Notes
- Trivia
- This episode threw a wrench into Grady's journey to salvation. This was done because AIO team thought that his spiritual journey was just too easy. They wanted to show that when accepting Jesus, hardships could take place.
- Wooton describes himself as being "in like." Eugene uses this exact expression when talking to Jimmy and Curt in #117: “The Trouble with Girls”.
- Allusions
- The Pool Boys' name may be a spoof of The Beach Boys. They were inspired by a show Marshal Younger created in his younger years in which every episode ended with him putting his head under the water.
- The auctioneer says that a particular statue was created by Jacques Cartier, a Breton explorer.
- Goofs
- Although in this episode Wooton's father's name is Winston, in #516: “Bassett Hounds” his name was "Winslow."
