Inspired by a listener who bravely asked, “Why didn’t anyone tell us adulthood would be like this?”, Brett and Royce dive headfirst into the strange, snack-filled, mildly alarming reality of being grown-ups. Topics include Count Chocula as a gateway cocktail (with Kahlúa, because…adulthood), the crushing disappointment of staying up late, and the shocking realization that freedom mostly means wanting to go to bed at 9:30pm. The twins debate whether adulthood is an age, a mindset, or simply the moment you realize older people might actually know things, even as you forget your spouse’s name and lose your keys in the freezer. They cover bodily betrayals, parenting vs. not parenting, adult-only resorts, “adult movies” (poor phrasing from Brett), and the true gift of aging: caring less about what does not matter. Beneath the jokes is a reassuring truth: there is no correct way to be an adult. If you are figuring it out, forgetting things, trying new stuff anyway, and eating kiddie cereal the way you want, you are doing it right. Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Armed with bubbly courage and a stack of mystery prompts, Brett and Royce take turns riffing on whatever the other brother pulls from the hat. No prep, mild fear, maximum chaos. Expect airport anthropology (will she make the gate?), cinematic “improvements” that should probably be illegal, and the great bug-snack debate no one asked for. Between sips, they veer from time-machine regrets to parenting truths (kids are miracles… who complain about Indian food). It’s loose, tipsy, and oddly heartfelt. If you like your laughs with pulp and bubbles, this one pours heavy. Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Brett and Royce unwrap Christmas in all its sparkling, chaotic glory. They go from childhood He-Man trauma to adult cookie-related breakdowns in a festive episode that’s equal parts nostalgia, sarcasm, and holiday warmth. They revisit the Great Castle Grayskull Incident, roast the annual Christmas cookie meltdown (“Christmas hell, but make it buttery”), and confess their family’s bizarre truckstop-at-midnight tradition (nothing says Christmas like the Pope on a coin-operated TV next to stuffed wildlife). They also tackle the other big holiday tradition: lying to children about Santa. Beneath the jokes, the twins land somewhere sweet: reminding us why we endure the stress, the chaos, the baking, and the lies: because Christmas, at its best, is wonderful. If your holiday season is equal parts magic and madness, cookies and crying, Mariah and mayhem, welcome home! And welcome to The Best We Can Do!
