I've added another response for Romeo to use when Atomic says "I have no answer for that". Romeo suggests that the people watching the show could contribute topics. Initially Atomic is offended - he prides himself on his knowledge. However, the thought of Romeo adding things to his knowledge base so disturbs him that he addresses the audience directly and pleads for people to leave comments.
