@@karlsmith2570 It will be 100F this week in Dallas. Definitely want to wear a straw hat this time of year unless you really want to fry an egg on your head.
That lemonade is so fucking good! They just squeeze lemons add water and a ton of sugar, but it’s so thirst quenching on a hot day at the fair. I’m salivating thinking about it.
Where is this? Is it the Texas state fair? Do they have rodeos every day or are the events all spread out like they showed here, with roping in one tent, broncs in another, etc? I've definitely got to go!!
@@Elevatedzebra96 Thank you. It looks like the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I looked up different rodeo events and that looked the most like what they attended.
It is absolutely huge there. At the most recent one (this Spring) that they (JOLLY) showed in the video, the daily pass was $20 to get in. There was also a full "season" pass (the entire duration of the event which is about 3 weeks) for $50 that included some bonuses like getting into a multi-day BBQ competition that happens in the days before the rodeo starts, and the competition is one of the most serious in the country with plenty of world-class BBQ you can buy and sample. The Texas Rodeo had 2.49 million people attend. They have shows/contests for basically every variety of Texas farm animal. Events for cowboys and cowgirls like the mutton busting you saw all the way on up to grown men riding 2,000+ pound (900+ kg) bulls where death, or at least severe bodily harm, is a very much a possible reality. They have lots of carnival/theme park style rides (some do cost extra). They are an ancillary part but it is like a small amusement park worth of extra rides and games mixed in with everything else. Tons of food stalls, and it is difficult for the food vendors to get accepted. They have really high standards for quality and originality. Food stalls can make as much during the 3-ish weeks as a good restaurant might make in an entire year, so it attracts the best of the best. Between the 2 videos JOLLY did, they showed a small amount of what was available. There are educational tours to learn about animals and agriculture, you can watch animals being born, pony rides for kids who aren't quite up for mutton busting competitions, real livestock auctions you can sit in on and watch, competitions with prizes that can be over a half-million USD, a very serious multi-million dollar Wine competition/auction that draws a serious International crowd, and plenty more you could add to the list. It is absolutely massive and, for the price of a cheap steak for an entire day, it is an absolutely huge event with so much going on. They don't even stop daily ticket sales at the gate until 9pm because there is plenty that happens after dark. Between this and the other video JOLLY did, you aren't even close to seeing how big it is or how much goes on over the entire duration of it.
When Josh said “it feels huge, like i might topple over” about the cowboy hats…in texas we would say that we might “Tump” over….. my fellow Texans/ Southerners….am I right?
To answer a question: you pay a fee to enter either the livestock show and carnival, or the rodeo, which includes the livestock show, carnival, rodeo events and an evening concert. Rides are based on a ticket system that you purchase separately. There is also a huge market as well as all the food stalls. Oh, and state fair-like competitions for art, quilts, etc.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but before the rodeo there is the trail ride where animals are moved through the streets to enter the rodeo grounds. Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S. so you can imagine the annual trail ride is quite a spectacle.
In most parts of the country it is "ROW-DEE-OH", but where I grew up (in California) there is a heavy Mexican/Spanish influence. In a nearby city called Salinas, they hold an annual rodeo, but it is pronounced the Spanish way, "ROW-DAY-OH". It is the same as the world famous street of exclusive high end designer stores called Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills - Los Angeles, CA. Yes, you are correct about parking your car & then having to take a "tram" as we call it, to the actually arena or park where the event is being held (such as a concert, rodeo, sports games, & big amusement parks like Disneyland). Corndogs are hot dogs (regular size or "foot long") that is dipped in a thick cornmeal batter & then deep fried until it is golden brown. Sometimes the batter is sweetened with honey - delicious! You can buy frozen corndogs that are baked in the oven, but don't microwave it or else it comes out soft & soggy. It has to have that slight crispy crunch when you bite into it.
Houston Rodeo starts at the end of February and last through much of March (dates vary). It can be warm, but it’s not extremely hot at that time of year.
FLORIDA MAN HERE! I have had the privilege of trying alligator a couple of times in my life. If I understand it, there's quite a few ways to prepare it, but the times I've tried it were in the form of a meaty hush-puppy-style appetizer called "gator balls" (no, not THOSE kinds of balls (get your head out of the gutter)). That being said, the meat from the tail and the jaw can be immediately cooked into pretty much any dish.
Gator balls rocky mountain oysters, potato, potato. Wait that doesn't work in print lol. Would it be bad taste to say my wife has eaten a pigs balls. I haven't. I try but I get cramps. I am losing weight though. LOL wow you started it. The head meat jaw? Never mind! 😂
Also it sounds like you would really like "supreme pizza" Its got bacon, pepperoni slices, red and green bell pepper, red onion, black olives, mozzarella, Parmesan, and basil. Its delicious
Gator tastes like chicken UNLESS you dont trim it properly & then it tastes fishy A corndog is a hot dog dipped in CORNBREAD type batter then fried. My favorite part is when Josh asks the dumbest question & gets the smartass answer 😂 I'll take a fried Snickers over an oreo ANY DAY! 😋
a rodeo was originally a way for wranglers to compete in the skills needed to do there job Bareback/Bronc Riding = horse braking (getting new horses used to someone riding them) Wrestling/Roping = catch a runaway animal Barrel Racing = how well you can rid a horse
Corn dogs are so good because it's corn batter. So it's like fried cornbread wrapped around a hot dog. I personally prefer only mustard on my corn dogs. Ketchup is too sweet. To me, it's for little kids. It smothers the taste of things instead of enhancing it. I had no idea about toddlers riding rodeo sheep! Where I live, that would constitute child abuse.🤣 Only in Texas! My favorite pizza is by Clover Leaf. It's regular bacon, pineapple and onion.
Hi, Kabir! The original Spanish pronunciation is roh-DAY-oh, which translates into English as "round-up," when ranchers and cowboys in northern Mexico and western America would gather up their herds for branding, selling, etc. That gathering later came to include the cowboys showing off their prowess at skills used in their everyday work, such as roping livestock and fast-training horses by just climbing on a half-wild horse and hanging on until the horse got tired of bucking. Americans have since anglicized the pronunciation into ROH-dee-oh, and competitions have been added that have some basis in actual ranch work (such as barrel-racing, derived partly from showing the skills of riding a sharply-turning horse to separate a cow from its herd) or none at all (for example, no real ranch work has ever required a cowboy to ride a bull.) Many other words used by Spanish cowboys have been anglicized into English as well, such as "la reata" into "lariat" (the loop of rope that you twirl and throw around a horse or cow to catch it) and "ten galon" hat (one made with ten braids -- "galons" -- above its brim) into "ten gallon" hat (coined by folks who obviously didn't understand Spanish!)
Mr. Z is an Italian chef and friend of Josh and Ollie. They've gone to Italy a couple times now I think and Mr. Z is always showing them the places to go and what not and when Mr. Z visits the UK they do like "The UK's BEST Frozen Pizza" or something, which obviously is horrendously bad lol and hilarious to watch Mr. Z react to that stuff. He's really funny. He MIGHT have his own TH-cam channel, I'm not sure. But he is a "celebrity" chef I suppose, so probably.
Depends on what part of the alligator you are eating. The tail is the most "chicken-ish" part. The younger the better. Plus the way it is prepared. I've had some that was fine and some were a little too tough and stringy.
I'm from Houston where they are. So the turkey leg is actually an emu leg most of the time. Turkeys are not that big. The rides, you buy tickets and each ride costs a number of tickets. We would get a day off of school to go.
The pickle pizza won first prize for best new food on a stick this year Corn dogs are hot dogs dipped in cornmeal batter & deep fried The drink was either a 2 liter or 64 ounce/2 quart container which is roughly a half gallon (depending on whether it was liters or quarts/ounces)
Depending on which rodeo it is (it could be a finals championship, a bull riding event, or part of a "stock show"), there could be 1,000 to 100,000 people there. So, yeah, they have to set up shuttle service. Ive seen the cheese wheel rolling. Its pretty cool! Pizza: pepperoni, onions and green peppers. I did try a "thài" pizzà once that was amaziñg.
We try to go every year to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. They have everything there--food, shopping, the Ag-venture barn, the Midway rides, the rodeo events, the exhibits, the entertainment during the days and the nights. The agricultural events change every day and the concerts are top-notch. They have everything from country, rock, Latino, R&B, hip hop, to Christian pop. It starts at the end of February and goes for about three weeks in March. You pay to get in--the exhibits and shows like the pig races, mutton bustin', and daytime rodeo events are included in that price, then if you want to ride the rides on the Midway, you pay for tickets to ride. The concerts at night cost extra ($$$) and take place in the NRG Stadium after the main event rodeo. No two days are alike, so if you want to see a particular event, you have to do your research and go on that particular day. Like my two things are the sheep herding dog contests and the llama showings. We used to have a border collie whose brother was the number one border collie in the U.S. Our dog totally missed out on the herding instinct; he was a couch potato. We still like to see the herding contests (like in the movie Babe). For a while, we also seriously considered raising llamas or alpacas so we would go to every llama event at the Rodeo. I highly recommend visiting.
I live about 150 miles from Houston, and have been to a number of events at the NRG center, just never the Rodeo there. Yes there are a handful of hotels within 10-15 minute walking distance, including one Holiday Inn that connects to the edge of the NRG center parking lot.
Hey Kabir, the cheese rolling done on Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, they show that in the US every year. I remember the 1st time I saw it on American tv was about 30 years ago.
Actually the BBQ cook off is the place to be the weekend before the Houston Rodeo, but it is part of the rodeo. The Houston Rodeo is a big festival and rodeo. Most people go to the concerts. It's a scholarship fundraiser for kids that want to go into agriculture. Fried alligator is kind of like chicken, but with a bit of a swampiness, if that makes sense. I like it. I haven't had it at a festival or rodeo, but at a restaurant.
Kabir they showed a tiny bit of what's available. The building shown in the intro with the NRG logo is where they hold concerts daily. You can purchase tickets for grounds admission or a concert ticket which includes grounds admission and actually rodeo event. San Antonio Rodeo is the same. If you venture to either let us Texas fans of yours know so we can meet up
Corn dog has corn meal dough fried around a hotdog. Pronto-pup (in Minnesota) has like a pancake dough fried around a hotdog or sausage (I prefer sausage with corn meal dough with mustard)
Mostly you pay to get in, buy tickets and each is equal 1.00 and so for example for ride it cost 3.00 than you give 3 tickets per person. And food varies. But you can go to all rodeo events for no cost
The first one. I liked the black hat on Josh. It's like a hot dog wiener, I only put mustard in mine. Some like just ketchup some mayo or a combo of flavors.We have the Fort Worth Stockshow here. You pay to enter then you buy tickets that you use to buy food or pay for rides. I wish they had tried funnel cakes, it's a must.
That's a pretty good guess. Wild alligator tastes like chicken with a slightly fishy taste in the background. Farm raised gators don't have much of a fishy taste at all. I like them both. It just depends on your taste. Some of my friends don't like fish for instance.
Im fascinated by cultures. My son is in Scotland. He szys they dont have summer, just a not cold winter. We asked or said . So pools are not a big thing huh? He said no they have an ocean and they swim in it! And a friend in Australia is still trying to get used to lamb.
I have always had fried alligator, it tastes kinda in-between chicken and pork and dipped in salt water. It's kinda hard to explain but it's very good.
The event is “roe dee oh”. The expensive street in Beverly Hills is “roe day oh” and there was a street in Los Angeles also pronounced “roe dee oh” and they are all spelled rodeo.
Kabir, re. pronunciation of the "R" word, it depends on whether you pronounce it the Spanish way (row-DAY-oh), or Anglicize it (ROW-dee-oh). Several years ago when I spent part of my road trip in Florida, I was driving across the Everglades, and came upon a Seminole roadside restaurant, where I tried some fried alligator bites, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that they were so good. If it's anything like county and state fairs here, you pay an entry fee, then for all the food and rides as well. You might say--they catch you coming and going. The first rodeo event, at around 8:05 was calf roping. My guess is that, after eating like they did this day, they won't need to eat again for a week.
Aligator tastes alot like pork. The corndog is dipped in batter but its like a cornbread batter.. people dont know its actually an emu leg not a turkey leg. But they are seriously tasty Ive seen the cheese rolling and yeah i find it a bit strange but if i visited the UK id love to see it. You havent lived until youve tried a chicken bacon alfredo pizza
Been to Houston Rodeo so many times. Yes its pronounced rode e oh. The actual rodeo is a blast, bull riding, calf roping, bronc riding and so much more. I've gone 2 or 3 days in a week just to do everything. I would never eat all that fried food I'd be so sick
Pickles on a pizza is fantastic, but it has to be the right toppings. It works far better with chicken or ground beef than it does with pepperoni and sausage.
1. Ro-dee-o. 2. Yes, a rodeo involves bull riding, calf roping, bronc riding etc. this video doesn’t show the actual event. They visited the fair and livestock show. 3. The Houston Rodeo last 3 weeks and provides millions of $ in education scholarships.
It's RO DEE O - now in Beverly Hills - it's RO DAY O Drive - where all the high end stores are! (Where Pretty Woman shopped lol) Kabir -- that was a sheared sheep! lol Pigs are VERY smart! Yes, rolling cheese -- weird! Who could eat that much cheese??!! These kids don't get hurt - they are well padded and they do it at home for practice -- the little was crying most likely because he fell off . . .
In Spanish it's roDAYoh. In American English it's ROWdeeoh. It is derived from competitions the Mexican Vaquero's used to do. This spread to their Anglo counterparts in the SW, and voila it's a thing. This is why there's no rodeo tradition in Europe. Well that and your farms aren't' measured in square miles either.... Note that there is no "Texas Rodeo" per se. This is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Brits fixate on TX for some reason, but rodeos are held in almost every county the South, Midwest and of course in the West. There is one held every year in Madison Square Garden in NYC. It's also not the largest: The Calgary Stampede and the National Finals Rodeo in LV are probably larger. OBTW, "Howdy" is going out of common usage unless someone is deliberately trying to be folksy and "country". "Pardner" is almost completely gone from usage. Speaking of usage, "not my first rodeo" IS in common usage as in not my first time/not a complete noob. Also, "not my first county/state fair" -same meaning.
You should 100% visit Houston for the rodeo. I've lived in HTX my whole life and it is something you will not regret. The food they ate was literally just the tip of the iceberg. It's a month and a half long event. There are concerts everyday with major Artists, gun shows, car shows, Carnival and don't forget you would also party in the city after the carnival. Yeah it's pretty freaking insane. Thick women in daisy dukes & cowboy hats everywhere. 😂
Corndog=hot dog on a stick dipped in cornmeal batter and deep fried. Great for fairs, ballparks, and feeding kids. Hotdogs can be called frankfurters, franks and sometimes wieners or dogs (but not wiener dogs*) but we don’t think of them as sausages. Or rather they’re in the “oh,yeah I guess they are technically sausages” space. * those are dachshunds, which we do not pronounce dash hound.
PART TWO! PART TWO! PART TWO! PLEASE DO PART TWO! PLEASE KABIR!
Hey Kabir! A Corndog is essentially a cooked hotdog encased in a cornmeal batter which is then deep fried until it's a beautiful and delectable golden brown. I myself prefer just mustard on my corndogs.
P.S. That wasn't a goat or a dog. It was a sheep with all its wool shorn off. 🐑✂️
yeah it's the best way

I personally think that the black cowboy hat looks better on Josh than the one he'd picked
Us cowboys often wear straw hats in the summer and our felt hats in the winter. The straw hats are lighter and more breathable

It's a scholarship fundraiser for kids that want to go into agriculture. Fried alligator is kind of like chicken, but with a bit of a swampiness, if that makes sense. I like it. I haven't had it at a festival or rodeo, but at a restaurant.
Rodeo - rode-e-o is where they went. Roe-day-o is a place where there are shops in Beverly Hills California - Rodeo Drive. :)
Alligator actually tastes like a cross between chicken and pork. With the texture of calamari. I like it.
Kabir they showed a tiny bit of what's available. The building shown in the intro with the NRG logo is where they hold concerts daily. You can purchase tickets for grounds admission or a concert ticket which includes grounds admission and actually rodeo event. San Antonio Rodeo is the same. If you venture to either let us Texas fans of yours know so we can meet up
Corn dog has corn meal dough fried around a hotdog. Pronto-pup (in Minnesota) has like a pancake dough fried around a hotdog or sausage (I prefer sausage with corn meal dough with mustard)
That place is so huge they have shuttle buses to ferry you from the parking lot to the entrance.
Chicken, Green (bell) pepper, and onion. On a thin crust.
Pepperoni, mushroom, black olives. On a cauliflower thin crust.
Yes basically a corndog is a hotdog or frankfurter dipped in a cornmeal batter and then deep-fried.
Onions, Green Pepper, and then meat(Pepperoni, Bacon, or Sausage) is my favorite pizza. Also love some Ricotta on there.
Mostly you pay to get in, buy tickets and each is equal 1.00 and so for example for ride it cost 3.00 than you give 3 tickets per person. And food varies. But you can go to all rodeo events for no cost
As always, I LUV your reactions. The little things that are noticed..... 😅❤
The first one. I liked the black hat on Josh. It's like a hot dog wiener, I only put mustard in mine. Some like just ketchup some mayo or a combo of flavors.We have the Fort Worth Stockshow here. You pay to enter then you buy tickets that you use to buy food or pay for rides. I wish they had tried funnel cakes, it's a must.
Pigs are way smarter than a two year old. Honestly! Awesome pets. But you have to be smarter than they are!
Someone has probably already pointed this out, but “not my first rodeo” is an expression in the US. It means, “I’m not some naive newbie.”
That's a pretty good guess. Wild alligator tastes like chicken with a slightly fishy taste in the background. Farm raised gators don't have much of a fishy taste at all. I like them both. It just depends on your taste. Some of my friends don't like fish for instance.
Hi Kabir! I get turkey legs at Renaissance fairs. The meat looks and tastes like ham. It has a definate smoked flavor.
Im fascinated by cultures. My son is in Scotland. He szys they dont have summer, just a not cold winter.
We asked or said . So pools are not a big thing huh? He said no they have an ocean and they swim in it!
And a friend in Australia is still trying to get used to lamb.
I have always had fried alligator, it tastes kinda in-between chicken and pork and dipped in salt water.
It's kinda hard to explain but it's very good.
Canadian bacon, banana peppers, and basil
The event is “roe dee oh”. The expensive street in Beverly Hills is “roe day oh” and there was a street in Los Angeles also pronounced “roe dee oh” and they are all spelled rodeo.
Kabir, re. pronunciation of the "R" word, it depends on whether you pronounce it the Spanish way (row-DAY-oh), or Anglicize it (ROW-dee-oh).
Several years ago when I spent part of my road trip in Florida, I was driving across the Everglades, and came upon a Seminole roadside restaurant, where I tried some fried alligator bites, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that they were so good.
If it's anything like county and state fairs here, you pay an entry fee, then for all the food and rides as well. You might say--they catch you coming and going.
The first rodeo event, at around 8:05 was calf roping.
My guess is that, after eating like they did this day, they won't need to eat again for a week.
You have to watch the Jolly guys trip in Italy with Mr. Z, they're so funny together 😂
That drink looked like it was probably a half gallon. Remember, a US gallon is about 20% smaller than a UK gallon.
Aligator tastes alot like pork. The corndog is dipped in batter but its like a cornbread batter.. people dont know its actually an emu leg not a turkey leg. But they are seriously tasty
Ive seen the cheese rolling and yeah i find it a bit strange but if i visited the UK id love to see it.
You havent lived until youve tried a chicken bacon alfredo pizza
Alligator is delicious, especially Cajun style fried alligator.
Been to Houston Rodeo so many times. Yes its pronounced rode e oh. The actual rodeo is a blast, bull riding, calf roping, bronc riding and so much more. I've gone 2 or 3 days in a week just to do everything. I would never eat all that fried food I'd be so sick
Rodeo (ro dee o) is the North American mispronunciation of the Spanish word rodeo (ro day o) which means a roundabout.
Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is pronounced that way
I've seen vids of the cheese roll. People break limbs going down that hill.
Yeah, different cowboy events
Pickles on a pizza is fantastic, but it has to be the right toppings. It works far better with chicken or ground beef than it does with pepperoni and sausage.
This is part one. They try deep fried Oreo and other stuff.
Alligator is like tough chicken. I have eaten it in NY and Florida.
1. Ro-dee-o. 2. Yes, a rodeo involves bull riding, calf roping, bronc riding etc. this video doesn’t show the actual event. They visited the fair and livestock show. 3. The Houston Rodeo last 3 weeks and provides millions of $ in education scholarships.
It's RO DEE O - now in Beverly Hills - it's RO DAY O Drive - where all the high end stores are! (Where Pretty Woman shopped lol) Kabir -- that was a sheared sheep! lol Pigs are VERY smart! Yes, rolling cheese -- weird! Who could eat that much cheese??!! These kids don't get hurt - they are well padded and they do it at home for practice -- the little was crying most likely because he fell off . . .
In Spanish it's roDAYoh. In American English it's ROWdeeoh. It is derived from competitions the Mexican Vaquero's used to do. This spread to their Anglo counterparts in the SW, and voila it's a thing. This is why there's no rodeo tradition in Europe. Well that and your farms aren't' measured in square miles either....
Note that there is no "Texas Rodeo" per se. This is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Brits fixate on TX for some reason, but rodeos are held in almost every county the South, Midwest and of course in the West. There is one held every year in Madison Square Garden in NYC. It's also not the largest: The Calgary Stampede and the National Finals Rodeo in LV are probably larger.
OBTW, "Howdy" is going out of common usage unless someone is deliberately trying to be folksy and "country". "Pardner" is almost completely gone from usage. Speaking of usage, "not my first rodeo" IS in common usage as in not my first time/not a complete noob. Also, "not my first county/state fair" -same meaning.
We eat tons of gator here in Louisiana. It tastes like sweet chicken. It's delish!
You should 100% visit Houston for the rodeo. I've lived in HTX my whole life and it is something you will not regret. The food they ate was literally just the tip of the iceberg. It's a month and a half long event. There are concerts everyday with major Artists, gun shows, car shows, Carnival and don't forget you would also party in the city after the carnival. Yeah it's pretty freaking insane. Thick women in daisy dukes & cowboy hats everywhere. 😂
I don't really purchase pizza by the individual topping, but my 3 favorite pizzas are Meat Lover's, Supreme, and Veggie Supreme.
you pronounced it correctly!! take care!
Alligator tasted similar to chicken when I tried it.
Pronunciation can be different depending on state your in.
That lemonade is most likely two liters.
The turkey legs are great. Everything there is fun to watch.
They do the cheese roll here too. We got that from y'all.
In Nevada we say it how you're saying it. I've had alligator in Fla. Don't remember it having much of a taste at all.
Kabir. You *have* to try Alligator ( fried/ grilled/ smoked) I can personally guarantee it is delicious. I eat it any chance it’s on a menu.
Kabir, you have great taste in pizza toppings! Those are my favorites too!!!
Kabir thought that sheep was a goat. LOL
Roh dee oh. Rohdayo is how Rodeo Dr in Hollywood is pronounced. That’s a tram taking them from the parking lot.
Corndog=hot dog on a stick dipped in cornmeal batter and deep fried. Great for fairs, ballparks, and feeding kids.
Hotdogs can be called frankfurters, franks and sometimes wieners or dogs (but not wiener dogs*) but we don’t think of them as sausages. Or rather they’re in the “oh,yeah I guess they are technically sausages” space.
* those are dachshunds, which we do not pronounce dash hound.
I’m in Houston Texas rodeo here are mostly on may & on February
Bacon cheeseburger pizza is my favorite
Alligator tastes like nothing else you've ever eaten and it is absolutely delicious fried.
corndog=hotdog in cornmeal batter
Been to lots of rodeos. So much fun.
