VIDEO: Reid Ryan Tells Astros’ Snow Cone Vendor He’s Gotta…Go

Poor Reid Ryan. It’s hard enough on the guy living his life in the shadow of his famous father, Nolan Ryan. Then he gets his first real gig away from dad as the president of the Houston Astros, which wasn’t going to be easy - what with the Astros moving from the National to the American League this year. But we bet he didn’t think his first public act would involve snow cones and public restrooms.

A snow cone vendor was fired from his job at Houston’s Minute Maid Park this week after being caught on video while taking a tray of snow cones with him into the restroom while he sat down to answer nature’s call — yes, the kind of call from nature where you have to be seated.

There’s not a snow cone’s chance in Texas that his team is going to finish the season with a winning record, and now Ryan has to answer questions about the “poopsicle” vendor until another viral video captures our fascination.

Quick, someone find out where Amanda Bynes is going to be tonight!
