While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:

• Kool-Aid Man - The guys thought that if Jess shared she lived with her ex, that he would want to run out so quickly that he’d run through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man.
• Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel - Coach shared nothing was less hot than a male secretary, but Winston felt that even though Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s eyes “are so pouchy” he was a male secretary who was “still killing it.”
• Peter Pan - When Jess and Cece were looking at Jess’s bras, she mentioned one was called the Peter Pan.
• Freaky Friday - Cece was considering getting a breast reduction and was looking at Jess’s bras, prompting Jess to ask “Are we doing, like, a boob Freaky Friday?”
• Anderson Cooper - When Nick was pretending to be gay, he referenced Anderson Cooper and his stance on being out.
• A Christmas Carol - Jess was proving how she could keep up a charade by reciting her one-woman production of A Christmas Carol.
• Sophie’s Choice / Harold & Kumar [Go to White Castle] - When Cece was only going to let Schmidt say goodbye to one of her breasts, Schmidt felt like it was “the ultimate Sophie's Cho-Cho”, referring to the film Sophie’s Choice. He also shared that he had named her breasts “Harold” and “Kumar”, the main characters from the film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.
• [Schindler’s List] - Schmidt ran in to stop Cece from getting a breast reduction surgery (even though it was only a consultation) and felt like he had saved her. He then referenced the film Schindler’s List, saying “I'm your Schindler. One day, your children are gonna put rocks on my grave.”
