It may seem funny, but such things make you wonder why they happen. In his case, his remark might mean distancing himself from his father by referring to him using indirect distant reference, utilizing his wife as a medium. This could signifies unstable relation between him and his father.
Another plausible interpretation is that he doesn’t want to look privileged and that his family doesn’t get help to have reached what they have currently. Saving face is just as important as your wealth, maybe even more so.
Another could be he’s just dense, but that is unlikely, given the whole context, situation and setting.
At my own wedding rehearsal dinner my mother introduced herself as “wife’s future mother in law” and also as my mother. She meant it in that order, too.
In French “Beau père” refers to either the father of your wife or the man your mother remarried. A french speaker would easily make that mistake in English.
But he doesn’t sound french and acknowledged his mistake …
My wife’s father in law was also my roommate for 18 years, he was pretty bossy
“👀……ya?”
Bro had to calculate that one out
My wife’s father-in-law, is it your dad or her boyfriends dad?
I assume they had asked how his wife had access to precision parts?
Dw, I was explaining to a friend the other night how I had to go to my brothers daughters birthday…
when people ask how good your relationship with your father is
He found a loophole around bragging about his dad’s business.
Did he mean his father in law? I can’t imagine he would refer to his Dad as his wife’s father in law.
“Yeah, but he hates when I call him that.”
Edit: spelling
It’s just the father of his wife’s boyfriend
He probably thinks it’s a coincidence.

I’m the shark in those scenarios. A coworker said “the supervisor blah blah blah” and I say, “you mean YOUR MOM?!”

Reminds me when I was a kid and referred to my uncle’s wife as my aunt-in-law and everyone thought it was funny.
Is my wife’s sister’s husband’s father my wife’s father-in-law? Or is that something else?
…when you’re paid by minute of air-time.
Anyone have the full clip?
He probably meant her stepdad.
Trying to hide the fact that he wouldn’t be there without daddy’s money
I’m going to say this from now on any time I reference my dad in conversation.
Technically if his wife was married before and had a first FIL this could work
My dad once described me and my husband as “My son-in-law and his wife”
EXCUSE ME?!
I do stuff like this all the time…my bad assholes
Well, he disowned ME but my wife’s still on good terms with him.
Lol. Nerves.
He ends up clarifying, he misspoke and just meant his wife’s father, so his Father-in-law
Kevin o leary is the only reason I watched that show
when the essay has a word requirement.
At least he’s pretty…
This is like the 30 Rock episode with John Hamm where everyone let’s him get away with everything stupid because he’s good looking.
I’m self made. That’s why js speak in riddles…
Why do people have a problem with him marrying his sister? I guess the family is OK with it.
I got a small loan from my wife’s father in law….
Hmmn, where have we heard that one before… LOL
