I'm really hoping to make it to a rodeo when I visit Texas, I just hope I can fit everything I've planned into my time there.

I really cannot wait to visit Texas, If I could I would jump on a plane tomorrow. Where in the world would you like to visit most?
If I could jump on a plane I'd love to visit Scotland, Ireland and Wales
Taiwan or Japan again. I had a nice time in both.
With the current state of the world... the only place I wld leave Texas for wld be Florida or Cozumel, Mexico.
@jonograhamreacts I would visit the Philippines, the land of the best singers in the world, there is no arguement unless you don't know the culture. I am in the Midwest USA, love your channel and yes Texas does everything HUGE. Peace to you, your wife and kids.
I’m looking forward to my trip from the US to New Zealand later this year.
They divided their visit into 2 videos, the second is where they try all the fried goodies.
They said the pizza was doughy but it is actually full of mozzarella cheese.
The first bite was prob extra bready like when you first bite into a burrito or calzone. That said it did look pretty stuffed with a good ratio of cheese/bread.
Born and raised here a drive away from this rodeo and other amazing things Texas has to offer. Hope you have a great experience while you're here. You can spend your whole life in North Texas alone, and still be blown away by new culture and food. This area is less about the old school cowboy, and more about and mixing pot for all cultures and I am so proud to call it my home and honored you show interest. I've lived here my whole life and I've been to 1 rodeo ever when I was a little kid. That just speaks to how much there is to do. Between the never ending amazing restaurants owned by people from around the world bringing their food to the US, the sports atmosphere that's home to the most valuable sports franchise in the world several years running, and the most diverse population of happy people you will you meet, DFW is a jewel.
Actually I think this is rodeo lite. They chose the lighter side of the rodeo!..…then there's a real part that's Rodeo! God bless Texas from Florida 🔥🤟
One of the things that I learned moving to TX as a child is that the hat you wear is dependent on the time of year. The wool/felt hat are for winter and the straw hat is for spring/summer.
the first time you see a Texas Longhorn, up close and personal, you will be blown away. They are HUGH and those horns are a sight to behold.
Our biggest Rodeo is here in Houston. Plan on being in Houston on February 27, 2024 until March 17, 2024 for Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. All those friendly people working the Rodeo are all volunteers. We all feel honored to get picked to be a volunteer. You have to apply and hope to get picked to be able to be part of the volunteers. My favorite is the calf scramble, where teenagers get to Rangel a calf and drag it to a square to win a college scholarship. Loads of fun to watch kids help one another to win the scholarship.
When you come here, just bring an empty suitcase and a backpack with a couple pairs of clothes. Buy souvenir clothing here (even at a thrift store to save money) and fill up the suitcase with goodies. Just be sure to check what you aren’t allowed to bring back through customs.
PART TWO PART TWO PART TWO PART TWO! PLEASE JONO! Please do part two? I hope you feel better.
lol, will do
Jono, I'm a lifelong Californian and recently took a trip to Tennessee and drove through Texax. Yes people back there are so unbelievably friendly. It wasn't something I was used to.
Not sure where you were in California, but I've never come across unfriendly people in California or Florida or New York or anywhere really. You'll get the odd shit weasel on the street, but most people in most places are kind and friendly. Especially if you are curious about their area/culture.
@LordLOC How long ago were you in CA? They are the rudest, most self centered people in the nation.
@lw3918 I was born a raised in California. I can tell you for a fact that there are very friendly places in California. I was raised in Modesto but live in Southern California now. Even today, you could be in the front yard of your home in Modesto and people driving by would just wave at you even though you have no clue as to who they are. They are just that friendly. I have met plenty of very friendly people in Southern California as well.
@mildredpierce4506 Things have changed. I was born, raised a family and still in Bakersfield. Californians, no matter where are the rudest most self centered, self important, the world revolves around me people on the planet. And mind you Bakersfield is a red town. And it's still that way. Mexicans and blacks have shot crime through the roof. Punks think residential streets are for racing on. They've killed numerous innocent people. The valley has LA style crime now. And all of this has happened since Newsom slithered into office.
I went from Alabama to California back in '90...Texas took a whole day! Loved my time in Cali, great memories.
You have to check out this polish woman who checks out her first American rodeo. She takes you inside and you get a real vibe of it
At the small rodeo's they sell Frito pie. They split open a small bag of Frito's and spoon in chile an cheese. You can also get this at High school football games.
When you come to the U.S. and visit Texas think about taking the drive along the Gulf coast from Louisiana to northern Florida. Great seafood everywhere and lots of things to see. I absolutely love that drive.
Yeah, land in Atlanta(eat at Fox Bros BBQ), drive I-20 to Birmingham(eat at Saw's BBQ, get the pork n greens), then I-65 into Mobile(make a quick detour to Orange Beach), then get on I-10 into NOLA(just get a shrimp po boy and some beignets here, Cajun food can wait until LaFayette, better and bigger portions for less money), then I-10 to Houston*(stopping in LaFayette, LA for some great Cajun/Creole food) then on to Austin(hit up any of several great Texas BBQ joints for a beef rib, brisket and a smoked jalapeno sausage), then finally to Dallas-Ft Worth(hit up Kuby's for great German/Bavarian food and Babe's for their chicken fried steak) then fly home from there.
Sounds great!
There are some amazing bridges and swamps along that route. My family used to drive from Houston to Sarasota, FL every year. Great camping, too, if you can cope with the skeeters. (Some native peoples used to execute people by tying them to a tree overnight and letting the mosquitoes drain them out. Seriously. The anthills are likewise just as bad -- as every child in the area learns the hard way, eventually.)
The Houston Rodeo is in February. They were at the concession stands and the show pens, Each night they have a different music act. The tickets for that are sold weeks in advance. Other towns hold rodeos at different times of the year. You can find a rodeo schedule online. In Mesquite (Dallas area) they have a rodeo almost every weekend (for sure May to October). Although it is playtime for most people attending, the rodeo is for ranking in the championships and the stock show is for students to win scholarships and prize money.
Just an FYI for you...Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is usually end of February through first of March. Lots to see and do and for several days! In addition to rides and food and traditional rodeo events, there are concerts scheduled as well so it is just a huge event. I'm a Texan and live 30 mins from Houston so it's an annual thing for me and my friends and family. If you decide to come to Houston during rodeo time, feel free to reach out and I will do my best to answer questions etc.
I think you will be able to find amazing food at Texas Rodeo. It won't be a gourmet meal, but crazy good foods, yes.
Pretty much every state fair and "rodeo" etc all have incredibly awesome food around the fairgrounds. I mean I know the Texas State Fair, Minnesota State Fair and a couple others have a really tight contest every year to see what new food items get added to the fairgrounds. Best Ever Food Review (which Jono has watched before also) has done a few videos at the Texas State Fair (or it might have been the Minnesota one, I don't remember, it's the one with the buckets of cookies and what not)
15:30 man said "I'd stay there morning 'til it's finished."
Fairs, Rodeos, etc... tend to start on Thursday and end of Sunday with Friday and Saturday being the biggest days.
As a Texan we can see y’all from a mile away. So that’s why we usually give y’all advice or tips or what to try
Of all the things you mentioned, all of them are seasonal. When you are a year off, choose a span of 2 months, then work out when the most things are happening. Football is in Autumn, so you'd get some early school games, late season Rodeo, mid season seafood boil. If you do the math you can fit tons in.
It’s always entertaining seeing city slickers first time at the rodeo 😂
Congratulations on 10,000+ Subscribers!!! 100% you and the family must get a cowboy hats! They are so comfortable and practical in the western USA.
You’ll be amazed at the variety of hat styles and colors.
Texan here. If you’re coming to Texas, you will have to chose between the Rodeo and Football, because they happen at different times of the year. Rodeo is late February through mid- to late-March. Football is August (pre-season) through December. The convenient thing is, in Houston, both events occur at the same location - NRG Stadium.
Couldn't he find a high school spring training game around March? We always had them up here in NY even though it was still cold and pissing down rain.
I forgot how hot Texas Summers are that your rodeos may be early, we have Rodeo from March through early September in the NW, the big one being the Pendleton Round up in early Sept but a lot around the 4th of July.
Longhorns are amazing. My brother raises them in southern Utah. He has over 50 head of cattle! They are shockingly large.
If you want to hit Austin when the rodeo is going on-the 2024 Schedule is March 8 to March 23 (Houston’s -where Jolly went-2024 schedule is February 27 to March 17)
I grew up on a ranch. I was getting thrown from horses at age 5. Kids can take it no problem.
Come during the later part/beginning of the year when the temperature is more bearable. The Texas State Fair is held in September. It’s the world’s largest fair. There are a TON of videos on the fair on YT.
Your excitement makes me excited for your family to visit! Looking forward to watching you plan the trip, and if you ever need suggestions, glad to help! Oh, and yes, Texans are that friendly. It’s not just for a camera.. we treat everyone like that
You'll love Texas I live in the hill country, right in the center. We are about to have a solar eclipse on the 14th of October covering %90 of the sun. But next year on April 8th a total eclipse is going to happen, around 1 pm so if you make it by then you'll get to experience it being that you might be flying into Austin. Peace and love from central Texas!
This is how kids should grow up with Mutton Bustin! Let's go back to the 70's/80's and get kids more involved :)
I'm lucky I live here and get to share the rodeo experience with friends and family. If you are coming to visit, make sure you check the dates, because this only happens for like 3 weeks in the year. It's really amazing, and if you BBQ, you've got to score some tickets to the cookoff and if you love livestock, you'll definitely feel at home. A lot of the proceeds of the event go to scholarships for kids.
Also, thank you for agreeing that eating after someone is not cool. I've known my best friend for 26 years now, and in the entire time I've known her, we have never eaten anything together like these guys often do. If there is one food item, and we're sharing, we just tear it in two or pour it into two cups, and if that's not possible, you drink on the opposite side of the cup!
Born and raised in Houston and I’ve never left. You’ve got to visit the worlds largest rodeo here (february-march), catch a home game of the Cowboys up in Dallas and y’all will fall in love with how diverse and friendly we are just as much as the geography. 🍻🌮🍤😊
The actual bull riding is at sunset, they didn’t seem to stay very long because there are so many events at the rodeo they didn’t go to that’s closer to the evening.
Whoot whoot, Houston born & bred here 🤩🥳🤠🤣 FYI: football season starts in late AUG/early Sept (this may safest bet for y'all since you're traveling so far) and it tends to run thru Dec. The boots, big belt buckles, and hats are very common 'round here. If you do a road trip to LA you'll probably see longhorns on the way. When y'all are in Louisiana (LA), be certain to try boudin (from pretty much anywhere in LA) and beignets (Ben-Yays) from Cafe Du Monde! 🙌
It's funny how much in common Texas has with South Africa and Australia...even San Antonio/hill country with south France. I've always dreamed of going to South Africa.
I know everyone wants boots and a hat when they go to Texas, but then they have sticker shock. Low end decent cowboy boots start at around $200 with most being in the $300-500 range, but they can be much more depending on how well you want them made. A great cowboy hat starts around $100 but if you want top quality, you are probably spending $300-500. Its for this reason there is a very big second hand market for vintage cowboy wear where even kind of worn out boots that are 40-50 years old that you would still have to pay to be refurbished can go for $100+.
If you want top quality stuff that is actually well made in TX, you are probably spending at least $1k on great boots and a hat. That being said, you can find generic ones for far less and they will get the job done as needed, but most of that stuff is made in South America or Asia, so not exactly very Texas.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction 😂
You should checkout some videos of dock jumping/dock diving, the thing the dogs were doing, I think there’s national competition’s for it…I personally love watching it
If your trip is anywhere from Sept. 29 - Oct. 22 you need to go to Dallas and go to the State Fair of Texas. It’s the largest state fair in the country. It’s so much fun, you really should do a react video to the State Fair of Texas so you can understand the magnitude of how insanely large and cool it really is. BTW the food there you won’t believe.
I'm glad you don't have money go to Texas now. Record breaking heat wave in Texas this year.
I know that young lady meant well, and I’m a native Texan.
But, I’m pretty sure that the largest rodeo in the world is the Calgary Stampede. That’s in Canada.
If you come to the Dallas area, The State Fair of Texas runs from the end of Sep thru most of Oct
If you want to check out both a rodeo and a football game your time window is narrow, Rodeo season begins in March and ends most places in early September, football season begins at the very end of August. My suggestion is look at both the national and state level rodeos scheduled in Texas at the very end of August or start of September. I think they have a big one every year in Ft Worth. You can catch a football game everywhere, IMO the electric atmosphere is far better at major college football games such University of Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Christian, Southern Methodist, Texas Tech, University of Houston or Louisiana State University but decide and get good tickets months ahead, far harder to get good college tickets than pro. You could also check out the Texas Rangers baseball.
The best time to catch a rodeo is late February to early march in Houston Texas its a fair and rodeo it last for 20 days
You should check into state fairs for any states you go to, the fairs have lots of livestock/cultural exhibits where they're awarded ribbons. Many also will have some of the rodeo competitions and lots of food vendors.
If you want to go to the rodeo in Houston, you need to come in February or March.
There are plenty of great stores/shops to get high quality cowboy hats and boots from. We like Cavender’s. Had a friend come visit from California and he proudly flew home wearing his new cowboy hat. They can size them properly to fit you. You don’t have to just take what is on the shelf as is.
Be advised, Texas should be avoided during the summer months (June, July August). The heat and humidity is extreme.
I posted this as a reply to another commenter. My suggested itinerary would be as follows.
Come in the fall, land in Atlanta(eat at Fox Bros BBQ) stay the night to recover from jetlag, rent a car and drive I-20 to Birmingham(eat at Saw's BBQ, get the pork n greens), then take I-65 into Mobile(make a quick detour to Orange Beach, spend time on the beach here, the Gulf sands are sugar white, stay the night here, eat at a great seafood place like Zeke's or Fresh Off The Boat), next morning get on I-10 into NOLA(just get a shrimp po boy and some beignets here, Cajun food can wait until LaFayette, better and bigger portions for less money), then I-10 to Houston(stopping in LaFayette, LA for some great Cajun/Creole food), stay the night in Houston(not sure about best places to eat there, just have driven through, never stayed in Houston) then on to Austin(hit up any of several great Texas BBQ joints for a beef rib, brisket and a smoked jalapeno sausage), stay the night in Austin, check out the music scene and maybe catch a Longhorns football game(if you did not check out a LSU Tigers game in Baton Rouge on the way between New Orleans and Houston) then finally to Dallas-Ft Worth(hit up Kuby's for great German/Bavarian food and Babe's for their chicken fried steak) then fly home from there.
for a 20 day vacation I would recommend visiting Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Galveston
I know you said that y'all are not flying in to Dallas fort worth but honestly that airport itself is simply amazing to experience.
I have been going to Rodeo's since I was a kid starting with the greased pig catching at 5 all the way to bull riding in High School Rodeo Team. The Rodeo Arena it is located in the city of and is owned by a Champion Ship All Around Cowboy Donnie Gay and his Family. It is located just East of Dallas,
A things I think you and your kids would enjoy on your visit. Monster truck rally, demolition Derby and smaller town stock car race.
Gotta come in early march if you want to see the greatest rodeo in the world. Between all the stuff there is to see and do, the Houston rodeo is an all day ordeal, may need two days. But there’s no nfl football at the time.
What they have visited in this video is a typical state fair. There hasn't been any real rodeo yet. In the fall every state has a state fair showcasing livestock, agriculture and food canning and preserving. On the entertainment side you have all the carnival rides and the carnival foods. Best enjoyed at night when all the ridesare lit up and the atmosphere is magical.
No, this was the rodeo in Houston. The state fair is held in Dallas.
I really enjoy your thoughtful reactions. If you make it to the USA, I hope that you have a great time!
I'm actually going to the Houston rodeo tomorrow I live here its a big deal
If I'm correct, a lot of kids raise animals and show them at these. If they win, they can get more money when selling the animal.
Yes, you are correct. It’s called 4H club in school.
@@franciet99 I lived in Texas for 6 yrs, but my son wasn't into that. Thank you for commenting.
THAT'S A FAIR!! WHERE'S THE BULL RIDING & BRONCO BUSTING, BARREL RACING🤣
All of those events are inside NRG stadium (where the Texans attempt to play football). Jolly evidently didn’t attend the actual rodeo.
Longhorns can keep their heads up because of the size of their necks, look closely at a picture.
Sorry you are under the weather today. Glad you are feeling better now though. You will have a fantastic trip going to Texas with your family! So much fun to experience with super friendly people and fantastic food at a reasonable cost especially compared to other big cities like New York City which is so expensive! :) Texas is great for kids and the pace is slower so you do not feel rushed or in a hurry like in New York City.
I would love for you to go to that Bass Pro Shop you did a reaction to previously. I think you being an avid outdoorsman you would be in heaven at all the stock that they have in their store. Have fun in the USA, and make sure you go to Terry Black's and get you some good BBQ if you are going to Texas!
In several states high schools have rodeo teams
Rodeos are not happening all the time. They were at the Houston rodeo, which is the biggest one in Texas, but that only comes around in March every year. Other major cities have rodeos too but I’m not sure what time of year.
The Houston rodeo takes place at the end of February.
You will enjoy Texas a great deal. I worked around Texas and Louisiana 20 some years ago and it sure lives up to the fuss. Don't miss New England and our boiled dinners up here though if you get the chance
I'd be willing to help you out with your Louisiana planning. If you are wanting crawfish, know they are seasonal. Typically only farmed February through June. The price drops after easter. Also, every town has a festival based on what they are known for, so depending on when you are here, there may be something cool to visit.
The thing I really like about Jono, Jolly and Loud Guys channels is they are so respectful, complimentary of our American culture.
Can't say the same for some if the other foriegn based reaction channels that just seem to revel in subtkely nit picking, tearing down and criticizing American culture. Seems like some petty jealousy.
Meh who cares? Part of what makes americans cool is that they arent uptight like italians (mr z) or uncle roger. (i do love uncle roger tho) If you wanna slap pizza on a stick then do it. If you dont like it thats fine too, its just a novelty. We dont care if you "appropriate" our dishes or if someone doesnt like it. It comes off as disingenious sometimes because no one can be positive about everything. I actually much prefer watching the high schoolers try it because they arent as filtered/dishonest beacuse they arent risking their livelihoods if they offend someone across the planet.
@@nullakjg767 Mr. Z isn't uptight and if you can't tell he's being overdramatic for the videos, not sure what to tell you lol Plus he's hilarious most of the time, and loves American culture.
Well to be fair, there's plenty wrong with American culture that other countries can point out, without being disrespectful. I find most channels are respectful. Some are more aggressively annoyed by things, but I get that they are that way because they expect America and Americans to be this shining example of awesomeness - when we are just regular people like they are not some best in the world at everything we do people. Know what I mean?
@@LordLOC I mean he still acts exactly like you would expect an Italian to act who is sees not 100% authentic Italian food. Most people don't care that much about how other people eat. Just as he did in the other videos.
You can get boots but I wouldn’t recommend planning on wearing them all the time when you first get them cause you will have some really sore feet till you take two to three weeks to really break them in at least a good pair will take at least that long to break in
who goes to a rodeo and doesn't see bullriding, or the ladies doing their barrel racing. And not a single rodeo clown in this video. They should have just went to the State Fair.
One of the best Jolly videos
Jolly = Josh and Ollie, started out their food sharing adventures way back when, in Korea. Korean food sharing is one of the more important aspects of Korean culture, and people sharing food like that is almost a courtesy there.
I lived in Korea, I know. At first, it is hard to get used to it but then....
They didn't go to the actual rodeo. That wouldn't be until evening. What they saw was just a side show. I'm a mustard only corndog gal. We train Brittanys and do sports things. The water jump is really fun, if the dogs love it, have fun.
Here in Texas we have a pickle beer by best maid pickles. They go down so smooth!! I don't care for beer but this pickle beer is delicious.
@jonograhamreacts This BBQ place is in Austin, TX only about 45 minutes from me. It's called Terry Black's BBQ.
1) NFL football should up and playing by that time
2) Vietnamese Cajun Crayfish boil is a MUST in Houston
3) Great BBQ in Austin
4) doubt there are any rodeos at that time... but the Fort Worth Fair Grounds has there own rendition all year round
5) San Antonio has great Tex-Mex food
6) Houston also has great asian food
Over 140 languages are spoken in Houston. Well over 12K restaurants. Whatever you want to eat is available somewhere in the City. Not the most scenic City in the state but the food variety is unmatched.
I've seen the extreme dogs jumping show, and it's spectacular! Those dogs are brilliant, and should be wearing capes.
I have a Belgian Malinois Shepherd like that who has done dock diving, over 30 feet is not uncommon.
I hope you feel better. 😊
I absolutely love, love love the adorable pig 🐖 race!!! They look like my chubby cat.
I wished they had tried funnel cakes. They're so good.
I was thinking the same thing. Love those cakes!
The biggest Rodeos in Texas are in February and March...
if you want to go to a rodeo, the houston rodeo 2024 is february 27 through march 17th, it is the biggest rodeo in the world
You landing in Austin is going to be perfect if you want to end up in New Orleans. You drive from Austin to San Antonio and then from San Antonio to Houston for the rodeo which is on the way to New Orleans.
stay hydrated
Heyyyyy! Love your reactions! So genuine 😊
Just a heads-up.... good cowboy boots are not a cheap item. Baseline for a decent pair of boots is going to start at about $200 and go up from there. Good luck!
Hey man, sorry you're feeling bad. You'd need to come in the fall to catch a football game. Luckily the Texas State Fair also happens in the fall so you'd get alot of rodeo type things.
Watching this and you now have 10K subs!!
i'm not really a fan of catsup on a corndog. mustard all the way. but sometimes... on rare occasions, i will seriously crave catsup.
another thing i like on corndogs occasionally is chow-chow.
Big no-no Is touching someone elses hat. Some people pay very big money for custom built cowboy hats. You can ask them ahout it, but never reach up to touch it.
If you do come to the U.S., I think you'd enjoy going to a county or state fair.
Ketchup or Catsup in the U.S. has more tang to it than the Ketchup/Tomato Sauce I’ve had in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
On the NASA tour (Houston) they have long horns.
If you go to a college game my best suggestion is UT vs OU big rivalry and it’s during rodeo time in Dallas so you can get both at one place
... they didn't show much of the rodeo events, and never did the deep fried oreos.
Hell, they didn't even watch the rodeo. They just stuffed food in their faces.
Just remember, Texas is bigger than France. Houston and the Gulf Coast is very different than El Paso, Big Bend, and the Desert SW of West Texas, and is yet different from Dallas/Fort Worth the midwestern plains of Central Texas and Amarillo in the Panhandle. Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, and El Paso are all very different, and fairly spread out. Were i planning a trip, I would probably start in Austin and move southward, maybe trying to end in New Orleans, depending how much travelling you want, and how much time you have.
Houston has a lot to offer, but it isn't a very touristy town and a widely spaced out city, being larger and more densely populated than some entire eastern states. The coverleaf interchanges and massive highways are very impressive, but don't alleviate congestion, so unless you want extensive tours of the highway system, I might skip Houston. Time on tne highways might be better spent travelling. (The band The Grateful Dead once suggested that instead of Houston, you might as well go to New Orleans since it's relatively close and better for visitors.)
We strap our children onto sheep for sport...lol
