Trivia
- In the previous podcast, the crew explains that, as announced during Desert Bus 2009, LRR shorts will be hosted on the Escapist Magazine instead of Loadingreadyrun. As a result, they explained, cHUSTLE will be slightly altered, to avoid baffling or intimidating potential fans from the Escapist. This video is the first in the new format.
- The video's title does not contain "CommodoreHUSTLE".
- It is much shorter than earlier commodoreHUSTLE videos.
- Nods to continuity and other fanservice are made approachable (more so than usual).
- References to past videos include:
- The cold open is an inversion of the one from Laundry, which was also a season opener.
- Graham doesn't want to move in with Morgan due to his treatment of kitchenware, depicted in Moving Out.
- Matt's resentment against Blu-Ray comes from Format War.
- Matt plans to give Paul his PS3, even though he has one already, mentioning that if he got another he'd have three.
- Previously, Graham's LRR forum avatar came from this episode: a looping .gif of himself devouring the muffin and rubbing it into his face, with "NOM NOM NOM" crawling past.
