YMMV / The Black Guy Who Tips

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: "Bulletball" is a real sport. Sort of.
• Continuity Lockout
  • All but the newest two weeks of episodes are behind a premium paywall. As such, many of the show's running gags (like the show's intro) and references will be lost on newer listeners.
  • 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 Kriss (Insanity Check), Reggie or Nic Ju (What's The Tea) among others, it can be difficult to follow the references.
• Fandom VIP: Regular listeners to the show include actress Reagan Gomez-Preston, comedian Roy Wood Jr, the members of Living Colour and ESPN personality Bomani Jones (who's known Rod for years via Rod being a regular caller to Bomani's then-local radio shows).
• Mis-blamed: Rod and Karen got into a brief beef with the crew from the FiyaStarter podcast over the use of the "#DemThrones" hashtag. A magazine article attributed the hashtag's creation to Black Girl Nerds. BGN said "No, we got it from TBGWT." Rod has never hid the fact that he got it 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 hashed things out.
• Once Original, Now Common: 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 Berserk Button), they've taken to including the caveat "As long as we like [the comment]."
• Spoiled by the Format: The episode time clocks in at around two or more hours and there's no guests^note Over 75 minutes for the Saturday feedback eps.? It means Rod and/or Karen have gone on a major rant(possibly several).
