    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.

    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

    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.
