While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:
The Martian / Matt Damon - Bob and Carol are from Boston and Schmidt, trying to impress them, was speaking in a Bostonian accent while mentioning famous things from Boston like The Martian which starred Boston-native Matt Damon.
Tom Hanks / Meg Ryan - The way Bob and Carol spoke to each other made Schmidt quip that they are a regular “Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan”, insinuating that they may not really get along.
Patti Labelle / “New Attitude” - This song played in the episode while Cece was trying on wedding dresses with Winston.
Santa [Claus] - Carol inferred that they needed Nick to do more than donate his sperm by saying “we don't just need your reindeer, we need Santa.”
New England Patriots / Chicago Bears - Part of the contention between cousins in this episode was that Bob was a “Pats” fan while Nick is a “Bears” fan.
