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

Ep.36 | Pot Pie Power Play, Golf Course Dumpster Guy, and Pippin’s Fire Escape | May 13th, 2026

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.

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
