* EarWorm: In the May 2022 episode, Jon describes the song "Venom" by {{Music/Eminem}} from the movie ''{{Film/Venom}}'' as this, being unable to get the main hook of the song out of his head ever since he watched the film two months prior. Said line from the song becomes a RunningGag for the remainder of the episode.

* GenderBender: In the June 2021 episode, "Dreams Only", Jon describes a recurring dream he used to have where either he or some random individual would be diving into an indoor swimming pool to see into the underwater window, behind which is a WhiteVoidRoom only populated by a copy of ''VideoGame/DeadOrAliveXtreme 3''. The person in the dream would suddenly be transformed into [[MsFanservice one of the girls from the game]] then attempt to leave the (now pitch dark) swimming pool building, but could only go out through the girl's locker room and any attempt to actually leave resulted in [[GagBoobs the girl's breasts inflating in size each time.]] Jon presumes that this dream explains the concept behind [=RosaJon=].

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Subverted in a story Stephen told in Episode 14 where he and his wife Mal went shopping for iced animal crackers. When he goes to pick up the crackers, he finds "iced animal crackers" and "frosted circus cookies", but Stephen assumes that they're basically the same product and takes the cheaper box. This later gets him in trouble with Mal and his own chat, both of whom chew him out for not picking up "frosted circus cookies", which have a different feel and taste from the cheaper brand that Stephen bought, much to Stephen's utter confusion.

* BrickJoke: The May 2022 episode is named "God Is With Us", which is explained early in the episode by Stephen claiming to his viewers that their SpecialGuest for the episode was God while they were trying to guess the guest's identity. This is never addressed again until the outro, where Stephen addresses MC as "God" and starts a last-second tangent about [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext God's short-lived fling with Santa Claus.]]

** For the podcast itself: ignoring the RunningGag that spawned it, no discs are involved in the podcast, let alone being the only thing there is.
