Key Discussion Points & Insights

Reflections on the Carter Young Interview

• Carter's Podcast Debut

  • Carter had never done a podcast before; Jimmy and Larry took pride in welcoming him and providing a “gentle” introduction to the medium.
  • Jimmy: “You always remember your first. And we're gonna treat you right. We're gonna caress you down.” (01:42)
  • The hosts joke about “popping” Carter’s podcast cherry.
  • Jimmy and Larry highlight a particularly funny story Carter shared at the end of his segment involving people confusing him for “the dare.”

  • Recently, Throwing Fits distributed a listener survey after their return to regular programming (two months back) to better understand community preferences.
  • Larry: “Thank you to the millions of people that answered... I think one of the prevailing... feelings... was like, yo, we want more... behind the scenes guys.” (02:22)
  • Discussion on striking a balance between high-profile celebrity guests and plenty of “for the heads” underground favorites (like Carter Young).
  • The hosts express relief their own taste was validated, as they prefer in-depth conversations with genuine creators over chasing mainstream fame.
  • Jimmy: “It's not even confirmation bias... I think that... there's a lot of value there. I think that... there’s got to be a portion of the audience [that] wants to hear...” (04:07)

On Sunglasses, Social Cues, and Sartorial Psychosis

• The duo riff on when and where it’s appropriate (or questionable) to wear sunglasses, both for practical and social reasons:

  • Jimmy: “I'm not a sunglasses on the train guy.”
