Some 50 different species of hummingbirds live here. Yum! Speaking of pineapples, there's some right there. In fact, hummingbirds pollinate about 8,000 different plants in North and South America, including pineapples.
I don't even feel guilty about all the sugar I'm eating because, while I'm stuffing my beak, I'm spreading pollen which helps more flowers grow. Let's try some from this flower and this other flower and this one over here. It's because hummingbirds have to eat every 10 minutes and consume the equivalent of half their body weight in insects and flower nectar every day. Why am I so hungry all of a sudden? Oh, I know. I can even levitate in mid-air and contemplate the beautiful flowers. Oh, and my unique bone structure and wing muscles allow me to go forwards, upwards, down, backwards, even upside down! I'm like a helicopter but so much cooler. I'm- I'm- I'm a hummingbird! I can fly! So this is what it feels like to beat your wings up to 70 times per second. (HUMMINGBIRD VOICE) Whoa! Why is my voice getting so chill? Why is my nose being so long and pointy? It's happening, people. Let's see, hummingbird websites, hummingbird videos, hummingbird TikTok? Interesting. JILL REPLOGLE: Got to find material for my Declaration of Greatness. Tell us why your itsy bitsy birdies are the Smash Boom Best. At the end of the show, head to our website,, and vote for whichever team you think won. She'll award one point in each round after that, but she'll keep her decision secret until the end of the debate. One for her favorite rebuttal, the other for the declaration she liked best. Our Judge, Lena, will award two points in the first round. And to wrap it all up, we've got the Final 6, where each team will have just six words to sum up the glory of their side. Round 3 is the Sneak Attack, where our debaters will have to respond to an improv challenge on the spot.
Then we've got the Micro Round, where each team will present a creative response to a prompt they received in advance. Round 1 is the Declaration of Greatness, where our debaters present fact-filled arguments in favor of their side, and each have 30 seconds to rebut their opponent's statements. Lena, are you feeling ready to judge today's debate? MOLLY BLOOM: What about seahorses? I know you experienced seahorses during The Little Mermaid, so what would they sound like? Maybe. So, how do you think a hummingbird would sing the word hummingbird? Well, also, I have seen a hummingbird before. JILL REPLOGLE: I feel like there's bias here already. To be fair, I was in the production of The Little Mermaid. If a seahorse and a hummingbird were in an opera, what would they sound like? What would their voices be like, do you think? MOLLY BLOOM: So, I have a question for you. And when she was nine, she asked for a melon baller and a king-sized Kit Kat for Hanukkah. MOLLY BLOOM: Which team will win? The one with wings or the one that swims? Lucky for us, we've got Lena from New York, New York, here to help us decide. MOLLY BLOOM: And comic and writer, Brandi Brown, is here to defend the splendor of seahorses.īRANDI BROWN: Give it up for seahorses, the best dancers underwater. JILL REPLOGLE: Shout out to the spunky flying gemstones of the sky. We've got reporter, Jill Replogle, here to represent heavenly hummingbirds. Today's stand off features two tiny critters, the squeaker of the skies and the steed of the seas. 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. LENA: The show for people with big opinions! ANNOUNCER: From the brains behind Brains On, it's Smash Boom Best.
