At 8 minutes 50 seconds into the episode Paul (Paul Reiser) calls out to Mr. Wicker (Jerry Adler), who emerges from behind some stalks of corn. Paul then asks "Who's coming out next, Shoeless Joe?" This is a reference to the 1989 movie Field of Dreams.
Jerry Adler plays the part of Mr Wicker in this episode, along with eight others. Previously, in episode 2.1, Murray's Tale (1993), he played the role of Sgt. Panino.
