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!

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

It’s movie night on The Best We Can Do! Brett and Royce head to Hollywood (figuratively–we don’t have a travel budget) to talk about the magic, madness, and occasional disasters of the movies. But before long, the twins stumble into their classic debate: Brett loves films (serious, artistic, meaningful), while Royce proudly champions movies (popcorn, superheroes, and senseless violence). Naturally, chaos ensues.

Along the way they share their all-time favorites, spanning everything from nuclear war comedies, timeless camp classics, and the movie that made Royce love horror movies. They share the movies everyone else loves that they simply cannot stand (including one shocking confession that permanently damages the brothers’ respect for each other) and celebrate the joy of “so bad they’re good” classics (“Bring me the bore worms!” and “I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.”). Brett even invents a brand new movie genre!

There is Oscar talk, horror love, and an unforgettable childhood story involving how sleepwalking and bodily fluids came together to give a bad super hero movie a permanent nickname.

Because at the end of the day, movies are like people. Love what you love. Laugh about what you hate. And always enjoy the show.

It’s game time! What happens when the twins are handed random words and zero preparation? Chaos. Cinema references. Catholic guilt. And, somehow, emotional honesty.

In this audience-suggested episode from London’s own “Captain Good Times,” Brett and Royce pull words from a hat and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. One word leads to a shocking family confession about inheritance. Another goes full “Wizard of Oz” (because of course it does). One discussion reveals white-knuckle movie trauma and the daily anxiety of simply existing. And in yet another, let’s just say the gays and the parents both feel seen.

Along the way, there are tangents about refrigerator magnets, Cape Fear, spiders, social media, Catholicism, and whether bourbon should be considered a co-host. The surprise is not how different the brothers are, but how often their minds land in the same strange ballpark.

Free association turns into free therapy, and the result is funny, revealing, and just a little Jungian (Brett insists “Jungian” is a word). Play along with the brothers and enjoy listening to their mind games!

Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

In 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 being told “you look amazing” (we forgive you).

This episode does not minimize how terrifying cancer can be, but it makes space for laughter, love, and connection right alongside the fear. A reminder that there is no “right” way to go through something awful, only the way that helps you persevere and remain the best version of yourself…with a lot of help (and yes, even laughter) along the way. Welcome to The Best We Can Do!

Julia Sweeney’s Cameo message to Brett

Parenting: 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 episode also introduces a brand-new segment, “That’s My Myrna!”, featuring the twins’ mother, who delivers wisdom, stories, flying-slipper lore, and a deeply moving reflection on what it means to raise decent humans. It is funny, chaotic, and emotional (just like their mother).

It’s a love letter to parents doing the hard work now for the sake of the future. Welcome to The Best We Can Do!
