This is Are You Garbage?
It's a little show.
We sit down with your favorite comedians,

I'm your host, H. Foley, coming at you on a beautiful day.
We're down here in Tootie's basement.
Yeah.
The summer has come to an end.
We got a truckload of pumpkins in the backyard.

He got me two weeks in a row with the Tootie bit.
My co-host is coming at you from right next to me, unamused.

But, gang, we could not be more excited.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the one, the only,
Mr. Dan St. Jordan.
Thank you, guys.
That was such a...
That's how we do it.
I repeat that in the mirror when I think about putting comedy.
I'm like, I've been on Adam Ruins Everything.
Dude, it's just a matter of time before the bookings come back.
You do the Hank Kingsley voice in the mirror?
Buddy, thank you so much for coming in and sitting down with us.
Dude, thanks for having me.
You guys have a great podcast.
A hot podcast.
Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it.
What the fuck was that?
You just saw the dream.
Thanks for having me.
You know, just give me another shot.
You know, I really appreciate it.
You sounded like Bobcat.
I got a second there.
I got these CDs.
You guys want to buy these CDs?
We were doing our due diligence, our research.
I couldn't find anything about the...
Your personal life.
Like, where you're from.
Where's your home planet?
What's the deal?
I guess that that was...
What woods did you come out of?
I grew up in Rutherford, New Jersey, and then I was seventh grade.
Then we went to Westchester, so it was like a step up.
Nice.
And then I went to school in Evansville, Indiana.
No, wait.
Hold on.
Step up.
That's a fucking...
That's a gigantic...
Yeah, that's an escalator to the moon step up.
Yeah.
We moved because my mom lost the PTA election.
Oh, my God.
She's a very...
Local politics.
They ran her out of town on a rail.
They ran her out of town.
She's like, fuck this place.
She's like Trump down to Mar-a-Lago.
She really is.
Yeah, she's like a thinner-skinned Trump.
Holy shit.
So...
Yeah, then I went to...
You know, New York, LA, back and forth.
Okay.
Since then.
New York now.
Now, when you say Rutherford, New Jersey, we're talking about East Rutherford?
Rutherford.
Not East Rutherford.
East Rutherford, I wrestled for East Rutherford.
And then Rutherford, that's like the...
Rutherford's like a little bit more hoity-toity.
That's like the William Carlos Williams.
Wait, this is where...
What's it called is, right?
Giant Stadium is East Rutherford, or MetLife.
Now, where's...
What am I thinking of?
Ruckers.
Where's Ruckers?
Ruckers is New Brunswick.
New Brunswick.
Oh, New Brunswick.
We were just there like four days ago.
All right.
Fair enough.
But they had...
Yeah, like Rutherford, the most like, I guess trash thing they have is they
have like this
Cowboy Depot store that's clearly a mob run.
Okay.
It's like, yeah, what do you want?
Want vests?
We got spurs.
We got saddles.
We got that thing you put in your fucking mouth when you pull them when it ain't
doing
what you wanted to do.
Like, I've never seen anyone shop there, and it's a guy in like a wife beater
who like,
it looks like the opposite of a Western, you know?
Jersey has the...
They do have those weird pockets of hillbill, of like Hicks.
Yeah, South Jersey.
Like down in South Jersey, it's like the Cowtown.
I just drove by it.
South Jersey is the only place where someone will appropriate black culture
while using
the N-word with a hard E-R.
Yeah.
You know?
South Jersey, it's a mix of a lot of bad things.
Yeah, it's a lot.
Everybody wants to be Philly in South Jersey.
Everybody wants to be Philly.
That's where I went to rehab.
Was it Seabrook House?
What up?
South Jersey.
Man, St. Germain's really giving it up quick, isn't it?
Three minutes in, repping his halfway house.
We offer you a soda, you start confessing to the murders.
Jesus, put on a poker face for a couple of minutes.
Call an attorney.
So, we're done here?
I don't think O.J. did it.
Just get that out of the way.
Is the family from Rutherford?
Is that where your cousins and all that are?
Wynhurst and Rutherford, yeah.
And did you have a big extended family down there?
No, it was, I mean, you know, cousins.
Both sides.
Like, one was very blue collar.
My dad's a writer, so he's like a mix of hoity-toity and trash.
He's like Blade, half vampire, half human.
I got you.
He's a playwright, and he also, he wrote TV.
He wrote on the Cosby Show, which used to be a cool credit.
And then he wrote, he's written a couple movies and shit like that.
Holy shit.
Nice.
All right.
But, you know, his side of the family, it's all, like, my grandpa, who, like,
worked for
Nabisco, and then my uncle's a mechanic, my aunt's a nurse, and then my mom's
side of
the family is, like, there's, well, not everybody, like, I'm really close to my
cousin, Sam.
And then there's some people who are, like, you know, it's, like, really smart
people who
also went to jail.
You know?
I got you.
It's, like, that kind of combo.
So, you know, a lot of people who, you know, died falling off ladders, you know,
that kind
of crew.
Real date line.
Real last third of a date line.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
We'll start with playwright.
That's pretty clear.
That's a good stock, though.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Where did he go to school?
He's cultured, at least.
Seton Hall.
Not a bad school.
Good school.
Now, did he come from a little bit of cash, or was he?
No, not real.
I mean, not, I mean, like, you know, my grandpa worked for Nabisco, and then he
worked at a
nuclear power plant, I think, so it wasn't like, it wasn't like, well, it wasn't
like
mailman money, but it wasn't CEO, but yeah, he's like a weird, you know, my
grandpa
was like a smart guy, but like, you know, he voted for Obama, but then my dad,
my dad
wrote the Nelson Mandela movie, like one of the iterations, and then my grandpa
gave
him for a present that he thought would be a joke, a spear, you know, because I'm
like,
and that's like, you know, like, so my grandpa still has like, he's dead now,
but he still
had like that racist, like Jersey fucking, my grandpa, yeah, my grandpa, my dad
was just
like, what the, Nelson Mandela, you know, like, like, why are you, you know, so
it was
like that kind of, like, it was like the combo of both.
Wait, your dad wrote a Nelson Mandela movie, and as a present.
He wrote, yeah, as a, because he's like, oh, Africa, here's a spear, like, it
was, you
know, it was like North Jersey shit.
That radiation got to his head.
I got to tell you, that's a weird switch, Nabisco to nuclear power plant, one
day you're
making fun stripes, and the next day you're handling fucking.
He was, you know, like, yeah, he was an interesting guy, you know, he was war
hero.
My other grandpa, like, got discharged because he shot himself in the hand, but,
but, because
he was drunk, but like.
The St. Germain's are a rough bunch of big enough early on.
This kid's coming in hot, and I like it.
The other grandpa was like, you know, he freed concentration camps and shit, so.
The racist one freed concentration camps.
You're like Chunk and Goonies when he's confessing everything to the Fratellis
when his
hand's in the blood barrier.
Holy shit.
All right, I'll just slow down.
What was the Westchester life like?
So you leave there?
We went to Pound Ridge, which is like the opposite of White Trash.
It's like very Hamlet-y.
It's actually like New Cane in the town right next to us.
You remember that movie, The Ice Storm?
Of course.
Yeah, so that's exactly where it was, you know, played.
Gotcha.
You know, like, like key parties and all that kind of shit, and, you know,
country clubs,
and went to public school there, but.
Where's the coin coming from to make this move?
My dad was, my dad had no money, then he had money, and then he had no money
again.
Very Irish.
Really?
Wow, that was my dad.
Your parents are still together?
No.
Divorce.
They divorced.
Does he have parents still together face?
I don't know if you're picking up on what I am.
