0:01

With Mario a little bit. Ya

0:03

Mario Lopez join me on Zoom from the

0:05

Umbrella Academy and Emily and

0:07

Parry. Actress Kate Walsh.

0:09

Welcome to the show. Kate, how are you hey?

0:16

So what are you hoping for? I like that background

0:18

explained the hope please. Okay,

0:21

first of all, that is an actual

0:23

aerial view a Google Earth

0:26

via photo of a reef that

0:28

the words hope. That is an actual reef

0:31

that the that Shiba has planted,

0:34

has built, constructed and planted

0:37

in Indonesia and UM

0:39

yeah, so I have

0:42

what I first thought, I was like, oh, that's cool they

0:44

wrote the word hope. No, it's actually a

0:46

reef. Wow. Yeah,

0:48

so that it's really amazing

0:51

this campaign. What they're doing is they're

0:53

committing in the next ten years to um

0:56

construct and re grow reefs

0:59

up to like

1:02

a hundred and I think eighty five

1:04

thousand square meters of reef

1:07

in different various locations throughout the world.

1:09

In this one's in Indonesia, they're

1:12

looking at Mexico, Australia.

1:14

UM. The say shells all over the place,

1:17

UM by twenty

1:19

nine, so this should all happen. That's about the

1:21

size of a hundred forty Olympic

1:24

sized swimming pools in case you were wondering

1:26

what thou square meters

1:28

looks like? So it's really cool. I

1:31

was like, what are

1:33

my two favorite things ocean conservation

1:35

and cats in terms of charities? And

1:38

how do you? I was like, how what's the connection?

1:40

It's my cat and a water ski. What's going to happen?

1:43

Um? No, but it's a it's

1:45

beautiful. Like I were, I'm

1:47

really excited to be partnering with them, and UM,

1:49

we're really hoping. All we want is for people

1:51

to go on the sheep a YouTube channel

1:54

and and watch and see these

1:57

videos that it's videos of how they constructed

1:59

the reef and what they're doing, and it's

2:01

really incredible. And every time someone watches,

2:04

UH, donation is made to

2:07

the NGO the Nature of Conservancy

2:10

and UM. It's the first branded

2:12

YouTube channel that all of

2:15

the proceeds go directly to UM

2:17

this project, So and no one you

2:19

just have to watch it like chill on your couch with

2:21

a cat without and you're

2:24

you're you're donating, which is what I love

2:26

too. It's super easy. That's awesome, such

2:28

great work and it's

2:31

it's really a joy to watch

2:33

it, you chill out, you're relaxing. It kind of eases

2:35

you, you know, into the night. Uh.

2:38

Why are coral reefs so important to the ecosystem

2:40

for those not familiar, Yeah, it's

2:43

and this is why it's so fun to watch the videos because

2:45

honestly, it's really fun, exciting and

2:47

entertaining and it's short, so if you have an attention span

2:49

of a gnat, you're gonna love this. But

2:52

exactly so, No, it's critical

2:55

to the entire ecosystem of

2:57

the planet. Basically, people

2:59

just for at what's happening underneath the water.

3:02

But scientists say that of the

3:04

coral reefs will be gone by

3:07

unless we asked, now, it's

3:09

not Why is that not good? Because all

3:11

the fish go with it, all the floor you want

3:13

to go with it. That's our food source feeds

3:15

one billion people on the planet.

3:18

I've been a big I've been a big ocean

3:20

conservationist for a long long time, and

3:23

so this is very near and dear to me. Um.

3:26

But the good news is, and I think that we've

3:28

all seen, whether you're an ocean lover or

3:30

know about it or not, like we've seen

3:32

during this global pandemic, how quickly

3:35

the earth like actually can rite itself.

3:37

How nature comes back. You know, we saw dolphins

3:39

that quintessential dolphins and the

3:42

venice canals that it like

3:44

the world wants to right itself. And this

3:47

that that Hope reef they planted

3:49

that. They started it in nineteen

3:52

so in two years, just two years, it went

3:54

from five percent. That's what you're looking

3:56

at. There is fift growth

3:59

and they read in in the

4:01

next two to three years it will be fully

4:03

grown fully and it will fill

4:05

in and eventually will the word hope will

4:08

fill into a natural looking and it's

4:10

really cool how fast and already species

4:13

of fish, dark sea turtles have come

4:15

back and you'll see on the video. It's super cool.

4:17

And they involve the locals in Indonesia,

4:20

fishermen and locals to build

4:23

they they're called um

4:25

they're not starfish. What it's late

4:27

and it's like one in the morning. Now it's their

4:30

mental star cages. It looks

4:33

like rebar and they're like a

4:35

meter each and they attached

4:37

pieces of coral to it and then naturally grow

4:39

on and it's like farming. And so they put

4:41

them on the ocean floor and people, local

4:43

fishermen and people like float

4:46

them out in boats, they snorkle

4:48

them out, divers plant them in and it's

4:51

it's cool, man, It's really in

4:54

the world anything. Yeah,

4:57

I just gotta kick back and watch. We'll congrats on

4:59

that. Yeah, it's an important

5:01

good watch. Um, let's talk about

5:04

your latest movie recently dropped sometime

5:06

other than now. It's like a pretty serious

5:08

drama. What did about it

5:11

was? It wasn't I think maybe a little bit of comedy.

5:13

It was Donal Logan I and it was actually

5:16

I was thrilled that people got to see

5:18

it. It's about just a couple

5:20

of just a couple of jungle cats you

5:22

know later in life. Um

5:25

that that I have

5:28

a past and um, you know it's like a mysterious

5:30

stranger Donal Logan rolls into town and

5:33

uh, I don't know if any of you guys remember, but he

5:35

was in the I mean, of course you I mean, I'm

5:37

a massive fan of him, but Star Wars

5:39

and of course, yeah, I mean he's

5:41

like and he was in um Donald

5:44

was in the Tower of Steve and then yeah so

5:46

he um yeah,

5:48

so he's sort of the mysterious stranger goes through

5:50

town town and I run a little motel

5:52

and we end up having a relationship,

5:55

and it's really about kind of people who

5:57

have made mistakes and of our

6:00

are kind of trying to right their wrongs and correct

6:02

their past. And yeah, it was a beautiful little

6:04

film. We shot out in the north Shore, that one on

6:06

the north shore of Long Long Island. Then there

6:08

was Honesty with Liam Neeson that also

6:10

came out that Um, yeah, it

6:12

was a love story. So that was cool, very

6:14

cool working with some really cool people right

6:16

there. And as far as Umbrella Academy,

6:19

things didn't look too good for your character at the

6:21

end of season two. Any chance possibly

6:23

coming back at season three? Or I asked,

6:26

because why not? I mean in season one I

6:28

got shot between the eyes, but I somehow

6:30

made it back because of that, you know, very

6:34

resilient, very resilient. Um,

6:36

But no, I'm not coming back for season three. I know they're

6:38

shooting it right now and it's gonna be amazing. But

6:40

yeah, what about Emily and Parry

6:43

what we see you in season I'm glad

6:45

you said it correctly. You're like the only one.

6:47

It's so much fun to say. I want to

6:49

say Emily and Paris with

6:51

a little accent. The whole done. It's great. Well

6:54

it's funny because I didn't even understand

6:57

that it was at and they're like it's Emily and

6:59

Perry, Like, oh, Emily

7:01

in Paris, and so it's a lot of the world anyway

7:04

there. I don't know what's going to happen with that. I

7:06

hear they're already shooting. I know they're already shooting.

7:08

I posted about it, but I just heard

7:10

they were shooting in Santrope and I'm

7:12

not there Mario, so I don't know what not

7:15

at the moment, but we shall see. I

7:18

want to talk Grace for a moment because I can't believe it's

7:20

been seventeen seasons now.

7:23

I mean, they got to find a way to bring you back for an episode.

7:25

Would you be up for it? Yeah,

7:28

you know, we actually I we talked about

7:30

it. They had talked to me. I

7:33

think it was in twenty must have been twenty nineteen

7:35

when I was shooting um

7:37

but I was shooting Umbrella Academy, so

7:39

I was gonna go do it, but there was it was

7:41

like total conflict of schedule, like

7:44

I couldn't get away. I was that's in Toronto

7:46

and I couldn't do it so then that

7:48

that storyline what they wanted to do there

7:50

went away, and then I've

7:53

then I've been gone, maybe gone. So I've

7:55

been in Australia. But I don't know that

7:57

they have to zoom in. I don't know right we

8:00
