But, French toast includes an egg dip,

so, in addition to the deliciousness,

you also get protein benefits.

Ooh, Nia on that nutrition mission.

-You hear that, Rae? Now they want French toast. -Wait for it.

But with French toast, you're limited by plate size.

Pancakes are stackable.

Sweet'N Way-Low droppin' that logic.

-Pancakes. There it is. -Mm-hmm. All right, kids.

Grab your backpacks, and, oh, get your flapjacks. [laughs]

Why are you guys arguing about breakfast

when quite simply, delicious...

is delicious.

They're warming up for debate team.

It's like watching tennis, but even more boring.

[scoffs] No. Debate team is anything but boring. It's thrilling.

Actually, Booker, you should think about joining.

Debate team? I'm more of a live and let live kind of guy.

I don't like to argue.

Oh, please. Yes, you do.

-Do not. -Chelsea: You kids want sausage or bacon?

-Bacon. -Sausage.

Everybody knows that bacon is America's breakfast meat of choice.

[snickers]

Bro, you good?

What? It looks like you sucked in your own face.

Yeah. Like you might just wanna... I don't know...

debate Levi's point?

You can wrap sausage inside a pancake

and dip it in syrup to achieve breakfast nirvana.

Sausage wins!

Sounds like a solid argument to me.

Yeah. I'm a natural.

Isn't this exciting, Booker?

Literally nothing has happened.

Oh, it's about to, and I can't wait.

You're looking at the first middle-schooler

to make it up to the high school debate team.

Yeah, and I am really, really proud of you, Levi,

but I need to focus.

Hope you're ready, Booker.

Mr. Argo likes to throw newbs into the fire.

Come on, now. What I lack in experience,

I make up for in swag.

Okay, debaters. We are here to learn and have fun, in that order.

Wait. No.

Yeah, yeah. In that order.

[chuckles] Okay, first practice debate.

Please pick me, please pick me. Please, please pick me.

Booker Baxter-Carter. Let's see what our newb can do.

Oh, come on, Mr. Argo. He's all brand new, and I am...

I'm here to learn.

And have fun. In that order. [chuckles] Right.

Okay. Now, to choose your opponent...

-Please pick me, please pick me. -Oh, me! Please pick me.

Levi. Let's see what our other newb can do. Get on up here.

Patriarchy.

Yes! Let the winning begin!

Okay, well, then, our first debate is set.

Levi versus Booker.

Good luck.

You know what? I promise to take it easy on you, little bro.

Just remember one thing.

All's fair in love and debate.

-[all giggling] -Oh! I'm also teaching a new class called "Vroomba."

It's still a dance class, only on exercise bikes.

Oh, wow. Dancing on bikes. I mean--

How does-- How does that work?

Oh, it doesn't. It's awful. [laughs]

But every week, I mash two random things together,

call it a class, and it sells out instantly!

[laughs] People love a good trend.

-They do. They do. -You're right. They really do.

Oh, you know what? We only have five minutes left, Mei.

We haven't even started helping you yet.

Oh, I don't need your help.

I only booked this session so I could say hi.

So, hi!

-Aw! -Both: Hi!

It's just that I never get to see my girls.

The Chelseas are always so busy! [laughs]

Mei, you can't book a session with us just to say hi.

Our time is money.

That's why I paid you in coffee currency!

You're welcome. [laughs]

Okay, I'm zooming off to Vroomba now.

Vroom-vroom, Chels! And Chels.

-[laughs] -[forced laughter]

That's... that's... That's not my name.

-Chels, we need to be careful with this Mei situation. -I know.

You remember last time we got too close to a client.

Pssssh, yeah. No, I totally remember.

-You don't remember, do you? -No. No, not a thing.

-Listen, we got too close to Maria. -Uh-huh.

Right? And it made it impossible for us to help her as a client.

Oh, Maria!

Yeah, yeah...

-You still don't remember, do you? -No, not a clue.

The point is, Chels,

we need to make a pact, all right?

From now on, our relationship with Mei

needs to stay strictly professional.

Okay, you got it. That's right.

We should do business before friend...

ness.

Ooh! Friend-ness, Rae!

That's a slogan. It is!

It could be, like, a trendsetter, you know?

Remember, raise the roof!

R-raise-- Raise the roof!

-Raise the roof-- -Nope, nobody's raising roofs like that anymore.

At all.

Oh. Well, that's disappointing.

♪♪♪

Oh, look who decided to come to the practice debate.

It was either this, or go home without you guys.

-Lesser of two borings. -Oh.

All right. So, the topic of our first practice debate is:

"The Dangers of Piracy."

Our winner, everyone!

[whooshing]

Piracy.

I'd like to "arrr"-gue for that.

Those amazing ships. Those skull-and-crossbone flags.

-Ugh. -What?

-Pirates are so cool. -Yeah.

Mm-hmm, but he's supposed to be arguing about

internet piracy. Not pirates.

-Oh. -Oh, I feel so badly for him.

He's arguing with such conviction.

Well, he's not wrong about eye patches. [chuckles]

And don't get me started about walking the plank.

I mean, could there be a more perfect punishment?

That's why I support piracy.

Yo-ho, and here ya go.

-[clatters] -[feedback whining]

Okay. Uh, wow.

Booker, I didn't know what to expect from you.

Ha! Hear that, Levi?

He's speechless.

Levi, you're up.

Thanks, Mr. Argo.

I'd like to argue the dangers of internet piracy.

Which of course, is the actual topic of today's debate.

I respect my esteemed fellow debater.

-While I, too, would love to talk hours on end... -Oh!

-about doubloons and pirate chests... -Poops.

And that, ladies and gentlemen,

is the reason internet piracy will never be okay in my book.

Our winner, everyone!

Remember, all's fair in love and debate.

-Can we take a debate break, please? -Wait.

Book, you debated well today.

I mean, yeah, you may have lost the crowd

with that whole "bring back the plank" stance, but...

If I had known that Mr. Argo wasn't talking about

"aaar" piracy, I know I could have won.

Exactly. There's no shame in losing one debate.

-How many debates have you lost? -Oh, me? Please. I don't lose.

But no shame in losing.

Oh, Booker, Booker, Booker.

It has to sting being beaten by a middle schooler.

Kinda takes the wind out of your sails, yo-ho, huh?

Ugh, no, I have to go up against Wyatt Darcy.

No way. Who's that?

It's when we drool over sneakers we can't afford.

But Ramon can get a head start on the drool.

I'll stick around for a quick practice debate.

Fine. [clears throat]

just so you can hang out.

Okay, but pro:

They bring you nice things and make you feel good.

Con: They chew chips loudly,

Whoa, whoa! Hey! Now you're getting personal.

Con: They are easily distracted

by shiny things and video games.

Okay, you know what? Ramon is perfect in every way,

and boyfriends rock.

Now, I'm going to hang out with him.

I'll be back to practice-debate more later.

Good first session, Nia.

were having a pretty heated discussion.

A result of being pitted against each other

in not just one, but two practice debates.

And do you know what?

We were able to get some things off of our chest,

And ultimately, we completely resolved our conflict.
