[@monicaalvarez5696]

As a city girl in the US, even I find it somewhat normal to watch country kids try to ride a lamb like a wild bull. I watch a lot of vet shows and county fairs, like this huge one in TX are the highlight of a lot of kids hard work all year prepping for the fair. It’s a way of life for them!

[@jenniferbrdar4605]

I'm a farm kid still at heart and I still judge and show livestock, it's a good activity to do with family. I used to work hours with my dad to get our market hogs, lambs and meat rabbits ready for the show.

Now that you guys have had true Texas barbecue, been to Buc-ee's and now the Houston Rodeo, I think you've earned the status of honorary Texans. Glad you've enjoyed a little bit of what this great state has to offer.

I stumbled upon this today and I want to thank you! I moved away from Houston a couple years ago (after living there 18 years). This video took me home and I loved every minute of it. I didn't even know how much I missed it (Houston). Funny thing about Rodeo is that as big as it is, I always ran into friends and coworkers each time I went. Believe it or not, this is a little bit of small-town America. :)

[@marlenabenson]

I have one problem with your videos...they're not long enough! I would love to see even more content about your experiences, it's just so fun to watch you two. My face hurts from smiling and laughing after watching you, and more of that would be most welcome. Love you two!

[@annapurnataylor4234]

I love this. I grew up in a cattle town and rodeos are an annual event that is normal (and slightly repetitive after 19 years of them) so it is great to see someone elses' perspective on our traditions. Thanks yall for the great videos and the laughter!

[@austinbaker7130]

As a Texan, I am so happy the Jolly team got to enjoy the best things in Texas. I only wish more Jolly fans could have met y’all. I hope you had a great time and come back again. Maybe next time y’all can try some crawfish.

I live in the Texas panhandle (Amarillo) and every year we have a rodeo @ the XIT Ranch near Dalhart. They have the worlds largest free barbecue (approx 10,000 lbs of brisket cooked in ground pits (buried) and served with all the sides. Its a huge event every year.

Fort Worth here and glad you guys got to experience the stock show and rodeo. Fried alligator tail is good, funnel cakes are so good, and mutton bustin is like youth soccer around here. These are tough kids, the ropers-riders-bronc busters-bull riders-and rodeo clowns are some of the hardest working people (salt of the earth good people) you will meet. Glad you guys enjoyed your experience!

[@curtisa3069]

These things that they're eating and doing don't seem extraordinary, however most of the things they are eating and doing at this "rodeo" are unlike any rodeo I've been to. Actually most of the stuff I've never had nor seen in 50+ years of living in Texas, but then again, I've never been to the state fair nor the Houston rodeo.

[@codyknight8183]

Thanks for your video, as a native Houstonian, I've enjoyed our rodeo many times, so its great to see folks where its literally their "1st Rodeo" LOL. Glad ya'll had fun!!!

What I love about these two as I watch them travel around America is their genuine enthusiasm. They love to meet people and immerse themselves in the culture. They don’t make fun of people or buy into stereotypes. I love that.

[@coraleemacias7307]

As a Texan, I love this! I can’t wait for the next episode… Next up y’all should visit the Texas State Fair in Dallas! It’s usually in September/ October and is the biggest Fair in America! They’ve got so many cooking contests and vendors debut new foods each year!

I’m glad they teased the fried Oreo at the end because I kept waiting the entire episode for them to try it.

[@iretsia5275]

You're more spot on than you know when you say it's better than Coachella. A lot of the pro rodeos (because yes, it's a professional sport some people make a career from) in the major cities (at least the ones in Texas) end the night with a concert that's included in the cost of your ticket to the rodeo events. I've seen some huge name acts after hours of rodeo fun, all from $30 seats.

[@stephaniewatson7956]

I am from Houston and this is one of the biggest rodeos in the world. I am so glad you were able to go and enjoy the food, carnival and the livestock show and rodeo experience.
