  • The other ingredients they gathered were Jerry Garcia's saliva, the protection stone on Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin's lock.
• Ray makes two references to the Legends improving their ratings with the Time Bureau, a meta joke about the show's Nielsen ratings (a measurement of a TV show's viewership).

• The unicorn (which has sharp teeth) bites into Gary's left hand, but after the unicorn lets go of his hand, it's completely unharmed.
