Old School vs New School: Was It Actually Better Back Then?

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.

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!
