The idea started out as a gag: in 2018, Jon raided Stephen's charity stream and suggests the UsefulNotes/GameBoyPlayer. Not a game using the player: instead, he was asked to play just the disc that goes with the player. When that eventually takes the lead, Stephen would be chatting with his audience while the Game Boy Player showed the title screen. Later in May 2020, LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys hosted the TRG Colosseum Direct, a charity event hosted by the group. During Jon's segment called Chaos Fortune Cookie, the Game Boy Player was suggested there as a CallBack by Stephen. Tom and Jerod were also co-commentators during the segment, so they joined in. Later in the year, they decided to make it into a proper podcast.

** Sab Irene takes over for Stephen in Episode 33. She's notably the first female guest to be featured on the show.

** The first two episodes feature polls held on Twitch for viewers to vote. The first episode's poll predicts who will accidentally take down the next Colosseum stream (either LetsPlay/AttackingTucans or Family Jules), and the second asks the chat whose house they would try to break into (the four hosts were the possible options).

** Due to the casual nature of the chat, changing topics and tone at different paces depending almost at random, a topic may suddenly become this trope. I can be hard to track where it comes into play or where it might be another trope, such as BileFacination, or a mixture.

* BasedOnADream: Invoked. Stephen talks about a dream of TRG collabing on a cover for [[Music/BlueOysterCult "Don't Fear the Reaper"]] with LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} on cowbell. Tom feels it would be a great idea for a future Colosseum bumper.

** Episode 31 starts with Stephen proclaiming his hatred for Fanta and how he's forcing himself to drink the Orange Fanta that has been sitting in the fridge after he and Mal bought soda variety packs from Costco and no one wanted to drink the Fanta that came with them. This later turns into him admitting that "it's not that bad" as he continues drinking the Fanta over the course of the episode, causing the rest of the group to claim that he's developing Stockholm Syndrome for Fanta.

* StockholmSyndrome: In episode 31 Stephen complains about 'having' to drink many mini-cans of orange Fanta (which he dislikes) left over from variety packs of pop (as he refuses to waste food or drink and ignores Jon's suggestion of donating it to a food bank). By halfway through the episode, he worries he has started to develop a taste for it.

* {{Tagline}}: "The podcast about nothing."

* ToiletHumor: Episode 6 has talks about inopportune moments when farts are let out, along with accidental [[PottyFailure soiling]].

* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: Episode 31 has Stephen complaining about the size of the Fanta mini-cans that he's drinking relative to the size of his hands. He makes an analogy to steak for reference by claiming that if someone were to make him hold steaks in his hands at a barbeque, he would be able to hold 8 steaks at once (4 in each hand). This immediately derails the entire topic as the rest of the cast is utterly befuddled by the idea of someone holding raw meat with their bare hands and inquiring about the assumed size of the steaks (which Stephen claims are "[[FantasticMeasurementUnit 1 Standard Steak Unit]]" each), which eventually turns into a bit about Jon and Tom claiming that Stephen is holding the raw meat as part of the marination process and that he either secretes marinade or dry rub from his skin.
