Barguments, arguments, arguments, arguments, arguments, arguments, arguments, arguments, let's go, arguments.

Nigel (0:17)

Hello.

Happy Friday, everybody. My name is Nigel. Jason Hammer right over there with a very special guest on the hotline.

Jason Hammer (0:26)

From the Windy City, sweet home, Chicago radio legend, Dan Bass Levy. How are you, my friend?

Dan Bass Levy (0:36)

Hello, hello, hello.

Jason Hammer (0:39)

Man, tell us about Barguments. It seems like the page, the podcast is blowing up. I feel like I'm one of those guys that can say I knew the band before they became popular.

Allison (0:50)

Tell us about it.

Dan Bass Levy (0:52)

Well, Facebook, overall, or Facebook, like I created Facebook, Barguments is a concept which you do with all your friends, whether you're at a barbershop, barbecue, a bar, or anywhere that you and your friends will argue the fun stuff. Who would, what would you rather? Greatest of all times, Mount Rushmore's. I made a podcast out of it. A darn good listen, so download it anywhere you get your podcast.

Fun, fun YouTube videos as well. And like you mentioned, a really good Facebook group that is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And I like to come on here on Fridays and lob a bargain in your way. Love it.

Jason Hammer (1:28)

Lob away, my friend. What do we got?

Dan Bass Levy (1:31)

Gentlemen and lady, the planet has five minutes left of existence. You're in charge of the final song that gets played worldwide.

What do you pick?

Jason Hammer (1:43)

So we're getting ready for Armageddon here. There's only five minutes left until the planet explodes or does whatever.

Dan Bass Levy (1:51)

And you get to press a button and play that final song that the world gets to hear.

Jason Hammer (1:58)

All right, Bass, what do you got?

Dan Bass Levy (2:00)

I like just for the pure humor of it.

Jason Hammer (2:33)

I remember the Titans when Sunshine Ronnie Bass got in there and sort of laying dudes out throwing lasers around. Sure.

Dan Bass Levy (2:41)

Fair point, fair point.

Jason Hammer (2:43)

Nobody thought this blonde-haired pretty boy could play, and he goes in there and kind of up and under as a defender and starts throwing the ball around, and it's like, okay, all right.

Dan Bass Levy (2:53)

There you go. There you go. Yes, yes, yes. I'm glad that'll be the last thought you have when you see that giant boulder heading all of our way.

Jason Hammer (3:02)

Yeah, it's not my wife. It's not my kids. It's not my god. It's sunshine Ronnie Bass.

Nigel (3:06)

You guys remember that movie? Anybody remember that movie?

Jason Hammer (3:11)

Miss Allison, what do you got?

Allison (3:13)

I went with one that I thought would be a good sing along and a little tongue in cheek. I mean, it was it's really the last five minutes of the world. So it's really the closing time for us all.

Nigel (3:23)

Closing time. This was so huge back in the day.

Dan Bass Levy (3:33)

Yes.

Allison (3:34)

The bar is closing, everybody, forever.

Dan Bass Levy (3:37)

It's such a sad song. When you hear it at the bar, you're like, oh, wait, did I stay this long?

Jason Hammer (3:43)

Now, Bass, did you ever hear that that song was not about closing at a bar? It's about the youth, this guy's youth of his life closing down because he just had a baby and it's time to be mature now.

Dan Bass Levy (3:58)

I heard that is, but then I'm like, turn on the lights out. I'm like, there's bar in there. Come on. I know you want to say it's about something else, but we all know what that should we ask bass?

Nigel (4:08)

Should we ask bass just what we were talking about yesterday? What a certain song means? I bet he knows just a side note. Just real quick. I know we're doing barguments, but Hammer asked me this question on the air yesterday, bass. I had no idea what turning Japanese, I'm really turning Japanese. I really think so.

Dan Bass Levy (4:27)

I don't know what it is. I honestly don't.

Nigel (4:30)

Oh, OK, thank you.

Thank you. There's a hidden dirty meaning to it. We won't get to it right now. I just wanted to confirm.

Jason Hammer (4:39)

Well, I mean, you don't I mean, you can keep it clean. It's treating your body like an amusement park. You have to use a Seinfeld reference. That's what turning Japanese is about.
