9:01 pm
because nothing says christmas spirit quite like arguing with the people you love. featuring jimmy failla. todd pierro. janice dean. raymond arroyo. michael loftus. kacie mcdonnell and me pete hegseth. now here's your host, tom shillue. i am your host, tom shillue. we've got two teams playing for bragging rights and a cash prize for charity. over here, the red team is ready to rumba. and on this side, the green team. let's get this sleigh off the ground, shall we? we're going to start with one on one debates. first up, jimmy versus raymond. you guys ready? let's go. let's go. okay. now, your question is, what is the most annoying christmas song?
9:02 pm
oh, is it the chipmunk song? christmas. don't be late. or all i want for christmas is my two front teeth. raymond, you are up first. tell us why the chipmunk song should be on the naughty list. i'm definitely on the naughty list. and jimmy, it offends me and hurts me, actually, that you have taken the side of the chipmunk song because as anybody knows, listen to that song. this is about a man who is cohabitating with underage rodents. i just want you to know that listen to the lyrics. but more than that. okay. this was a fake gimmick created by a guy named ross bagdasarian, who is allegedly dave seville. there is no dave seville. it's a stage name. but if you listen to the lyrics of the song, he's recorded this song about wanting things from santa in the voice of these little chipmunks. this thing went on for decades where he just recorded himself on fast play. i don't think this helped. i think it's destructive.
9:03 pm
it's an annoying song, maybe second only to chipmunk love for really bad songs. but worse than that, i know you're you're going to be arguing against me. all i want for christmas is my two front teeth. i would just say to you, when nat king cole and sinatra record the chipmunk song, call me hello, get dang. they sang god dang it over to you, jimmy. i love it. it's time to play the feud with what's going on. i love it. hi, ho, ho, ho, ho! all right, here we go. here we go. here we go. i am here to make the case for the chipmunk song. why? because if we're being honest about all i want for christmas is my two front teeth. that kid needs singing lesson a lot more than he needs teeth. okay. the kid is a self-absorbed monster. and why is that the case? and this needs to be said. okay. santa is tasked with delivering toys to every house in the world in one night. okay. what isn't he? a dentist.
9:04 pm
okay. in fact, he's self-employed. he doesn't have dental himself. okay. but now, in addition to covering the whole entire world in one night, he's got to scream and mrs. claus to go bang out some molars. i think it's selfish. i think if you talk about the chipmunks, it emphasizes the need to be good. because what do they say? we've been good. but we can't last. hurry christmas, hurry fast. and what do they want as gifts? one guy wants a plane that loops the loop pretty easy. the other one wants a hula-hoop. it's 1976. who doesn't have one? the point is, if you were trying to teach your kids at christmas time the true meaning of the season, it's about being selfless. it's not all i want. you know, that's the whole say all i want. the chipmunks are singing about christmas in its entirety. okay. the kid is singing about himself. that is an instagram error song of narcissism, destructive. and if you like it, admit you hate christmas because that's what's happening. oh. oh, wow.
9:05 pm
oh, audience. who gave the better argument? would you say it's jimmy? oh, raymond. jimmy. there it is. there it is. take that, chipmunks. you're going to have to explain. you're going to have to play pope on this and rule as a nature wood person that really is infallible. you are right, raymond. i am the host of the show, and i get to decide who the winner is. and i'll tell you right now, i was on the fence. but, jimmy, you actually did make a good case for raymond. so you helped him out, raymond. oh, yeah. lots of good cheer here, guys. all right. tonight's winners get more than just a spot on the nice list. they can win $1,000 for the charity of their choice. bring the ginormous chair. come on. out. out.
9:06 pm
so the winner■s charity gets $1,000, and the losers take home a bag of coal. janice? yes. tell us who the red team is playing for. we are playing for team rubicon an organization. that is very near and dear to my heart. during hurricane harvey several years ago, i went out to meet team rubicon. they're a bunch of veterans and first responders that after their service decide that they want to help in disaster areas. so this is a wonderful, worthwhile cause, bringing together first responders who i love. my husband's a firefighter and the weather, which of course i helped to predict. kacie, what about green team? we are playing for tunnels to towers, another great organization on fox all the time, giving back to those who serve our country, who keep this beautiful land free and safe.
9:07 pm
so we thank them for that. okay, here we go. kacie and todd, it is go time. you feeling ready? i think so. okay, here we go. the day after thanksgiving is an american tradition. it's called black friday. do you love it or do you hate it? kacie, you are up first. why should we love black friday? next. todd, katherine. what the, i guess, war on black friday is. it's the softening of america. you're making america weak. they are scared. they are hidden in their basements, on their keyboards, banging away. you're too afraid to leave your home. you're afraid of your countrymen. you think somebody is going to push you out of the way? this is like the eminem song. your palms are sweaty, your knees are weak, your arms are heavy. if you are afraid to storm the gates of wal-mart,
9:08 pm
how can i ever take into consideration that maybe if there's a zombie apocalypse, you are going to stand your ground? you're afraid of your countrymen. you want that flashy so badly, but you won't go get it. you're going to stay home. you're going to banging away on your keyboard. it's going to come to your house in 3 to 5 business days. then you're going to mosey out when none of your neighbors are around to snatch it. then you're going to call somebody to mount it. okay. keep black friday alive. keep competition in america. thank you. yeah. oh, yes. todd, that was pretty strong. you ready? i'm ready. yeah. tell us why black friday is a no go boom. do it. all right. first off, i'd like to thank the tom for the question. i'd like to thank the audience for being here. i think it's important to remember that when i'm attacked for my conservative principles, it is one ronald reagan's conservative principles
9:09 pm
that led our nation down the path of prosperity. and it was one ronald reagan who decided that in order for our nation to prosper, we needed to eliminate wasteful spending. ladies and gentlemen, there is no bigger day of wasteful spending than one black friday. people, please clap. and it is these conservative ideals of eliminating black friday that i will bring to you, the american people. if i'm elected, the 47th president. i was told this was a presidential debate. on day one, i will sign an executive action eliminating black friday. the sales aren't really that good. they're fake. and don't we want the workers to spend thanksgiving at home with their families? yes we do u s a usa. usa. usa. thank you very much. the debates are done. i have the power. i feel like saint nick himself. i have made my list. i've checked it twice. and i'll tell you in this tough economy, i got to go
9:10 pm
with todd piro's argument. people are hurting. all right. final debate in round one. michael versus janice, are you ready? oh, last year we asked america in a poll is die hard a christmas movie. america was split right down the middle. since it was so close. let's fight it out here. michael, tell us why die hard is, in fact, not a christmas movie. all right. thank you, tom. thank you. audience die hard is a great movie. we all love die hard naktomi plaza. come on. i'll come out to the coast. i'll have a few drinks. it's not a christmas movie. here's what you're confusing it with. because christmas is in the background. christmas? it's wintertime in l.a.. that's it. you know what?
9:11 pm
other movies have christmas happening in the background. batman returns. is that a christmas movie? does michael keaton come out and go on, santa? no, he doesn't. you know what other film famously had christmas in the background? lethal weapon. that's not a christmas movie. it's not. and i'll leave you with this. please. no talking, rambo. oh, come on. is rambo a christmas movie? no more war hero movie. woo! woo! woo! woo! woo! i rest my case. michael loftus. wow. janice, convince us. michael is on the wrong side of history. go ahead. you ready? who has an advent calendar? i do. oh, that would be the die hard advent calendar. hans gruber falling from 24 floors right here. none of the other movies he suggested has its own advent calendar.
9:12 pm
but i will also say this movie is all about christmas. it takes place on christmas eve for 12 hours. he comes home just to see his family for christmas. his wife's name is holly. okay. there are presents in this movie. there are christmas carols in this movie. it snows at the end of this movie. and yes, there is even santa in the form of a dead terrorist at the end of this movie. the writer of this movie has said that it is indeed a christmas movie, and so has the director. die hard is indeed a christmas movie. i told myself i wasn't going to cry. the fact that we're having this debate means it's not a christmas movie. it identifies as a christmas movie. in this day and age,
9:13 pm
if you identify as a christmas movie, you're a christmas movie. thank you. that puts it over the top. why did go? we are just getting started here, folks. the epic battles continue with some big surprises after this. the time is now. okay, here we go. it's your last chance to sign up during fox nation's once a year sale. this offer won't last, and it's your chance to start streaming our biggest show. i'm rob lowe. and this is liberty or death. boston tea party with the biggest stars. perfect. it's just perfect. and your fox favorites every day. start streaming fox nation now for just $19.99 a year. your last chance to lock in our exclusive offer. sign up today.

9:18 pm
so hold on to your santa hat. this could get messy, todd and raymond, are you ready? we are. let's go. all right. always wear suits. the question is christmas lawn inflatables. are they terrific or are they tacky? todd, you will argue for inflatables, but stay where you are. elves, bring in the first distraction, please. oh, yes. all right. while you argue, todd, you're going to have to untangle this string of christmas lights. how well, you do will be factored into my verdict. are you ready, tom? take it away, todd. first, tom, i'd like to thank you for that question. and i'd also like to thank the audience for being here. i'm reminded of another statesman of the eighties, one whose memory i honor here today with this beautiful sweater. one clark w griswold. it was clark griswold who brought lawn ornaments into the public conscience
9:19 pm
in 1989 by lining his lawn with said lawn ornament. it was clark griswold who is skewed the protestations of his yuppie neighbors, margo and todd, and carried on with the tradition that he determined he was going to put out there for his family. it was clark griswold who reminded us that christmas spirit cannot be confined merely to one's inside of their house. yes, that's right. but it must be shared, forced down the throat, if you will, of your entire neighborhood for a month, if not longer. amen. so be like clark griswold this holiday season. get an industrial strength. air pump and make your lawn the jersey- licious lawn that it yearns to be. ladies and gentlemen, put out a lawn ornament this year and make america and christmas great again. yeah. yes. yes.
9:20 pm
all right. okay. let's put the lights up on the tape. that's good. not bad. not bad, pyromania. okay. okay, stop. time has expired. i'm sorry. all right. sorry. this is okay, raymond. you are against lawn inflatables. i am. go ahead. i'm against lawn inflatables for many reasons. first of all, this is a decoration. cop out on inflatables. and i want to pick up on something todd was saying because it's so important. cramming decorations down your neighbors throats. no one wants that. the other thing is, anybody who's had an inflatable on the lawn will tell you and i can attest to this, when they start to deflate, when the compressor dies, you're there with a bike pump trying to get the trash bag on your front lawn to blow. and it doesn't work. it's a nuisance. it's an outrage. and look, i undid all the lights. i'll end with this. jesus did not come so you could pollute your front lawn with snoopy and a dragon
9:21 pm
from some movie we never heard of. i rest my case. tom, i'm going to just inspect the the lights pretty quickly. inspect the lights pretty quick. that was very good. very good. oh, you even have to inspect this stuff. so we did it. very neat. it was done. all right. you know, i was watching todd, and i was informed by my producers that raymond did a little cheating in his oh, oh, oh, cheating on the wire with no way. now, tom, i'm going to protest and i'll bring laura ingraham in to make the argument for you. all right. there were no rules. there we go. here we go. hold this jacket. oh, my gosh. anyway, i like this case. it's fighting. help me with the jacket, tom. here we go. i'll just say this. there were no rules that stipulated when we could begin touching the lights. am i right? oh, no, no. maybe the royal wants to live in a society without rules.
9:22 pm
if i■m elected your president... there were no rules. okay, you know what? my producers informed me that. yes, raymond did a little prep work and a little bit of what you might call cheating while raymond was talking. todd also adjusted his lights like, oh, there was cheating on both sides the argument goes with raymond. yes. well done. thank you. thank you. yeah. next up, it's michael versus jimmy. guys, here's a question that is going to keep you up at night. who do you save from a burning building? frosty or rudolph? jimmy, easy. jimmy, you're going to go first, and you're going to tell us why frosty gets the lifeline. but, oh, dear. to keep things interesting, elves bring in the next distraction. yay! wow. while you plead your case oh, you must decorate this gingerbread house.
9:23 pm
oh, dear. okay. neatness counts. don't touch. don't you touch that gingerbread house until the debate begins. jimmy, you have the floor. okay, really quickly. i just want to correct you that it's frosty the snow person. oh, i see. and we're all canceled. but for my money, there's no debate here. i just want to make sure this is properly opened. excuse me. i'll make a nice, fine gingerbread house. there's no debate here. and this is why, ok. rudolph can fly. yes. so he should be saving you. oh, my. the fact that he's not saving you makes rudolph a bit of an a-hole. i'm not going to lie. i'm not to lie. okay. there's that frosty would die. it■s over. we just won. frosty would die. frosty would die purely from exposure to the heat. do you understand? but understand for rudolph, okay, he would fly away. but even. even even if rudolph could not fly away. okay. there's still no point in saying to help.
9:24 pm
oh, but just stick with me. even if rudolph could fly away, there's still no point in saving him. why? because that bright red, shiny nose means every hunter in the woods is going to spot him anyway. okay. that's why they didn't make a sequel. he got shot in the opening scene when he got back to the woods. it would have been called rudolph the red-nosed venison it would've been called. frosty, you put a hat on him. he wishes strangers a happy birthday. this is a good man. he lets kids sleigh ride on his back. rudolph just has a vendetta against some bully reindeers who actually made him better at leading a sleigh. if anything, he's an ingrate. he deserves to die. wow. hi. okay, take a look at that. that is not a bad look. it was good. it's good. it's gingerbread house. okay, michael, you are arguing for saving rudolph. go ahead. now, some of you may think, wow, mike's talking slow
9:25 pm
just to give his teammates time to decorate the house. wow. no, that's just my cadence for this part of the program. he would let rudolph die not knowing. yes, sure, rudolph can fly, but not if he's chained to a radiator as he is in this scenario, we were told. it's what i made up. now, frosty the snowman. does santa need frosty? i think santa needs rudolph, who kind of guides the sleigh. i never remember santa saying, where■s frosty? where■s frosty? but frosty is a creep and a lunatic. okay, that cartoon scares the crap out of little kids because we see him melt and come back to life. frosty the snowman who shows up, doesn't want to hang out with adults. at least rudolph hangs out with people like grown ups and other reindeer.
9:26 pm
frosty just wants to hang out with little kids. what's up with that? oh, there it is, michael loftis. and let's take it. let's put all that beautiful. you know, that is down to fall. it may come down to the green team. clearly has a better gingerbread house, but, you know, michael didn't participate at all. red team gets. oh, wow. oh, yeah. oh, here's the cliffhanger. our final matchup, janice versus kacie. you two better be on your a-game because this is a doozy of a distraction waiting for you after the break.

9:33 pm
i'm tired. i only look like this because we have highly trained makeup people here at fox. i don't have the energy or the strength to find matching outfits. come up with a slogan. god forbid, i said merry christmas to the happy holidays, cousin. and then the whole family reunion is ruined. well, let's go back to the economy. who can afford these christmas cards? these a.i. bots are taking people's jobs to make these christmas cards. i have to pay for postage. it's very expensive and i don't want to do it. we come back, live from hunter biden's house. that■s the best joke of all. janice, tell us mass mailings are great. i have to do this too? are you ready, america? you know who else? you know who else is ready?
9:34 pm
you know who else is ready, todd and i. we're not walking away. we're going to be in the blizzard. you■re doing this with me? they■re weathering the storm. all right, kacie, you just had a baby. there is no way that you are not going and booking your studio time and getting your outfits for your little baby and going to the studio and paying good money so that you can give out christmas cards to everyone in your family and those that you don't particularly like. i have brought more props i have every christmas card than i have ever made since my children were born. blood, sweat, tears went into this writing on the back, letting grandma know what happened during the school year. every single one. and here are my babies right there. yes. we support industries here. we have to support the photographers who are also taking these pictures and the printing companies.
9:35 pm
