The Rodeo Houston 2026 lineup just dropped, and Houston we chose violence (in the best way possible). In this episode of Southwest of Normal, Brad Countryman and Jimmy Villanueva break down the full Rodeo Houston 2026 concert lineup, argue about who absolutely crushed it, who surprised us, and which nights are going to be absolute chaos inside NRG Stadium. Before we even get there, we admit our sins and talk about what we're watching right now — the TV shows, movies, and binge-worthy distractions that are completely destroying our productivity and somehow still worth it. Guilty pleasures, unhinged recommendations, and zero judgment (okay, some judgment). This episode is part pop culture spiral, part Houston culture therapy session, and part real-estate-adjacent nonsense — exactly how we like it. If you care about Rodeo Houston 2026, Houston events, pop culture, or just enjoy two Realtors with opinions and no filter, you're in the right place. 🎧 Topics Covered: Rodeo Houston 2026 lineup reaction & breakdown Best nights to attend Rodeo Houston 2026 Biggest surprises and snubs in the lineup What TV shows we're binge-watching right now Houston culture, concerts, and controlled chaos 🏡 Real Estate, Minus the Boring Stuff: Brad Countryman — Countryman Homes (Keller Williams Southwest) 👉 https://countrymancan.com Jimmy Villanueva — Space City Team 👉 https://www.spacecityteam.com Subscribe, rate, and share — or don't.
