  • Archive Panic: The Session has been going since 2005, releasing three or four (depending on the year) 3+ hour episodes a month. Add on many years of the other shows, you have a huge archive to listen to.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Pretty much all of the humor of Lunch Meet.
  • Fan Community Nicknames: A nickname for listeners evolved from the listeners themselves, who call themselves "The BN Army".
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Justin regularly joked about Doc's wife leaving him because he spends so much time on the show. Fast forward to 2015 and Doc's wife did indeed leave him- and he acknowledged that the BN was one (among other) reason for the divorce.
  • It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: JP's opinions about India Pale Ales. Generally he isn't a fan of the style, and the trend for every brewery and home brewer to make heaps of them (often limiting selection of other styles) frustrates him. That the style has creeped to the point where beers that he doesn't consider to be proper IPAs are labeled as such (usually because doing so results in more sales) means he sees them also as They Changed It, Now It Sucks!
  • Seasonal Rot: Frequently aimed at The Session. Typical among the complaints are the drop in listener involvement in the show (especially when it moved from Sunday to Monday), a drop in some of the more crude humor, a large drop in the number of people involved in episodes (episodes have seen upwards of five people, recent years have seen episodes with solely JP and another person), and a general argument that the show has become less fun.
