About this listen

Picture this: Two guys, full throttle through life, with mutual friends asking, "How do you NOT know each other?" Enter fate. We became Instagram pen pals (yes, that’s a thing), met in person, and instantly knew—we'd either be best friends or end up murdering each other. Jury’s still out. We talk. A lot. Cars, wine, chaos, bad decisions—you name it. Every call ends with: "That should’ve been a podcast." So now? THIS CALL IS BEING RECORDED. Welcome to You're the Beast—no seatbelts, no scripts, just glorious nonsense. Buckle up.Jarod DeAnda - The DeAnderthal + Keith Saarloos - The Grape Ape

  • No Sweet Spot, No Seatbelts, Just Fountains and Dirt
    May 9 2025

    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.

  • The Gluttony Episode: Disney, Diners & Death Row Meals
    Apr 1 2025

    "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.”

    You're the Beast – Episode 2: “International Waters & Customer Service” 🌏✈️

    In this globe-trotting episode, Keith checks in from Sydney Airport while Jarod preps for Mad Mike’s Summer Bash in Queenstown, New Zealand – where drift cars literally whip around a moving bus. We talk international adventures, childhood vending machines, customer service wins (and woes), the art of crafting your life, and why traveling like you’re 12 is the best way to go.

    From $100 Dutch haircuts to Qantas lounge massages and Heineken Zeros in the sky, this one’s a travelogue with soul. Keith shares why Amsterdam stole his heart (and introduced him to the holy grail of stroopwafels), and Jarod gets crowned a "bear trap" for always scoring free drinks on planes and in gay bars alike.

    We hit Alaska’s Midnight Baseball Games, the terrifying glory of Denali, and ask the ultimate question: who gives the best customer service in the world? (Spoiler: In-N-Out wins.)

    Grab your passport, put 20 bucks on the counter, and get ready to fly economy with VIP vibes.
    This is Episode 2. This is You're the Beast.
