Throwing Fits: PATREON PREVIEW Gossip With an Agenda

Release date: November 12, 2025
Hosts: Jimmy and Larry

Overview

This bonus, boys-only midweek episode of Throwing Fits brings the hosts Jimmy and Larry together for an unfiltered and idiosyncratic rundown of recent events, personal observations, and pop-culture minutiae, immediately following their podcast session with Rachel Sennott (in preparation for her Fallon appearance). The episode is an intimate, behind-the-paywall chat that floats from fashion fit checks to musings on genetics, internet gossip, and the ever-changing zeitgeist—with a heavy dose of signature irreverence.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Vibes and Fit Check (01:00–03:13)

• Unfiltered atmosphere: The hosts lean into the "bonus content" energy, signaling to listeners this is unscripted, off-the-cuff, and for the true besties.
• Jimmy and Larry open with a pseudo-fit check:
  • Larry flexes vintage Gucci loafers from the Tom Ford era ("Vintage Gucci by Tom Ford loafers. Thank you." – Larry, 01:42).
    • He likes the "square tail" and lug sole, joking about how every extra inch helps when meeting certain guests.
    • Jimmy jokes in kind: "You can always use a few extra inches." (02:04)
• Height talk: They riff on the surprising number of tall male podcast guests and reflect on their own statures and podcast host stereotypes.

2. Twin Boom and Height Theories (02:27–05:11)

• Jimmy’s “twins everywhere” theory:
  • He notices a disproportionate number of twins among younger people, especially at a recent dinner where multiple guests turn out to be twins (or closely related to them).
  • Ponders whether IVF, older maternal ages, changes in diet (corn, processed milk, more meat), or other environmental factors explain the uptick.
    • "Never go with numbers, only go with vibes." (Jimmy, 02:27)
  • Larry cheekily interjects: "Yeah. Cuz twins are mutant freaks." (04:43)
• Speculative deep dive:
  • Jimmy wonders if the prevalence of tall dudes among Gen Z is linked to dietary or environmental changes of the last few decades.
  • Larry’s counterpoint: Modern environmental and dietary degradation should theoretically shrink, not grow, young men. He cites a recent study suggesting testosterone rates in Gen Z are plummeting: "A Gen Z-er has the equivalent testosterone of a 72-year-old man." (Larry, 04:36)
  • Jimmy pushes back, suggesting it’s not today’s kids but those born ~30 years ago who benefited.

3. Fashion, Vanity, and the CFDA Awards (05:11–07:05)

• Aesthetic self-consciousness: Larry admits to boosting his own height when a "short queen" visits the pod.
  • "What, that I'm a vain narcissist? Like, come on, bro." (Larry, 05:25)
• Tom Ford-era Gucci nostalgia: The hosts reminisce about the cut and style of that period, agreeing runway clothes don’t fit their own bodies due to their “healthy diet”—more Chef Boyardee than kale salad.
  • Larry details his childhood diet: "Chef Boyardee, quick little, like, you’re home from school, put it in the microwave or like Celeste pizzas, Lean Cuisines…" (Larry, 05:49)
• Current fit details: Larry’s wearing Eckhaus Latta double-knees, but downplays the rest ("On my unbranded shit. Doesn't even matter. We can move on.") (Larry, 06:08)
• CFDA Menswear Awards: They discuss the perceived legitimacy of fashion awards and speculate on recent winners.
  • Tom Browne, as head of the CFDA, is joked about: "He gives himself the award." (Jimmy, 06:56)
  • ASAP Rocky’s “Icon Award” is also celebrated with typical Throwing Fits exuberance.
