S 2 EP: 34 The Sound of Tumbleweeds and Crickets
An emotional response to crickets in the yard is dramatically different than hearing nothing when you’re on stage to tell jokes or play music.

S 2 EP 33 Talking With Strangers
We spend our entire lives surrounded by strangers. Most of the time we give them a smile or glance and move on.
Greg is extroverted and it’s easy for him to strike up a conversation with anyone. The Uber driver, cashier, or random person on the street. Keely can’t relate at all and prefers to just pass through life without exchanging pleasantries with people she doesn’t know.
In episode 33 of Welcome to the Suburbs: Andy plays the antagonist and points out the absurdity of Greg’s quest to interview people inline at the grocery and seemingly everywhere lately. Keely has a different approach. She puts him in timeout.

S 2 EP 32 Something’s Fishy Here & Put A Little Less Skull In It
Greg wants to know why guys have to take something that’s supposed to be relaxing, like fishing and turn it into a competition? He’s not talking about fun little wagers, it’s the idea that fishing’s not fun unless you catch more than the other guy every time you go.
Andy on the other hand is happy not catching a single fish, if he gets to wear a shirt full of product patches. Shirts covered in patches are badass he says lol.
Jennifer’s dream was realized when they went to a restaurant that had Prosecco on tap. Andy’s buzz would come from finding a patch for his shirt that said Prosecco lol.
Andy was in the studio recording a death metal band. He struggled to find space to mic the drums because they were covered in skulls. Some people prefer to keep their skeletons in the closet. This guy finds percussive inspiration with his.

S2 EP 31: Lost and Found, Peter Dinklage, Blue Wine.
What is something you did in 2023 that you never imagined you’d do? That question was posed to her Facebook followers. Greg realized she and her followers wanted cuteness rather than his answer.
Find my phone, water proof my watch, remake Snow White as a live action movie. Three action items sometimes easier said than done, unless you’re Peter Dinklage.
Using don't as a positive with the following: push back with Andy’s mom, order the blue wine, or play handzies with Dave Dougan’s wife.
