#700 - Bobby's House Tour of Signed Guitars & the Stories Behind Them!

Hey guys, Bobby here. We are in my house.

And many years ago, I stopped taking signed guitars from people because I could say I have a bunch of cool ones and it.

Just felt like I don't need any more of these.

And I have to kind of be professional and not fan boy out on everybody.

But I did collect some really cool signed guitars. I've never actually shared these with anyone. So I'm going to pull them down and share some of the stories behind them. So let's go. By the way, I'm not wearing any shoes because we don't wear shoes in my house. This is a shoeless house. Okay.

This one here was signed by Dierks Bentley. And this is every lyric to the song.

I'm old on this. was when the song went number one. I was a big supporter of this song. It was right when I moved to town.

It was probably 2014, around that time.

I just loved the song, and I pushed it as hard as I could, and told people to play it.

And when it went number one, he signed this in appreciation, and it's literally, can you imagine the time he took to write every lyric of that song on this guitar?

It's just an old beat-up trone. Some say that I should trade her. I got all the words right here. Dierks Bentley, thanks, dude. This is a really cool one.

Okay, this one is from artist-songwriter Harry Pasley. He has multiple number one songs. He wrote every lyric to the song Friday Night. So Friday Night is number one from him.

But also he wrote in Lady A, at the time that Lady A. Novell, they put on a record. It was not a single.

And he hit him up and.

Was like, hey, since you guys didn't put it out as a single, but you recorded it, is there any chance I can have it back to record it?

And they said, sure. So he records it himself. And he wrote all the lyrics to this too. I didn't even ask him to do this. But thanks, Bobby. My first number one. You rock, Eric Pasley.

And if I'm just totally forgetting lyrics to the song, I just pull these off the wall and sing them up.

So this one we're looking at about 2006. And it just says Bobby Rose Rules. Now, can you identify that signature? Now we're talking about 2006. In 2006, I was not living in Nashville. I was living in Austin, Texas. And for those that don't know my.

Story, I started doing mornings when I was 22 in Austin, Texas.

It was a pop station. And this is one of the first signed guitars I ever got from this fella.

So I was like, I'm just curbside proper with my hand in my pocket and I'm waiting for my rocket to come.

Do you know that one? No, you don't. Okay. How about this one?

Um, My name is Jason Mraz. That's actually not a song, but that's who it is. It's Jason Mraz.

Jason Mraz, if you're watching this, I'm still a big fan. You should come on the show. But this is the first one that I ever got. And I put it away. It came back chipped, but I still keep it. So shout out to Jason Mraz.

Okay, so this here is the type of guitar it is. It's a John Lennon style Gibson. John Lennon did not sign this one, but it's a John Lennon Gibson guitar. And this is one of the only ones that I did not get signed myself, nor did the person sign for me.

This is actually a guitar that Billy Ray Cyrus played for years. And on the back, I bought this in a charity auction.

It says, some give all Billy Ray Cyrus 52213.

And so he gave me this guitar. I bought it for his charity.

And then this is when he signed it and then handed it over to me.

So the fact that it was Billy Ray Cyrus was.

a big part of this, the fact that the guitar is super cool and super nice, but also that it's left-handed and he plays left-handed and I'm left-handed and I'm always the one at parties or whenever everybody's passing the guitar down and never get to play the guitar because they're always right-handed guitars.

And I'm like, I also play guitar, but people are like, no, you don't have to play it. Then I try, but it's backward and then I can't play it because I'm left-handed. This keeps that from happening. So this guitar is, was signed by Kenny Rogers.

And so it's kind of funny how this came about, because I was never going to ask Kenny to sign anything, because I was at the stage already where I wasn't going to ask anyone, and I don't anymore, to sign anything.

I feel like it's a bit unprofessional.

But he had come to the studio a couple times, and I'd actually spent a little time with Kenny in a non-professional wedding, just one other time.

And so I wouldn't say that we were friends, but we definitely knew each other, and we'd spent a little time together.

And I remember thinking, My grandma would crap her pants right now if she had pants on and was alive.

She would think it was so cool that I was hanging out with Kenny Rogers. He'd come to the studio a couple times.

We had hung out once. He came back a third time. And we're sitting in, and I would keep this guitar in that studio. As you can see, it's left-handed. And he said, hey, I never signed anything. You want me to sign anything? And I said, well, he goes, how about I sign that guitar over there? Well, it's like my playing guitar. But I didn't want to say that to Kenny Rogers.

So I said, sure. Signed this guitar. And so he did. He wrote, Bobby, thank you for all your help. Your friend, Kenny Rogers. And so I never played it again. And it was just cool to also kind of be Kenny Rogers' buddy for a little bit. Like, he's legendary.

So I really love this guitar because it's one I played a lot on and it's one that Kenny kind of threw a signature.

On without asking. Right here, it says, I love me some Bobby. Rock on.

And that is Kelly Clarkson. This guitar is from 2004. Kelly Clarkson came to my studio in Austin.

And it's when, it's after American Idol. Because I think that was maybe 2002. And she had had a hit or two. And she was from Texas. And she came into Austin and she did the radio show. And we were having lunch after the show. And what was fun for me then was, I was 23 years old.

23, 24 years old.

So people would come by, like young artists, and I was their age. And what would happen a lot of times is they would do radio shows, and the guys would.

Be 20 years older than them. So I think some of the artists that were my age felt like, oh, I can actually hang out.

With this person. And her show wasn't until the next night. And I said, hey, we have a softball game tonight. Do you want to play? She was like, I'm in. And so I played in a co-ed softball league. And I was like, are you sure?

She's like, yeah, I mean, I haven't played in a while.

Do you have a glove? And I was like, yes. And I remember we went and we bought her some cleats and some socks. And it was about 4 o'clock. First game was at 6.30 or 7. And I got a text going, my manager's not going to let me play because I have a show tomorrow night. And I was like, dang. I still have the glove Kelly Clarkson never used. So nice all the time.

And this is a guitar from 2004 that she signed for me and almost played softball with us that night.

So this says to Bobby, all good things to you. I don't know who this is. Let's figure it out together. It looks like Sue Lukal. It is not Sue Lukal. It's Sarah Magalha. So she came in to do an interview and perform. And I was just like, play the dead puppies on. And she was like, no.

And I was like, but I'm going to kill puppies. And then she's like, fine, I'll play it. And then she played it and I still killed two puppies.

I had to. She didn't play guitar. I don't know that she does play guitar, but... And I wasn't going to get a signed piano from her, but she signed this guitar.

I think it was with her crew and gave it to me. Because I had other signed guitars up there. I didn't ask for them, but there were other ones that I had. And so she signed this and handed it to me. And for a long time, I wondered who Sue Lockwell was. But nope, it is Sarah McLaughlin. And all good things to me.

And you know what, Sarah? There's been some real good things to me. So thank you. A little bit of credit to you for writing that to some of the good things that's happened here. So this guitar is from 2004. I'll tell you a story about it before I tell you who it is. When I started doing radio, I never really fit in anywhere. I could say that even about today. But I grew up in rural Arkansas, trailer parks.

I grew up very, very much on country music.

That being said, when I was doing pop, I was getting my balls busted because I was too country.

My accent was too country.

The guests I was bringing on my pop radio show were way too country. Because I would have on pop stars, but I would have country stars too because I just love country music.

And so I had people like Eli Youngband, Dierks Bentley. Like, if you came through, Gary Allen. And I liked your music, even though I was on apostation. I put you on.

One of the artists that came by that I really got in trouble for putting on was Willie Nelson. Willie Nelson would just come by, came by a couple times, and he would just, and I mean this in the most loving way, stay.

He'd show up, and he'd come on the air and we'd have a talk, and then All right, good to see you. And Willie wouldn't leave. So we just keep doing the show with Willie there. And Willie would hop in. It was amazing. And it's fun, too, because, one, I love Willie. A grandma would really love Willie.

She's the one that made me appreciate his music. But now I know Lucas, his son, which is crazy.

But this is from 2004.

Willie Nelson, when I was told, while I was doing pop radio, that I'm way too country and hillbilly to do pop radio.

So, oh, how times have changed.

Okay, so this is actually a recent one because I lied earlier and said that I didn't have any more signed guitars.

So I'm a big fat liar, but I need to explain why. This one says to Caitlin and Bobby, I love you both like family. Thanks for always being there for me. Love, Brett Eldridge. Brett would just come over a lot.

We had the guitar wall and there were a couple empty spots because we had a filled it out yet.

And I had a couple guitars that I just had blank. Kate almost like, hey, sign one of those. We'll put it on the wall so we can fill the gap. And he's like, okay.

And so we didn't know when he wrote on until he put it up. And it's actually very sweet.

This one was probably signed in the last three years. I like him a lot, Alan.

That's meaningful to me because he's one of our best friends ever and he wrote a nice message and we keep it up on the wall.

We do have one other empty one up there.

If anybody comes to the house and has dinner, I actually forgot that it was empty, but that one is empty.

It's light-handed. It's one that I used to play. All right, here we are. Maybe we're crown jewel. This here from 2003. There are three signatures on. One of them is actually on Dancing with the Stars this season. It's Hanson. And so got all three of them to sign this. And I remember they were in the studio and they were so good. And I was honest with them. I'm a massive fan. It wasn't just Mbop for me. Like they actually were great musicians, great singers.

And I think they thought I might've been messing with them and how big of a fan that I was because I was pulling out B-sides.

And they left the studio still wondering if I was kidding or not.

And I think somebody got to them and said, hey, he was actually a massive fan. Like he wasn't messing with you guys. And so about two weeks later, I got a long note talking about how much they enjoyed the show and that they appreciated that I was a real fan.

And they put this guitar in there and they sent me a signed guitar.

Not only that, I do this show called The Million Dollar Show at the Ryman here in Nashville.

And it's for St.

Jude.

And I've been fortunate enough to raise like $ 32 million for St.

Jude.

So if you're watching this, you might be a big part of that. So thank you so much.

But we do this show where we have artists just come in and play with us. And a few years ago, I reached out to my old friends Hanson and Tulsa. And they drove over and they played with us. It is so much fun and they're so good.

So this was an OG here. They've also played with me at the Ryman.

But this is my 03 Hanson guitar.

There is no crazy story behind this one. It's George Strait. I think it was backstage at the Roneo. And I think he just gifted me this because we had never met before.

I don't think there's a crazy story behind it.

If there was, there'd be like, I should write a big note. Like you are the true cowboy of everyone that I know in country music. Nobody is more country than you. Stay country. Keep it country. Pure country. There's nobody more pure country than you. Sorry, I should write on here. Yeah, that's George Strait. All right, this guitar.

I was a big fan of this artist.

They wouldn't come on my show and I didn't play their music. They never knew who I was. But I was a massive fan. And I went to Austin City Limits Music Festival. And since I had a parking pass, because I was working it, I took this guitar and I took it in with me. And all I was doing was looking for this artist. Because at the time, I was collecting these.

And most of them had been given to me as gifts.

But still, if there was somebody I really loved, I wanted to get them to sign a guitar for my collection.

And I really love this artist. It's kind of hard because it's, it's a dark wood. Ben Harper.

If there was a Ben Harper show within 50 miles, I was there. So I got Ben Harper to sign it. I'm not even sure he looked up what he signed it.

I don't care. I just, this is one that I tracked the person. I was dogged the bounty hunter.

I was bogged the bounty hunter at a music festival, chasing Ben Harper to get him to sign this. So when it comes to people coming over to the house and having dinner and signing guitars, because we had a couple of them, I would climb up there, but I have to climb over the jukebox.

Then it's Jake Owen.

And it says, thanks for everything and being a good, weird dude.

And I think what happened was, Greg had signed. There were two left. And he's like, dude, I want to sign one, dude. We had a big dinner out here in the back here at the house. And Jake signed that one. I will say this about Jake Owen. Great penmanship. So that is a second friendship guitar up in the guitars.

Now we're at four prominence. And so one of those nine.

I'm going to walk you through these guitars and what they mean to me and why they are so cool to me. My very first ever radio interview in my entire life was Darius Rucker. I was 18 years old in Magic Springs in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

That's a theme park.

And Hootie and the Blowfish were playing. And I have this picture that I post every once in a while. The first interview I ever did in the history of life was Darius Rucker. And I remember going in and Hootie was playing guitar. And there was like five different radio people from Hot Springs and Little Rock. And they said, okay, everybody's going to get somebody. Somebody was going to get Mark, the guitar player. Someone's going to get Sony, the bassist.

Someone was going to get.

And I was just like, give me Darius. Give me Darius, the lead singer. I want the lead singer. And I got Darius, the lead singer. And I have this picture of these weird side burns. And I look like a total goober smooch.

Smash cut. I come to Nashville.

The first week that I'm on the air, my guest was Darius Rucker. This is the last guitar that I asked for before I stopped taking them. So once this kind of completed the cycle for me, I love this guitar for that. Not the best signature.

Like, Darius, you could have done better. But because of what it means, this one's always cool to me. This guitar is my favorite artist of all time. The year is 2003. And this artist just said, Bobby, be good. because he knew I was up to no good. That's a baby me and a baby John Mayer. This is when I got the guitar sound.

For about a year and a half, we were kind of buddies, meaning when he was in town, he would always come by the studio. I was doing a show in L.A. once, and he came to the show. We would message and stuff.

There was never a falling out. I think he just got bored of me. I'm a boring person. John, if you're watching this, come on, man. Let's be friends again.

I was a favorite artist ever, and so for 2003... Tuba would be good at John Mayer.

Super cool. But before I get to the final link, I'm going to pull up this one here. I think I know who this is. I think I know who I think it would be if I were to put it up. Okay, let's do it. Let's go AI. Do you think ChatGPT will know who this is? ChatGPT doesn't know either. Is that Jason Aldean?

All right, we're looking this up together here.

That looks close. It is?

Yeah, because look at this little top there. You see that at the top is... Jason Aldean. What up, Jason? I was just holding out hope it was the Beatles. But still, Jason Aldean.

There you go.

And then, this is my favorite. So, I was doing the radio show. I'd been in town a few years in Nashville. And I'd never had this artist on the show. And this artist is finally going to come on the show.

And I thought it was.

Let's not be nervous. I don't get very nervous for people coming by. And so, not only that, they said, if he's in the mood, he may play a few songs. I'm going, you've got to be kidding me. You're going to play songs on my show?

This artist that I love and have loved my entire life is coming by.

So I was a little nervous about it. And so he comes by, and he comes with a guitar case. And he opens it up, and he says, well, what do you want to hear? We're on the air.

And I go, what do I want to hear?

Hey, there's your whole library, Mr. Garth Brooks. What do I want to hear? And he says, tell me anything. I'll play one of my songs. I'll play other songs. So Garth Brooks played If.

Tomorrow Never Comes, The Dance, and Fire and Rain on this guitar. and he's finishing up his show with me.

He said, I'm going to just leave you my guitar. I was like, what are you, like, till tomorrow? You're going to come back and get it? He said, no, I want you to have it.

Bobby, you're the man.

God bless you. Garth Brooks.

So this is the guitar that he brought to the studio, played, left, signed, and then he personally asked God to bless me. Later on in life, Garth and I ended up being friends, which is crazy, and he invited me to come out and open his football.

Stadium show in Fayetteville, Arkansas. 100,000 people.

So there was the opener act and then me, my group, it was me, Eddie, Brandon Ray, Brandon's brother.

We went out as the Raging Idiots and we played for 40 minutes.

And Garth made sure that it was fully dark before we went on because he said, yeah, if you go on and it's daylight, people really aren't going to be paying much attention.

He said, wait until it gets dark so the lights come on.

So we did that And Garth has the whole stage, the whole 360 stage, because it's in the middle of the stadium.

And this is not what happens.

But he said, use it all.

And Garth said, you know, man, if you're really feeling it and you want to go long, play as long as you want. And I'm going, he's already given me the stage. He's waiting until it gets dark for us to go out. And now he's telling me if I'm feeling it, to play as long as I want. And right as I was about to say something, Trishy stepped in and said, don't play for 40 minutes.

Don't play as long as you want. I was like, that's a good question. Nailed that in church there. But this is my coup de grace. A gift given to me after he played it in my studio. Back old jukebox here. Where I just put all my favorite music in there. Kenny Rogers, George Brooks. I got some mob villains.

George Strait, the hits. God of Corruption, John Cash.

The C's.

This is the Nashville magazine. I think it's like hottest people or something. And our coolest people, they're called Life.

How about that?

And there's our buddy, Brett Eldridge. So we got a double there. Everybody's included except for me. Here's a record. This is kind of a fun thing that Brett Eldridge left here. So this is the Oklahoma soundtrack on vinyl. And my wife's from Oklahoma.

And every birthday for a while until Brad got sick, he would sing the songs from the musical Oklahoma, because it's Caitlyn's favorite movie.

And he also was in it when he was in high school. And it's, oh, what a beautiful morning. So we, happy birthday, Caitlyn.

Lovely Brad.

This is like Caitlyn Corner. Am I on anything?

Shit.

There's no me, but there's Harry Styles, in case you're wondering. Still know me. I got to be here somewhere. Well, does that count? 100 Arkansas fans. Well, we should. True Arkansas fans. That's it.

All right.

Yeah, I know where we found him, huh? That's it. Thank you guys for coming.

Hope you enjoyed a look inside my house and all my guitars. And we'll see you again never. from my house anyway bye buddy hang tight the bobby cast will be right back.

And we're back on the bobby cast.

Let's go over now to movie mike's movie podcast every month mike does an episode where he recaps all the movies he's seen in theaters and streaming so you can know what's worth your time and what you can skip. Here's Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

Best and worst movies for the month of October. I think we might have the same best. So on the count of three, we'll say our pick.

Okay.

One, two, three.

You can see everything.

You can see everything now.

I mean, obviously it'd be both of our best.

Yes.

It is easily for me, which I talked about last week, one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I also like it from the standpoint of People don't go to watch documentaries like this in theaters. This is unheard of. Nobody's rushing to the theater. Do you see that new documentary?

That doesn't happen. It's a three-hour documentary.

Three hours, no less. I think the last time it happened was the Michael Jackson This Is It documentary and the Michael Moore Fahrenheit 9-11. I think that's what that was called in the early 2000s. But since then, this is now the highest-grossing documentary in the United States. So just from that standpoint of a movie that gets people talking and going to the theater more the second week, which rarely happens, and it now just completely dominating my feed.

So I've really given my thoughts on this documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. What are your thoughts?

Kate Kennedy said it best, my favorite podcaster. She said, was I.

Your favorite podcaster. I can't pick you. Your favorite podcaster.

I'm married to you.

You do hear me do this podcast. I hear you do this podcast a lot.

You were recording something last week and you screamed so loud and I texted you.

It was a couple weeks ago.

And I was like, what is going on? Are you okay? Do we need to like call 911? Life alert? Did you fall down the stairs? No, it was just you recording.

It was during my Street Fighter review though.

Hadouken!

Yeah.

But I did it much louder.

So Kate Kennedy said, was I girl bossed or gaslit? And that's how I felt leaving that.

Okay, so going into this documentary, I want your... relationship with both of the people involved were you a nathan fielder fan.

No i've seen clips of his stuff like when you're watching the rehearsal.

You're out you didn't wasn't into it just not my style were you at all fascinated with the theranos scandal.

Yes i was a little late to the scandal like i don't remember it i remember it happening but i wasn't like all in on it but i felt more educated around the time the dropout came out because i looked into it and Obviously, I was like a science nerd.

I find it fascinating that she did this.

We watched that show together.

Yes.

And then you didn't see the original HBO documentary.

I did not.

So you were going into it with just remembering the news story, watching that TV show, not really being a fan of Nathan Fielder. And you left being a fan of his or just it's more so the subject matter. Like you're not going to go seek out any of his other stuff. But you found this really fascinating.

Probably that. I mean, if he does another documentary, I'll watch it. It was fascinating.

I also had like pop culture knowledge of Elizabeth Holmes. Like I wanted to see her and Jen Shaw in prison together, who's a real housewife, former real housewife of Salt Lake City, who was in jail for embezzling from elderly.

Yeah, I didn't realize how nice this prison is. Was it Bryan, Texas?

Yes.

I am probably way too fascinated by her because I don't really get into true crime that is like blood and guts and Find out how this person was murdered.

Yeah, I don't either.

We're more like a deceptive scam true crime.

Yes.

Like on Netflix.

Yes.

What was the stinky leggings? Lula Rich. Like that is my jam. Like anything where it's somebody getting scammed. I am fascinated by somebody who can just continue to lie and lie and lie. But also at that same time, like build an empire.

Or the catfish one. The unknown number catfish.

Those are fascinating to me. Like people getting scammed, I think... is where I tend to go if I want to watch a documentary like this.

The authors are just a little too sad for me. It just feels a little voyeuristic.

When people are still alive and you think the families are having to watch this and people are discussing it like this. We're discussing a documentary, but I would feel weird discussing a documentary where people died and those families still have to see people talking about it. It's just content.

I can't consume anything... That's about like the Idaho.

Yeah.

That one feels too, didn't really follow along too much with like the Lindsay Clancy. Anything where it's just like, it feels like your entertainment is someone else's tragedy.

Yeah, especially when they're still alive. Like the people involved are still alive.

You know who would have thrived at selling LuLaRoe? Elizabeth Holmes.

She would have been really good at it. She would have been so good. She would have been on that trip to Tijuana. That level whatever trip.

Yeah, the whole Elizabeth Holmes, the way I feel about her now is just, I don't know. I think I love the documentary because it leaves you with a lot of questions where you're questioning the entire, like, what did I just watch? It was also a documentary that got a reaction out of you and I and other people in the theater, like laughing, yelling at the screen, disgusted at the screen.

I can't decide if I'm more disturbed by her or her fiance.

He was.

Very something.

Something.

So to somebody who's still on the fence about seeing this documentary, maybe they think, I don't know if a three hour documentary is for me. What would you say to them?

You have to see it. It doesn't feel like three hours.

It doesn't to me. I know other people have seen it and like, oh, that's definitely three hours. I think if you allow yourself to be immersed in the story, by the time I got to hour two, I had to pee and I'm like, I'm not going to go. I don't want to miss anything.

I went to pee, but I was like, I think I picked good moments. I was like, I can catch back up.

What would you rate? You can see everything.

Four and a half out of five mattresses.

Okay. Four and a half. I went the rare five out of five. It is my second five out of five of the year. and only eight total in the entire time I do this podcast.

My younger brothers went to see it and I woke up. They went to like a late showing and I woke up to a text from my 16 year old brother and it just said that was expletive crazy.

And I laughed. I read it in the middle of the night and I was like, yeah, that is how you feel leaving it.

So yeah, you feel crazy.

You're like, they're crazy. Am I crazy? Is everyone crazy?

You'll think about it for about a week. If you're like me, you'll go and do some searches of finding out different things about like her personality and trying to discover like why she is the way that she is. And also trying to find some sources on things she claims in the documentary.

And then I feel like you learn even just a little bit from her parents. Like I won't give it away, but there's a line where her dad talks about his career and everyone just laughed and you're like, okay, that tracks. Yeah.

It was all the little details for me of Things that I think a normal documentary wouldn't think to put in. But I think through the eyes of Nathan Fielder and his interview style, but also the way he picks up on.

The brain of little cues.

And also his co-director, Lance Oppenheim, who also did primetime. I feel like they put things in that created that kind of gap for me of like, is this reality? Is this all a bit or did they put this in here like specifically like they got this on camera? Like, why did they put this in here?

I do have to say I feel bad for their children. Hmm.

Yeah.

She had those kids like right.

That is the only other dilemma I have in like discussing this on a, on a, like a longer form and in depth of like, man, they're going to have to see all this, but also, I mean, now that, well, yeah, I mean, the documentary.

Yeah.

They're going to, they're going to see everything.

They're going to see everything. Everybody's going to see everything. All right. So that is both of our best. A rare five out of five for me. I'll probably talk about an honorable mention later as we run through all the movies. But for your worst of October, what.

Do you have?

It's so easy. It is the one, the only. Verity.

Oh, no.

By Colleen Hoover.

This is one that I think people thought would have been like your favorite. Just because.

I know I did get a lot of messages and people were like, have you seen it? And I hadn't because we saw it at separate times. You wanted to see it the week and it came out. And I have two friends that we go see all the Colleen Hoover movies together. Listen, I mean, they're working with a Colleen Hoover book to make it a movie. I know it's not like her others, but it's still a Colleen Hoover book. And the like weird voice that they made Anne Hathaway narrate in. And then like, I love Dakota Johnson.

She doesn't really have a great range of emotions as an actress.

In this one she feels very limited I've also like I'm not subscribing to the Dakota Johnson is a bad actor I don't know I don't think she I think a lot of people see this and think that I think her subtlety is maybe taken as bad acting.

I think she's a very sarcastic, funny person, and I think sometimes she's not able to ditch that part of her persona, and so it comes across in more serious roles.

I found her character very interesting. I found this entire movie really entertaining. Is it the best thing I've ever watched?

No.

For me, it wasn't the worst thing I've watched.

Was I entertained?

Sure.

But out of what we watched this month, it was by far my least favorite.

And I don't really think my opinion would change if I read the book. I think me not reading any of the Colleen Hoover books before seeing the movies has kept me kind of in this area where I'm not as affected as other people who read the books and want to see that exact same thing come to life. I don't even know what they're fully about until I go see them.

I did see that she's not doing any more movies. Only because she's writing more books.

Oh yeah, you gotta.

And again.

If you like Colleen Hoover, I am genuinely not trying to yuck your yum. I think that people should read whatever they want. Whatever gets you to pick up a book, put down your phone. It is just personally not for me. And I've read quite a few of them. And each one I read, I'm like, okay, I think I'm good.

But if it gets you.

Into reading, great.

I read a lot of historical fiction. A lot of you were like, I'm not reading any of your historical fiction recs.

That's great.

That's what I enjoy reading, and that's fine.

I still think Anne Hathaway has probably had one of the best years out of any actor putting out five new movies this year.

And doing all of those press tours as well.

Doing so many press tours. Because there was The Devil Wears Prada 2. There was The End of Oak Street.

Mother Mary.

There was Mother Mary.

The Odyssey.

The Odyssey and Very. That is a heavy year.

That is insane.

Out of all those movies, your favorite?

Probably, if I'm going real movie, The Odyssey.

Easy.

But then I loved... Seeing her as Andy Sachs again in Devil Wears Prada.

I also, I think it's now streaming. But Mother Mary, I feel like is a better at-home streaming movie than it was in theaters.

It's a very weird movie.

Because it's very weird. I think even right, well, you kind of miss the spooky window season.

It's like very like avant-garde.

But I feel like her character, like as a pop star, was kind of interesting. And like the wardrobe.

And Oak Street was fun.

Yeah.

It was a good summer movie. Good dino movie.

Yeah, I liked her in that one too.

She really can do no wrong. In my opinion.

I think she is in that, if I had to make a top 10 actors working right now, I think she is definitely hanging around in that top 10.

I mean, if you go back and watch The Princess Diaries, which I did a couple months ago, still stands the test of time.

It's phenomenal.

For my worst of October, I think I'm gonna have to go, hmm, I'm between two. I'm probably gonna go with Matchbox, the movie on Apple TV +.

What even was that movie?

Mattel is trying to create their own kind of cinematic universe. So all the Mattel toys, your Barbies. My problem with Matchbox is it's supposed to be about like the Matchbox cars, the little cars. And then it's more so about this group of friends who get together after somebody dies. And the thing that connected them all, they were like a Matchbox gang where they all had like these toy cars.

But nowhere else in the movie are the cars discussed.

I mean, they drive different cars that are probably associated with like their personality traits that kind of go back to the original thing. But it's not really what I thought it was going to be is I thought it was going to be a group of kids playing with their cars. And then it's just them playing. And the movie is like their imagination. That's what I thought it was going to be like, oh, they're moving this car.

But it's really like, oh, it's John Cena in it. I think that would have been more interesting. The problem here, it's like a family movie. But you have these actors that I don't think kids care about. Aside from John Cena, like you have Jessica Biel, all these older actors in like their 40s.

The guy from the AT & T commercial.

Yeah, that guy. It's not really going to be exciting to kids. It feels weird to make an action movie like this where it's supposed to be like fun, energetic, and it's like a lot of like jokes about them like being older.

Apple doesn't do... movies as well as they do.

Tv shows they do well at getting big a-list stars but the actual movie itself yeah it's like they just sell the poster and that's it.

I think they like sell they sell a concept of a plan with a movie and then once it gets traction and they have people signed on they're like now we'll write the script they're like.

Here is jessica beal and john cena together and you're gonna go watch it it.

Feels like an ai movie Thanks for listening to The Bobbycast.
