    Ep. 55 | The Cannoli Fighter, Diagon Alley, and the Eagles Conspiracy | October 28, 2026

    Summary:  Jake and Alex are finally back from their travels, and apparently all they needed was 11 hours of sleep, some lavender, and a little pillow origami. Jake recounts his perfect Philadelphia fall Saturday, complete with a Halloween parade, a Reading Terminal Market food tour, a Rocky-inspired meat-punching attraction, and the discovery that lavender ice cream belongs in coffee. Meanwhile, Alex attends a networking event at a former Love Is Blind filming location, encounters a fighter known for punching people with cannolis, and tours four Philadelphia apartments ranging from Diagon Alley to a luxury spy headquarters. Then it's time for Philadelphia sports therapy. The brothers dissect the Eagles' loss to Dallas, Jake unveils his theory about a deliberate roster reset, and Alex admits he's watching the Birds like a concerned parent. Thankfully, the Sixers are giving Philadelphia something to get excited about. Another week, another Going Yard.

    Ep.54 | The Sad Mermaid, Creed Takes Us Higher, and Wedding Chaos | October 22, 2026

    Summary:  The boys are back, and apparently weddings, mermaids, and Creed are taking over Going Yard. Alex kicks things off with a Point Pleasant getaway, some questionable haircut memories, and a reminder that he might be the only person with a designated shirt for every day of the workweek. Meanwhile, Jake heads to Sacramento to officiate Brittany and Jared's wedding, where the festivities include an Ironman competition sharing the hotel, the return of the Carrot Top debate, and a trip to a nearly empty dive bar featuring a live mermaid swimming above the customers. Then things get even stranger when Casey gets hoisted into the air to Creed's "Higher," and the wedding shuttle transforms into a nightclub. Finally, the brothers return to Philadelphia sports, where the Eagles' struggles inspire an increasingly elaborate Game of Thrones comparison. Another week, another adventure.

    Ep.53 | The Italian Magician, The Rave Cave, and The Eagles Collapse | October 15, 2026

    Summary The boys are back from Italy, and there is a LOT to unpack. Jake and Alex recap their trip to northern Italy for Cassidy and Ken’s wedding, starting with an improvised twin reunion on the airplane and a welcome party that somehow ends with an Italian DJ ordering an unreasonable amount of focaccia. From a tiny hillside hotel and a beautiful family vineyard to a wedding reception featuring Mago Mago, the Italian magician who might have overstayed his welcome, the brothers relive the highlights of an unforgettable trip. There’s also the legendary rave cave, Alex’s brief transformation into “Ed Yardley,” and a few days exploring the walled city of Lucca. Then it’s back to reality—and Philadelphia sports misery. The Eagles are battling injuries, the Phillies have disappointed, and Jake and Alex are somehow finding comfort in being underdogs again. Ciao, bello. Going Yard is back!

    Ep. 52 | The Bitty Buggy Breakdown, Mordor Cheating Scandal, and Happy Hour Heartbreak | September 23rd, 2026

    Fall is here, football is back, and Alex is already creating workplace problems after accidentally telling a coworker he had a weekend date with Chris Hansen instead of RedZone host Scott Hanson. From there, Alex recaps a great weekend before attempting a peaceful James Taylor commute in the increasingly unreliable Bitty Buggy—complete with rain coming through the window, a broken windshield wiper scraping the glass, and an extra 40 minutes of traffic. Meanwhile, Jake impulsively buys an enormous jar of pickles before reigniting the year-long Walk to Mordor controversy. After his new phone mysteriously credits him with extra miles, Alex launches a full doping investigation and declares the competition’s integrity destroyed. Jake also unveils his Italy-inspired Caesar haircut, the guys return to NFL Pick’ems, and a simple 50-cent wing happy hour turns into full-blown barroom drama when a stranger asks Jake for relationship advice in the bathroom—then immediately ignores it.

    Ep. 51 | Muddy Buddy Propaganda, Mother Goose the Stroopwafel, and Football Is Back | September 16th, 2026

    Summary:  Football is officially back, but first Jake and Alex have some important business to handle. The guys recap a weekend featuring suspiciously “healthy” Muddy Buddies, frisbee golf, an overly intense pickleball opponent, and Jake’s descent into underwear, vegetables and football during his week home alone with Pippin. Jake’s new phone brings tragedy when nearly 1,600 miles of Fantasy Hike progress disappear, while Patty’s AI dog-sitting video inspires the unfortunately named “Patty Pets Pets.” Alex counters with a chaotic weekend of his own involving work happy hour strategy, an armpit-smelling request, a doomed coffee table, a robotic lawnmower and a Princeton date. But the real innovation comes at work, where Alex reveals his method for warming a chilled Stroopwafel: putting it in his back pocket and “Mother Goosing” it. Finally, football returns with Eagles reactions, fantasy victory laps, early-season panic and some Carson Wentz appreciation.

    Ep.50 | The Carrot Top Payoff, 14 Red, and Surviving Vegas | September 10th, 2026

    Episode Summary Episode 50! Jake returns from a Vegas bachelor party physically depleted but spiritually fulfilled—and finally answers the question Going Yard listeners have been waiting weeks to hear: Was Carrot Top worth it? Before getting there, Alex recaps a football kickoff party featuring five TVs, backyard competitions, beer helmets, tackling dummies, and increasingly questionable contests. Then Jake takes us through the full Vegas marathon: four hours of sleep, Excalibur buffet strategy, yardstick drinks, Stadium Swim, college football in 100-degree heat, and a bachelor party slowly losing its grip on reality. Then comes the main event. Jake reveals the full manifesto that convinced 12 grown men to see Carrot Top and delivers his official review. But somehow the night gets even stranger when the groom bets on 14 red—and hits it twice in a row. Plus: fantasy drafts, Fremont Street, fat little piggies, bubble craps, White Castle, and the long road to recovery.  Timestamps / Chapters0:00 – NEVER VAMP 0:30 – Going Yard goes corporate 1:05 – Jake somehow survived Vegas 1:45 – Alex attends the Third Annual Football Day 2:45 – Five TVs and full football degeneracy 3:00 – A man gives birth to a football 3:30 – Beer helmets: legitimate technology or always a gag? 5:00 – The Football Day spread 5:45 – The Dad Strength Competition 6:45 – Alex wins without having the dad bod 7:15 – Pushups, football bowling & backyard competitions 8:00 – Best Juke Move 8:35 – The most questionable competition of Football Day 9:30 – Alex has to experience this mostly sober 10:45 – The Vegas Saga begins11:45 – Four hours of sleep before Vegas 12:30 – Welcome to Excalibur 13:30 – The all-inclusive deal that started everything 14:15 – Casey becomes obsessed with the buffet 15:40 – Yardstick drinks immediately enter the equation 16:45 – The Knights of Excalibur 17:30 – The dangerous all-inclusive Italian dinner 18:20 – Night One catches up with Jake 19:15 – The savvy early exit 19:45 – Evaluating the Excalibur buffet 21:10 – Jake's newfound love for honeydew 21:45 – Stadium Swim22:30 – Why the groom is a football sicko 23:30 – Walking through a casino in bathing suits 24:15 – The longest escalator in human history 24:45 – Football Mecca 25:40 – A PITCHER of espresso martini 26:20 – Jake secretly switches to orange juice and water 27:15 – Some members of the group do NOT pace themselves 28:40 – “Bin Laden was part of the CIA” 29:00 – Jake realizes he's way too sober 29:40 – An eight-hour shift at the pool 30:25 – The most important bachelor-party nap of all time 30:50 – IT'S CARROT TOP TIME31:00 – Jake actually convinced everyone 31:30 – The Carrot Top manifesto spreads to Discord 33:00 – Jake reads the complete Carrot Top sales pitch34:25 – “We need a little friction because that's how you make a fire” 35:00 – Why a TERRIBLE show would still be a win 35:50 – Alex reviews Jake's salesmanship 36:30 – Usher never stood a chance 37:00 – Cashing in the sacred buffet tokens 37:45 – Entering the Luxor 38:15 – The warm-up comic 39:15 – What exactly IS a Carrot Top show? 40:10 – How does 61-year-old Carrot Top look?41:45 – Tie-dye, leopard pants and the legendary red hair 42:20 – The Carrot Top hype video 43:10 – Carrot Top begins firing 44:30 – Jake realizes he's responsible for bringing 12 people here 45:15 – The show's extremely sophisticated set list 46:15 – Jake starts sweating 47:00 – The 2003 energy is alive and well 48:15 – Why Carrot Top is basically a band 49:10 – The Vegas hotel-room joke that gets Jake 50:40 – Why live comedy hits differently 51:05 – Carrot Top understands Vegas tourists 52:00 – The encore nobody expected 52:30 – The official bachelor-party Carrot Top reviews53:20 – The group is perfectly divided 53:45 – Jake's original Carrot Top thesis was CORRECT54:20 – Vegas gives everyone $25 in free play 55:00 – Modern slot machines make absolutely no sense 56:00 – The groom puts everything on his birthday number 57:10 – 14 RED58:00 – The casino accidentally overpays him 59:10 – “I gotta go 14 again” 59:40 – 14 RED.

    Ep.49 | The Eagles Game That Never Happened, The Tavern Dream, and Going Nuts for Football | September 2nd, 2026

    Summary Jake and Alex are one episode away from 50, and football season has officially arrived. Alex starts with the Eagles preseason game that never happened: free tickets, a last-minute meetup with Andrew, brutal stadium traffic, $50 parking, and the eventual decision to simply give up and go home. Meanwhile, Jake’s considerably calmer weekend at a local historic museum uncovers Yardley family history, a 1700s ferry operation, and confirmation of his long-running theory that old taverns were spaced roughly a day’s horse ride apart. Naturally, this reignites Jake’s dream of creating a communal tavern—before a disappointing cheesesteak nearly ruins the afternoon. Then Jake enters full fantasy-football sicko mode, recounting his livestreamed Brilliantly Dumb draft, his legendary rosemary nuts, and a looming thunderstorm. The guys wrap with The Bear, fantasy commissioner Lisa, Green Lantern, Phillies baseball, and Alex revealing his scientifically perfected baseball-nap setup.  Timestamps / Chapters0:00 – The Kelce brothers stole Alex's Art of War shtick 0:45 – Running into a Going Yard listener in the wild 2:00 – Dylan recreates the high school senior-trip photo 3:30 – Alex is officially locked in at the gym 4:30 – Labor Day weekend is about to get spicy 5:00 – Surprise Eagles preseason tickets 6:00 – Andrew arrives in full Eagles mode 7:15 – The Eagles trip begins falling apart 8:00 – The worst traffic Alex has ever experienced 8:40 – $50 PARKING FOR PRESEASON?!9:15 – Pulling the ripcord on the Eagles game 10:40 – Jake's equally exciting weekend: local history 11:30 – The Yardleys apparently ran a ferry 12:40 – River ferry or magical fairy? 13:20 – Touring a 1600s cabin 14:15 – Musty, musky, damp AND moist 15:05 – The tavern theory is finally CONFIRMED 16:00 – Jake gains access to the sacred tavern book 16:40 – The 250-year, $1-a-year lease 17:30 – Inside an old-school tavern 18:30 – Jake's tavern dream returns19:45 – Why intergenerational spaces matter 21:00 – Community without screens 22:25 – Jake and Lisa try Steve's Prince of Steaks 23:00 – Oh no.

    Ep.48 | Minion Mayhem, Celebrity Catering Stories, and The Honeydew Experiment | August 25th, 2026

    Summary Jake comes straight from a run and Alex arrives in his trusty “Bitty Buggy” as the brothers kick things off debating which Mario Kart and movie vehicles best represent their cars. From there, they fully embrace their Funcle Era, recounting the decision to attend their five-year-old nephew’s birthday dressed as Minions—including a costumed Wawa run and the crushing realization that the birthday boy wasn’t particularly impressed. Alex recaps another date in Philadelphia, nearly misses a romantic opportunity at a singles event, and may have manifested his future Dalmatian into existence. The brothers then revisit one of their strangest Los Angeles memories: catering a celebrity-filled party featuring John Mayer, John Legend, John Stamos, LL Cool J, Darth Vader, and Rob Lowe thanking Stormtroopers for their service. Finally, Jake channels The Bear and turns a humble honeydew into an absurdly elaborate frozen dessert—proving that sometimes you just have to do the dew.  Timestamps 0:00 – Jake comes straight from a run 1:30 – Interview vibes & losing your sole 3:00 – The Funcle Era continues 3:30 – Alex's Nissan Juke is a Bitty Buggy 5:00 – Defending the Bitty Buggy 6:00 – Alex's car literally starts falling apart 7:30 – What movie vehicle is your car? 9:00 – Jake's Jeep gets a questionable Jurassic Park comparison 10:45 – The five-year-old Minion birthday party 11:30 – Going to Wawa dressed as Minions 12:20 – Discussing stock portfolios in full Minion costumes 15:15 – The Minions make their grand entrance 16:30 – Children expose us as Minion frauds 17:30 – Alex's birthday-party side quest 18:30 – A five-year-old gets slowly hunted by an elderly dog 19:45 – “Why are you dressed like that?” 21:00 – The chocolate milk legend 21:45 – Alex's blind date at Talula's Garden 22:30 – Is there such a thing as too much fig? 23:45 – Chaotic Singles & watching the Phillies 25:45 – Alex leaves approximately 10 minutes too early 27:00 – Alex vision-boards his dream Philly apartment 28:30 – Manifesting a Dalmatian 29:30 – Alex's completely legitimate firefighter story 31:30 – 50-cent wings & working from the bar 33:15 – Remembering our craziest LA catering job 35:00 – John Mayer, John Legend & John Stamos 36:00 – A coworker has no idea who John Stamos is 37:15 – New Girl comes to life 38:30 – LL Cool J, Prince's band & Stormtroopers 40:00 – Rob Lowe joins the Dark Side41:30 – “Thank you for your service” 42:30 – LL Cool J takes the stage 43:15 – The Hollywood acid trip45:30 – Going analog & the transistor radio 46:45 – Alex's old-school alarm clock 48:30 – The Phillies are rolling 51:00 – Fantasy football season is officially here 52:00 – Jake joins a 16-team guillotine league 54:00 – Preseason injuries create immediate chaos 56:00 – Fantasy football group chats come alive 57:00 – “This reeks of collusion” 58:00 – Alex gets the celebrity entrance into a new league 59:30 – Trying to trade the No. 2 pick 1:01:15 – The art of being a group-chat volume shooter 1:03:00 – Never double-book your fantasy drafts 1:04:30 – Is opening NFL weekend becoming a Boys Bash? 1:05:15 – Jake sells Alex on Silo1:08:00 – The Bear gives Jake secondhand anxiety 1:09:45 – How Jake and Lisa divide cooking duties 1:11:00 – Jake is a jazz chef 1:12:00 – The summer harvest is ending 1:13:30 – The honeydew of all honeydews1:15:30 – Instagram influences Jake's dessert plans 1:16:30 – “You cannot come into the kitchen” 1:17:20 – Elevating the honeydew 1:18:30 – The plan immediately goes wrong 1:19:15 – Pistachios enter the equation 1:20:30 – Jake channels The Bear1:21:30 – The final honeydew presentation 1:22:30 – Alex reviews Jake's culinary journey 1:23:15 – Why honeydew deserves better 1:25:00 – That's how you do the dewhttps://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley
