Wade Episode 16 of Family Guy season 23 (S23E16), the 442nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mike Desilets and directed by Julius Wu. First broadcast on 3 July 2025. ## Story Talked into auditioning for The Price is Right, Brian wins a boat and lets it go to his head. To prove he has a conscience he names it Row v. Wade and starts carrying women from Texas north for legal abortions. Meanwhile a version of the artist Banksy paints Peter's face while he lies in a drunken coma, and Peter takes work as a museum exhibit before agreeing to be auctioned. Lois defaces him, which the artist declares was the point, and Carter buys him anyway. Meg tells Brian he owes forty thousand dollars in tax on the boat. He considers collecting bounties on his passengers, then gives up the boat. ## Facts | Fact | Detail | | --- | --- | | Season | 23 | | Episode | 16 of 18 | | Overall | No. 442 | | Code | S23E16 | | First aired | 3 July 2025 | | Directed by | Julius Wu | | Written by | Mike Desilets | | Source | Wikipedia: Family Guy season 23 | | IMDb | tt36842966 | | Verification | Checked against IMDb: title, year, numbering and credits agree | | US viewers | 0.43 million | ## Voices | Voice | Characters | | --- | --- | | Seth MacFarlane | Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin | | Alex Borstein | Lois Griffin | | Seth Green | Chris Griffin | | Mila Kunis | Meg Griffin | | Mike Henry | Interviewer | | Patrick Warburton | Joe Swanson | | Arif Zahir | Cleveland Brown | | Travis Bowe | Boat Instructor | | Steve Callaghan | Guest #3 | Principal voice credits as recorded by IMDb, which lists up to ten credits per episode, so recurring characters can be missing here.
