- The language and material that would not fly now, though it came out in 2007; MySpace also stood out. — Bill Simmons
- The Dan Patrick Show guy co-opting McLovin has always bothered one host; it belongs to Superbad. — Bill Simmons
- Rogue cops, entrapment and police brutality made more sense as a theme in 2007.
- Buying booze with a fake ID may be antiquated since Euphoria never mentions alcohol, only ketamine.
- Craig, 27, producing the pod, is asked about fake IDs; the answer is a best friend had one, fake IDs still circulate, and Euphoria is the least accurate high school depiction. — Bill Simmons
- One host would react to his son having a fake ID with pride, then pretend to be mad; he used a classmate's lost ID as "Bart Osmond" for two years, slouching to hide the height gap, until a Worcester state liquor store clerk sized him up. — Bill Simmons
- Long Island beer distributors sold to kids 80-90% of the time without fake IDs. — Sean Fennessey
- Working the door at the Middle East in Boston meant seeing lots of Hawaii IDs judged on the hologram; others had Maryland and Jersey IDs, and Rhode Island was the big one in the late 80s and early 90s. — Chris Ryan
- Kids with a lookalike older brother had it made; one host's brother used his IDs for years.
- High school movies rely on parents leaving for the weekend; a single mom going out and a friend, Jim Grady, whose mom was often at her New York City apartment made parties possible, like having a good big man in the NBA. — Bill Simmons
- Alcohol delivery now scans IDs, probably making it harder to buy liquor; the lube question for Ben gets the four-inch line as an answer. — Bill Simmons
