Tensions arose between Todd and Harvey when they both revealed their different plans for Julie's birthday celebration.

, 51, wanted the family to go out for a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant, while Harvey was hoping to have a more "traditional" celebration with a barbecue at home.

When Harvey shared his plans, Todd replied: "That's not what she would want and she won't want to cook on her birthday."

Harvey responded: "She wouldn't have to cook. I'd take care of it."

Todd said: "I appreciate and respect that, but I would never have my guests come into town and have to slave over a stove to put a meal together."

Todd, his 24-year-old son Chase and Harvey later went to the restaurant for a tasting.

At the restaurant, Harvey explained that "barbecue was something we did for Julie's birthday was she was younger."

He added: "She loved it."

Todd said: "I love barbecue, but I want your daughter to have the best that I can get her."

Harvey said the restaurant's food had "a wonderful presentation," but was "over the top."

Todd argued: "I know what your daughter likes now because, after all, I have been married to her longer than she was at home with you."

In a separate interview with Chase, Todd said: "My relationship with Harvey is somewhat complex.

"He has been absolutely an amazing father-in-law. He's never meddled in my marriage, but he is the most stubborn, self-centered human being that I've ever known in my life."

Chase responded: "That is you for me."
