    Ep.35 | Broad Street Run, My Wife and I are dating FOR FRIENDS, "How'd you Golf?" | 5/6/26

    Summary This week on Going Yard, the guys fully embrace becoming “Philly guys.” Alex recaps running the Broad Street Run through the streets of Philadelphia, complete with packed subway rides, Fireball shots mid-race, Wawa pregame strategy, Rocky energy, and strangers high-fiving across the city. 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.

    Ep.34 | Pac-Man Shoe Interview, Piccolo’s Nightclub Chaos, and CVS Bag Yu-Gi-Oh Resurrection | April 28th, 2026

    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
