Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the podcast 'Are You Garbage'?
Chapter 2: Who are the hosts of the podcast?
You know, I think we're a dying breed, the late-night talk show. I think this is the way forward, gentlemen. You are the new bastions. You're the wedge. You're the icebreaker. Thank you. This is the way forward podcast because it doesn't exist in the old world anymore. Of course. It's just going away. It's going away. Yeah.
Time gone by. Yeah. Yeah. Give us the backstory. Give us the origin story, Mr. Craig Ferguson.
Well, I was raised in a swamp by Shrek and Fiona. I was found in a basket of reeds. And the pharaoh's daughter came over. I'm from... There was no pharaoh. I'm from Scotland. Of course. It's well outside Philly. Yes. But... But where I am in Scotland, because I know Philly quite well, obviously, and it's not unlike where I'm from in Scotland, Glasgow in Scotland. It's not unlike Philadelphia.
Gotcha.
It has a lot of gentlemen that look a little like yourselves.
You know what I'm saying? Sure. And it has an enjoyment. Good looking guys. Good-looking guys.
A lot of guys in sweatpants.
A lot of guys in sweatpants. A lot of guys who enjoy meat and cheese. I've got to check this place out. I think you'd enjoy it. Do you know what's funny? Because also Cleveland is a similar city. Yes. Right. We're just in Cleveland. Right.
Man, that's a bad look, Cleveland and Philly.

Chapter 3: What makes Craig Ferguson a unique guest?
Yeah, no.
So there was this flatbed truck that would come in from a farm outside of town. a guy called Bob Klein, and he would pick up me and a couple of other kids and we'd get in the back of his flat, just stand like this in the back of a flatbed truck and he'd drive us around and we'd deliver milk. So I made money that way, but I kept falling asleep in school after that.
So when I was 16, I got a job in a factory where I could just like, you know, sleep in the factory. Holy shit, that is old school.
Yeah, it was a little bit.
Damn. You know, and people had, I was telling my kids about this. There was a guy that used to come around our neighborhood when I was a kid. And they were like, there's no fucking way this is true. I'm like, because my kids are American. They've got nice teeth and shit. But I was telling him about it. On a lucky habit. But there used to be a guy called the Ragman.
that would come around our neighborhood. And the rag man, he had a horse and cart. But the cart, it wasn't like a Central Park cart. It was like, you know, a cart with cart wheels on it.
You know what I mean?
Like... Something from the apocalypse or something. Like Bora or something like that. You know what I mean? So he would ride on that and he'd blow a trumpet. Right? You had this kind of weird, like, horn or something. You'd go, da-da-da-da! And we'd all go, oh, it's the Ragman! And we would grab any old pieces of clothes that we could find and we would run out.
And we'd give our clothes to the Ragman and he would give us a balloon. What the hell was he doing with it? I don't know! I don't know! But we all wanted a balloon from the Ragman. And we cleaned out our parents' closets. LAUGHTER

Chapter 4: What was Craig Ferguson's upbringing like?
And then when did you get back over here and start really pursuing Stanford?
Did you already have a good career over there and then came here? Did you come here and pop?
No, neither really. I mean, I had an okay career there. I was doing all right. I was getting like parts and shows and I was doing stand-up.
This is in Scotland or this is in London?
A little of both.
Column A, Column B. Were you based out of Scotland though?
No. Were you home? I was in Scotland until I was about 24, 25. Okay. And then the girl that we got married, we got divorced. I understand. At 24. So I moved down to London when I was about 24. I was still drinking a lot.
Okay.
And have you guys heard of drugs?
