Our interview with Jaeki Cho is righteous. Jaeki—co-founder of Righteous Eats—came through to chow down with us on his altruistic content creation goals, what's next for Righteous Eats since they've been a bit quiet, the fucked up sneaker game politics from his time as a retailer, that signature deep ass voice of his, how food content creation is actually analogous to rapping and hooping, the gift and the curse of restaurant TikTok virality, content payola, the crucial distinction of reviews vs. highlights, buying attention for cheap and selling it for more, owning your audience, his favorite food personalities, that NY Mag photoshoot from hell we all were in, hospitality hostility, trusting the elderly, comfort food, fruit and soup marathon fuel, the cultural exchange of old Jewish and young Korean men, why sodium is king, the Queens Bermuda Triangle and much more on Jaeki Cho'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.
