Throwing Fits – PATREON PREVIEW Are the Bros Alright?
Release Date: March 6, 2026
Hosts: James Harris & Lawrence Lossman
Episode Overview
This episode of Throwing Fits features the two hosts in classic form: riffing on recent personal anecdotes, fit checks, food (specifically competitive eating), and teasing upcoming Patreon exclusives. Throughout, their banter is self-deprecating, irreverent, and peppered with in-jokes for long-time listeners. The central through-line is Lawrence’s claim that he could easily complete the "24 hot dogs in 24 hours" challenge—an assertion James continually pokes at. Additional topics include DIY garment modifications, favorite hot dog toppings, and a bit about their online community events.
Key Segments & Discussion Points
1. Fit Check & Farmer Vibes
[01:46 – 03:59]
- Lawrence starts by describing his outfit, with James roasting him for looking like the "it ain't much, but it's honest work" meme.
- Lawrence’s fit details: Our Legacy Workshop Timberlands, Manresa socks, vintage Levi's 501s, Bare Knuckles thermal, vintage Abercrombie flannel ("tucked"), and an Orley jacket with a removable collar.
- Discussion of modifying clothes, like removing the leather collar on the Orley jacket:
- Lawrence: "The leather durag does not sit right for me, so I’d rather just go with the corduroy." [03:38]
- Ongoing bit where James and Lawrence equivocate about accidental legal trouble involving a “Larry guy.”
- James: "Every guy that threatens us over is—it's my fault because he's a Larry guy." [02:31]
2. Eating Challenge Banter – 24 Glizzies in 24 Hours
[04:02 – 09:41]
- James brings up a cruise bachelor party story where the groom's favorite food is hot dogs and had previously attempted, and failed, the 24-glizzy challenge (“24 hot dogs in 24 hours”), which another friend, Chuck, later completed in 6 hours.
- James: "The groom’s favorite food is glizzies. He famously tried to do the 24 glizzies in 24 hours challenge and failed miserably before Chuck did it and crushed it in six hours resulting in some classic merch." [04:22]
- Lawrence confidently claims the challenge is easy and overrated.
- Lawrence: "That is like a leisurely stroll to the mailbox." [05:32]
- James, pushing back: "Chuck is a dog. He's a machine. I don't think you have that in you." [06:48]
- Discussion veers into how such challenges are psychologically hard, not just physically. James needles Lawrence about his current calorie deficit and cutting for summer.
- James: "Right now, it’s just—what are you in—a 900 calories a day, no more? What’s your deficit, bro?" [06:13]
- Lawrence: "I'm in a calorie deficit, but I'm eating about 1600 calories." [06:25]
- The idea of making this challenge a Patreon (or Twitch) exclusive is broached, with Lawrence agreeing.
- Lawrence: "I will do it. I just need to figure out when the timing works for me, but I’ll just do this." [08:14]
- James: "Why don’t we make it like a Patreon event or something?" [08:23]
- Running TF joke about who are "real eaters" and who aren’t.
- Lawrence: "As has been established on this podcast, there are real eaters and there are not real eaters. Chuck and I are real eaters." [08:49]
- James: "You eat one meal a day. Your stomach couldn’t handle it." [09:01]
- Recap transitions into playful fashion critique:
- James: "You're dressed like a competitive eater right now." [09:45]
- Lawrence: "And you're dressed like the guy who's sitting in the front row of a competitive eating competition in the splash zone." [09:50]
3. The Bachelor Party: Hot Dog Swim Trunks and More DIY
[10:01 – 12:05]
- James shares an anecdote about buying everyone goofy hot-dog patterned bathing suits for the cruise, which were so ill-fitting that one friend hemmed his, using lifeguard scissors, right on the ship.
- James: "He went to the lifeguard, got a pair of first aid scissors and hemmed his glizzy bathing suit on the cruise ship." [10:42]
- Lawrence: “How did it end up looking? Fine?” [10:50]
- Banter about the swim trunks’ absurd details, like some having lettuce on the hot dog print, with Lawrence incredulous at this “Scandinavian” oddity.
- Lawrence: "What lettuce is ever on a hot dog? That’s crazy." [11:17]
- Both hosts debate ideal hot dog toppings:
- James: "I love a Chicago dog... I really don’t give a—like, I don’t care."
- Lawrence: "I prefer it to all be frank. And then I do spicy brown, I like ketchup, and then—yeah, just like Vlasic relish."

[12:24 – 12:37]
