Chapter 1: What is the premise of 'Are You Garbage'?
Well, I got a big honker too, so I'm smelling. You're in there. I got an extra scent. I can smell a mile away. It is hell.
It's tough. Give us the origin story of Steph Tolove. Lay it on us.
Start from the beginning. Start from the beginning. Please. Grandparents arranged marriage from Bulgaria. Stop. Okay.
That's right.
Your grandparents were coming in hot. My dad's mother and father.
Arranged marriage. In Bulgaria.
So my deado came across to Canada.
Uh-huh.
Had no idea what the fuck was going on. Uh-huh. Gets here. Can't speak English. Gives the wrong last name. My last name's supposed to be T-O-L-E-F-F, but my deado cannot speak English. He goes, mumbles it. Guy goes, Tolov. This is a made-up name.

Chapter 2: What funny stories does Steph Tolev share about her childhood?
It was called Snow Jam, and I think Treble Charger, I believe, was headlining, and I body surfed. It was like rock. I body surfed, and a guy grabbed my ass and my tit, and I freaked out. Snow Jam, Toronto. Yeah, there it is.
This would be like a local radio station festival. That's probably it.
That's it. That's the one. That's it.
Let's see. Yeah. Wow, 2002.
It should be Treble Charger. Who else? Dropkick Murphys. Oh, fuck.
That's not bad.
I didn't see them. Danko Jones. I remember seeing Danko Jones. So you probably went on Saturday. Yes. Swollen Members. Yes, that's where I was there. Swollen Members, Showcore, Mocha.
I've never heard of any of these. Filter. Yes, yes, yes. Filter, like the band? Like Filter Filter? That's pretty good.
It's not bad. Yeah, that's it.

Chapter 3: What was Steph's experience with dance competitions?
It's very gross. Do you get them done? Like will you go and get a manicure?
I just got these done because I filmed something last week, but normally.
But normally you keep them like that. You don't do the long nails.
No, no, I hate that. I can't wipe my ass. I'm always back there.
You're always back there?
I got a hemorrhoid. It happened this morning. I'm fucking pissed off.
You have a hemorrhoid?
Right now, it's killing me. I'm sitting on an angle. Can you not tell? I'm really leaning on my left side here. Pavi this morning is like, don't fucking bleed your hemorrhoid in my house.
I'm like, what am I supposed to do with it?

Chapter 5: What were the struggles of growing up in a dance family?
Okay. That's a new one.
I love how many new ones I have here. Have you ever... I don't know if that's good or bad.
It's not great. You don't want to be breaking new ground on this show.
God damn it.
Have you ever pulled a fire alarm? No. Okay. Have you ever intentionally given someone the wrong directions?
No, no. I'm nice.
Have you ever driven with headphones in?
Oh, yeah.
In the Subaru.
