  Ep.47 | A Bird in the Office, The Carrot Top Crusade, and Football is Back | August 18th, 2026

  Aug 19, 20261h 42mS1

  Summary Football is officially back, which means Going Yard is slowly returning to its roots—but not before Jake and Alex solve late-stage capitalism. The brothers open by imagining a dystopian future where everything in your own home is a microtransaction, from vending-machine refrigerators to a 29-cent bidet experience. After recapping the Phillies’ Field of Dreams game, Jake discovers the emotional toll of the “toll troll,” while Alex arrives at work to find a tiny bird terrorizing his coworkers. Then Jake prepares for yet another bachelor party in Vegas and makes an increasingly passionate case for choosing Carrot Top over Blue Man Group. What starts as a simple show preference becomes a full philosophical argument about happiness, expectations, novelty, and why a terrible Carrot Top performance might actually be the perfect bachelor-party memory. Finally, football returns as the guys break down the Eagles and run their first fantasy football mock draft of the season.

  Aug 12, 20261h 19mS1

  Summary: Jake and Alex are back after another packed summer weekend, starting with an unexpectedly wholesome encounter between two strangers running through a downpour. That somehow leads directly into Jake’s newest lifestyle change: joining the bidet community and discovering the invigorating power of what Alex dubs the “Sphincter Ice Plunge.” The brothers recap their fantasy football league’s WWE Royal Rumble draft lottery before realizing their twin powers are apparently back after showing up to a birthday party—and the podcast itself—in nearly identical outfits. From there, it’s a weekend of first birthdays, engagement parties, deer etiquette, Greek food, and embracing the “fun uncle” stage of life. Alex finally spills the details on a first date at Sassafras, while Jake tries unsuccessfully to sell him on Baldur’s Gate 3 .

  Jul 29, 20261h 21mS1

  Summary After last week's power outage, the brothers are finally back with a packed episode. Jake recounts a grooming disaster that accidentally leaves him with a brand-new beard style right before a triple date in Philadelphia, while Alex embraces his inner cowboy at a chaotic singles line dancing event that somehow leads to networking opportunities instead of romance. Along the way, they reminisce about their early days in Los Angeles, landing TV gigs, and why Double Dare 2000 still deserves more respect. The conversation then shifts to adulthood as Jake shares his first experience with a new dentist, debates whether Invisalign is worth it, and wonders if fixing the gaps in his teeth is cosmetic or practical. Finally, the brothers dive headfirst into the biggest sports story of the year: LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers. They break down what the move means for his legacy, why this roster could be one of the most versatile in the NBA, and make an early prediction that Philadelphia could be on the verge of one of the greatest championship runs in the city's history.

  Jul 22, 20261h 9mS1

  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.
