Our interview with Hugo Mendoza is aging like fine wine. Hugo—our pal and the brand director of Awake—returned to the pod to chop it up with us on 22 bottle nights, the best food in Paris isn't French, you might think you're eating in NYC but you're not eating good, what exactly a brand director does for a living, empowering the youth with equity, Awake Jordans hitting Fortnite, the Live From Awake NY series, ain't no block party like an Awake block party, living life with no regrets for former fits, the current state of streetwear and its not important players, his and Clint's lore, big wine dogs barking, don't get it twisted he's still a hater at heart, the sad state of NYC nightlife, how big can shorts get, food and beverage dreams, his made-to-measure suit game is strong, showing the speedo some love, copping a glass tank, and much more on Hugo Mendoza'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.
