The dates of events mentioned on Joe's radio:
- November 22, 1963 - John F. Kennedy assassination as announced by CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite
- October 30, 1938 - "War of the Worlds" broadcast was a radio play about the alien invasion of Earth that most listeners accepted as on-scene news reporting. The play was written by Orson Welles and produced at the Mercury Theater. The play itself was based on the novel by science-fiction writer H.G. Wells of the same name.
This episode was originally scheduled to air on 2/14/21 in the US but was preempted as a result of the Daytona 500 running overtime due to a five-hour rain delay.
None of the characters mention the fact that Quagmire already owns an extremely similar car to the one Joe's Uncle has bequeathed him.
