Peter's mother starts dating newscaster Tom Tucker while Brian creates his own radio show, which Stewie turns into a raunchy, Howard Stern-esque broadcast.
----
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: If Tom Tucker really did become Peter’s dad, this would count when they’re having dinner together. Though he does apologize for it later.
* BaitAndSwitch: In a cutaway where Peter is warned to not watch the cursed VHS tape from ''Literature/TheRing'' as he will die, he dismisses it as a lot of baloney and puts it in the VCR... and it turns out to be the 1987 movie ''Film/{{Mannequin}}'', but [[TakeThat Peter dies from watching it anyway]].
* DastardlyWhiplash: Peter's evil brother Thaddeus.
--> '''Thaddeus:''' Nya! This will surely affect my inheritance. Nya!
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lampshaded by Peter after he keeps tickling Lois and she hits him with a frying pan.
* DumbassDJ: Weenie and the Butt. Later in the episode, Brian and Stewie become [[ShockJock shock jocks]], calling themselves Dingo and the Baby.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Lois whacks Peter in the face with a frying pan after he keeps tickling her.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Brian's exact reaction after Creator/GoreVidal (whom Brian had invited earlier when the radio show was a serious talk show) leaves in disgust after walking in on one of the "Dingo and the Baby" broadcasts.
* ParentWithNewParamour: The main plot centers on Peter's mother Thelma dating Tom Tucker, and Peter having to adjust to this.
* ShoutOut: The scene where Peter eats ice cream during dinner parodies ''Film/KramerVsKramer'', except there’s slapping involved from Tom Tucker.
* SuckinessIsPainful: PlayedForLaughs during one CutawayGag, in which Peter watches a "cursed" VHS tape and dies, ala ''The Ring'', but it's just the movie ''Film/{{Mannequin}}''.
