Our interview with Aaron Maldonado is authentic. Aaron—the founder and and creative director of Brigade—left his pregnant wife alone to make the most of his pod debut on drunk driving a fixie to Montauk, upper number barely legal Jordans, what it's like to live with pants autism, putting flags on jawnz is a cheat code, starting a brand with $500 in pizza delivery tips and making sure he had budget for business cards, Brigade is a family business and that family is about to get bigger, his shadow agency that will make any brand's wildest dreams come true, original ideas coming from within, the cottage industry of ripping off independent designers including himself, streetwear with a hard R, tourists vs. purists, Brigade's 10 year anniversary brick factory, delivering bad news with a smile on your face, how New York City became a brand, Kith's global dominance, the streetwear media machine in 2026, and much more on Aaron Maldonado's interview with 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.
