The Best We Can Do
The Best We Can DoBetter Living Through CancerIn this episode, Brett and Royce tackle The Big C (yes, that one) with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Drawing from their own diagnoses, personal history, and years spent living alongside cancer, the twins talk openly about the fear, the awkward conversations, and the moments no one prepares you for.They share stories of telling people the hard news, navigating wildly inappropriate medical moments, and discovering that “gallows humor” can be both a coping mechanism and a lifeline. Along the way, they uncover some surprising upsides: unexpected kindness, deep gratitude, and the strange joy of b...

The Best We Can DoParental Guidance, SuggestedParenting: one brother does it, one brother does not, and both have opinions!In this episode, Brett and Royce take on parenting with honesty, intensity, and plenty of laughs. Brett shares what it is really like raising kids, from firm boundaries and formal titles to the terrifying emergence of his alter ego, “Mama Bear.” Royce brings his perspective as a proud non-parent, offering observations about why kids act the way they do and demonstrating why he has no business being a parent in the first place. Together they tackle “friendship parenting,” discipline strategies, and developing “the look.” The epis...

The Best We Can DoFifty Shades of GreysInspired 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 k...

The Best We Can DoThe Mimosa MonologuesArmed 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!

The Best We Can DoTwinter WonderlandBrett 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 endur...

The Best We Can DoBursting Your BubbleBrett swears he’ll keep a story short (Royce knows better), then recounts a night at a tiny bar in Sullivan County, PA that turns into a masterclass in seeing the best in all people. Expect the Western-saloon record scratch, a surprise round of drinks from a stranger, a tipsy sing-along to the Gatlin Brothers, and that sweet moment when the jukebox hits play and the whole room feels lighter. From there, the twins tussle over the Golden Rule (spoiler alert: Royce hates it) and unpack how assumptions harden when we only live inside our own safe, familiar bubbles. Th...

The Best We Can DoTwin PeeksYou asked, they answered. Brett and Royce finally tackle the question they’ve been asked more than any other: “What’s it like being a twin?” From who’s “older” (by a tragic 13 minutes) to mistaken identity punches and one disastrously fake red-carpet appearance, the brothers share the myths, mix-ups, and magic of twinhood. Along the way, we learn about “same thing, different color” childhood fashion trauma, a possibly psychic nosebleed, and why Brett owes Clarabelle an apology. Beneath the laughs, this episode lands somewhere tender: what it means to be known so deeply that words aren’t needed (no, not psychic, jus...

The Best We Can DoMr. Fancy PantsThis one’s a showdown between Brett’s love of dinner jackets, fine wine, and French cuisine and Royce’s deep devotion to hoodies, free refills, and restaurants with pictures in the menus. The twins relive dueling graduation dinners: Maison Robert’s coq au vin vs. Bugaboo Creek’s animatronic bison. They then spiral into first-class vs. coach, bibs vs. no bibs, and whether a tablecloth is a promise or a threat. Along the way they discuss their childhood home decorated with aggressively posed taxidermy, a tie-tying confession (hello, half-Windsor), and a spirited debate about formal vs. informal language…plus selecti...

The Best We Can DoTwinterviewBrett and Royce turn the mics on each other for a no-prep, anything-goes interview that ranges from childhood selves to the state of humanity (plus a detour through state capitals and the mystery 13th apostle). You’ll hear Royce unpack social anxiety, curiosity, and why people are somehow both fragile and resilient, while Brett debates whether the world got ruder or we just got wi-fi. The brothers talk candidly (and darkly amusingly) about their parallel cancer journeys, including the infamous PSA 940 vs. “Five” reveal and chemo room comedy that didn’t always land. Expect warm brotherly love, gentle (ok, mostly g...

The Best We Can DoThe Best We Can Do Origin StoryLet’s eavesdrop on our first conversation with Brett and Royce! In this breezy premiere, Brett and Royce introduce themselves with equal parts affection and roasted honest. They each offer a heartfelt compliment, then a merciless “growth opportunity.” Listen for their origin-story moment (which involves eavesdroppers in Wine Country), sibling banter that swings from warm to wicked, and the real, quietly present reality that both brothers are living with cancer, a truth they treat with blunt humor and tenderness. Expect jokes, dad-bragging, stubbornness, and a surprisingly earnest reason they decided to make time for each other. If you like family...
