Speaker 4 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
We have the weekend observations coming up here and NOURT
number two Michael luck Senior going to join us as well.
It's a mount rushmore Monday. There's a lot to get
to here. Let's start with the World Cup before we
get to Lebron.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
James here is he?

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Yeah, because we're never going to talk about it again
for four years, so we might as well get it
over it.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
This is Lebron's day.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
I mean it's gonna be I think everything is.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Cleared out for Lebron to make some sort of decision.
We'll get to that again in just a couple of minutes.
But Spain beats Argentina in the World Cup Final. Not
a great final, one to nothing. I missed, you know,
the first two halves of the game, and you know
what I missed, I miss nothing, I miss I miss Zilch.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
But Spain does win and Spain was the better team.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Was frustrating watching that game because Argentina is simply trying
to get to penalty kicks and Spain is doing everything
they can to prevent themselves from getting to penalty kicks.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Still, the one prevailing thought that kept growing in my
head throughout that game was if Argentina and they were
down to ten men for a lot of that you know,
second half and extra time, if Argentina finds a way
to get this thing to penalty kicks, and there was
a disallowed goal in there before that first goal, so

(01:43):
there would have been that involved and Argentina would have
gone on to win on pks. It wouldn't have just
been the United States trying to fix soccer. It would
have been the rest of the world trying to fix soccer.
Because never have I seen a more one sided contest
in Sucker and yet it was nil nil for so long.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, and it just made me.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Think, well, clearly, Argentina is doing everything possible to slow
down Spain, which includes a lot of times grabbing them
by the neck. And then that one time where you
did get the second yellow to get the ejection. Effectively,
the Spain player was in the air similar to that
guy who got hit by the buffalo. Okay, it was
just follow the air upside down and it's just like,

(02:25):
if these are the measures Argentina has to go to
to then just win it. In pks, I thought everybody
would have imploded with anger.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Sure, we debated all World Cup. It feels like whether
or not this Argentina team was more team of destiny
or more of a pretender. And that World Cup final
kind of played out exactly like that, where yes they
were a pretender. But then even when they go down
to ten men in extra time, there was like that
five minute stretch where they were just sending crosses into
the box and it was like, it feels like Messi

(02:54):
is gonna give us one more moment of magic even
with ten men. But ultimately the Spain defense was just
too much.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
It also felt like they could have been that aggressive
the entire game.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Well, they just couldn't control the ball the entire game,
and so what happened in that one little segment was
they just finally got the ball. Ye had, you know,
ten on eleven whatever, but they just finally got the
ball in that section, and normally what they were doing
was getting the ball anywhere near sort of midfield or
in their half and then just trying to take a foul,
just collapsing whenever somebody comes next to them so they

(03:25):
can get a free kick situation and set up something
and yet do in that stretch, they were three times
where I was certain it was going to be an
Argentina go absolutely certain you had the one I forget
who it was who just flew it over the top
and I was just like, ooh, that was your chance.
You saw Messi's face. He was like ooh, and then
he was like no. He just shook his head. He
knew that was the last chance. There were three times
there where I was almost certain that was going to

(03:46):
go in and it was just going to be what
I talked about before. They would still get the pks,
they would still potentially win, and the rest of the
world would be like, I just watched something I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
But the MLS they they've got it from here.

Speaker 7 (04:00):
A little preposterous commercial, Well.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
It's ridiculous because there was nothing about that game that's
gonna have me rushing out to see the next MLS game.
I mean that was soccer at its highest level against
two world powers, right taking on each other for the
World Cup Championship. And what you saw was a one
nothing game that was not esthetically pleasing at all.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
But there was one thing that kept going through my
mind every single time I watched Argentina play, and in
the World Cup Final, it was more prominent than at
any of the other times. I just kept saying to myself,
you gotta be kidding me. This team that's in the
World Cup final has not won but two starters who
play for MLS. But that's insane to me. Messim, go

(04:44):
to Paul, and it's just like, you know what, maybe
MLS does got it from here. They got some pretty
good players on that side. But that was the one
thing that was just like, Wow, I never before have
I been a prouder inter Miami fan. And to just
think about that in that context.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Taylor put it on the pole when and MLS says
they've got it from here?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Are you confident.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Taylor has winners and losers from the World Cup, not
from the final, just from the World Cup in general?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
What'd you make of the halftime show?

Speaker 5 (05:15):
But I was just about to say the biggest loser
in the final alone had to be that halftime show,
because I remember so I knew the halftime was going
to be really long stew So I decided to grab
lunch during that time, and I just kind of watched
it on my phone while I went to go pick
up lunch. I had only known of one, maybe two
performers that were going to be there. I heard of
Justin Bieber, and I heard Shakira because everything FIFA.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Alight pay double lunch during the first half.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
And then I saw Madonna and I was like, I
didn't know she was going to be there. I saw
some muppets. I didn't know they were going to be there.
And then when Justin Bieber played his song, I was like,
was that just a way for them to get the
ted Lasso skit in there and have the believed thing?
Because that was doubling down on Corny is.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
He don't get me don't get me started on ted Lasso,
because I feel so alone anytime I tell people that
I don't really care for ted Lasso. I watched the
first season. It was okay, it was good, not great.
Second season rolls around, I say no thanks. I'm good.
There's too much going on. I'm not dedicating time to
ted Lasso. And anytime you tell people that, it's like

(06:20):
you don't love ted Lasso, and I'm like, no, I
don't care for this.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Really, well, you're not the greatest judge here. You didn't
watch Breaking Bad um til twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
People have a weird reaction to that, as if he
said he doesn't like Breaking Bad It is Ted Lasso.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Get over it.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
I mean Ted Lasso's seasons two and maybe three were
better even than season one.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Go ahead, Mike.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Not liking ted Lasso is like when Kramer won't wear
the ribbon.

Speaker 7 (06:43):
That's what that is.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's absolutely like everybody is judging.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
You and they hate you because you don't love Ted last.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
That's all right, Taylor doesn't like heartwarming, It's okay.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
And also, I am so out on Tom Cruise monologue
before sporting events.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Can we leave that with the World Cup too?

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Like I don't need to be watching the World Series
and then oh, what's coming a prepackaged Tom Cruise commercial.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I'm out on it, but I still marvel at how
good he is at it, like everybody else there would
have maybe an earpiece, maybe a speech ready, and you
could just tell, hey, I worked on this script. I
got it all memorized. I'm gonna say Argentina and Spain
and their native language, and I'm gonna kill this.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, And he did, Like I didn't need it, but
he killed it. He's the best we have. I mean
that in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Before we get to the winners and losers. The other
question I have for you guys from the festivities of
the World Cup Final, has Bruce Buffer surpassed Michael Buffer?

Speaker 5 (07:41):
I said the same thing. Wow, not just surpassed him.
I don't think well surpassed you? Did you? You didn't
see the beginning you went to go get lunch. Yes,
when when Michael Buffer went out there and said, and
I can't say it because I think I'm gonna get sued,
let's get ready to whatever he says. And then then
the other Buffer came out there and not only did
his thing, but didn't entire his entire intro, not just

(08:02):
his one line. It is the time. Uh, he did
the entire intro and he did it with more you know,
it doesn't with more flair. And I think he's absolutely surpassed.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Him a couple of Buffers cutting it up. I know that.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
So I agree with Stu Gotts that at one point
it wasn't a question like this would be a laughable debate.
Right now, Michael Buffer was on top of the world.
Boxing was on top of the world. Recently there's been
a shift to MMA and Bruce Buffer, and I think
more people now there's a certain age group where I
think if you ask them anybody my age and younger,

(08:39):
I think it's without a doubt Bruce.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Buffer, Bruce Buffer, Michael Buffer, which one is bigger? Put
it on the pole? Taylor? Okay, yes, well today today
is very important, Yes, because.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I do believe that people of Taylor's age are going
to say Bruce Buffer, and I believe I'm going to
stay in trench the Michael Buffer because he's the original.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
I will say Bruce here also, but I'm going to
add one more loser to the World Cup Final before
Taylor goes. Yeah. And it was John Strong to play
by play guy because there was a moment where I
would say a lot of America in Unison, we're saying
the exact same thing. That's Matt Damon because when he

(09:21):
came on the screen. Initially he goes Brad Pitt at
the game, and everybody, I'm like, what, that's not Brad Pitt,
that's Matt Damon, so everybody else and then like clearly
a producer sent in his ear Matt Damon. He goes, oh,
that was Matt Damon, and he corrected himself. That's the
first time he screwed those up.

Speaker 7 (09:35):
How good is Matt Damon feeling right there?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
So good? How good is Matt Damon feeling right there?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't know how. I don't know how. Most host
countries would get there.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know, the fan base riled up before the World
Cup Final. I imagine if it was being held in Spain,
they would trot out like a former champion in Italy,
a former champion.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
We don't have any good soccer players. We don't have
any champions.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
The only thing we can trot out is Tom Cruise Stu.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
The global world does not need anything to get excited
for the World Cup Finals. America comes in and is like,
how can we dress this up.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Let's get Speed the.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Streamer to come out and do a little song and
dance beforehand.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
So Cruz Bieber Madonna. That was for us in the Muppets.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
I don't know that I've never met a BTS fan,
Like I understand that they are massive, and I understand
that they are huge, just have never come across a
BTS fan. Couldn't name you a BTS song, But yeah,
good for them.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
I've got a niece who keeps me well informed on
all of that musical artists, or those musical artists I do.
Since I called out John Strong, I do also have
to call out a British announcer who, when they showed
Pharrell Williams said that's I believe AKA Rocky. I'm sorry
asap Rocky, and I was like, wow, that's that's worse than.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
The Brad Pitt one.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
That's definitely where its AKA Rocky again.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
All he needs is soccer, all right, Taylor winners and
losers from the World Cup.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
What do you got?

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Let's alternate between winners.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
And Taylor always has music, but this stuff, I mean,
I don't even have buttons that can play music.

Speaker 7 (11:10):
My first winner, Earlin Holland, Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
He entered this World Cup as a superstar and I
think he's left the World Cup as a megastar to.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
The point where I'm deeply regretting not going to hang
out in Fort Lauderdale the night before their game here because.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
He was out and about with the people.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You could see him leaving his hotel and I was like, man,
I missed that guy.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
And people right now are like, man, I want to
get more into soccer. What soccer team should I root for?
And they're like, oh, Man City because of Holland. I'm like, please, please,
Man City doesn't.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Need it, like the United States, don't worry, the MLS
has it from here.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Jesus, Chris, what does that mean?

Speaker 6 (11:46):
I'm going to alternate between winners and losers loser hydration breaks.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
Let's leave him with this World Cup?

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Please. I don't know, man, it's hot out there.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
It is, well, some of the stadiums were in domes.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, if you're not in direct contact with the sun,
I think you could probably get Life stadium.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's like an extra time out. It's not needed.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
I mean next month in Spain though it's pretty hot
over there too.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Let's be honest. It was an ad break, that's what
it was. Yeah, you guys need to take a drink,
but really we.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Got stuff to sell way, so Spain's depending on their
home in their home country.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Spain and Portugal.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah out back to back that.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
My next winner Oasis is Wonderwall. That song. It's having
a moment right now.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I hadn't really picked up on that because I just
known that they've been singing that song for a while
and I was just kind of over it. But I
guess a lot of people just figured that out.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Odd winner shooting off the charts. Yeah you're less though.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
My next loser.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
A combination of Germany and Uruguay, two biggest disappointments of
the tournament. In Uruguay, don't even get me started.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
On those kids.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
While I was in there, the Uruguay quits that look
like the black panther jerseys.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Was terrible, terrible. You got your elf started. You didn't
need us. You wrapped yourself up there.

Speaker 7 (13:03):
You don't get me started.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
But you're already you're talking to yourself.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
For terrible jerseys. People are saying those are the best
jerseys in the World Cup.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Give me a break. I don't like the France jerseys
with the little white collars, and it's like, come on, yeah,
I don't see like collars.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
On any jersey.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
It's so French, my next winner, my third winner, Yes,
cape verdet Ah, Yes, no doubt.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
I think they won the whole World Cup if we're
being honest.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
At least the runner ups.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
I mean they're the only team to score on Spain.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
No, I think they played out to a nil nil
drop Belton, she knew that the only team that.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
Spain didn't beat Okay.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
The next loser Thomas tucle England's coach, third place kick.
That third place game was a glorified all star game.
But even still, their ability to push France to the
wall and France mounts his comeback they get to trailing it.
I won four to three tucl subs on Jude Bellingham.

(14:04):
They stay on the attack, They put away France. He
kind of saw like if they just stayed on the
attack against Argentina, they're probably in the final and they
would have gave Spain a much better.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Game, were they As they had the joke after they
scored in the third minute, you think Thomas Tukele is
gonna send then a fifth defender and just park the
bus from here on out. You know he was waiting
the entire day to drop that joke.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Is that it teller, you have no losers.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
I have one more winner, one more loser. Okay, my
last winner, Lamina Mal's brother.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Every time they put Laminia Maul's little brother on the screen,
I physically went, huh.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
That kid's a superstar into making all right, your last
loser here.

Speaker 7 (14:45):
My last loser.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
And it's the biggest loser, probably the person that hurt
their stock the worst. This World Cup Captain America Christian Polis.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Not soccer, just him.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
At least he can rest Now.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I have a winner. The third place gamefl if.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
There was ever a time. Now the third place game
is bigger in the first place game. It's wild.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
Poro chance to cross hoax it in Williams badly knocks it.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Stu, I'm gonna give you a little little nugget that
might help us predict where Lebron James is going. You ready, okay?
In two thousand, who won the World Cup?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I have no idea Spain?

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Okay, where did Lebron choose to go? In twenty ten?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Miami who just won the World Cup.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
In twenty twenty six, Spain, who's a free agent about
to decide where he's going to go in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's a segment I like to call loose connections.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Right now, people are all given a lot of flowers
to Torres for that goal. I think we need to
give more flowers to Nico Williams for the pass. That
pass was maybe the most underrated pass in sports history.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
And I feel like his little ponytail gives him an
advantage because if he misses it with his head, he
can still whip it with that ponytail and get a good, good,
you know, strike on it.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Was that pass better than Jalen Brunson's pass to Og
for the tipping.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Or Messy's pass in the semi final.

Speaker 6 (16:41):
I mean the Bronson one was a good pass because
a lot of people have simple minds and don't think
it really was a pass.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
The pass to Og that he shot it up in time,
so Og had time to tip it back in after
he missed.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
It backflips to give Jalen fronts in credit.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
So you have Lebron coming to Miami based on Spain.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
I used to, well, based on that, based on strictly
you know, coincidence, But I used to like think that
he was definitely gonna come here because it made the
most basketball sense. And then I started saying, well, I
feel like it's a narrative based and he wants to
end it in Cleveland. And now every time somebody has
a good inkling on where he's gonna go, people that
I follow will show the calshe projections on and I'm

(17:25):
just like, this is too much.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's too much.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
I just need him to decide. I don't want to
be teased every single time somebody has, you know, a
potential landing spot for him.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
It is a mount rushmore Monday, and we'll get to
it in just a second. We have an update coming up.
But what is the what is the topic here for
Mount Rushmore Monday? Who is the it's been a minute
since we've all been in studio, who was the last winner,
and what is this week's topic?

Speaker 6 (17:49):
I'm the defending champion for Mount Rushmore Monday. The I
went off the board here trying to get a topic
for what the Mount Rushmore Monday is gonna be. It's
gonna be movies that Will Farrell was in. So it
doesn't have to be Will Ferrell's best roles. It just
has to be what movies Will Farrell's been in, because
right now he's dominating. He's got this new show on Netflix.

(18:10):
He was Home Run Derby, he was at the World
Cup Final. But I think people are starting to look
at Will Ferrell a little differently because it feels like,
feels like he kind of jumped the shark. And I
don't know if that's must changing him changing or what
happened there.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
So when you say they're looking at him differently, like
he's not funny anymore, Yeah, like.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
His jokes just really aren't hitting anymore. Like you're watching
him on the SP's and it's like, yeah, man, what happened?
I used to think this guy was the funniest person
in the world, Like again, did I grow up? Did
my sensibilities change in terms of humor? Did he just
run out of jokes? Or did he yes? Or did
he age out of comedy? Because Will Ferrell Saturday Night Live,
you could put his peak with anybody.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yes, put it on the pohletailer at Stegatt seven ninety
on X.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Did Will Ferrell run out of jokes?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's a great question. Matt Rushmore, Mundy Day. The order
I am told is mikey A, myself, Izzy and Taylor,
and we are doing Mount Rushmore of movies Will Farrell
has appeared in, not started in, just heared it? Okay,
very important because I'm struggling to find four movies that

(19:18):
would make up a Mount Rushmore for Will Farrell.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I mean, I really am.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
He has jumped a shot, he's run out of jokes.
Mikey A, take it away. You are up first here.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I hate this, Sorry, Mike. Mike.

Speaker 10 (19:37):
Do you find yourself needing a picking up as you're
dragging and your cubicle start the week? Are you ready
to put the sports back in sports talk? Well, then
you're in luck because every Monday we climbed a Mountain.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
We talked the legends, and we argue about things you.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Can't.

Speaker 10 (20:00):
I have the truth that absolutely do not matter and
are completely subjective.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
This is about Rushmore Monday Monday.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Now it is official. Mikey A, my apologies. I needed
to get to the imaging. I love imaging. I knew
there was imaging for this.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
I blew it.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
That's on me.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
I want to say, Matt rock Moore, Monday is like
riding a bike, but it's not Tahoe.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, gets you.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Parasites. You're parasites by the way, mine are thriving. They're
really living it up in there.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
All right.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Well, I hate this pick. I hate having this pick.
I did not want the one pick. And now we
have Jason who's actually going to be deciding our winner.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
And he describes himself as.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
A quote film buff, which when I look at Will
Ferrell's catalog, I do not see many films.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yes, yes, Dan is out today. He's playing golf. So ep,
Jason is our judge. Monty cannot be the joke because
she is clearly biased.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Okay, Yes, that.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Being said, I'm just gonna go with the thing that
I immediately think of when I think of Will power.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I'm gonna go with old School.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
I had this as the one one, did you, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
We don't think I've seen it start to finish.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I mean the next one's obvious.

Speaker 11 (21:20):
For me.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's Anchorman, think much about It's the only other movie
I know.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
I was thankful that you both took those two, and
that those would be the two that you picked, because
while we are supposed to try to win this thing,
I'm really only picking Will Ferrell movies or performances that
I actually liked. And number one is the one that
I've seen the most by far is Elf.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
It's a good movie, fantastic.

Speaker 7 (21:48):
I considered it.

Speaker 6 (21:48):
You're limited in the window because it is a Christmas movie,
Like I'm not gonna pop on Elf in June?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (21:54):
It makes you think about Christmas. Who doesn't want to
think about Christmas?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Well?

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Some people? People a lot of gifts about Jewish be wow.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
I love how this board has fallen to.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Me thinking about howika though I am anyway, gotta tell
you have two here.

Speaker 7 (22:10):
Taylor yep, back to back pixel for the Snake draft.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
I have my number two and three on my board still,
I mean, double check, yes, I.

Speaker 7 (22:18):
Do wedding Crashers.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
Yeah, I thought that would have been one, to be honest,
great long, great role from I think I know your
next pick is too, and they.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Were on the list, so this might be not who
you're thinking, is he because this is my favorite movie,
my most rewatchable movie. I think Will Ferrell's best role
in movie. The other guys really, yeah, I love the
other guys. I think I could have got a bigger
movie in terms of name value here, but I would

(22:52):
have kicked myself if I didn't get the other guys.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
I almost didn't even write down the other guys because
I'm so not a fan.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
Of well Derek Jeter.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
But even though, man, I don't know which one of
these movies I liked better because I've got two that
are just yelling at me right now. But I'm gonna
go ahead and take the one that is probably more
popular and quotable and say step Brothers.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, it's a good pick.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
I think it was a toss up, though, if Stue
knows which other one I was talking about, Talladega Knights
you got.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
I mean, that's that is one of the funniest movies
I've ever seen, and so I'm feeling pretty good about
my chances of you know, when I have Anchorman and
Talladega Knights.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Yeah, but when you see how funny Talladega Knights is
and then you see Will Ferrell popping up for the
home run derby, does a part of you go like, Man,
this is sad.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yes, it's also worse. Nobody's gonna go visit the Will
Ferrell mount Rushmore and be like, Wow, he's got such
a future ahead of him. No, they already know his
best work has already passed.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
All right, Mikey, you're up here.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
This is why I didn't want one one.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
This is this is the exact spot I didn't want
to be in. All of the all of the things
I was hoping to fall to me did not come back.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I feel like there's two remaining though that stand out
a bit I did.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I bet you do, but I did agree.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
So the first one I'm gonna take, we're going to
go in the way back Machine and we're gonna he
had a bit roll in it.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
We're gonna take.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Austin Powers Wait, which the International Man of Mystery. You
got to be specific because he made a couple he
was Yes, good pick.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
I thought I was gonna be able to sneak that
bad people.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, we're going with the movies. So after that, I'm
gonna go with I'm gonna take Zoolander.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
Wow. Wow, I don't.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Think i've seen that one from starts, samueluting that I'm
quiet I'm judging here. I'm quietly judging you. I know
your Will Ferrell hatred.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Sam.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
If you had to pick right now, just based on
what we've selected, who would you select?

Speaker 5 (25:04):
This is unfair.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
You do not do that.

Speaker 11 (25:06):
I'm asking the weeds here, but I have an easy,
easy mount rushmore for Will.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Ferrell and answering my question.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
Yes, now, Jason's the judge.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm just here quietly judging. I'm just asking it hypothetically.
If you were the judge.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
I can't even remember who picked what.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'm just disappointing you, guys.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
You normally, normally Dan Byer has a golden ticket. I
actually have the opposite of a golden ticket, a rotten egg. Really,
if you pick it, you should automatically get to squad at.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
The opposite of a golden ticket.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
I was gonna tell you guys that I have a
golden ball, and I also have a Pooh Emoji. Both
have been taken. The Golden Ball has been taken, and
the Pooh Emoji movie has been taken.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
What happens if the same person takes both?

Speaker 7 (25:47):
Then I have a decision to make.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Nope yet out here on the clock.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, my third movie here? I mean, it's the
best movie remaining I think on the list.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
I'll go old.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
School School was the first saw, the one I took first.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh, you took that. It's off the board. That's unfortunate.
If you don't.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
You nodded in agreements and like I was, Sam, I
don't know who selected what.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Stuart should try to draft Lebron James with the fifteen
of the twenty two thousand and three NBA draft When
I love them there for me?

Speaker 11 (26:21):
When I'm hearing is he being like I didn't even
finish some of these movies. I'm just like, this is outrage.
I demand an investigation. Could have Finishland what It's overrated?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
No, it's not, it's great, it is. It just came
out out after nine eleven.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
That's why people didn't watch it.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
No one wanted to play it.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, you stopped ring out Sam Jay and Silent Bob strikes.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Backs on my list. That's where I'm going, just that
I have no you don't know the same Jaane Silent
Bob Movies.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Just heard it. That's so good.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
I don't hate it. I hate that pic.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'm semi torn here. I've got of the remaining movies
by far my favorite Will Farrell movie. But there's another
one that's got a couple of lines in it that I.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Love, right wall, Your favorite Will Farrell.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Movie is still out there, the one that's remained, like
my favorite Will Farah movie is out I already have it, okay,
but of the remainings, this one's my favorite, and I'm
gonna choose it anyway. All right, I'm going with Mega Mind. Wow, Yes,
Mega Mind.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't hate that. Hilarious.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
I don't hate that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I don't know that.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
You know Mega Mind?

Speaker 7 (27:28):
Oh my god, animated?

Speaker 2 (27:32):
All right?

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Hilarious?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Is he?

Speaker 6 (27:35):
I am so glad you picked Mega Mind there, because
I thought you were gonna steal my pick here. Give
me the movie that has Mike Dick, Give me the
movie that has give it to the Italians. It's kicking
and screaming, a great movie. Once he starts coming addicted
to coffee, and then for my snake pick when it's
coming back around. This is a cameo in this movie.

(27:56):
But again, I might not have the greatest movie palette,
but if you asked me what's my favorite movie of
all time, this movie is gonna be in the conversation.
It's Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson, The Internship, the internep trying.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
To save Google.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (28:12):
Google.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
It's about the people. It's about the people at Google,
not about the technology.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
All right, So my other one that I was debating
between Mega min Dan is still there and I'm gonna
take it, but I almost feel a little bit nervous
about it. So I'm gonna need Sam to confirm here
for me. All Right, Sam, all right, which of the
Austin Powers movies did Will Ferrell drop this line?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
The wound is beginning to smell like omens.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
That's got of me, Austin Powers, the spy who shagged me? Right, Uh, well,
that's the one where he was like.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
He gets burnt.

Speaker 11 (28:44):
I believe it doesn't get ejected into the seat from
the seed into the fire of the furnace pit or
whatever boilers in the first one, but also the second one.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
Yes, So the second one is when he fell off
a cliff and he was down there, cause that's the
one where he's like he had to say everything three times? Right, yes,
three times?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
But we are currently So I'm.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Going with Austin Powers, a spy who shagged me because
Mikey picked the wrong Austin Powers film.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Better movie, better, Will Ferrell spot? You have the better
Will Ferrell spot? I have the better movie.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
So old school's been taken.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Huh, yeah, Stu, what was your first pick?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Anchor? Man?

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Doesn't it have a sequel?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
It does?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Boy?

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Isn't there one movie in particular where he went out
with other another SNL guy and they were dancing a lot?

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Hey? Hey, hey, hey, I was thinking about both of
those movies. Hey, No, I was.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
But I'm gonna go with Barbie about that. There you go,
Yeah the film buff That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, Barbie sneaky pick there, Well, I've seen it three times.
I mean.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
All right, So last pick for me Blades of Glory,
Lego Mingo movies hard let me pro Dick.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
I'm gonna I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take Night at.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
The Rock, Night at the Rock.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Wow, No one taking Dick?

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Huh I think, Mikey, you mentioned Get Hard. I think
if you look at Will Ferrell's IMDb, hey, Get Hard
was the moment.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Where Will Ferrell jumped the shark.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
I think that movie was the first movie that I
watched him where I'm like, okay, he's he's he used
to be throwing ninety nine. He used to be the
Miz throwing one oh five. He's currently throwing like ninety four.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Here see, here's the problem. When he actually jumped the
shark was when he tried to save the office when
Steve Barrell left, D'Angel v came on and he tried
to beat D'Angelo Vickers, and it just it wasn't funny.
It didn't work. So yeah, I think that's the moment
Will Farrell jumped the stark. But let's get to a
EP Jason and see what he.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Hasks real quickly, real quickly.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
When you said the Miz, I know you weren't talking
about the Mizz he shows up the Lake Tahoe the wrestler,
But I was imagining as Ryan Fox is gonna join
us tomorrow up the Open Championship winner. I was imagining
him Taylor playing a round of golf at the speed
he likes to play at, but playing with the miss
the wrestler.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
Because I made something has to give.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
He is the slowest golfer I have ever seen.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
All right, ep, Jason, Oh, it's the winner of today's
Mount Rushmore Monday.

Speaker 9 (31:22):
You have made me think. And like I said, I
had a golden ball, and there was taken. It was
taken in the first round. Stu picked Anchorman my golden ball,
and my pool emoji was taken in the first round
as well. Izzy chooses Elfe, not a.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Fan man, probably happiness and joy and Christmas and everything else.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
Probably a little too old to enjoy elf. My son
loves elf. I think that says a lot. Okay, so
it basically what Stu has to finish in the top two.
But to quote Ricky Bobby, if you wain't in first,
here and last, yes, so I'm gonna put Izzy as
my fourth pick. I'm gonna put Mikey coming in third.
Those were solid, but the Austin Powers was a little

(32:02):
too early for my taste. Stue finished his second and
again going back to back Taylor winning crashers and the
other guys. Farrow nails those parts and the kicking and
screaming internship are very underrated Taylor with a very very
good selection. Taylor's my winner today.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
So niche such a niche list. I mean, anybody who
watches Mega Mind and doesn't crack up. I mean, come on,
step Bay through City Step thank you.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
My rotten egg that didn't get picked was Holmes and Watson.
Holmes and Watson the only movie that I've ever gone
to where I walked out.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Frankly, that wasn't even on the IMDb list that I saw,
so I can't imagine it was any good ep.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Jason. If I chose Dick, what I have won?

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
I give you credit actually for going Barbie. That was
like an OSCAR nominated movie that I've totally spaced on.
So credit for that. But the industry to question, no,
Taylor wins us one, hands down all.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
We have a weekend observations coming up here in a
few minutes. Michael LK Senior going to join us in
No Hour number two. Yes, I have a slight observation
of my own mind. There's just certain times where anybody
speaks and just a word that they say, or maybe
a phrase that they say, just kind of catches your ear.
And there was a line that you delivered twice in
that read going into that last break. Yeah, and you

(33:52):
said a word that I've never heard anybody say the
way you said it.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Ricardo, do we have that sound?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
That's FanDuel dot com to Gods to play daily Dingers
Dingers Dinger.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
That's a very hard G on that dingers because most
people just say dingers.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, I feel like with Dinger that it should be
a hard G. You're deserving of a hard G. Mikey, Yeah,
you made a face there.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
What happened? Did I say it right? I mean it?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
It did sound weird when when he played it back.
I did hear it. I hear what they're saying.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Okay, do you really because I don't.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
I mean, I don't mean to be defensive, like I'm
all about making fun of myself. I've been doing it
for twenty years. But I feel like Dinger, I said
it the way you're supposed to say it.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I might be wrong here.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
What do you think, Taylor?

Speaker 6 (34:36):
The observation that I had is he you are the
Michael Jordan of Coming and forth mount.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
So I'm not hnding very many Dingers when it comes
to the Mount Rush from You know what, I just
have different opinions as the people who are in the mountain.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
Or brushmore Monday is he? I just pencil you in for.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Four, I'm told by EP Jason. We have sound of
Jason mckendyre saying Bellinger with a hard G last week.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I want to hear it. Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Cody Bellinger the hero to run RBI single early on,
and he ended up getting the MVP award. Here's Bellinger
on winning the MVP.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
M Bellinger hitting Dingers.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
But it's Bellinger, right, Yeah, it is Jude Bellingham.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
It's not Dinger though.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Can I hear myself say Dinger one more time? Please? Dingers?
You hear that word?

Speaker 5 (35:30):
You don't think home runs for some reason?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Right? What do you think of? Like a treat? Yeah?
A ring?

Speaker 10 (35:35):
Ding?

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Yeah? Like something that makes a sound?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Maybe? Yeah? Is he?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
So?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Today is the day, according to Pat Bev, that Lebron
James is.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Going to make his decision.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I can't believe that we're still waiting on Lebron James
to make up his mind. But the World Cup is over,
Lebron has the stage to himself. I imagine it will
come down, you know, today tomorrow, on a non eventful
sports day.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
So what do you think here?

Speaker 5 (36:02):
I have a difficult time, no matter how much I
think it makes the most basketball sense and the most
family sense. Let me say this one more time. If
Lebron wants to be as good a dad as possible,
Miami is as where Bronni should be.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yes, you're saying he's already a good dad. But if
you want to be.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
The best dad, correct, right, then Miami is the best
place for Brownie long term. But I just have a
hard time envisioning a second time that Lebron James lets
down the people of Cleveland, right, because obviously in twenty ten,
most people, most people without any insight, thought yeah, he's
probably gonna go back, and then you know, chooses Miami

(36:40):
famously burn a bunch of jerseys and everybody hated him
for a while. I have a hard time believing that's
gonna happen again. I believe him sort of teasing all
these other teams and toying with all these other teams,
it's the way to say, Hey, Cleveland, despite all that,
I'm still here with you for my last year, maybe
last two years, in large part because you know, there's
a documentary involved, there's the whole retirement tour and everything else.

(37:04):
And while he did say he has some unfinished business
in Miami, I think Rich Paul might have said that,
maybe not Lebron, that it just doesn't feel like it's
enough of a tug to get him down here one
more time, even though, like I said, it makes the
most basketball sense. A lot of people are coming around.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
To if I could just clear up some things around
Lebron James. ESPN's Dave mcmanhamon said, Rich Paul told him Friday,
there are no perfect options for Lebron. Kendrick Perkins said
he heard Miami is at the top of the list,
and then Mark Spears told him an NBA coach said,
it's Cleveland or Philadelphia or Golden State.

Speaker 7 (37:35):
So exactly for everybody.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Perfectly clear, exactly the way Lebron wants it. It's exactly
the way.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
I see all those squiggly colored lines every time I
see the Calci update. I don't know who's in the
lead here, but I don't believe any of that stuff
is real. I believe Lebron has already decided and it's
just sitting back laughing at everybody else's reporting.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
It's the one team he kind of hasn't mentioned. You know,
he did the trust the process. There's some Miami stuff
that he said, he hasn't really mentioned Cleveland, yes Dayler.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
So I know Lebron has done a ton for Rich
Paul already in Rich Paul's career. But if you're Rich Paul,
you have to be looking at Lebron being like, can
you please break this news on my podcast?

Speaker 7 (38:05):
Please?

Speaker 5 (38:06):
That's a great point forgot about his podcast. That's a
perfect place to do it No.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Doesn't Lebron have one? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
I think it's only in season though,
