* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Homer visits Fairbanks, claiming he's a reporter for the local newspaper doing a story on people who wear sweaters. When visiting Fairbanks' boat, "The Son I Never Knew", Homer asks for details behind the name for his listeners. Fairbanks picks up on the use of the word "listeners" instead of "readers", and Homer then insists he works for a radio station, but then he refers to his audience as viewers. When Fairbanks calls him out for the inconsistency, Homer hesitates a bit before dropping all pretense and outright telling him, "I think you're my pappy!"
