Starting with Episode 098: Feel The Rain, Patrick, show guests, callers, and listeners using the live feedback began telling what are known to the NLO community as black iPod jokes, such as "my black iPod beats up your honor student". In this joke, a steroetype commonly attributed to black people is instead applied to a black iPod. Most consider the better variations of the joke to be where the stereotype can also logically be applied to an iPod, such as "my black iPod keeps slipping out of my hands 'cause it's so greasy". This doesn't make the jokes like "my black iPod has a dream" and less humorous though.

The bit originated from a controversial ad from Sony about the new white Playstation Portable. Despite the fact that the ad was foreign, Americans were still outraged. The shift from the PSP to iPods was made when Chef brought up how there had been no controversy when black iPods were introduced in addition to the original white ones. Chef told the very first Black iPod joke and the bit continued for several minutes of Episode 098, into following episodes, and even into a thread on the forums.
