  1. The People's Choice Awards

    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.

    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".
