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

SummaryThis 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 #BrotherPodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@goingyardley
