The Best Things

Just Do It. I’m Lovin’ It. Think Different. Have It Your Way. Some brand slogans are so good, you don’t even need to hear the company name to know exactly who they belong to.

This week, Craig and Aaron are putting the greatest brand slogans of all time to the test. From fast food and soft drinks to cars, clothing, insurance, and everything in between, we’re breaking down the catchphrases that got stuck in our heads, became part of pop culture, and somehow convinced us to buy stuff.

But only one can be crowned the BEST brand slogan of all time.

Canada has been in the news a lot lately, so we figured it was time to turn our attention north of the border. This week, we’re ranking the best Canadian actors... or at least that’s where we started. Along the way, a few musicians and athletes sneak into the conversation, we discover just how many famous people we had no idea were Canadian, and ultimately decide which Canadian deserves the title of the Best Thing to come out of the Great White North.

Summer is almost over, so we’re talking about the best things to squeeze in before it’s gone... or at least that was the plan. Somewhere along the way, we realized we might actually hate summer.

From the heat and humidity to bugs, sunburns, yard work, and everything else working against us, we’re airing our summer grievances and finishing it all with a bracket to crown the official Worst Thing About Summer.

Every topic has a winner. Unfortunately, this one has a loser.

Today we’re firing up the grill and asking one of the most important questions in backyard cookout history: what is the best meat to grill?

Is it the classic hamburger? The dependable hot dog? A perfectly grilled steak? Brats? Chicken wings? Ribs? Pork chops? Shrimp? Or is there a sleeper pick that deserves way more respect at the cookout?

In this episode of The Best Things, Craig and Aaron debate the best grilled meats, break down the cookout classics, argue over backyard BBQ favorites, and try to determine which meat truly belongs at the top of the grill. From burgers and steaks to sausages, chicken, ribs, seafood, and more, we’re ranking the foods that make summer grilling, tailgates, cookouts, and backyard barbecues worth showing up for.

If you love grilling, BBQ debates, food rankings, summer cookouts, or just listening to two guys passionately overthink meat, this episode is for you.

Drop your pick in the comments: what is the best meat to grill?

This week, it’s Craig vs Aaron in the ultimate superhero team draft.

We each built a full team across 9 categories like Leader, Fast, Strong, Moral Compass, Specialist, Non-Human, Smart, Wildcard, and Villain… then put every single matchup head-to-head using a scoring system to determine a winner.

Some picks were obvious. Others… got debated way longer than they should have.

Who built the better team? And which categories ended up deciding it all?

This week, we’re going to space.

With Artemis II laying groundwork to send humans to the Moon again, we figured it was the perfect time to dive into one of our favorite movie categories… space movies.

From scientifically accurate survival stories to completely unrealistic explosions in zero gravity, we break down what makes a space movie great, what makes them ridiculous, and which ones actually hold up.

Along the way, we talk through some of the biggest titles in the genre, debate realism vs entertainment, and probably overreact to a few scenes that would never happen in real life.

Then, of course, we draft and battle it out to determine the BEST space movie of all time… and see if it has what it takes to take down our current champion.

If you’ve ever wondered how long you’d survive in space, or just love a good movie debate, this one’s for you.
