Huey Lewis in the News is an iconic

eighties band and they've got

2:32

so many great hits. And there are a few artists

2:34

that take you back to a certain era, and

2:36

Huey Lewis is one of them. You

2:39

don't even know who he is, missus Lopez.

2:42

Why would I care about Huey Lewis and wows?

2:44

He has done nothing for me or my family.

2:47

He has done nothing to provide

2:50

for me and my family. But did he what

2:52

did he do?

2:53

What did he do?

2:54

What do you sing?

2:55

Mister Lopez?

2:56

You are a cold hearted rabbit. Huey

2:58

3:03

illness. I didn't know that and cannot here and

fondly, and you got to look back and

3:10

appreciate a hueie.

3:14

I had no idea that he was battling an illness.

3:16

I don't even know who he is, and I said nothing about

3:18

his illness.

3:19

So you always have to just send.

3:20

You always have.

3:21

To go below the bout.

3:23

Oh yeah, that's who it is.

3:25

Michael Jackson didn't think that he was a good singer,

3:27

and we are the world either. So that's why.

3:28

Well, Michael Jackson's called his I.

3:30

So we've established that.

3:56

Good to see you. Thanks for taking the time, keeping up

3:58

with you on social I know you'relling it out there

4:01

on the road. Problematic World tour

4:03

is going on. How have how the show

4:06

has been for you?

4:07

They have been unreal, man, We've crossed

4:09

off some real milestones. Recently we did six shows

4:11

at Radio City Music Hall. Wow,

4:13

unbelievable. I mean doing one show that would have been a dream

4:16

come truck. That was amazing. We just

4:18

did my first arena shows. We did

4:20

five shows at Mohegan Sun Arena

4:22

in Connecticut, which broke the record there.

4:24

That's awesome shows by a comedian, which

4:26

at first I was really flattered by, and then I realized, oh, it's

4:28

pretty obvious. Most comics are just smart enough to not

4:31

do that many shows.

4:33

No good for you, what market? No,

4:35

But that means the demand is there? All right, man,

4:37

Hang tight for a second. A lot to talk about, but first

4:39

more music. Getting

4:42

back to matt rive. Who's on zoom with us? Mario Lopez

4:45

here talking about your Problematic World Tour?

4:47

Now, when you're traveling, are you a boss

4:49

or how many people you're rolling with.

4:51

Yeah, I've got tour but I have two tour buses.

4:54

Dude, you're like the rolling Stones over here.

4:56

Oh dude, it's ridiculous and not what

4:58

anybody thinks. It's just me and my boys on the

5:00

bus and people are like, oh, you guys got to be throwing

5:02

parties on that. Bet there's just rugs, ever

5:05

do It's just just smoking weed and

5:08

fast food and playing video games till five in

5:10

the morning.

5:10

Damn. That

5:13

sounds like a good time though.

5:14

So it's not bad.

5:15

It's not bad. I bet.

5:16

Now, when you're on the road for this

5:18

long, like, what's the packing situation? Because

5:21

whenever I travel, I get like anxiety

5:24

when I have to pack more than anything that will

5:26

not fit in a carry on. But I guess when you have

5:28

a bus you can you can kind of a

5:31

little more room. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, yeah.

5:34

It's well, not to rub it in their

5:36

faces, but I have like the master bedroom

5:38

in the bathroom bus obviously, while while my

5:40

friends all sleep in their mausoleum

5:43

walls, right, I have like a full

5:45

walk in closet. Oh nice, they

5:48

all share one bunk to like as

5:50

their storage. I am months with of clothes.

5:52

But I come back here to La to pop in for

5:54

press stuff so often I'd come back here everything

5:57

I've worn, but I've like

5:59

worn in a video that's going viral. I'm like, well,

6:01

got to get rid of that. I'll come back here and just switch it

6:03

out for all through wardrobe. It's ridiculous.

6:06

I like that move right there.

6:07

All right, Matt Haintach, take a quick break.

6:09

Come back more with comic Matt.

6:11

Right, more fun on the way on with

6:13

6:17

You're Mario Lopez and Matt.

6:18

I know a lot of fans have been making you cookies

6:20

6:25

Somebody bought my hat off off

6:28

my head on stage of the day for one thousand dollars,

6:30

and then I tried to buy meth with it in Minneapolis.

6:33

Oh but officially, yeah,

6:36

6:38

in the audience, right right.

6:40

Right on.

6:45

Mario Lopez talking stand up comedy

6:47

6:50

to this because I'm planning to be there. The

6:52

Netflix is a joke festival going down

6:54

at the Hollywood Bowl that is one

6:56

of my all time favorite venues. It's so cool.

6:58

Have you had an opportunity to perform there?

7:00

This here first time even been?

7:01

Oh, it's so cool, Matt. You're gonna

7:03

love it, man, because in the summertime, it's

7:06

beautiful. It's like nestled

7:08

up in the Hollywood Hills. Thousands

7:10

of people. You see the lights. They're smoking

7:13

and drinking because you could drink, drink and smoke

7:15

out that that's like your boss. It's like your bus

7:17

but outside and it goes.

7:20

It's so much fun. You are gonna

7:22

love it. What do you got planned for that?

7:24

I'm working on a musical act too

7:26

that I can't disclose as of yet, to

7:29

potentially really just in the

7:31

show with a grand finale. If I can't get

7:33

them, I am gonna need you and your family to do some

7:35

TikTok dance.

7:36

That's what's up.

7:38

Want Mario, Hey, the lout passes have

7:40

your back.

7:41

Your walk doesn't go unnoticed. I'm

7:43

excited for I wanted. I wanted to feel like

7:45

like an intimate festival. It's turned a six a

7:48

sixteen thousand seat venue into

7:50

an intimate hangout. I'm gonna

7:52

have a bunch of my friends come and open the show for me.

7:54

It's gonna be a great show from start to finish. And I

7:56

just did the Dolby Theater. I think it was six

7:58

shows just a couple of months ago. And

8:01

for the people who may have been there for that, thank you. It

8:03

was an incredible experience, dream come true.

8:06

And it's already a brand new show, so you don't have to worry

8:08

about coming to see the same jokes.

8:09

Repeated, Oh fun, oh fun, How I'm looking

8:11

forward to That's gonna be cool. Man omar dot

8:13

com to find out more, Hank Tight, you can

8:15

have more with Matt Riife coming up. You're

8:19

Mario Lopez catching up with comic Matt Rife

8:21

this hour in this fall.

8:24

Uh.

8:24

This is also really cool.

8:25

You're gonna be performing an Abu Dhabi now,

8:28

yes, have you

8:30

done much outside of the States,

8:32

Like how are the audiences different

8:35

or how is their response to your material outside

8:37

of the US?

8:38

Oh Man, so far, the US

8:40

is the least fun to perform in.

8:45

That's great, not just.

8:46

The cultural differences, but like just

8:49

the freedom of comedy. Like we people

8:51

in the States about comedy

8:54

more than any other country around

8:56

the world.

8:56

You're just complaining it's so ridiculous,

8:59

and you're right out. It must be refreshing

9:02

to get out of those states and to be able

9:04

to just people know how to take a joke and they

9:06

take it for what it is.

9:08

Oh yeah. I was just in Australia at the beginning

9:10

of this year for January. We were there for two

9:12

and a half weeks. It was three weeks maybe the

9:14

show's out. There was my first time being that I'd always

9:17

heard in the comedy community that Australia

9:19

had like the best comedy audiences in

9:21

the world, which also that's pretty high title

9:23

to give.

9:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

9:24

I got down there and I was like, dog, I wish I would have waited

9:27

to shoot my next special there. It was unbelievable,

9:30

Like nobody feels that they have to make the show about themselves.

9:32

No one's getting offended by anything. Everyone is

9:35

just there. They're in with the joke, they're

9:37

on board, they're aware of the context and the environment,

9:39

and they.

9:40

Have a sense of humor.

9:42

Oh yeah.

9:42

The UK was fantastic, like English

9:44

crowds are amazing, even Ireland.

9:47

I've got a whole European tour we're doing from September

9:49

through November, including that the

9:52

Abu Dhabi one, which I'm really looking forward to because

9:54

that's the same arena they're doing UFC in the

9:56

night right before.

9:58

Oh one, ohs, you're gonna get cast fight.

10:00

That's gonna be Yeah.

10:11

I'm really looking forward to now. I know the

10:13

lulls and cultures are much more different

10:16

out there, so I will be interested

10:18

to see what I can and can't stay out there.

10:20

Well, Matt, hang tight, one last break and I'm going to come

10:22

Time for mus see movies today is all about

12:30

one movie, Searchlight Pictures The Greatest

12:32

Hits, which is streaming on Hulu right

12:34

now, so you can check it out. And movies really cool because

12:36

it's all about how music takes us

12:38

places. I've always said that I can hear a

12:41

certain song and immediately it'll transport

12:43

me to that time. I don't think anything

12:45

else does that other than a good song.

12:47

No, music is so important. The story follows Harriet,

12:50

who experiences a unique connection between

12:52

art and reality, discovering that specific

12:54

songs have the power to transport

12:56

her back in time, driving her to relive

12:59

special moments with her ex special

13:02

but all the time traveling collides with the potential

13:04

new love interest in the present.

13:06

Oh oh.

13:07

The Greatest Hits is all about love, loss,

13:10

fate, and the mysterious connection between

13:12

music and memory.

13:14

So many songs I can just

13:16

hear right now, It'll take me right back. I don't

13:18

know why it popped into my head, but Johnny

13:20

Camps just got paid. Took me back

13:23

to elementary school as one of my first school

13:25

dances.

13:26

And you just got paid that day.

13:27

Just the beat. No, I'm like twelve.

13:29

It had no idea. I wasn't getting really paid,

13:32

but just the beat was cool and we're having

13:34

like a dance and it was just such.

13:35

A cool moment.

13:36

Greatest Hits is a beautiful, romantic journey that showcases

13:39

the power of music, and the soundtrack is the next level,

13:41

13:49

13:50

Hulu, or Mario Lopez coming

13:52

up without Mario

13:54

Lopez here. And here's something I just learned about

13:56

Star Wars. In the early days of production for

13:58

Phantom Menace produce, we're considering

14:01

casting Tupac Shakur. That's

14:03

a fun fact. Apparently he even read

14:05

for the role with George Lucas before

14:08

his murder. The role eventually

14:10

went to Samuel L.

14:11

Jackson.

14:12

Oh man, if you would have cast Tupac

14:14

as Mace wind Do Ball would

14:17

have been legendary. Ah wish

14:19

that would happen.

14:22

What elm are on? Courtney Lopez?

14:23

Here?

14:23

What obscure holiday are we celebrating today?

14:26

Honey?

14:26

Today is National Licorice

14:29

Day.

14:29

Shout out to Twizzlers. They

14:32

are the premier. We're not even gonna discuss black liquorage

14:34

because that doesn't it shouldn't even count scross. Twizzlers

14:38

are the premiere licorice. If you

14:40

come at me with the red vines, just

14:42

get out of my face. I've noticed it's a geographical

14:45

thing for some reason. I'm an anominally because most people

14:47

on the West Coast like Redvines the East Coast.

14:49

I grew up with Twizzlers. Twizzlers. Yeah, you agree

14:51

with me on that right, hundred percent.

14:53
