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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
