  • S 4: Ep 84: Fired by My Wife, Elevator Chaos, and Lake Wars | Welcome to the Suburbs
    Apr 6 2026

    Spring has officially arrived—and so has another wildly relatable, laugh-out-loud episode of Welcome to the Suburbs with Andy and Greg.

    In Season 4, Episode 84, Greg shares the moment he got “fired” as the marketing director of Keely’s aesthetics business (yes, really). What starts as a business conversation quickly turns into a hilarious look at partnerships, communication, and knowing your lane.

    From there, the episode takes a turn into classic suburban storytelling:

    • A chaotic Florida condo check-in involving confusing elevator instructions and tech gone wrong
    • Observations on vacation culture (including “Satan’s elevator” and stair-loving traditionalists)
    • The ongoing saga of Jenny and a water leak at Ripple Avenue Suites
    • Parenting flashbacks, baby-proofing battles, and the reality of generational differences
    • And a deep dive into lake life politics—wake surfing, massive waves, and the fight to reclaim peace on the water

    It’s funny, observational, and full of those “only in real life” moments that define suburban living.

    Whether you’re a homeowner, a traveler, or just someone trying to make sense of modern life, this episode delivers humor, perspective, and a few well-earned rants along the way.

  • S 4 EP: 83 Daylight Saving Confusion, Restaurant Fails & Travel Chaos: Life in the Suburbs
    Mar 23 2026

    What happens when daylight saving time hits, AI blurs reality, and a simple dinner turns into a full-blown suburban saga?

    In this episode of Welcome to the Suburbs, Andy and Greg dive into the everyday moments that somehow spiral into unforgettable stories—from a mistaken credit card situation that feels like a crime scene interrogation, to a steakhouse disaster that ends in a “butterflied” filet and a comped meal.

    Along the way, they unpack:

    • The growing confusion around AI, fake news, and social media
    • Why everyday errands (like getting gas) aren’t as simple as they used to be
    • Travel chaos on the road back from Florida—including a GPS detour through questionable territory
    • The strange, hilarious reality of suburban life that no one talks about—but everyone experiences

    It’s relatable, off-the-cuff, and packed with the kind of storytelling that makes you laugh because… you’ve been there.

    If you’ve ever questioned humanity at a gas pump, been disappointed by a “nice” restaurant, or trusted your GPS a little too much—this episode is for you.

  • S4 Ep 82: Creepy Uber Rides, Cold Fish & Chips, and a Free Merch Bag
    Mar 9 2026

    Greg and Andy are back with another round of suburban observations and stories that somehow spiral into the absurd.

    Andy shares highlights from his 18th Yes concert, including the surprising economics of concert merchandise and how a bag somehow ended up free.

    From there the conversation drifts into a restaurant experience where the fish and chips arrived stone cold, awkward dining moments, and why sometimes the best meal of the night is the dessert you didn’t plan to order.

    The episode takes a strange turn when Greg’s Uber ride home becomes a soundtrack of true-crime murders blasting through the speakers while the driver completely ignores the passenger in the back seat.

    Along the way Greg and Andy talk about aging trucks, restaurant chaos, weird customer service moments, and the kinds of stories that only seem to happen in everyday suburban life.

    If you enjoy stories about concert nostalgia, awkward dining experiences, strange Uber rides, and the humor hidden in ordinary life, this episode is for you.
