Our interview with Mike Hope aka Mike the Ruler is a full circle moment. Mike—internet legend, stylist, designer, and casting director—joined us in studio over a decade since he came on Fashion Bros to talk about what he's been up to since his somewhat regrettable debut, the Cool Teen era and all the success his crew has since found, getting a taste of digital clout at such a young age, his time in wilderness school for troubled youth, what psychotherapy has taught him, the downfall of Balenciaga, Supreme and the various other specialized interests he had as child, Balenciaga x Supreme lore, how he went from working for Ye to Demna and giving them the final push needed to work together on Yeezy Gap, the new Gucci, styling Nettspend, what the hell is going on with the Met Gala, Fashion's wastefulness and nihilism, a new chapter building his dream brand from scratch, how he shops and acquires extremely rare grails, and much more on Mike the Ruler'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.
