On August 19, 2024, Foley and Kippy unceremoniously notified their loyal audience that the long-haired producer, Toby “T-Bone” McMullen would no longer be on the Are You Garbage podcast.
A great deal of internet uproar ensued, with sensitive fans being upset that Toby was gone without a hint of an explanation.
Speculation continued in the weeks thereafter, with AYG fans floating ideas such as a substance relapse and fallout from a Matt Rife episode gone awry.
The rumor mill settled down a bit when the AYG team shot down the Rife storyline, but the ground truth on Toby’s remains under wraps.
Best guess is Toby wanted more money or more stake in the AYG empire, and Kippy and Foley declined, after which T-Bone decided to walk.
