Features the song from "Sandcastles in the Sand" By the Fourskins, "Murder Train."
There is a short flashback, Marshall and Ted are seen eating a sandwich while watching a Kung Fu-movie. This references How I Met Everyone Else (2007) in which older Ted replaces all references to smoking marijuana by describing that he and his friends were eating a sandwich.
After Ted whines that Barney broke his nose, Barney replies, "It'll be great! You'll look like Owen Wilson!" Actor Owen Wilson is well-known for his crooked nose, which he broke in a fight.
While sitting at the booth, a sign reading "On this site in 1897 nothing happened" can be seen behind Marshall.
