The Best Things

Ever wonder why we say things like “raining cats and dogs” or “break the ice”? In this episode, Craig and Aaron dig into the wild, weird, and sometimes downright hilarious origins behind everyday phrases we all use without thinking. From ancient naval slang to Shakespearian leftovers, we uncover where these sayings actually came from—and question why we’re still saying them.

Of course, along the way we also spiral into a few rants about modern Gen Z and Gen Alpha lingo that makes absolutely zero sense to us. What even is “skibidi”?

What is The Best Things?

Two guys searching for the best things in food, culture and entertainment. Each week, Craig and Aaron discuss and debate topics like "What is the Best Pizza Topping?", "Who was the best Batman?" and "Who is the best celebrity named Will?". Once they've narrowed it down, we throw them in a bracket style competition to determine which one is... The Best Thing!
