Story
Cutbacks at Peter's workplace mean one male employee must go, and the choice comes down to Peter and a colleague. The strain makes him black out, and in hospital Dr Hartman sets him up with a collection of yacht rock records to calm him. His friends take to the music as well, and the group books passage on a yacht rock cruise. Brian is put in a dog crate below deck. The captain leaves the bridge to spend time with Peter, and a rogue wave turns the ship over. Everyone makes for the thinnest part of the hull, meets Brian on the way, and then finds they have nothing to cut with. The predicament resolves in a cut to the family safely back at home.
