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.”

• Balancing Guests: Audience Feedback vs. Instinct

  • 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)

The Art of the “Fit Check”

  • Colbo hat
  • Thistles sunglasses (“pretty see through”)
  • Brady Brand underwear
  • Hydro Flask (Lori Site’s finest)
  • Commentary on sunglasses: “I typically would go for sunglasses where you cannot see my beady Jew eyes... But yeah, I wanted to switch it up.” (05:50)

• Larry’s Fit

  • Rear Solomon boots (“for the plantar fasciitis,” lace garage debated)
  • Second Layer jeans
  • Literary Sport base layer
  • MHL (Margaret Howell Fusion label) shirt
  • Our Legacy Workshop x outdoor label jacket (“they just dip-dyed this”)
  • Hanes boxers
  • Thistles sunglasses (designer adjusted for a better fit)
  • Hydro Flask (Lori Site’s finest)
  • On the jacket: “You haven’t seen this collab? I've wore this jacket so many times…” (10:36)

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.”
  • Larry: “I’ll wear sunglasses on the train because I get... sometimes it’s mad bri on there. Sometimes it's just easier to leave them on than to... take them off and... put them in a pocket.” (06:56)
  • They commiserate about wanting to look good in event photos, using sunglasses to shield “lecherous peepers,” and those infamous BFA watermarked photos.

• Collectively, they laugh off the notion of being “dorks” for wearing sunglasses indoors or on public transport and poke fun at their self-image:

  • Larry: “No one thinks that you have the lecherous peepers that you... really lecherous wolf eyes. Perverted hungry like the wolf user eyes.” (08:39)

• Event photography protocols:

  • Jimmy admits he’ll put on sunglasses last-minute for pictures: “I will do the embarrassing thing so that the end result ultimately is better for everybody who has to see this photo.” (08:19)

[Larry]

Visit t mobile.com welcome to another midweek boys only episode with Jimmy and Larry. After podcasting for an hour and a half. Ish.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Hour 45, I think so. With Carter Altman, also known as Carter Young. Altman, the eponymous designer or the designer of his eponymous brand, Carter Young. Thank you, Carter, for making time for us on your very quick John over to New York City.

[Jimmy]

Never done a podcast before, I believe. No. And you always remember your first. And we're gonna treat you right. We're gonna caress you down.

[Larry]

We pop that cherry gently.

[Jimmy]

We're. We're gentle lovers.

[Larry]

If you didn't. Yeah. If you didn't. If you didn't catch it at the very end, make sure you get his story about how everyone thinks he's the dare.

[Jimmy]

That was really funny. And honestly, like, when. When forgetting about Carter being the homie and making great clothes that we love and wear. But like, if any guest is like, wait, before we end, there's one more bit I wanted to get in, you're like, oh, God. But that was really funny. The truth, the truth to the dare.

[Larry]

Yeah. Wait till the buzzer to get your best story in. No, I'm kidding. It was a banger front to back. And yeah, I, I think this warrants maybe comment. Commenting up top, just before we get into a fit. Check is, I hope that people, when we sent out that survey. Are you nervous right now about what I'm about to say? So we've been back on the air for like back on like our. Back on our. For what, two months now at this point? When this pod comes out, I think it'll be exactly two months. And we sent out that long ass survey or that big survey. And thank you to the millions of people that answered. Yeah, I think one of the, the, the prevailing, you know, feelings in the, in the, in the vibrosphere was like, yo, we want more like if, you know, you know, and kind of like behind the scenes guys. And, and I think that Carter's always been on our radar since he's in London, but when we found out he's going to be, it's like, all right, perfect. Like, this guy makes a sick brand that you see on your favorite YouTube show creators.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

When they meet with our current mayor, I hope. I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. So I think that, you know.

[Jimmy]

He'S.

[Larry]

Indicative of the balance that we're trying to strike between like big, bold faced, sexy names and then also, just. Also sexy, but more just like, oh, these are like heads. Yeah, for the heads.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. It wasn't like, I think that the survey was great when it came to. Yeah. Like, booking. I think you guys made it clear. And here's the thing. It's like, we want to talk to Carter.

[Larry]

Whether or not anything the, the survey like validated. I think what we actually felt where instead of being like, oh, we got to get like the biggest celebrities and the Grammy winners and the this and that and the other, it's like, no, we want to get like Carter's in the chat. It's not even Avery's and everyone. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

It's not even confirmation bias.

[Larry]

It's like, I think that, well, there's.

[Jimmy]

A lot of value there. I think that, you know, Carter might be young and he might be and he's in the middle of what feels like a nice little run, but it's like there's a lot of serviceable, actionable advice that I think that there's got to be a portion of the audience wants to hear. And like I said, we want to talk to him regardless. And to know that you guys want mics in that conversation and the record button to be hit, it's like, yeah, dude. I was so fucking pleased versus, like, people being like, I don't know. I don't know who. What. What they would. I mean, maybe politicians is not really my personal bag. So people like, yo, have. We want to hear both sides get some politicians on that. No, I would say that's what I would. The one thing I probably would be like, do I actually need to participate in this now? But it wasn't anything like that. It was what we wanted to hear was my point.

[Larry]

Stick to drip. Shut up and dripple.

[Jimmy]

Shut up and drip.

[Larry]

All right, let's get into Fitch.

[Jimmy]

Okay, I am wearing second layer Charo boots. The socks are Manresa. The denim are vintage Levi's 501s. My thermal is bare knuckles. My thermal over my thermal is my shirt. Our shirt. A throwing fits work shirt that we did two years ago. A year ago in this beautiful flannel pattern, custom dyed as always. The hat is colbo and yeah, Lori. Sight's finest in the hydro flask.

[Larry]

Gunnies.

[Jimmy]

Oh, thistles today.

[Larry]

Put those on. How See through those pretty see through.

[Jimmy]

But here's. I. I picked these because I don't have anything like this. I have. I had.

[Larry]

Yes, you do.

[Jimmy]

No, I had a pair of yellow lenses. Glasses. Oh, you lost them. Awesome.

[Larry]

Sorry.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I live. I. I prefer. I typically would go for sunglasses where you cannot see my beady Jew eyes.

[Larry]

But my words, not yours.

[Jimmy]

But. But yeah, I wanted to switch it up.

[Larry]

Ever catch yourself accidentally, like, ogling in ways that you maybe shouldn't and you're like, oh, I'm wearing the see throughs today?

[Jimmy]

No, not. No, no, no, Never.

[Larry]

Okay.

[Jimmy]

Getting busted. When's the last time you got busted for being a pervert?

[Larry]

That baddy on the train should go unaugled.

[Jimmy]

Well, on the train, I'm not wearing sunglasses. And you know, it's funny. Like, today I'm literally on the train and I saw, like, a kind of cool guy. And I was like, he's wearing some crazy Solomons. And I'm like, yeah, I'm cartoon wolfing over a guy's fit. No. What ruined it for me as I worked my lecherous eyes up from the Solomons. He's wearing sunglasses on the train. And I'm like, bro, you're dork. I'm not a sunglasses on the train guy.

[Larry]

Your sunglasses. While taking photos inside on rainy Day guy.

[Jimmy]

Photos. Photos again. To cover up my beady, lecherous peepers.

[Larry]

I'll wear sunglasses on train because I get. Sometimes it's mad bri on there. Sometimes it's just easier. It's easier to leave them on than to, like, take them off and, like, put them in a pocket and then have to take them out again.

[Jimmy]

And easier than just taking. They're the e. Sunglasses to me, are the easiest thing to take on or no put on or take off.

[Larry]

So easy to just leave on.

[Jimmy]

So your sunglasses on the train, guys, while I'm here.

[Larry]

I'm not one. I'm not one or the other.

[Jimmy]

I. What's the. What's the one place you would never wear sunglasses? You're like, I'm a dork at the.

[Larry]

Club because it's too dark. I'll bump into.

[Jimmy]

I'm too old, bro. I don't have the vision.

[Larry]

No, it's not even that. Like, it's just too dark. I'll be bumping in the. I was at some event last week and I got my photo taken. I was like, I wish I was wearing my sunglasses because the photo came out.

[Jimmy]

I was like, I will say that the flash. Because we take pictures every multiple times a week for this podcast, and people have noticed that we are typically almost always wearing sunglasses and those pictures are taken inside. I've been more cognizant of, like, being like, okay, clearly, I. And maybe all people, like, look better. Average people look better with sunglasses. Where if I'm in an event and a photographer approaches me to take a photo, I hate being that guy. But now be like, actually, hold on one second. I know, dude. I know.

[Advertisement Voice]

I'm.

[Jimmy]

Yo. How can you hand up? That's on me. I mean, whatever.

[Larry]

But then the photo gets out there, and then you take the screenshot with the BFA watermark and then you post it.

[Jimmy]

My thing is that if the. If a photo is being taken and I have an opportunity to objectively make myself look better, I will do the embarrassing thing so that the end result ultimately is better for everybody who has to see this photo.

[Larry]

No, it's just for you. Because no one thinks that you have the lecherous peepers that you.

[Jimmy]

Bey. Bey.

[Larry]

Really lecherous wolf eyes. Perverted hungry like the wolf user eyes.

[Jimmy]

All right.

[Larry]

Yeah, don't do that. If I'm with you at the event, someone takes a photo of us, you're not allowed to take your sunglasses.

[Jimmy]

Slap them out of my hand.

[Larry]

Yes, I. I am.

[Jimmy]

Put them on anyway. Can we pot let's just pop with them on anyway.

[Larry]

That.

[Jimmy]

Oh, and then Brady brand underwear. That's the fit check.

[Larry]

See, I. I don't. If. If I'm at a. Now that you have them on, I want to take them off. Shocker. No, it's not like that.

[Jimmy]

It's just like, oh, now we're the coolant. Who did. Oh, Chris Hein wore a Mon pod.

[Larry]

That's right.

[Jimmy]

These were like chrome though, or something. So I get it, you know.

[Larry]

Huh. He's wearing.

[Jimmy]

I think we're Jacques Marie Maj. Oh, jmm. Yeah.

[Larry]

All right. I'm wearing rear Solomon boots for the plantar fasciitis. The socks are also.

[Jimmy]

Yo. You're not using the lace garage on the Salomons.

[Larry]

I don't really ever wear the use lace garage. Okay, so these are. These are lace.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Yeah. Super tight for the support. Normally it's like they're just like this.

[Jimmy]

But if they're lace tight and then you have more cable. That's what the lace garage is, I guess. Four when I'm walking. Yeah. Covered up.

[Larry]

The jeans are second layer. The similar to your thermal, but more of a performance. Base layer is literally sport. But I think similar to you I did for having a little texture.

[Jimmy]

Do you wear a jacket today?

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Oh.

[Larry]

The shirt on top of this literary sport is mhl, AKA Margaret Howe for.

[Jimmy]

Broke Boys, the Fusion label.

[Larry]

And the jacket is our legacy Workshop. It was a. Our legacy. That was a workshop collab with. Hold on.

[Jimmy]

I always get this wrong one. Do it right. Do it right. Jimbo Peep. The label, the tag evac. What is that?

[Larry]

It's like a. It's like an outdoorsy outwear brand.

[Jimmy]

That's cool.

[Larry]

I don't know if I've seen that they. Yeah. You know, this collaboration. They just dip dyed this. You haven't seen this jacket. You haven't seen this Collab.

[Jimmy]

The jacket.

[Larry]

I've wore this jacket so many times. We're in Paris together and I wore it every day.

[Advertisement Voice]

Okay.

[Larry]

So maybe just maybe you had your sunglasses on or you just weren't appreciative. Maybe just weren't looking at the people around. You'd only concerned about yourself. I don't know. But sunglasses are hopefully not that. Thistle. Thistle's. Ow.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

I couldn't wear the. The OG owls because they were too thin on my face and they would like squeeze my face and kind of come off.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

But I think they Thistle. The designer adjusted the fit. Now these fit perfectly. And the sun. The panties are Hanes boxers. Sipping on a hydro flask Glory site's finest.
