“It’s Like Living With Your Worst Internet Trolls” with The Sklar Brothers | 26

This week comedians Randy and Jason Sklar join Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…forget Bird-Magic or Yankees-Red Sox, nothing brings out the competitive spirit like a little sibling rivalry. This week is all about the pros and cons of encouraging competition in our kids. In Kurt’s house, it’s an old-fashioned race to see who can put their shoes on first. He is trying to teach his daughter, Olive, how to tie her shoes but entering the ring is challenger and younger brother Gus, who isn’t going to pass up the chance to prove that his shoe game is even tighter (even though they're just velcro, kiddo). The Sklar Brothers reminisce about their own upbringing and how, rather than compete against each other, their drive was used to push one another to excel and become famous comedians. But that success comes with a competitive price when their own kids want to stage hilarious family roast battles. Nothing like mom, dad, and the kids bonding over attempting to one-up each other in planting deep-seated hatred and installing a foundation for the years of therapy ahead. Game on!
