| 0:00.0 | Stepping into the kitchen was one of my favorite things, and I didn't actually care about it at all. |
| 0:05.9 | I didn't even know how to make toast like five years ago until I started really stepping into this whole mentality of like a family team. |
| 0:16.8 | What's up, guys? Welcome to Five Minute Fatherhood. |
| 0:19.1 | So one of the things that we have heard a lot from mothers and wives in this season, Jeff put out an amazing, just a forum on, I think, Instagram and he got hundreds and hundreds of responses. |
