- Hostility on the Set: Paul Sr. and Paul Jr.'s fiery love-hate relationship is genuine and could make production for both OCC and the show a tense experience.
- During the memetic argument between the two, the chair thrown by Paul Jr. would have seriously injured a cameraman had the cameraman not instinctively pulled back in time.
- Once Paul Jr. formally left OCC, Paul Sr. began hounding the production team to try and keep those shooting at OCC from actually meeting those at PJD, out of fear that Paul Jr. might see what was going on OCC and use it to undermine OCC's business. The producers had to resort to surreptitious espionage-style meetings out of fear that Paul Sr. was keeping tabs on them.
- The bad blood between father and son was so bad that they couldn't be in each other's vicinity for years. The intro to the "Sr. vs. Jr." iteration of the show was accomplished by shooting the two separately and putting them in the same frame in post-production.
