   The route traveled in the "carpool" bit did seem to be the freeway route   
   that one would take to get from the Westside to Warner Bros. in Burbank:   
   I-405 North to U.S. 101 South (compass east) to California 134 East.   
      
   The McDonald's the carpool visited was actually a bit of a detour --   
   it's on Olive Avenue northeast of Warner Bros., although I think it is   
   the closest McDonald's to the studio. To get there, the carpool almost   
   definitely drove past NBC, in case Conan wanted to roll down the window   
   and shake his fist at the executives.   
      
   The "fire drill" took place on Olive Avenue westbound at Buena Vista   
   Street, which would be on the way back to Warner Bros. from the   
   McDonald's.   
      
   In all the shots where I could see the GPS screen, it appeared that it   
   was on the main "view map or pick a destination" menu screen, so I can't   
   explain the "traffic ahead" warning that it allegedly gave. I also note   
   that having a GPS suction-cupped to the middle of the windshield is   
   illegal in California -- it's only legal to attach it to the extreme   
   lower left or lower right corners. (I have mine in the middle, but it's   
   sitting on top of the dashboard on a frictionless mat, which is legal.)   
   Fighting that particular crime, though, seems to be a low priority.   
      
   Meanwhile, in the Tom Hanks "scooter" bit -- which I'm sure the TBS   
   lawyers will swear is nothing like any bit Conan ever did on NBC -- all   
   of the footage in which they were allegedly driving down a city street   
   was westbound Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake, which is just a bit   
   northeast of Warner Bros.
