GUEST Ralph Barbosa Main Topics and Themes Episode Segments 0:00 – 0:19: Introduction and Show Premise Summary: The hosts, Kevin Ryan and H. Foley, welcome listeners to “Are You Garbage?”, a podcast where they determine if their favorite comedians are “classy individuals or absolute trash”. H. Foley (referred to as “Holy” in the transcript) is introduced coming from 5:00 mass, while Kevin Ryan is noted for his fresh haircut. 0:19 – 1:15: Welcome Guest: Ralph Barbosa & Initial Banter Summary: The hosts enthusiastically introduce their “incredibly special guest,” Ralph Barbosa, noting it’s his “third or fourth time back” and that he’s “definitely family”. Ralph is promoting his new special, “Planet Bosa,” on Hulu. The conversation quickly devolves into Ralph’s immediate consumption of a large Budweiser, leading to hosts labeling him “alcoholic fucking trash” as he attempts to “reverse the last two trash ratings” he received on the show. 1:15 – 6:08: Kevin’s Barbershop Horror Story & Hair Talk Summary: Kevin Ryan details his recent bad haircut experience, particularly the barber’s questionable hygiene practices with a straight razor, leading him to check Google reviews and find others had similar issues with the barber, Ronnie, not using new blades. Ralph shares his experiences with his long-time barbers, Jose and Ivan. The discussion touches on barbers coming to their houses, with Ralph recalling his old-school barber yelling at him for suggesting it, which “keeps you humble”. 6:08 – 27:32: Ralph’s “Formula Bean” YouTube Channel & Car Antics Summary: Ralph introduces his new YouTube channel, “Formula Bean,” headquartered at his house, which he describes as “very trashy, but very correct”. He details recent antics, including buying a kids’ Razor ATV that flipped over on Fourth of July. The main focus shifts to his automotive “engineering” skills, specifically cutting a car in half with a blowtorch and putting nitrous (NOS) and turbo on a 1989 Nissan 240 SX just to blow it up without tuning it. He recounts taking the modified car on a trailer to Houston to street race a YouTube personality named Freddy LSX, attempting to hide the NOS and turbo, and how the car eventually “blew up” (the coupler and piping, not the engine, due to unpurged NOS lines) after a second race. 27:32 – 47:00: Sponsor Reads (BlueChew & Aura Frames) & More House Antics Summary: The segment includes advertisements for BlueChew, a product for erectile dysfunction, and Aura Frames, digital picture frames. The conversation briefly returns to Ralph’s house, where he admits there’s no dedicated cook, and he doesn’t trust the food made by his friends, leading to a discussion about his stepmom making lentils and their Fourth of July fireworks. 47:00 – 63:39: Fatherhood & Son’s “Critiques” Summary: Ralph reveals he recently had a child, an eight-week-old son, which has impacted his drinking habits. He also talks about his six-year-old son, who is already “evil sometimes” and “wise beyond his years”. His son is very opinionated about cars, preferring the loud 2017 Chevy SS over the expensive Nissan GTR, and even questions Ralph’s career, asking why he doesn’t want people to know he’s “Ralph Barbosa” and threatening to yell, “Hey everybody, this is that not funny guy!”. 63:39 – 84:50: “Garbage Questions”: Pop Culture, Relationships & Wealth Management Summary: The hosts begin a “Garbage Questions” segment. They discuss the movie Four Brothers, calling it “so bad, it’s so good” and highly quotable. Ralph reveals he calls strip clubs “the strip club” or in Spanish, “Las Cariñosas,” which translates to “the affectionate house”. He admits he’s single and “crushing” on a girl, referring to it as “forbidden love”. The conversation moves to cigars (Ralph likes posing with them but rarely smokes them at home due to laziness) and watches (he owns a Rolex from his uncle but wouldn’t buy one). He also discusses his expanding car collection, now at 11 or 12 cars, but only four are drivable, and only one (a 2024 Nissan GTR R35 worth ~$120k) is insured and registered. Ralph confirms he has a business manager/accountant and claims to be spending less despite making less money this year. 84:50 – 103:00: Sponsor Read (Trade Coffee) & Comedy Tour Challenges Summary: The hosts promote Trade Coffee, highlighting its cold brew options. Ralph discusses his upcoming limited “seven cities” tour dates, which his fans consider more of “a pit stop”. He mentions enjoying doing pop-up shows. He recounts a specific negative fan critique regarding his show time and material, which he dismisses, asserting he enjoys “fucking with the audience”. This leads to a lengthy anecdote about breaking his toe kicking his friend before a show in Washington and his terrible experience at a Philadelphia emergency room (University of Pennsylvania) where nurses were rude, and he was subjected to unnecessary X-rays. 103:00 – 1:08:24: Final “Garbage Questions” (Car-Related) & Episode Conclusion Summary: The “Garbage Questions” continue with car-related queries: having non-working driver-side windows (Ralph fixes them himself now), driving a 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 with the steering wheel on the right side (Japanese import) and having his son pay
