Suggested correction: Kankakee and most areas surrounding have sandy soil and some areas can look very desert like during a very hot dry season but the mountain in the background is what gives it away. Kankakee is very flat other than the landfills.

Factual error: Steve and Roger make a prank phone call to Tony Blair at 4:30 AM GMT during sunset in Virginia (EST/EDT); because of the 5-hour time difference (4 hours during Daylight Savings), it would be 11:30 PM or 12:30 AM in Virginia, which would be nighttime.
