Morning studio. Morning. You know, I still haven't written my speech for tomorrow at graduation at the University of Arkansas. No, not a-oh. What are you waiting on? Yeah, what are you waiting on? It's not that I'm waiting. I do.

And I could go up and do. It's just what area do I want to talk? What's my area? Because I could be kiss the stars, dream a dream, suck on the wind, and hope your hopes go hopi. You know, those are some of those speeches. Suck on the wind? It's just a thing, I say. And so I think I'm just going to be extremely pragmatic.

And I'm just going to lay it to them straight and give them the bones about it. Because most people are so inspirational at graduations that you're like, none of that. Like I feel good, but I didn't learn anything. I think that's probably how I'm going to do it. I'm going to go up and say, okay, hey, stop sucking the wind. Is this an acceptance speech for you or a motivational speech for them? That is a great question. and they gave me no parameters,

and I definitely don't want to be an acceptance speech for me. Okay. Because if I'm going to have a few minutes when they give me an honorary doctorate, I actually want to give back to the people. I don't want to be up there like, thank you. Yeah. Don't do that. Right.

So I will say thank you, but it's like, hey, this is awesome, where you guys are today. Like, this is what I want to tell you about from where you are today to where I am today. Like, I think that's where I want to go. And I'm not speaking for an hour or anything. So I'll talk for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and do my thing. And hopefully people will be like, what I'm talking about. Maybe they leave graduation so early, they're so motivated to get to work. They just walk out before getting their diploma because they're ready to hit it.

Do you know any of the other speeches from like other celebrities that have received honorary doctorates? No. And I don't look because I'll end up accidentally stealing it. Okay. Or hearing a theme being like, oh, that's good. So no, I don't. But that's the situation. Tomorrow's the big day.

Tomorrow's the big day. I'm sorry, Norea, Faville, Arkansas. I'm super excited. I will be getting an honorary doctorate. and that's it. I'm pumped and there we are. I pulled a list of the celebs, like the company that you're joining.

Like you're going to be added to the list of people like, Dolly Parton. She has a doctorate. She does. Dr. Dolly. I didn't know that. From where? Is it say?

Yes. Hers is from Tennessee at Knoxville. Okay. Then there's Darius Rucker. He studied journalism at the University of South Carolina, but he didn't graduate. But he ended up getting a doctorate. So then is he a graduate?

Is he a graduate there now? No. Yeah, well, yeah. He's got a doctor now. Go ahead. Johnny Cash? Oh, that's cool. From where?

Arkansas. Oh, Gardner Webb? Oh, yeah. He's from Arkansas. Are those smaller schools? No, no, no, that's not a dog, idiot. It's a bulldog. I thought you meant, is it an actual?

No, no, the mascot. I was in, yeah. Willie Nelson? What? Now, this is from Boston's Berkeley College of Music. That's awesome. Hemp, you. hemp you is what they call.

All right, finally. And then we know Tim McGrawl. He talked about it on the show recently. His honorary doctorate is from University of Louisiana at Monroe. My secret hope is that we get there and they're presenting this and it's an honorary award. But they get there and they're like, hey, Bobby, come over a second. And I'm like, yeah, what's up?

Hello, fancy chancellor. You know, right? Sure. It's like, we'd like to tell you something. Like, yes, yes, what's up? What'd you like me to do? He goes, we are actually going to remove the honorary part and you're just going to be a doctorate. That'd be amazing.

Like a real doctorate. Yeah. Good luck with that. Thank you. I do it tomorrow. I'm super pumped. A little nervous, but I'm very excited. We're going to head over. There's a fancy dinner tonight. So we're going to fly over and do the dinner with like 40 people. And then do the thing tomorrow and give a little speech. And that's it.

And I will officially be the guy that can make your prescriptions. Whatever you need. Do you have tickets to graduation like, you know, a normal graduate? Do you get to give them to friends and family? Yes. That is so ridiculous. That's so ridiculous. Do you have family coming?

Just Caitlin's parents. Oh, my goodness. Because they live close. They're an hour away from Fayetteville. Yeah, that's it. Nobody, they all heard lunchbox laughing about it. So I'm not coming to that. Fair Harbor makes the world's most comfortable beachware.

It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. So my husband and I had an argument last night and wanted to get your opinion on it. The argument started after I told him I wanted to join a little golf club by our house, which we just moved into. He didn't understand why I wanted to join a golf club when neither of us play golf. I told him it was so we can make new friends, and then he got totally defensive after that.

He said at 40 years old, he doesn't have the energy. to make new friends. He's happy with the friends we have who live 45 minutes away and he's not interested in meeting new people. Is anyone too old to make new friends? Does he think we're going to stay in the house for the rest of our lives

and do nothing but hang out with each other? I told him I'm joining the club with or without him and now we're not talking. What should we do? Signed, friendless and 40. That's funny. You're never too old to make friends. It gets harder to make friends

because you just have more going on. think the best times to make friends are probably when you're a kid and then when you're old because you don't have nothing going on well because you don't have work if you're retired you don't have kids in the house I think otherwise it's it's tough yeah I mean I'm 42 I mean I've probably made two or three friends in the past eight or nine years like friends that I would go I need your help can you drop everything and come that kind of friend so you're never too old to make friends it does get harder to make friends your husband's the Grinch what's happening It's not even Christmas.

The guys are, ah, bah, humbug. Man, I related to him. I know, but you shouldn't not do it just for the sake of, we can't. Yes, it's harder. Go get in a group. Go get in a golf group. You'll make new friends, especially if you don't have any friends where you are. Like, you have to have some sort of group, some sort of social group, or you're going to go crazy.

So you're never too old to make friends. It's harder to make friends. I don't think you're going to make a lot of new friends, but I admire you for going and dipping your toe in that water. Amy? Yeah, I think there's something like deeper here for y'all are, like, literally not talking over this. We need to go. We need to go have a little meeting,

maybe get a third party involved and like, see what's going on. I get not wanting to meet new friends. He feels content with where he's at, but he also see your side and want to come alongside you and be like, okay, if this is important to you, then it's important to me

and I'll agree to go to the club with you every once in a while. Yeah, and he'll probably be the one to make a best friend. Yeah. I'll be embarrassed about it. Yeah, but Eddie, you have no interest friends? No, well, what I see,

I think the husband is talking about is yes, you're too busy to make friends at this age, but also you're going to spend money to join a club. But I think she just wants to join a club or something to do. Yeah. You're going to spend money to do stuff. Yeah. I'm more of the organic way of making friends.

Kind of like how we've done it. I'm like you. I've probably made two or three friends in the last eight years too, because we didn't really try. But if you don't make them at work, if you're an adult, it's hard to meet people. It really is. I get it.

I get it. I feel like when I see Eddie is always walking around trying to make friends with everybody. I talk to everyone. I think Eddie's just trying to be liked. More than friends. Oh, are we getting deep here? What do you mean? What's going on?

Eddie just likes to be light. You know? More than form long lasting friendships. But then Eddie, let's ask you this. Like if it was something that was important to your wife, would you try to see her side of it and make an effort? Totally. But a golf club, to me, sounds way too expensive to try to make friends.

But you don't know. It could be cheap. And they might be able to... It may not be a country club. All right. If it's less than $10 a month, I'm in. Okay. What are you going to kind of fitness?

That's what I'm saying. It can't be cheap. Also, money's relative. We have no idea their situation. It might not be a thing for them. Yeah, they emailed it on gold paper. That makes no sense. All right, if you want to email us, Morgan, what's the address? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, close it up.

We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Enjoy more sunshine and less time in the checkout line with Hello Fresh.

In 1753, Benjamin Franklin was granted a master of arts degree, which was from Harvard. And that's the first honorary degree they gave out. And then the first female recipient from Harvard was Helen Keller in 1955. A little bit of fun facts for Dr. Bobby Bones. I appreciate that. I'm not officially a doctor until tomorrow. We have to wait. Yeah, I don't want to have any sort of false. I don't want to be acting like something I'm not.

But you're in such good company. Yeah, me and Ben Franklin and Helen Keller. Yeah, pretty much. It's amazing. But yeah, tomorrow, that is when I am presented my honorary doctor. And you know, if you want to treat me different, I would just say please do. You take insurance? I don't.

Not yet. I don't. All right. Speaking of Fun fact Friday, let's go over and get it in with Amy. Fun fact Friday. All right, your top five fun facts of the week as found by Amy. Let's go. Number five.

So when stage coaches were standard in the 1800s, the driver would typically assign his passenger seat to an armed partner whose duty was to keep thieves away. hence the expression writing shotgun. Oh, that's pretty cool. That's cool. I didn't know why that was that. So they would literally have a shotgun to shoot people in case they stole. Wow.

That's pretty cool. Kind of tough back then. Well, and then you get to the whole rules of shotgun nowadays. Where it's, I don't believe you can call shotgun until you see the car. That's a good rule. Yeah. Otherwise, you could call it the day before. Or can you call it as soon as midnight strikes and you walk in the room and go, shotgun?

I had friends that did it like all-time shotgun. You're like, you're stupid. You can't call. You can't call all time. And then I would call Infinity Shotgun to beat that. Well, I love seeing the car. That's a good job. Yeah, you have to see the car to call shotgun.

I think that's the general rule. That's a good one there. Number four. So if you microwave Pop-Tarts instead of putting them in the toaster, Kellogg's has official instructions for this. Go. You put it in the microwave for exactly three seconds. Then cool briefly before handling.

Three. Three. Why, it's not going to get it hot? Cool briefly. That, like, just nudges it to go, hey, you're about to get warm. It doesn't even heat it up. I don't know, because some stuff heats up so quick. That's stupid.

That's stupid. Number three. Expiration dates on bottled water have nothing to do with the water. It's the plastic, which will eventually start leaking chemicals into the water. That's interesting. I don't know if it's fun, but that's definitely interesting. I've always wondered why I can't drink the water after a certain date, but it's mostly I'm going to die of plastic cancer.

That's what they say. If it sits in the car and it gets hot too. Not even expiration. Right. But if it like melts, it goes in a plastic cancer. the water and you can get sick off of that. Dang, okay. Number two.

Longer basketball shorts became popular after Michael Jordan asked champion, the manufacturer of NBA uniforms, to please make the shorts longer so that he could bend down and hold on to them when he was out of breath. Because his legs were all sweaty and he couldn't like, you know, but if they're longer, then he could rest on them. I'm big fan along shorts. And they're kind of out of style now in general. The more shorter short is in style just all the way across the board.

but I like the long one so long that they still go below my knees. And my wife says, I wear 90s church league shorts for all things at this point. She looks like you're playing a 90s church league. Like, let's join that a little bit. All right, let's go, one more. Number one. Shaquille O'Neal was one of the original investors in Google and vitamin water. But he straight up passed on Starbucks because he didn't drink coffee.

Yeah, but we don't want to lose the headline here. Did he make so much money off of Google and vitamin water? Oh, I'm sure. I don't have the numbers, but. That would be... Being an original investor? As long as he didn't sell early, he probably made so much...

Like, so much more than he would have ever played... Paying basketball. That's crazy. All right, 50 cent was a big vitamin water guy. Made like hundreds of million dollars off of vitamin water. All right, that's what's up.

Fun fact Friday. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So Ruby Duren is in her early 20s and all she really cares about is going to college. Well, Then she finds out she has stage five chronic kidney disease,

and she's going to need a kidney transplant. Doctors are like, hey, you might be on the donor list for about 10 years. So that's... I've not heard of stage five things. I mean, rarely you hear of stage five. So severe, yeah. Yeah. So she took to TikTok, and that's where Sandra Leon comes into the picture.

She saw her TikTok post, you know, saying, hey, I need a kidney. And she felt moved to go get tested. They're around the same age, and she was a match. The surgery went down. And Ruby says she didn't just gain a new kidney. She gained a long time or a lifelong friend. So pretty cool. So many cool stories from TikTok and people just being like, I need this.

I got an old Bronco, and I cannot find the right winchel wipers for it. Maybe I just get on TikTok. Did you get on TikTok? I'm about to have to. Do a little dance and at the end go, I need winchial wipers for 704 Bronco. If she can get a kidney, I can for sure get those. That's a great story. So glad it happened.

Glad they're now friends. Or, that's probably a tough one to be friend-friends, but they're like, do you feel the pressure to hang out with them, get them for Christmas? No, they really do enjoy each other. I mean, part of your body's in them. Yeah. That sounds weird. Well, that did sound weird.

Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Spring is finally here to stay.

The swimsuit issue is featuring a model who is showing her C-section scar. I saw that pop up on my Instagram and it's her, she's like the front of the beach and she has her swimsuit and her C-section score though is it's not where I thought it would be. Yeah, she's pulling it. She has to pull her swimsuit down.

I thought it was like, okay, you can make fun of me if you want. But Eddie, you've told me that they kind of take it from your side. No, no, no, it's really low. I know where the baby comes from. Under the belly. But I didn't know that's where they cut you. Yeah, that's where they cut you. Did you think they cut you on literally, like, on the side?

Based on what Eddie's told me. I've never told you that, so no. Bull crap. You must have imagined that. No. You've said many times your wife had C-section. Yes, two of them. That's the only person I know that's talked about it in that, like up and down.

Like, if you go armpit to hip. You thought it opened up like on the ribcage side? Below, yeah. I didn't know. But Eddie was like they go in, they take it. I didn't know. No, man, the baby's much lower than that. But you're telling me, though, if it's not C-section, the baby comes out of what?

Uh-huh. We'll talk later about that. This is how I learned. Okay. Obviously, they are trying to authentically show the beauty of motherhood and normalized conversations about postpartum recoveries and bodies. Yes. And the scar, I didn't even know what they were doing at first.

I just saw a woman taking a picture on the beach, and I was like, okay, flip through, because I don't even like looking at pretty girls. And so I was flipping through it. And then I saw in the box it said, I was like, oh, good for her. That's cool that they're highlighting that. All right, go ahead. Well, Jessica Beal shared Justin Timberlake's advice for keeping a marriage alive.

So, guys, take notes. She says, well, keep dating. Jessica said that this means to make time for each other, keep making each other a priority, and do the things that you love together. Okay. Sounds pretty generic. Yeah.

All right. So funny story coming out of Waffle House. After a worker allegedly walked out on the job, the customers in the restaurant, they were really hungry. So they just decided to make their own food. Yeah, that's pretty legit. Can you do that? Well, he was the only one working there. And quit.
