This week on Welcome to the Suburbs, Andy and Greg return to Lake James for part two of their location recording—and somehow land on Ozzy Osbourne, Brian Wilson, and the unexpected ways greatness brushes up against ordinary life.

From Ozzy’s improbable rise—from factory-town kid with a borrowed PA system to genre-defining icon and reality-TV pioneer—to Brian Wilson’s quiet genius and lasting influence, the conversation drifts through music history, fame, and the strange paths that lead people into legendary rooms.

Along the way, Greg shares his own very suburban brush with Ozzy (in a Palm Beach seafood restaurant), Andy revisits a Ball State–era Ozzy concert involving flying meat and a questionable cup of liver, and the guys reflect on how proximity to greatness often looks nothing like we imagine.

As always, the episode swerves—through John Fogerty sightings, studio stories, rental-property expectations, broken license plate screws, city Christmas lights, and the small irritations that define suburban life just as much as the big moments.

It’s a conversation about music, memory, absurdity, and the reminder that sometimes the most memorable brushes with greatness happen when you’re just trying to get through dinner.

In Season 3, Episode 75, Andy and Greg take Welcome to the Suburbs on the road to Greg’s family lake house at Lake James — a place with more stories than shoreline.

This episode has everything:

• Updates on the real hauntings that didn’t make it into Episode 67

• Estelle, the levitating closet ghost (finally with the correct name)

• Greg’s mom’s “famous” chocolate chip cookies… straight from the bag

• Ski-boat romance, flat-tire misery, and a tractor-supply rescue mission

• Meijer’s most enthusiastic greeter

• Stephen A.’s unforgettable “garlic bread” contribution

• Plus: baking rules, scone dust, Savage Garden, and questionable dance lessons

It’s another classic Suburbs mix of stories, laughter, nostalgia, and the kind of conversations that only happen when you’re sitting on a lake porch with coffee (or beer) in hand.

In Season 3, Episode 74 of Welcome to The Suburbs, Andy and Greg dive into one of the funniest listener-question episodes yet. From PSAS and breast augmentation “research,” to Greg’s Mount Rushmore of comedy and Andy’s Mount Rushmore of legendary sound engineers, nothing is off-limits in this rapid-fire Q&A fueled entirely by loyal listener Ricky.

Greg shares outrageous stories from the comedy circuit—including the night Tommy Chong missed his cue because he was getting high behind a dumpster—and explains why orange milkshakes may turn him into a human vibrator. Andy reveals the behind-the-board world of live mixing, the concerts he’ll never walk out on, and why he will never do stand-up (despite Greg’s best efforts).

This episode is classic Suburbs: irreverent, warm, weird, and occasionally educational.

Then Greg wraps up with a lake house confession involving a trash pump, a Rural King return, and an employee who forgot she was on the clock. It’s a perfectly suburban blend of humor, science, and questionable life hacks.

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.
