Notes
ADD NOTES
- Instead of the regular end credits, we have a scene with Bill meeting Al Roker (although he claims he isn't). Edit
- Jimmy jokingly accuses Dave of growing up in Canada. Ten episodes from now we will learn that Dave actually was born in Canada (just like Dave Foley). Edit
- WNYX has a completely new conference table. Undoubtedly there to replace the one accidentally burned by Matthew at the end of the previous episode Led Zeppelin II. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Jimmy: How was Ohio? Dave: Wisconsin, sir. Jimmy: Aw, same thing. Dave: The heartland appreciates your support, sir. Edit
- Dave: You must have some skeletons in your closet. Jimmy: Hell, I've got skeletons running around raiding food from the fridge, it's like a skeleton convention in there. Edit
- (Dave tries to talk to Matthew but starts laughing at his moustache) Dave: I'm sorry Matthew, I can't pretend that's not there. Matthew: If you were a chick, you wouldn't be giggling. Dave: If I were a chick, I wouldn't be talking to you. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The line, "My Maserati does 185" is indeed from the song "Life's Been Good", written by Joe Walsh and performed by The Eagles. It is one of the band's most popular live songs, although it is curious why Mr. James wants to use it for his campaign, since the song is a slyly ironical farce about the excesses of fame. Edit
- It has been alluded to several times that Mr. James was Deep Throat. The real Deep Throat was revealed in mid 2005 to be W. Mark Felt, 2nd man in the FBI. Edit
