This person, you literally can't break them.
And he's trying to prove that with a new show on Nat geo
everybody knows him from so many things, really I've stapled
on syndicated radio.
For many, many years, he won dancing with the stars
but again, he's putting himself to the test and I imagine
right, and learning a lot about himself more than just
the physical and a new show from Nat geo called
breaking Bobby bones.
He tries out the most extreme jobs.
They're really a mashup in some cases of jobs
and adventures, the most extreme jobs across the country.
And he's hoping to still come out and walk in one piece.
I would imagine he's probably already been injured...
Not sure how that working out for him.
On the job.
We'll see.
Please welcome Bobby bones to our show.
Hi my friend!
Hey
Bobby, you must be driving your insurance broker nuts.
How you really not trying to break your bones?
Or is that the whole point of the show to like
see what, how we can mangle Bobby bones on the
Show? Well, I, you know, when I created the show
I really wanted to focus
on people who have done some really great things.
Meaning they've had setbacks in their life
and they're now showing what they can do.
Even beyond that.
And then it turns out they're doing all these crazy things.
So I thought, well, what if we make a show where I go
out and I'm attempting to do what they're doing
while also telling their story, like
I love fighting for the underdog.
You know, at one point I was the underdog
and you know, I'm doing, I'll say this
I got injured one time, pretty bad.
Other than that, I'm doing pretty good.
We do have two clips.
The first one is the rope work in that, in the grand canyon.
I don't know that I could watch this, but let's roll it.
I kind of want to see it, but I'll do this thing.
So I'm Gonna open this.
Oh my god!
Oh, it's just, I don't look plumbing.
That is my nightmare.
Okay. My leg is shaking like crazy.
I'm a lot,
Okay. I'm a lot scared.
You got this.
Here we go.
One,
two.
Oh, oh, okay.
Uh oh.
Go on and sit.
Now I felt like something undid that shouldn't
have undid.
What the, what is happening here?
All right, Bobby, stop right there.
Stop. Stop right there.
Whoa, what's going on?
I got feeling scared
I am so uncomfortable.
Well, and for me too
I am really only definitely afraid of one thing Heights.
And so what he does is he goes
to these extreme Heights and we had to clean the bottom side
of the sky bridge over the grand canyon.
So I'm literally on a rope 4,000 feet above the ground.
And that's what I'm scared of the most.
So that to me, like my heart raced again
watching it, that was, that's tough to watch it.
I never watched the episode back honestly.
It's like, wow, I don't like Heights.
I, I used to be afraid of relationships, commitment
but now, you know, I have a fiance
and we just got engaged and getting married this summer.
So that's my two.
I have to now only have one.
I left that show again, not only inspired
but physically, you know, I was a little hurt
but also just experiencing their stories.
You know, I think another one of the clips that I sent over
to you guys, there's this guy named Lonnie who was
in the military.
He got out of the military and was hunting with his friend.
He got shot in the face.
He lost all his vision.
Blackout blind, took a gunshot to the face and he's still
kayaks like whitewater kayaking.
And so this isn't like rafting and I've been on one
of those big rafts where you have your balance
and who knows, but this is whitewater kayaking
but he does it blind in really wild areas of the country.
I can't wait to see this.
Let's let's take a look.
A look time to see if my training will pay off.
Even though everything I've learned
just went out the window.
This is not like the training, getting ready
get in a little bit of current Bobby,
getting a little current Bobby.
I have lost all balance has got a hit you from the right,
so you're going to be going to the left.
We've got to hit it.
Huh? Not yet.
Am I going the right way guys
Ken right drop in now.
I'm not sure I'm ready
for this, but there is no turning back now.
And they cut it off.
But I was wondering, I know, but that's the whole point
we're trying to get people to watch.
I haven't seen these episodes back.
I'll watch them.
So I was like, I wonder what happens.
I wonder if I live.
I wore his blackout goggles and it's wild.
And just, you know, as you know, Rachel
you to put yourself in somebody else's shoes
it makes you respect the shoes that you live
in and also try to help others, you know
going through many, many things.
And so I'm just so pumped.
The show has been airing.
I'm so excited that that Nat geo said, Hey, we'll
we'll make a show with you.
And the Disney plus has it on as well.
So I'm very, very grateful for just, you know
being able to exist and tell their stories.
