* BaitAndSwitch: Probably Mikey's favorite narrative technique. As he narrates the biography of a show subject, he'll drop an [[CrazyEnoughToWork outlandish but possibly true]] anecdote (i.e. Vladimir Putin was Joseph Stalin's love child) to hook Randy, Mikey, and possibly the audience into falling for it before dropping "I'm just kidding" and giving the real, harsh truth about the subject.
**Zigzagged in the Music/GGAllin episode, when Buddy and Randy thought that Allin being christened "Jesus Christ Allin" was another Mikey fabrication. That turned out to be real, although Mikey did immediately trick them into thinking Allin got that name after his father burnt himself with a cigarette and yelled "JESUS CHRIST!" in front of the hospital clerk filling out the birth certificate.

Asshole Court (also known as AHC Podcast) is a comedy podcast hosted by three longtime friends who research and discuss the backstory, life, and accomplishments/controversy of a particularly notorious public figure and rate them on the aforementioned scale of one to eleven. Particularly loathsome individuals, such as those who have committed murder, hate crimes, and/or egregious sexual misconduct tend to end up on the higher end of the scale, while those who may be disagreeable personalities but do not have a record of heinous acts can end on the lower end of the scale. In most episodes, baseline scores are given by the hosts based on their preexisting knowledge and/or preliminary research of the show subject in question; these are often compared to the final scores given at the end of the show.
