Main Take-Aways

Glenn and Jamie only promote products that they would use. Consequently, 98.5% of their listeners buy those products.

They use the Patreon account to allow their listeners to get closer (and appear) on the show.

They put hours into show prep and know exactly where the show is going.

They keep trying new things to keep the show fresh.

Some of their best segments "just happened."

They never talk except on the show so they don't have to recreate conversations in their episodes.
