- Was Dracula the musical a good idea? One host thinks it was and calls it a favorite part and a billion dollar idea; the origin story recited is that Segel wanted the Dracula puppet musical to be the movie and Apatow told him it was not a movie but a funny part in his movie, effectively Segel putting out that he wanted to be the Muppets guy, which worked out, even though he also wanted to show his dick.
- The puppet musical could have had a chance; the low-key funny part is that Peter is not Mozart, it is a weird bad idea most significant others would not get, yet it is relatable for anyone of a certain age into Stephen Sondheim and the Muppets who wants to work in Hollywood; the dark gothic Neil Diamond line recalls the super in Big Lebowski inviting people to his interpretive dance, and everybody in LA has a weird idea that sometimes becomes really successful.
- Did Rachel and Peter stay together? Probably not: she is back in Hawaii within three months, or her ex-boyfriend shows up in LA and murders both of them and Animal Instincts investigates; Animal Instincts ran about four and a half seasons, three years on NBC and one more on Fox after cancellation, not enough for residuals.
