Cultural ReferencesEdit

• Dean Venture wears a Burger King crown in his fantasy of being Triana Orpheus's hero.
• Triana sarcastically calls Dean "David Koresh" in a reference to the word "compound" when Dean says "So, I'll see you around the compound?"
• When asked about the skull and crossbones on her shirt, Triana replies that she is going for a "retro _Adam and the Ants_ kind of thing", referring to the new romantic band of the same name.
• Dean apparently watches reruns of _Kolchak: The Night Stalker_.
• The brothers wrap Dean's shirt around Brock's head after peeing on it. This is a reference to the movie _Total Recall_ where a character wrapped a wet towel around his head to disrupt a tracking device.
• When Hank is shuffling through a box of Brock Samson's cassette tapes, he finds the _Led Zeppelin_ album "In Through the Out Door" and ask if he and Brock can listen to it, but Brock refuses stating that "Zep sold out on that one", and the album brings back memories of the only woman he ever loved (most likely Molotov Cocktease).
