Hello brains on listeners, we hear from a lot of you that our debate episodes are some of your

favorites. You know, dolphin versus octopus, bridges versus tunnels, fire versus lasers,

deep sea versus outer space, and they are some of our favorites too. For the past few months,

we've been working on a top secret project and we are so excited we finally get to share it with you.

It's a new show called Smash Boom Best and it's nothing but debates. It's like the debates

you've heard on brains on, but with a few new twists. It's a little faster paced, a little

sillier, and we hope you'll think it's a lot of fun. We're sharing our first episode with you

here today and then a new episode will come out every Thursday through the end of June in the

Smash Boom Best Feed. So if you're excited about the possibility of eight new debates to listen to,

we advise finding Smash Boom Best in your podcast app of choice and subscribe. And if you like

the show, please tell your friends. As always, we love your feedback and ideas. Write us anytime

at helloatbrainson.org. Okay, here's Smash Boom Best. From the brains behind brains on,

it's Smash Boom Best. A show for people with big opinions.

Hello, 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, Wings Out, Eyes Wide,

we're swooping in on a battle between a perfect pair of creatures of the night. Get ready for

bats versus owls. I personally believe that owls are cooler because they can turn their head

all the way around. I like their, they have huge eyes. It's like unbelievably huge

owls because I'm the hair butter fan. I'm team bats. You look just slicker, spookier I guess.

Hang up upside down. Bats are blind and they have echolocation. They see with sound. It's cool.

Will team bat or team owl be crowned the winner? Don't worry, you'll get a chance to weigh in and

vote for your favorite. But today, the only person who holds the answer is our judge, Hobtay Marton.
