During the "Son of Sam" discussion Newman says, "I took over his route. And boy, were there a lot of dogs on that route." When Earl replies, "Any of 'em talk to you?" he is making a reference to when David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) made the claim that he was commanded to kill by his landlord's evil dog.
Goofs
When Earl accused Kramer of cheating, he tore up the traveler's checks, which would be like tearing up cash.
