Onions vs Corn
Q: In 1949, a senator tried to ban popcorn from movie theaters. Why?
Because it was considered noisy and disruptive to movie watching; the bill also affected other snacks.
Stitch vs Yoda
Q: Why didn't Yoda train Leia instead of Luke?
Because Luke put in the effort, he took the X-wing to Dagobah and showed up, while Yoda lets people make their own choices, good or bad.
Stitch vs Yoda
Q: What advice do you have for our debaters today?
Be really funny, and have to have logic that rounds up well with how your debate works.
Smash Boom Best presents: Story Pirates
Q: Do you have any advice for any kids who are like, I want to make my room special and feel like my own private space?
They should think about what areas they use the most, and if they could design it any way they want, no budget, what they would want in there.
