Season 4 kicks off with Episode 80, and Andy and Greg ease back in the only way they know how—by talking allergies, aging, Florida anniversaries, train documentaries, and the slow creep of suburban surveillance.

Greg returns from a trip to Florida where quality time with his parents includes steak dinners, retirement-level entertainment, and a multi-episode documentary about trains—somehow both boring and fascinating. From there, the conversation drifts (as it should) into questionable speed cameras, construction-zone ticket warnings, childhood run-ins with the law, and the lost art of making change—for tips, bribes, or beer money.

Along the way, they unpack modern suburbia: AI-powered traffic enforcement, cruise control paranoia, turn signals left on for decades, and the quiet realization that everyone is always watching—but nobody is actually working on the road.

It’s a laid-back, laugh-out-loud episode about growing older, slowing down (whether you want to or not), and navigating the strange rules of adult life—one train documentary and warning letter at a time.

In Season 3, Episode 79 of Welcome to the Suburbs, Andy and Greg tackle the kind of crises only suburban life can produce.

It starts with a from-scratch chocolate cake, a counter-surfing dog named Geoffrey, and the harsh realization that you can’t really punish a dog — only yourself. From there, the conversation ricochets through sound bath meditation, middle-of-the-night consequences of poor dessert choices, and a heartfelt meditation on what dogs actually understand about love, routine, and timeouts.

Along the way, Greg battles the Mayor’s Action Center over runaway recycling bins.

Andy debates the emotional toll of changing 34 clocks. Yes, 34 two on the lawnmower.

Greg breaks a key off in his front door (locking himself inside), and learns that apparently all of Pella’s replacement parts are controlled by one guy with a bad knee.

It’s a classic Suburbs episode: funny, oddly philosophical, deeply relatable, and full of moments that make you stop and say, “Yep… that tracks.”

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 78 of Welcome to the Suburbs — and welcome to 2026.

In this episode, Andy and Greg unravel the unexpected chaos of suburban life when a semi-permanent short-term guest turns into a full-blown mystery, a washing machine refuses to cooperate, and ChatGPT somehow becomes the most reliable appliance technician in the room.

What starts as a broken washer spirals into candle-lit basements, awkward tenant encounters, appliance repair standoffs, and a surprisingly accurate AI diagnosis. Along the way, the guys reflect on gut instincts, landlord life, minimum wage debates, old jobs, magicians, and the strange confidence of people who absolutely should not be slamming washing machine lids.

To wrap it all up, Andy puts Greg through the Ultimate Picky Eaters Test, revealing strong opinions about sardines, anchovies, tofu, grits, and what does—or absolutely does not—qualify as food.

It’s a classic Welcome to the Suburbs episode: observational, unfiltered, funny, and rooted in the everyday absurdities that come with aging, homeownership, and trying to be reasonable adults in an unreasonable world.

Press play, laugh along, and remember: sometimes the smartest person in the room is ChatGPT.
