Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's neck you're all Mario Courtney Lopez cover weekly fake
debate where the topics are made upon the spot, but
the passion is real.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Our Amarell.

Well you all know. Wait, no Ja rule allowed today.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'm Moarell pro was gonna be con.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
My only rule is no jar role. You will be
pro because you were con last week. Courtney will be
con because she was pro lasted from Cottoney because she's Conney.
And your topic today, which will have fifteen seconds make
your case and then in ten second rebuttal afterwards, is
telling someone to take your time.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm pro telling someone to take your time.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
You are pro telling someone to take your time.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Look the worst thing that can happen if someone rushes
doing a task and they're sloppy. It doesn't look good,
it's not complete. You never want to be rushed. You
want to take your time. There's a big difference. I'll
explain later.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
All right, missus Lopez.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
There is nothing worse than someone telling you to take
your time. It's equivalent to relax or calm down. It's
not okay. And furthermore, there is nothing you do in
your life where you take your time.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Mister Lopez, to quote the infamous Pointer sisters, baby, you
can do it, take your time, do it right. You
can do it, Babe, do it tonight, baby, you can
do it. Take your time, do it right. You can

like only Imax Imax. So it's the only is that
the three D that's the one that's really really big.

fun nostalgia. Look at what makes these films so beloved.
Do you have a favorite romantic comedy?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Honey Along Came Polly, Well, that's.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
More straight comedy. Is that a romantic comedy?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think it counts as a wrong call.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I think it's a wrong com because it's about.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
It's about the relationship and trying to.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, yeah, okay, okay, I would label that one a
straight comedy.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
But okay, but that's your opinion, take your time.

I mean pretty.

Ol Mario Courtney Lopez got some July seventeenth birthdays to

Quarto's gonna let us know what obscure holiday we're celebrating.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
It is World Emoji Day.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
So I used to be really against emojis. I've slowly
been incorporating them. I don't get crazy. I don't do sentences,
but I've slowly been incorporating them. You know, I like
the you know, I throw the heart, but now once
in a while I'll throw the fist.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
And and you've also been doing the like the clapping
one or something.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You thought that was praying no.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
No, no, no, there's the brain one, but that's one of
the little hands that look like they're clapping, and the applause.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
When one yes, when I do bravo, so yes. So
there's literally like a handful. I don't get crazy. Well,
here's the thing you're expanding.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
You should find more that can go with the flame
and the heart, because sometimes those two can be taken
the wrong way, like heartburn. Exactly.

All right, Mario Courtney Lopez here quickly celebrating some July
seventeenth birthdays. As always, Fraser is gonna shout him out.

mention if you're headed to Vegas, Kelly Clarkson's kicking off
for Vegas residency at the Colisseum at Caesar's Palace.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I love her so much. I've said it before. She's
my girl crush.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
She's awesome. Speaking of Kelly the Lopez fan and we'll
be guest hosting her show next week on Tuesday. Look
in there, honey.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
It was so much fun doing it, although I was
so sad she wasn't there.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Tear Mario Courtney Lopez and we were wrapping up the
show yesterday, we were talking about Pitbull now being in
the Guinness Book of World Records for assembling the largest
gathering of people with bald caps at a concert. It's
like twenty thousand, right, It's so random, and it got
us thinking, you know, being bald has a lot of pros,
but I'm sure a lot of cons as well. A

(11:53):
buddy of ours, Mike Esterman, who happens to be bald.
He used to have a glorious hair, but then he
at some point decided to go clean dome. I want
to get his official take on it, because here's what
I think are the pros. Obviously, you save time getting
ready in the morning. Okay, you can wear any sort
of hat and it'll work, because you're right, any sort
of hat. Those are just two off the top of

(12:15):
my head that I actually didn't even mean that. As
far as the cons, you really got to be heavy
with the sunscreen because I'm sure you burn. And then
you got to be more diligent about shaving the head.
Should we just ask the bald guys instrument? Am I
missing any pros and cons? Or is there any like
to share?

Speaker 6 (12:34):
I tell you, I like the fact that when I
do shave, I do it in the shower though, because
I don't like a dry shave. Even if you put
there are people out there drying.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
You like different soaps.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
But when in the shower, the heat kind of makes
it fully.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
And then where you're supposed to do it.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, yeah, well no, some people just don't do it.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Somebody was out there on the bus just shaving their
heads whatever.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
But anyway, I like shaving every other day, every day
whenever he gets doubby But that's the downside because you
got to keep the maintenance.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Yeah, However, I love the way it shines, it feels clean,
shut it because you come out and you're like, wow, it's.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Got that lit. When you're like, if you're we don't
have to put anything on it. When you're like at
a motorcycle with no helmet, I bet you the air
feels good. Or if you're really hot, diving into a
pullmas feel great too.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Well those are all great things, but you're right, but
have you ever gotten sunburn on the top of your Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
Of course, and that's what you gotta spray. You gotta
put some lotion. My mom would kill me if I didn't.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's like where's your lunch hat?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
More Fun on the Way On with Mario Lopez, Oh.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Mario Courtney Lopez, More music, Edge Your Way After quick
look at the buzz. With everything adding up, it appears
Taylor and Travis spent more than forty million on their
big day, with Taylor paying one hundred and sixty thousand
for permits alone to have her wedding at the garden,
which was confirmed by the mayor himself. But that's nothing
compared to what they paid for the reception. Estimates say
up the ten million to rent and transform the venue,

(13:55):
two million for catering, and we heard it was buffet
style two million for buf bas style, that's crazy. And
the flowers in the corps five million. And then they
donated twenty six million to various food banks and medical organizations,
which is really really cool.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know what, Say what you want about them. They
had a huge wedding when overboard. They give back so
much that that's awesome. That's They're incredible.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Mario Courtney Lopez, you mentioned this earlier in What's Trending
with Post. Malone will be the headliner for the World
Cup closing ceremony. The show has taken place before the
game kicks off on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey,
home of the Jets and Giants.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem on the final
game day. The closing ceremony will also feature performances from
Nicole Scherzinger, Laura Passini, and Robbie Williams. And Tom Cruise
will make a special appearance. Hopefully he'll do like a
weird thing from the sky.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Drop down and we just show something he goes hi,
I'm Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, what you doing out there?

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Tom?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
It all kicks off Sunday one thirty Eastern with the
actual cakeoff at three on Fox and Telemundo. You're al
Mario Courtney Lopez is talking a bit ago about the
World Cup. Wrap it up. Forty eight teams from all
over the world spent the last month and a half
in North America competing for the World Cup trophy. Of course,
hoost games all taking place in stadiums, so BuzzFeed got

(15:19):
curious about how our stadium food compares to the favored
foods at soccer stadiums around the world. What are the
go choos in some of the other parts of the world.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
So in Australia, it's beer and meat pies with tomato sauce.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
That does not sound appealing at all, and it sounds
like you're just uh your stomach of beer and me.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
I mean meat pies is just basically like a bowlonaise sauce. Yeah,
that's what really wallet all it is. It just sounds
worse the way grosser than it is. Colombia pastellis that's rice,
veggies and meat wrapped tightly in a banana leaf.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, that's not so bad depending on how it's made.
It's almost like a papoosa.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's not bad, very carb conscious and a banana leaf
door seal, chipapas sai, which are French fries, top with
pieces of sausage and saltsaize.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's awesome, amazing, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Japan a pancake with at a mammy and beer all right.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Without a mommy. That's okay, but Japanese isn't what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
All right, Spain beer and sunflower seeds and minimal I
expected better.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
They're on diets. Listen. We didn't cover Mexico, but you
know that fo was on point and it.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Had a line with everything.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, poor Mario.

Speaker 2 (16:26):

Glmarow Courtney Lopez. We're almost out here for the week.
But now before we get to our comment of the week,
what you got, honey.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
This is from at Today years old and they said
everyone loves the idea of no time changes until they're
driving to work in complete darkness at nine am in December.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it sounds good in theory, but today years old
is right, I think get a little depressing. We'll start
feeling like Alaska if it could stay like summertime, or
we get why can't we stay that?

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, that's what they're trying to do.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
So the House of Representatives just passed this bill that
would make daylight saving time permanent, and now it's going
to the Senate and then if it passes there, then
it would be signed by the president.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, but the problem is yeah that okay, Right now,
the sun raises pretty early, like six right with this
new permanent change here in La the sun.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Would rise at eight am in December.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
In December which is wild and not as bad as
the where It's almost nine am.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
North Dakota nine thirty.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yo, that's crazy, that's wild. North Dakota's crazy.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
