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

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

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
and drawing pictures. Oh yeah,
6:23
you've gotten anything a little out of the ordinary.
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.

10:10
That's cool.
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

13:43
Bridgers, Beach House, Roxy Music, and
13:45

13:49
hits streaming now on.
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
I'm a Twizzlers girl.
14:54
Yeah, red vines to me, candle Wax
14:56
can't deal with it. I'll eat them. But
14:59
if given choic and then when you get the
15:01
individually wrapped Twizzlers, which I look forward
15:03
to in Halloween, even better.
15:05
Those are so good.
