When they meet their clients at a local skatepark, Ben Napier takes his first crack at crafting an impressive story behind his shoulder injury. Erin Napier informs them that she wasn't a stranger to skate ramps in high school, and Ben pipes up that it was actually a skateboarding injury that caused his shoulder issue. The clients don't seem totally convinced by his story, so later, the Scotsman Woodshop owner formulates another plan. "Fighting a bull in Tijuana?" he offers up. Creating a believable tale was the least of the couple's worries, though, because it was soon time for demolition day, and Ben was on strict orders not to worsen his injury.
Fortunately, the Napiers brought in a special guest to help with their project, especially because Ben's surgery took place only a few days into the reno. Though he divulged the real reason to the closest members of his team, he couldn't resist spinning a few more tales. "This weird wrestling match in Peru," Ben claimed to two members of the crew. And later, "We were camping with the girls [...] and a bear attacked, and I fought the bear off to protect my family."
Though we can't see Ben being part of a fight club south of the equator (the Napiers' rare vacation photo was from Maine), the dad of two fending off a bear is slightly more believable. The entire time, his loving and supportive wife just nodded along and let Ben have his fun.
