Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- It's interesting to note that when the clients are bending the rebar between them, even the hosts realize how dangerous it is. The viewer can see in a close-up that they aren't actually pushing directly into a piece of rebar with their necks, they're actually resting it on a folded piece of money on their necks. Edit
- Bumper Sticker seen on the wall in the Universal Remembrance University: "Shift Happens" Edit
- Dwoskin appears to inadvertently break the chair he's using as a prop when he demonstrates his method. Edit

Firewalk leader: For raising energy, we have a very interesting chant. It's Native American...it doesn't mean anything.
Penn: Nicely done. Just dismiss an entire language and culture. I guess all the windtalkers were just spouting gibberish. Edit - Penn: The Pat Allen Show has been brought to you by....ANXIETY!...CONFUSION!...and CHRONIC DEPRESSION! And now back to our regularly scheduled program. Edit
- Penn: Ah, poor Tina. She appears to have hit a bump in the road to Enlightenment...I'm speaking metaphorically of course. SHE'S HITTING A BOARD! Edit
