ALLUSIONS
Shawn and Gus return from playing racquetball - Racquetball is a racquet sport played with a hollow rubber ball in an indoor or outdoor court. Joseph Sobek is credited with inventing the modern sport of racquetball in 1950 in the US (the outdoor, one-wall game goes back to at least 1910 in N.Y.C.), adding a stringed racquet to paddleball in order to increase velocity and control. Unlike most racquet sports, such as tennis and badminton, there is no net to hit the ball over, and, unlike squash, no tin (out of bounds area at the bottom of front wall) to hit the ball above. Also, the court's walls, floor, and ceiling are legal playing surfaces, with the exception of court-specific designated hinders being out-of-bounds.
“Yeah, when we were 12, and I had pink eye.” - Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye or Madras eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). It is commonly due to an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial) or an allergic reaction.
“Because it's my strikeout pitch in wiffle ball.” - Wiffle ball is a variation of the sport of baseball designed for indoor or outdoor play in confined areas. The game is played using a perforated, light-weight, resilient plastic ball and a long, typically yellow, plastic bat. Since the invention of the ball in 1953, the game became popular nationwide by the 1960s, played in backyards and on city streets and beaches.

Jamba Juice was conceived and founded in April 1990 by Kirk Perron, an avid cyclist and healthy-lifestyle advocate who opened his first store in San Luis Obispo, California. He was joined in the business by three friends: Kevin Peters, Joe Vergara, and Linda Ozawa Olds. It was incorporated in 1990 as Juice Club, Inc. in San Luis Obispo.

CONTINUITY
As of this episode, Gus is 29 and he’s a few months older than Shawn. Now, based on this, what I said in the post about 1x10 “From the Earth to Starbucks”, is wrong. His mother had to have left when he was around 14. He was 18 when *he* left.
This is the first time Gus is mistaken for Bud from “The Cosby Show”
Though unseen, Shawn rides his motorcycle to the office as he walks in with his helmet
Mrs. Pickles is back! (1x03 “Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Piece”)
