** Also Rod and Karen both have a habit of referring to other podcasts by the host's name, rather than the show's. If you don't already know who Phenom (''[[http://www.thetearsoforphans.com/ Where's My 40 Acres]]''), Kriss (''[[https://www.movietrailerreviews.net/podcasts/ Insanity Check]]''), Aaron (''[[http://blackastronauts.com/ Black Astronauts]]''), Reggie or Nic Ju (''[[http://whatsthet.podomatic.com/ What's The Tea]]'') or Elon (''[[http://twib.today/ This Week In Blackness]]''), among others, it can be difficult to follow the references.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: TBGWT pioneered the podcast practice of the on-air reading of anything contained in a 5-star iTunes or Stitcher review. Through trolls abusing the practice solely to disparage Karen (see BerserkButton), they've taken to including the caveat "As long as we like [the comment]."

* BaseBreaker: The "Reading Rainbow" segment - folks either love it, hate it, or just want Rod to go back to the rap lyrics.

* ComeForTheXStayForTheY: Many fans who only knew of TBGWT from their [[Series/GameOfThrones "Dem Thrones"]] and [[Series/TheWalkingDead "Dey Walkin"]] recaps stayed for the comedy and social commentary.

* MisBlamed: Rod and Karen got into a brief beef with the crew from the [[http://fiyastarter.podomatic.com FiyaStarter podcast]] over the use of the [[Series/GameOfThrones "#DemThrones"]] [[Website/{{Twitter}} hashtag]]. Rod's never denied that he picked up the hashtag from [[https://blackgirlnerds.com/ Black Girl Nerds]], who picked it up from [=FiyaStarter=]. But, despite this, fans of TBGWT accused the FS crew of swiping the tag (That they created, remember) from Rod and Karen. This led to a brief, but intense, falling out. They've since [[AccidentalPun hashed things out]].
