With me, Molly. Again, that's smartypass.org. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Now, on with the show. From the brains behind brainson, it's Smash Boom Best. The show for people with big opinions. Hi, I'm Molly Blum, and this is Smash Boom Best. The show where we take two things, smash them together, and ask you to decide which one

is best. Today is a snacky Smackdown, peanuts versus seaweed. One grows underground, and pairs perfectly with jelly and chocolate.

“The other is from the sea, and is key in soups and sushi.”

Which one will be crowned the champion of chomp? Let's find out. I'm here to give him shell for team peanuts, is actress, and forever a go host, Joy. Don't look. I'm here to crack open the competition because I'm going to crack it wide open.

Yeah, you are. And sounding off for Team seaweed is actor and improviser, Alse Bruno. Kelp, seaweed is so powerful. It's going to un-crack those peanuts. Yeah.

And judging this mouthwatering melee is Axel from Austin, Texas, Axel likes computer programming. He's working on making a video game about a post-apocalyptic society, and he plays the basic guitar. Welcome, Axel. Hello.

So, Axel, tell me about your computer programming. What are you learning right now? Well, my program is Python-based, and I'm still working on it, but it's coming along really nicely. I'm implanting music for the first time in one of my games, which is a bit challenging to

make work because each song takes up a lot of stories and so does the software to play those

songs in the game, but it always turns out really well.

That's awesome.

“Yeah, it seems like music is really important to video games, right?”

Yeah. How do you pick what music goes where? It's just, um, whatever I find that's cool on SoundCloud pretty much. Oh, nice. So, your video game, what is sort of the goal as a player?

I serve high of the events that take place around you. Okay. What kind of events are happening? Um, I don't know, it's like supposed to be a apocalyptic thing. I got the idea for it when I watched the 1957 movie "Pads of Glory" by Stanley Kubrick.

It's about the first World War, and the Grammy sort of aesthetic really stuck with me. And it inspired me to make a game loosely based on visuals and stuff like that. You can't win. The character always ends up losing his battles personally and externally. Yeah. Oh, wow.

Okay. Does it take place in that sort of World War I era? No, it's in the future. Oh, okay, but it kind of has that vibe from that movie. Yeah.

Very cool. So what advice do you have for our debaters today? To judge how good your argument is, do what you think is best. Hmm. Very nice.

From Stanley Kubrick too. Yeah. I would probably be said that first.

Excellent advice, Axel.

“And when someone's trying to convince you something, what do you find is really convincing to you?”

Knowledge about the topic. Extensive knowledge. Hmm. Okay. [laughter]

I know we're just talking about peanut butter. [laughter] Which taste treat will try off today?

But first here are the rules of the game.

Every debate consists of four rounds, the declaration of greatness, the micro round, the sneak attack, and the final six. After each round, our judge Axel will award points to the team that impresses him the most,

“but he'll keep his decisions top secret until the end of the debate.”

Listeners, we want you to judge too. Mark down your points as you listen. At the end of the show, head to our website smashboom.org and vote for whichever team you think one. Okay.

Joy. Alse. And Axel. Are you ready? I'm ready.

As they say in seaweed, vote. Then it's time for the declaration of greatness. In this round, our debate are to present a well-crafted immersive argument in favor of their side. Then they'll each have 30 seconds to rebut their opponent's statements.

We've whipped a coin and Alse, your up first.

Give us a deep dive on seaweed. I need to start by apologizing. Joy, Dolo, and I have been friends for years.

“In fact, she's one of my favorite people, and that's why I have to apologize to her.”

She's representing peanuts in today's battle, and yeah, I love peanuts. Peanut butter? Right on. Peanut oil? Versatile.

But I'm so, so sorry that you have to go up against seaweed, because seaweed is a straight-up superhero of the plant world. Nate, the whole world. Hi, look, a hero. It's a bird.

No, it's a plane. Dude, look down, I'm pointing at the ocean. Oh, it's seaweed. seaweed is both delicious and nutritious.

Stuff made from seaweed is super useful, and this powerful plant can help battle climate

change. Meanwhile, peanuts? Well, they go great with jelly. seaweed is the name given to a whole group of plants that grow in lakes, rivers, and oceans. They get energy from the sun, even in deep waters with very low light.

Land plants, like peanuts, need to fight against gravity to grow. But seaweed just goes with the flow, literally. seaweed is made to move as water flows around it. Its flexibility is its strength. It bends and swayes, but doesn't break.

We could all learn from this geoliquatic friend. When things get tough, channel your inner seaweed. Eb and flow with life's challenges, and you'll live to sway another day. This strong flexibility is thanks to something in seaweed called hydrocoloids. This cool, gel-like stuff is used in food, skin care, medicine, toothpaste, and so much

more. If you see a product with the words "Alginate", "Caraginen" or "Ager", that's our pal, seaweed. But let's talk taste, because seaweed is also a culinary rock star. seaweed is a staple food all over. There's Nori, the crispy and versatile sheets of seaweed used in Japanese food like Onigiri,

a wonderful bunch of rice wrapped in Nori. In Korea, you hit a special seaweed soup called Mioka-guk on birthdays. In Wales, lava bread is a tasty seaweed puree. And in China, there's a savory fried seaweed dish called Tai Sai Hwashu Mi, which is served with peanuts as a favorite to peanuts.

Not only is seaweed super delicious, it's super healthy too. A recent study suggests seaweed is anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, immuno-modulatory, anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, UV protective, and neuroprotective. I feel like that's a good thing a food can do for you.

No? Peanuts? As if that weren't enough, seaweed can fight climate change. Researchers looked at seaweed farms and found that they were capturing carbon. That's great because when carbon goes up into the atmosphere, it makes our planet warmer.

More seaweed in the water equals less carbon in the air.

“So I'm sorry, Joy, that you have to go up against the tasty, healing, miraculous seaweed.”

It's not a fair fight. But I can't wait to eat some Thai side washing me with you afterwards. Wow, a globe-trotting heroic argument for our pal, seaweed, Axel, what's it out to you about Elsa's arguments? I really like the part where you talked about the positive health implications of seaweed,

I thought that was really cool. Very cool. All right, Joy, it is time for your rebuttal. You get 30 seconds to tell us why seaweed is all washed up, and your time starts.

Now, first of all, Elsa, how dare you use our friendship against me?

We have been friends for a long time, and I thought a lot of you up until this, just kidding. I love you so much. Also, your argument is flawed, okay? Okay, so how can, like, Peanuts fight against gravity?

“That's what they're supposed to do, they're plants.”

Naturally, somebody that's rarely fighting for global warming should know that. Plants naturally reach for the sun, they're not fighting gravity, they're growing, they're learning, they're transitioning, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing, they're changing. Molly, are you really counting so many seconds?

I really was, I'm so sorry. First things, first, I love you, Joy. I love you. Peanuts, I'm sorry, you had to lose this way, and gravity, see what's coming for you. Let it be known, let it be known, let it be known across the planet, but seaweed is coming

for gravity. We've got an appetite for arguments today, and snacks, but we're going to pause here and take a quick break, beat, right back. [music] Mass, smash, smash, smash, smash.

Back to our debate, we just heard all about that underwater marvel seaweed. Now it's Peanuts' turn, Joy, tell us how Peanuts pack a punch.

First of all, Peanuts are not actually nuts, they're legumes, like beans, but I am actually

nuts for Peanuts, Peanuts, Peanuts, Peanuts, whatever, I love them. See how many I have in my cabinet? I finished all my Peanuts last night, classic me, come on, let's catch the bus to go get more. While we wait for the bus, let me regal you with my love of these tiny treats.

For starters, the taste, earthy, salty warm, then there's the smell of the nut that you crack the shell. Reminds me of childhood.

“Oh, are we doing one of those going back in time, things?”

Okay. Picture me, I'm six and a half years old and adorable, living in Tennessee and eating roasted Peanuts in the shell with my family. Gee, Mom, these are the best snacks ever, and so fun to crack open, and the crunch, so loud.

Yes, joy, but shh, not in church. I've been hooked ever since. You could say Peanuts and me go together like ducks, and something that goes together with ducks. I don't know, I'm not a duck expert.

My point is, I'm always eating them.

In the morning, I drop Peanuts in my yogurt, in the afternoon, I spread Peanuts butter on my Peanuts butter and regular butter toast, trust me, it is so good. For snacks, I pop cocktail Peanuts, and at night, I have chocolatey Peanutty Reese's Candies.

“My clock is just a circle with 12 Peanuts on it, because guess what?”

It's always Peanut time. Yay, the bus is here. Out of Peanuts again, joy. Yep, bus driver, happens way too often. Oh, look, we're passing my favorite Ghanaian restaurant.

They serve a mind-blowing savory Peanuts stew. The Thai place next to it has the best Peanuts chicken stir fry. In fact, cultures all over eat Peanuts, from Israel to India, and Malaysia to Mexico. Peanuts are in soups, sweets, salads, and sandwiches. They're like the actor Pedro Pascal, because they're in everything.

And Peanuts are basically a super food. They're loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats, and unlike seaweed, they fill you up. Give me a pack of Peanuts, and I'm good for hours. Give me a pack of seaweed, and I'm good until literally the second I stop eating the bag

of seaweed. Geez, was that even a snack? It's like eating salt-flavored air. Oh, and Peanuts aren't just good for us. They're good for farmers too.

Peanuts plants are what's known as a nitrogen fixer. That means they put more nitrogen in soils, which helps other plants grow. Farmers often grow Peanuts to make their soil better for different crops later on. And Peanuts use much less water than tree nuts, like almonds or walnuts. Meanwhile, seaweed uses so much water, like oceans of it.

Here's your stop, Joey. Oh, great, thanks. This is Peanuts Palace.

“They've got raw Peanuts roasted Peanuts, salted, unsalted, brittle, butter, choose, chapsticks,”

everything. Hey, Joey. The usual? Yep. Attention.

Please bring one pound of Peanuts in the shell for doing nothing. That should last me, tell tomorrow, so to recap, Peanuts are power-packed little legumes. They're helpful for crops.

You can cook them a million ways, and you can eat them pretty much anywhere except church.

Oh, my watch. Guess what time it says? That's right. Now and forever, it's Peanut time, but Peanut time, but Peanut time, Peanut time, it's time for Peanuts.

Yeah. I didn't know we were going to keep that part. Hey, very punchy and positive argument, therefore, Peanuts, Axel, what's it out to you about Joey's declaration of greatness? I like the segment where you talked about your personal collection.

Connection. Sorry. Personal connection. Also personal collection. Yeah.

The Peanuts and how you used to eat them as a child in Tennessee. I also like the Pedro Pascal joke. Excellent. I'll say. Let's get 30 seconds to crack open team Peanuts' arguments and your time begins now.

Okay. First off, yes. Peanuts should not be moonlighting as legumes. I don't know who's spreading that lie, but Peanuts should get back in their land. Peanuts, they taste fine, but they lead to gut problems.

Okay.

“That's why you don't feed Peanuts to babies, I think, because it makes them nervous.”

And boiled Peanuts, talk about Peanuts collection. People, Peanuts are the worst thing to ever happen to water. It's a nasty, it's a nasty expense. No one should do it. Peanuts brittle.

That's a dentist nightmare. Hi. Peanuts don't belong on clocks. That's my last one.

Peanuts should never be near a clock.

What do you think the clock is made out of all the way? It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle.

It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's just a Peanuts brittle.

It's just a Peanuts brittle. It's a Peanuts brittle. That's the legume part of the Peanuts. Yeah. Okay, Axel, please afford some points.

We'd love you to give one point to the declaration of greatness that you liked best. And one point to the rubuttle, that one, you over. Have you made your decision? Yes. All right.

Join out.

Say, how are you feeling so far?

I feel good. I feel like not only is my argument strong and well-rounded, I also feel like our friendship is stronger. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. It's because of the debate. But, you know, if you win, that's cool, but if I win, that's probably right. Yeah. That's what you like.

I feel like the hydrocoloids of this friendship are improving the neuroplasticity of our ability to stay strong beyond the legume of disaster that is between us. I am loving this. Okay. It is time for a quick break.

Grab your stack of choice. And we'll be right back with more smash boom best. You're listening to state of debate, home to rage in rhetoric and awe in inspiring argumentation. Hello, to baby acts.

This is Taylor Lincoln here with my flower friend. Todd Douglas, we're standing in my garden waiting for my tulips to bloom. I just wish they'd put the pedal to the metal and bloom already. You know, this reminds me of a real stinker of a logical fallacy I heard the other day. Those are unbelievably bad arguments that don't stand up to scrutiny.

And this one was the hasty generalization fallacy. That's when you make a bold statement about a group or phenomenon without evidence to back it up. Here, let's listen.

“Is there anything better than a perfectly maintained garden Tony?”

I don't think there is, Jerry, as a matter of, ah, what's wrong? There's a bean your rose bushes, bees gobble up all the nectar flowers have to offer. Your garden is going to shribble up in a few days. What? Where'd you get that idea?

Bees need nectar. It's how they make honey. If we don't stop this infestation, they'll drain your flowers to death. Oh, wow, it sure sounds like Tony has a problem with bees. I'll say, but he didn't have any evidence to back up his claim.

There are bees dream nectar from flowers, but that doesn't hurt the flower. Yeah, bees actually pollinate flowers, which helps plants survive. Oh, my gosh, Taylor, look, the flowers are blooming.

We'll see you next time on.

Stay up to bed. You are listening to Sashman Best. I'm your host, Molly Bloom. And I'm your judge, Axel.

“And we love getting debate suggestions from our listeners like this one.”

Hi, my name is Paas, my debate idea is Brain vs Heart. Sounds like a good debate for the scarecrow and tin man from the Wizard of Oz. Absolutely. We'll check back in at the end of this episode to see which side Paas thinks she's winning. And now back to Peanuts versus seaweed.

Get ready for round two. It's the... Micro round. I'll say enjoy. You will each get three chances to make a micro argument back to play a cool fact.

I'll say started things off last round, so enjoy.

You get to go first this time.

Let's hear your first fact for Peanuts. Uh, Paige and President Peanuts. Okay, Peanuts haven't been President yet, but two different U.S. presidents have formed Peanuts. Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter. No President or even Vice President has ever formed seaweed.

Ever. All saying. Ever. Here's the thing. Farmers care about cute things and Peanuts are cute, but seaweed is the stuff of romance.

And one of the oldest known collections of Japanese poetry from the seventh century. Yes, fourteen hundred years ago. Is this beautiful verse? Yes. She is no more.

“Who's so was bent to mind like the bending seaweed?”

Or how about this one from the eleventh century? In the Bay of Naniwa, seaweed covered. Jim Stone rocks up here just so does my love for her. Aren't you swooning? I'm swooning.

What would a romantic verse dedicated to Peanuts even sound like? Peanuts, you are so funky. I guess it even rhymes. You know, it's okay. I know that like I love that we're leading with our heart with romance and also speaking

of things from a long time ago, Peanuts, you know, they're not, they go way, way, way back, right? So some researchers found evidence that suggests people in the Andy's mountains were farming Peanuts as far back as nine thousand years ago. So that makes Peanuts farms older than the pyramids.

Take that and see your way out. Oh, oh. Okay. Well, you know. What the Andy's mountains people would like to see is the world be the change they want

to be. And people say that a lot, but seaweed is the change. There's a, there's a, there's a person named Vincent Dumisell who sees a coming seaweed revolution. He co-authored the seaweed manifesto, which outlines the way that seaweed can be harnessed

to address global problems including, but not limited to hunger, climate change, and renewable energy. Take that, Andy's mountains. You're welcome. And his mountains.

The Andy's mountains above water, let's not forget, Peanuts, you know, aren't just for eating. I mean, we've talked about several uses of seaweed in so many ways, but Peanuts are also very malleable, if you will. And so in the early 1900s, Dr. George Washington Carver found over 300 uses for Peanuts.

Today, Peanuts oil is used as a lubricant for engines. The shells can be made into particle boards or clocks, as I had said earlier. Some researchers are making earth-friendly plastics out of them that goes also with your global warming argument. And you can use them as little stones to throw at your lovers window to wake them up,

so you can recite Peanuts love poetry to them, like, like, "Romeo and Juliet." Like, not, not, "We're for earth, though." He not, "Arthau, whilst in the wind blowing against the crack of dawn, name." Shall I say name? Shall I say, I hear you.

Shall. You see what I did that? Well, that could keep going for a while.

“We shall remember that in the 1800s, no offense to George Washington Carver, but before”

George Washington Carver was carving, in the 1800s, women living in Victorian England were swept up in a seaweed craze. These seaweed lovers or all-gologists, as they were called, would go foraging on the coast for different kinds of seaweed and catalog them in scrapbooks. The hunt for these sea flowers allowed women to cast aside their restrictive clothing and put

on practical outfits for seaweed hunting and spend time amongst the waves and wildlife.

Okay, incredible facts all around romantic, poetic, so many facets there to consider.

Axel, what stood out to you about these facts? I like it how Peanuts countered seaweed's global warming point a little bit.

I like the part about the poetry that was written a really long time ago about seaweed

“and just shows how deep the culture impact is.”

Very true.

All right, amazing facts all around, but, Axel, only one team can get.

At a point, the criteria are totally subjective and totally up to you. Please award your point, but don't tell us what's going to. Have you made your decision? Yes. Fantastic.

Hold tight. We'll be right back with more debate after this. Want smash boom best without the ad breaks? Join Smarty Pass and get an ad free feed of this and all the other brains on universe shows.

Plus you'll get to do virtual hangs with me and the crew and discounts on merch. Sign up at brainson.org. Thanks. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. We're back, and it's time for our third round, the super stealthy. This is our improvised round where the banners have to respond to a challenge on the spot.

“Your challenge is called "Top of the hour."”

Pretend you are a local newscaster and you have a story about your side. It could be a quick report of some breaking news, a human interest story. Maybe a weather report, whatever you want, it's up to you. You could play multiple characters. You could play one character.

All right, and maybe bonus points if you can do a little intro music for the show. I don't know. We're going to time you, though, okay. So you're going to have 90 seconds tops. You can go shorter if you want.

But 90 seconds is the limit. All right, Alse, you're going to go first this round. When you're ready for your news report to begin, hop right in. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey, folks, welcome back to seaweed everywhere with me.

Your host, Capitile seaweed. I'm here with a bunch of people from Chile. And they want to let you know about something from seaweed. Yes, I'm from Chile. And this is my Chilean accent.

And I love seaweed. As a matter of fact, there's a food we call it, a food we call culture, a u-yo. And it's also very old. And we use the inside of the seaweed for our teeth.

Not, we don't put it in our, we don't replace our teeth with seaweed. We use the inner part of the seaweed to improve ourselves. Back to you, Capitile Sea. Thanks. That, that, that, man, cut it out.

We're still talking about seaweed.

“One thing you should know about seaweed is that if you are feeling lonely,”

you can always find seaweed in water in the ocean water.

And also, when you watch impressive shows like SpongeBob, they also have seaweed. Seaweed is a cultural touchstone and has been for at least 14,000 years. Use it for yourself if you want to not have a phasia like me. A phasia is when you forget words.

Play us out, band. That's a great song. I would watch that every night for the night. Let's hear your newscast about peanuts. Peanuts.

Peanuts. Peanuts. Peanuts. I would watch that every night for the night. Let's hear your newscast about peanuts.

Peanuts. Peanuts. Peanuts. We need to interrupt this episode of SpongeBob, because we have some breaking shell news going on in the area.

Let's turn to our onsite reporter. Peanuts. There's so much for letting us out. Right now, we are outside next to the peanut dome. It seems to be raining peanuts.

People have gathered outside with sacks. They all have sacks. Catch the peanuts. We will be ending world hunger because it is coming from the sky and it is efficient for everyone to chew and swallow. The crunch.

The crunch has really taken over the stadium. People are crying from joy of the crunchiness and the tastiness of these unsalted roasted peanuts. Thank you so much. Next up, we have the culinary corner with our child actress Shirley Blimple. Thank you so much for having me on the show.

Today, I'll be making a traditional Liberian cuisine dish. She'll call cassava leaf and rice.

I'm already boiled the leaves for approximately three hours because that's always how long it takes.

I've added a scoop of crunchy peanut butter just to think it out a little bit.

It's a classic cultural means for thickening any kind of soup. Who's that, the ghost of George Washington Carver? And he's allergic to peanuts. That's not true. Amazing.

He is allergic, but he's not here. Incredible work. Holy cow. Really on the breaking news on the ground reporting, so much to consider. Okay, Axel, you heard those two brilliant news casts.

And it's time to award a point.

“Did someone make you feel like you were there on the scene?”

Did someone informed you? Did someone make you laugh? Please award a point. Thank you. Okay, and it's time for the final six.

In this round, each team will have just six words to sum up the glory of their side.

Joy, give us your final appeal for peanuts. Weed out the competition. Peanut. Time. Wow.

I love that. Could it take in a bunch of different directions? There was a lot of choices. I chose that one and now I live with it. Yeah.

All right, I'll say your turn to sum up seaweed. Gut, biome. Psychological, support. Help yourself. Help yourself.

Excellent. It is time to award a final point for the final six. Maldos final words. Have you made your decision? I have yet.

“All right, are you ready to declare one side the smash boom best?”

Absolutely. Drum roll please, and the winner is... seaweed. Yes. Wow.

It's nice. Wow. Wow. Okay, Axel. What?

What? So, I appreciate that, Axel. This channel snap him up. He's ready. Joy.

Yes. Thank you for being my friend so long that I could argue so viciously. You've invited the seaweed monster in May to come out and show its best face. Also, honestly, this was a great debate. I feel like peanuts.

I'm from peanut country. So, I'm also from kelp country. Yeah, my home was halfway in the ocean and halfway a farm. Okay. Yep.

But the way that you brought your own history into the history of peanuts... Hmm. I had to talk about people 14,000 years ago. You talked about a dish you had maybe this year? Mm-hmm.

I did. A couple of weeks ago. Yeah.

It is always a pleasure to talk to you and to see you and to fight with you.

And I'm glad that you invited the world to enjoy... Food with you, exceptionally. Yeah. Oh, I'll say, I love you. I'll say, I have to say that like I said earlier, I'm not like...

I don't know much about Japanese food or like seaweed really like I've had seaweed chips before.

“And I think it's so cool, like all of the environmental...”

Wonderful things that is doing pretty environment and for people like healthy snacks and being a part of the bio domes. I learned a lot today. And he has some really, really cool facts. And I'm really glad that you're still my friend. And you're like one of my favorite people. And if I had to lose to anyone, I'm glad it was you.

I wish I didn't lose, but I'm glad it was you. You're my favorite. And I hope we can show others mass boom besters that we can get along. Yeah. Outside of these topics, we don't need to be mad at each other.

No. We can tear our topics, and we can go to the top of the mountain. That's in the gravity of the living room. Listen to this, peeweed, peeweed. See nuts.

Oh, peeweed seed. peeweeds play house. Okay. That is it for today's debate battle. Axel crowned seaweed this match boom best for what about you?

Head to smashboom.org and vote to tell us who you think won. This episode was produced by me, Molly Blooms and a Tottenham Mark Sanchez. We had sound design by Rachel Breeze and Mark Sanchez. We had engineering help from Jake Perlman and Jackson V. Our announcer is Marley for your record auto.

And we want to give us special thanks to Austin Cross and Taylor Kaufman.

I'd like to shout out to my dad who still eats a pallet of peanuts.

Like, I'm all right. Awesome.

“How about you, I'll say any special shout outs?”

I'd like to shout out to the people's closet. Actually, it's in South Minneapolis.

It's actually right at George Ford Square.

And they make sure that there's like accessible nice clothes for folks. And anybody can just come in like donate more. It's run by one person. Wow. That's incredible.

That's amazing. Axel, any special thanks for shout outs?

Personally, everyone here did an incredible job today.

And I would like to shout out my best friend, Salva, who's in the same ball. Nice. Before we go, let's check in and see who Paws thinks should win. The brain versus heart debate.

“I think the brain would win because that's where your emotions actually come from.”

And it controls most of your advice. If you're between the ages of 13 and 18 and you'd like to be a judge, or if you're any age and you have an idea for a knock-down drag-out debate, head to smashboom.org/contact and drop us online. And if you're a fan of the show and want to keep it going,

Atah. Goodbye. See you later. See we just soon. You know, I don't know why we're talking about Victorian women.

When we have a woman right here in front of you right now. Okay, Victoria, let's talk about the woman that's right here. That's the last fact. No, I got one. Sorry.

Only got three.
