Jerome starts to point out that he won a bronze medal in track and field during the 1984 Olympics, although he is cut off by Peter who insist on telling his Rocky story before he can explain why he only has half of the medal.
Paralleling the film Rocky, Peter tells of growing up an Italian tough guy, with dreams of becoming a professional boxer. He works his way through the ranks with Lois filling the Adrian role, until he finally gets a chance at the champion. He fights him to an eventual draw and then later on explains that he did win the championship outright, before dying in a vat of cream cheese. Joe points that he doesn't believe any of the stories are true and briefly discusses his participation in the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship.
