🎙️ Episode 5 — “Everyone Wants to Be a Cowboy Until It’s Time to Do Cowboy Sh*t”

This one starts with Bazinga and ends with a bloated cow.

Keith and Jarod rip into one of the worst shows on television, riff on electric fat and fast food existentialism, then hard-shift into what it really means to live with your hands in the dirt—and sometimes, in death.

On Memorial Day weekend, between hanging the town’s flag and hosting a birthday rally with Porsches and Kim K trucks, Keith gets the kind of phone call that changes your day: "We got a cow down."
What follows is a visceral meditation on life, loss, and what happens when the romanticized cowboy myth runs face-first into the real thing.

Also:
• David Crosby delivers fatherly wisdom over coffee
• The anatomy of a proper Memorial Day flag ceremony
• The sacred smell of rust, iron, and what never leaves you

It’s brutal.
It’s beautiful.
It’s cowboy sh*t.

Keith Saarloos and Jarod DeAnda are back in the arena—swinging hammers, burying fugazis, and preaching the analog gospel to a world that forgot how to get its hands dirty. This episode’s got it all: wine, Hot Wheels, AI, ADHD, golf, beef, joy, generational trauma, and why your grass isn’t greener—it's just neglected. They talk about being dads, being dudes, being fountains not drains, and why building something real means bleeding for it. No safe spaces. No branding decks. Just two friends punching the modern world in the face with hope. If you’ve ever screamed into the void and then picked up a shovel anyway—this one’s for you. You’re the Beast.

"GLUTTONY: Diners, Disney, Death Row Meals & Dole Whips"

In this episode, Keith and Jarod dive headfirst into the theme of gluttony—but not the shameful kind. The good kind. The earned kind. The kind where you live a little louder, eat a little better, and squeeze every last drop out of life.

From California diners to Florida theme parks, this is a cross-country meditation on indulgence, contentment, and what it means to really enjoy yourself. Jarod breaks down a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Walt Disney World to visit his son Parker, who's deep in the Disney College Program. With insider access to Club 33, and hospitality from the unmatched Brian and Tommy, the trip was packed with magic, meaning, and yes... blue noodles.

Keith, on the other hand, stayed behind and did what any self-respecting man with the house to himself does: went on a full-blown solo bender. Golf. Groceries. A Jordan Sandwich from El Rancho. A pint of McConnell’s Sweet Cream. Chips. Salsa. A trip to American Host diner in Lompoc with Chris Parker that may have broken the Saarloos Diner Index.

They compare death row meals (fried chicken & waffles vs. crab cake eggs Benedict), explore the architecture of the perfect waffle, and break down the emotional strategy of Disney fireworks.

Along the way, you’ll hear:

• The origin story of Keith’s face on a South Park ice cream flavor

• Why Dole Whips in Florida ≠ Dole Whips in California

• How Brian saved the churro line at Disneyland (true story)

• What it feels like to be a guest in a place run by people who make everything better

And somewhere in the middle of it all, you'll realize—this isn’t really about food, or even Disney. It’s about knowing when to put your phone down, lean back in the booth, take a bite, and say, “Man, that was perfect.”
