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.

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?

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.

Snow days have a way of slowing everything down. School gets canceled, schedules disappear, and suddenly all you want is something warm, familiar, and incredibly comforting.

So that’s exactly what we did.

This week on The Best Things, we’re talking comfort food. The kind of food that feels like a blanket. The meals that show up when it’s cold outside and everything inside just wants to settle down. We debate the best cold-weather comfort foods that are warming, nostalgic, and undeniably delicious. From classics that remind you of home to heavy hitters that just make winter better, we break it all down and put them head-to-head to figure out what truly deserves the title of Best Comfort Food.

If you’ve been snowed in, stuck at home, or just craving something cozy, this episode is for you.

Grab a bowl, plate, or spoon and let’s decide what really wins when the weather turns cold.

What do Smurfs, blueberries, blue jeans, and the Detroit Lions all have in common? They’re blue. But which blue thing reigns supreme?

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the color blue. We debate the most iconic, useful, nostalgic, and downright elite blue things across food, nature, pop culture, technology, and more. As always, things get heated, opinions get strong, and logic occasionally gets thrown out the window.

After arguing our cases, we lock them into a full tournament bracket where only one blue thing can take home the crown. Will it be something classic? Something unexpected? Or something that absolutely should not win but somehow does?

Press play, pick sides, and let us know which blue thing you think deserves the title.
