Listen Now! Jackie Chan. Matthew McConaughey… and more! In this episode, we count down the most interesting people they've ever met: Hollywood names like Stanley Tucci, a rodeo legend who rode a bull no one else could, and spiritual leaders who left a mark on our lives. Fame didn't make any of them interesting. What did was the one moment we never saw coming.

Days after our house burned down, a Nebraska ranch family took us in. Months later, their ranch was hit by what's widely called the largest wildfire in Nebraska's history. We went back to Circle L Ranch to cook, to film, and to try to give something back. What we found, and what happened at the benefit dinner that raised over $20,000, is a story about what it means to show up when it matters most.

Listen Now!  I wondered what that meant for my livelihood and the life I knew. Shannon and I revisit the heat stroke that changed how we work, the demands of cooking over an open fire, and the days we’ve faced everything from scorching heat to bitter cold at the chuck wagon.

Listen Now! We venture deeper into the beliefs that traveled across the American frontier. From ominous owl calls and the legendary La Lechuza of South Texas to Irish fairies, and even military taboos. These stories reveal how Native, Tejano, Irish, and military traditions helped shape the superstitious world of the American West.

Listen Now! We’re going behind the scenes of our time on NBC’s Food Fighters. Kent relives two intense cooking battles from Season 1—from turning a chaotic raspberry soufflé challenge into a cowboy masterpiece to facing a food blogger over chorizo tacos. We share untold stories from the set, to the contestants, and why winning a television cooking competition doesn’t always feel like a victory.

Listen Now! When a brutal winter storm puts a herd of cattle at risk, I faced a choice: turn back or keep going into dangerous conditions because something living is depending on him. In this true ranch story, we explore winter cattle feeding, fear and survival, hard-earned ranch knowledge, and the cowboy code that teaches responsibility when no one is watching. It’s a conversation about courage versus recklessness, caring for livestock,  and faith under pressure.

Listen Now! Why are handwritten letters, vinyl records, film cameras, flip phones, and other old-fashioned traditions making a comeback in our digital world? Inspired by the love letters and cards Kent has written Shannon over the years, this episode explores the growing analog revival, digital burnout, dying traditions, and the value of slowing down. Kent and Shannon discuss why a handwritten message carries more weight than a text, what men often leave unsaid, and what are the values and family traditions that are still worth preserving. It’s an honest conversation about love, legacy, human connection, and what we lost when everything became faster and more convenient.

Listen Now! Why are some of the toughest, most practical people also deeply superstitious? In this episode, we explore the strange cowboy superstitions and traditions that survived the Old West, from never placing a cowboy hat on a bed to death omens, haunted cattle trails, animal signs, weather lore and unusual rodeo rituals. We also uncover the legend of a famous Texas stampede and if it’s ghosts still wander the plains.

Listen Now! After nearly 15 years of marriage, we’re sharing the truth about working with your spouse and building a business together 24/7! We talk honestly about balancing marriage and business, dividing responsibilities, resolving disagreements, and knowing when your spouse needs a business partner, or simply a spouse. Would we build a business together again? Do we recommend working with your husband or wife? We’re sharing the marriage lessons, business-partnership advice, and hard-earned relationship wisdom we’ve learned along the way.

Listen Now! Buckles are more than something a cowboy wears, they come with stories! We’re sharing the funny, frustrating, and meaningful stories behind the buckles we’ve won, from Kent’s first bull-riding buckle at 11 years old to the one he should have won and Shannon’s first chuck wagon competition buckle. We also dive into behind the scenes of the curious cowboy and rodeo culture, unwritten rules, competition, buckle bunnies, and how the meaning of a buckle has changed over the years.

Listen Now! Cowboy coffee has always been about more than what’s in the cup. We’re digging into the history of cowboy coffee, what people get wrong about making it, and why coffee was such an important part of life around the chuck wagon. We also look back at the simple cowboy coffee video that reached more than 6.7 million people and became an unexpected part of our story. From cowboys and Arbuckles’ coffee to today’s coffee-shop culture, why do generations keep gathering around a cup of coffee? And what does the phrase “let’s have coffee” really mean?

Have we forgotten how to fix things—or have we forgotten how to figure things out? Shannon and I talk about the practical skills that used to be passed down from generation to generation, from changing a flat tire and starting a fire to fixing whatever broke at the chuck wagon. But this conversation goes beyond practical know-how. We talk about problem-solving, self-reliance, faith, marriage, attitude, and what to do when the thing that needs fixing is something in your own life. Sometimes you don’t need to know the answer—you just need to be willing to figure it out.
