  • Welcome to the Suburbs | Season 4 Episode 87 | Tommy Sue, Jenny on the Spot & Rental Chaos
    May 18 2026

    In Season 4, Episode 87 of Welcome to the Suburbs, Greg and Andy catch up after time away from the studio and immediately tumble into suburban absurdity.

    A simple evening walk with Geoffrey turns into an unexpected encounter with “Tommy Sue” — a woman tied to one of Indiana’s most infamous social scandals — complete with jet skis, renovation plans, and invitations to future dinner parties Greg may already regret accepting.

    The guys also revisit the ongoing saga of “Jenny on the Spot,” the long-term Airbnb tenant whose stay at Ripple Avenue Suites spirals from water damage and drywall dust into missing furniture, abandoned family photos, police calls, lawsuits, and one unforgettable move-out.

    Along the way:

    • Dogs that understand how to spell W-A-L-K
    • Neighborhood gossip and suburban mythology
    • Open houses and rental headaches
    • Police reports and scam artists
    • The emotional rollercoaster of being a short-term rental host
    • Why every recurring character eventually gets written off the show

    Funny, chaotic, occasionally heartfelt — just another week in the suburbs.

  • Casinos, Comedy Road Stories & Family Chaos | Welcome To The Suburbs S4 Ep86
    May 4 2026

    It’s May in Indiana—and that means race season, road stories, and a few unexpected detours.

    In this episode of Welcome To The Suburbs, Andy and Greg dive into the world of casinos, stand-up comedy on the road, and the strange economics of entertainment—from smoky gambling floors and bingo halls to low-paying gigs in paradise.

    Greg shares stories from his years as a traveling comic—why some gigs aren’t worth the trip, what it’s like performing in casinos, and the reality behind “dream” destinations like Hawaii and Vegas.

    Along the way, the conversation veers into:

    • Indiana casino culture and proposed new developments
    • The psychology of gambling (and why they hand you silver dollars)
    • Comedy club economics and life on the road
    • Family gatherings, awkward moments, and unforgettable exits
    • The myth of “fun” at corporate events and conferences

    It’s part storytelling, part stand-up, and part honest look at the choices we make—on stage, on the road, and at home.

    If you enjoy comedy podcasts, stand-up stories, Midwest life, or behind-the-scenes entertainment talk, this episode is for you.

    Andy brings the pain with a dentist visit gone wrong, proving once again that even routine appointments can spiral into unexpected misery. Meanwhile, Greg provides updates on “Jenny on the Spot” and the growing visibility of Mint Aesthetics, highlighting the unpredictable wins (and headaches) of running a small business in today’s world.

    From inheritance shenanigans to youth sports intensity, this episode is packed with sharp observations, relatable moments, and the kind of humor that defines suburban life.
