Thank you so much, I mean a legend just for
coming up with the term arguments alone, Like this is
your baby, right, this is.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The one I have licensed. It is mine, allmine. It's
called arguments. I have a podcast where we debate stuff
like this. It can be your your mount rushmore, would
you rathers? And all kinds of stuff like that, all
those things you would do with your buddies at a bar,
barbecue anywhere else where. We have silly arguments with no
real answer or winner. That's the fun we're having. And
(00:58):
if you guys want to rock and roll, well, I
got a pretty good bargument for you.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Okay, do it?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
A Christmas character that you would want to take on
in a real fight.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So somebody in a Christmas movie or anything, a Christmas
character that you would want to actually have a fight with?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yes, who is the one? Shall I get the party started?
You want to go ahead? You guys all right, I
will go first and foremost, but mine wins. I would
take on Ebenezer Scrooge and a win all take all throwdown.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
My god, Base is like a hundred and something years
old is.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And he reasons why I wanted I didn't say I
wanted a real good fight. I was gonna pulverize Base
before you get started. I'm just gonna tell you. I mean,
I don't want to spoil for anybody. But Scrooge comes around, right. Well,
it took a little while to get him to do that.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
One.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I think I can get him a coverorado one good punch.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, So he's bringing everybody down down. You know, he
doesn't like Chris Miss kind of just wants to be
left alone. I see a lot of myself in Scrooge.
I gotta be honest with you, Dan, Like, yeah, what
if you.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Knew of a family that was hurting and little Timmy
was walking around about to die, you wouldn't go he
gets nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Listen, Little Timmy was wearing people out for a long time,
like they were.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Milking that sympathy teeth as long as they.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Could milk your Dan, Timothy, tim he even gets the
Jewish heart and that's starry, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's like when you turn on the news and that's sad.
Sarah McLaughlin commercial comes on and some dogs about to
get the needle. You're just like, all right, that's enough.
Oh God, here comes the kid and crutches again.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Come on turn all right, so you're on the board
with Scrooge. Here, Allison, we'll go to you. First off,
I don't fight people. This is this oh bull crap.
You give it Nigel and I all.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
The time, So I say this is more of a
verbal I would say. And this This is also on
my list of probably the worst Santas of all time,
the Santa from Rudolph the Red Nose reindew.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You want to fight Santa from.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, specifically that Santa, basically that one,
because he is grumpy from start to finish. He says
how Rudolph, how embarrassing he is, and then at the
very end he's like, oh, maybe I can use him
for my own good. Meanwhile, he won't eat any food.
Missus Claus is trying to cheer him up for the kids.
He's rude at her. He's not eating her food. He's
(03:32):
just never a light and the only time he's happy
is when he gets his way.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I'm starting to see her point a little bit here.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Right day and the other day he's in charge of
how many knuckbag elves walking around making toys, and then
he's got to make sure it's all ready to go
for one not a year. I can see the arnery
from him.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, well, he's clearly doesn't do anything. Missus Claus is
the one walking around doing everything for him, Like you're.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Fine with a group of little employees that wear green
and all this.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
One of them, I even think, wants to become like
a dentist or something stupid. But yet here comes a
rein gear that's got a red nose. And that's where
you draw the line at it. And I don't like
the way that Sanna gives like Rudolph's dad a bunch
of crap.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Do we have this great bouncing iceberg? No, I'm sure
it'll stop as soon as he grows up, Sannah, Well,
let's hope. So if he wants to make the sleigh
team someday.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, Jesus, he's a baby, Go eat some cookies and.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Down dub the edudub It's a turnaround story, like you
guys said it me. He comes out on top, he
gets his way. Classic Allison rant right there. I know that.
Who needs a budge when you can just take that
one right to the heart.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Geez, Christmas movie character, you'd fight if you could nudge Art.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Ellen Griswold's dad in a Christmas vacation, That ungrateful drum bastard.
And you know what, I'll throw Francis in his his
witch wife too. When they're out there on the lawn
and poor Clark Griswold is trying to fire at the
Christmas lights. Them little lights are twinkling. Clark, thanks for
(05:17):
being here, and a little lights they're not twinkling.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I know, Ard, thanks for noticing.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And then his wife goes and then what hope, kids?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You know what a silly ways to resources this.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Is, although he did have one of the best underrated
lines where he goes, what is it, Clarks, your confirmation
to the nuthouse?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hurry up, I'm freezing my back.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Heads off, I'm fighting Art, And if Francis wants to
get in there too, I'll I'll kick her in the shins.
Hands get up, hands, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So Allison gets off in a profanity filled rant about
Santa and I got Nigel kicking women over here.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
This is how you know you've got a good topic
in argument.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm gonna say this argument is taking it right to
the senior audience. I'm loving this all right.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Mine is from the movie Home Alone. But it's not
who you would probably Joe Nope, not Joe Peshi, not
Daniel Stern, not even the uncle that calls, you know,
Kevin a little jerk. I'm talking about the little Nero's
pizza guy, what a pizza kid, the teenage boy, because
(06:29):
throughout the whole movie he drives like a lunatic through
a neighborhood. He's speeding, he's crashing into things. There were
kids that live in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Last time I went to Chicago for a concert, Jacob
and I went to the Home Alone house.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's in a.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Residential neighborhood where children live. And the pizza guys, driving
like a damn lunatic.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Knocks that statue over every time he pulls in the
driveway right.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And then later in the movie, when Kevin is buying
his cheese pizzas he doesn't give that big of a tip. Well,
you know what, little nero pizza guy, maybe you don't
deserve one. How many times have you crashed into things
in my house? He winds about the tip. He drives
like a lunatic. And then when Kevin plays the movie
the Pizza Guy thinks he's hearing a real live murder,
(07:15):
does he call the police. No, he just drives away
like a lunatic, just leaves bodies and corpses in the
house to die. This guy's the worst, the absolute worst.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I gotta tell you, I'm pretty good. Sounds a pretty
good argument. I got nothing for you. I'm bad.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Jump in the YouTube chat or send us a tweet,
Facebook or Instagram message. Let us know Christmas character you
could fight if you could. And Dan, where can we
find more Bargaments?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Find it anywhere that you download your podcasts, and you
can also watch it on YouTube if you want to
see what I look like. And also there's a Facebook
group that is all Bargaments, All day, all night, twenty
four to seven. You are more than welcome to jump
in all the Hammer and Nigel people that are coming
into it and joining in and causing arguments. I love it.
It's a good place to kill time while you're working,
