Potato Salad Marmalade

How does a child learn about zombies? Well, sometimes it's movies or books, maybe even from friends. In this case, Dad takes will have to take the fault. Good thing Carter is fascinated...and knows waaaaay too much already.

On this week's show, Carter and Shawn get back into the groove by talking gross meals. Who really wants to relive a terrible meal that they remember? These guys do. Also, the youngest among us will be answering thought-provoking questions about animal presidents and, get this, if they could be in the circus.

Holy cabooses!

After Carter tries to help Shawn clean his office, both of the guys are mysteriously sucked into the video game world of the Sega Genesis that Dad received for his birthday last year. Can they escape the clutches of this scary, but awesome, adventure? What perils await? Does NBA Jam make an appearance? Will there be "boomshakalaka?" Also, can YOU think of three uses for butter that aren't culinary? Carter can! Fascinated yet?  You should be. All this and more on this week's show!

When you get a chance to speak with a world-famous astronaut (and the creator of chickens) you have to jump at the opportunity. We were able to get Jeffrey the Astronaut in a studio (read: Dad's office) for a 2-on-1 interview that really touched on a variety of topics from poultry to moon cheese to Neptune's pools. It's pretty comprehensive if we do say so ourselves. Let's see what Danny Bonaduce has to do with the show this week as well!

Daddy's bit off a bit more than he can chew. Carter says he's just not that funny and that his "Dad bod" just isn't up to snuff anymore. Can Shawn outwit the Bubba at a game called "Make Me Laugh Joke-off" or will his "200 Jumping Jack Challenge" be where his redemption lies? All this and a question from outer space on this week's episode of Potato Salad Marmalade.

This week was Dad's birthday and he got everything he wanted: a nice time with his family. (Cue the "awwwws" now!)

After the cake has been cut and the presents were handed out, how else could Shawn connect with his "main man?" With two things that help him connect with his childhood: Mad Libs and silly rhetorical questions! Imagination is the best.

Lovable Nintendo Wii-living Frenchman S.Hawn S.Mith makes an appearance (don't let Dad know about the "Bro Court" thing - he still isn't aware!)

On this week's show, Shawn and Carter discuss the best season of all: Halloween. After decorating the family home, the boys chat about two spooky entities to see which they find scarier, ghosts or skeletons. Which would you pick? Also, Carter casually invents a new battle card game that all the kids will be playing this time next year before reviewing the new Disney+ show "Earth to Ned."

Whatever can he do? Carter has been called into "Bro Court" by Vicious Andy Licious as the result of his banana bake choices from several weeks back. Now we will know which type of banana baked good will prevail as best in the eyes of the magistrate of Bro Court, the honorable S.Hawn S.Mith. Can Carter put up a convincing argument? Will Vicious Andy win out?

Also, Carter reviews "Girl vs. Monster," a cute little Disney flick that he watched. Hear him break down what he did or didn't like. Spoiler: Shawn thinks all of these kids are the type of teenagers Carter needs to befriend one day.

All this and more on this week's Potato Salad Marmalade.

The boys (Shawn and Carter) talk happiness and what they love the most (some sweet answers!) and we'll introduce you to the man, the myth, the legend: Christopher Pickles.
