Backyard Pull Up isn’t your typical podcast—it’s the spot where real people come together to laugh, chop it up, and kick back like family. No scripts, no suits, no filters—just good vibes, good convo, and sometimes good food (if you pull up right). From everyday stories and wild current events to family talk and neighborhood memories, this show is about creating the kind of laid-back energy you’d get hanging out in the backyard with friends.
So grab a plate, pull up a chair, and join the conversation—you never know where it’s gonna go, but you’ll always leave feeling like you were part of it.
What happens when finals week collides with watch duty and the internet won’t stop talking about celebrity chaos?
In this episode of The Backyard Pull-Up, Smitty breaks down what college really looks like when you’re not 18 anymore especially when you’re balancing online classes, military life, family responsibilities, and real-world pressure.
From pre-recorded lectures and three-chapter weeks to studying after long days in uniform, this episode keeps it real about the grind adult learners face.
Along the way, Smitty taps into current events including the Diddy trial, 50 Cent’s role in the fallout, and Marlon Wayans speaking out to show how narratives, pressure, and public judgment aren’t just celebrity problems they’re part of everyday life too.
This episode is funny, honest, and relatable but it also lands with heart. Whether you’re in the military, back in school later in life, or just trying to keep up in a world that never slows down, this one’s for you.
Pull up. Laugh a little. And remember you’re not behind. You’re building.

Move or Die Tryin: Real Talk on Moving Day
"Yo, you ever had that feeling when it’s moving day — but not just any move? I’m talking about that childhood move when you pull up to a new neighborhood and the kids start sizing you up like you’re fresh meat. Or that time in your 20s when your boy hits you with the ‘yo, help me move,’ but you pull up and realize nothing is packed and there’s no pizza in sight. Then, you hit 35 and you get that same text — like, seriously? Nah fam, at this age, there’s gotta be food and a back massage waiting for you at the end of that move.
On this episode of The Backyard Pull-Up, Smitty’s diving deep into those real moving day moments — the ones that’ll have you laughing, nodding your head, and maybe even thinking, ‘I ain’t never helping him move again.’ It’s all about growth, pain, and the backyard vibe that comes with it.
So pull up, grab a cold drink, and let’s talk about the realest moves we’ve made in life — whether it’s a new neighborhood, new friends, or just adulting that got you questioning your life choices. Backyard vibes only on this one."
