Liner notes

Before the Hulu specials and mainstream fame, there was the "Lot." In this classic 2019 episode, Adam sits down with the legendary Jason Harris, founder of @Jeromebakerglass . Jason takes us back to the early 90s, selling glass on the Grateful Dead tour, the accidental birth of the "Jerome Baker" name, and the high-speed growth of the most recognizable glass brand in history. We also get the raw, firsthand account of Operation Pipe Dreams-the 2003 federal sting that changed the glass industry forever. Watch Jason Harris now on Hulu's "4x20: Quick Hits"!
