An Easter Egg from the original movie. Obviously this story occurred before Stan had his run in with Carl Showalter. Man, Minnesota is a dangerous place, eh?
I love the running gag of the automatic door which only opens occasionally.
And I loved when Irv the attorney said "What's Enter?" Great stuff!

Yeah the door only works sporadically, her phone only works sporadically, she still sends Telex reports that nobody receives, and nobody knows how to use a computer. Irv can't find the enter key, the cops still have theirs in boxes, the parole officer's computer is busted from a rat chewing the cord. It's like the land that time and technology forgot.

"Well wait a minute, let me check mine. Yeah it's out too."
"Do you think it's the power?"
That was an exchange right out of the IT Support Hall of Fame.

Well okay then. You know, you're right, Max. It was Wade Gustafson who had the run-in with Carl. Stan Grossman must have been Wade's lawyer or something. I guess I had a senior moment there. Thanks for setting me straight.

I believe he was Wade's business partner, rather than his lawyer. Either way, mentioning him in this episode was fitting because the deal in the movie that Jerry pitched to Wade and Stan was a parking lot, and it was Stan who decided it was a "pretty sweet" deal. And of course, the thing mentioned in this episode that they wanted to run by Stan also pertained to a parking lot.

Yes, I believe you are correct. The deal was "pretty sweet", and all they wanted to give poor old Jerry Lundegard was a "finder's fee." This led to a lot of "malfeasance". They love to tie things together like that.
