    Jun 10 2024

    We have a plan in our mind that is always fully executed without flaws, hurdles or road blocks. Then real-life steps I and teaches us how wisdom is gained. Something as simple as renting a trailer and appliance dolly from U-Haul turns into a cross street where culture, technology and rental businesses collide. After Greg’s dad died, he inherited the task of distributing furniture to friends, family and Habitat for Humanity.

    He found that liquidating a home is far different than selling furniture in a consignment shop. Complicate that with a sister that doesn’t know how to value time. If you remember back in Season 2 episode 30 of Welcome To The Suburbs his sister wanted him to drive an hour and a half to get plastic forks. Apply that mentality to liquidating their dad’s house. There are enough ridiculous observations to fill a rental trailer. Who’s renting the trailer? The guy whose phone screen is a spiderweb of broken glass. How is he servicing the client? With one eye closed so the cigarette smoke doesn’t stream into his eye. How did he do? You’ll have download episode 37 of Welcome to The Suburbs to find out.

  • S2 EP36: George, Tell Me ‘Bout the Rabbits
    May 27 2024

    Andy watched, and could provide no information on the race and the name of the horse that won, only that it was a close finish and a camel didn’t win.

    Greg watched zero minutes. But he has seen camels in the wild.


    On Easter, Greg’s cat delivered the head of a bunny at the front door. Greg’s kids were greeted with that sight as they went out to hunt Easter Eggs.

    Geoffrey the wonder dog sees the bunnies as an automated game of fetch. They sprint off, he catches them and bring them to Greg. Some rinse peacefully while others are so traumatized they die of a heart attack in his mouth.

    What do you do when the opening act of a concert isn’t a music artist it’s a juggler or, in the case of Mellencamp, a documentary on movie classics. The crowd became unruly


    The Room Place is closing. We’re letting you know in case you missed the 9,000 signs lining the street out in front of the store. 9,000 in case you miss the first 5,000

    We don’t have any signs, we aren’t closing but we’d like you to join us for Welcome To The Suburbs: Season 2 Episode 36 George, Tell Me ‘Bout The Rabbits
