Guest stars Alexandra Barreto (Linda Cortez) and Wayne Duvall (John Grimes) appeared on The District (2000), playing ex-hooker "Maria Rodriguez" and uniformed sergeant "Phillip Brander", respectively. This episode was written by Peter M. Lenkov who served as a producer and assistant head-writer on that series.
The opening wrestling scene is an homage to the one in Stripes (1981) wherein John Candy's character, Ox, volunteers to mud wrestle women.
