Hot Sauce is a fictional family owned company. Anthony believes

to him, the entire experience is staged. Every colleague activity
(01:27):
and moment is performed by actors, with the setup meticulously orchestrated.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, that's a lot of time, money, and energy
for a prank that can fall apart at any second.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Everybody's got to be on point.
Speaker 4 (01:41):

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Time once again for our weekly fake debate, where the
topics are made upon the spot, but the passion is
very real.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
All right, Fraser, let's get into it. Who's pro? Who's gone?
I think you were con last week. You like to
be pro, so I'll let you be pro this week.
Get Cody. I'm a pro kind of guy. I'm a
positive Cordney negative, gets to be con.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
You have fifteen seconds to make your case, ten second
rebuttal afterwards. Your topic today is taking a nap at
six pm. I'm pro, you're pro taking a nap at
six pm.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Taking a nap at any point in the day is
healthy and beneficial, even at six pm, especially if you
get up early. Now, the six pm nap can't be
a slumber. We're talking twenty thirty minutes, but it can
help you right before you have dinner or you're gonna
go out and party disco nap.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
There is nothing good about six pm nap. You might
as well just call it a night and stay in bed.
Which turns out that's not a nap, is it. No,
it's a slumber. It's your night time. Good night, Irene.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Lopez. I think anything after eight pm is different, but
that sounds pretty calm. Six pm.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, actually, you know what, I take that back, after
APM is not different, depending how long your evening is
going to be.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You plan on going dancing, you plan going clubbing? Oh,
God forbid? Oh look at you. You're going you going clubbing.
If I do go clubbing, I one will be taking
a nap. There's no way. I'm not taking a nap.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
If I'm going clubbing, is never going club the next Lopez.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Thanks your cleving days a gown, honey.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, there is just no point, no point, because really
our bedtime we wish was seven pm now, so a
six pm nap?
Speaker 7 (03:50):

The movie Preschool is out now, Plus has got another
baby on, so I got to ask about that and
more when Josh joins us next stebyone Marria Lopez joining
me right now, probably our most frequented guest, My man,
Josh Dumel.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
How you doing, Josh, I'm doing great, Mario, Thanks for
having me always great to have you. Brother. Congrats.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I saw you and your wife just announce you're expecting
another baby. We're the same age you, sir, are brave
to go right back in there again. I got a
six year old, and I thought, I was like, we're
about to get on that horse.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Agod, get in there. I got friends who are sending
the kids off the college. I know right there, I
am still changing dirty diapers.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
I'm so excited to meet it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I can't even tell you, dude, that's gonna be awesome.
That's gonna be awesome. That's great. What's baby do? June ninth, Oh, okay,
around the corner.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Speaking of kids, your new comedy Preschool is out now
about two dads battling it out to get their kid
into the last spot at a high end pre school.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
This is a very real thing.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean it sounds funny, but this sort of stuff happens.
They had to be fun making this one.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Oh yeah, and you're right it was. I read this
script and I was like, oh my gosh, I can't
believe this movie hasn't been made. Yeah, right, because as
you probably have been through, we've definitely been that. We
just actually went through it with our two year old
pre priest, not even preschool, it's like before that, right.
The amount of pressure and competition that these parents go
(06:21):
through or put themselves through to get their kids into
these preschools is unbelievable. I think that anybody with kids,
or or people who know people with kids, are gonna
find this will be pretty funny and relatable.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And you shouldn't charge that much, especially when you're only
coloring and you can't even read that itself is a client.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's a hustle. Don't even get me started, trust me,
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, josh Hank tight quick break and we're going
to come back with some more Joshua Mel.
Speaker 1 (06:47):

out on Zoom talking about his new movie Preschool, which
is out now. And I saw it was a little
MMA time fight scene right there, wrote the rival Dad, Right,
oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Yeah, you know, we set up to make the least
John Wick. It is not this is not like. This
is not a slick Hollywood fan scene, and we wanted
this thing to be messy and ugly.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And two dudes who never fought before. That's great, that's great.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Yeah, Class of the Titans. Yeah, maybe not so much,
but yeah, it was. You know, Michael Soka, the guy
that plays the other dad, is such a great actor
and he's hilarious in this movie. And the mothers, the wives,
I should say, Charity Wakefield and Antonio Thomas and the
famous James Cosmo plays his dad. So you know, I
(07:40):
got a We moved this from London from Malibu to
London because you know, we can't. Nobody wants to shoot
anything in California anymore. It's too expensive, it is, fortunately so,
but London became the spot for the movie.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
And uh it was a huge blessing because you know,
it's the talent pool is unbelievable over there.
Speaker 2 (08:00):

in disguise. I suppose good for you, man, Good for you.

(01:27):
and moment is performed by actors, with the setup meticulously orchestrated.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, that's a lot of time, money, and energy

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Everybody's got to be on point.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
On point. And the new documentary The Rise of Red

Speaker 2 (02:03):

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Time once again for our weekly fake debate, where the
topics are made upon the spot, but the passion is
very real.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
All right, Fraser, let's get into it. Who's pro? Who's gone?
I think you were con last week. You like to
be pro, so I'll let you be pro this week.
Get Cody. I'm a pro kind of guy. I'm a
positive Cordney negative, gets to be con.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
You have fifteen seconds to make your case, ten second
rebuttal afterwards. Your topic today is taking a nap at
six pm. I'm pro, you're pro taking a nap at
six pm.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Taking a nap at any point in the day is
healthy and beneficial, even at six pm, especially if you
get up early. Now, the six pm nap can't be
a slumber. We're talking twenty thirty minutes, but it can
help you right before you have dinner or you're gonna
go out and party disco nap.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
There is nothing good about six pm nap. You might
as well just call it a night and stay in bed.
Which turns out that's not a nap, is it. No,
it's a slumber. It's your night time. Good night, Irene.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Lopez. I think anything after eight pm is different, but
that sounds pretty calm. Six pm.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, actually, you know what, I take that back, after
APM is not different, depending how long your evening is
going to be.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You plan on going dancing, you plan going clubbing? Oh,
God forbid? Oh look at you. You're going you going clubbing.
If I do go clubbing, I one will be taking
a nap. There's no way. I'm not taking a nap.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
If I'm going clubbing, is never going club the next Lopez.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Thanks your cleving days a gown, honey.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, there is just no point, no point, because really
our bedtime we wish was seven pm now, so a
six pm nap?
Speaker 7 (03:50):

The movie Preschool is out now, Plus has got another
baby on, so I got to ask about that and
more when Josh joins us next stebyone Marria Lopez joining
me right now, probably our most frequented guest, My man,
Josh Dumel.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
How you doing, Josh, I'm doing great, Mario, Thanks for
having me always great to have you. Brother. Congrats.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I saw you and your wife just announce you're expecting
another baby. We're the same age you, sir, are brave
to go right back in there again. I got a
six year old, and I thought, I was like, we're
about to get on that horse.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Agod, get in there. I got friends who are sending
the kids off the college. I know right there, I
am still changing dirty diapers.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
I'm so excited to meet it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I can't even tell you, dude, that's gonna be awesome.
That's gonna be awesome. That's great. What's baby do? June ninth, Oh, okay,
around the corner.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Speaking of kids, your new comedy Preschool is out now
about two dads battling it out to get their kid
into the last spot at a high end pre school.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
This is a very real thing.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean it sounds funny, but this sort of stuff happens.
They had to be fun making this one.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Oh yeah, and you're right it was. I read this
script and I was like, oh my gosh, I can't
believe this movie hasn't been made. Yeah, right, because as
you probably have been through, we've definitely been that. We
just actually went through it with our two year old
pre priest, not even preschool, it's like before that, right.
The amount of pressure and competition that these parents go
(06:21):
through or put themselves through to get their kids into
these preschools is unbelievable. I think that anybody with kids,
or or people who know people with kids, are gonna
find this will be pretty funny and relatable.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And you shouldn't charge that much, especially when you're only
coloring and you can't even read that itself is a client.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's a hustle. Don't even get me started, trust me,
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, josh Hank tight quick break and we're going
to come back with some more Joshua Mel.
Speaker 1 (06:47):

MMA time fight scene right there, wrote the rival Dad, Right,
oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Yeah, you know, we set up to make the least
John Wick. It is not this is not like. This
is not a slick Hollywood fan scene, and we wanted
this thing to be messy and ugly.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And two dudes who never fought before. That's great, that's great.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Yeah, Class of the Titans. Yeah, maybe not so much,
but yeah, it was. You know, Michael Soka, the guy
that plays the other dad, is such a great actor
and he's hilarious in this movie. And the mothers, the wives,
I should say, Charity Wakefield and Antonio Thomas and the
famous James Cosmo plays his dad. So you know, I
(07:40):
got a We moved this from London from Malibu to
London because you know, we can't. Nobody wants to shoot
anything in California anymore. It's too expensive, it is, fortunately so,
but London became the spot for the movie.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
And uh it was a huge blessing because you know,
it's the talent pool is unbelievable over there.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
