Our interview with Youngmi Mayer is getting hairy. Youngmi—comedian and author of the new memoir I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying—hit the stu for a little therapy session on wearing one dress while on tour and only owning three outfits and one pair of shoes, vaping on the airplane, her new memoir and the idiom that inspired both the title and one of her first jokes, finding comedy amongst the trauma and tragedy, immigrant inferiority complexes, Korean stereotypes for white people, parenting do's and don'ts, the easiest book sale of all time, being early on the Luigi Mangione thirst, when Asian politeness meets white supremacy and when they've had enough, answering the age-old what are you vs. how are you questions, K-pop as a negative export, Korean skincare 101, dating in NYC and a very thorough rundown of all the worst types of guys, haters needing to hate better, brokenness as a cruising altitude and much more on Youngmi Mayer'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.
