Synopsis[]

Early’s DNA is finally put to good use.

Dan Halen Industries genetically engineers a chicken entirely made of wings.

Granny mentions "oh, we'll be ready when Katina gets up here". She is most likely a referring to a person or Hurricane Katrina, the latter is a hurricane that flooded the New Orleans in the year 2005.
- Early: "Hoist the jib!, Batten the mainsail!".
- Granny: "Aye-aye!".
- Early: "You saggy-ass bitch".
- Granny: "Aye-aye!".
In the wash room, two animal fossils, a head of a deer, and a dead purple squid are seen on the ground.
- The head of that deer and meat on the wall are reused from "Rebel with a Claus", which is most likely one of Santa's dead reindeer from that episode.
In one of Rusty's hallucinations, the nursing home from "This Show Is Called Squidbillies", "School Days, Fool Days", and "Asses to Ashes, Sluts to Dust" makes an actually appearance in the background. The chipmunk also puts leaves on Russell's head.
- The Sheriff's creepy face which appeared briefly in "A Sober Sunday" flashes onscreen for a few brief seconds in his hallucinations.
When Rusty's hallucinations end, a loud female scream is heard.
When Early blows up his house with gasoline, Granny is seen in the background, she most likely died in the explosion and fire.
Mary Kraft is credited for voicing Krystal in the episode despite not speaking any full lines of dialogue in the episode, although she is heard snoring and speaking gibberish in her sleep.

When Early and Rusty are teaching a chicken to lift weights, a song called "Heart Of Lighting" plays, which spoofs "Thunder in your Heart" by John Farnham.
- The song was later heard in the episodes "Gimmicky Magazine Show Spoof Parody About Dan Halen" and "Anabolic-holic" respectively.
Dan Halen mentions "time-travel Matrix" and lifts up a curtain to reveal a mirror to Early from the past, although he is probably referring to the Matrix films.
When the Reverend plays karaoke at Aint nothin but a wing, he sings Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog".
In the Gas Station bathroom, Granny mentions to Rusty when the lights turn off "and that's how I met your Grampy", which is most likely a reference to "How I Met Your Mother".
Rusty's Hallucinations make a reference to the phrase "the Birds and the Bees" with two birds and two bees falling in love with each other and three oak slugs having a threesome with each other.
