Hawaii Part 2 Album Art
The Hawaii Part 2 Album Art is actually really weird once you stop to really look at it.
Mucka Blucka Backstory
In this interview, Joe claims there was a song that was mostly swear words that got turned into another song. Many believe this song to be Mucka Blucka due to its satirical nature of 'nearly swearing but not' and the fact that it's an extra to MMMM.

Ross sings in AOHRD
The Apologue of Hot Rod Duncan is actually sung by both Ross and Joe. Joe sings into the right ear and Ross sings into the left. To only hear one, just remove a headphone/earbud.

Joe buys weed and hemlocks at the farmer's market
In the JHJH song Crazy F***, Joe mentions buying marijuana (1:57) and hemlocks (2:26). Marijuana was actually illegal in Michigan at the time, (legalised in 2018,) and hemlocks are extremely poisonous.
