Up For Debate

On this episode we discuss official United States symbols (the national mammal is the bison?) and pick a few of our own (what would be the country's official beverage?). It's apple pie, cold milk, banjo music and and America's past time on Up For Debate. http://upfordebate.tv Facebook: http://fb.com/upfordebatetv Subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Soundcloud, via RSS and in most major podcast apps

On this Up For Debate, we conduct another creative challenge in which we must create our own fictional minor league baseball team! We start with a location (Grit City), then pick a team name and mascot (Matt draws her and it's kind of terrifying), then develop some game promotions and events (Mystery Stew Night anyone?). Plus, submit your names for our fake stadium using #TacomaGrits to be entered to win a free t-shirt! Laugh along as we create the next great sports franchise. http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this episode we take an alternate look at history as we "un-invent" some of life's great works and imagine a world where they never existed in the first place. How would you drive without a steering wheel? How would you write without instruments? What if we didn't have to wear fancy blue jeans? Hear how the world would change on this episode of Up For Debate! http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Subscribe on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, via RSS and in most major podcast apps

On this episode we play our first round of "This or That", the game that puts two options together in a head-to-head battle with no theme or reason.

On this episode we try to talk about the season of Spring, but instead spend most of the episode talking about such diverse topics as "real" fun facts, the enjoyment of Pop Up Brady, what makes a great fruit salad (bananas?) and if the Assassin's Creed movie will be just another bad video game adaptation.
