Our interview with Alex/2Tone has been a long time coming. Alex—co-founder and creative director of Born x Raised and host of the Powerful Truth Angels podcast—was kind enough to move his naptime to host us in his office and finally pod while we were in Los Angeles on Paul Thomas Anderson messing up his SEO, his world-renowned calves, sometimes you just wanna be a walking gray pantone, fat kid trauma, dessert amnesia, shopping by happenstance, how to power nap 101, what a creative director actually does, the sad shark mindset, a shoebox full of cash and a dream, proudly claiming streetwear and a free history lesson, Spanto lives, an unstoppable force and immovable object coming together to make music, hats with animals ears vs. big ass brims, Born x Raised's annual Sadie Hawkins winter formal is New Year's Eve for women in LA and Alex has been crunching the numbers on attendee hookups, if you don't get in line for the photo booth were you even there, moments of clarity, jiu-jitsu and the power of saying yes because you don't know shit, wabi-sabi hair routines, his podcast's future, credit score hell, depression as a luxury and much more on Alex/2Tone'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.
