Chapter 2: What is the premise of the Are You Garbage podcast?
You should be something like that. Mysterious. Not for me. How did this come about, by the way? How did you guys you guys started together in Boston? Yes.
A quarter of a century ago. A quarter of a century. I walked into an open mic night. I saw Joe up on stage. He was hilarious. And he had a really, really hot girlfriend. And I was like, this guy must be doing something right.
Is that true, Joe List? I had some really, don't judge based on my wife now. What are you talking about? I'll be silly. I used to know. Sarah's a hot ticket herself.
Smoke show.
We love her. Smart, smoking hot, broad, great body, nice tits, perfect butt. One of the funniest. She's got a great body, buddy. She's got a great body.
That's not my favorite delivery line.
Slap someone on the back. Also a line I use the most maybe is Kramer going, all right. Show's over. But anyways, yeah, I had some hot numbers. And I started in high school, fresh out of high school. And how old were you when you started? I was 25. And what's the age difference?
Seven years. Okay. Seven years. Tom, you're seven years older. Yeah, yeah. Are you a seasoned vet somewhat in Boston at this time? No. I mean, no.
We were just starting out. Okay. I started when I was 25. Okay. All right. He had started just before me.

Chapter 3: Who are the special guests in this episode?
Yeah. It's confirmed at the very last second of the film. It's the big surprise.
We want to get to the whole Key West lifestyle, but first time we got to put you through the ringer a little bit.
Yes.
So give us give us the full backstory of Tom Dustin, the origin story. So where were you born? Born in Malden, Massachusetts, just north of Boston.
That's enough. North Shore, Everett, Revere, Chelsea.
What's what's bad? I don't know what is North Shore or South Shore better?
It's pretty much the same. It's just north and south of Boston. It's like blue collar kind of suburbs. Brothers and sisters? I got an older and a younger sister. Okay. And my older sister is a janitor for the post office.
Nice. She loves it.
And a smoke show. Really? Yes.

Chapter 4: What is the documentary Portrait of a Comedian about?
My mother was the best in the business at it. My mother could roll back any odometer, and other dealerships would call. This is back in the 80s.
Can we just get a quick Google on the statute of limitations?
Okay. This is in the 80s. I'm sure we're fine. This is in the 80s, but my mother would roll back the odometer. Allegedly. She's a little tiny lady. She'd get up under the dashboard and pull it apart.
She even figured out how to do the, when they first came out with the digitals, she used a 9-volt battery, and she'd just tap, tap, tap until it rolled over, and then it would have the miles you wanted on it. All right. Okay.
So was the business successful? Like, was your dad doing well?
It was for a bunch of years, and then he got crazy. He went crazy. Okay. And so the business kind of floundered after that.
Until you got old enough, and when you were running it, was it... Yeah, well, yeah.
So the business went away. Okay. And then he went into the nuthouse for a couple of years, and he was kind of incapacitated for a couple of years. Gotcha. And then he and my cousin and my father, my uncle... We all opened a new car dealership, and that didn't last very long.
Did you put in on that? Were you one of the owners? Yeah, I was one of the owners.

Chapter 5: How did Tom Dustin and Joe List start their comedy careers?
Yeah. Yeah. Old Orchard Beach. Is that Maine? Yeah. Oob.
Love Old Orchard Beach. We do a ton of garbage.
I didn't think it was the south of France.
You guys should seriously think about doing a show in Portland, Maine and doing a Patreon at Old Orchard Beach. You'd love it. A little roller coaster in the Ferris. Pull up some photos. You guys would love Old Orchard Beach. It is straight garbage.
Who would go on that vacation with you?
Was there any extended family in the area? Uh, yeah, we had a ton of extended family. We do like family reunions at my uncle's house, not a couple of towns over and shit like that. But, uh, no one would go on the family vacation. So the one I remember the most is Hershey park. Wow. Pennsylvania. That was big for us. Yeah. We would go there and to the chocolate factory. Sure. Yeah.
Okay. And what was your first car that you, that was like yours?
I owned a 1986 Ford Escort standard shift no air conditioner it was a hatchback four door and it was it was fun it was a fucking good little car considering no air conditioning roll them up windows and it didn't have nothing
I had an 88 or an 89 Chevy Spectrum. Very similar. Stick shift. Oh, yeah, yeah. I know the Chevy Spectrum. Sold tons of them back in the day.

Chapter 6: What wild stories do Tom and Joe share from their past?
Yeah. I mean, she would just, I don't know, not good ventilation. She wouldn't open the fucking window and then beep, beep, beep, beep every time she cooked. If she was boiling an egg, the fucking smoke detector would go off. What about the pet situation? We had a dog named Scooter. He didn't make it. We had a cat.
He's doing three to five somewhere.
It was a... For rolling back odometers. That's 21 to 35 in dog years. We weren't a huge pet family. We weren't a huge pet family. We were cats. I had a cat named Misery. Really? A little black cat. It was awesome. It could fetch. It was one of them. You'd throw a stick and it would bring it back and then cry until you threw it again. Sucking the life out of me at night.
All right. So we're at Aunt Tootie's house now. Do you have any aunts or uncles that you don't refer to by their real name, like in Aunt Marbles or in Uncle Knuckles or something?
My auntie Sandy, her real name's Joan. My sister's name is Sandy, and then I have another Aunt Sandy. Yeah, so three Sandys in my immediate family.
Why do you call the one Sandy if that's not Sandy, if her name's Joan?
I don't know. I don't know why that is. What is your nationality? What's your background? English and Italian. Okay. Who's Italian? Your mom or your dad? My mother. Your mom's Italian. Yeah. And nothing with no Sunday sauce or anything like that? She cooked. Yeah, no.
She would make lasagna. She would make all kinds of awesome stuff. Okay. Cacciatore's and fucking... Cacciatore's? Yeah, all kinds of... That's not bad.
I got one now. Is there in your house in Key West, do you have a Crown Royal bag in there currently? No. Oh, come on. I thought that was going to be a dead ringer. Keep his crumbled up ones in there or something.
