      Alex Eusebio: [about his team's name] Our team name is the Cougars and we have our mascot. Ariane. You know, she's a mom. She's a little older than some of us. She's hot, you know, she works out, you know with the little shorts. and, like, yeah, she's on the prowl.

    • Alternate versions
      The digital platforms muted Foo Fighters performing "Times Like These" and the track in the episode was replaced by generic music.
