• The video was a fun collaboration with the Minnesota Wilderness Tier II junior ice hockey team who play in the North American Hockey League (NAHL), and was shot in their home rink, the Northwoods Credit Union Arena in Cloquet, Minnesota.

• Mark Williams, Marky (the goon), is actually a good hockey player. He comes from a hockey family. His dad, Butch Williams, played in the NHL in the 70s for the St. Louis Blues, California Golden Seals, and the Edmonton Oilers. And his uncle Tommy ‘the bomber’ Williams played in the 60s-70s for the Boston Bruins, Minnesota North Stars, Golden Seals, Whalers and the Capitals. He also won a gold medal with team USA in the 1960 Olympics, and in 1981 he was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Butch and Tommy were the first American brothers to play in the NHL.

• Cory Coffman actually recorded the drums on this song, and since they didn’t have a drummer yet for the filming of this video, they asked Cory’s brother Chris to pretend to play the drums. Chris was already cast to be the referee, and was happy to be the ‘drummer’ too. He’s a good sport and always down for a good time, and never afraid to look stupid. Fat Earth loves you Baby Ish.

• The ‘pizza drop on the floor’ scene was not planned, that was just Mark in his natural habitat. Actually, all of the pizza shop scenes were improvised. Who knew that Marky was such a genius?! Remember, you saw him here first!

• The old-time sounding radio broadcast of a hockey game in the pizza shop is actually Cory’s incredible voice acting.

• Lead Guitarist Josh Mutchler (Tubbs) was not able to make the video shoot because he used up all of his vacation days at work for fishing – he has a problem. Marky was his sub, playing the hockey stick. There’s a picture of Josh in the video with a note ‘Gone Fishin’ in front of the bass drum in the ‘band in bathroom’ shot. Initially there was going to be a close-up of this, but it was decided that it seemed too much like he died, so it was not included. Even though he was ‘dead’ to the band that day.. JK love you Josh.

• There was a lot of unscripted chaos/fun on ice with the Wilderness players, and in the pizza shop, that did not make the video. It was realized too late that the song should have been 10 minutes long to fit all the fun in! Oh well… maybe we’ll do an alternate cut some day. 

• Marky broke his stick on the first try, Cory asked him to, but no one else knew that was planned and so everyone there absolutely erupted when that happened!
