Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When describing the card trick in this episode, Penn says that you should bribe your audience if necessary to get them to see the card trick. When he says this, the woman performing the trick is seen to mouth the words "I'll give you a blowjob". Edit
- The trick involving the Penn and Teller Cenotaph and the map that they show in this episode can also be found in the duo's book "Penn and Teller's How to Play in Traffic" under the name "The Eternal Card Trick". Edit
- A variant of Bach' "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" can be heard lightly playing in the background while Penn discusses the history of the "living room". Edit

ADD QUOTES- Penn: It may be hard to admit, but the dead are dead. Nothing you can do will please them. Ashes don't know if they're in a marble urn or an old Starbucks cup! The time to treat people right is when they're alive. A ham sandwich, a soda, and a joke now mean more to your loved ones than a 10,000 dollar coffin after they're dead. Edit
- Donald: If you're scared to death...of death, you know, you're just gonna sit in your house, underneath the covers and not enjoy anything that life does have to offer. Dark Rose: There are so many things in life that people overlook because they are walking around scared. Just really embrace life, and do what you want to do. Edit
- Penn: Buying a funeral is a lot like getting a prostitute: if you keep looking, you'll eventually find one who'll do what you want for the price you can afford. Edit
