Drinking from the Garden Hose podcast

Just a couple of guys talking about what it used to be like as they continue on the path to becoming cranky old men*. The charm is that we suck. *They aren't there just yet.

This Ain't no Podcast, This Aint no Disco 05/19/2026

This Ain't no Podcast, This Aint no Disco In this very unofficial, definitely-not-planned episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB and ED explain how a perfectly good podcast episode vanished into the digital void, forcing the guys into emergency recording mode. OB walks through the chain reaction of missed downloads, baseball games, family obligations, hospital visits, and general life chaos that delayed the show—while ED questions whether any actual process exists behind the scenes at all. Along the way, ED shares the saga of his dog versus a baby bird, including the surprisingly tactical advice he got from ChatGPT to survive an angry flock of ravens. Meanwhile, OB recounts witnessing one of the most obnoxious Yankee fans ever assembled at a Mets-Yankees game, proving once again that some people treat public events like WWE auditions. Part explanation, part bonus episode, and fully Gardenhose chaos, this episode serves as the bridge between what was supposed to happen and what actually happened.

And You may Pod Yourself... Well how Did I Get Here 05/01/2026

And You may Pod Yourself... Well how Did I Get Here On this episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB and ED break down the science behind their perfectly unscientific season structure (yep—26 episodes and out) before diving headfirst into a generational showdown. From gym floors to volleyball tournaments, the guys unpack the timeless mystery of zero spatial awareness—teenagers blocking everything, phones everywhere, and the uncomfortable realization that… yeah, they probably did the same thing back in the day. Along the way, they debate etiquette, social media habits, and what it really means to be “that guy” in public spaces. Plus, OB drops a classic story from a charity sword-fighting event at the Franklin Institute that somehow turns into an accidental first-date moment you won’t see coming. Observational, relatable, and just the right amount of chaotic—tap in and drink from the hose. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/41111540

Private Pods are Watching You 04/17/2026

Private Pods are Watching You It’s the season finale of Drinking from the Gardenhose, and OB and Ed go out the only way they know how—full chaos, no filter. Ed unloads on a brutally disappointing Rutgers tour that somehow gets worse the more you hear about it, while the guys spiral into the now-infamous “camera off” incident—breaking down Zoom etiquette, questionable decisions, and why some things just don’t need to be announced out loud. Along the way, they trade family stories, react to a fan dubbing Ed the Beavis of the duo (a label he’s still processing), and lock in their game plan for an upcoming metal concert—complete with high-stakes retro t-shirt strategy. It’s messy, hilarious, and exactly the kind of send-off you’d expect. Tap in for the laughs, the takes, and one last blast from the hose this season. 🎙️🔥 /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/40906645

Podding 8 to 6 04/03/2026

Podding 8 to 6 This week on Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB and Ed bounce from the batter’s box to the body shop in an episode that proves no topic is too big—or too random—for the hose. They kick things off with a breakdown of MLB’s new strike zone and how analytics have quietly turned hitters into all-or-nothing swing machines. (Stupid AI listening to OBs youtube before the call started) From there, the conversation pivots (or just starts) into concert culture—debating whether real fans rock official tour merch or just grab the retail remix and call it a day. Then comes an all-time workplace slip-up when Ed accidentally drops a “69” instead of an “86,” launching the guys into a hilarious and slightly unhinged discussion about how certain numbers went from taboo to totally normalized. The episode wraps with real-life chaos: fender benders, repair shop limbo, tire sticker shock, and a plumbing quote situation that feels like it was cooked up in a backroom casino. It’s part vent session, part storytelling, and all Gardenhose energy. Tap in for laughs, hot takes, and the kind of conversations that somehow spiral—but always land. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/40715480

Pod! How Low can you Go. 03/23/2026

Pod! How Low can you Go. Here’s a snappy, high-energy episode description that matches the chaos and tone: OB and Ed kick things off with technical glitches and immediately spiral into everything from podcast haters to heavy metal dreams. OB embraces his role as the show’s favorite punching bag, while Ed delivers “big news” that may or may not actually be news. The guys relive decades-old stories, plan a long-overdue reunion, and seriously consider recording an episode in a parking lot before an ’80s metal concert. Add in questionable decision-making, Manhattan madness, and one all-time fraternity story that should probably stay buried—and you’ve got peak Gardenhose. Low standards, loud laughs, and absolutely no dignity. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/40573040

I Bet You Think This Pod is About You 03/06/2026

I Bet You Think This Pod is About You OB has the kind of week that turns into a country song. A flooded basement, a busted sump pump, a snowblower held together with vice grips, and a snowstorm just for good measure. In between cleanup duty, OB attends a packed funeral and helps host a repast that somehow feeds 450 people. Meanwhile Ed shares the fallout from his recent interview with Rutgers University and realizes a timeless truth of the internet: people love commenting on articles they definitely did not read. Add in broken shear pins, basement archaeology under old carpet, and the ongoing debate over where the kids might go to college, and you get another perfectly chaotic episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose.

They come Podin' Just as Fast as They Can 02/20/2026

They come Podin' Just as Fast as They Can OB’s snowblower needs pliers, Ed’s ego needs sport coats, and somehow both are working exactly as designed. This episode spins through listener feedback, Ed’s glow-up moment as a distinguished alum of Rutgers University, and OB’s surprisingly wholesome Valentine’s Day spent building Legos like a romantic engineer. Ed questions OB’s life choices, OB questions Ed’s fashion evolution, and both question the emotional stability of college basketball fans in March. From broken machinery to rebuilt reputations, it’s legacy, love, and light roasting, with just enough heart to keep the chaos properly calibrated. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/40170510

I was Podding in, he was Podding out 02/06/2026

I was Podding in, he was Podding out Ed shows up late, explains why, and somehow turns it into a driving lesson debate. OB brings hypothetical sword scenarios, Rutgers and Philly throwbacks, and just enough fraternity chaos to keep things off the rails. Toss in snowblowers, Route 73 geography, and classic Ed-vs-OB banter, and you’ve got another episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose doing what it does best—wandering confidently into nonsense. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/40015805

Don't Pod to Close to me 01/23/2026

Don't Pod to Close to me Ed and OB compare near-death experiences courtesy of black ice, sore necks, and gravity finally collecting its debt. From volleyball tournaments and overzealous rule enforcement to Gen Alpha’s baffling lack of spatial awareness, the guys vent, reflect, and try not to fall again. Toss in listener feedback, fantasy football chaos, and a surprisingly pleasant sportsbook hang, and you’ve got another episode of middle-aged survival with jokes. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/39846320

Podding in Memphis 01/09/2026

Podding in Memphis OB comes back from Memphis with barbecue opinions, concert trauma, and a run-in with punk leather “not-furries,” while Ed tries to keep the show on the rails and mostly fails. There’s a new phrase coined by OB’s son (“milking the cereal”), a coffee maker that may be too advanced for human trust, surprise sword ownership, and a family trip down memory lane that refuses to go sentimental. Add listener callouts, ad-ranting, and classic Ed vs. OB banter, and you’ve got another Gardenhose episode doing exactly what it does best: spiraling joyfully. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/39668425

We're On a Pod to Nowhere 12/26/2025

We're On a Pod to Nowhere OB IS FINALLY on Time, Ed reluctantly compliments him, and things spiral from there. The guys cover holiday procrastination, social media lies, and OB’s elaborate plan to negotiate his wife’s celebrity crushes. Plus: Ed’s Puerto Rico hoops trip, language-barrier panic, toll-road roulette, and the strange psychology of sports parents on the road. Chaos, culture, and comedy—passport not required. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/39534680

We Will Pod for Bovine Freedom 12/12/2025

We Will Pod for Bovine Freedom Ed waits… texts… waits some more… then OB finally shows up.

How Can We Pod when Our Beds are Burnin' 11/14/2025

How Can We Pod when Our Beds are Burnin' 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/39015710

Podcast is the Centerfold 11/01/2025

Podcast is the Centerfold 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/38864015

Another Pod in the Wall II 10/18/2025

Another Pod in the Wall II Ed and OB discussed the new nickname "Froggy" for OB, which he was initially upset about but eventually accepted. They also talked about the podcast's progress and the importance of having authentic nicknames. OB mentioned that he would be back to normal in two weeks, and Ed suggested that they would continue using the nickname until a more fitting one is found. Also Yes That Bastard half assed all the publishing work this week becasue of the cold. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/38628975

If she were Pod she Wouldn't Wear Much More 10/03/2025

If she were Pod she Wouldn't Wear Much More OB and Ed discussed their recent podcast activities and a listener's comment about a construction project, followed by Ed sharing details about his home improvement projects involving TVs and electrical installations. Ed then described his experience with federal grand jury duty and jury selection process, including his attempt to be excluded by disclosing a past victimization. The conversation concluded with discussions about sporting event etiquette, including seating arrangements and Ed's experiences at various games, as well as a conversation about different types of hats and their comfort features. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/38454470

There's a Hole in My Pod That Can Only be Filled 09/19/2025

There's a Hole in My Pod That Can Only be Filled 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/38273515

Won't You Pod My Neighbor 09/05/2025

Won't You Pod My Neighbor 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/38094010

Lift Six Pod, Seven Pod, Eight Pod Bunch 08/22/2025

Lift Six Pod, Seven Pod, Eight Pod Bunch 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 that we suck. Two guys. Two mics. Two questionable takes. That’s the hose, baby. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/37916005

Aurora Borealis Pods In View 08/09/2025

Aurora Borealis Pods In View 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/37740205

We Pod Short Shorts 08/01/2025

We Pod Short Shorts 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.

Understand it Better Podin' in My Shoes 07/05/2025

Understand it Better Podin' in My Shoes 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. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/37280100

We Can Pod Real Neat from Our Hats to our Feet 06/19/2025

We Can Pod Real Neat from Our Hats to our Feet It’s the VIDEO DEBUT of Your Favorite Podcast About Nothing! Ed relives his run-in with a bouncer (spoiler: there was tension), OB faces accusations of “hat fishing,” and the guys consider polling the audience to settle once and for all: is OB guilty of follicular deception? They also stumble through website updates, video woes, and potential date matches for podcast characters (yes, really). Rounding things out: a surprisingly passionate take on frozen food, outdated slang, and how not to get canceled by accident. Laughs, polls, tech fails, and questionable fashion choices—it’s all here, and now you can watch the chaos unfold.

I'm Gonna Watch You Pod 06/06/2025

I'm Gonna Watch You Pod Ed and OB get real about getting old—aching knees, mysterious braces, and the fact that nobody handed them an aging manual. They tackle everything from getting carded at bars (yes, still), to public restroom hygiene at live events, to whether younger generations are actually in better shape—or just louder about it. It’s a hilariously relatable deep dive into creaky joints and cultural shifts, with all the usual tangents you didn’t ask for but secretly love. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/36885455

I'll Show You how to Pod in the Mail Room Honey In this episode of Your Favorite Podcast About Nothing, That OB and Ed dive headfirst into podcasting mishaps, website form rage, and the glorious awkwardness of AI assistants. From questionable bathroom architecture to urinals designed for “special occasions,” no topic is off-limits. Tech troubles, toilet tales, and a passionate defense of proper handwashing—what more could you want? /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/36684625

Oh, My God, Becky, Look at Her Pod 05/09/2025

Oh, My God, Becky, Look at Her Pod In this week's episode of Drinking from the Garden Hose, Ed and OB took a deep dive into the wild world of parenting—because if there’s anything better than raising kids, it’s talking about it with a beer in hand. They covered the classics: setting rules, disciplining your little angels (or miniature anarchists, depending on the day), and swapping stories that made it clear neither of them is getting nominated for Parent of the Year anytime soon. The conversation meandered—like a loose garden hose on full blast—into current events, including the surprising revelation that Bill Belichick’s personal life is somehow newsworthy. That’s right, the hoodie-wearing mastermind of football apparently has a dating life, and Ed and OB handled this breaking news with the grace and subtlety of a toddler with a drum set. "Drinking from the Garden Hose: where parenting advice is unfiltered, unqualified, and probably needs a disclaimer." /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/36480480

Every Move You Make and Every Pod You Break 04/25/2025

Every Move You Make and Every Pod You Break In this episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB gets emotional (in his own way) as he shares the tale of a dream come true—yes, it actually happened, and no, it wasn’t about defeating a bear with a machete. Meanwhile, Ed returns from a trip to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of stories: from unexpected airplane drama to getting hot at the tables (and not in the sunburn way), plus a hilariously underwhelming attempt to recreate a nostalgic photo with his travel buddies. It’s a mix of triumph, turbulence, and questionable group posing—classic Gardenhose chaos. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/36303000

An Invisible Man Sleeping in you Pod 04/11/2025

An Invisible Man Sleeping in you Pod In this episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, Ed and OB celebrate their podcast's ongoing existence (and the fact that they still speak to each other) by diving into the world of youth sports—where the stakes are high, the snacks are overpriced, and the tournament schedules make no earthly sense. They share the highs, lows, and "why are we paying this much for parking?" moments from recent games, along with their kids’ travel quirks and MVP-worthy antics. Throw in a few restaurant rants, parenting laughs, and just enough heartfelt reflection to keep it wholesome, and you've got another classic episode full of relatable chaos and unfiltered dad energy. /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/36070630

I'm Too Sexy For my Pod 03/28/2025

I'm Too Sexy For my Pod In this episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, Ed and OB take listeners on a wild ride through their latest observations, schemes, and questionable life choices. They tackle hard-hitting topics like their grand podcast plans (which may or may not ever happen), bizarre happenings at the gym, and the fine art of car buying—aka how not to get totally ripped off. Plus, they dive into their latest fashion splurge: a wrinkle-resistant jacket so revolutionary, it might just change their lives (or at least their laundry routines). Along the way, they swap opinions, share ridiculous personal stories, and attempt to make sense of consumer trends with their signature blend of wisdom and nonsense. Buckle up—it’s a ride you don’t want to miss! /episode/index/show/drinkingfromthegardenhose/id/35903660
