Podcasts about Scrooge

A bunch of people go round the pubs and one of them is dressed as a horse and they sing a poem...  and I'm not making it up.Next up Bob Baker has a look at what us Brits call 'taps' and those Yanks call 'faucets' in Do You Hear What I Hear.After the joke it's this episodes version of A Christmas Carol.  It's called Ebbie and it's a modern day (90s) take with a female Scrooge. It's actually alright. You can watch it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRm5gX6CXsThen Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and he looks at some places here in the UK that (to my shame) I wasn't aware of.Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Then it's The Quiz.

Heaven on Earth-Grandpa Bill's Archival Journey: Revisiting 3 Years of Life's Game & Plotting Your Own Masterpiece! Grandpa Bill, has got a warm feeling in my heart as I sit down to share some exciting news. Grandpa Bill is doing something truly special over here, and I want our cherished community to be a big part of it!For the past three years, whether you've been tuning in to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast or watching our insightful videos on my YouTube Channel, BillHolt@billholt8792, you've been on a journey with me. A journey through the grand board game of life, exploring holistic well-being, practical wisdom, and the challenges and triumphs that make us all stronger. We've talked about everything from nurturing your inner peace to building resilient communities, all with a focus on harmony and growth.And now? We're taking a trip back in time! We're cracking open the archives and revisiting some of our very first shows, some of the most popular discussions, and even some hidden gems you might have missed. It's a grand recap of three years of shared learning and community growth!What strikes me most, as I go through these old recordings and visuals, isn't just the information we shared, but the incredible community that has blossomed around us. Your questions, your stories, your willingness to learn and to support one another – that's the real treasure here.For our aspiring authors out there, like GB, crafting 'The Greater Portland Crab Caper,' these archives aren't just old episodes; they're levels in the game of life that can inspire My novel's plot! Think about Codman Fisher and Carlton Crabbe – those rival industries, the sea vegetation, the cyber-attacks in 2025 – doesn't it all echo the kinds of challenges and resolutions we've explored in our discussions over the years?We've talked about the human nature that drives ambition (think of our 'Mr. Magoo as Scrooge' mnemonic – how tunnel vision or old habits can impact others, or how collective spirit can bring about change). This mnemonic, for instance, can be a powerful lens for placing character motivations and community impacts right into the Portland memory palaces you're building for our book! The theme of 'communally expansion' is at the very heart of both our shows and, I believe, the very soul of My novel.So, I invite you to join me in this nostalgic journey. Whether you prefer to listen to the thoughtful discussions on the podcast or see the insights come to life on YouTube, there's something for everyone. And as you dive into these archives, let's keep that spirit of community conversation thriving:How has our shared journey through holistic life lessons, over these past three years, fostered a stronger community bond for you, or perhaps given you an idea for a 'plot point' in your own life or story?And looking forward, what new community-driven topics or challenges would you love to see us explore together on the show, drawing inspiration from both real life and the unfolding narratives we create?Your input truly helps us to grow and ensure we're serving your needs. So, head on over to the podcast or the YouTube channel, take a listen or a watch, and then share your reflections in the comments or on social media. Let's keep that spirit of 'communally expansion' thriving, both in our lives and in the stories we tell! #GrandpaBill, #LifeLessons, #HumanHolistic, #CommunityWisdom, #MindGame, #NovelWriting, #CrabCaper, #PlottingYourMasterpiece, #MrMagooScrooge, #CommunallyExpand, #MemoryPalace, #AuthorLife, #BHSALESHolisticHealingHour, #ArchivalInsights, #Storyboarding, #HumanJourney, #LifeAsAGame, #PortlandStories, #WellnessJourney,

Deck the halls with chaos, cutaways, and cranberry sauce! This week, Thom and Anthony dive deep into five more uproarious Family Guy Christmas episodes, from Dickensian parodies to Meg's mall-Santa trauma and Lois's Grinch-worthy meltdowns. With Julia taking a festive hiatus, the guys hold down the fort with unfiltered banter, personal holiday horror stories (bee infestations! Disney World mishaps!), and their signature spicy takes. Inside this episode:

The artist behind a new illustrated version of "A Christmas Carol," titled Scrooge is on the show the week to talk about the project, funding now on Zoop!

Si parla (anche) di: Senza Rete, Dupes, Scrooge, Monumenti aperti. Ma non solo... 

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts The Beat on Monday, May 5th, and reports on the economy and rule of law under the second Trump administration, as well as RFK Jr.'s recent actions with respect to the Department of Health and Human Services. Caleb Silver, Eugene Robinson, Joyce Vance, and R.J. Cutler join.

Trump 2.0 is showing so little concern for his political standing that even Fox made primetime room for Karl Rove to vent about how he's failing at the fundamentals. Our aspiring Gaddafi doesn't care that tariffs aren't popular or that he sounds like Mr. Scrooge when he says kids should have fewer toys. And while belt-tightening is good enough for average Americans, he's throwing himself a giant, ostentatious military parade that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Plus, conservatives in the Anglosphere take another hit, this time down under—and thumbs-up for Maine Gov. Janet Mills, thumbs-down for Gretchen Whitmer.  Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Today's "Morning Shots" Jonathan's recent newsletter on Gretchen Whitmer The Atlantic's recent interview with Trump (gifted)

Tonight on The Last Word: Americans sour on Donald Trump's tariffs and his handling of the economy. Also, the Trump tariff chaos upends a Canadian election. Plus, Trump fails to deliver his promised end to Vladimir Putin's war. And Democrats look to campaign on the chaos of Trump's first 100 days in office. Catherine Rampell, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Amb. Michael McFaul, and Rep. Angie Craig join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Gezien Disney geen echte paasverhalen heeft verfilmd, springen we vooruit naar de mooiste tijd van het jaar. Comedian en tv-maker Lukas Lelie heeft een haast ongezonde passie voor ‘A Christmas Carol' van de Britse schrijver Charles Dickens. (Passie, Matteüspassie, Mattheuseffect: zo wordt het toch de meest logische paasspecial.) Na een zware tegenslag rond kerst vorig jaar, besloot hij te investeren in een eigenaardige collectie: dvd's van verfilmingen van zijn favoriete kerstverhaal. In de verzameling versies van onder meer Barbie, The Flintstones en Doctor Who, allicht het gevolg van het publieke domein. Maar dus ook drie van Disney: ‘A Christmas Carol' (2009) met Jim Carrey als Ebenezer Scrooge, ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992) met Michael Caine als Scrooge en ‘Mickey's Christmas Carol' (1983) met Scrooge McDuck als… Scrooge. We hebben het over de vergane glorie van motion capture, tijdreizen in de films van Robert Zemeckis en een vreemde bijsluiter in een educatieve Disney-dvd. We weiden uit over Russische rip-offs, een goedkope versie met Kate Winslet en een geniale met Will Ferrell en Ryan Reynolds. We beloven elkaar om elkaars graf te bezoeken, afhankelijk van wie eerst komt te gaan. Lukas getuigt ook over zijn andere verslaving (cola zero), praat over het genie Dikkie Dik en doet twee belangwekkende oproepen. (Let op: de meest bangmakende content in deze afleveringen wordt in de post-credit volwaardig geduid door een expert.)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe that we're already less than a week out from Easter? We sure can't! This year is flying!  This week, Julia and Anthony are sans Thom and - after catching up on recent movie releases - dive into the 2024 holiday-slasher film, "The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge". Is this one of those B-movie schlockfests that's so bad it's good, à la "The Mean One"? Or is this merely a bad Lifetime movie of the week dressed up like a Christmas horror film? You'll just have to tune in to find out! So settle back, relax, and enjoy this fun and festive episode, which is the perfect way to kickstart your week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

Eric rages against the heat, and old people picking bread. Plus, like Scrooge, he learns the error of his ways, and changes.

The crew dives face-first into the deep end of personal grooming—specifically, why Kid's contemplating taking a weed whacker to his gooch while the gang debates if a hairy sweater is a fashion statement or a cry for help.  They pivot to Sex and the City hot takes, probably roasting Carrie's shoe obsession while sipping whiskey, then splash into the wet-and-wild world of squirting—because nothing says “classy podcast” like a debate about bedroom hydraulics and knocking pictures off the wall.  St. Patty's Day rolls in with tales of drunken sexcapades so sloppy they end with someone passing out in a bar bathroom, face-down in a puddle of Guinness and regret. The gang confesses to stumbling out after one too many, puking in alleys, tipping like Scrooge on a bad day, and cackling at their buddies' expense—because if you can't mock your friends, who can you mock? Deal with it, snowflakes. Oh, and plot twist: El Pres used to shake it as a stripper while his mom a strip empire—talk about a family business with extra sparkle!  The crew plays the age-difference game, pondering the perfect dating age gap: too young and you're babysitting, too old and you're dodging denture kisses. They cap it off with a fiery rant about real friends—those glorious bastards who call you out on your screw-ups versus the spineless schmucks who just nod and smile while you crash and burn. Tune in, laugh hard, and Go Deep, you magnificent fucktards.

Ezekiel | If These Walls | Pastor Chris Heller Ezekiel 8 : 1-11 : 25 This week we will continue our Ezekiel series as he is called up by God in a vision that takes him through the temple. God shows Ezekiel in a scene that is reminiscent of something like Scrooge in the Christmas Carol, of what is going on behind closed doors. Israel's sacrilegious sin is being seen by God, and he exposes it to Ezekiel to confront.  Join us as we gain insight into the God who sees everything, and how we can best live in light of that truth.

John's currently penning something which will change global culture. But what if we lift the bonnet of his genius? That is what we find out on today's show.For in that bonce is a V8 plucking words from the ether with such vim and vigour, and combining those words to make phrases, clauses and sentences. Word constructs which then combine to make reflections and musings that will make people go “huh, that's profound” like nothing before.The ease with which John hammers out words at such a pace would make Jilly Cooper, professional blush causer, blush. Pages churned out with an efficiency that if this were Bob Cratchit doing office based tasks then Scrooge would offer him a raise.Elsewhere, there is combat over the combativeness of features and where the blame for that lies, whilst once again Elis is unreasonably put under time pressure to think of things. Plus, have you ever just snogged someone constantly for an hour?If you'd like to pen your own novellas (emails / texts) then get in touch through elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

it's a wild ride of mixology, memorable moments, and celebrity encounters! Tom and his longtime friend Mike share hilarious stories from their night out, including a visit to the swanky bar Scarlet—owned by none other than Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti from The Sopranos). Plus: Tom gets a new toilet seat and shares the hilarity behind the upgrade. Tom has a great time but turns into a Scrooge watching A Christmas Carol at Long Island's Argyle Theatre. A cautionary tale about the scam ticket website GoTickets.com and how to avoid getting ripped off.  

Spencer Klavan, author of “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” issues a powerful call to action for Christians in America: stop refuting, start asserting. Meaning, Christians no longer need to refute The Left's materialist idea that humans are merely atomic matter. Instead, we must assert that we believe in something greater: a God-given spirit that enriches our lives. The question is, how do we unlock the fruits of that spirit? Spencer and I hope to shed some light on this question. - - -  Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Get up to 4 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/klavan

This Christmas, the cold streets of Victorian London collide with the fiery depths of Hell in a chilling reimagining of a classic tale. Jacob Marley, the tormented ghost doomed to carry the chains of his earthly sins, is summoned by a sinister demon to deliver a haunting message to his former partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. But as Marley confronts the sins of his past, he discovers that redemption is not within his grasp—and that Hell's games are far crueler than he could have ever imagined. A story of despair, darkness, and the twisted contrast between holiday joy and eternal torment, "The Christmas Misadventure of Marley's Ghost" reveals the untold side of Scrooge's haunting—a side where hope is fleeting, and salvation is nothing more than a cruel joke. This is not the feel-good Christmas story you thought you knew.

“If you grow up with it, religion is real until you realize it is also imagined. And after a period of disenchantment or even depression that associates imagination with lies, you might then sense that the imagined part was also real, but because it's imagined, you know you can change it.” Matthew reflects on how Santa becomes more real in the home after the kids know he's just a story, but a story of unbridled love and causeless generosity they can now participate in telling.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas with a passion. To him, it's all a waste of time and money. But when he's visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, the equally greedy Jacob Marley, Scrooge begins to understand the error of his ways.

The Ghost of Christmas Past visits Scrooge and takes him back to his own childhood. He's reminded that he was shown kindness as a young man, and had even been in love, before his greed took over.

The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge how Christmas should be celebrated – with joy and giving, even when you are poor, like Scrooge's own kindly clerk Bob Cratchit.

The Ghost of Christmas Future reveals the appalling events that will happen if Scrooge doesn't become a kinder man. Tiny Tim will die, and so will Scrooge, though no one will mourn him. Scrooge begs the Ghost for a chance to put things right.

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

This week, the guys team up for an atheist review of The Gospel According to Scrooge, in which Dickens' classic tale of redemption gets a lot more Jesus crammed into its margins. On stage.
