The Human Gobstopper with A-Trak

The Human Gobstopper with A-Trak

Author: Throwing Fits November 23, 2022 Duration: 1:32:12

Scratch that. This week, the boys are going back-to-back with legendary DJ, producer and record executive A-Trak. A-Trak came through to hit the ones and twos and spin on his own curious case of flow team politics, why Cam'ron is Krusty the Clown, playing ping-pong with Dame Dash, how to get your hair dyed, flipping Goodie Mob into house, the EDM state of the union, not all venues being created equal, a childhood lost, his most embarrassing moment at a DJ, every generation having that one banger, why Bad Bunny is the one, his superpower, what Barbara Streisand thinks of 'Barbara Streisand', his upcoming documentary and the responsibility of bridging gaps, what's in his vault, the reports of his leather jacket fetish are greatly exaggerated, dressing like it's 1998, jam band red flags, a guide to transporting 5,000 records and much more on this down to earth and downtempo 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.
