Trivia[]
- This is the first episode of a few things:
- The first production to mention Bumblyburg since LarryBoy and Awful Alvin's Grudge and the first time when it is mentioned outside of a LarryBoy episode since A Tale of True Courage.
- The first production to acknowledge a kid's home city and state together since Noah's Ark.
- The first episode of the podcast where Bob and Larry do not do a summary of the segments and special guest.
- The first production to mention Aunt Ruth since Minnesota Cuke and the Coconut Apes.
- The first production where someone other than Bob or Larry says "God Made You Special, and He Loves You Very Much" (or at least part of it) since A Tale of True Courage and the first time someone says the entire line since Little Ones Can Do Big Things Too!. In this case, Mr. Lunt is the one who says this line, although this is only when he translates his hyena friends.
- The first episode of the podcast to not feature a song (not counting the theme song).
- The first episode to have a location featured in this episode as the sponsor (not counting Making and Being Friends).
- This is the shortest episode of the podcast series, running for a total of 17 minutes.
- This episode was released exactly 11 years after 25 Favorite Silly Songs!
Remarks[]
- For unknown reasons, there is no song featured in this episode. This may explain the episode’s 17-minute runtime.
Inside References[]
- When Bob and Larry talk to Tyson about joy, they bring up the story of Paul and Silas, which was previously adapted in A Lifetime Supply of Joy.
Real-World References[]
- Joy the Weatherperson could be a likely nod to a character with a similar name from the 2015 Disney/Pixar animated film, Inside Out.
