- | * | + | *"Fishing with John" was a satirical fishing show starring, written, and directed by independent musician [[Wikipedia:John Lurie|John Lurie]], known for both its interesting selection of guest stars (including director [[Wikipedia:Jim Jarmusch|Jim Jarmusch]]) and very dry sense of humor. It only ran for 6 episodes and is considered something of a cult classic. |
- | + | *Mike mentioning he'd like to reuse the lake is foreshadowing for [[montage]], when he finally would use the scene again. Montage was released in the short time after this commentary was recorded, and before the box set of [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]]s were released. | |
