-Hello Benner family.
-Wow. You’re not a mom.
-Steven, we’re not going to do that today.
-What you doing, Steven?
-Feeding the goats.
-Oh my God, look at you! Thank you.
See? Thank you.
-There you go, goats, you are welcome.
-[inaudible 00:00:35], thank you.
-For what? -Thank you. Thank you.
It’s okay. He’s thanking them, and you know,
it’s fair enough for me. You’re welcome.
To bring neglectful dad Michael closer to Madison,
Kirsten arranges for him to spend quality time
with his daughter instead of paying someone to do it for him.
-Put them on you.
-You can’t move.
-Yuck. Gross.
-I’ll be honest, you know where we do spa day?
Four Seasons, the Ritz Carlton,
but that’s just, you know, that’s what we do.
-I can take the tub away, and then you can massage her feet.
-Okay, lift your feet up. -Lift your feet up.
-All right, hold still, madame.
-Stop it.
-I have to massage your feet.
-I don’t want you to call me madame, that’s all.
-Oh. How’s that feel?
-Ah!
-Smell the oils. Woo! You smell like oil.
-I think Michael bonding with his daughter is really
important. I think all of this is actually just a really
good reminder of what he already knows deep down.
-How was that massage?
-Can you say, "Thank you daddy"?
-Thank you, dad.
-What do you say to Miss Kirsten?
-Thank you. - You’re welcome.
-That’s good stuff, Huh?
Maddie seems like she enjoyed the day.
I mean, this is the happiest I’ve seen her.
I think I think it was fun, it was cool.
-I’m going to create a little fun today and have a blast.
Sometimes it’s fun just to have fun.
Welcome to the Benner challenge.
The game I have in mind for the Benner family
is an indoor dodgeball.
-Blackout, are you ready? -Yes!
-[inaudible 00:02:17], are you ready?
-Yes!
-Action! Oh, he went with the big ball first!
The red ball’s coming in! You can [inaudible 00:02:24]!
-It’s like you’re free.
I’m not supporting a whole world of education.
-Yeah.
-I just can put that down.
-Oh, he throws three of them!
-Pick up a ball of fun, and start eating it.
-Time’s a-clicking! Oh, yeah!
-I wasn’t really expecting dad to get that much into it,
but he really started acting kind of like a kid.
-What I like about this game is that
I’m doing this with my kids.
-Victorious! High five.
Only one on kitchen duty, respecting Misty’s rules,
Jason is about to cook dinner for the family.
-We-’re doing shrimp tacos, and some rice and beans.
-Ready.
-One of my new rules is Jason cooking,
because I want him to just take responsibility here.
He’s maybe more being a dad. All right, Rachel Ray.
-She don’t do it like me, baby.
-Is this weird to be in the kitchen
with your dad cooking like this?
-Yes. -Yes.
-Me and Misty, we kind of got a playful friendship.
-Okay, just open that can of beans right there.
We may not have beans.
-Oh, this ain’t working baby. Beans? You want those beans?
-I really want these,
but I don’t want you to hurt yourself, so ...
-If you want those beans,
my make believe wife wants some damn beans?
She going to get some beans today.
-Are you proud of yourself?
-Ooh, I am! That looks good.
-Now, doesn’t this make you feel good?
-It does.
-I mean, your family is about to eat this.
That’s gotta make you feel a little prideful there.
Since Halani couldn’t be here tonight,
I thought I would invite Halani’s mom
and Jason’s mom over to eat.
We’re all at the table for the first time,
they have never ate at this table before,
so hopefully that is something they’ll continue to do
is have family meals at the dining table.
-I can’t believe you actually did this, Jason.
-Not Bad.
