  • Mad About March Madness!
    Mar 16 2026

    March Madness is back, and so are we.


    In this episode, Craig and Aaron revisit one of the most exciting times in sports and break down all the things that make the NCAA Tournament so great. From unforgettable moments and Cinderella runs to the chaos of filling out brackets, we talk about what makes March Madness one of the best sporting events of the year.


    Along the way we dive into some of the tournament’s biggest villains, debate the greatest basketball movies of all time, and of course talk about the food that makes watching the games even better. Because let’s be honest, the snacks are almost as important as the buzzer beaters.


    To wrap it all up, we build our own bracket of the best things about March Madness and crown a champion.


    If you love college basketball, tournament chaos, great sports movies, and game day food, this episode is for you.

  • Old School vs New School: Was It Actually Better Back Then?
    Feb 23 2026

    Was old school stuff better… or are we just nostalgic?


    In this episode, Craig and Aaron dive into the great debate: old school vs new school. From technology and entertainment to games, food, and everyday life, we’re asking the big question everyone eventually wrestles with… Did things peak in the “good old days” or have modern upgrades actually made life better?


    We talk flip phones vs smartphones, VHS vs streaming, paper maps vs GPS, old cartoons vs today’s animation, and whether the past was truly superior or just simpler.


    This week, there are no brackets, no rankings, just a conversation about nostalgia, progress, and whether we’re officially becoming the “back in my day” guys.


    Are you Team Old School or Team New School?

  • Fast Food Chicken Nuggets
    Feb 16 2026

    This week on The Best Things with Craig and Aaron, we tackle one of the most important culinary debates of our time…


    Who has the best fast food chicken nuggets?


    We grabbed nuggets from the biggest names in the game and put them head-to-head. We’re talking crispiness, flavor, sauce compatibility, dippability, nostalgia factor, and yes… shape integrity.


    Are McDonald’s nuggets still elite?

    Is Chick-fil-A overrated?

    Does Wendy’s sneak up on everyone?

    And does anyone actually win against a spicy nugget?


    We taste. We debate. We overanalyze. And of course, we put them through our signature tournament to crown the ultimate nugget champion.


    If you’ve ever confidently declared “these are the best nuggets and I will die on this hill,” this episode is for you.


    Let us know your winner. We’re ready to argue about it.
