What is the main topic of the debate in this episode?
Pushkin. Welcome to the studio, Kalila Holt, producer.
Thank you for having me.
You know, I'm not saying that you should, but it would sometimes be nice to be welcomed into the studio myself.
Well, you always just jump right in and start welcoming me. You don't really give me the opportunity. Welcome to the studio, Jonathan.
Oh, gee, I was taken unawares by that. We're here in the studio because we have something a little different. A special treat. Yeah, it's something that was new for both of us, Kalila and I. We were guests on a children's debate podcast.
The show's called Smash Boom Best, and it's a favorite of your son Augie's, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, very much so, which is how it kind of got onto my radar. I started enjoying listening to it. with him. And the host, Molly Bloom, is kind of a celeb in our household. So I was a little starstruck.
You know, I'm always wary of children's programming because I hate the kind of like over-the-top smiley baby voice.
Too syrupy.
Yeah. But I started listening to the show in advance of doing this, and I feel like I really enjoyed the show. They're talking to kids at like a level that respects their intelligence, I would say.
Yeah, and since we respect you, our listeners' intelligences, it's why we chose to share this episode with you all.
We'll be debating phone calls versus texting.
I don't want to spoil anything. We went pretty toe-to-toe. It got pretty heated during certain moments. But, you know, we're here to talk about it. We're still speaking to one another. So the point is it's always better to use your words rather than a knuckle sandwich to the throat of your adversary.
Thank you for not giving me a knuckle sandwich to the throat.
I deliver my knuckle sandwiches with words. Sans beurre. We had a lot of fun doing it and we hope you'll enjoy listening to it.
And that's all coming up after these fun words from our sponsors. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.

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, we've got two ways of reaching out. One starts with a ring, the other, a ding. It's calling versus texting. Whether you like to type or talk, we're sure you'll have a lot to say about this one. Defending the tradition of talking on the phone, it's the host of the Heavyweight Podcast, Jonathan Goldstein. Howdy-do. And here to hit send for the art of the text, it's Kalila Holt, producer of the Heavyweight Podcast.
Hello, or should I say hand wave emoji?
And here to judge this clash of the communication styles is none other than Ella from Oregon City. Ella is on the swim team, plays flute and saxophone, loves to make art, and has lots of bracelets on both of her arms. Welcome, Ella. Hi. Okay, Ella, since this is a podcast, we cannot see your amazing bracelets. So can you give us a sense of the scope of your bracelets? I have probably like 25 on right now. Wow. Have you made all of them? I've probably made half of them. Incredible. What are we talking about? Like string, beads, all of the above? All of the above. Wow. Do you have a favorite one? I recently made one with soda tabs and it's really cool and it's stretchy. That's very impressive.
