Announcer: From the brains behind brains on its Smash Boom Best.

Carlos: The show for people with big opinions.

Molly Bloom: 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, it's another superpower showdown. Challenger one is teleportation, the ability to instantly zap yourself to any place in the world. Challenger two is telekinesis. That's the power to move things with your mind. Which tele will take the crown? Here to help us decide is our judge, Carlos. Welcome, Carlos.

Carlos: Hi there.

Molly: Carlos, before we get started, what comes to mind when I say teleportation?

Carlos: Paris. You want to go? We can go right now.

(laughter)

Molly: What about when I say telekinesis? What do you think of?

Carlos: I can move it with my mind.

Molly: (laughs) Carlos, when you're not here with us judging awesome debates, what kind of stuff do you like to do?

Carlos: Well, when I'm not here with you judging debates, I'm actually probably in real life at a debate. I debate for my high school, Loyola. Go, Bulldogs.

Molly: What advice do you have for our debaters today?

Carlos: Really, just be yourself. Remember to have fun.

Molly: It's time to introduce our debaters. Repping telekinesis, the ability to use psychic energy to lift and move stuff, it's Menaka Wilhelm. Hi, Menaka.

Menaka Wilhelm: Hey, Molly. Hey, Carlos.

Molly: Menaka, in one sentence, why is telekinesis the coolest power?

Menaka: Why move one thing — yourself — when you could move all the things?

Molly: Oh, I like it. Well, arguing for teleportation, the power to instantly travel from point A to point B, it's Jed Kim. Hi, Jed.

Jed Kim: Hello, everybody. Very proud to be repping teleporters everywhere.

Molly: (chuckles) Jed, give us one sentence on why teleportation is tops.

Jed: With teleportation, you never have to miss out on anything ever again.

Menaka: Oh, with the FOMO appeal.

(laughter)

Jed: It's real.
