Confessions with In The Loop

ITL discussed a new deep-dive analysis breaking down the first wave of 2026 NFL free agency and what the early moves around the league reveal about how teams are building their rosters. In The Loop examined which franchises attacked the market aggressively, which teams stayed patient, and how those decisions are already shaping the competitive landscape across the NFL.

The conversation then shifts to the Texans as ITL examines Nick Caserio's offseason approach.

Stroud. The hour wraps with today's QOTD asking listeners: what's your backup country?

In this episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with one of the most respected voices in Western sports media—Kadee Coffman—for a conversation about persistence, opportunity, and building a career in the rodeo industry. Raised on a fifth-generation cow-calf operation in Clovis, California, Kadee grew up surrounded by horses and Western heritage. Her journey began in rodeo queen pageantry, earning titles like Miss California Rodeo Salinas and Miss Rodeo California. When her goal of becoming Miss Rodeo America didn't unfold the way she expected, it pushed her to rethink her path—leading her to pursue broadcast journalism and eventually a career in Western sports media. What followed was a career built on what Kadee calls being “pleasantly persistent.” From landing her first opportunities with Superior Livestock Auction to stepping onto some of the biggest stages in rodeo broadcasting, she shares the lessons she learned along the way and the mentors—like Pam Minnick—who helped shape her approach to storytelling. Kadee also reflects on memorable moments covering the National Finals Rodeo, the fast pace of live television, and the responsibility of telling the athletes' stories in the moments that matter most. Beyond the camera, Kadee has also built an impressive career in business development in the construction industry while balancing life as a wife and mother—proving that passion, preparation, and persistence can open doors in more than one arena. This episode is full of insight, humor, and real-life lessons—including a memorable ranch story about a miniature donkey named Fiesta.

ITL breaks down the Texans adding tight end Foster Moreau and why Lopez believes it might be one of the more significant moves the team has made so far this offseason.

Stroud. Lunch-Time Confessions follows with Lopez sharing what he believes is the perfect marketing idea for a local grocery store that could instantly grab attention. The hour wraps with OG Buy Or Sell as ITL debates whether they are buying or rejecting some of the biggest takes currently circulating around the sports world.

The Rockets ran into a strong opponent and suffered another ugly loss, and ITL reacts to what made this one feel even worse than the last. In The Loop breaks down what continues to go wrong for Houston and whether the issues are execution, coaching, or something deeper within the roster. Lopez also raises an interesting Texans theory, suggesting the team may be all-in on building something similar to the Patriots-style offense. ITL discusses what that could mean for C.J. Stroud, how it would shape the roster around him, and whether that blueprint actually makes sense for Houston moving forward. The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What's the worst you ever got got?

ITL reacts to Texans tight end Dalton Schultz appearing on The Jim Rome Show and breaks down what stood out most from his comments. In The Loop discusses what Schultz had to say about the Texans' offense, the direction of the team, and what his perspective reveals about the locker room and expectations moving forward. The show then wraps with Figgy's Mixtape featuring a debate sparked by J.J. Watt about tipping at restaurants, Kelly Clarkson going on a rant about her experience on American Idol, and more strange and entertaining stories making the rounds.

Around The NFL, the show breaks down the latest free agency twists, including the Maxx Crosby trade drama that ultimately fell apart when the Ravens backed out, while also discussing what the Texans' draft strategy might look like if the team continues to avoid making a big splash offensively in free agency. The conversation continues with the fascinating story of Texans offensive lineman Braden Smith and his journey overcoming OCD while maintaining an NFL career, followed by Lunch-Time Confessions as Figgy shares that his stray dog saga is still ongoing. Judge John Lopez also steps into court to debate whether anyone will ever score 100 points in an NBA game again.

In this episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with one of the most influential women in rodeo and Western business — Billie Bray — for a conversation that spans three decades of change, resilience, growth, and leadership. From the electric atmosphere of the 2016 USTRC Finals to the birth of million-dollar rodeos, Billie walks us through the moments that reshaped the Western industry as we know it. She shares what it was like owning and building the USTRC for 20 years, investing in the classification system that leveled the playing field, and helping grow team roping into the largest economic force in Western sports — now paying out over $100 million annually. But this episode isn't just about numbers. It's about family. It's about raising two high-level rodeo athletes. It's about watching your son win an all-around title at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo — the same arena where you once competed — and hearing him say he wants to be just like his mom. Because at the heart of it all, rodeo is still about values, family, and the culture we're fighting to preserve.

In this long-awaited episode—five years in the making—we sit down with a true legend of the arena, Jayme Marcrum. A two-time world champion in breakaway and tie-down roping, Jayme's career is defined by a relentless drive that she describes as being "on a mission" from the moment she wakes up until her head hits the pillow. Jayme takes us back to her roots in downtown Dallas, where she grew up at the Mesquite Rodeo. From running barrel racing exhibitions for a dollar at age three to qualifying for the world standings on horses she had to "make" herself because she couldn't afford the finished ones, Jayme's story is one of resourcefulness and pure resilience. Jayme Marcrum didn't just pave the way for today's breakaway ropers; she helped build the road they are driving on. Tune in to hear from a woman who believes that every time she backs into the box, she has the power to win first. ----In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

In The Loop w/ John Lopez & Reggie Adetula FULL SHOW January 16th 2026

This episode of In The LOOP Podcast is one of the most raw and meaningful conversations we've shared — a story rooted in faith, resilience, and the power of community within the rodeo and equine industry.Inspired by 2025 World Champion Breakaway Roper Taylor Munsell, this episode brings awareness to Breakaway From Cancer and the real lives it has impacted. Jordan Jo sits down with cancer survivors Kacey Kobza and Lindsey Pender to share their journeys — not from a place of fear, but from courage, honesty, and hope.Kacey opens up about her diagnosis with Hodgkin's lymphoma, the overwhelming support she received from the rodeo community, and how that experience reshaped her perspective on life, competition, and relationships. Now cancer-free, she gives back as a board member of Breakaway From Cancer, helping lift financial and emotional burdens for others in the equine industry facing the same fight.Lindsey shares her ongoing battle with stage-three triple-negative breast cancer — from noticing early warning signs to navigating chemotherapy, surgery, motherhood, and faith. With vulnerability and strength, she speaks about trusting God in the unknown, accepting help, and staying present through each phase of treatment while continuing to show up for her family.This episode is not about cancer statistics or outcomes. It's about taking life one day at a time, refusing comparison, leaning on faith, and allowing community to carry you when you're tired. It's a reminder that in rodeo — and in life — no one fights alone.

Known for her energy, competitiveness, and love for the sport, Cali has built her life around rodeo — both in and out of the arena — mentoring college athletes while still chasing her own competitive dreams.In this episode, Cali opens up about the storms that nearly ended her career. A devastating hip injury in 2023 set off an 18-month battle marked by chronic pain, surgery, setbacks, self-doubt, and the fear of losing the one thing that had always been her outlet. She shares the raw reality of hitting rock bottom — questioning her identity, her ability, and whether she would ever rope competitively again.Cali walks listeners through the mental and physical grind of recovery, the loneliness of suffering quietly, and the courage it took to ask for help. From undergoing major hip surgery to ultimately pursuing stem cell therapy in Mexico, her journey is one of humility, perseverance, faith, and learning to let go of control.
