Come on Mario a little bit. You're

0:03

on Mario Lopez joining me now on zoom

0:05

that ham ahead from Mass Dancing

0:07

man vide guada Nino. Welcome back, brother,

0:10

How you doing. I'm good, bro, good talking to you

0:12

again. So you've been very entertaining

0:14

on the Mass Dancer. That show looks like a lot of

0:16

fun. Did Did you have any dance experience

0:18

outside of the clubs? No, no professional

0:21

dance, no choreography, nothing like

0:23

that. Um, it was definitely out of my wheelhouse.

0:26

But I have like a crazy work ethic. I like

0:28

learning new things, so I was like going

0:30

home practicing the steps every night.

0:33

Like I didn't treat this like it was just some gag show,

0:35

like I was taking it seriously. Nice.

0:37

Well, I saw some breakdancing right

0:39

there. Man, Were you a B boy back in the day?

0:42

I did? I used to like, um when

0:44

I was younger, try to like watch videos

0:46

and learn online. But when I grew

0:48

up, the frigging um like to get

0:50

a two minute video, you have to like download

0:52

it for a day. So I would like learn like

0:54

one little B boy step at a time and

0:57

performing at parties. It wasn't enough

0:59

to act Now I would have I would have been killing

1:01

it if I was a little kid learning po boy right on,

1:04

right there. Uh, let's talk about the costume.

1:06

Do you feel the hammer Head was a good

1:09

match for you? Why did you choose that particular

1:11

one? Yeah, you know, they presented

1:13

me with the hammer Head and it just made perfect

1:15

sense. I didn't fight about it. I was

1:18

like, I could be this character because

1:20

even though I'm not like a big meathead

1:22

guy, I obviously like grew up with them

1:24

and live with them on Jersey Shore, so

1:27

I want to like surprise people. But also

1:29

I knew how to play the character. And

1:31

what you look like you've been You've been hitting them

1:33

weight there right there showing some games man. Was that a

1:35

padded suit or or you just showing

1:38

off the new physique? No, bro,

1:40

I mean I got like the little athletic

1:42

build, but that was like twenty pounds of added

1:46

you know, padding and stuff. Had

1:48

the dancing and you can't see, so it

1:51

was a crazy experience. I imagine.

1:53

Man, it's it's challenging to move around

1:55

that costume. Huh. Literally,

1:57

you're doing it blind, you know, like you an't

2:00

see, you can't hear, you can't feel anything,

2:02

and obviously to dance

2:04

and to learn choreography, like all

2:06

your sense is got to be on point, you know.

2:08

So I give it up to the dancers that are

2:10

still out there and killing it on that show. Um,

2:14

anybody guess it was you. Paula

2:16

said my name once, but they were like, get

2:19

out of here. It's not him, because again the Hamma

2:21

head is so like over the

2:23

top, flashy and stuff that they

2:25

don't really even my cast members. Um,

2:28

they let up until last night. They're like

2:30

watching the show and SNOOKI was like, Paulie,

2:32

I know it's you. I know it's you. Anny,

2:35

what the hell? So I kept it on

2:37

the low and I definitely surprised people.

2:39

That's great, man, that's great. That's fun that you

2:42

had a good attitude about it. Now if any

2:44

last time you were here, we we talked a lot about

2:46

Keto. Has the pandemic made it easier

2:49

or harder to stick to the plan. Definitely

2:51

made it easier for me, because, um,

2:53

you know, with the pandemic, I kind of

2:55

used it as like a personal training camp

2:58

to just be healthy because I wanted

3:00

to get healthier over

3:02

that time too. I mean, you know, usually

3:04

like January February holiday

3:07

eating comes in So it was like

3:09

March and I wanted to get in shape anyway, and now I'm

3:11

like staying home. I have no excuses,

3:14

um, you know, working out every day. I'm a

3:16

little home jim, eating right, not drinking,

3:18

not going out, sleeping. So while

3:21

it actually helped me and it made me learn

3:23

all these new things to work out

3:25

with. Like I started running, I started becoming

3:27

a cyclist. I started jump roping all

3:30

things I wouldn't normally do if I if I was running

3:32

around. Yeah. No, it forces you to, uh

3:34

get creative, and then you could be yeah,

3:37

adapt exactly be disciplined. So let's

3:39

talk a little Jersey Shore Family vacation. We're in

3:41

the middle of the season four. Congratulations,

3:43

another long run on the show. There what's

3:46

in store for the rest of the season. So

3:48

right now we were able to kind

3:50

of adapt again and film this season

3:53

in the middle of a pandemic. We kind

3:55

of created our own bubble at a

3:57

resort in Lake Las Vegas, and

4:00

uh, really, all we're doing in that

4:02

resort is trying to get these girls to get

4:04

along with each other because they

4:06

hate each other. So all the guys are just

4:09

like, yo, we're locking you down in this

4:11

bubble. So next, like, you know, first

4:13

it was like Angelina making up with Dina.

4:15

Now it's Jenny making up with Angelina.

4:18

Then they fighting. Dr Drew has

4:20

to come. Needs to be an intervention.

4:23

I swear to god he came, and he really

4:25

came, really came because

4:29

we couldn't handle it on our own. Oh my god,

4:31

I thought it was an expression. Wow, that's serious. He really

4:33

came. And what's up? What's snooky? She's gonna come back her?

4:37

Um. As of now, she doesn't have any

4:39

plans to come back, but I think

4:41

that she eventually will. Um.

4:43

You know, right now, all the girls are just

4:46

like it caused the real drama

4:48

happens on the show, and the drama

4:51

actually carried on to the outside world,

4:53

this time to where Nicole was like, f you,

4:55

I'm done. So hopefully like the ego

4:57

has dropped down a little bit, everyone kind of

5:00

earth and starts to film again. Yeah, no, exactly,

5:03

I hope so too. Um. You also got the

5:05

show Revenge Revenge Prank. What's

5:08

been your favorite prank so far? Um?

5:11

In Revenge Prank, we did a prank

5:13

where uh we made

5:16

so basically what happens is like people prank

5:18

each other and then we helped them get payback. So

5:21

this girl, it was like his viral video

5:23

where her father was

5:25

like interrogating her date through the ring

5:27

doorbell. I don't know if you saw that. It was like everywhere

5:29

it's funny. And then um, to

5:32

get him back, we created

5:34

a cult, and we may believe

5:36

that the girl joined the cult and that the

5:38

father was coming to meet all the people

5:41

in this like weird cult. And um

5:43

that's how that's how like extreme we go with

5:45

these pranks. That's elaborate right there. I

5:47

feel like when you start getting into prank wars, then

5:50

they like never ending, right, she could keep

5:52

it turn into a well the thing through is that, like

5:54

that's the premise of the show. They do these

5:56

cute little like YouTube pranks on each

5:59

other, but then like they call them the big

6:01

guns like me and Paulie, we got like MTV

6:03

money behind the production. Yeah,

6:06

like explosives like you know what I mean,

6:08
