  1. The People's Choice Awards

    3D AGO

    The People's Choice Awards

    Happy New Year half listeners! If you lived up to our standards and barely listened to us all year - even if you tuned in - this one is the perfect round up of everything we thought about this year. After 13 minutes of talking about coffee/breakfast (and then a good few more recapping our mostly banal Christmas celebrations), we get into our annual discussion of our own choices from Throwing Fits' Fitties Awards, covering: Brand/collab/jawnz of the year, with everything ranging from Nick's triple threat 3sixteen collab jeans, to Our Legacy, Aaron Levine, Madewell, Zara, and Blundstone. Trend of the year, not any of their options, but maybe AI slop takes the cake, and it will always be true that trends are no more. Best timeline takeover, could be the overwhelming news stories of the year, from Charlie Kirk to Epstein, or it could be the thing from the timeline that jumped into real life (six-sevennnn). Best movie, where Alex recaps movies and Nick goes 'hmm, yeah, I see'. Best TV, which for quality has to be The Pitt, but Love Island USA, Severance, the Sean Combs Reckoning, among others competed for the public consciousness. Biggest Bozo, either the guys responsible for the trickle down of shit 2025 had to offer (Trump/Netanyahu), or those who took the biggest L's, Andrew Cuomo and Sydney Sweeney. Goat of the year, a bit of the inverse, gotta be Friedland or Mamdani, but definitely not Taylor Greene. Musical artist of the year, where Nick recaps his Tidal Rewind and Alex goes 'hmm, yeah, I see'. And then we exchange gifts because it (was) Christmas.

    Fashion Anthropology w/ Avery Trufelman

    Ladies and gentleman, we did it. Or should I say, she did it - this week's guest, Avery Trufelman that is. *Glass ceiling shatters*. We use the latest season of her podcast, Articles of Interest, titled "Gear", as a jumping off point to talk about everything from light topics like how she somewhat accidentally became a podcaster and geeking out about camouflage and Frank Lloyd Wright, to the more serious - and sometimes sinister - underpinnings she's uncovered in her search for how our "American Legacy", the way we dress - particularly in menswear - has come to be.

    The STATE of Everything

    Well, better late than never, that's what they say, right? To make up for our tardiness, we bring you "two GD hours" of prime podcasting. We discuss the "ceasefire" in Gaza, Nick's braggadocious dreams about Bill "AIPACman" Ackman, then go down a politics rabbit hole from Graham Platner to Adelita Grijalva to Katie Porter to Marjorie Taylor Greene as we try to diagnose the Democratic Party's failure to court disaffected voters. We bring the discussion back home with Nick's recounting of a Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate's candor about their marital strifes and outlandish proposals. Then, Nick recites all of the nicknames Shawn gave Gus in the TV show Psych, trying to pick a favorite and Alex brags about his baseball achievements. To bring it all home, Nick takes NYTimes quizzes on basketball and being a "true New Yorker".

    Black & Tan

    We got a light one for y'all this week. We manage to avoid talking about current events (besides briefly making fun of Trump trying to pronounce acetaminophen) for almost a full hour. Instead, we talk about One Battle After Another, running into forgotten classmates at Oktoberfest, the Mets hilarious collapse, compare our LinkedIn puzzle games performance, and more.

    Toilet Paper USA

    Nick apologizes for the quality of his sound and promises he will take action to ensure it does not happen again. If you can get past Nick's leftist audio, we discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the media reaction and shooter conspiracies. Then, Nick breaks down the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary, leading to a discussion about the necessary conditions for leftists candidates to beat out establishment dems. Finally, Alex reflects on his recent rewatch of Gilmore Girls and breaks down why he agrees with Felix Biedermann and Matt Christman about why it is the best girlfriend show. There's also some random tangents about bathrooms, other prestige TV shows, and a very pro-AI talk put on by the UW Alumni Association. Podcasts discussed: The Charlie Kirk Show Time For My Stories (now on the Chapo Trap House paid feed) Gilmore GirlsMad MenSopranosAmerican Prestige The Adam Friedland Show - Ritchie Torres
