The Episode About Cowboys
The Mystique of the Cowboy
Grab your hat and saddle your hoss, it’s time to talk cowboys. Dave and Neil discuss cowboy songs, cowboy movies, cowboy costumes, cowboys on the moon, and our general confusion about what a cowboy is. Does The Joker by Steve Miller Band qualify as a cowboy song? Is there a right reason to open a brothel? Who are the modern cowboys? Find out that and more this week on Planet of the Meerkats.
