• Growing the Beard: Parker and Stone realized with this episode that the show could carry basic, straight-forward concepts that only focused on one event with a minimum of characters, without subplots or a huge cast of characters.
• What Could Have Been: Russell Crowe stated that he would have been perfectly happy to play himself in the episode had he only been asked.
• Write Who You Know: Trey Parker and Matt Stone are good friends of Russell Crowe and were invited to a listening party of his first album, which both of them hated.
