Our interview with Tory y Moi means it's time to bear down. Toro aka Chaz Bear—whose new album Hole Erth is out September 6th—got deep on Ben Davis vs. Dickies, buying rare Japanese sandals and eating flexitarian tacos in NYC, channeling both his inner barsman and angsty suburban kid on his latest project, going dad mode, he's a musicals guy, working with rappers and Tyler, The Creator's studio sessions, taking the time and care and respect to study a new genre before incorporating it into his music, the Realtree revolution, Swagapinos and karaoke, hitting up Ben Gibbard for a feature, the real reasons why so many artists today switch up their sound, what's up with Les Sins, we fill Chaz in on his long history with our baby boy Chuck, realizing you unintentionally went stadium status, popularity perks and how even his lovely and humble ass has switched up, being just a scene kid who fell in love with a scene girl, getting teased as a kid and how much it costs to change your last name so you stop getting bullied, working at Chick-fil-A and Wendy's, Chaz can have Doritos on the road as a little treat, hoodwinking yourself into designing right wing political propaganda and trolling back, the one tee in one tee out rule, macro thoughts on the post-Online Ceramics world of graphic tees and mixing the Gen Z digital dystopian vibes with artisanal grown man swag, Tumblr trend cycles, defend the Bay Area at all costs if you love tech, still rocking Yeezys, hotel snobbery and much more on Toro y Moi'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.
