While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:
Priceline - The bachelor party trip to Tokyo was canceled because Nick booked it on a spoof website called Pricelive.cob instead of the legitimate online travel agency.
[Pete] Seeger - Nick instructed Schmidt on how to appear more tough, saying he should play “Seeger” on the jukebox after dramatically removing his helmet, slamming it down, and telling someone to "watch it."
Katy Perry / “Roar” - This song was played during the road trip and the fight scene.
Rat Pack - The act of buying everyone in the room a drink was referred to as a "cool move" and a move performed by this legendary group of entertainers.
