What happens when the neighborhood’s least popular resident dies, the obituary barely acknowledges his life, and the family starts celebrating before the week is over?

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 98 of Welcome to the Suburbs with Andy and Greg, where suburban life continues to provide material that no comedy writer could possibly make up.

Greg takes us back to Lake James, where flashing emergency lights, a mysterious death, and a remarkably brief obituary have the neighbors talking. What begins as a story about a difficult family turns into a hilarious discussion about death, family dysfunction, funeral etiquette, and the importance of leaving behind more than “he worked at a park.”

That reminds Greg of his brother’s funeral, an ex-wife who arrived with a five-page obituary, and a funeral director faced with the literary equivalent of War and Peace.

Then the conversation shifts to another suburban battleground: lawn mowing etiquette.

How early is too early to mow? Apparently, 5:50 AM isn’t too early for one Indianapolis neighbor, who fires up an electric lawn mower to tackle a driveway made of rocks while blasting music from the garage. The spectacle is so distracting that Geoffrey, Greg’s Weimaraner, walks headfirst into a parked car.

Throw in abandoned boats, backyard barbecue operations before sunrise, a tour bus without a home, and a neighborhood that seems to be operating without adult supervision, and you’ve got another episode of suburban comedy at its finest.

In Episode 98:

• A lake neighborhood mystery and an obituary that leaves plenty to the imagination
• Funeral home drama and the world’s longest obituary
• The fine art of saying exactly the wrong thing at a funeral
• Lawn mowing etiquette and inconsiderate neighbors
• A 5:50 AM electric lawn mower versus a rock driveway
• Geoffrey’s unfortunate encounter with a parked car
• Boats, buses, barbecue smokers, and suburban chaos

Greg’s weather app says the rain is somewhere else. The lake forming in the Lowe’s parking lot says otherwise.

This week, Andy and Greg wait out a sideways Indiana downpour, compare weather apps with an 80-year-old woman, debate whether paying someone $118 to assemble one IKEA cabinet is money well spent, and discover that apparently Greg’s tremor bothers Keely considerably more than it bothers Greg.

Then Andy brings out the papers.

According to some extremely official-looking emails, he may be entitled to millions of dollars, a truck—or possibly several trucks—currently being held for him in the White House storage room.

Yes. The White House.

There are also high-diving horses, floating stages, questionable games involving knives, pizza-fueled cabinet construction, and the important realization that when someone promises you funds and trucks, you should probably start spending immediately.

It’s Episode 97 of Welcome to the Suburbs with Andy and Greg.

Record flooding, flash flood warnings, an emergency Airbnb booking, and a roasted-corn-stand employee named Uncle Stevie. Just another quiet week in Indiana.

Andy and Greg kick off Episode 96 with the relentless Midwest rain and historic flooding that forced residents of Rocky Ripple to evacuate. One displaced couple made a 1:30 a.m. instant booking at Greg’s Airbnb—only to spend the night sleeping in their car when Greg slept through the notification. Which raises an uncomfortable question: Do they get a refund?

Then it’s off to the Indiana State Fair, where a disagreement over giving away free roasted corn allegedly escalated into a stabbing involving a box cutter, an ankle monitor, a SWAT team and a suspect hiding in an attic. Naturally, Andy and Greg find several important questions left unanswered by the official account—including whether glazed donuts should ever be used as hamburger buns.

Along the way: 100-year floods, biblical rain, Civil Defense drills, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, State Fair food, criminal mischief and the rapidly approaching
