About this listen

Ride along in this funny podcast with two great friends on a road trip through life as they navigate ridiculous detours, side trips and pop culture experiences.

Their humor and undeniable chemistry comes from a two decade friendship, infused with Greg’s experience as a touring comic and sketch comedy writer and Andy’s career as an audio engineer for acts as diverse as John Mellencamp, Aerosmith, and Bob and Tom.

Laughter suppled, snacks not included.

Episodes
  • S: 3 EP: 67 - Bathtub Spaghetti, Haunted Houses & People Magazine Mysteries
    Aug 11 2025

    In Season 3, Episode 67 of Welcome to the Suburbs, Andy and Greg wade into the deep end of summer with a mix of the bizarre, the spooky, and the hilariously mundane. From a comedy club condo with a bathtub full of spaghetti to neighborhood ghost sightings, no story is too strange.

    They unravel the tale of a mysteriously locked door, a little girl apparition, and even a ghostly grandma. The guys also tackle the pressing issue of missing People magazines, postal service adventures, and the curious world of “Gaylords” (the warehouse kind).

    Rounding things out are hot takes on Cirque du Soleil, zombie house flipping, and the fine art of scripted spontaneity.

  • S3EP:66 Cricket Matches, Pillow Mates, and CPAP Nightmares
    Jul 28 2025

    Andy and Greg are back with another late-night ramble through suburban life—this time tackling everything from questionable sleep aids to nostalgic rock trivia.

    Greg recounts his epic sleep study fail, his reluctant romance with a CPAP machine, and the insurance company’s passive-aggressive text reminders.

    Andy dives into the hilariously sketchy marketing of the “Pillow Mate” speaker—ideal for listening to cricket matches (because, why not?).

    Along the way, they detour into Emerson, Lake & Palmer album art, Sting’s accidental Money for Nothing lawsuit, Robert Palmer’s mysterious career, and why the Indianapolis Museum of Art now hates dogs.

    It’s a ride filled with absurdity, nostalgia, and just enough suburban chaos to make you laugh out loud.

    Grab your favorite pillow (but keep it away from electrical wiring), settle in, and enjoy another unpredictable trip to The Suburbs.

  • Season 3 EP 65: Fax Machines, Fake Reservations, and Tiny Town
    Jul 14 2025

    Greg and Andy return with a laugh-filled episode that proves no topic is too small—or too outdated—for the suburbs.

    From banks that don’t carry cash to fax machines that cost $6, the guys dig into the absurdities of modern (and not-so-modern) life.

    Greg shares a “Tiny Town” update about his sister’s attempt to subdivide a lake house master bedroom, leading to a hilarious comparison to Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge debacle.

    Along the way, we meet Bob’s Bank, discover why Red Mesa won’t stop texting, and revisit Andy’s traumatic ice skating history. It’s fast, funny, and oddly informative—just how you like it.
