What should be a simple request to replace a business sign turns into a bureaucratic adventure involving city zoning, council members, the Mayor of Indianapolis, and a decades-old ballet performance in a tutu.

Meanwhile, Greg and Keely’s week spirals into chaos. A shredded tire strands their daughter on the interstate, a suspected gas leak sends Rosslyn Retreat guests scrambling, plumbers appear and disappear, hot water goes missing, and Booking.com somehow manages to create a double-booking nightmare complete with accusations, refund demands, and a guest who insists Greg is a “lying liar.”

Andy and Greg share stories about short-term rental ownership, city government red tape, home repairs, customer service disasters, and the absurd moments that somehow become normal when you’re living in the suburbs.

• The Mint Aesthetics sign saga
• Dancing with the Mayor of Indianapolis
• Zoning battles and bureaucracy
• The Rosslyn Retreat gas leak mystery
• Weekend plumber adventures
• Hot water headaches
