  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • In one 2007 show, Richard Marsland makes fun of newsreader Charmaine Dragun's unusual name. Both Marsland and Dragun have since fallen victim to depression and committed suicide.
    • Also, any reference Richard made to his own death. A particularly uncomfortable example is when he quipped that the "In Memoriam" segment of the 2007 Logies went on so long that he started expecting to see his own name come up. Sadly, that came true just two years later.
    • Unfortunately this comes up a lot with Ricky M. The "I'm an Iced Coffee powered suicide machine" line from the Police Ten 7 sketch and Richard saying that he would like to have kids at some stage.
    • Exactly 12 minutes into Podcast 52, Tony plays the sound of a heavy rain storm and taunts "How do you like that, Brisbane?" Cue the Queensland floods of 2011, where Brisbane was massively devastated.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • When the Beaconsfield mine disaster miniseries was finally made, it co-starred frequent Get This co-host Lachy Hume.
    • The trio frequently made jokes about being too nerdy and wussy to host one of the "proper", blokier radio shows on Triple M, such as the Cage or the Grill Team. Almost a decade later, Ed Kavalee is a host of the Brisbane Grill Team program.
    • Gavin Wood was a frequent target of mockery. Ed Kavalee played Wood in the 2015 Molly miniseries.
