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.

  • S 3: EP 72: Haunted Hosts, Hot Guests & Heavy Metal: Life in the Suburbs
    Oct 20 2025

    Halloween season hits the suburbs, and things are heating up—literally.

    Andy recounts the infamous Airbnb “heatwave” that nearly melted his five-star rating. Forget the fact these were house guests. Greg flashes back to his childhood drive-in days before diving headfirst into a pop-metal concert that leaves him surrounded by college kids, mosh pits, and existential questions.

    They also cover:

    • Haunted houses and “Here Come the Gummies”
    • Ripple Suites’ mysterious new tenant, “Jenny on the Spot”
    • Why Florida insists on keeping buildings ice-cold
    • A Fox Hollow Murders grocery-store encounter that gets way too personal

    Suburban life, nostalgia, and absolute nonsense—it’s all here in Season 3, Episode 72.

  • Skeletons, THC Loopholes, and the ‘Dear No Name’ Letter
    Oct 6 2025

    Fall has arrived (sort of), and Andy and Greg are back with a fresh mix of suburban stories and tangents. In Episode 71, they cover:

    • Giant skeletons, over-the-top yard displays, and where exactly you store a 10-foot Grim Reaper
    • The mysterious loophole that lets THC drinks hit Indiana liquor store shelves while everything else stays off-limits
    • Greg’s billing fiasco with “Dear No Name” and a customer service rep who thinks mailing it fixes everything
    • Dogs, dentists, sleep doctors, and the fine art of making sense of nonsense

    From absurd Halloween clutter to real-life healthcare head-shakers, it’s another ride through the laughs and frustrations of suburban life.

  • Season 3 Episode 70: From Lingles to Les Paul: Jingles, Guitars & Lost Innocence
    Sep 22 2025

    Andy and Greg kick off fall with laughter, nostalgia, and a brand-new Roslyn Retreat jingle that turns into an unexpected recording adventure. Greg shares the hilarious story of conquering his fear of singing, stepping into the studio, and discovering the difference between a “jingle” and a “lingle.”

    From late-night paranoia catchphrases like “bringing living room,” to tales of million-dollar guitars hidden under farmers’ beds, to softcover porn books disguised as history class reading material—this episode blends music, memory, and mischief in true Suburbs style.
