O tym tytule
Guard the Yard with Yeardley Smith is a sports interview show that goes beyond the game. In a world where winning is everything and everyone is watching, Yeardley sits down with professional athletes to find out how they personally measure success, and who they are when the uniform comes off. These are warm, wide-ranging conversations with professional athletes about the careers that shaped them, the lives they’ve built beyond their sport, and the experiences, passions, quirks, and questions that make them who they are. Then, before time runs out, each guest faces a rapid-fire round inspired by the clock in their game. Every player, in every sport, in every position, has a story. Guard the Yard wants to hear it.

  • Olympic Speed Climber Emma Hunt
    Oct 28 2026
    Olympic speed climber Emma Hunt joins Yeardley Smith for a candid conversation about perfectionism, pressure, and learning how to love her sport again after the biggest competition of her life. Emma explains how a family trip to a mall rock wall sparked a lifelong obsession with climbing, why she thinks of speed climbing as “vertical running,” and what it takes to race 50 feet up a wall in a matter of seconds. She also opens up about slipping during the Paris Olympics, lying awake afterward, and the post-Olympic blues that followed. Emma shares how she worked through the disappointment, separated one mistake from her identity as an athlete, and began finding her way back to the joy that made her fall in love with climbing in the first place. They also talk about becoming a role model in a rapidly growing Olympic sport, why opening up about herself has not always come naturally, and the perfectionism she channels into baking when she is away from the wall. Then Emma takes on the Final Heat, answering rapid-fire questions about her childhood spy ambitions, irrational fears, her favorite things to bake, and more. Every athlete has a story.

  • Former NFL center Justin Britt
    Oct 14 2026
    Former NFL center Justin Britt joins Yeardley Smith for a candid conversation about competition, identity, vulnerability, and rebuilding a life after football. Justin looks back on growing up as a wrestler and football player in Missouri, going undefeated on his way to a state heavyweight wrestling championship, and eventually choosing football at Mizzou. He shares what it was like to be drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, reach the Super Bowl as a rookie, and adapt from tackle to guard before finding his place at center alongside Russell Wilson. He also opens up about the mental health crisis he experienced while playing for the Houston Texans, the decision to tell the team he was not mentally fit to return to work, and the fear and uncertainty that followed when football suddenly disappeared from his life. Justin reflects on how therapy, his wife and family helped him begin separating who he was from what he did for a living. They also talk about the unexpected second chapter Justin found through distance running, how completing the Chicago Marathon became a kind of rebirth, and why the running community has given him a new place to compete, connect, and be vulnerable. Justin shares how his longtime motto, “Run the Race,” has evolved into a bigger mission to help athletes navigate the silence and identity shift that can come when their playing careers end. Plus, Justin talks about learning from Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson, his love for seeing teammates succeed, becoming more comfortable with his emotions, and why he now wishes he could tell his younger self to slow down and appreciate the ride. Then Justin takes on the Game Clock, answering rapid-fire questions about Spider-Man, Taco Time Northwest, his favorite family tradition, marathon training, the person he admires most, and the feeling of crossing a finish line.

  • Drey Jameson of the Arizona Diamondbacks
    Sep 30 2026
    Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Drey Jameson joins Yeardley Smith for a candid conversation about competition, resilience, and what it takes to keep believing in yourself when the path forward gets complicated. Drey looks back on growing up in the small town of Greenfield, Indiana, where playing against his older brothers helped build his competitive streak and being told he couldn't do something only made him want it more. He shares how he went from expecting to play professionally as an outfielder to struggling in college, finding his footing on the mound, and ultimately becoming a first-round draft pick. He also opens up about undergoing Tommy John surgery and the 18-month recovery that followed, including the mental toll of watching everyone else play while he had to start over and prove himself again. Drey shares why returning to the Major Leagues and earning a save at Wrigley Field in extra innings became one of the proudest moments of his career. They also talk about why Drey thrives under pressure, learning to leave a bad day at the ballpark, and his belief that losing can become something entirely different when you learn from it. Drey reflects on growing up around circumstances he didn't want to repeat, changing what the Jameson name meant in his hometown, and choosing to lead the people he loves by example. Plus, Drey gets into his sneaker obsession, the side hustle that grew from flipping shoes as a kid, his love of golf, and the unforgettable rookie experience that involved singing “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” while wearing a cow suit. Then Drey takes on Extra Innings, answering rapid-fire questions about Sour Patch Kids, SpongeBob, ghosts, snakes and spiders, his favorite ballparks, and the person he trusts most in the world.
