Music
Thorn and Travis are both music buffs, so this tends to be their most common form of Shout-Out. They have sang/namechecked Nick Cave, The Proclaimers, and a lot more during various LPs.

- Day 7: Yoshi gets in a rare one ("Wow, what the fuck? I'm the one making a music reference? That doesn't happen.") by saying "the spiraling shape" after getting a "Compelling Cookie". It's fast, though, so Thorn misses it until Yoshi points it out again.
