S3 EP 79: The Chocolate Cake Incident (and Other First-World Emergencies)

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.”
