    Summary  This week starts with an unexpectedly deep discussion about hydration strategy, coffee schedules, tea habits, and the dangers of having four beverages on your desk at once. From there, the guys recap a surprisingly packed weekend that included Haze Fest, Newtown Ice, Phillies baseball, dive bar jukebox politics, and the ongoing recovery from the Montreal bachelor party.  Hashtags #GoingYard #Podcast #BabyFawnSaga #BucksCounty #ComedyPodcast #VictorWembanyama #NBAFinals #Eagles #Phillies #HazeFest #NewtownIce #Ritas #LordOfTheRings #WalkToMordor #SportsPodcast #BrotherPodcast #WildlifeEncounter #FunnyStories #Pennsylvania #GoingYardPodcast https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

    Ep.38 | Burnt Popcorn, Montreal F1 Chaos, and The Karaoke Saga | May 27th, 2026

    Summary This week on Going Yard, the guys recap their absolutely chaotic Montreal Formula 1 bachelor party weekend. What starts with a discussion about burnt popcorn, expired food logic, and workplace microwave disasters quickly escalates into one of the wildest travel stories they’ve told yet. Alex details a six-hour airline customer service nightmare, a 2AM emergency road trip through storms and fallen trees, and a duct-tape car repair mission on the side of the highway before even crossing into Canada. Once the crew finally reunites in Montreal, the weekend becomes a blur of racetrack beer gardens, poutine side quests, maple whiskey, karaoke heroics, and one of the funniest accidental swinger subplots imaginable. Between aggressive French neighbors, George Russell crashing directly in front of their section, and Country Roads uniting an entire karaoke bar, the guys survive pure bachelor party chaos—and somehow come out spiritually refreshed on the other side.  Chapters / Timestamps  0:00 – Burnt popcorn philosophy & expiration date debates  2:30 – Jake almost ruins Lisa’s work meeting  5:00 – Montreal bachelor party begins  7:00 – Flight cancellations & airline customer service nightmare  13:00 – Emergency duct-tape roadside car repair  16:00 – Notre Dame Basilica & finally arriving in Montreal  19:00 – Survivor finale chaos before takeoff  23:00 – Airport weed pen disaster & checked bag meltdown  28:00 – Montreal Uber line insanity  34:00 – The angry French neighbor & double noise complaint confusion  41:00 – Habs playoff energy & maple whiskey nights  44:00 – French bakery paradise & Montreal subway adventures  50:00 – First day at the F1 track  57:00 – Race day chaos, crashes & George Russell meltdown  1:05:00 – Karaoke bar takeover begins  1:10:00 – Tenacious D performance fallout  1:17:00 – Country Roads unites the bar  1:28:00 – Martini glass explosion & karaoke bartender  1:30:00 – Steak-and-lobster zombie mode  1:34:00 – Rejected from clubs for “ruining the ratio”  1:35:00 – Ramen recovery & post-trip exhaustion Hashtags #GoingYard #Formula1 #F1 #MontrealGP #ComedyPodcast #BachelorParty #Karaoke #CountryRoads #Montreal #TravelStories #Poutine #GeorgeRussell #LewisHamilton #PodcastLife #BrotherPodcast #FunnyStories #AirlineChaos #BurntPopcorn #CanadianGrandPrix #MontrealNightlife https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

    Summary This week on Going Yard, the guys accidentally turn into sports analysts while trying to explain why Victor Wembanyama has transcended basketball and entered full pop culture status. From there, the episode spirals into pure nostalgia with deep dives into childhood arcade spots like TNT and KahunaVille, pinball machine dreams, and the golden age of mall culture. Alex recaps a wildly social weekend featuring cigar lounges, Zebra Stripe Whale ice cream, yacht rock margarita nights, trampoline card games, and one of the strangest encounters he’s had in the wild. Meanwhile, Jake shares stories from a quick New York City trip involving ferry rides, Central Park brunches, subway shoe debates, and the realization that New Yorkers treat the first warm day like a public holiday.

    Summary This week on Going Yard, the guys spiral from hats and parfaits into one of the most aggressively suburban episodes yet. Jake unveils his growing “hat wall,” Alex debates the ethics of murdering flies mid-podcast, and somehow the conversation evolves into pot pie diplomacy, local Pennsylvania IPAs, and double-date statistics that are beginning to look suspiciously high. The episode features Jake’s now-infamous “Pot Pie Power Play,” a failed attempt to socially strong-arm friends into eating heavy winter comfort food in May, followed by an emergency pivot to Rita’s water ice diplomacy. The guys also recap chaotic low-stakes golf at a borderline abandoned course, a full apartment fire evacuation involving terrified cat Pippin, and an ongoing identity crisis centered around becoming “local PA people.” Elsewhere, they dive into Rory Scovel comedy bits, trivia night chaos, favorite TV shows like The Studio, Shrinking, and The Four Seasons, plus a brief funeral for the current era of Philly sports. It’s cozy chaos, neighborhood-core podcasting, and maybe the most “adult life” episode of Going Yard yet.  Chapters / Timestamps  0:00 – Hat collections, quarter-zips & podcast fashion critiques  5:00 – Real estate jokes & remembering you have free will  8:00 – Mom’s pottery studio & the anti-gopher alarm saga  19:00 – Recipe apps, meal planning & becoming domesticated  24:00 – The Pot Pie Power Play begins  32:00 – Rita’s debates & cherry water ice controversy  35:00 – Catan betrayals & “Longest Road” marital disputes  43:00 – Poké bowls, double-date statistics & local PA beers  58:00 – Apartment fire scare & evacuating Pippin  1:06:00 – Trivia night & discovering “Choosing Texas”  1:12:00 – TV recommendations: The Studio, Shrinking & The Four Seasons 1:16:00 – Rory Scovel appreciation hour  1:25:00 – Philly sports collapse & Sixers frustrations  1:33:00 – Wrapping up another suburban chaos episode Hashtags #GoingYard #ComedyPodcast #PotPiePowerPlay #Ritas #Catan #GolfStories #PhillySports #RoryScovel #Shrinking #TheStudio #WaterIce #DoubleDate #PodcastLife #Comedy #Philly #PippinTheCat #TriviaNight #IPA #SuburbanLife #BrotherPodcast https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

Meanwhile, Jake details his chaotic morning golf round featuring emergency shoe repairs, oatmeal chemistry experiments, and one of the funniest “How’d you golf?” conversations of all time. The episode also dives into brewery culture somehow turning into daycare culture, accidental adult “friend dating” as married couples in a new town, and a deep nostalgic detour into Blink-182, Duolingo harassment, and old-school diner breakfasts. To close things out, the guys celebrate the Sixers finally beating the Celtics, break down Philly sports chaos, and somehow end on Carrot Top, AI, and The Matrix. A very normal Going Yard episode.

    Summary  This week’s episode kicks off with one of the all-time stories—Alex shows up late to an interview after walking through Philly with a completely broken “Pac-Man” shoe, somehow turning disaster into a solid performance. From there, the guys recap a packed weekend: baby shower celebrations, bar takeovers, and a surprisingly competitive darts showdown powered by questionable Spotify DJ choices. Alex shares a wild night out where their childhood pizza spot, Piccolo’s, has somehow transformed into a full-blown nightclub—complete with generational chaos and near-disasters on the dance floor. Meanwhile, Jake dives into nostalgia, uncovering a CVS bag filled with their old Yu-Gi-Oh cards and accidentally falling back into collector mode. It’s a mix of absurd real-life moments, throwback memories, and classic brother banter—plus the start of some questionable new segments that may or may not stick.

    Ep.33| The New York City Trip, Colbert Show, and Danny Rads| April 22nd, 2026

    🎙️ Show Notes We’re back. No guests, no side quests—just the two of us—and somehow this NYC trip turned into way more than we bargained for! We both head into the city, do the whole thing: Staten Island ferry, a random Irish bar with a $500 whiskey we absolutely did not buy (but will be back for in 2029), and then the Daniel Radcliffe one-man show, which was honestly incredible. Full audience participation, sock puppet-level commitment—the whole deal. Alex has his cinematic train ride moment immediately snapped by pure New York chaos, I’m in the hotel room questioning the building’s structural integrity for no reason, and then we meet up, get a little too lathered, and try to navigate Times Square like it’s Mario Kart. Then somehow we end up at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—Alisha fully hooking it up—backstage, on stage, rooftop, the whole thing. It felt fake, honestly. There’s also Alex accidentally becoming a real estate guy for 20 minutes, a $5 beer/shot/hot dog situation that got out of hand quickly, and a subway ride home that reminded us… yeah, this is New York. Just us catching up, bouncing around, and trying to remember the order any of this actually happened in. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Back to the Dynamic Duo No guest this week—just catching up and teeing up the NYC trip. 01:00 – NYC Plans & Colbert Setup Why we ended up in the city and what we had lined up. 02:00 – Word of the Day & Early Tangents “Jouska,” “loquacious,” and classic off-the-rails energy. 05:30 – Stand-Up Throwbacks Old bits, edgy jokes, and comedy nostalgia. 10:00 – Staten Island Ferry & Travel Realization How easy NYC actually is from PA—and first stops. 12:00 – Irish Bar & $500 Whiskey Dead Rabbit, dollar bills on the wall, and future plans. 22:00 – Staten Island & School of Rock Moment Lisa’s college + unexpected movie connection. 28:00 – Broadway Show with Daniel Radcliffe Wildly interactive one-man show experience. 41:00 – Alex’s Train Ride Reality Check Peaceful vibes → immediate NYC chaos. 43:00 – Dinner Meetup & Train Drama Friends arrive late after a tunnel scare. 47:00 – Times Square (Lathered Up) Navigating crowds like Mario Kart. 55:00 – Late Night Hockey Comeback Unexpected Buffalo Sabres hype. 1:00:00 – Fake Real Estate Career Begins Alex accidentally sells himself as a lender. 1:03:00 – Central Park Morning & Bird App Pokémon Go… but for birds. 1:10:00 – Rudy’s Bar & $5 All-American Special Beer, shot, hot dog—things escalate fast. 1:13:00 – The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Experience VIP access, warm-up comic, and backstage tour. 1:22:00 – Rooftop Drinks & Wrap-Up Ending the NYC run on a high note. 1:25:00 – Subway Characters & Classic NYC Moments Strangers bonding over chaos. 1:30:00 – Philly Sports Talk (Sixers + Eagles Draft) Slash Bros, optimism, and draft strategy. 🔥 Hashtags #GoingYard #NYCTrip #StephenColbert #DanielRadcliffe #Broadway #TimesSquare #StatenIslandFerry #ComedyPodcast #PodcastLife #BarStories #TravelStories #BehindTheScenes #LateShow #NYCVibes #Sixers #EaglesDraft #PhillySports #FunnyPodcast #Storytelling #PodcastClips https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley
