Hello, hello.

I'm Brittany Loose and you're listening to It's Been A Minute from NPR, a show about

what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident. For the next few weeks I am bringing the Smackdown, a debate series to American cities all

across the country to find out what are the most influential things and the most

important people that come from those places.

I'm debating who and what are the greatest of all time.

Today's cage match is being held in Birmingham, Alabama and our debaters this week are

Gulf States Newsroom Sports and Cultural Reporter Joseph King and AL.com Life and Culture

reporter Cody Short.

Joseph, Cody, welcome to his name minute.

Thank you for having us.

Yeah, thank you.

I appreciate the opportunity.

Are the two of you ready to fight to the death?

I am.

I'm ready right now.

Okay.

All right, well just kidding, just kidding.
