*** Whenever he's mentioned, Griffin always makes sure to say "Barack ''Hussein'' Obama, a lot of people forget the Hussein but it's important" verbatim. He's even done so ''while doing an impression of Barack Obama''.

* AuthorAppeal: None of the brothers is above talking about their interests often. For Justin, this includes his love of Jimmy Buffett and island vacations, and for Griffin, this includes things such as Creator/CarlyRaeJepsen , Pokemon, and vore [[note]] The last one is a joke interest, though it's gotten a bit out of hand in the fans' minds[[/note]]. They also had a segment where they talked about how they [[CouldSayItBut would never talk about being into odd kinks]] ("sexual waffle irons" for Griffin, while Travis "couldn't stop walrusing"; the punchline being Justin unable to think of something kinky so he just said, "s-sex? weird sex?", resulting in disgust from Griffin and Travis).

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Occasional episodes will not just add a little variable but change the formula so much that the ''brothers'' are out of their element. The biggest example is probably episode 400, where Music/JimmyBuffett invites them to be media on the red carpet premiere of ''Escape to Margaritaville''. The brothers spend their time at the event unsuccessfully wrestling with their crippling social anxiety, nervously asking celebrities questions like "What's the scariest sea creature?", and wondering whether this assignment is Buffett being friendly or [[{{Troll}} deliberately torturing them]].
--->'''Justin''' I'm in hell. This is hell.
--->'''Griffin''' We've got to stop saying "this is hell" when we interview people.

*** Near the end of the year, the brothers always come up with a rhyming nickname for the next one, along with a guiding ethos to fit it. Examples include "20-Grift-teen, the con is on," "20-Fix-teen, building bridges", "20-Serpentine, zag on 'em", and "Collaborate-teen, stronger together."

*** "X Watch" is a free-form segment in which Justin declares a "watch" on the release date of a movie. One recent example (2018) was "Fantastic Beasts 2," a movie that perplexed the brothers by being extant.
----> '''Justin''' Gather 'round fam. The boy is 'not' in the movie ... how am I going to spend 2 Christian hours and 15 Christian minutes on something Harry Potter related [without Harry Potter]?
*** "That's Christmas To Me", introduced in late November 2018, is a holiday-season game where Justin presents to his brothers (and the audience) titles, starring cast, and descriptions of Christmas movies. One of them is fake (usually written by Justin's wife Sydnee, whom Justin compares to [[Film/{{Amadeus}} a Mozart of Christmas movie concepts, with himself as Salieri)]], and Travis and Griffin must guess which.

*** When one of the brothers is "giving advice", another may interrupt him with "Unless..." prompting the other two to echo "Unless...", before taking a new spin on the topic. Occasionally subverted if the brother talking feels particularly strongly on the topic (in character or not), and they shout "NO! NO UNLESS!"
*** This actually made it into Hamilton, with Miranda claiming he added multiple "unlesses" in a song in tribute to the brothers.

*** ''Munch Squad'' is a podcast-within-a-podcast about fast food abominations, which always begins with him starting to sing (usually but not always) to the tune of Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock". Griffin and Travis get in on the bit slightly by always having off-beat and apathetic "squad" yells when they're supposed to chime in. It used to interrupt a question or Yahoo, in the audio equivalent of a SmashCut, but after Griffin commented on how that is a rude introduction, Justin began using it more often during natural lulls in the conversation. Occasionally--usually at live shows, to play to the crowd--he'll deny having a Munch Squad segment ready, and when Griffin is convinced and starts reading, he'll start in with the drums. In addition, the musical lead-in has become longer and more elaborate, with Justin ad-libbing in bits from other classic rock songs, such as Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song".

*** In early episodes his lack of a relationship and his frustration and annoyance at being alone was frequently referenced. Where it became a running gag however was when fans would ask questions about being single they would direct the question specifically at Griffin, or even worse, when asking about romantic relationships they would explicitly apologise to or exclude Griffin from answering. This has stopped since he got married.

The brothers were given the opportunity to bring their show into a live action format, with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7y7POw0yA first season]] airing in February 2017 on Seeso, and moving to VRV after Seeso's announced its plans for closure in August 2017.

* DontTryThisAtHome: Listeners are frequently urged ''not'' to follow the brothers' advice.

* InSeriesNickname: Griffin has a lot of nicknames for Justin, including "Juice", "J-dog", and "J-man".

* SpecialGuest: Several episodes feature a "guestspert" who joins the brothers to answer questions about their area of expertise. Past guestsperts include lesbian comedienne (and fellow Maximum Fun family of podcasts member) Cameron Esposito, gay sex columnist Creator/DanSavage of "Savage Love," Broadway's Creator/LinManuelMiranda, rock musician Jonathan Roderick (of The Long Winters), ''Eat, Pray, Love'' author Elizabeth Gilbert, comedian [[{{Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000}} Bill]] [[{{Podcast/Rifftrax}} Corbett]], and most recently musician Music/JimmyBuffett (who Justin is a ''huge'' fan of).
