	Season 3 / Episode 9: - Retreat To Move Forward Toofer: You know, there's a conspiracy theory that, after the civil war, the U.S. government spread false information about diabetes to keep the newly-freed slaves sluggish and docile, which is why, to this date, most African Americans don't understand that diabetes is caused by sleeping on your back.
	Season 3 / Episode 9: - Retreat To Move Forward Kenneth Parcell: You can't eat candy if you have diabetes. Tracy Jordan: There's no link between diabetes and diet. That's a white myth, Ken; like Larry Bird or Colorado.

TRIVIA

Frank's trucker heads say "Phase 3", "Feelin' it" and "Pinball Mechanic".
When Toofer replies ("... if you're nasty") to Jenna's request to be only addressed by the names Janis or Ms. Joplin, he references Janet Jackson (I)'s song "Nasty". It contains the lines: "No, my first name ain't baby / It's Janet - Miss Jackson if you're nasty."
