The Best We Can Do

Twice Upon A Time

Childhood memories are strange little creatures. Some get warmer with time. Some get weirder. And some involve hot spaghetti crimes that probably still haunt innocent civilians decades later. In this nostalgic (and often ridiculous) episode, Brett and Royce head back to childhood to share the stories that shaped them. They share everything from magical fishing trips and surprise Christmas boxes to nuclear war anxiety, Cub Scout catastrophes, and the unforgettable trauma of accidentally watching the worst possible movie with their mother. Along the way, they explore how memory changes over time and how moments can last a lifetime with the help of a green book. Plus, everyone’s favorite segment returns with a brand-new installment of “That’s My Myrna!” as the twins call their mom to share her own hilarious memories of raising them. Warm, hilarious, personal, and occasionally alarming, “Twice Upon a Time” is a celebration of family memories, flawed storytelling, and the strange magic of growing up. Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Royce-enomics

What if your worst financial decisions were simultaneously brilliant and ridiculous? In Royce-enomics, Royce introduces his long-mocked “economic theory” that insists if you spend less than you could have, you’re basically turning a profit (you’re welcome, Nobel committee). From an ill-fated giant ladder purchase to a surprise TV that may or may not have been approved by his husband, Royce makes his case with unwavering confidence. Meanwhile Brett does what any good brother would do: lovingly dismantle it piece by piece while mocking him mercilessly. Along the way, they spiral into debates about “good money vs. bad money,” the true cost of burritos delivered to your face, and why nobody is comfortable talking about money, even though we’re all thinking about it constantly. Beneath the jokes (and light theft of office supplies), there’s something real here: how we justify our choices, how we define “need,” and how money quietly shapes our lives in ways we rarely admit out loud. Are you saving money… or just telling yourself a great story?  But most importantly: you’re MAKING money on this episode! Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Return of Twinterview

The twins sit down for another episode of Twinterview, asking each other questions about all kinds of topics. And oh boy, does it get deep. In “Return of Twinterview,” Brett and Royce revive one of their most beloved formats, only this time the questions go deeper, stranger, and occasionally way off the rails. One minute they are celebrating unsung heroes, and the next they are debating issues involving Jabba the Hutt. Naturally. But underneath the jokes, something real sneaks in. Conversations about fear, legacy, and what it means to be remembered take center stage, revealing a level of vulnerability that neither brother fully planned but are fully ready to share. It is funny, it is heartfelt, and it is unmistakably them: a mix of absurd hypotheticals, sibling roasting, and genuine love. Because sometimes the best way to understand someone is to ask the question you were not sure you should ask. Learn more about them as they learn more about each other.

The Advice Desk

What happens when you ask two opinionated twin brothers for advice? Chaos. In “The Advice Desk,” Brett and Royce open the floodgates to listener questions from around the world, ranging from the deeply meaningful to the delightfully absurd. We share book recommendations that spiral into literary judgment, a heartfelt conversation about supporting a loved one with an illness, and a surprisingly intense debate about whether an iPhone belongs in the bedroom (you will definitely have an opinion on this one). Along the way, they tackle unwanted small talk, vacation strategy (including the concept of “time friends”), and the eternal mystery of enjoying exercise. And just when you think it couldn’t get better, they include a segment of “That’s My Myrna” with their mom! The twins’ mother joins the show to deliver wisdom, warmth, and a gentle reminder that you do not owe anyone an apology for living your life well. Underneath the jokes, though, is something real: how we care for each other, how we set boundaries, and how we figure out what actually works for us. Take the advice…or absolutely do not. Trust your judgment.  Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Service...With A Smile

What does it really mean to be “of service”? Is it sacrifice? A job? A mindset? Or just…putting your grocery cart back like a decent human being? In this episode, Brett and Royce take on the big, messy, deeply human idea of service, sparked by an unexpected Lyft ride with a Marine named Joe (who, naturally, arrived five minutes early and ended up changing Brett’s outlook on life). From there, the twins explore service in all its forms: military, teaching, parenting, public service, and the often-overlooked dignity of everyday work. Along the way, they wrestle with what counts as real service (looking at you, politicians), whether “thank you for your service” actually means anything, and why failing to bag your own groceries is a moral failing. Beneath the laughs, there is something deeper: a belief that, despite everything, people still want to take care of each other (even if we do it imperfectly). Also, seriously—return your cart.
