Larry
Boys only fucking around and getting silly with Jimmy Larry after a delightful big brain. Pleasurable. That sounded weird. Incredible. Cerebral, hilarious episode.
Jimmy
One of the best in a long time. What a lady. What a woman.
Larry
When did you first meet Julie? I think I met her from like BPMW days where she was just kind of a stylist that would come by maybe working for the Fader. Maybe working for like, like W or something. I don't know, like kind of like a higher end fashion magazine that was always like, oh, Julie's coming. Make sure the good original penguin polos are out.
Jimmy
No, only. Only bring out the best for Julie. I think I met her through pesco.
Larry
Make sure all the shades of gray by M. Cohen.
Jimmy
Yeah, every present and accounted for, every shade of every gray. No, I've definitely met her through Pesco because he was her assistant at the Fader. Right. I think he mentioned this morning.
Larry
Yeah. And he would take. There were no messenger services or Uber, so he would just subway every sample to and from.
Jimmy
That's like a New York showroom thing that I still will see every so often. Like a young frazzled person overheating on a sub on the subway with garment bags.
Larry
Yeah, it's hilarious.
Jimmy
It's just a very, very. It's a very New York moment.
Larry
You guys wouldn't get it.
Jimmy
Yeah, no, she's. She's amazing. And honestly, just like pure class dude. And just so fucking good job. One thing that we didn't get to talk about and maybe it's for the best because we really went into this with Wooster her as like a street style icon. Yeah. I'm always curious and obviously this is partly because of like my problems with street style.
Larry
But like what, you're not getting flipped up?
Jimmy
No, no, no, no. Just like my relationship with it is definitely unhealthy and it's like an ego thing. We've joked about it, but your addiction
Larry
to it, but validation through it.
Jimmy
Yeah, yeah, I'm just being sincere. Like I do wonder with someone like her who, you know, likes her safe space, who likes anonymity sometimes that wants to let the work speak for itself. She is like very visible because she's an icon.
Larry
Right.
Jimmy
And I just wonder what she. How she feels about being flicked up constantly.
Larry
I mean, what's she going to do, Dress like shit? No, allergic to that.
Commercial Announcer
Yeah.
Jimmy
Anyway, shout out to her.
Larry
You got to go to the shows.
Jimmy
Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean. Yes. Right. I just think that. And this is not being me, being rude, but I'm sure she has a different relationship with it to Wooster, like, where it's. Wooster, it's a mechanism for, you know, his bottom line. Right. Whereas with Julie, I wonder how much it does or doesn't help her, you know, pursuit when it comes to styling professionally.
Commercial Announcer
Sure.
Jimmy
It can only help, but you never know.
Larry
Anyway, it sounds like she's very, very in control of her career, which is cool. Like, she was like, yeah, I'm kind of moving away from celebrity, which is like. Yeah, that seems like the worst God aspect of anything.
Jimmy
Sure.
Larry
With celebrities.
Jimmy
Yeah. And she made it.
Larry
Not just the celebrities themselves being like, sk. Their schedules, everything's on their time, everything's their final decision. They're usually stupid. Yeah. Things like that.
Jimmy
And she made a great point. The economics and. And I'm a little bit aware of this for my, you know, small amount of time. And I obviously never did red carpet, but hear from. From people that, you know, did similar stuff, like you don't get paid even remotely accurately for what you're doing and the impact you're making. Studios have, like, no budgets. Sometimes you're doing stuff on your own dime, hoping that, like, you know, it'll be paid forward or paid back in this case. And it's just, it's such a racket. And I'm. I'm happy for her that she realizes, like, this is not what I want to do. So you. I'm out.
Larry
Even though there's an article maybe in the cut about how, like, there's no longer Brad Pitt or a Tom Cruise.
Jimmy
Okay.
Larry
In this new generation of movie stars in that they can't command huge box office takes. What they can do. The Jacob Elordi's, the Austin Butlers, the Timothy Chalamet's. They can, like, create sensation and virality.
Jimmy
Yep.
Larry
Around red carpet appearances, around press junkets, around eating spicy chicken wings.
Jimmy
Sure. Around chrome hearts.
Larry
Yeah. But they. Yeah. So like, she. Her take on it was the fact that it's, like, underappreciated for creating the sensationalism that does, like, actually create huge marketing opportunities.
Jimmy
Needle.
Larry
But you're not necessarily paid. Like, I'm sure, you know, let's say a Pedro Pascal fit goes crazy viral. Right. The exposure, whatever they call it, like the cost of exposure. Whatever. Impressions, impressions. The price of impressions would be like, you know, $50 million. Like PR dollars. Sure she's not getting any of that?
Jimmy
Hell no.
Larry
Yeah, but why don't we go viral with a fit check, Larry?
Jimmy
Yeah, okay. I am. Where fit?
Larry
So viral.
Jimmy
I'm wearing Gucci sleds. The socks are Manresa. The fatigues are Jean Erica. The T shirt is vintage. Is a vintage Wake Forest Budweiser Flip. The cardigan is orally. The sunglasses are sun Buddies.
Larry
James. The mules, which Julie complimented.
Jimmy
Oh, wow.
Larry
I hope that made it in Martin Rose Clarks.
Jimmy
Yep. Kind of like they're scrotums.
Larry
Diseased ball sacks.
Jimmy
They are scrotum mules for sure.
Larry
Yeah. The socks are lusso cloud. The jeans are second layer. The T shirt is brand new. Orally. Spring, summer 26. Oh. The color is called top brown.
Jimmy
Top brown.
Larry
Yeah.
Jimmy
Okay. All right.
Larry
And the little jacket is motherfucking pen ed shells, Hanes boxers, thistle sunnies, lower sides, finest in the hydro flask. Let's get into it, buddy. What are you talking about?
Jimmy
First and foremost, what do you think of her? Of the most dangerous game that she's playing? I could never listen. Must be nice. That's like a pro. Maybe veteran move making shopping fun. Maybe I need more novelty games to make me enjoy shopping, but I cannot even. This is the first thing I look at after I just see something that I'm, like, interested in remotely. Right. The price tag.
Larry
I respect it, and I do wish I could do that. Not in terms of it being a flex, but I do think that if price was out. Sure was out of the equation. Then you should judge something based, like, purely on its merits and not necessarily just like its cost. Obviously, its merits factor into the cost. Sure, but that's what. That's like the whole thing at Vent. Oh, right.
Jimmy
Well, no label, no price.
Larry
The hangers. The hangers cover up the price tags, which I think creates a little bit of a high pressure situation for dudes where it's like, yo, you're pussy or you're broke. If you ask about the price, you're put your pussy are broke. If you bring it up to the cash register and they bring it up, you're like, oh, actually, never mind. Yeah, I'm good. Because that happened to me.

Throughout the episode, Jimmy and Larry maintain their irreverent and self-deprecating tone—mocking fashion, themselves, and the industry at large with both affection and cynicism. The episode combines insider perspective with relatable anxieties and plenty of playful ribbing.
This episode offers an inside look at the daily grind of fashion stylists, the odd pressures of street style culture, and the business realities behind the glamorous red carpet. With characteristic Throwing Fits wit, the hosts break down the ecosystem of celebrity style, perceive shifts in what constitutes fashion virality for Gen Z stars, and joke about the anxieties of shopping at intimidating boutiques. If you care about what’s cool in fashion—or just want to hear two dirtbags overthink the meaning of street style—this preview delivers both laughs and uncommon insight.
