Author: Throwing Fits October 26, 2022 Duration: 36:01

The only badge we respect. This week, the boys are coming to you live from Stone Island's new Chicago flagship opening with the store's designer, creative director of AMO, Samir Bantal. Samir was willing to debase himself in public to explain what exactly AMO is and how it relates to the legendary OMA, cooked Air Force 1s, disrupting architecture's typical timeline, discovering Stone Island through Web 1.0 viral videos, what it was like creating one of the most beautiful and exciting new stores in the world, the role of retail in 2022, shouting out the middle, the global fandom of Stone Island, the most stylish and underrated cities in the world, Rem Koolhaas' low-key comedy god status, designing stores in WhatsApp with Virgil Abloh, his surprising entry into the GOAT building conversation, foundational advice for all aspiring creatives, his grunge phase, the Hugh Hefner school of interior design and much more on this intellectual and inquisitive episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
