Throwing Fits: PATREON PREVIEW Hit on the Wrist

Date: July 15, 2026
Hosts: Jimmy and Larry
Recorded: Live from Paris Fashion Week (after a live event, in a Paris hotel conference room)

---

Episode Overview

In this boys-only “midweek” Throwing Fits episode, Jimmy and Larry catch up in Paris during Fashion Week, providing a characteristically irreverent window into their lives as self-proclaimed “grown dirtbags.” As they decompress after their Paris live show, they riff on hotel hospitality, their ever-evolving vacation wardrobe logistics, packing woes, the cyclical nature of menswear (flip-flops vs. fisherman sandals), and the challenges of maintaining clean underwear on the road. The episode is marked by their signature self-deprecating humor and inside-joke-laden banter, aiming to entertain and inform their fashion-savvy audience.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Paris Recording Setup and Hospitality

• Location: The episode is recorded from a different (presumably inferior) conference room than their usual spot in Paris.
• Larry and Jimmy immediately launch into their ongoing debate about which recording space is superior, factoring in AC quality, lighting, and personal comfort.
  • [01:51] Larry: “The concierge was nice enough to prep the room for us…I walked in here and it was like, oh, the AC hasn’t been on in this room for 24 to 48 hours.”
  • Shoutout to Masai, the “very French” concierge sporting an Australian pin and possibly a man bun—an example of the show's detailed eye for quirky, real-life style observations.

2. Fit Checks: What the Boys Are Wearing

• [02:26] Fit checks are an institutional segment—the boys rattle off their back-to-back outfit rundowns, showcasing everything they’re wearing down to their underwear.
• Larry: Donning Bally boat shoes, a Stussy black polo, socks by Shiro, vintage Abercrombie cargos, Society Archive hat, Sun Buddies sunglasses, and Supreme Hanes underwear.
  • Larry details his deliberate packing strategy—separating “Fashion Week polos” from “vacation polos,” a move that raised Jimmy’s eyebrows.
  • [03:11] Larry: “Jenna [his partner] gives me a dress code every night that I follow to a T…high end dressy, casual, chic, nice, but not at all dressy. There’s more.”
  • They share a laugh about the borderline absurd specificity of vacation dinner dress codes compared to vague dress codes they usually ridicule.
• Jimmy: Wearing Spanish fisherman mules (possibly “Hereu” brand), Giorgio Armani chinos, a “Jean Etika / Generica” tee (“Generica,” as corrected in real time), and Hanes boxer briefs.
  • Jimmy commiserates about the skyrocketing price of fisherman sandals:
    • [05:47] Jimmy: “They got so expensive in the last few years…It’s wild.”
  • Noteworthy fashion observations: fisherman sandals are back “after a three year trend cycle,” and a dig at flip-flops’ popularity especially among fashion show attendees.

3. Packing, Underwear Anxiety, and European Retail

• [04:22] Larry admits that with Paris' heat and multiple outfit changes per day, his “whole packing plan has been blown to smithereens.”
  • Suits are reserved for the “nicest, richest dinners” (“3 Amal suits, one is a vintage linen pinstripe Armani”), while casual outfits blur as he dips into vacation looks already.
  • Discussion about backup supplies and improvising in Europe:
    • [08:25] Jimmy: “I had Jenna bring more [underwear]…It’s nice to have you a bitch fly in with more underwear.”
    • [08:40] Larry: “Something…I don’t know if this is a proper vacation tip, but it is nice to walk into a Uniqlo and be like, I need underwear, I need socks…and pop seals for your extra days.”

4. Flip-Flops vs. “Fisherman” Sandals: A Microtrend Alive Again

• Fisherman sandals and flip-flops are “back,” polarizing both hosts as they continue to spot both (especially flip-flops) on runways and among fashion people at shows.
• [06:13] Jimmy laments the cyclical nature: “Guys, it was a mistake the first time and now we’re making the same mistake three years later.”
• Larry expresses surprise that flip-flops haven’t died down:
  • [06:25] Larry: “Are you shocked at how flip flops carried over and are going even harder?...I’m seeing so many flip-flops.”
  • Jimmy theorizes it’s basic practicality (“literally people can’t wear socks”).

5. The Burden of a “Hit on the Wrist”

• [07:43] Larry’s watch (nicknamed “the hit on the wrist”) is the subject of constant conversation and, apparently, envy:
  • [08:09] Larry: “He’s got a hit on the wrist.”
  • [07:46] Jimmy: “Honestly, it’s getting so annoying and I can see how annoyed you are. Dude, I’m trying to downplay.”
  • It’s a running joke/validation of social dynamics in the “menswear” scene—a flex that also brings agita due to unsolicited attention.

6. Favorite New Tees and Showroom Regrets

• Shoutout to Jesse Hudnut for the “Generica” (correct pronunciation: “Generica”) ringer tees which have become a summer staple.
• Larry mourns missing out on a mint green Lee showroom tee with a red ringer:
  • [07:33] Larry: “Tea of the year, dude. Need one of those. Perfect color combo.”
  • Small, passionate gear mentions like this pepper the show and give listeners specific product/brand recommendations from insiders.

Tone, Style, and Takeaway

The episode exemplifies the Throwing Fits tone: playful, irreverent, detail-obsessed, and self-aware. Jimmy and Larry toggle between practical travel advice (like buying backup socks at Uniqlo) and inside-baseball menswear jokes (fussing about ringer tee colorways). The "fit check" section, anxiety about spending and overpacking, and the running gag about "hit on the wrist" watches all serve as relatable, humorous nods to the collective anxieties and in-jokes of the fashion community. Fans tuning in get both laughs and surprisingly practical nuggets about how to think about style, travel, and packing for high-pressure fashion events.

Useful for listeners and non-listeners alike: This episode is a snapshot of the unfiltered, self-deprecating camaraderie that defines Throwing Fits—equal parts style diary, friend group groupchat, and knowing fashion-world send-up.

Welcome back to another midweek Boys Only around and Getting Sick with Jimmy and Larry after a Live from Paris podcast with my favorite Wayan Sage Nation.

[Larry]

Live from the motherfucking dungeon.

[Jimmy]

Live from the other conference room.

[Larry]

I think the other one.

[Jimmy]

B. Everything's better.

[Larry]

A is definitely superior. There's. Well, it's more space and better lighting

[Jimmy]

and the lighting's pretty trash. But the AC is better in there.

[Larry]

It was on before the guy. What are the. The. Oh my God. My brain's friend. What is the name of the person who works at the front desk at a hotel Receptionist?

[Jimmy]

Reception.

[Larry]

No, what's is though? Like there's a maitre d style term for that person. Concierge. The concierge. That's not the concierge was nice enough to prep the room for us because I walked in here and it was like, oh, the AC hasn't been on this room for 24 to 48 hours.

[Jimmy]

Shout out my guy Masai, who's very French but has an Australian pin on his that the top?

[Larry]

Is that the man bun guy?

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Okay. Yeah, that guy rocks. Great hospitality here in Perry.

[Jimmy]

Let's get into a fit check real quick.

[Larry]

Okay. I am wearing bally boat shoes.

[Jimmy]

You found some clothes to wear. Is. Did you borrow this polo from Jacob Gallagher?

[Larry]

No, he copied me. I had it first.

[Jimmy]

Okay.

[Larry]

But okay, it wasn't like that to clarify, obviously hamming it up for IG and because the outfit was so ridiculous. But I have things that are, like, for vacation, like, part of, like, not like, looks, but, like, this is supposed to be classic black polo from Stussy Fit Check. Whatever. There it is. I wanted to wear this with a suit. Specifically.

[Jimmy]

You differentiated your polos between fashion week polos and vacation polos.

[Larry]

Yeah, because I, I, they're gonna, they're torched. Like, they need, like, the ones I wore here need to be washed.

[Jimmy]

No, no, I know, but, like, but you like when you're packing for this trip. Yeah, because you had vacation in Paris

[Larry]

fashion week, and well, I have two black ones, right. And I'm like, okay, if I need a black one in Paris, whatever. But I definitely want one on vacation for a look that's in my mind. Jenna gives me a dress code every night that I follow to a T. So there is, for example, there's a high end dressy. There's casual there. So you know that. No, there's more. I mean, do you want me to look? I can get them here. You want. You guys want to know? It is. They're also, like, you know how we always complain about dress codes that are amorphous and make. No.

[Jimmy]

Did she give you dress codes for Paris?

[Larry]

No, no, no. This is just for vacation because she makes all the reservations.

[Jimmy]

Okay, here we go. Yeah. Okay. All right.

[Larry]

Hold on. Sorry, I'm trying to find the share note. Okay.

[Jimmy]

Is this normal way in? If this is normal, even in the comments. If this is normal.

[Larry]

Okay. All right.

[Jimmy]

It's cute.

[Larry]

All right. You want me to go through all the dinners and then you can make what you want. This. Okay, Dinner. One Chic, but not too dressy. Chic. Nice. Nice, but not at all dressy.

[Jimmy]

Nice, but not Chicago.

[Larry]

Chic is richest. Chill dinner. Fit dressing. Nice Chill dinner. So this was going to be part of. I mean, you could throw a fucking dart at the board at this point, but this would have been chic. Nice.

[Jimmy]

But have your. Has your whole plan been blown to smithereens because you've now had to dip into the vacation portion of the suitcase to accommodate having sweat through every.

[Larry]

Yeah. Wearing two outfits a day. To your point. Yes, for everything. But ironically, the nicest dinners. Because those are what the suits are for. Sure, that's what the suits are for.

[Jimmy]

How many suits you bring?

[Larry]

3. Some on them all new, some on them all that I haven't worn yet.

[Jimmy]

Is that the nicest? Richest.

[Larry]

No. But because my old. My First Amal suit is the worm Poop is the nicest, richest suit. And then I have a. A vintage linen pinstripe Armani suit that I have not worn since you and I went to your first and only Pitti two years ago.

[Jimmy]

Oh, when you're called calling paparazzi on yourself, bro.

[Larry]

Sure. Yes, you were. There's a lot. There's gonna be a lot of he said, he said on this pod. I can already tell this Muji shirt story. I would have to clarify.

[Jimmy]

Okay. No, I'm excited.

[Larry]

Okay. Okay. The socks are Shiro. The cargoes are vintage Abercrombie. The presumably Sage nation approved hat is society archive. The sunglasses are sun buddies. TF the Larry.

[Jimmy]

They're out.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Right now. Maybe.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

We don't know when this.

[Larry]

Well, we don't know, but they're the only sunglasses that are going to be touching this handsome face. And the underwear are supreme Hanes and I think that's everything. What about you, Jim?

[Jimmy]

The fisherman mules are hear you here you hear you here you hear you or hear you? I don't know. They're Spanish. They got so expensive in the last few years. I bought these a few years ago. They are now so freaking expensive.

[Larry]

To your credit. I hear a. I hear you a lot about them. But where. Where did we hear you first? On the only podcast that matters.

[Jimmy]

So I guess fisherman sandals are like back after like a three year trend cycle.

[Larry]

Like weird leather strappy ones. It's either that or flip flops. That happened.

[Jimmy]

Guys, it was a mistake the first time and now we're making the same mistake three years later.

[Larry]

Are you shocked at how flip flops carried over and are going even harder? Like on the Runway on, like, fashion people. We're going to shows. I'm seeing so many flip flops.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, but I think that's just a function of like, literally people being like, I can't wear socks. Okay, I'm going to because everyone's going to on vacation out this. I'm going to dip into the vacation portion of the suitcase for Paris Fashion Week.

[Larry]

I'm not doing that because I have my Havanas. I would never d to wear those out in public. No, no.

[Jimmy]

The pants are Giorgio Armani Arquio. The T shirt is Jean Etika. Actually, no, it's pronounced Generica.

[Larry]

No way. Generica.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Wow. Dude. Okay, that good to know because we've been saying it wrong for two years.

[Jimmy]

It's like, because I was chilling. Jesse Hudnut. Oh, I was supposed to go to the showroom and pick up some ringer tees. God damn it. Not gonna have time.

[Larry]

Do you need them for the trip? I guess you still have a couple. I'll pick.

[Jimmy]

I'll pick.

[Larry]

I'll.

[Jimmy]

I'll wear anything.

[Larry]

Okay.

[Jimmy]

I just need anything. I wear a garbage bag.

[Larry]

Oh, you know the best Johnny Rotten. The best ringer tea. I didn't see this in person. I don't. Did you go to the Lee showroom?

[Jimmy]

The what?

[Larry]

Lee.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Did you see eye? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Larry]

There, there's a mint tea with just the like a red ring on the neck.

[Jimmy]

I didn't see that.

[Larry]

Oh, tea of the year, dude. I'm gonna need one of those. Perfect color combo.

[Jimmy]

Zane Shout out. Jason.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Generica T Xeno watch. Star of the week.

[Larry]

What's the amount? Honestly, it's getting so annoying and I

[Jimmy]

can see how annoyed you are. Dude, I'm trying to. I'm trying to downplay.

[Larry]

No, no, no, no.

[Jimmy]

Because I'. My, my friend's annoyed.

[Larry]

No, no.

[Jimmy]

See my friend's Rolex.

[Larry]

What about me? No, it's not. It's just like cuz I. You call your own shot with it. This. You knew. It's like you knew it was going to happen begrudgingly or not. And I literally. It's every conversation. It's insane.

[Jimmy]

It's a hit. Hit.

[Larry]

He's got a hit on the wrist.

[Jimmy]

Got a hit on the wrist. Ol Bracelet Haynes boxers. I'm running danger. Oh, well, dangerously low on the Hanes boxers I usually bring. Like, you know, you pack as if you're going to shit your pants every day. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm going to pack like that. Dangerously close.

[Larry]

I had Jenna bring more. Wow. I mean it's nice to have. It's nice to have you a bitch fly in with more underwear.

[Jimmy]

You know I flew my bitch out with some undies.

[Larry]

Yeah. Rick Ross.

[Jimmy]

Oh, Noah Johnson had to buy some extra box from Ruby Rosa.

[Larry]

Just like that's a ridiculous spend for like Lucy's. Though I will say I've done this before when I was delayed in Paris last time I was here. Something that I don't know if this is a proper vacation tip, but it is nice to like walk into a uniqlo and be like, I need underwear, I need socks and to just get freshies and to pop seals for like your extra days. It is pretty. So I don't know if you have time or if it's worth it, but I don't mind that.

[Jimmy]

I think I'll be good. I'VE I've set aside one pair, and I'm like, for the. I cannot home. For the fight home. These have to remain untouched. Yeah, you have to remain.

[Larry]

It's not even break in case of emergency. You will be free balling before you wear those.

[Jimmy]

No, these are like. These are like. I need to put them in, like, a lead case.
