*SUBSTACK PREVIEW* Accidental Nude Tourism

Summary

Throwing Fits: SUBSTACK PREVIEW Accidental Nude Tourism

Date: August 15, 2025
Hosts: Lawrence Schlossman & James Harris

Episode Overview

In this "boys only" Substack preview, Lawrence and James get together across time zones—Lawrence at home in Brooklyn and James stationed in a Bavarian hostel (or, as it turns out, a not-so-hostile hotel)—to recap recent European adventures. The hosts trade stories about travel mishaps, high/low fashion, fit checks, and a particularly memorable (and accidental) stay at a nude hotel, all while riffing in their signature, irreverent banter. The episode blends catching up, travel talk, sartorial details, beer snobbery, and philosophical musings about boyhood and adulthood—always with their self-deprecating humor front and center.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Boys with today's full episode only available on www.thongfits.com.

[James Harris]

Good morning, Lawrence.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It is very. Well, not very early, but this is the earliest I think we ever. I've ever potted.

[James Harris]

You've ever. You've ever been awake.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

What time is it BY you? It's 9:30.

[James Harris]

It's 3:30. It's a beautiful Bavarian late afternoon here.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah. Sor. That you're not out enjoying the beautiful German countryside on a bike ride and instead you are in your hostel recording a pod.

[James Harris]

Yeah, in the hostile hostel. Before we get into living la vida Copenhagen like a local blowing bag. Shopping in Stockholm and accidentally staying at a nudist hotel, which we'll have to get into there accidentally. Crannies. Yeah, let's get into some housekeeping. So once again, just want to remind everyone the boys only episodes are now on Fridays. Third and final warning. Or like, I don't know if you're listening to this, like, I hope you figured it out at this point.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Third time's a charm. You. I get it, dude. I'm a kind of guy that needs their handheld. So I empathize and understand with the audience. Boys only are on Fridays indefinitely. Forever. Until we die. Yeah, until we change.

[James Harris]

Miracle you made it small. Miracle you made it home by yourself.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Oh, I. I flew there by myself.

[James Harris]

You had Pascowitz helping you.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I mean, not. Okay, sure, whatever. I mean, he wasn't. He wasn't in business class, dude.

[James Harris]

Maybe that Fendi check hadn't hit yet.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

He. It was funny because we were in. We were walking around Copenhagen. We were chilling, and he was like. He's like, yeah, I gotta come up with this, like, Fendi caption. We didn't really. I thought he wanted to, like, tap me into workshop. And I. And honestly was, like, ready to go. I was ready to fire on all cylinders.

[James Harris]

Would it be, like, a Kanye leather joggers reference or whatever?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Oh, I don't know. I guess I was. I. Well, I was anticipating the brainstorm. I didn't make it past that precipice where, like, I had anything ready, but I guess.

[James Harris]

All right, you ready? It's big night out after the bag hit. Call that a Fendi bendy.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Okay. Oh, damn. You're ready to go, dude?

[James Harris]

Sure. That. Dude, it's. My brain's broken.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

He can't turn it off, people. Yeah, he looked cool, man. And honestly, I'm sure that Fendy check ain't too shabby. Yeah.

[James Harris]

Well, I'm glad you made it home by yourself. We're gonna get into it, but first, do a little fit Check. Little am Fit Check for Larry Brighton oil. We overwin bed stoy wi.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I hate when you do that baby voice, dude. You're so good at it. Do you ever. Personal question. Have you ever employed that in the boudoir?

[James Harris]

No, I don't.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I don't know, dude. Again, it's just, like, so studied and perfect. I thought that maybe you had some practice.

[James Harris]

Yeah, that's where. That's where I. That's where I practice all my riffs. Guys, want to do some sex?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I mean, it is. It is. It would be, like, perfect by.

[James Harris]

That's where I perfect my little Rascal bit.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah, it's. It's the. It's the thunder.

[James Harris]

You guys want to eat some butthole?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I'm just saying, it would be, like, the toughest audience so that if it worked, if it worked there, if the Little Rascals bit worked before, you were gonna eat another adult's ass, then it will definitely work on the podcast, right? Yeah, that's my thinking. All right, so. Oh, starting off hot because I just walked the dog I had on my new Havian that I. That I got. Well, they were free pairs you have now at this point, flip flops or Javiana. Specifically Havianas. Just one pair that were free at the Haviana's list breakfast I went to before your arrival in Copenhagen. Moving on up, I have on pod shorts.

[James Harris]

What flavor?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

These are the green Woodland camo is that. I forget what we.

[James Harris]

Actually, I have the same exact. With the pink script.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

They're the. They're the. They would be my number one draft pick personally.

[James Harris]

With the pink logo.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[James Harris]

The same ones over there.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Bangers.

[James Harris]

I'm. I'm. What is it? I'm pod, Short agnostic, all. Whatever. The best pair of short POD shorts is the one that's slapping that, you know, personal that day.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

But it just so happened to be that I threw in one pair of the. Yeah, the green Realtors, baby.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Are you using them as more like jammies bumming around the hostel shorts or. They're tennis.

[James Harris]

By the way, I'm at a. I'm not at a hostel. I wouldn't play. Play tennis in them. The pockets aren't deep enough for holding balls. Pause. I mean, I have, but they're just not, like.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Right.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I don't.

[James Harris]

I'd rather just, like, bum around them.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Okay, moving on up. This is interesting. I don't know if I've ever worn this on pod, but this is a vintage David Bowie, little Ziggy Stardust, and the Spiders from Mars joint. What's interesting about this is that the origin story, and this is not a flex. It's just interesting. I'm trying to get out ahead of you, making fun of me for thinking that this is bragging. This was Kanye West's personal tea that a handler left at the grailed office that mysteriously made its way home with me many years ago. Ew.

[James Harris]

Do you ever wash it?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah, of course. And what's funny? Yes, 100%. It's been washed. What's funny?

[James Harris]

So what you're telling me is that you. And how does it. Does it fit?

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Well, it's like a. It's like a big, like, boxy xl. So, yeah, it fits me. So Kanye is also a big, broad guy like me.

[James Harris]

You and Kanye have the same body is what I'm hearing.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Me and Kanye Both have juicy Cs. Yes, correct. But what's very funny about, like, why. And obviously, I think most people would make some type of connection between, like, the way that Bowie and Kanye have shape shifted through many eras. But the reason he owns this shirt is. I don't know if you ever look at the album artwork, but Bowie, AKA Ziggy Stardust is posted outside of, like, a. A pub. And the pub sign says K West, which I don't know if you can. Oh, wow. With this. No, I can't see that right here. K Dot West. So it's very funny that, like Connie would have this because it has his name on it, right? Yeah, yeah.

[James Harris]

Sounds all right. Well, you know, Bowie lived in Berlin. He had a Berlin era. Connie just emulates certain guys from Berlin.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Wow.

[James Harris]

Honestly, Hitler is more from like where I am right now.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Well, he's Austrian.

[James Harris]

Well, on the Austrian border.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Okay.

[Will]

Honestly, Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new Family freedom offer.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

That's not the itinerary we're following.

[Will]

Well, I'm departing from AT&T and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.

[James Harris]

The shirt is our legacy workshop. And not wearing any bottoms because I'm at a naked hotel.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

No, stop it. Dude, you're not hanging down.

[James Harris]

Kidding. I thought about it. I thought about it, like, standing up and, like, flashing some cheek. But it would have been. You would have actually. Yeah, some nut probably would have, like, dropped in the frame. Also, like, I'm sitting in this gross chair, so I didn't want to, like, put cheek on chair. Yeah, that's pretty nasty. Yeah, the shorts are just. It's hot as hell here. So the shorts are just Searsucker lime green car whip Haynes boxers. And that's it.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

You got a lot of those. Carhartt whip. Or I guess you have two, right? You have pink.

[James Harris]

Two.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Pink and lime. Let me see the line. Let me see the lime, dude. Let me see. What are we dealing with here?

[James Harris]

I'm gonna. I got a fragile.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Well, I don't. Sorry, I didn't mean to ask. And your up. I'm just curious. Oh, there he is. Dude, those are preppy, my friend. No.

[James Harris]

Yeah, they're pretty baggy. They're really baggy.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I like them. I like them a lot. Okay. How hot is it? When you said hot. Hotter than Copenhagen?

[James Harris]

Yeah, a lot harder. Like 30 degrees Celsius? I don't know, like 25.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I don't know what that means.

[James Harris]

I don't know, bro. It's like 90 degrees. It's 88. It's. It's 88 degrees here.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Oh, no, dude, I'm sipping on.

[James Harris]

What is this, a clean canteen or hydro flask? Oh, clean canteen of some electrolyte powder and vosing. No voguing. I mean vogging. Vogging's finest. And a Nalgene of vogging's finest.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

What is that? German electrolyte powder or did he bring.

[James Harris]

And this is. These are leftovers from last night.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Oh, you love that. Is it mine? Was it a wheat? It's a week. Oh, damn, dude. You were partying, bro.

[James Harris]

Yo, let me just tell you this White spears tastes so good when you don't have a nasty named Lawrence whispering your ear, saying it's nasty.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It's not that it's. It's not that it's nasty. It's just like. I mean, I. That's what that Cronenberg 1664 Blanc that they, like, launched recently, that is, like, everywhere in Europe. But I wouldn't. Before you came into town, me, Pesco and Matu went to, like, a launch party at Copenhagen Fashion Week. I think it's a new beer. It's pretty good, but it's like a similar. It's like wheat and sweet and blonde.

[James Harris]

Yeah, it's like the beers in Germany. It's like you have pills, Dunkel, Vice, Helles. Like a shandy. Yeah, it's like 50 beer. 50 lemonade.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Yeah, okay.

[James Harris]

Yeah, all is good for drinking. You always give me for drinking weiss beers. Meanwhile, I'm in the beer capital of the world and weiss beer is like the go to. It's like Vice or it's like Vice Blonde or Doc.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

It's not my go to, but I don't think it's nasty. It's just. It's your favorite. I feel like you always, when you drink beer, I feel like most of the time it's a device.

[James Harris]

That's not true at all. That's not true at all.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

I guess I don't know who you are.

[James Harris]

When there's a tasty option on the menu, I will get a tasty Vice beer. But if it's just Allagash Vit or Blue Moons and no, I'm not getting that Vice beer. That's disgusting.

[Lawrence Schlossman]

Blue Moon Dog Sheet Dog water. Okay.
