Bobby brought up a new museum launching in Vancouver called the Personal Failure Museum. The concept invites people to submit what they consider their biggest personal failures. The museum’s tagline is “Failures Wanted.” The idea is meant to be therapeutic, allowing people to see they aren’t alone by viewing others’ failures instead of only highlight reels on social media.
Bobby said if he had an exhibit in the museum, his first submission would be getting fined one million dollars by the FCC. He called it a major failure that affected him mentally and financially. Another failure Bobby shared came from high school football. As the captain, he made the wrong call during the coin toss, which resulted in his team kicking off both at the start of the game and after halftime. The mistake stuck with him, especially after his coach told him it was the dumbest decision he had ever seen from someone he considered very smart. When asked what she would submit, Amy said her marriage. She said it was something she never expected to fail, even though good things eventually came from it. Bobby said he would put up Amy’s wedding photo as the exhibit, noting that many people would relate to it.
Eddie said his failure would be attempting to eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours. He only made it to 21 and threw up. Bobby suggested the exhibit photo would simply be Eddie eating a hot dog. Eddie also admitted going $40,000 into debt would be another failure. While he eventually paid it off, he said getting into debt was easy and getting out of it was difficult. His exhibit would be a credit card cut in half. Lunchbox's biggest failure was walking into a gas station wearing pantyhose over his face to buy gum. Bobby brought up Lunchbox dedicating three days, renting a tux, and failing to become a contestant on The Price Is Right. Lunchbox said it was something he tried to forget. Another failure Bobby mentioned was Lunchbox not getting a stadium host job for a soccer team after being encouraged to apply. Lunchbox had to create videos and a resume, only to be told the job went to someone already employed there. Bobby also brought up that Lunchbox walked across the stage at college needing only one more class to graduate but never completed it. Lunchbox compared himself to Bill Gates, saying he found his career path and didn’t need school anymore.
Bobby mentioned one section of the museum called the Wall of Rejection, filled with rejected job applications and termination notices. He said he personally had been rejected by 32 radio stations before landing a real job.
