On April 8, 2009 he appeared on the CBC Radio One program Q, hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, with the rest of his musical group The Boxmasters.
During the first half of the interview, Billy Bob sounded nervous or confused and gave erratic answers, such as answering direct questions with "I don't know". When asked about his musical tastes and influences as a child, he gave his longest answer, but it was about his favorite "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine.
He also stated that he had told the show's producers to not ask any questions about his career as a screenwriter and actor.
However, Ghomeshi did mention it in the introduction of the show, and this appeared to have upset Thornton. Later Thornton complained that Canadian audiences wouldn't get up and move, saying that Canadians were like mashed potatoes without gravy. This caused an outpouring of criticism from CBC listeners. The full video of the interview is currently available on YouTube.
