Throwing Fits: PATREON PREVIEW Be the Buffalo

Date: November 5, 2025
Hosts: Throwing Fits (Co-host 1 & Co-host 2)

Episode Overview

In this midweek Patreon preview, the Throwing Fits hosts return from a trip to Australia and dive straight into a candid, meandering conversation that blends fashion, friendship, career mysteries, and their trademark humor. They reflect on catching up with friends through podcasting, muse about adult friendships and workplace roles, and, as always, deliver their signature "fit check." The vibe is relaxed and playful, giving listeners the feeling of hanging out with old friends.

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."

• 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."

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.
