Insights
  • Persistence through rejection is critical in entertainment careers—Blake Shelton faced 7 years of struggle and multiple rejections before landing his record deal
  • Childhood celebrity crushes serve developmental purposes and are psychologically safer than real-world crushes for young people, according to child development research
  • Financial boundaries in social gatherings (like $20 Super Bowl party contributions) prevent host burnout and maintain joy in entertaining
  • All-or-nothing personality types struggle with moderation in fitness and may benefit from external accountability structures rather than willpower alone

Come for the honesty, stay for the fire. Here we go. Come on, Bobby. Bobby Bones. Transmitting across America. Now turn it up. Hey! This is the Bobby Bones Show. Let's go! What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning, studio. Morning! It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. I was talking with Blake Shelton about the story of his first number one, Austin, and landing his very first record deal. Go! On the Bobby Bones Show now. Blake Shelton. Back then, when your album came out, this was, oh my God, it was brutal too for me, when your album came out, you had to go do these in-store signings like Walmart. So they sent me out, kind of like the radio tours, the week my album came out, I had to go do these in-store like autograph things. And they thought it'd be a good idea to send me back through where I came from, that would make a story. You know, he's back home with his... That week, I happened to be staying at my mom's house. I was in between Oklahoma City and Dallas, so I got to go to my mom's for a day in between. And that day, their label called me and said, Austin had gone number one at country radio. And of course, it was just like, I couldn't have been in a better place with my friends and family. And you know, it was just unbelievable, like newspapers that I had grown up looking at as a kid, like the Daily Oklahoma, the Tulsa world, like people were bringing to my autograph signing there in 8, Oklahoma. I was on the cover of those newspapers, and it was just everything, like when you're talking about your dreams coming true, like it was just like that for me. Like after seven years in Nashville, the song got on the radio, I was on the cover of the newspaper song went. When I first started performing, we would do Austin twice a night. We would like do it like early in the set because that's the only reason anybody's at this bar. And then we would like do it at the end because people showed up that weren't there when I first did it, you know? So doing that one song twice a night for at least two years, you know, because that didn't have anything else anybody wanted to hear. And we were so excited when O-Red started becoming a hit. It was like, oh my God, we have two songs. And so I just got so burnt out on it. And it, but I never stopped doing it. I just, you know, it was just like, oh gosh, we got it, here we go, you know? And now I'm back to, man, what a song. Number one. You went from two weeks working to seven years. It took that long with mild traction, a little traction. Did you get close a couple of times before? Like you got a deal, like were you ever almost there? I only got close twice. And it was the same guy both times. And it was Doug Johnson. And I went in and I got to play him, you know, my tape. And I think I might have even played him something on the guitar. He said, man, I think you got something. He goes, I want to think about this. I like this, you know? And so for like a week, I was dying like for my phone to ring. Like, and finally he called like a week later and he just said, you know, I just don't think you're ready. I think I want you to keep coming to see me, but I don't think you're ready yet. And he took maybe one or two other meetings with me and nothing ever happened. And then a few years later, I met Bobby Braddock who strongly believed in me. And he went and reproduced like three tracks on me. One being O-Red and a song called All Over Me. And he went to every record label in Nashville and pitched me. And he went to, at that time, Doug Johnson had moved over and was taking over giant records. And he had a meeting with Doug Johnson. He said, I want to play you this new kid. And this is Blake Shelton. And Doug went, oh my God, that's the kid that I remember him. And I remember they called like a couple of days later and said, you know, Doug said, I was right. You just needed some time. I want to sign you the giant records. And of course, my attorney at the time was like, well, we'll see about that. And I was like, no, we're not going to see about it. I haven't been in Nashville for all these years. I'm signing this record deal, you know? And did you ever think you'd go home? Did you ever think you'd quit? Yeah. Any instance where you're like, I don't know if this is for me anymore? There was always, yeah. And it started happening when my friends that I graduated high school with were now graduating college. And there I was still like, you know, hanging out in Nashville. But every time that I almost gave up something would happen. There would always be some little, hey, I heard so-and-so. They dropped an artist and they were looking, you know, there would always be some little glimmer of hope. You know, I remember I got a meeting one time with, you know, Byron Gallimore, which is from Tim McGraw. Yeah, Tim McGraw is producer. I had a meeting with Byron and I played him a bunch of songs that I had written or co-written and it was my demos and I even played him something on the guitar. And it was kind of like, he goes, man, but he didn't run a record label or anything. But he was probably with Tim McGraw back then, the hottest producer in Nashville is close to getting a record if Byron was going to produce you or somebody would sign you, you know. And he said, man, I really like these songs and I like your voice. He goes, but you just don't really have like that, that bottom end, that base base that you need, you know. He goes, how old are you? You know, I'm 20 or however old I was. And he goes, yeah, I mean, it's going to be there. It'll be there, you know, you just need more wear and tear on your voice. And your voice just isn't quite developed. And he goes, do you smoke or do you drink whiskey or anything? And I go, well, I don't smoke. I said, I drink if I can get it, you know. He goes, well, he goes, maybe if you smoked or something. And I, man, I left his office and I went straight and I bought a pack of his right one. Marlboro Ultralights came out. I thought, man, I can probably smoke one of them. They're probably not too bad. And I bought a pack of Marlboro Ultralights and for three months, I sat on my back porch over by Harding Mall. I had a little apartment over there and I was trying to smoke these cigarettes. And I would cough and gag. I finally got to where I could smoke them, you know, and then, but I don't know how because my dad smoked. He was addicted to cigarettes his whole life, but most of his life. And I never got addicted to him. Finally one day I was like, man, this is stupid. Like, what am I doing? You know, I never, I guess I wasn't doing it right. But I tried it. I tried it by and I guess eventually I got old enough that I had enough bottom and low end developed. Low end developed naturally enough, I guess. It's the anonymous in box. Yeah, I'm not a missing bar. There's a question to be had. Send it in to the real bad. Hello, Bobby Bones, one of my personal highlights each year is throwing a super bold party that people love a few dozen friends and co-workers show up. We always have a blast, but it's not cheap this year. I put the word out that I'd like some help paying for it. And just about everyone was on board. I don't mind losing a few bucks, but I don't want to go broke continuing to do this. What's a reasonable or fair amount to ask? To have everybody come up with money. Sign Super Bowl Sam. I think it's a great idea. Twenty bucks. Yeah, that's the exact number that was in my head. Easy. I also think it's good for you for making sure this is not put you in an uncomfortable, overextended place because it will remove joy from it. And you're not taking joy from people to give you 20 bucks to come. And you let them know ahead of time. If you're charging at the door and they didn't know, that's where it gets weird. Hey, thanks for coming. It'll be a 20-butt cover. Yeah, I just let them know in advance. And if there's there's another way they would like to contribute, like a certain amount of the food or alcohol, I would just do it universally so there's no mix up. I'll cover it all. I've always covered it all. If that's the case, 20 bucks. Now, some of you guys didn't like that. They're charging. I'll be honest, man. I may not go to your party. That's that's the risk you take. Because I have there's six of us, right? So that was a 20. That's 20 ahead. Yeah, I don't think you're bringing four kids to the Super Bowl party, though. Yeah, we're all going to the Super Bowl. If it's an adult Super Bowl party with like bros from work, I don't think somebody's bringing four kids with them. I think if you have four kids, you watch it at home. I pictured it with like, you know, at families. That was not the indicator. OK, I know. But I mean, just looking at a big picture, someone else could be easily in this situation and co-workers show up. We have a blast. That sounds like no kids. All right. No kids then. They have a blast. Puts it on. There's no kids. Yeah, I'm back in then. I'm cool with that. 20 bucks a time. Yeah, because you get to show up. You don't have to do anything. You just show up at a good time. Pay 20 bucks. Yeah. And Venmo makes it so easy to. Does that cover food, alcohol? I think it covers what's there, buddy. OK. Now, Super Bowl party. Anybody do anything this weekend? Amy, you seem like somebody that would be having a Super Bowl party you and your boyfriend. Like you guys like do this year. Yeah. Like people coming over having some cheese and. Sarkoetry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You think that's our vibe. Yeah, I kind of see the same thing. Amy, you don't have what? It's not so much about you, but he's like, you know, you think he's a cheese guy established with a glass of wine. Yeah. Pino and Super Bowl. He is like chips and salsa with a beer. I don't know about that, though. A hundred percent seems pretty well established. So you think for the Super Bowl, what do you mean? I don't even know exactly what that means, but it means well established. The more well established you are. Yeah, I'm like redneck established. Like I got it's like what do we do? If you got a kind of mouse, what would you expect? Oh, man. Bag of chips. Honestly, that's almost like. Watermelon's good. I see what you're saying. Ice tea. I see what you're saying. Because before I went out with him, I kind of thought that about him too. And I'm like, we will have nothing in common. Sweet tea. This is not going to work, right? Yeah. But he's not. I think the word I thought maybe was like a little stuffy. Well, I said well established. Me. Yeah. I thought there's no way I could be in a relationship with this person when the opportunity presented itself. And then I put it off for months and months and I was like, OK, fine. Yeah, I guess we'll go out. And then I realized, oh, don't judge a book by its cover because he he's not. He's beer and chips, guys. What kind of beer? Like a IPA. Is he drinking Natty or a local IPA? No, no, he's not a local IPA. I got to be honest. I know IPA means. It's fancy. But yeah, I just know that association. Yeah. No, he's no. He's like regular. OK. Are you guys having a party, though? Well, I don't know. I guess I need to figure that out. You don't have to text him now. Actually, I think I do because it's like, oh, do you know what IPA means? No. India Pale Ale. Oh, if you ask the question, why do people call it an IPA? India Pale Ale is named for its origin as strong, highly hopped pale ale developed in England for export to British troops and colonists in India. Wow. It goes back that far. A simple party. Anything, Eddie? No, just the family. Like a couple years ago, we had like three or four families come together. And I didn't like it. Like I wanted to watch commercials and everything and it was too loud. So it's just going to be us. And my wife does a whole spread of chips and dips and everything. It's great. Lunch box. I don't know yet. I'm hoping I get cable or internet back so I can watch the game. Half my neighborhood is still without power. So those families are out. So it's kind of like maybe we may be hopping a different neighborhood to find a family to watch it with. You got 20 bucks to go to this guy's party. What about you? I don't have a plan. I rarely have people over for anything. My wife has people over all the time to have normal friendship hangs. I never have anybody over. Way long time ago, you had a Super Bowl party. Yeah, that was fun. 15 years. Hey, I remember that one party. Yes. And I vowed I'd never do it again. Yeah, 20 bucks is good, man. That'd be fun and you'll be happy after because you're not broke and overextended. So is it OK if you have a young daughter to let them have a crush on a celebrity, like an older celebrity? Sure. I mean, I had them as a child. And Kansas State did this this study where they say it is OK. According to child development experts to allow them to have crushes, parents need to be accepting of a crush on a celebrity because it's actually a lot safer if your young preteen or teen daughter likes a celebrity than like an older boy next door. So a celebrity crush is not something they could actually turn into something right where who knows if it's a real person. So let them have it. It's important for their identity development and just feeling good about themselves, they say. So what I'm going to ask you now and I'll go first, your top three crushes from being a kid. Drum roll, please, for me at number three. Oh, wow, good one. She's also coming by the Bobby cast next week, which you're going to disclose this crushed. I think everybody probably had one when they were kids. That's probably what she gets. She's not going to your house, right? She's coming to the studio. OK. She's also married in like 50. But you had a crush on her, dude. When she was a kid and I was a kid. Number two. Jennifer Love, who's a little girl, is a little girl who's a little girl. She's a little girl. She's a little girl. She's a little girl. She's a little girl. She's a little girl. Jennifer Love, who is. That's a strong one from a lot of stuff, but like I know what you did last summer. Yeah, that was a good show. That's a good movie. Yeah. Yeah. Number one, Alyssa Milano. From who's boss and then just life, man. Charmed. I'm kind of shocked that one person is on there. Kelly Kopowski. Yeah, I never was really a big Kelly Kopowski guy. OK. Tiffany Amber Thieson. I liked her. That's kind of Zach's girl, you know, you don't mess with somebody else's girl. Up there, your friend. You know, I said, I didn't mess with Zach. So yeah, that's my Alyssa Milano at one. Jennifer Love, who had it to and Danica McKellar, Winnie Cooper at three. You have yours? Yes. At number three. At number three, we're going to go with Dylan McKay from 90210. Real name? Luke Perry. Luke Perry. Yeah, I didn't do characters. I actually didn't. Well, because I had crushes on the character. But I'll switch to real people. Wasn't he like 43? You planted teenagers. He was just a way older. He was still in high school on the show. So it was appropriate. This one, this next one, a little, probably not that appropriate. Patrick Swayze. He was definitely way older. But it was after Dirty Dancing, I had a major crush. I even wrote him a letter. And I guess my mom allowed me to have the crush because she acted as if she mailed the letter to him. And later upon, you know, once I was an adult at my mom's house, I found the letter. I kept it. I still have it to this day. So you kept it after she secretly kept it? Yes. And I was like, you never sent this letter to Patrick Swayze. And I enclosed a school picture of myself. Oh my god. I was like, I had a side ponytail. I was in like second or third grade. What did you write on the letter? Do you remember? Yeah, I know I specifically referenced the he had. I heard my handwriting wasn't that great. So my sister actually pinned it for me. And so it's her handwriting. But it's me talking. And I was like, my sister or my mom or something told me you had a ranch in Houston. That's so crazy. Because I live in Austin, which is super close to Houston. Almost like I could come visit. What if you had to road you back and I'm like, why don't you come up? Why don't you come over? That's trouble, man. But I was just like, that's so cool. Who knows if he even had a ranch in Houston? Do you think as a kid you were writing him like, hey, I'm a kid. I know you're an adult. Here's a picture of me. Just a kid as a fan. Or were you like, I have a crush on you. Here's a picture. See if you like it. I think I just had a crush. But I was just writing him as a fan. I don't think I had that kid was connecting the dots of like he might like me. Like did you send a picture so he'd think you were like? No, I don't know. You're a kid though. Maybe just so you could see who was writing him, not me so that he would be that. I don't. Yeah, it's not rational. Was it OK to put a school picture in there by your mom? Like did she let you have that picture to send off? Yeah, because she never was really going to send it. But she let me have the crush and let me write the note. So did you put a stamp on it and put it in the mailbox or did you just no stamp and no address either? You just trusted your mom. Guys, I can. It's in a turquoise envelope with lined paper. I can bring it in. We're OK. But I'm just wondering. We believe you. Yeah. Number one. Number one is this real name. Oh, Mark Paul Goslin. But it's Zach Morris. Yeah, Gossler. Mark Paul Gossler. I think so. Yeah. OK. Mark Paul Gossler. You liked him from Say By The Bell. Yeah. He's cool. He had it all. Yeah, I did have it all. Good looking, funny, good hair. Yeah, he's good. Preppy. Mm hmm. Good like style for the time. Always figured it out. All right. Every Saturday morning. Eddie, 321. Yeah, so Kathy Ireland is my three. She was a swimsuit model. Oh, she's way older than me. But thank you. We're all way. Well, mine are way older. I have one that's appropriate. OK. And then Leah Thompson, not appropriate. She was Howard the Duck and. She Prince of the Land. No, that's Carrie Fisher. Oh. And she was also back to the future. Oh, that's where I know her from. Yeah, and I met her later in life. That was legit. You did? Yes. That's fine. Like when I was in my 20s, I met her and like I was still in love. That's a good angle. Have we gotten to meet any of our crushes? You know, but you're gonna. You're going to meet Winnie. Oh, man. Yeah. I can't call it Winnie, though. I'll be cool. Be cool. Don't worry about me. One thing I am. It's cool. That's fine. You met her. Yeah, that was awesome. Did you tell her that she was my crush? And I was playing it cool. Like, I'm sure everybody tells me. You're my Joe Ducroge. OK. And then more appropriate, Candace Cameron. I have met her. DJ. Yeah, I hosted a music festival. I think I recently told my wife this, too. And she's like, really? She was really nice. Yeah, she was awesome. Really nice. Lunchbox 321. Yeah, number three, Tiffany Amber Thieson. I mean, you watch Save by the Bell and you're like, that chick is so hot. So hot. He's screaming at us. OK. Number two. Number two, Christina Applegate. Married with children. Married with children. I mean, and she wore some scandalous stuff. I mean, when I felt like I was that young, I was like, whoa, I like this girl. This is going to be weird. Was she Don't Tell Mom the Baby Sitter's Dead? Yes. Or was she Baby Sitter Club? I think it was Don't Tell Mom. Yeah, I think Don't Tell Mom the Baby Sitter's Dead. OK. And then number one. Oh, this is awesome. And you were on the right path. Cindy Crawford. She was the swimsuit model that everybody loved. And she had that little mole or what? I mean, I guess we did meet her. We met her. Holding the Pepsi, dude. Oh my gosh. Her daughter now looks exactly like she did. Yeah, she's good looking. OK. That's weird. I think her daughter, it's not creepy. Super creepy. It's creepy how he says it. But I think she's in her 20s, right? Yeah, she's like 19 or 20. She's what? 19 or 20. Why'd you like mumble 19? Well, last time I looked, I think she was 19. Last time I looked. She's 24. OK. She's 24. Last time you looked was six years ago. He said, no, no, no, no, no, 20. Yeah. OK. Her name is Kaya Gerber. Yeah, she's. Kaya or Cindy? Both of them. You know who else is great? Mom, daughter. Who was the mom, daughter? Mom, daughter? Is that what you're doing now? Heidi Klum, I think she does the poses with her daughter. And I'm like, wow. That's pretty hot. It's the last time you saw that. This has turned into a gross segment. I don't know when the last time I've seen them together, but they put them. They had a lingerie, like a toy secret, and they posed together because her daughter, I think, is 21. In 1921. Hey, right, right, 20. Yeah, her name is Lenny Klum. She's 21 years old. Yep. All right. That's why we have to end with him. I mean, they're crazy that the next generation is here, and they are. You sound like Matthew McConaughey. Especially I get older. They all say the same thing. I'm going into my money pile here. Whoever wins this game is going to win. All this cash right here. $4. Nobody knows the game of me. So everybody's name is on a wheel, including myself. So I will spin the wheel, and whoever it lands on is contestant one. Whoever lands on after that is contestant two. I'll tell you the game after we pick the players. OK? Great. Are you ready to go? Let's spin that wheel. Contestant one is Morgan. Oh, boy. I'm nervous. Oh, boy. All right. Here we go. Contestant two. Let's spin that wheel. Amy. Oh, my gosh. OK. Morgan and Amy will battle it out in something called a compliment battle. Now, in a Jonesen battle back in the day, somebody gets somebody to go, oh! You should get three compliments. If you nail somebody with a really good compliment. Oh! OK. Whoever wins, but the best compliments is the winner of the game. Amy versus Morgan. OK. Can you out-complement the other person? OK. Yeah, exactly. You didn't think it was going to this route, did you? This is a tough game, man. OK. OK. Can I get some compliment battle music of some sort up there? Oh! I like it. I like it. Who wants to go first? Well, it's contestant one. Oh, good point. Oh! Oh, really good. All right, Morgan. OK. That is with compliment number one. OK, Amy. Gosh, it's been so cool to watch you over the last 10 years because you have only blown up. Your skin is beautiful. Your hair looks awesome. And you've come into your own style. You look like the perfect person now. Oh! We have clarified before we compliment. That's one compliment. That was felt like a lot. Yeah. Well, we didn't make the rules really, but that's it. OK, this one. Yeah, yeah, just one. OK, so you can like. Yeah, but. It can be like. Yeah, you got 10 seconds. OK. Amy, you're up. Morgan, you have been so patient for so long and been through so much. And you finally like came into yourself like you were happy with being single. And then bam, that is when the love of your life found you. And you have been glowing ever since you got engaged. And I'm so excited and happy for you that you found the love of your life. What? I don't know about that. That's fine. That's felt tight. It's a battle. She had to be. And sometimes swinging this. She had to be ready to receive him. You don't keep complimenting. All right. And you both use glow, which was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not glow. What do you love? So you get engaged. But after this, I want to make it even though now. You have to eat. It's one compliment. OK, like one sentence. Yeah, one. It's going to be about one thing. All right. All right, Morgan, compliment number two. I'm trying to make sure I can. The one sentence now. Now it's like the hours into divorce. You're a strong independent woman. Oh, yeah. You're what she is. She can change a tire. All right, you're up, Amy. OK. I think it may have been a strategically wrong move to let the other person go first. I didn't know that though. We never played this game. Compliment battle. Amy. I know I got this. I got this. I got this. What's it called? Your therapy dog saves lives. That's good. That's a compliment for her dogs. Amy's complimenting her fiance and her dogs so far. OK, OK. It's interesting. All right, Morgan. No, she's so wrong. Amy, you need to knock out in round three or you ain't winning this. Come on, Amy. All right, Morgan, you're up. Round three. OK, OK, OK. Amy. Are you ready to receive it? I'm ready to receive. You're a dang good mom. Oh. There's three in a row. Wow. Amy, you got to come up with the wrecking ball. Amy, dig deep. You need to compliment her so hard. I know, but I'm like, I want to be my, the problem was she called me a strong independent woman and I would be like, you're a stronger, you're even stronger and more independent than I. Yeah, do that. Do that. See what you get from us. See our reaction. OK, compliment battle. Amy, final compliment towards Morgan. You have one of the biggest hearts of anybody that I know. Oh, OK. I give up. She does. Solid. OK. The champion of compliment battle. You got to vote. No, we don't need about. We don't even go to the scorecard. Amy, she's a highly empathetic person. Was that tough? It was hard. It's hard to find stuff about Morgan. It's hard to go second because you can't copy like things she said about me, I would say about her and she. Oh, yeah, like she's a good mom. She doesn't have kids. I know. Oh. I don't know. The rejection. The winner of the first ever compliment battle and $4 from the money pile. Give it up for a compliment champ. Morgan. It's not so much about the money. It's where it came from. Right. The money pile rarely gets touched by anyone here. Morgan. So who's up next? Well, that's it. That's it. We're complimented out. What the? I'm over complimented. We need to see y'all do this. You want to exhibition Eddie versus Lunchbox? Oh, no, no, no. That's impossible. That's impossible. It's not impossible. We do it again. I don't want to waste my compliments. That's a good point. I don't want to waste it. I don't want you to waste your compliments. OK, there's our winner, Morgan. We're going to get a car update from Lunchbox. He was in a bad accident. He was sitting on the interstate. Somebody driving. How fast? 60. Just nailed him. And the worst of it all, he lost his smoothie all in his car. It exploded in his car. He hasn't been able to look at pavement since. Don't even like that word, man. You see, he's. Oh, gosh. So, I mean, it's not funny. Your car's been gone, though. Been gone. You go yesterday. Been to the shop. I got a call yesterday. He said, hey, we're ready for you to come in, talk about it. Guys, I went to the shop, walked in. Oh, what's your last name? Tell him, oh, you have a seat right over there. We'll be right with you. Then I got the devastating news, man. All right, here we go. Get a clip. All right. So now what happens today? Just crush it? It could be a salvage tile. It could be a scrap car. But what is it? Got it. But you don't have a funeral or anything that we need to attend? No, right? You're not crying, though, so that's good news. Yeah. I'd be crying, but I don't. Yeah. But the car's, yeah, you're from 2018, so that's all people. Yeah, it is. But it's a total loss. It's gone. So say bye car. All right, thank you. You kept your family safe. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. You're very welcome. All right. Yeah, say bye to her when she leaves for me. Total. Total. Gone? Cars are complete loss, guys. But isn't that kind of what you wanted at this point? Because now you don't have to deal with a car that's just been absolutely ravaged. Are they going to give you most of what that worth was? Well, they're going to give me a certain amount of money, but that doesn't buy you a brand new car. That's what I'm saying, like most of the value of the car. Yeah. What are they going to give you? $24,000. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. But brand new. No, but I had the point. You were already hit. Like you were already hit. So let's put yourself. You already got hit in your options now, or you get your car back beat up. Probably never going to run the same. Or they give you $24,000. You can go and buy something new. Ish. Or you can supplement to $24,000 if you're going to get a bigger SUV. Right. And like I they said, I could keep the car and they would give me $14,000. Why would you want a piece of scrap metal for a $10,000? She said you can sell it parts out of it. We had a pallet. I'm telling you, I think never got sold. That would never happen. And it gets sold. We made a profit. We had it's not sold now. I mean, there's still stuff sitting in my house. OK. But man, it was just rough to hear that it's totaled. It's gone because you got to you got to take a trip down memory lane with that car. I never even saw the car. It was your wife's car. I don't even know what it looks like. But yeah, there's no memory lane. It comes to yours, right? We got it in 2018. We got it in December of 2017. And we were like, wait, you just changed the year. No, no, it was a 2018 car that he got in December. OK, that makes sense. And we were like, man, if we're going to start a family, we better get a car that can fit it. And a month later, she got pregnant. So we brought all three of our kids home from the hospital in that car. Now you're sentimental. In what year? 2017? No, we brought it home in 2018 and 2020 and 2019. Or no, 2021. Oh my god. Sorry, I can't. When you have three kids, you forget what year they're born. Yeah. One was born in 18. One was born in. We brought the car home in 17. December. I thought it was 18. No. It's a 2018 car. Guys, you can buy a 2018 in 17. Thank you. I'm sorry this happened to your car. I think it's a positive that it's totaled. It's just the world, man. But wasn't he driving it for quite some time while it was totaled? Yes. He kept driving it after the accident. That's interesting, too, that it actually worked, even though it was totaled. You think they say it's totaled and they just keep it? Maybe. And they just have to be totaled if the cost of repairs is worth more than the. Yeah, but they give you the money and they keep it. They find a way to get around the system. I mean, they could maybe take the battery out, the carburetor, things like that. Yeah, the hammy. What's the thing? Everybody goes to Steels now? Yeah, the convertor. That's it. I'm sorry I happened to your car. What's the latest with your body? My back still, here's the spear. My back still tightens up just randomly. When you hear the word pavement? No, that gives me the shivers and the freak out. That's PTSD. Yeah. Mental. And so if I'll just be around the house doing something, I'll say my back's really tight and I'm like, oh, that's not good. So I got to make an appointment at the chiropractor. Because of the accident. Yeah. Because it never hurt before. Will you get the same car? I don't know what I'm going to do, man. Is it in your wife's car? It's my wife's car. She's got to make a decision. And so we're just up in the air. Like it's chaos around our house right now. How long do you keep the rental? Not much longer, man. Yeah, you have to make a decision now. Because you also don't have a car. You ride your bike to work a lot of days. Yeah. And so that's another hard part is they want the rental back. Which is normal. Yeah. No, no, no. They're like, oh, you should already have bought a car. I'm like, whoa, whoa, guys. Well, that's not true. Did they give you the check? No, we haven't got a check yet. Got it. Well, good luck. I'm glad I'm glad as a total. That's the best outcome once the accident happened. Yeah. I had to clean out everything. Had to go in there and get all my money. You're not a sentimental guy. He has about the cars, apparently. Because, I mean, his ultimate and then this special one. Ultimate's still in front of the house. It doesn't work at all. It doesn't work at all. What are you going to do with that? I don't know, man. Dude, get rid of it. It's been almost two years. Have it just sitting there? Yeah. You just have a dead car for two years sitting on the street. Yeah. Are there plants and stuff growing on there? No, no, no. Nothing like that. Like, I take a blower out and blow all the leaves and stuff out. Yeah. It's like when you keep the grave of someone you love clean. You keep looking for flowers. That's what he's doing. It's like over there, visits it. All right, well, let us know when you get a new car. Yeah, everybody, let's have a moment of silence. Here's a clip from a famous 2000s movie. I Am Me Can Love In. What's that? 2007. Amy, can you name that movie? Make like one of those like those one of those boy movies where they ss. I Am Me Can Love In. Like. Yeah, you're right. Super bad. That's it. Yeah.

One of the best movies ever. Old school. Eddie? That's old school. All right, everybody's good. Still a base pure. 2-2-2. Next one up. Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you. From 2004. Can you name that 2000's movie one more time? Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you. Amen. Amen. Amen, brother. Lunchbox. I mean, I feel like that's Reese Witherspoon, so I put legally blonde. Incorrect. Eddie? Context clues. Mean Girls. Amy? Mean Girls. It's Mean Girls. Oh. Eddie and Amy, take the lead. Not everybody's pure anymore. You've lost your pureness. Like you've lost your flower. All right, here we go. Number four. Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do. I don't want to know what you gotta do. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. From 2003. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do.

I'm just one stomach full away from my gone weight. What? OK. Let's play it again. I know. I'm just one stomach full away from my gone weight. I'm just one stomach full away from my goal weight. I'm in. I'm in for the win. From 2006. Oh, Eddie's struggling. Now Eddie does have a lead. Five to Amy's four to lunchbox is three. Yeah, I might lose it. I'm not a factor. He's taking his purity for sure. Lunchbox. That's a women. So that's Bridesmaid. That's a women. That's incorrect. Amy, Rumi, Michelle. Incorrect. What? Hold on. Hold on. I have bring it on. Wow, wrong. You made it a long way. The devil wears Prada. Oh, yeah, duh. Well, that makes me disappointed in myself. Final one. Lunchbox cannot win. But Eddie, you're in the lead.

So you go first. Man, it's the whole 10 seconds that kind of threw me off. I was like, is that a gone in 10 seconds? Is that a movie? Gone in 10 seconds? Not the one that I've seen. I wrote down Fast and Furious. OK. That's what I have. And Amy, you're right. Eddie, you're right. Eddie, you win. OK. Lunchbox, it didn't matter. But what do you have? Oh, I have Fast and Furious. And they have the last one coming out. OK. Well, Eddie got one right. Eddie, you're in. Eddie, you're in. Wake up. Wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on.

So you know what this is. Yes. Let's go. This is the Bobby Von Sturm. Now the morning corny. The morning corny. How are relationships like algebra? How? Because you look at your X and wonder why. That's pretty funny. That was the morning corny. That's a pretty good one. Oh, you ever look at like your insights on social media and it tells you like how your video does normally? Yeah. I feel like that one was slightly above the normal line. Oh, yeah. I can normally gauge it from y'all. Yeah. Pretty good. I don't. You like the smart ones. I like the dumb ones. Oh. Today's World Cancer Day. In the fight against cancer, every screening matters. So when I talk about that for just a second, early detection is key. And I know it may feel inconvenient, but you know what's super inconvenient? Cancer. Yes, the worst. Yes. Pfizer's patient focused website, phyzerforall.com. Use that to check your eligibility and book cancer screenings in just a few simple steps because every breakthrough matters. That's why Pfizer's bringing oncology to the forefront for this year. They're fighting for eight cancer breakthroughs by 2030. So fewer side effects, beyond chemo. Pfizer's fighting to move cancer treatments beyond chemo and radiation and better treatments. So I think a lot of us in this room have been affected by cancer in many, many different ways. And you can hit at phyzerforall.com. And that's with a P, P-F-I-Z-E-R, phyzerforall.com to check your eligibility and book cancer screenings in just a few simple steps. So today is World Cancer Day. And that's not, it's kind of a weird day because you would think, oh, World Cancer Day because it's like on World Tacos Day, what are you supposed to do? You talk about World Cancer Day. It don't, yeah. It's a weird one. Maybe it should be like World Anti-Cancer Day. I like that. Yeah, it's a better type of awareness. Yeah, because on World Puppy Day, what do you need to do? Get a puppy. Or play with puppies or support. You know? Yeah, well, you do what you can with it. You can. Yes, so again, a little levity there, but it's World Cancer Day. So early screening matters. Go to phyzerforall.com. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes us from Parkville, Missouri. A 32 year old man's driving when he gets stuck behind a snow plow. Snow plow going slow and he's getting aggravated. Guy behind was like, come on, come on. Finally passes him after 10 minutes, starts flipping him the bird. Snow plow driver gives him the bird back. So the 32 year old pulls out a gun. Ba, ba, ba, ba. Shires eight shots at the snow plow. Adam? Yeah. Oh man, I was hoping you were just gonna say in the air. Me too. Yeah, that'd be cool. Sometimes I get behind a tractor on the road and I'm like, man, I sure would like to shoot up in the air with my gun. You ever get behind a tractor? And you're like, sure, shoot up a shot. You get it? Yeah, I get it. But again, you don't shoot at. And then also the snow plow guy's actually doing good. Like for the people that are driving. It's not just a tractor, by the way. I don't really want to shoot in the air. That's crazy. Okay, there you go. I'm Lushbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day. Hello. Hey, me, here's the question I pose you. So I've had ankle surgery and I've really just done nothing on my foot. I can't really jog. I would walk a little bit. I do some rehab. My type is all or nothing where if I get back training again, I know I'm gonna train hard and I'll possibly re-injure my ankle. So I've just stayed off of it to let it heal. I'm at the point now where I haven't done anything in three months, longest of my life. Probably since I was 17 years old where I've done nothing. I feel pretty soft, pretty gooey. That being said, I can just be this way forever now. Or I can go and fight and get back in shape, which probably gonna take a little longer because I'm a little older. If you were me, what would you do? Well, I would opt just, you're gonna be a dad and I would just think like, hell. Dad bod. No. Yes, that's what I'm saying. No, that's not where I'm going. This has nothing to do with the look of your body or anything vanity-wise. It's more so just your health. I think you're supposed to move and do things just for longevity and living a good life. Well, I think we choose whatever's gonna get your heart rate up a little bit, cardiovascularly. How can you take care of your muscles? Gone. Yeah. Three months, it's gone. Walking up the stairs just to come into work now. I sit down after eating commercials in the morning and I'm like, that's one flight. It's crazy how, but it's three months, I've done nothing. So that's my vote. I mean, but do you, like you're a smart guy, you know, you don't have to go hard. You don't have to go all in. You're not training for anything. Just train for like normal life. Do you know, I'm sorry, do you know Bobby? Hey, I'm Bobby, nice to meet you. I know you and I know that you're all or nothing, but I also know that you're intelligent and you don't have to go all or nothing. You can just choose to go some. That's really not how it works. But it is. It's not. It's like you can choose not to drink a whole lot, but it's like I'm alcoholic, I can't. Oh, so you- I compare my obsession with tendencies of an addict. Yes. Because I think- That tracks, I do think you have that. You could work a program for accountability. 12 step program to not work out. Or to mildly work out. To mildly work out, have accountability. Kind of feels like fork and road. I just feel like you can't re-enter yourself. And at this point, you are also getting to an age when you go that hard, you act as if you're training as a pro athlete. I am, yes. And you're not- Hold that hope, hold that hope. Never know when I'm gonna get that call. But you're not. So like just, you know, do some, try casual workouts. Don't do anything casual, you know that. I have an appointment today with my doctor. Well ask your doctor what he thinks. Or she, didn't mean to- Dang, Mr.- Whoa, man, sexes? I know, right? That just came out. It's a he though. I feel like I've heard you talk about him. That's why I said that. All right, we'll see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. Yes, Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones Show theme song written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry.
