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 spiral from hats and parfaits into one of the most aggressively suburban episodes yet.

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
