to die
on this whole. That's fine. I'm gonna go with Drake
just because, like, if we're talking Toronto, I feel you
know what I mean. I feel like he's got a
lot of imagery on the sea and tower, like he
makes a lot of references to the Toronto area. And
so I'm going to say Drake. But I'm sure someone's
gonna be mad about that answer somewhere, But that's my answer,
and that's the hell I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
On Yeah, I mean, they're pretty massive. Those are three
massive stars coming out of there.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We got a lot of the things going.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
On over there, I guess. So congratulations on everything, Lily
and everyone. Please be sure to catch Allie's new film,
