Humble Yourself with Awake NY's Angelo Baque

Humble Yourself with Awake NY's Angelo Baque

Author: Throwing Fits September 27, 2023 Duration: 1:23:57

We're keeping it real on this week's interview with founder of Awake NY Angelo Baque. Angelo was kind enough to host us in his office for a wide-ranging conversation on not intellectualizing white tees, ball droopage, whether or not Awake is a streetwear brand and where the hell streetwear is even at these days, the pile of bodies it takes to get fuck you money, finding humility is sobriety, turning down Virgil Alboh's offer to make him a made man, assessing his brand's new NYC flagship, hiring friend of the show Hugo Mendoza, T-shirts that bring the titties out, aging gracefully, the last two creative blocks in Manhattan, how seeding has changed and his white whale Don Mattingly, creating his own job title and when he knew it was time to leave the nest, the get your own shit mindset, everyone being at the mercy of Instagram, why Queens is number 1 in the game right now, weighing in on his boy Tremaine Emory's current situation with their ex-employer Supreme, the moodboard inside your mind and finding your sweet spot, how cool parents change everything, the one thing COVID got right, Jackson Heights fever dreams, his poetry pussy cringe phase, breaking down the Latina emotional terrorism playbook and much more on this deep and dependable 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.
