    Ep.43 | Peanuts, Ponchos, and Power Outages | July 21, 2026

    Summary After a packed couple of weeks, the guys catch up on everything from new commutes and Phillies games to summer storms and house hunting. Alex shares the infamous "Murphy Ball" story involving an automated dog toy that turns into absolute chaos, gives another update on his ongoing friendship with Fawny the neighborhood deer, and recaps a surprisingly entertaining night at Piccolo's market featuring free pizza, Cutco knives, cigars, and live music. Jake updates everyone on Pippin's new scratching post obsession, recounts a great dinner at the renovated Pineville Tavern, and tells the story of touring an open house led by a hilariously opinionated real estate agent who practically talked them out of buying the home. The brothers also debate Shane Gillis' record-breaking stadium comedy show, review Will Ferrell's new golf comedy series Hawk, relive a rain-soaked Phillies tailgate featuring peanuts and decades-old Disney ponchos, and somehow finish the episode with Jake's power going out mid-recording—turning the final minutes into an unexpectedly funny behind-the-scenes look at how the show comes together.

    Ep.42 | Little Rashy, Oreo Ball Diplomacy, and Tattoo Roulette | July 16, 2026

    Summary After a few busy weeks, the guys are back catching up on everything from new jobs to beach trips. Alex shares the reality of his first few weeks in corporate life, including officially breaking up with SEPTA after multiple train delays and a derailment, while Jake checks in from the Jersey Shore with a virtual beachside recording setup and updates on Pippin's newest cat furniture.  The conversation bounces through prison-style home workouts, mini golf, three-scoop ice cream disasters, childhood memories of the infamous "Federal Deficit" sundae, and surprisingly detailed bedtime routines involving magnesium gummies, lavender nasal strips, and the pursuit of perfect sleep. They also recap an unforgettable Fourth of July rooftop party in Philadelphia featuring gourmet hot dogs, Oreo balls, fireworks flying a little too close for comfort, and a dramatic thunderstorm rolling into the city. The episode wraps with Brooklyn brewery adventures, firefighter recruitment games, an unexpected tattoo compliment, and a game of "What Are the Odds?" that may have Jake permanently putting Lisa's name on his foot.  Chapters / Timestamps 0:00 – Recording from the beach & Alex's new job update 2:00 – The end of Alex's train era 5:00 – Pippin's new scratching post dilemma 8:00 – Prison workouts, push-ups & home fitness 13:00 – Mini golf, three-scoop ice cream & beach trip 15:00 – "Little Rashy" and lactose tolerance debates 18:00 – Magnesium gummies & bedtime routines 22:00 – Lavender gardens and wildflower yards 23:00 – The legendary "Federal Deficit" ice cream sundae 29:00 – Fourth of July rooftop party in Philadelphia 35:00 – Fireworks, thunderstorms & rooftop chaos 39:00 – Oreo balls and gourmet hot dogs 49:00 – Double date at Niko's and Michelin-star aspirations 57:00 – Carrot cake perfection 1:00:00 – Weekend resets and heated stretch classes 1:02:00 – Brooklyn brewery & firefighter recruiting event 1:08:00 – The tattoo compliment 1:11:00 – "What Are the Odds?" tattoo roulette 1:15:00 – Wrapping up & Sixers offseason teaser#GoingYard #ComedyPodcast #FourthOfJuly #Philadelphia #Brooklyn #BeachTrip #MiniGolf #TattooRoulette #OreoBalls #CarrotCake #TrainLife #BrotherPodcast #FunnyPodcast #Storytime #GoingYardPodcast https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

    Ep.41 Pt. 2 | The Shady Tree Committee, Tahoe Bachelor Party Chaos, and Alex Becomes a City Guy | July 2, 2026

    Summary Part 2 picks up right where the Tahoe trip starts to spiral. Jake heads into a 23-person bachelor party split across multiple houses, complete with a custom documentary premiere for the groom, a tippy Jeep ride through the mountains, and a Lake Tahoe boat day fueled by tequila, Creed, and enough personalities to fill three separate reality shows. From there it turns into full bachelor-party anarchy: casino losses, Wildcard and his crypto wallet collection, zombie golf, first-shower-of-the-weekend admissions, and a showdown between an angry Englishman and a drunk cowboy.  Meanwhile, Alex gives the update on his first week at the new job and his transformation into a full-on Philadelphia train commuter. Between SEPTA rides, railfan YouTube culture, an ice cream truck soundtrack outside the office all day, and surviving his first corporate happy hour, the second half of the episode becomes the perfect contrast to Jake’s Tahoe survival story.  Timestamps / Chapter Ideas 0:00 – Back for Part 2 and the return of the Shady Tree Committee 2:00 –  HOA tree war and Jake’s lumberjack solution 11:30 – Sacramento recap and the drive into Tahoe 15:00 – Airport pickup sign 18:00 – Jeep Wrangler duck culture and the tippy mountain ride 24:00 – Bachelor party work Zoom nightmare 27:00 – The 23-person bachelor party setup 34:00 – The custom bachelor party documentary premiere 39:00 – Bruce Springsteen pandering to the Jersey contingent 43:00 – Boat day on Lake Tahoe: Creed, tequila, and wrong dock groups 51:00 – Casino night, ice cream sandwiches, and Wildcard  emerges 58:00 – Crypto wallets, penis coin, and Wildcard's full evolution 1:00:30 – Zombie golf 1:05:00 – Englishman vs. cowboy therapist showdown 1:09:00 – Lisa’s Vegas-to-Sacramento relay and wedding weekend exhaustion 1:13:00 – Jake forgets dress shoes and wears blue Nikes to the wedding 1:17:00 – The Rave Cave gets rejected 1:18:00 – Flight delays, Vegas-Chicago-Philly misery, and red-eye travel hell 1:23:00 – Alex’s first week of work and becoming a train commuter 1:24:30 – Railfans, SEPTA, and train YouTube culture 1:28:00 – The all-day ice cream truck outside the office 1:30:00 – First corporate happy hour and train delays home Hashtags #GoingYard #ComedyPodcast #TahoeBachelorParty #LakeTahoe #ShadyTreeCommittee #BachelorPartyChaos #CryptoGuy #TrainCommute #Philadelphia #SEPTA #BrotherPodcast #TravelChaos #FunnyPodcast #WeddingWeekend #GoingYardPodcast https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

    Ep.41 pt.1 | Cool Guy in a Bucket Hat, Soccer Bar Chaos, and the Tahoe Travel Saga | July 2, 2026

    Summary Going Yard is back after a couple-week hiatus, and the guys have a lot of life to catch up on. Jake recaps a weekend in Easton, Pennsylvania full of rooftop drinks, a sprawling beer garden, a cold plunge in a stream, and a farmer’s market coffee order under the alias “cool guy in a bucket hat.” He also shares why Easton feels like the kind of place where a tiny comedy speakeasy could absolutely thrive.  Alex brings the chaos with an all-time soccer bar story from Doylestown during a USA World Cup match. After bonding with a bald stranger over pregame trash talk and pitchers of beer, Alex gets picked up in celebration after the first goal, rubs the guy’s bald head for luck, and leads a “USA!” chant from the stage. When the second goal gets waved off and then reinstated, they finally learn each other’s names. It’s exactly the kind of weirdly wholesome sports-bar moment this podcast lives for.  Jake also starts the next travel chapter: a chaotic flight to California that somehow turns into an $800 airline voucher, a luxury airport lounge experience, and the lead-in to a Tahoe bachelor party and wedding doubleheader. The episode closes with the promise of even more stories in part two, including Tahoe, the wedding weekend, and something called the “Shady Tree Committee.”  Chapter / Timestamp Ideas 0:00 – Dateline intro and podcast return 1:30 – Summer backlog and life updates 3:00 – Jake’s Easton trip begins 6:30 – Dalton the Tugboat Mud Man 12:00 – Easton as a secret comedy city 17:00 – The firefighter handshake tangent 20:00 – Burning deodorant and gentleman swagger 25:00 – Easton beer garden and soccer watch party 32:00 – Cold plunge, farmer’s market, and “cool guy in a bucket hat” 40:00 – Alex’s Doylestown soccer bar story begins 47:00 – Tim picks Alex up after the USA goal 50:00 – “I’m Alex.” “I’m Tim.” 51:00 – Rooftop bar and Aunt Cindy sighting 53:00 – Jake’s $800 airport voucher finesse 57:00 – Capital One lounge, shower, and cocktails 1:07:00 – Sacramento trivia night and setup for Tahoe 1:09:00 – Tease for part two: Tahoe + Shady Tree Committee Hashtags #GoingYard #ComedyPodcast #SoccerBar #WorldCup #EastonPA #Doylestown #TahoeTrip #TravelChaos #BucketHatSummer #PodcastLife #BrotherPodcast #SportsStories #FunnyPodcast #AmericanOutlaws #TriviaNight #BachelorParty #GoingYardPodcast https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley

    Ep.40 | Winston the Disc Golf Dog, Fawny Returns, and The Adolis Garcia Fan Club | June 10th, 2026

    Summary This week on Going Yard, the guys are operating at maximum chaotic energy. Alex prepares for his new job and debates how much Eastern philosophy is too much Eastern philosophy for a first impression, while Jake proudly unveils his growing collection of Montreal souvenirs and water bottle stickers.  The weekend recap features a celebratory double date, cigars, shuffleboard rivalries, old fashions, and a pair of golf outings that somehow turn into a high school reunion. The guys relive bunker meltdowns, Ruben Studdard nostalgia, and the creation of the unofficial Adolis Garcia Fan Club.  But the real stars of the episode are the animals. Fawny the baby deer makes a shocking return appearance on the golf course, while Alex encounters Winston, a legendary disc golf dog who rides a one-wheel through the woods with his weed-smoking owner. It’s an all-time Bucks County fever dream.

    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.

    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. The episode wraps with excitement for the upcoming Montreal Formula 1 bachelor party, complete with Ferrari shirts, poutine plans, and “Chrissy & Allie Take Montreal.”  Chapters / Timestamps  0:00 – Wemby transcends basketball culture  4:00 – Mike Breen, sports commentary & family dinner announcer jokes  7:00 – Hilary Duff admiration hour  10:00 – Visiting the nephews & backyard wiffle ball nostalgia  17:00 – Pinball machines, TNT & KahunaVille arcade memories  27:00 – AI history videos & revolutionary tavern rabbit holes  34:00 – Bird watching algorithms & Bird Buddy obsession  42:00 – NYC ferry trip & subway shoe discourse  55:00 – Triple Sun dinner, cigar lounge & Zebra Stripe Whale  1:06:00 – Yacht Rock margarita night chaos  1:11:00 – The swinger encounter story  1:18:00 – Ferrari shirts & Montreal F1 prep  1:24:00 – “Chrissy & Allie Take Montreal” preview Hashtags #GoingYard #ComedyPodcast #Wemby #NBAPlayoffs #YachtRock #F1 #MontrealGP #ArcadeNostalgia #KahunaVille #NYC #BrotherPodcast #VictorWembanyama #Ferrari #Cigars #Storytime #PodcastLife #BirdWatching #CentralPark #Formula1 #Comedy https://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley
