technology that was intended to be used for free energy
for the world, but the government wanted to weaponize it,
and uh, you know, a few tweaks here and there,
something that was gonna be very good for the world
turned into be something that could be very bad. So
he took it and he went into the into the woods,
into hiding and he's been living off the grid for
(05:13):
five years, and oh wow, I think that's what really really,
you know, I love that about the script. When I

unplugged living this life that's is basically as you can
get and it's very innovative, and his gadgetry felt very
uh very mcguiver. Yeah, and I like and I like that,

dads who are fighting to get their kid into the
last spot in this super pretentious preschool and sabotage and
(08:10):

Speaker 5 (08:44):
So this is a movie that I did with Alan Hunger,
who directed a movie called Bandit we did a couple
of years ago, really talented young director about a guy
who's sort of a past his prime. He's a he's
a hit man who's past his prime. Opening the movie,
he shoots the wrong person and has to go into
hunting in Los Angeles, leaves London London to a Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Is it a comedy? Oh yeah, because it sounds hilarious.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
His site isn't quite what it used to be, so
he gets his job Harry h mob boss in l
a and ends up working for him in exchange for
going back to see his son in London. Yeah, he
has to teach this mob boss his son how to
be a man. He takes his his son is a
(09:32):
little soft, so he makes me take him on a
hit and it's just it's just a you know.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's a that's an awesome premise.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
A lot of a lot of a lot of mishaps
for sure, but it's a fun movie. Really talented cast
and very excited about that one.
Speaker 2 (09:48):

Thanks for checking in, brother.

You're the man.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Mario, All right, body, I hope to see you sooner.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Cure.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Thanks back.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh with Mario and Courtney Lopez. Just talking about summer.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A lot of people excited for warmer weather vacations, of course,
but one thing no one looks forward to is those
summer electric bills.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Keeping the house cool is not cheap. So what is
the best temperature to set your air conditioning on?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Well, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program,
it's seventy eight degrees.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh come on, what are you you, lizard? Or seventy
eight degrees not your money?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Follow recommendation, though I'm guessing nobody follows his recommendation. Consumer
reports found seventy two degrees was the most common setting,
but that six degree difference will cost you about ten
percent more than keeping it at seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
That's a good investment money.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well soon, can I tell you something, seventy two degrees
with the acon feels different than seventy two degrees with
a heater on too.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yep, a person does. Yeah, you're a Mario Lopez.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Thanks back.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh with Mario and Courtney Lopez. Just talking about summer.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A lot of people excited for warmer weather vacations, of course,
but one thing no one looks forward to is those
summer electric bills.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Keeping the house cool is not cheap. So what is
the best temperature to set your air conditioning on?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Well, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program,
it's seventy eight degrees.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh come on, what are you you, lizard? Or seventy
eight degrees not your money?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Follow recommendation, though I'm guessing nobody follows his recommendation. Consumer
reports found seventy two degrees was the most common setting,
but that six degree difference will cost you about ten
percent more than keeping it at seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
That's a good investment money.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well soon, can I tell you something, seventy two degrees
with the acon feels different than seventy two degrees with
a heater on too.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yep, a person does. Yeah, you're a Mario Lopez.
