  • Early uses a wrench to unattach the red truck nut from his Truck-Boat-Truck.
  • Early calls Granny's gray truck nut a "pointless fad", which could most likely be a parody and stereotype of useless fad.
  • Early told Rusty to strap the truck nut on his own roller skates.
  • Lil mentions that "you know them guys don't like condoms", which indicates she had sex with another man (possibly another squid), who is never seen nor mentioned in the episode, and gave birth to the children seen in the episode, when she talks to Early.
    • Early mentions that he never used condoms.
  • Early mentions "double super bust", implying how Lil managed to give birth to all of her offspring.
