Throwing Fits: PATREON PREVIEW Met Gala Insider Trading

Date: May 1, 2026
Hosts: James Harris and Lawrence Schlossman
Theme: Navigating post-Italy adventures, flight etiquette (with a sartorial angle), inventing garments for modern problems—all served with trademark irreverence and self-awareness.

---

Episode Overview

In this Patreon preview, James and Lawrence reunite post-Italy adventure for an unfiltered catch-up, dissecting their recent travel mishaps and the logistical chaos that comes with running a global podcast. The focus rapidly shifts from apologizing for the late Miyako Belize episode to a signature deep dive on men’s travel and airline etiquette, with a comedic brainstorm on much-needed garment innovation. It's a classic Throwing Fits blend: equal parts fashion, function, and filth.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Post-Italy Housekeeping & Excuses (01:46 - 02:24)

• The hosts apologize for the delayed episode drop, blaming travel to Italy and time zones:

  “And then we forgot we were in Italy.” – James Harris (02:22)
  “Italy, working with Italians.” – Lawrence Schlossman (02:24)

• Teasers for upcoming content about their live show with Giorgio Armani and Miyako Belize.

---

2. In-Flight Sock & Slipper Etiquette (02:24 - 05:57)

Where hygiene and comfort collide—do you double up on socks, rock slippers, or brave the bathroom barefoot?

• Lawrence admits to wearing the provided socks over his normal socks:

  “If they're slippers that are complimentary, then I'm not double bagging. The socks can kick rocks. No pun intended.” (02:46)
  “I'll use the socks and just leave them on the plane.” (03:14)

• James’s Bathroom Protocol:

  “When I lay down and sleep, I take my socks off... They’re covered in the blanket. The blanket is under them in the footstool.” (04:21)

• Vivid debate on the grossness scale of various in-flight foot strategies:

  “Your pissy ass socks are just like on the blanket on your seat...” – James Harris (03:51)
  “None of that is coming home with me. None of that is mine. Yeah, but you’re a paying customer.” – Lawrence Schlossman (03:55)

• Bathroom Anxiety:

  “Almost pissed my pants when I got off the flight.” – James Harris (05:13)

• Big takeaway: Both hosts have elaborate (and slightly disgusting) routines for in-flight cleanliness, with neither willing to cross the ‘barefoot in the airplane bathroom’ threshold.

---

3. Fit Check & Gear Shoutouts (06:02 - 07:54)

Signature Throwing Fits: A full inventory of airplane style.

• Lawrence’s fit: Ruby Rosa slippers, man risa socks, MF Pen jeans (“these are my plain jeans”), a new Uru cotton V-neck from Tokyo.

• James and Lawrence realize their shared brand discovery trajectory:

  “It’s a brand that I learned about from you from the fit check, which is honestly, the fit check is unbeatable intel and recon.” – Lawrence Schlossman (07:20)

• Existential knits anxiety:

  “The idea of like hand washing knits… I hope that I’m not too stinky.” – Lawrence Schlossman (08:16)

---

4. “Inventing” the Ultimate Pit Garment (08:33 - 11:13)

A hilarious Shark Tank–esque riff: How do you protect your expensive knits from armpit sweat without suffering through a full undershirt?

• James wishes for something “that only like, covers your pits...like wraps around your shoulders, comes across your back, and wraps on the other shoulder” (09:06).

• Lawrence calls it:

  “A dental dam for your pit skis.” (09:26)

• The brainstorm quickly turns to absurdity (and maybe genius?):

  “If she doesn’t want me at my compression halter top, she doesn’t deserve me in my Uru.” – James Harris (11:07)

• They crowdsource for designs—Patreon listeners are invited to submit drawings:

  “Winner will get 50% of all revenue. Actually, 30, 33%...60, 40. Let’s go. Patent pending.” – James Harris (09:43)

• Checks for existence:

  “This 1000% exists. This is a Shark Tank ass thing.” – Lawrence Schlossman (11:15)
  “I’m getting a lot of gay club rave stuff.” – James Harris (11:21)
  “Leather daddy halter. Yeah. These are leather bras for the discernment gentleman.” – Lawrence Schlossman (11:29)

---

5. Underwear Choices, Laundry, and Saving the Best for Later (11:40 - 12:06)

• James reveals the logic behind underwear selection: don’t use your best pairs on laundry day, save them for trips.

  “Why don’t I save my best underwear for my upcoming…For my next trip and why don’t I just run the fucking…These are great. They’re like…it’s a rip stop nylon kind of boxer. It’s fun.” – Lawrence Schlossman (11:49, lightly paraphrased for clarity)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On in-flight foot hygiene:
  “I love the idea of you go to the airplane bathroom barefoot, which I know people have done that.” – Lawrence Schlossman (04:44)

• On innovating for sweaty pits:
  “Let’s invent that real quick. Everyone submit your drawings. Your tech design throwing fits. Come on, man. Patreon just DM us.” – James Harris (09:29)

• On living your most shameless travel life:
  “If she doesn’t want me at my compression halter top, she doesn’t deserve me in my Uru.” – James Harris (11:07)

• On unexpected research results:
  “I’m getting a lot of gay club rave stuff.” – James Harris (11:21)

Tone & Style

True to Throwing Fits form, the tone is laidback, self-effacing, and laced with both irreverent banter and real insight into the challenges and micro-decisions of style-minded travelers. The chemistry between James and Lawrence keeps things rolling—no topic too trivial, no garment too niche.

---

Bottom Line:

Perfect background for your own next layover—or while doing laundry to save your best underwear.

[James Harris]

We are joined by the vroom vroom vixen, Lawrence Schlossman, myself the Sultan of Suede, James Harris. Welcome to the weekly Running the Boys

[Lawrence Schlossman]

with Tasteful episode, Only available on www.ThrowingFits.com.

[James Harris]

before we get into breaking down our live show with Giorgio Armani and Miyako Belize. Almost missing a flight back home from Italy.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Whoopsie.

[James Harris]

Hitting Miami for F1 weekend housekeeping apologies for the late posting of the Miyako episode. Yeah, we will talk about it.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

Behind the pay wall. Ideally.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah. I do love that. We're like, yeah, it might come out a day early than normal.

[James Harris]

And then we forgot we were in Italy.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Italy working with Italians. Okay, fit check. I am wearing Ruby Rosa slippers straight from la. Crushed. Yeah.

[James Harris]

I have a question. When you are on a flight and you get the socks in the Travel kit. Do you put them over your other socks?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Did you not see me do that? Cuz I. Yeah.

[James Harris]

So basically I, I saw you like socking up, but I didn't know if

[Lawrence Schlossman]

you're double bagging or double bagged because if it. If they're slippers that are complimentary, then I'm not double bagging. The socks can kick rocks. No pun intended. I'll go slippers when I want to go to the bathroom.

[James Harris]

Whatever.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

This LA company doesn't offer slippers.

[James Harris]

Okay.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Just socks with little Grippies on the bottom.

[James Harris]

Okay.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

So I went put those over my socks and those became like socks that were worn to the bathroom and back. Yeah.

[James Harris]

What?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

That's. I would rather not wear my beautiful slippers to the bathroom. I'll use the socks and just leave them on the plane. They're one use. It would be like when you go to try shoes on. Right.

[James Harris]

I see what you're saying.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

You get a stocking. I'm not saying it's not gross. I'm like. That was my. I thought that was my best option for comfort, bro.

[James Harris]

You go to. You go to the bathroom socks. Also those bathroom those when they offer slippers to use those in the bathroom. Not those don't. Those don't cut it. You gotta put your shoes on and

[Lawrence Schlossman]

go to the bathroom. Yeah, for sure. You could absolutely do that. I'm. It's come back piece of. And I'm disgusting.

[James Harris]

So then your pissy ass socks are just like on the blanket on your

[Lawrence Schlossman]

seat and none of those. The seat, the little footstool. None of that is coming home with me. None of that is mine. Yeah, but you're a paying customer.

[James Harris]

You're wallowing in it for nine hours.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I was wallowing in a lot worse, bro. Trust me.

[James Harris]

No.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

What did you flight back? Yeah, out. So what do you do? So you just. When you went to the bathroom, you put your shoes on.

[James Harris]

I put my shoes on. Okay. And try not to step in any piss.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Or did you use the complimentary socks at all?

[James Harris]

No. Okay, gotcha.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No, the Grippies were a nice touch.

[James Harris]

I'm gross in that I take my. When I lay down and sleep, I take my socks off and I'm barely. That's also gross.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

But if they're covered in the blanket, I'm not judging.

[James Harris]

They're covered in the blanket. They're. The blanket is under them in the footstool. I'm not. If I'm like not putting my.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Wait, what's. What is grosser?

[James Harris]

I'm not.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I don't know.

[James Harris]

I'm not putting my feet up, like in someone's seat.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Right.

[James Harris]

With my bare feet. I'm not like, touching anything with my bare feet except the blanket.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I love the idea of you go to the airplane bathroom barefoot, which I

[James Harris]

know people have done that.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

So when you.

[James Harris]

So when you get up, people do that.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

When. I mean, I. You could see anything on a plane.

[James Harris]

Seen it all.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah. When you do have to leave your seat and go to the restroom and climb over you.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Although I was trying to be. If I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to maneuver. To be clear. I'm also.

[James Harris]

I didn't. I didn't. If you were sleeping, I didn't piss.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Really. Was there any scenario for an extended period of time where you held it in? Yeah.

[James Harris]

Almost pissed my pants when I got off the flight.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Brother, you should have just fucking. Anyway, it's fine. My question for you is, when you're barefoot in the seat.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Blanket, condom going. And you have to use the bathroom, you're putting your socks back on and your shoes back on.

[James Harris]

Yeah. Oh, wow.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It seems like a lot of work. Maybe. Maybe you should have used the. The complimentary socks on bare feet. No.

[James Harris]

Okay.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Anyway, just. Just some. Just some food for thought with the

[James Harris]

little vanity kits they give you. I don't need any of that. Except mask. No. I bring my own. I was dying. I forgot. I couldn't. I misplaced my lip balm all week, so my lips were chapped as hell, so I was dying for some lip balm.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

There was.

[James Harris]

I know it was. It was trash.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

You just leave the fully clothed. You don't open it up.

[James Harris]

No. Wow.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

All right. I like. I love a freebie. Dog should come as no surprise to the audience at home.

[James Harris]

Okay. So you got the ruby roses.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I got them. I got the. I dropped the top. We're crushed right now. The socks are man risa. The jeans are MF pen. These have since been washed because these were. I. These are my plain jeans. So comfortable. But they've been washed natural. I mean, that would be. That's beyond the pale, even for me. The sweater is a new 100% cotton V neck from Uru, Japanese Tokyo.

[James Harris]

Crazy that you bought it.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It's that good. I was. I know you have.

[James Harris]

I believe you have a quarter zip from them.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

Do I?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I think you do. From an son, right? Yeah, I think you do. Only you are you Uru. Do I. I'm almost positive you do.

[James Harris]

No, I don't think I have this.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I'm almost positive you do.

[James Harris]

I. I'll go home and check the quarter zip section.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I was gonna say I'm almost. I'm almost positive you have a brown Uru quarter zip.

[James Harris]

Uru.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah, dude. I mean, listen, shout out to an son. I don't know any other store in America that carries Uru. This is, well, North America.

[James Harris]

Haven carries it. It looks like I did.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I. What did I say?

[James Harris]

America?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah, shout out to Uru. Next up, out of Japan. You could fucking book it. The shit is not cheap. But it's not like a press a prices, right? But it's fucking fire. This is a fucking banger. The. And I'm just going, it's so comfy. I'm going, nips on fucking knit, dude. Whoa. Yeah. Which.

[James Harris]

And that's it. No coat?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No.

[James Harris]

Crazy.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

But what I am worried about, which I didn't think about, is I'm not a big sweater with stinky pits, but I'm like, oh, I having the sweater that I don't know about you. The idea of like hand washing knits. No, you know what? I'm a little. I hope that I'm not too stinky.

[James Harris]

Yo, yo. All my designer homies, pay attention real quick.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

Let's invent a new garment. Okay. Because there are many times where I want to wear a knit and I don't want to wear a shirt underneath, but I don't want my armpits. I'm not a big bo guy, but still, like, it gets a little funky and I get to like air it out, wash it out, whatever. And so the answer is always, like, wear an undershirt underneath. I don't want to wear a V neck underneath.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No.

[James Harris]

And the beater doesn't do Anything because your pits are still exposed.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Total, total truth.

[James Harris]

Vent. Some sort of like, like shawl thing that only like, covers your pits.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Just. Just.

[James Harris]

It's like.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It's like.

[James Harris]

It like wraps around your shoulders, comes across your back, and wraps on the other shoulder.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It's like a halter.

[James Harris]

Halter top.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

You need like, but.

[James Harris]

But it's like a. It's like a. A female sanitary napkin for your pets, your pits. That just. Just to create a barrier between the funk fun and the cotton or wool fibers.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

A dental dam for your pit skis.

[James Harris]

Let's invent that real quick. Everyone submit your drawings. Your tech design throwing fits. Come on, man. Patreon just DM us. And winner will get 50% of all revenue. Actually. 30, 33%.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

That seems fair.

[James Harris]

60. 40. Let's go. 60, 40. Patent pending. But I think that this is for real. Like a beater does nothing. It keeps your back off. It keeps your back sweat off. The garment, like supposedly absorb stuff and creates like a little air pocket. Air bubble that's supposed to cool you down a little bit. So they say, you know, like.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

And you just look cool.

[James Harris]

If I want to wear a suede shirt, I didn't want to wear like this shirt underneath. I can't do that because then.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

I can't put pits on suede.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

That's what.

[James Harris]

I can't put pits on skin.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah. I mean, you're right, because the beater is not gonna. You need.

[James Harris]

Right.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

We need an Allen Iverson style shooting sleeve just for.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Pits on pelt.

[James Harris]

Exactly.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Is that the title? Do we do. We're trying to be more clickbaity.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Vrbo Host]

That's not.

[James Harris]

That's not the one. Something, man. Something. Let's figure it out. It's just like it covers your shoulder and your pit and then wraps around and get.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

And about like an extra, extra small compression style Mitchell Robinson T shirt like he wears under his jersey. It's like so small. Yeah.

[James Harris]

But you would still see it.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I guess you're right. Yeah. You want to. Yeah.

[James Harris]

You want.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No. You want no visual evidence from the front that you're wearing an undergarment? Yeah.

[James Harris]

And also without somebody that runs hot, if you don't have anything like, you know, smothering your body, then you're good too. It's. It's just to keep the pits.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Have you off. Have you thought about the off the fibers. When you eventually get back to the bedroom with a lucky lady and you pop off whatever you're wearing and you have on a crazy compression style halter Top.

[James Harris]

I mean, it happened to Kramer, right? In Seinfeld.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

True.

[James Harris]

With the bro. The bro bra.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

If she does. If she doesn't want me at my compression halter top, she doesn't deserve me in my Uru.

[James Harris]

Men's halter top that covers armpits.

[Grow Therapy Host]

There's good.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

This. You know this. I was going to say we're out here inventing new garments. This 1000% exists. This is a shark tank ass thing.

[James Harris]

There's. I'm getting a lot of gay club rave, rave stuff.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Let me see. Oh, yeah, dude.

[James Harris]

Leather daddy halter.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah. These are leather bras for the discernment gentleman.

[James Harris]

It doesn't exist. All right, I just invented a new garment. It's up to you guys out there. Can't we do to execute it?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Okay, so hat Sorbaras underwear. Our legacy workshop boxers.

[James Harris]

Nice. Laundry day.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No, yesterday was laundry day. Hence why these jeans are clean from the flight. But I was just like, you know what? Why don't I save my best underwear for my upcoming. For my next trip and why don't I just run the fucking. These are great. They're like. It's a rip stop nylon kind of boxer. It's fun.

[James Harris]

They're not nylon. Are they Nylon?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Sorry. Well, yo, maybe.

[James Harris]

No way.
