Sausalito. Sausalito (the band) is named after a town in northern California, just north of San Francisco.
Keanu Reeves. This character was portrayed as a typical young Hollywood star. At the aforementioned press conference, she spoke about her love of Buddhism and reincarnation, which she obviously knew very little about.

toe. Murray suggests they serve it as a dish in a Japanese restaurant. "They love black toe here".
Start A Jazz Band. This is toward the end of their stay when Murray is agonizing over returning home. She wants him to stay, but jokes about it by suggesting they could start a jazz band. All that karaoke might help.
Peace, Love & Understanding. This is when Charlotte takes Bob out and they wind up in her friend's studio. These two characters certainly could use some "Peace, Love & Understanding".
