At Mark's house, Stevo is wearing a shirt with the cover of Naked Raygun's "Raygun... Naked Raygun" album on it. Naked Raygun was a band in 1985, but "Raygun... Naked Raygun" was their last album, and would not be released until 1990.

Stevo's father claimed to have gone to Woodstock. Stevo would have been born in approx. 1963 to have graduated high school in 1981. So his father would have had a six year old son while being a student at Harvard University.
