Our interview with Nick Williams and Phill Ayers is the rare four mic-er. Nick and Phil—co-founders of Small Talk Studio—cracked a couple of cold ones for a long-overdue chat on wearing your own shit, seven rounds of hoodie samples, the undeserved glazing small talk at menswear functions, living in and designing for New York, hats always sell and suits are picking up steam, fatigue from the graphic gauntlet, their hand drawn custom clothing vs. some popular senior cords you might be familiar with, how to go from roommates to business partners, two pushovers' guide to negotiating, the overlooked fashion talent coming out of NYC, god bless the Garment District, putting the actual work in, never quit your day job, the fallacy of quiet luxury, newsflash: eliminating fun and risk is bad, getting ripped off on Walmart Marketplace, launching a basics line, tales from a linked bank account, Chipotle money is great until the vouchers expire, and much more on Nick Williams and Phil Ayer'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.
