Key Discussion Points and Insights

Back From Australia: Trip Highlights

• The hosts just got back from Australia, mentioning lingering jet lag ("We're so over jet. We're over our jet lag." – Co-host 2, 01:57) and some unique local treats:
  • Kangaroo jerky
  • Tim Tams
  • Beetroot sandwiches ("Had a beetroot. Beetroot Sammy went from Bondi to Temoams." – Co-host 2, 02:02)

Homie Pods: Catching Up As Adult Friends

• They discuss the recent recording with their friend Chad Senzel and the joy of "homie pods" as an opportunity to genuinely catch up with interesting people ("The homie Pods are a delight because you're just actually, like, hanging out..." – Co-host 2, 02:21).
• The hosts lament how, in traditional male friendships, guys often have "no information to relate to their wife about what's going on with the homie at all" (Co-host 1, 02:48).

Do You Know What Your Friends Do for Work?

• The hosts admit they often have only a vague idea of their friends' professions, especially those from high school or college ("Some of them. Not all of them." – Co-host 1, 03:14).
• Amusing example: one friend, Joey Mimosa, works at Vimeo and leads a sales team, most of whom are older than him – which the hosts find fascinating (03:28–03:59).
• They riff on the mystery of job titles and actual duties, especially when friends' jobs involve managing teams or working with older generations.

Notable Moment / Quote:

"Apparently they're all very much older than him. So that, to me, which is always funny to hear about, like, you know, because I don't... know of a lot of people in our world that employ people that are, like, significantly older than them. So to me, that's fascinating."
— Co-host 1 (03:59)

• The conversation continues with musings on another friend’s (Co-host 2's brother’s) CFO job and how, to outsiders, it boils down to "baby spreadsheets and calls and like making sure the money is making" (Co-host 2, 05:16).
• The trope of never really knowing what friends do, especially those in law, marketing, or tech, is poked fun at: "What do your friends do at work? No idea" (Co-host 2, 05:36).

Listener Engagement Prompt

• Co-hosts invite audience participation in the comments:

"Drop your job description in the comments below... Drop your resume."
— Co-host 2/Co-host 1 (06:01–06:06)

Fit Check Segment (06:07)

• The signature Throwing Fits "fit check":
  • Co-host 1’s outfit:
    • Prada stompers (“on the feet”)
    • Vintage Abercrombie & Fitch cargo pants (eBay purchase)
    • Vintage Brioni shirt (from Sobaras)
    • Cortez beater
  • Discussion around necessary shirt cleaning and general hygiene, with plenty of self-deprecating humor about sweat and greasiness.
• Light teasing about haircuts, with Co-host 2 revealing they've gone for a trim, breaking a "growing it out" streak.

Memorable Quote

I should say I was prepared. Yeah. Yeah. We just wrapped a stupendous podcast with the homie, Chad Senzel.

[Co-host 1]

Long time coming.

[Co-host 2]

The homie Pods are a delight because you're just actually, like, hanging out. You know how, like, you have friends and you don't know what to do at work. This is like, this is like our chance. Like, be like, hey, yo, friend.

[Co-host 1]

Like, what, what?

[Co-host 2]

Like, let's tap to that big brain and also, like, understand what your. What intellect you bring to the workplace and who you are and what you do, which is such a delight, especially when there's someone. The nicest man named Chad of all time.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah.

[Co-host 2]

Nicest man, period.

[Co-host 1]

And we're lucky because, like. Well, because there's that meme where it's like, guys hang out and they come home and they have no information to relate to their wife about what's going on with the homie at all. Family life.

[Co-host 2]

They broke up.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, Family life, their job. And maybe you have friends with interesting jobs and maybe you have friends with jobs where you don't care about what they do because it's boring. Luckily for us, they. Chad is here because he's an interesting guy with an interesting job.

[Co-host 2]

Do you have. Do you know what your friends do for work?

[Co-host 1]

Like, my. Not. Yeah, like, my, like, friends from high school and college and stuff. Some of them. Not all of them.

[Co-host 2]

Honestly, like, the people are still friends.

[Co-host 1]

With some of them. Yeah, yeah. Or, or, or like, the vague understanding.

[Co-host 2]

Like, do you know what Joey Mimosa does work?

[Co-host 1]

Yes, he works at Vimeo, but doing what?

[Co-host 2]

Sales. What does that mean? What are you selling?

[Co-host 1]

The Vimeo product. And like, Vimeo Premium and all that is, like, massive with, like, a. Tons of. Tons of brands that put, like, video content.

[Co-host 2]

And who's he? What does he do? He. He.

[Co-host 1]

He runs an entire team of salespeople.

[Co-host 2]

And who are they selling? They're so. They're selling.

[Co-host 1]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know that their. Their client roster list or, like, who. Who, like, who they've closed recently. But he runs a team of things, like seven people.

[Co-host 2]

Okay.

[Co-host 1]

Which is very funny because they're. Apparently they're all very much older than him. So that, to me, which is always funny to hear about, like, you know, because I don't. I don't know of a lot of people in our world that employ people that are, like, significantly older than them. So to me, that's fascinating. So I always talk to him about that. So that was actually an interesting example because I always want to know what's going on with the team. Dude.

[Co-host 2]

What's going, like, what's going on with.

[Co-host 1]

The boomers, like literally like slang are the boomers using like, literally, like, like whatever. Gary is 65. Damn.

[Co-host 2]

How does Gary feel about working for a young stud? A young 39 year old?

[Co-host 1]

Go hard. Well, I think Joe is like a boss because I mean you've met him before. He's a great guy.

[Co-host 2]

I think he's Joey Mimosa. Like, yeah, of course.

[Co-host 1]

Joseph is a very. I think he has strong leadership and obviously Vimeo saw that in him. Also, we should not be talking about my friend Joe's personal business or his professional business.

[Co-host 2]

Yeah, but if you're watching this on Vimeo, because Joey was so good at his job, we switched over from YouTube to Vimeo.

[Co-host 1]

You know who's. You know who? I think the person. And you don't have to say much because the person that is acquaintance that I would actually want to know more about what they do, but I have really don't know is your brother. I think he's like, yes, cfo.

[Co-host 2]

He's a cfo.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah. Is he, Is he still on a bunch of boards?

[Co-host 2]

I think so. But it's like baby spreadsheets and calls and like making sure the money is making. They're making money.

[Co-host 1]

Definitely has older people working for him for sure.

[Co-host 2]

Maybe not maybe, I don't know. But like, yeah, you know, like dick sucking Ron is like, I'm like, okay, I know you're in law. In. Yeah, we can't say too much, I guess about.

[Co-host 1]

Right, right.

[Co-host 2]

No, for sure. But it's just like, oh, so like you do like spreadsheets? You know, it's just like the trope of like, what do your friends do at work? No idea. Or anybody that works in marketing and shop at Spotify. But it's like spreadsheets.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, yeah. What exactly. Yeah, just hanging out with my cousins. And I was like, my one cousin's a lawyer, but he like changed firms. I was like trying to get to the bottom of it. And then my other cousin is like a social worker. See, I don't even really know.

I got Prada fucking stompers on the feet. I'm wearing vintage Abercrombie and Fitch cargo pants that I bought off eBay the shirt is vintage Brioni. Believe this is from Sobaras. The beater is Cortez.

[Co-host 2]

[Co-host 1]

Yo, so, honestly, this one, I had to. I had to clean this one. I. It wasn't that bad because I'm not that sweaty, but, like, I don't know.

[Co-host 2]

If it's any hot sweat, though. What was your hair?

[Co-host 1]

Oh, that's a grass.

[Co-host 2]
