Production
The series was shot in Orange County, California from 2018-2022, with most of the crew having met in film school at Biola University.

After becoming a fan of the show during the first season, Chloe Clem and her sister Lily were invited by the creators to join the series in a supporting role as Todd's sisters. Viral internet stars Jamie Costa and Jack Vale joined the cast in Season 3 as FBI Agents Marikate and Ashley. After guest starring on the show, Costa would go on to create the sketch comedy group 'Halfway Handsome' with Tory, Carroll and Fasold. Tubi became the official home of the series starting with its third season.

The title of every episode of the series is notably a parody of a song title by The Beach Boys.

Reception

Simon Appleton of The Movie Moustache gave the series a 9/10, stating "Tory and Carroll dig into their love of popular culture and put a unique and crazy spin on every episode, each one a hysterical parody." In addition, David Duprey of ThatMomentIn.com called the series "a funny, well-made bit of distraction. Recommended."

The series won "Best Comedy" at the 2019 Angaelica Festival, as part of the Catalyst Story Institute & Content Festival in Duluth, Minnesota.
