Andrew Santino comes back to Are You Garbage in West Hollywood to find out if he’s classy or trash. He explains why he won’t help you move or pick you up at the airport, why he and his wife order in every night, and how a Temu hibachi chef with a sake-filled Super Soaker saved his birthday. Plus 50-plus bottles of bourbon, why vanilla Coke reminds Foley of a breakup, the Arby’s curly fry, and a ranking of every way to drink a Coke.
