Inspiring the future dreams of one... Eleven. It's one louder.

• Scott says that New City Hall is at least 40 years old...it is actually only 38. It will celebrate its 40th birthday on September 13, 2005. Now that is really a travesty... http://www.toronto.com/profile/146622/ • That orangey metal thing Conan asks about? That is actually the John Street Pumping Station, located just south of the SkyDome box office. Although it is the city's largest water provider, there is certainly nothing sexual about this building. • 950 millilitres does not even equal one gallon, let alone 40. You would need 151,416.4 millilitres, or 159 cans of Budweiser, to reach 40 gallons of beer. http://www.nearbuy.com/cw/conv_index1.asp • A scene from the film Slap Shot is shown, with Michael Ontkean (as Ned Braden) skating around the ice, carrying a trophy over his head in only a jock strap. The film, about a minor-league hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, who love to brawl, has the Chiefs in the league finals against another brawling squad, the Syracuse Bulldogs, who virtually spend the entire game fighting. During one large brawl, Braden, the only player not involved in the scuffle, begins to skate around the ice, stripping down for the enjoyment of the fans, supposedly to represent the downright insanity and lack of actual play in 1970's minor league hockey. Eventually, the referees award the Chiefs the championship via forefit, and Braden is the first to grab the trophy from the referee, celebrating by lapping the rink in only a jock strap. Thompson doesn't quite capture this moment, as he: (1) is not wearing skates, and (2) is not carrying the Stanley Cup. However, this is somewhat hard to do, as the Hockey Hall of Fame has wood floors, and the Cup can barely be touched by non-players, let alone carried. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020501.html • Wonder how much Conan & Scott's trip around Toronto cost? Of course you don't! But in case you did, here's the total tab on the day: The Beer Store: $74.65 ($34.95 for a 24 (x2), $4.75 for 950 mL Budweiser can) Union Station: $15.50 ($7.75 for two TTC day passes) Bata Shoe Museum: $12 ($6 per adult ticket) Hockey Hall Of Fame: $24 ($12 per adult ticket; also a cost to take a picture with the Stanley Cup) Woody's & Sailor: $8.75 ($4.25 for domestic beer (Conan's Blue), $4.50 for a shot (Scott's drink) Royal Ontario Museum: $30 ($15 per adult ticket) Art Gallery of Ontario: $24 ($12 per adult ticket) TOTAL: $188.90 Canadian, or $142.14 American (The February 11 exchange rate was $0.7525 US for every $1 Canadian) • Extra sequences of the Toronto tour that were filmed but never aired were reported to have taken place at museums (presumably the Royal Ontario Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario), and a Tim Horton's coffee shop. • Fox claims that when trying to say sorry with an American accent, he thinks of Indira Gandhi, the first female Prime Minister of India from 1966 to 1977. He thinks of her because Indian women often wear a long piece of cloth known as a sari, pronounced sar-ee, as opposed to pronouncing the word sorry as saw-ree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Gandhi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sari • Does anyone find it odd that Fox calls his kids shameless little bastards on national television? • Fox makes a reference to the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap, saying that he plays guitar with his amplifier at -1, while in the movie, they played with amps going up to 11. The film, a "mockumentary" about the fictional heavy metal group Spinal Tap, features guitarist Nigel Tuffnel (a spoof of Eric Clapton, played by Christopher Guest) proclaiming that in order to rock harder, their amplifiers went up to level 11, as opposed to the standard maximum of 10. Fox was proclaiming that in order to pretty much "not rock," he turned his amp down to negative one, so he could not even be heard. Funny reference. http://spinaltapfan.com/atozed/TAP00160.HTM • Fox and Conan have both played with Bruce Springsteen. Fox performed "Light Of Day" with Springsteen at the Light Of Day concert to benefit the Parkinson's Disease Foundation on November 1, 2003 at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Conan performed "Merry Christmas Baby" with Springsteen on December 11, 2002, Max Weinberg's return with the E-Street Band to Late Night. http://www.livedaily.com/news/5700.html http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2003/09/15/late_night_with_conan_is_10.php • Canadians don't think they can spot an American a mile away; however, they I'm sure they can easily spot an American a kilometre away. 8o) • The American in Spot The American is Brian McCann, also known as Preparation H Raymond (or shall I say, Nupercainal Raymond?), and a writer for Late Night. • The Toronto.com webcams show the Masturbating Bear in the fiancial district, on top of a Bay Street highrise. Foam Rubber Conan is shown in the shopping district, on Yonge Street just north of Dundas Street. • Innerkip, Ontario, the hometown of Ken Capling, is located just north of Woodstock, about a 105 minute drive southwest from Toronto. http://www.innerkip.on.ca http://www.mapquest.com • Thanks to Aurora for pointing this out...look quickly as the camera pans away from the Moose at the commercial break, and you will see some familiar faces from the day before: Maple Leaf stars Tie Domi (with wife Leanne) and Tom Fitzgerald (with wife Keri) sitting on the next balcony over! • Conan announces Nickelback as being from the "Canadian town of Hanna". He was referring to the small town of Hanna, Alberta, located 2 hours northeast of Calgary. However, Canada is a big country, and naming a small town of 3000 by just the city name isn't exactly helpful to our foreign friends.... http://www.hanna.ca
