Cowboy Coffee Hour with Cowboy Kent and Shannon Rollins

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.Thank you to our sponsors!Thank you to Poncho!Get $10 off your first order at http://www.ponchooutdoors.com/cowboycoffeehour when you enter your email.Thank you to Factor!Let’s eat real.

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.Thank you to our sponsors!Get 15% off OneSkin with the code COWBOYKENT at https://www.oneskin.co/COWBOYKENT#oneskinpodGet 40% off select Lola Blankets products at http://www.lolablankets.com by using code COWBOYKENT atcheckout.

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.

I never wanted to be on TV. I just wanted to cook for cowboys. But one phone call, while on a ranch, changed all of that. This is how I went from a cowboy ranch cook, to cooking on national TV. I was standing in a pasture in North Texas when a car pulled up mid-shot and Bobby Flay walks right into my scene. I didn't know who he was. Didn't know he was coming. All I knew was my wood stove was loaded, it was 95 degrees, and we were about to find out how tough Bobby Flay really was.WATCH or LISTEN:https://pionairepodcasting.com/cowboycoffeehour/FOLLOW US:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cowboykentrollinsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cowboykentrollins/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cowboykentofficial?lang=enIf you are interested in advertising on this podcast email [email protected] request Kent and Shannon to be on your Podcast, Radio Show, or TV Show, reach out to [email protected]
