Throwing Fits — PATREON PREVIEW Skimmy Bones (October 1, 2025)

Overview

In this “boys only” midweek episode of Throwing Fits, hosts Jimmy and Larry deliver unfiltered banter straight to their Patreon audience. Coming off a high-profile interview, they riff on recent podcast guests, fittingly nerd out over their outfits in a trademark “fit check,” dive into the dubious joys of skim milk, and detour through coffee culture, raw milk legality, and music takes—always with signature self-deprecation and humor. (Ad reads and intros omitted.)

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Post-Podcast Reflections: The Most Interesting Man in Music

• The hosts open by marveling at their latest guest, who boasts accolades like Grammy and Oscar wins as well as author status. They’re astounded and amused that he reportedly edits his own Wikipedia page (“Glad to clear that up. Doing journalism as we always do... he himself edits it.” — Jimmy, 00:29).
• They express both admiration and skepticism about a figure of such stature still handling mundane online tasks, joking about humility and the accuracy of his Wikipedia stats.
• The recurring theme: Is self-promotion online ever really valid? Should you make your own Wikipedia page?

2. “Fit Check” Rundowns: Rainy Day Drip

• As always, the podcast segues into a detailed breakdown of daily outfits.
  • Larry’s Fit: Timberlands (“because it was raining”), Bottega Veneta jeans, Cortez beater, vintage Woolrich work shirt, Snake America hat, “Rolly on the wrist,” and “our legacy Stussy boxers. Because I’m in desperate need of some laundry.” (02:11–02:52)
  • Jimmy’s Fit: Throwing Fits x DMA collab outerwear, random short socks, Arach jeans (“they’re pretty wide, I can only wear them with a boot or fat ass sneaker”), Engineered Garments tee, Orly Skipper Polo, Broken Arm hat, and Arc’teryx rain jacket—standard rainproof cycling gear. (08:15–09:17)
• They rib each other about ankle size, fit choices, and the practicalities of city style on a rainy day.

3. The Skim Milk Debate: Upbringing, Taste, and Strong Bones?

• Larry reveals his upbringing as a “skim milk household.” (03:32–03:46)
  • “My bones are skinny, but they’re strong.” — Larry, 04:02
• They mock skim milk passionately:
  • “When I see skim milk, it is just like chalky ass water.” — Jimmy, 04:33
  • Larry concedes: “No, it’s definitely white water for sure.” (04:45)
• Talk veers into adult beverage choices (how much milk in coffee?), health, and what it means when your adult preferences are shaped by childhood.
• Both clarify where they stand on actual coffee:
  • Larry: “I just want... a dash of skim and I’m good to go. That’s really—I just want it for the caffeine. I don’t enjoy, like, drinking coffee.”
  • Jimmy: “Oh, I love drinking coffee.” (05:17–05:18)
• Additional fun tangent on the underrated joys of coffee ice cream and the dessert affogato.

4. Raw Milk, Coffee Snobbery, and Libertarian Dairy Rights

• The conversation moves toward the cultural moment of “raw milk,” its legality, and rumors about its taste and health effects.
• “It’s a state’s right issue. It’s the abortion of dairy.” — Jimmy, 07:25
• “It’s the plan B pill of dairy.” — Jimmy, 07:31
• They share a short anecdote about almost buying raw milk in Vermont but chickening out due to impending wedding plans and not wanting to risk stomach issues.
• There’s also a little riff on regional pride (Vermont vs. New Hampshire, Ethan Allen) and whether any of this is actually cool.
• They touch on the current trend of not seeing skim milk in cafes anymore, only at diners.

5. Coffee, Rituals, and Price Sensitivity

• Jimmy admits to overspending on cold brew for podcasting: “I pay a little too much for my liking for the daily cold brew...” (06:39)
• Larry clarifies he’s not a coffee snob and doesn’t care for coffee’s taste, just its function.
• There’s a tangent about “coffee dry rub on a steak,” the Dunkin versus bougie coffee debate, and how many podcasts they’re recording that week (“six podcasts this week,” Larry, 06:45).

6. Music Mini-Analysis: The Police

• Jimmy shares listening to a live Police album while biking in the rain (09:39), triggering nostalgic music discussion.
• “Police are one of the best—one of the best trios, I would say.” — Larry, 09:47
• Quick speculation about how notable producer Mark Ronson would rank The Police, and riffing on the band’s reggae influences and reputation.
• “Well, it’s white guys acting black. I’m sure he loves them.” — Jimmy, 09:58
• Final amusing moments include Sting’s presence at the U.S. Open with Shaggy, and hypothetical celebrity interactions (“That Sting’s culture, dude.” — Larry, 10:25)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “To have an Academy award winner on the podcast is crazy. But the fact that someone of that stature...does all these things himself. Humble guy.” — Larry (00:38)
• “If you do [your Wikipedia page] yourself, it’s not real, dude.” — Larry (01:28)
• “Two types of people in this world: Doers and...problem solvers.” — Jimmy (01:38)

Tone & Style

As always, Jimmy and Larry keep the mood light, irreverent, and self-aware—unafraid to poke fun at themselves or each other. Their banter lands somewhere between nitpicky menswear geekery and deadpan observational humor, combining cultural commentary, nostalgia, and their entrenched positions in the “dirtbag” podcasting lifestyle.

This episode is a casual, comedic exploration of taste, ritual, and self-image—a true Throwing Fits boys-only session.
