    Driving Me Crazy
    Gene Simmons didn't start driving until he was 35 years old and Nick is studying to get his driver's license. An admittedly horrible driver himself, Gene faces off against Nick in a driving test challenge, with the threat of having to humiliate himself in the middle of Beverly Hills if he loses. As his daughter starts to date, a nervous Gene insists that Shannon take their daughter to a self-defense course. The driving test and the self-defense course both prove painful for Gene, who learns that father doesn't always know best.

Gene wants two things - food and sex. Will the Demon get what he wants? Meanwhile, all hell breaks loose at home when crazy aunt Tracy baby-sits Nick and Sophie -- or is it the other way around?

  • Sexercise
    EPISODE 6
    Sexercise
    It's Career Week for Sophie Tweed-Simmons and her assignment is to tag along with Gene to work. It's a familiar assignment, but if your dad's Gene Simmons, expect the unexpected. Shannon is not too pleased to discover that Gene has taken their 13 year-old daughter to auditions for a sexy new exercise video called Sexercise. Shannon turns up the heat on the Demon and has Sophie talk with her dad about the birds and the bees. Sophie's talk provokes the rock star who's slept with 4600 women to prove that Gene Simmons and safe sex can be part of the same sentence, as he takes his shot at a PSA for Planned Parenthood. No sooner than he finishes the PSA, he is challenged to wrestle a reject from the Sexercise auditions as she calls him a sexist pig. He accepts the challenge only to find out that when he gets to Miss Kitty's night club it's... lube wrestling.
