It is estimated that over four million people have been abducted by alien life forms. But only one of them asked for it.
This is Elio, of Earth.
If any aliens are listening, come and get me.
From Tisny and Pixar, it's really happening.

Hi, I'm Molly Bloom, 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's debate is a showdown of natural wonder, it's a beachy beauty against a fabulous frand.
It's sea shells versus ferns.
We've got actor and podcaster Michael Stevens ready to sing his praises for team sea shells.
It's great to be with you all for the celebrating today.
I'm sure it's going to be a sand -sational, time.
And comedian and composer Justin Lobaso is here to fun over team ferns.
It's fern -tastic to be here.
You know, my feet are planted on the ground and I am grounded and I am ready to win.
And here to judge it all is Hayden from Locust Grove, Virginia.
Hayden loves to play piano. guitar and jukulele has four cats and to this day, has never tried soup, I hated!
I'm glad to be here!
So what are the names of your four cats?
Their names are Hallebou ,�udini, Baby, and Goblin!
Have you had those cats all for the same amount of time or like when did they come into your life?
Okay, so goblin, Baby, And Houdini, we got eight years ago about.
And then Halaboo, I just got last summer.
So just under a year and he is my son and I love him.
Well, do you have any advice for our debaters today?
I love some good, cited sources and one of the first episodes, one person cited a source which is a book and I bought that book at 2011.
incredible. Was it a good book?
I don't remember. Because I was 11.
Yeah, that's a long time ago.
It's fair. It's still on my bookshelf and you know maybe I'll give a reread this summer.
I love that. So, newspapers please present your bibliography to Hayden at the end of the debate.
Yes. In Emily, Claire, over Adios got a maulan alphabetical order.
Yes, well, well, Hayden side with team seashells or team ferns only time will tell before we dive in a let's review the rules of the game.
Every debate consists of four rounds, the decoration of greatness, the micro round the snake attack and the final six.
After each round our judge Hayden will award points to this team that impresses her the but she'll keep her 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 won.
Alright, Michael, Justin and Hayden, are you ready?
I sure am. I was born ready.
And it's time for the Declaration of Graves.
In this round, our debaters will present a well -crafted, immersive argument in favor of their side.
Then they'll each have 30 seconds to rebut their opponent's statements with up to coin and Michael, you're up first!
Tell us what makes seashells, so stupendous.
Oh, hi! Are you looking for a fun new way to bring the beauty of the natural world inside your home?
Want to feel like you're at the beach while you're, you know, sitting on the toilet Had an overdose Sally's Salvador seashell shack where we've got you covered for all your seashell needs Don't just take my word for it.
Just listen to these very very real testimonials My bathroom used to be so boring white towels white toilet white bathtub uh...
but now my bathroom is chockful of stunning shelves.
I drink 5 cups of coffee a day just to look at those shelves.
Arr, meat pirate -themed restaurant.
Wasn't catching any eyes.
So I sailed to Sally Salvador's seashell shack.
Now, cella, shower me, shella, she'll Ishanti.
With all the lunch money.
And I'm a hermit grab.
Sally got me a new home.
So, come on down to Sally self -adors seashellshack, where our only business is selling you the finest seashells by the seashore.
Everybody loves shells, they're incredible, indispensable, and super strong.
Tons of sea creatures have shells, like clams, oysters, and snails—that's because they're great protection.
I. See, creatures be delicious.
Now get ready to be sliced into by my trusty sword, your tasty clam.
What the? Ahh! Why won't my blade cut your train?
Well, your sword is made of wood, but also, seashells are really strong, they're made in a process called biamineralization.
Bia what's it? Biamineralization.
Biauhoa, that's when creatures make their own shells by pulling minerals out of the water.
These minerals then harden into the microscopic crystals that make sea shells.
They're super strong and can last a long time too, even after the animal that lived inside is long gone.
And that's not all!
Because of their strength, color, and massive variety, sea shells have been used in lots of cool ways throughout history.
Thousands of years ago, ancient people use shells as tools, like knives, hose and bowls, but shells aren't just useful tools.
They're also valuable.
In the 14th century, tiny white shells called Cowrie shells were used as money in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
They were considered easier to use than gold because they were portable, strong and difficult to counterfeit.
Hi there, I'd like to buy a sandwich, these socks.
Ooh, and some whale blubber.
Alright, there will be twelve shells.
Oh, twelve shells? Sorry.
I only have cash. What kind of a shell -sheel -sheel -sharlerton do you take me for?
Come back when you have real money.
Shells don't just make good money.
They also make great fertilizer, concrete, and even music.
Don't take my word for it.
Just listen to the tune from this gorgeous con shell.
With so many great ways to use shells, it's no wonder people love them so much. But there's another reason why humans have been obsessed with them for thousands of years.
Shells are one of nature's greatest natural beauties.
With their intricate patterns and colors it totally makes sense why people use them for decoration.
And because of their amazing variety, shells can fit anyone's style.
I prefer darkness, spikes, and edges.
There's a shell for that.
I like ponies, pink poseys, and big pansies.
There's a shell for that, too.
I like staring at toilets, licking stamps and yelling at the moon.
Cool, I'm sure there's a shell out there for you, too.
Because with around 100 ,000 shell species to choose from, everyone can find a sea shell that matches their unique style.
That's why every time my partner and I take a trip to the beach we collect a few shells to remind us of the fun.
We had Plus our pep bird Clover loves to nibble seeds out of them too So if you're looking for something that is super useful matches your style and is bird approved head to the nearest beach and grab a shell and if you don't live near a beach head to Sally's self -adores sea shell shack.
I'll know if you don't Wow, a stupendous argument there for shells.
The whole family loves them.
Hayden... what's it out to you about Michael's declaration of greatness?
Oh my gosh, I love how he combines science and history and comedy and I also feel called out because I have a female bathroom.
Well, it's a great place to stare at shells.
Yeah, definitely. And on my notes I just wrote, bio hu ha.
That's very funny. Great job.
Thank you very much. Very, very well done.
Alright Justin, it is time for your rebuttal.
Tell us why seashells are stinky.
You've got 30 seconds and your time starts now.
Seashells are pretty.
What if they break?
If ferns break, they will grow another arm and are also great decorators.
Ferns are life, but seashells are, you know, discarded from the little clams and everything.
If you put uh, seashell in your bathroom, I mean, a clamped get, get in there and that's really scary, because you won't, you won't know that the clams in there.
Um, seashells turned into sand, uh, the worst part of going to the beach, uh, and uh, they have those ridges, and if you sit on it, um, it'll, it'll leave marks on your butt and that's not great.
And... Sneaky shells.
Leave in marks on your butt.
Very sneaky. Even marks on your butt.
Michael, anything you'd like to say in response, to Justin?
Well, I'd like to keep a clam cool and collected, but I have to say, when shells break, you can make boxes out of them.
This is a very common practice.
Could you clarify the point about clams getting into shells?
Whoop! Yeah, what are your sources?
My sources? Let me cite my sources.
It's me at 1am. Uh, my mom always had a, uh, our bathroom is always beamed and everything.
And I always thought as a kid, I'm like, not, not bugs, not squirrels or anything like that, but what if a clam, a muscle, a small, you know, a pearl -giving creature where to find its wings of the bathroom is just kind of hang out there.
never know it's glued onto the wall my my sources anecdotal okay okay I've just find that really really funny I also hail from a beach bathroom house hold uh yeah and I have not I know I do not all right this is an excellent to Harried.
All right, Justin, I know you've got some things to say.
I'm more on your mind.
So please tell us my ferns are so fabulous.
The timing of this debate is perfect.
I just got cast in the Fern soap opera as the world ferns.
I play Brad Fernilee, a charismatic fern in love with fern to relevantly.
Here's a clip. Oh, Brad, your friends are so strong.
Fundarella, you chlorophyll my heart with joy.
Who could that be? It's me, Dusty Mix fours.
Gasp! Gasp! But I thought you were dead!
I just wanted you to think that.
No, my leaves may have died.
But us ferns can sprout back from our special underground stems called rhizomes.
Now come to me, my darling.
But I'm with Brad Fernly now.
You are? Gas. Double gas!
I mean, yeah. Besides, you only want to marry Fern Jarella for her burn -heretes.
This is your just green with envy because my looks are so plantalizing.
Oh yeah? Try this on for photosynthesize.
1. Ferns are some of the most dramatic plants out there.
They have fabulous frons, which are long leafy stems that look like plant feathers.
Some ferns are the size of trees.
Others you could fit on the tip of your finger.
Plus they can be different colors from Bright Green to Orange or even Purple.
All this makes them some of the best decorators out there.
Help! My forest is looking so drab!
How can I add some oomph?
Try covering the forest floor with ferns.
They grow all over from lush rain forests to rocky mountains to hot deserts.
They look great and help trap moisture at ground level.
So things don't get too dry.
But ferns aren't just for the ground.
Some grow on other plants, like the bird's nest fern.
It grows high up on trees and like its name, it looks like a nest that catches rain water and leaves.
This makes it a perfect home for little critters.
Shh! Wow! This forest went from drap to fap, Can ferns grow inside, too?
Uh, are seashells just the abandoned homes of spineless creeps?
Haha, of course. Ferns are amazing houseplans!
In the 1970s and 80s, ferns were so popular they became the defining feature of hip bars and restaurants.
They were called fern bars, and they'd have quirky anti -clamps, dark wood, old science on the walls, and of course, ferns.
These Fernbars were great date spots What a magical night, it might be all the wonderfully vibrant plant life talking, but I think I'm in love You're right.
I feel it too. I love you, Fern.
I mean Fred. I love you, Fred not Fern In fact, there's a chance some of your grandparents met at a Fern bar They fell in love, had kids, one who became your parent and then you were born.
Wait, without ferns would you even exist?
Don't think too hard about it.
And if you want tough, look no further.
Ferns are the ultimate survivors!
They can get trampled, burned, and eaten and still bounce back.
That's because ferns can regrow from their roots alone, plus they reproduce using tiny little dust -like specks called spores.
A sport will launch into the wind and if it lands in some decent dirt it'll sprout more ferns.
You just can't stop this leafy crop.
That's why fern survived the last mass extinction around 66 million years ago a huge asteroid hit earth.
Wiping out most of the plants and animals, including the dinosaurs.
years. But who survived?
Our friends, the fern.
Over time, ferns helped improve the soil and created little habitats for other things to grow and evolve and eventually thrive.
Like mammals. That's the branch of life that led to us humans.
Wait, without ferns would humans even exist?
Do think hard about it.
Think very hard. Then, both Oh my goodness.
I am thinking so hard and my brain feels great because it's thinking about ferns.
Hayden, what stood out to you about Justin's Declaration of Greatness?
I didn't know that ferns used spores.
But I don't know why that wrote I'd just wrote spores on my notes.
It's fascinating. I'm thinking so hard about ferns right now.
It's Amazing. All right, Michael, it is time for your rebuttal.
Give us some sick burns about burns.
You've got 30 seconds and your time starts now.
Burns are so dramatic and fickle.
They need so much attention.
You think they were royalty.
Who are they? The king of your house.
They are among the hardest plans to keep alive if you take them home.
They need to be watered a lot so that they They don't dry out too much. They're super delicate, they need to be constantly misdied, you need to get a dehumidifier or a humidifier, but who's got that kind of cash.
I'm not the king of the house, money doesn't grow on trends, symbolism.
Simulism. Do I have more time or no?
Nope, okay. I do like just ending with the word So tell the people who have listed it!
I have so much more to say, but to be continued, another time, later in Nf4.
Okay, hey, then, it is time to award some points.
Please give one point to the declaration of greatness that you liked best and one point to the rebuttal that won you over.
You get to decide what makes a winning argument.
Did one team's jokes to make you giggle, was another team siding their sources, award your points, but don't tell us who they're going to.
They could both go to the same person.
Or each debater could get a point.
Have you made your decision?
Yes, I have. Excellent Justin and Michael.
How are you two feeling so far?
I'm feeling fern, you know?
I'm feeling rooted down.
I'm feeling under the cover of a forest. Okay, I am calm and I am ready.
Feeling pretty bold.
Feeling pretty oysterous, um yeah.
It is time for a quick break.
Slip on your beet juice or your hiking boots, and we'll be right back with more Smash Film Best. You're listening to State of Debate, home to rape you rhetoric and I'm firing argumentation.
Splashed splashed me, Taylor Lincoln, alongside my sparkling clean...
Bud Todd Douglas. Say, is that a pair of vacuum cleaners you're holding above your head, Todd?
I, Taylor. It sure is.
I use 2, so that I can clean the ceiling at lightening speed.
2. Only thing left is my double -handed, super -spinning full -room mopping.
I love to clean too, but instead of rooms, I like to clean up bad arguments, especially when there are logical fallacies in the mix.
Oh, a logical fallacy.
That's when someone makes a bad argument that's easy to defeat.
It is, and the other day, I overheard a real messy one.
Let's take a listen.
Whoa. Hi, welcome to Sargent sloppy's slop tacular slop stront.
Our food is slop being rude.
Can I please take your order?
Yes, I'll have the chili cheese slop dog, extra slop sauce with a side of slop fries.
But hold on, yes, please.
Anything else? Do you think I could get some extra napkins with this?
I mean, it feels like it might get kind of sloppy.
Ooh, no can do. No extra napkins, but why not?
If I give you more paper napkins, then everyone will want extra napkins.
And then they might have to cut down whole forests to make more.
And there wouldn't be any more trees in the world.
So, I'm sorry I have to say no to extra napkins.
Wow! Clean up in the debate aisle.
Indeed a Mundo Toddled pal?
That was a real sloppy argument.
That cashier was using the slippery slope fallacy.
That's where someone claims that a small action will lead to a huge outcome.
It's messy because it exaggerates what might happen without any evidence.
Well, I don't know it's going to happen but I'm suddenly craving, swap dogs.
Me too. Let's not get them to go though.
I wouldn't want to get any on this newly clean ceiling.
Thanks. We'll see you next time on… State of Debate!
It is estimated that over four million people have been abducted by alien life forms, but only one of them...
asked for it. This is L .O.

It's probably happening.

see Shells vs Ferns.
That's right, and it's time for round two, zah.
Micro -round! For the micro -round challenge, each team has prepared a creative response to a prompt they received in advance.
We asked Michael and Justin to pretend like they are YouTube stars, telling us why their side is this smash boom best. Michael went first last time, so Justin, you're up.
Give us the funny facts on Franz, YouTube style.
Hey friends, welcome to my Fern Tube channel, where we talk about nothing but the for the wonderful greens of our world.
Specifically, Ferns.
Because we're here to have Ferns.
Also, remember to comment, subscribe, and send me a pre -stamped envelope if you want a copy of my newsletter for fantastic facts and where to find them.

This month, I've been doing something a little different, a song -a -day challenge, where I write one original song every day.
Today's song is about someone who didn't love me back.
If there's a certain plant listening to this, this one's for you.
I thought it would work between us, but I guess I didn't have it right.
I was ready to get my hands dirty, but you would even bite.
You were so down to earth, but you couldn't even say a word. All you do was lay in the sun and be happy to get pooped on by birds.
It's fertiliser apparently.
I fell in love with you Fern.
A real Fern, I fell in love with the plant.
But when I spoke about feelings, you wouldn't even say a word. You only have leaves.
You literally don't have a mouth.
So the pod I bought or you will now be returned to the store!
Well, Fern friend, it's been real.
Keep an eye out for my next video, 10 leaves you can't leave home without.
And remember, make every day a phenomenal day!
Wow, that was indeed a phenomenal that's so emo in there really felt it all right Michael it's your turn to share about sea shells with social media and go Hi and welcome to Mark Malof's Sally shells on the seashua to the YouTube channel where I Human Real to Mark Mollusk demystify the seashell home buying process because I want to make sure your first shell is your dream shell.
I'm sure many of you know shells.
Your hermit crabs. But you probably don't know how to buy a shell.
That's where I come in.
Hey, Figo, come back with that shell.
You got a paper that property.
Oh yeah! Yay! The first thing you need to know.
When buying your forever shell is you're gonna need to make sure it's got good bones.
AKA, a large cavernous spiral to house your crabby body.
Like this one here.
Can you believe the number of bathromes in this beauty?
And it's only $500 ,000.
Helping little, itty -bitty, karmic crabs find their dream shows, makes me so glad I left a high paying job in human real estate.
Plus, I just love the beach!
Scram chickens, you messed up my video.
I'ma real big new under youraps.
Puh! Now, it's time to close the deal.
You'll need to make sure you can pay for the home and your realtor.
My fee is a commission rate of 5 .4 % of the shells you buy the home for, which is pretty confusing when you don't know which shells are the homes, and which shells are the money.
Wait? Is that a giant seagull?
Not a gun? Oh, no! My shells!
credible Hayden what did you like about Michael and Justin's micro -rounds well I listened to so much YouTube and so many podcasts, so this is just heading to Birds of One Stone When I saw that Justin was a composer I was hoping for songs, so I'm very pleased That we got a song, I am so glad you got a song too.
Now though it is time to award a point Have you made your decision?
yes Then it's time for our third round.
The super stealthy sneak attack.
This is our improvised round where debaters have to respond to a challenge on the spot.
Today's sneak attack is called musical styles.
For this challenge we want each of you to come up with one glorious sentence, making a case for your side.
Then we'll give you three different genres of music and you'll sing that sentence again In each genre, does that make sense?
Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
All right, debaters.
We're gonna start with Michael.
Let's hear your sentence just plain spoken.
Seals are fun for arts and crafts.
Lovely. Alright now, Justin, let's hear your sentence.
Thorns are beautiful life.
That's our beautiful life.
That's my say, perfect.
Alright, Michael, let's hear your sentence again.
C -shells are fun for arts and crafts.
But this time, please sing it in the style of pop music.
T -shells are fun for art and crafts.
C -shells are fun for art and crafts.
Hmm, very nice, very nice.
Alright, Justin, let's hear your sentence in the style of country music.
Ferns are beautiful, life and Ferns are beautiful, Life burns our beautiful life, Helps our beautiful life.
How was that? I can hear the banjo picking now, it was so good.
All right Michael, let's hear yours again, but this time in the style of electronic dance music.
See? Shows our palm for our jin photography...
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.
See, shows our palm for our jin Little bit of a...
Little bit of a sample.
I will say Michael is dancing like crap on the other side of the table...
And I'm on this side of the argument but I need this....
Just in your sentence in the style of opera That's pretty good.
I think your sentence was made for opera.
I think it was truly made for opera, absolutely.
Alright, Michael for your final sentence.
Let's hear it sung in the style of indie rock.
C. Shells, are fun.
Four arts and crafts.
Bon, bon. C. Shells, are fun.
The end. Amazing. Wow.
That was pretty beautiful.
Thank you, friend. The Arctic mochies are fucking out of this.
I don't know what he was talking to.
Alright Justin, for your final sentence, let's hear it in the style of a Broadway balance.
Oh, I'm so jealous.
It's good. It's good.
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Ferns are beautiful life.
Ferns are beautiful life.
Don't you know it. Ferns are beautiful life.
The sun really light breathing at the end.
Was it about? You'll have to ask me later.
Truly beautiful. Both did such a wonderful job at Hayden.
Only one of them can get a point for their remarkable musical stylings.
Hayden, have you made your decision?
Yes, I have. Then it's time for our final round.
The final six. In this round, each team will have just six words to sum up the glory of their side.
Justin, let's hear your six words for why Ferns are the most fantastic.
Ferns rooted green, beautiful, Verger scene.
What was the second to last word?
This second to last word is Verger.
I found it on www .google .com.
This is real work. It's a real work.
It's an absolute real -word. I didn't click the pronunciation button before I left my oath.
What does it mean? It specifically recalls it to like, a beautiful aesthetic of nature.
Usually in terms of landscape, isn't it?
Look, we're learning today.
I love this. Alright, Michael.
It is your turn. Please give us the skinny NYC shells.
Our superior. Ultimately, C -shells are great because beach. Oh man.
Hayden, I am glad you are making this decision a not me because this was a very close debate but it's time to award your final point.
Have you made your decision?
Yes. All right, tally up those points.
Are you ready to crown one team the Smashboom best?
I am drum roll please and the winner is Burns Amazing.
That's just amazing.
That's fantastic. That's fantastic.
Truly. Thank you very much for this award I don't know if I'm supposed to stop it now.
I'm looking at you.
I start celebrating it and I'm going to be really speaking.
I'd like to thank my opponent Michael on the other side of the table.
You know, it was a really rough match, but we really put our all into it and I really put my all into this.
And I'd like to thank the Academy AKA Hayden.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for this victory.
I'm going to be smiling all the way home today.
So Hayden, what was your favorite part of today's debate?
Well, you know, I was really neutral, but now I'm scared to go on the beach theme bathroom because I don't know if some england rape creature has crawled into the shells just to be nice.
I have a new fear. I was in that bathroom earlier and there could have been millions of small creatures watching me for the shells I would have had no clue.
So thank you for bringing that to my attention.
