There\u2019s something about Blake Shelton<\/a> working the land that Gwen Stefani<\/a> absolutely loves, and Blake\u2019s latest story reveals just how sweet she is about it.<\/p>\n Shelton was a recent guest on the Michael Waddell podcast, where he and Waddell shared a hilarious \u2014 and unexpectedly sweet \u2014 story about Stefani\u2019s admiration for Shelton.<\/p>\n Waddell, a longtime friend and hunting buddy of Shelton\u2019s, set the scene: \u201cWe was out there turkey huntin\u2019. That night she cooked an Italian meal for us, it was great. But there was something Gwen said, and I don\u2019t think she would mind me saying this.\u201d<\/p>\n Waddell continued setting the scene: He and Shelton were getting ready to help Stefani plant the flowers she\u2019d picked out for her yard. Shelton stepped away for a moment to fire up the skid steer and get it ready for the job at hand.<\/p>\n \u201cYou walked away and Gwen just watched you,\u201d Waddell told him. \u201cYou went over there, cranked that tractor, put some kind of implement on it and backed it up, and she\u2019s just watching.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong>\u00a0Blake Shelton Recalls Special Moment With Gwen Stefani as \u2018One of the Joys of My Lifetime\u2019 [Watch]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n As Waddell kept going, sharing a story Shelton had never heard before, Shelton lit up, clearly eager to hear where this was headed.<\/p>\n Waddell says he turned to Stefani and, \u201cI said, \u2018Ol\u2019 boy can run that skid steer,\u2019\u201d and Stefani didn\u2019t miss a beat.
