  • Awesome, Dear Boy: Both Adam Kearney and Mason Creedy asked to be interviewed after enjoying Adam Douglas's.
  • Corpsing: Bobby happily talks about one of Ross Grant's broadcasts, where he managed to completely throw him off laughing by mentioning the film Chatterbox (an infamous 70s flick about a woman with a talking vagina).
  • Creator Breakdown: The series was put on hiatus twice because of Bobby's deteriorating mental health; first because of the pro wrestling 'Speaking Out' allegations triggering uncomfortable memories of his own time in wrestling, and secondly because of depression brought on by the second lockdown of 2020. It was initially cancelled completely, but Un-Cancelled nearly a year later.
  • Creator's Favorite Episode: Bobby's favorite interview is his one with Liam Gaynor. Close seconds are Meg Birley's and Adam Douglas's.
  • Magnum Opus Dissonance:
    • Bobby isn't too fond of Tony Rossi's interview, feeling he didn't prepare enough for it. Greg by contrast said that's one of his favourites.
    • He also isn't wild about Jordan Lennon's, feeling his inexperience showed too glaringly in it (and considered not even uploading it). Numerous other guests told him that was their favourite.
  • Milestone Celebration: The fifteenth episode was celebrated by having Greg Young, Bobby's occasional co-host and best friend, as the interviewee. His mentor Ross Grant was the twentieth, and Bobby himself was twenty-fifth.
  • Missing Episode: An interview was filmed with Finglas musicians Danny Ruszo and DubalC, but Bobby chose not to upload it, feeling he wasn't prepared for it. There are however plans to redo it.
  • Real Life Writes the Hairstyle:
    • Greg Young at one point doesn't have a beard because he'd had to shave it for an audition to play a fifteen-year-old.
    • Bobby has a buzz cut again for Liam Gaynor and Dawn Wolfe's interviews because he'd cut it for the short Widespread.
    • And once again, Bobby's hair is buzzed for the second season and accompanied by a beard because of requirements for Gold Standard.
  • Serendipity Writes the Plot: Greg tends to co-host any interviews involving The Gumdrops cast members because Bobby feels odd asking them about something he's written and cast them in.
  • What Could Have Been: Bobby wanted Greg to be the first interview, but he was too busy with college work, so he interviewed Adam instead.
  • You Look Familiar: Due to Luke Byrne and Dan O'Neill's interviews not being uploaded until a year later, this was the effect, since they had appeared in reaction videos on the same channel.
