Tony also has a syndicated newspaper column in which he usually writes ironically about life from the viewpoint of a short, fat non-beauty, just like him. When Bernie teases Tony for always writing about his own appearance, he promises something different and comes up with the way his teenage daughter Megan treats her dad--as if--and lastly, even explicitly said, he knows nothing and is always wrong while 'even a broken-down clock is right twice a day'. When his wife Dana brings home a potential big-bucks sponsor for her zoo charity, Tony quickly chases him off by taking issue with the mere phrasing that he is 'surprisingly' funny and talented on his show. Tony's son Mickey, on the other hand, avoids all controversy, too absorbed by his studious reading to notice anything trivial, such as Dad attending his golf practice--except his mean kid sister Megan pinching him arm blue for not standing up for himself. Of course, Megan is livid to read Dad's funny piece, considering it an infringement on her privacy, as people get a clue about her underwear; she completely bans Dad from attending her soccer practices and games.
