    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We Will Pod for Bovine Freedom

    Ed waits… texts… waits some more… then OB finally shows up. From there it's driving lessons from hell, holiday chaos, and a full-on investigation into whether cow tipping ever existed. Curbs are clipped, myths are busted, and Gen X parenting is on full display. Hit gardenhose.vercel.app for extras and to join the conversation.
