In this family episode of Are You Garbage?, hosts H. Foley and Kevin Ryan navigate a stream of consciousness covering suburban life, midlife crises, tattoos, and nostalgic memories of early 2000s pop culture and fast food. Foley details his recent lifestyle adjustments, including moving into Cousin Ian's, wearing wet board shorts, and planning a commemorative tattoo for his late father.
