Once upon a time, campus transportation meant feet—or maybe a sketchy bike. Now it’s electric scooters, frat house electrocutions, and dryers that give up on life. Ed and OB tackle it all with the weary wisdom of two guys who survived the ‘80s without helmets or Google.

Drinking from the Garden Hose podcast

From Super Bowl ads to French restaurants, Ed and OB serve up a tasting menu of absurdity. They dissect the “6-7” meme, decode Dartmouth drama, and debate whether parental tracking is high-tech love or low-key espionage. Equal parts cultural critique and stand-up energy.

This week, Ed and OB trade war stories about unfinished home projects (spoiler: Ed’s still not done), sports mishaps, and family chaos. The banter stays light, but the real fun comes when they reflect on their “glorious” engineering backgrounds—aka a masterclass in trial, error, and failure. Turns out, nothing bonds people quite like swapping stories of what did not work.

Ed and OB kicked things off debating the important stuff—NFL greats vs. One Piece pirates—because why not compare linebackers to Luffy? From there, they stumbled through scheduling snafus, basked in listener love, and celebrated their meteoric rise from hobbyists to “professional” podcasters (read: they now make enough from commercials to maybe buy lunch). The episode wrapped with hot takes on stadium etiquette, weird neighborhood sightings, and the eternal struggle of keeping clothes stain-free.

Drinking from the Garden Hose podcast

Ed and OB’s latest pod had it all: boy-band dreams, baseball fantasies, and a phrase so overused it deserves its own fan club. They dove into viral internet nonsense, debated whether a Backstreet Boys Vegas residency could change lives (spoiler: OB might start packing glitter), and mapped out big ideas for the podcast’s future. Along the way, they swapped stories about Yankees–Red Sox games, catching home runs without bodily harm, and why the glory days of R-rated comedies still make today’s movies look PG. Your favorite podcast about nothing returns, and—as always—the charm is...

Drinking from the Garden Hose podcast

Ed and OB return to the mic (after the usual tech chaos) to talk lawns, laughs, and the day OB son officially destroyed a car—no mystery, just mayhem. They cover a cinematic spectrum from slapstick gold to whatever Hollywood’s cooking next, dabble in sports nostalgia, and unveil a foolproof beach defense strategy involving bird crackers and a complete disregard for social norms. It’s wildly personal, unintentionally insightful, and definitely not approved by the DMV.

Ed and OB fire up the mics to talk tech, trauma, and tiny shorts. Ed revisits his 8th grade "Scared Straight" prison trip (yes, really), while OB tries to understand how fashion went from flannel to five-inch inseams. From mustache pride to questionable khaki choices, they dig into how clothes mess with your self-esteem—and how Ed’s entire travel wardrobe philosophy hinges on a mysterious, unbought jacket. Come for the audio setup talk, stay for the over-analysis of men’s thighs.d and OB fire up the mics to talk tech, trauma, and tiny shorts. Ed revisits his 8th grade "Scared Straight"...

After their usual battle with technology (spoiler: the tech wins again), Ed and OB finally hit record. Ed teases a very important takeaway from his recent travels, while OB proudly reveals his trusty notebook—completely blank, as always, just in case Ed accidentally says something useful. They kick things off with a little hat banter, a lot of side-eye, and the official announcement: Drinking from the Garden Hose is now streaming on YouTube! Brace yourself for travel tales, nonsense, and notebook neglect.
