- 0:00Speaker 1: Real fun with Mario Lopez.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Hi, so bro, Mario Lopez joining you right now that
- 0:05Speaker 2: Hilaria's Judy career.
- 0:07Speaker 1: How you doing, Judy.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 0:09Speaker 3: I just ate a peanut. Sorry, I'm chewing.
- 0:11Speaker 1: That's all right. Get in there and you're well clothed.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We've established that.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well booked.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Congrat Season two we're hit Apple TV mystery thriller The
- 0:21Speaker 2: Last Thing You Told Me is airing now.
- 0:23Speaker 1: It's with Jennifer Garner.
- 0:24Speaker 2: For people who may not be familiar with the premise,
- 0:26Speaker 2: what's it about?
- 0:28Speaker 3: It is based on the book of the same title,
- 0:31Speaker 3: Club Last Thing You Told Me by Laura Dave. It's
- 0:34Speaker 3: about a woman whose husband sort of disappears into thin air,
- 0:39Speaker 3: and she and her stepdaughter have to kind of figure
- 0:41Speaker 3: out where he is and why he disappeared. Season two
- 0:46Speaker 3: gets more into trying to make sure once he has
- 0:50Speaker 3: found that he won't be hunted down again and trying
- 0:53Speaker 3: to thwart the people looking for him. I hope Laura Dave,
- 0:56Speaker 3: the author, would not be mad with how I just
- 0:58Speaker 3: described it, But that's my interpretation of season two.
- 1:02Speaker 2: No, I get it, And you play Quinn, who's the
- 1:04Speaker 2: daughter of the crime boss, right.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I am the daughter of the man looking for Owen.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Yes, got it, got it?
- 1:13Speaker 2: And of course you acted in all kinds of different
- 1:16Speaker 2: types of shows and movies. But a lot of people
- 1:17Speaker 2: know you for your comedic stuff.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Does it?
- 1:21Speaker 2: Do you have more just more fond Do you prefer
- 1:23Speaker 2: the drama just as a break and stuff?
- 1:25Speaker 1: But because comedy is hard.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yes, and you would know it's harder than people.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Think, right, it really is.
- 1:31Speaker 3: It really is having so much fun, but there's a
- 1:33Speaker 3: lot of intricacies to timing and all of that stuff.
- 1:38Speaker 3: I mean, some of it does land on an editor,
- 1:40Speaker 3: thank god. But I don't know. I always have a
- 1:43Speaker 3: ton of fun being I mean, being in a drama
- 1:47Speaker 3: isn't always fun, but when you're playing a bad guy,
- 1:49Speaker 3: it's usually brave. And I would say that Quinn, she
- 1:53Speaker 3: sort of teeters between having really good intentions and being
- 1:58Speaker 3: a little bit sneaky.
- 2:00Speaker 2: That sounds like fun character right there.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Yeah, it's especially fun working with Jennifer Garner and and
- 2:05Speaker 3: and like we always joke about how we never get
- 2:08Speaker 3: to play friends in anything, and so here we are
- 2:10Speaker 3: again kind of butting heads.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, and in this summer you've got another one, right
- 2:14Speaker 2: called the Five Star Weekend.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, and then that one also, I am
- 2:20Speaker 3: kind of coming in and and and I'm like thwarting
- 2:26Speaker 3: the five Stars on this weekend. I'm also sort of
- 2:29Speaker 3: like messing things up.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Oh fun, fun. Yeah.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And and there's another, yet another dark comedy I know.
- 2:36Speaker 1: It just premiered us out by Southwest a few weeks back.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Chili Finger.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fun title. That's a fun toy of
- 2:41Speaker 2: cool casto. You got John Goodman, Brian Kranston, Sean Aston.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And that is that based on true events?
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yes, it is loosely based on something that actually did happen,
- 2:51Speaker 3: where a woman put a severed finger in a bowl
- 2:53Speaker 3: of chili at a restaurant and tried to extort money
- 2:57Speaker 3: from them. Oh wow.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 3: But the writer directors, they took that idea.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And kind of ran with it.
- 3:04Speaker 3: And I play the woman who does this, and she's
- 3:07Speaker 3: trying to get money because she wants to visit her daughter.
- 3:10Speaker 3: She's become an empty nester and she wants to visit
- 3:12Speaker 3: her daughter in college, and she's kind of losing her mind,
- 3:16Speaker 3: missing her and wondering, like you know that existential moment
- 3:20Speaker 3: when you're like what is it all about? Some people
- 3:25Speaker 3: take yoga, other people put severed fingers in chili and
- 3:29Speaker 3: try to get money. I mean, we're all different.
- 3:31Speaker 2: You know, No, right, I don't judge. I think I
- 3:36Speaker 2: remember this, what like, what year was this?
- 3:39Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly because not that long ago was
- 3:43Speaker 1: it Wendy's chili? It was Wendy's chili? Right, Well, I'm
- 3:46Speaker 1: not saying that out loud. No, you don't say it,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but I want to.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Say, maybe pandemic.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It was like within the last ten years. Yeah, and
- 3:56Speaker 2: then is this how do you get caught? And how
- 4:01Speaker 2: are you just running around with you're.
- 4:02Speaker 3: In the movie. I don't want to spoil it.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Okay, we'll have to see it. Then we'll have to
- 4:06Speaker 1: see it to see it.
- 4:08Speaker 2: And last one, your shows stick with Owen Wilson just
- 4:11Speaker 2: got renewed to I show.
- 4:13Speaker 3: That Owen Wilson is in. You said it that way.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly how I'm pitching it for now.
- 4:17Speaker 1: That's what we're an apple as well.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Might Joe stick that I've let Owen Wilson be.
- 4:22Speaker 1: A part of the one that you allow, oh and
- 4:24Speaker 1: to visit once in a while.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I do.
- 4:27Speaker 1: He's nice. Have you guys started shooting that, yet we just.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Wrapped season two two weeks ago.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Nice.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Nice, anything you could tease us with the upcoming season
- 4:37Speaker 2: or it remains under wraps.
- 4:38Speaker 3: No, I'm not teasing anything. I love this season a
- 4:43Speaker 3: lot because we get to see Owen's character on the
- 4:47Speaker 3: golf course more and golfing on the golf course, I
- 4:51Speaker 3: should say, which I think is really really exciting. I
- 4:55Speaker 3: think we all wanted that in season one. We wanted
- 4:57Speaker 3: to see Price k Hill be praise k hell of
- 5:00Speaker 3: the golfer, and so I hope I'm not going to
- 5:03Speaker 3: get in trouble for saying that, but that's what I
- 5:06Speaker 3: really enjoyed. I was outside a lot this season.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Do you play I'm his.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Ex wife, but we have stayed very close. Our relationship
- 5:16Speaker 3: is now like of good friends.
- 5:18Speaker 1: So I like it.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I like that I don't have to fight with Owen
- 5:21Speaker 3: will Gotten.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Do you play golf by chance?
- 5:24Speaker 2: Or no? Oh?
