dot E-D-U-S-Military. Oh, welcome to a big Friday show. Morning studio. Morning. You know, I still haven't written my speech for tomorrow at graduation at the University of Arkansas. No, not uh-oh.

What are you waiting on? Yeah, what are you waiting on? Yep's that. 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, like 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, if I'm talking about. Maybe they'll 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. 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 morning. Bud Walt Norena, Fayetteville, Arkansas. I'm super excited. I will be getting an honorary doctorate and that's it. I'm pumped and there we are. Well, 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 there now? No. Yeah. He's got a doctor now.

Go ahead. Johnny Cash. Oh, that's cool. Where? Gardner Webb. Oh, Gardner Webb. He's from Arkansas. Are those bulldogs?

No, no, that's not a dog, idiot. What is Gardner, Webb? It's a bulldog. I thought you meant, is it an actual? No, the mascot. I wasn't, yeah. Willie Nelson? What?

Now, this is from Boston's Berkeley College of Music. That's awesome. Hemp you. Hemp you. Hemp you. That's 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'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. Oh, yeah. 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. You got to have a seat. 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, like, we're not coming to that. All right, time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. So my husband and I had an argument last night and I 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. I think the best times to make friends are probably when you're a kid and then when you're old. When you got 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 tough. 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 me, Christmas. The guy's a bumbug. 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 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. 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. If y'all are like literally not talking over this, we need to go, we need to go have a little meeting, maybe you 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. And 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 new friends. Oh, are we getting deep here? What do you mean?

What's going on? Eddie just likes to be liked, 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 But you don't know, it could be cheap. I don't know what kind of neighborhood they live in.

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? It'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 you.

Now it's time to close Bobby's mailback. Yeah. Tractor supply can help you make the most of your property or yard. Whether you're working on your garden or you're ready to upgrade your outdoor kitchen, you'll find everything you need at tractor supply for life out here. Visit your local store today. Here is a fun fact from Billy in Missouri. This message is for Dr. Bobby Bones.

It's a fun fact Friday in 1753, Benjamin Franklin, was granted. at 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 doctorate. 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 18th. the driver would typically assign his passenger seat to an armed partner whose duty was to keep thieves away. Hence the expression riding 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 and you're like you're stupid. You can't call you can't call all-time. And then I'll call infinity shotgun to beat that. Well, I love seeing the car. That's a good one. 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. been 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. Yeah. Because 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 into 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 it's, longer than 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. Let's join it up 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... Play in 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 Fat Friday. Bobby Bonesham. The latest from national. Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two's 30 Second Skinny. John Party released a new song called Filler Up.

Filler up again. I need another ramp. Yeah, I'm cutting loose because I'm all wound up and I want to knock them down. Morgan Wallen shared a new song called You Proof. I need something you prove. Brett Eldridge released a new song called Wait Up for Me. I get my head. You won't even.

El King shared a collaboration with Dirk's Bentley called Worth a Shot. I'm Morgan. That's your skinny. 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 must. 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. Right out of the game. 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. You get on TikTok? There you go.

I'm about to have to. Do a little dance and at the end go, I need a winchial wipers for 704 Bronco. If she can get a kidney, I can for sure get those. That's a great story though. 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 Christmas games? No, they really do enjoy each other. I mean, part of your body's in them. Yeah.

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. Because you've talked, 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 and that, like up and down, like, if you go armpit to hip. You thought it opened up like on the rib cage side?

Down 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 stepped 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 Beale 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. And they were like, well, what do we do? The batter's right there. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. Yeah. You don't want to have to do that.

But if you talk about the greatest TikTok video. Yeah, totally. The day they quit. And Waffle House, legit waffles. Oh, the best. Like cheap, but the best. Oh. So that's funny.

And my favorite thing is not the Waffles at Waffles House. It's the hash browns and you get them smothered covered and peppered. But you like the smothered cover pepper, not the hash brown is what you just said. Okay. So it's not really. All right, that's it. I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Say home it's something good. Ron Brooks is a double amputee who's been singing the Star Spangled Manor at Philadelphia 76ers games for years. And so he was warming up before their latest home game during the playoffs. And the 76ers bring out a drum line.

And they surprised him with a brand new wheelchair. It's a thank you. Oh, that's awesome. And drum lines are awesome. Of all the lines, drum lines are up there. It's one of my favorite lines. And Nick Cannon, in that movie drumline, that's good too. That's good one.

I watched this other day for the first time ever. Yeah, pretty good. All right, good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's go over and get in the morning corny. The morning corny. Who is the most lonely billionaire?

Who's the most lonely billionaire? Alone musk. A lone. That's a stretch. You're really reaching there. Hey, there's something there, though. All lone. Like Elon, all lone.

A lone musk. That was. the morning corny. All right, let's go over and talk to Avery and Austin, who's on the phone. Avery, appreciate you calling. What's going on, Avery? We have a question for lunchbox. What happened with the car?

Oh, there's a car parked in front of your house. The guy left his car in front of he's been there for a month. You said you were going to call and get it moved by today. What did you do? Well, good news, guys. I called, got the sticker put on it. So they came and put like a, it's like a pre-ticket. It's like a tape sticker that says this car has certain

amount of time to move. It's been, and next day, Locksmith was there to open the guy's car, and it's moved. What do you mean? Moved? Toad? No, no, no, moved. Remember he said he lost his key off the key ring the very next day? Well, maybe he wasn't lying because Locksmith came out and made a new key for his car,

and then I helped him, me and another guy helped him push it. Oh, you brought a buddy just in case he beat you out? I like that. A bigger guy. No, because it's very heavy. A car is hard to push, so me and my neighbor pushed it in front of the. of his house. So the car has been moved the two houses down that it deserves to be. Was the neighbor weird toward you since you've talked about it on the air so many times?

He was just like, hey, man, I'm sorry, man. You know what I mean? Times been tough, you know, with COVID and my job and, you know, made a bunch of excuses. I'm like, look, man, I just want the car moved. Car's gone now. Car is gone. Now it is in front of his house, his problem. Still doesn't run, I guess, but we pushed it and it was uphill to push it. That's hard. Probably both ways in the snow, right? Yeah, yeah. No shoes. All right, Avery, appreciate that update because I didn't know it either, so thanks for asking.

You're welcome. Thank you, guys. Tell your daughter we say hello, please. Oh, there she is there. Hello, daughter. All right, have a good day, guys. Yeah, she's right here. We're heading in the school. We're sitting outside for school right now, and she's like, don't I have to talk to them. Oh, well, go learn. Don't wait. Go learn. Be educated. All right, bye, guys.

The General Auto Insurance Services Inc. and Insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee, some restrictions apply. We're about to talk to Craig Morgan, who I just love as a person. He's been on this new reality show.

He's got a new tour. For example, when I give you Craig Morgan songs that are amazing, that's what I love about Sunday from 2004. Redneck Yacht Club from 2005. International Harvester, James. He's got so many, right? But here's what we're going to do. He's about to be on the phone.

I'm going to roll the dice. Whatever the number is, that's how many words you have to put in a question to ask him. So if it's two, you can only ask him a question with two words. And everybody has to have a question. Oh, gosh. Okay? Yep. Here we go.

Amy. Six. Doesn't seem that hard. That's good. You have to ask him a six-worded question. Perfect. Eddie. Come on.

One. Oh, come on. You want to see it? This is ridiculous. He's not even know what to say. The dice don't lie. That's yours. Great.

Lunchbox. Two. Oh, easy. That's easier than one. You good? Don't do that one, though. No, I didn't even think about that. Okay, so you all have your numbers.

And you can have multiple questions, but Eddie, one, lunchbox two, Amy, six. Yeah. Okay. When can I ask the question? I'll come to you and be like, hey, Eddie, That's a question for you. It can't be in the middle of a sentence. Because that would help.

What do you mean? Run it by me. Like if he's talking about like, oh, I'll talk about it. Oh, man, I was out on the road yesterday. Where? Got it. Got the question. That's funny.

No. Okay. Okay. Moments away from Craig Morgan. Ray's talking to him right now. The Friday morning conversation with Craig Morgan. There he is right now on the phone. And I tell you, Craig, I saw that you announced all these concert dates.

And it made me think, I haven't talked to Craig in probably a few months. So one, I wanted to get you on the show because I just love you so much and talk about your tour. And then two, I just, as I was thinking about you last night, I have a lot of questions that I've never asked to you. So welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, my friend. Thank you, bud. Thanks for having me back. Where are you now?

I'm actually out in Dixon, Tennessee right now, buying tomato plants. Buying tomato plants for what? For your house here? For my garden, yeah. So you're not at, what's the deal on you here versus Alaska? Oh, that's more wintertime. You go to Alaska in the winter? I think it would be the opposite. Yeah, most people think that. Yeah, we spend our summers down near Florida.

We have a place down there, and we spend our winters over in Alaska. I feel like I would run from Alaska in the winter. Okay, so here we go, Craig. Before we get to the tour and the meat and potatoes of this interview, I have a few questions that I was thinking about because you at one time were a police officer, and I wonder, did you ever sing in your uniform with the badge on? Yeah, I probably sang to myself a lot. Do you think that you could have been the singing sheriff, like on TikTok?

If that would have happened 25 years later, if maybe you're Craig the singing sheriff, and that's how you got your deal? I'm going to say no. I was just too focused on doing that job. Only when I was riding around by myself or park somewhere maybe listening to something, sing along with the radio did I sing otherwise. I was focused on situational awareness. Yeah, I know you say that, but I don't know.

What about, did you have to get pepper sprayed to be a cop? Yes. What's your memories with that? I'd rather be tased three times as opposed to have to do pepper spray once. It's that bad. Why? It's just brutal, man. It takes forever. You know, the tasing's over pretty quick.

It hurts really bad initially. Put you to your knees and, you know, but the spray stays with you for some time. Well, I thought I would rather be sprayed than tase, but I guess now I'll choose. the other option. All right, bring it in. We're going to do it on the phone now. He's going to listen in. Craig Morgan's on with us right now. The tour is happening. Tickets at Craigmorgon. You're going to go October 19th all the way through the middle of November. When you go out and do this tour, like what's, are you doing all the hits, Craig? I'm going to be honest. I'm not doing them all. There's a few that we don't do because I opt to do some of the new stuff, new

material. And we have fun with it. You know, we might do a cover or two. I just want everybody to come enjoy the show. Now, having said that, If we're in a place and, you know, we're good on time and someone yells out a particular song, the guys are prepared to play all the hits. In fact, they're probably more prepared than I am. I don't remember all the words sometimes. Will you play, that's what I love about Sunday, though? Oh, for sure.

Okay, that's all I really wanted to know. I just wanted to ask it in a nicer way. If I came to your show and you didn't play, that's what I love about Sunday, I might walk out. Oh, that's right. I agree. Hey, I agree with you. If I went to a show and the ticker artist didn't sing a big, fat hit that they had, I don't know that I would say.

I'd be kind of ticked off. So the problem is, you know, I had some songs that were hits that were just kind of like, oh, so-so hit. Somebody. That so-so hit was real important to someone coming. So I've gotten text. I can't believe you didn't do whatever, you know. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry.

We only had so much time. What about International Harvester? Yeah, for sure. Okay, good. All right, we're good then. I want to ask for a refund. We're all good. Mike, here's my second question for you.

Craig Morgan's on with us. You guys can get tickets to his tour. Just go to his website, Craigmorgan.com. What I'd like to do, because I know what you love about Sunday, and I'm going to sing this to you, this question, I'd like to know what you love about the other days. Here we go. What do you love about Mondays?

Go ahead, Craig. Monday is my Sunday. Oh, because it's like a day off. It's like his day. Correct. All right, I'll start this to another one. What do you love about Tuesdays? Steak night.

Okay, I like it, I like it. We're right to the point. Every Tuesday. Every Tuesday. You have steak every Tuesday? Why Tuesday? Every Tuesday. I just what me and my wife have been doing. Okay, all right, all right.

Let's try the next one. What do you love about Wednesdays? I have no idea. I couldn't tell you what I do on a Wednesday. Okay, okay, okay. Amy, you take Thursday. Go ahead. What do you love about Thursdays?

That's when I get on the bus and head your way. Oh, that's good. That's pretty good. We only got two more days here. What do you love about Fridays? That's when I get to stand on my stage. Okay, we're good.

Now he's got to feel of it. We're singing the song with each other. Good, one more. What do you love about Saturday? Bike ride and run before I play. Oh, every Saturday you go get a bike ride. And run. Oh, triathlon, basically.

You ever wrecked before a show? Oh, yeah. Every show. Every show. He's like, yeah, every show, every Saturday. No, but Saturday, I do a long ride. How long is that? 50 plus.

Wow. Are you not tired when you get on stage? No, not at all. It gives me energy. I walk on the treadmill before a show, and I'm like, I can't even do it. All right, Craig Morgan is on with us. What we're going to do in a second. we're going to play a new unreleased song that Craig has sent up.

I haven't even heard it yet, but we're going to play that. We're going to talk about it. The rest of the show have questions for you as well that they have prepared that probably are not as stupid as mine where I sing them to you. And Craig will be in Green Bay October 19th, Mason City, Iowa on October 20th, and Wisconsin Dell's October 21st. And you can find shows at Craig Morgan.com. The Friday morning conversation with Craig Morgan.

Hey, Craig, what is this unreleased song that I have here? I have not heard it yet. I'm excited you haven't heard it yet. It's called Make a Man. It is unreleased. The label I can tell you right now is probably not real excited about the fact that we're playing this right now. They want to, you know, they got a plan. They want to do all this stuff.

But I'm so excited about the song. I think it's a big hit. I think it's something that everybody's going to like. I'm hoping anyway. So you call Make a Man. Is there anything you want to tell me about the song before we hit play? It's one of the songs that talks about how, and you know, it says, the title is make a man, it talks about how this is what it takes to make a man,

but it's really not, I think this is a universal song, as much as it talks about the man. It's just how you make a human, how you become grown and, you know, you just have to deal with stuff. It's just one of those songs, and it's just, man, I just feel like it's really powerful. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Fair Harbor makes the world's most comfortable beachwear. Say goodbye to mesh lining.

It's the new song, Make a Man that is not released. You can't even stream it or buy it. We just tease you.

We have it. Ha, ha, you don't. There you go. That's how you do it. I'm sure the label loves that. Craig Morgan's on. He is touring a couple more of the shows. Bristol, Tennessee on October 29th.

Jackson, Mississippi, on November 4th. Now, the show would like to ask you a question. Up first is Amy, my co-host. Amy Craig Morgan's on. What would you like to ask him? Hey, Craig. So, Hi, Amy.

Hi. How are you feeling right now? I feel great. There you go. If you're referring to the tour, I'm excited about it. I'm excited to get out there and play some of this new music, one of which is the new song that you guys just played some other new things. I got something I just wrote I'm going to be doing out there that ain't even on.

I mean, the label don't even have a, we don't have a demo, much less an album cut on it. I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. I like that Craig's like breaking stuff now. Let's just make one up right now and sing it. He's like, we'll do one. Okay, Amy, that's a great question. Pretty generic.

Yeah. Do you have another one? I do. Okay, here we go. What did you eat for breakfast? Three cups of coffee. That's it? That's my breakfast.

I generally don't eat breakfast. Wow. They say it's the most important meal today, but I'm in different. Not for you. Yeah. Let's go over to Eddie, our video producer, Eddie, Craig Morgan's on. What would you like to ask him? Yeah, why?

I don't eat breakfast because I don't need it for fuel. See, for me, I'll approach food a lot differently than most people. A lot of people approach food as an experience and so on and so forth. For me, food is fuel. That's it. Not to say that I don't enjoy my steak on Tuesday nights. Yeah, Tuesday night, obviously. But I'm a card guy.

I kind of watch my car is pretty close, and I've learned that I don't really need as much as my mind once told me I did. Lunchbox, one final question for Craig Morgan. I want to ask him about this TV show he did, but go ahead. What you're watching? Dude, I'm hooked on this Netflix, making Anna or something like that. Inventing. Oh, inventing Anna, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, love it. I'm pretty hooked on that. I know, it's the weirdest thing, but I'm enjoying that show quite a bit. Hey, tell us about the show that you did where you were out in the jungles and Panama. Like, how hard was this show really? You've done it all. How hard was it for you? What was that experience like?

Beyond the Edge, the show. I mean, I'm going to be honest. For me, it wasn't that difficult. Like you said, I've been there, I've done that, and still do. In fact, when we talked about it, you know, I go to Alaska and live off-grid for two or three months. Now, I am in a cabin, and I do have a lot of luxuries there because I do off-grid living, not survival living, and there's a difference. But this was more of a survival thing, but it was something I was well prepared for. I've been in Panama before.

I'm well aware of the food resources that are available. I'm well aware of all of the things that want to bite you, sting you, eat you. So I had a lot of working knowledge. So for me, it was a lot of fun. It was like taking a survival vacation. But I can't say the same for everyone else. And not that they weren't any more capable. They just had never experienced that.

I mean, you know, so it was. And on top of that, it was like running a triathlon every day and then going back and trying to find food and water and do all the things that you had to do to get through the day. Lunchbox, one final question for Craig Morgan? Favorite city. Oh, my goodness, this is tough. I'm going to have to say, mine out North Dakota.

Hey, I loved it there. Super nice people. It's cold. Craig likes cold. Yeah. I don't like cold. Eddie, one final question for Craig Morgan. Go ahead before we go.

Where? He said, mine out North Dakota. Yeah. Yeah. Eddie doesn't listen. All right, listen, there he is. I'm going to say it one more time. Craig Morgan, he is out.

He is doing shows. I hope you guys go. And if you see him on a Saturday night, know that he has ridden his bike 50 miles and also done a run. Before that show. And if you happen to run him to him on a Tuesday afternoon, just know he's going to be eating steak later that night.

I feel like we've learned so much about him. So go to Craigmorgan.com to get tickets. Is there anything that I missed? I mean, I'd also encourage you guys to read his new memoir that came out, God, family, and country that came out to end of last year, like September October, so that's out. Oh, oh, it's this September? Oh, I was wondering why

because I hadn't read it yet, and I was like, I'm not a good friend. So it's this September. Trust me, you'll get a book. Okay, good. I thought I missed it, and I was just, you'll get it before it's available, bud. All right. Last thing, I remember now what triggered this call. I saw you were doing your tour, and long ago I said, hey, Craig, we really

need a tour t-shirt. And Craig promised me a tour t-shirt, and you know who doesn't have a tour t-shirt from Craig Morgan? Come on. You know who still doesn't have it? Me. That's right. And he asked him, who. No, I'm good. That's all I'm saying. I'm still shirtless, Craig.

I have to give you one of the older ones. That's right. Yeah. Vintage. They're hard to find. These guys, all of my guys, you're not going to believe this because, of course, you ask this question now. They have literally been on Etsy and everywhere trying to buy up old Craig Morgan T-shirts. So you're saying they've been looking for me one or looking for you.

to have old ones. Looking for one for your wife. That's right. That's who it's for. Yes, okay. I mean, I can do that. I go to Etsy and try to find one. Okay.

No, no, no. I got your t-shirt coming. And we'll make sure you get one of the new, both of you have one, and you'll have to wear it on the show the New God Family Country Tour t-shirt. Okay, we're there. We cannot wait to see you in town here,

but Craig Morgan's all over. You guys go to Craigmorgon.com. The book comes out in September, which I was very confused why. I thought it was this past September, and I thought Craig and I weren't near as close because he never sent me a book. Other than that, hey man, good luck with those tomato plants.

And, you know, I love you, and I'll see you soon. Thanks a bunch. I look forward to seeing you. All right. Craig Morgan, everybody. Everything is better electrified. Hyundai has the widest range of electrified vehicles on the market, including the first ever Tucson and Santa Fe plug-in hybrid EVs.

He carries his guitar, goes in and out of hospitals, sings to patients. He's 96 years old. For the past three decades, he's been volunteering his time to sing to patients and hospital staff

in need of a pick-me-up. Last month, he was awarded with a special medal for volunteers to recognize his work. He started playing music for people in nursing homes, and then hospitals, and then it became a full-time job. And so he goes all the time. He sings songs from like the 30s, 40s, and 50s, although I can't name a single song from the 30s or 30s. I don't know they're making music in the 30s. He says the song that's requested most is, you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. And he even tries to play

songs he doesn't know. He hopes that his award inspires others to do it as well. I can tell you, I went and sang in hospitals as part of musicians on call, and they would often ask for songs I had no idea how to play. And so what I would do is just play the same three chords and just try to sing the song over it. They're like, this guy's terrible. Especially when it was old, old, old people, they'd be like, can you play Eich and Tina Turner? And I'll be like, sure can't. Or I'd play one chord and then sing it with no music under it.

But I'd try to give them the song. It was really nice, though, if they wanted something like Taylor Swift, because we could do all the Taylor Swift stuff. Yeah, we just had a little and shake it off. And they'd be like, yeah, it was good though. So when we're old in a nursing home, what are we going to request? Baby got back. Yeah, Chadahoochee. Yeah, would you, uh, would you mind doing low by flowrida? All right, that's it. That's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey Merle. Yes, sir. How you doing? It's Bobby. Hey, Bobby. I'm doing great. Yourself? Yeah, doing pretty good. I got a question for you. Yes, sir. I'm reading here that you want to surprise your wife with a trip to Nashville.

Is she around right now? No, actually, I had to take some clothes to the dry cleaner, so she's not with me, so she won't know about this, Bill, whatever happens happens. Yeah, okay. She doesn't even know we're going to them. So to our listeners right now, today is Thursday, May 12th. This is after the show on Thursday, and I saw Merle's call. And so just know this is recorded on Thursday.

A little delayed this morning, but we're still going to get to the big stories. Bobby's Big. Stories.

Adele has confirmed that she's moved in with her boyfriend Rich Paul, but that's not the story. The story is that she bought a new place for $58 million. I mean, do you put it down, payment down? Do you pay it all in cash? Is it all in crypto? I don't know. What do you do? That's just a lot.

And so it's how Sylvester Stallone used to own, and she's going to leave up the Rocky statue, which I would too. That would be awesome. Oh, for sure. In May, Stallone cut the price from $85 million. Oh, wow. That's a deal. Like, there's got to be so much there that you can't even experience it all. For 58 million, that's got to be a place where you just,

people are like, oh, wow, this room's awesome. I never, I never even go there. That's got to be happening with so much of that house. But 58 million bucks later, Adele has an awesome house, obviously. A fifth grader brings some gummies to school. They're weed gummies. The same school. I think that the kindergartner brought the margaritas.

It's the same school? Let me read this because, Either that or they, when I read the story last night, they were just comparing the two. But here we go. It was just three weeks ago that Fox 2 reported on Grand River Academy in Livonia, where a kindergartner brought margaritas and dixie cups to school for snack time. Now at the same school, two 11-year-olds were hospitalized after one of them brought marijuana edibles to school. I thought it was the same school, but then I started questioning it once I read it out loud.

Christy, like what are they teaching in that school? Yeah. They like to party there. They do, and early. Gosh. They go hard. Christy Morton contacted Fox News after learning her son was given a marijuana edible in their fifth grade classroom.

She said her son didn't know that the funny feeling was from THC and the Edibles. Wow. Told Fox News that another fifth grader brought the weed gummies to school on Monday and didn't warn her son what they were. I wonder if the fifth grader knew what they were exactly. Or if they were just... Because I love a gummy.

I will eat vitamins all day long if they're gummy. My wife has like... some hair vitamins, but they're gummy, and I eat them all the time. I got good hair. She's like, why do you eat my hair vitamins? They're a gummy. So I get the fact that I would eat a gummy or take a gummy to school. Yeah, they look like. I've never seen these. Do they look like gummy worms and bears?

They're not. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They do? Yeah. Maybe I don't know if I've seen them or not either. They're not in the shape of a plant. No, I guess, is it like gummy? Is it like a gummy candy?

Yes, it looks like a gummy. Not a bear. It looks like a police officer arresting you. So you don't eat them. A couple. in India, suing their only son and his wife for not giving them a grandchild after six years of marriage. Yeah, that's obviously not America, but still a, that is a wild story. They're suing their son. They say they used up all their savings, raising their son, praying for his pilots training, also a lavish wedding.

They are demanding compensation of over half a million dollars if no grandchild is born within a year. Sounds like a healthy family. The unusual lawsuit was filed on the grounds of mental harassment and cruelty. The dad said he spent all a savings on his son The guy returned to India Lost his job had his family support him The parents that they paid for the wedding But they're still not planning a baby So they're gonna sue

Wow That's from BBC That is not the sitcom I grew up on No Where do you sue your kids for not having a baby Norm McDonald Really one of my favorite comedians who died This past year

Well no I guess it was last year right Mike Norm McDonald left an hour of new material behind for one last special. Oh, that's cool. Norm McDonald's sister-in-law announced that before his death, he left audiences an opportunity to hear him tell a few more jokes. He passed away from cancer in September. She said, it turns out, Norm left an hour of new material behind. He recorded it in his apartment during lockdown. It'll be a Netflix comedy special soon.

Awesome. Which is what Norm wanted. Norm McDonald, nothing special, will release on May 30th. That's from CNN. Dang. That's even if you're not a fan of him, Just that and knowing and then watching going, dang, he did this because he knew he was sick.

Yeah. Dang. Disney Plus reaches 138 million subscribers. It looks like Disney Plus is poised to take the lead in the streaming wars. And this credits Breaking Bobby Bones on Disney Plus fully as the reason why. Yes, good. Yes, so if you have Disney Plus, be sure to check out my show Breaking Bobby Bones. The service added 7.9 million subscribers last quarter and now boasts over 138 million accounts.

worldwide. So we watch Disney Plus a little bit. The Marvel stuff, we don't have kids, so we're not watching it for that, but they're expanding so much. But mostly us, it will be for the Marvel stuff, some of the Nat Geo stuff. Eddie, do you guys

have Disney Plus? Yeah, my kids, just watch it. I think that's definitely the most streamed in my house for my kids. Star Wars, and of course, all the cartoons. I think today they are going to announce the show that I am hosting, the new show. And I can't really say, much about it. My favorite, let me say this. My favorite bird is peacock, right? So I like to watch

them walk down the street. Just bird, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so what I've been told is it will be on the streaming service and they decided to put it on a channel as well. But that's what all, it should come out today. But anyway, I was looking at the peacocks yesterday, right? You love those peacocks. I do love a peacock. That story about Disney Plus is from variety. Con artists scammed a Houston mom out of $800,000 as they pretend to be Leo DiCaprio. Hey everybody. And I'm just going to say it point blank.

A celebrity does not want to be your friend or date you. It's sad to hear it because they'd be cool. But even if they did, they don't need your money. They don't, but they don't. They just don't. They just don't. I don't even want to put them at... Wait, wait, there's no chance they want to date you.

None. Ever? None. Listen, we're a special breed on this show. We aren't the most popular. We're not the coolest. And the people that listen to us, they're like us. normal folks

and there are no celebrities are going to reach out to nowhere and want to date you just gonna lay it down they don't want to be your friend

so don't just don't don't reply it's not them I feel like that would keep more people out of trouble than I don't know

feel them out maybe Dirk's wants to be your friend I don't know but DiCaprio which it wasn't him but DiCaprio got her Leonardo

convinced her to send them $813,000 $13,000 over four years to help him break away from the Church of Scientology. So the angle he used is he found somebody that was a devout Christian, vulnerable, and I need help getting away from this to what you do. That's crazy. That is so mean.

After months of pleading for help getting free, the woman finally wired $6,000, and it went from there. By the way, DiCaprio is not even a member of the Church of Scientology. I didn't think so. So, yeah, I know. Anyway, Jonah Hill reached out to me yesterday. I'm sending us some gift cards. Well, he's for easier friends.

Yeah, yeah. All right. That's the news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's big. Stories. Well, let me say this. I was driving in this morning, and I think this is a cool note because sometimes when this is not a commercial, it's not an endorsement.

But I drove and I drive the Hyundai Tucson and it's out there in my parking spot today. And one of the coolest things that I don't. think they put in the commercials would be valuable for all of us is that if I'm at a red light I will get on my phone and I will I don't use my phone while I drive but I'm also I'm not the perfect man you may think I am nobody thinks I am but just yeah despite what you think I'm not perfect and if I'm sitting at a red light I will pull up and look at a text message or my Twitter and that Hyundai Tucson whenever the car in front of you leaves it goes bing dong that's cool why why do why do other cars have

this. Yeah, that's amazing. It's amazing. And it avoids people having to honk at you. That should be the whole commercial. Yeah. Yeah. They should do a whole commercial of just uh, we know. You're not the perfect man. Everybody thinks you are. The Hyundai, but when they drive off, bing-dong, yesterday, somebody honked

at me. I was not driving the Tucson. I was driving the bronco and I'm sitting at a lot. Wasn't even on my phone. It was just like looking down at something. That's an old. The bronco is an old truck. And so I think it's messing with the radio or something. And the one goes, HONK! That's not the proper way to honk if someone doesn't go. This is the proper way.

Beep. That's that honk. That honk means, hey, the light just turned green. You should go, friend. I'm not mad at you. It means I've also done that. And I'm just letting you know you should go. Hoo-oh!

Does not mean that. That means like you're about to hit me. That means what she was saying to me was she was an a-hole. Oh. It's almost like a bad word When you hold that long So you know what I did? I went like 10 miles an hour

Once I pulled away Got her And I just held in it And Caitlin's like What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm like, you know what? She could easily

He went Beep beep But she didn't She went Do it with me There's no need for that If someone cuts you off

Or it's almost a wreck And you got to let them know That's the longhorn If someone's just not Paying attention And nobody's going to get hurt Beep beep or beep, beep, beep, beep.

That's all. It's all in the presentation. Anyway, the time, two-sum, bing-dun. Oh, I would look at her. There I go. I'm glad you got back at her, though. At 10 miles per hour, you really did. But what I did, too, if there were many people behind her, I wouldn't have gone slow.

I didn't want to hold them up. Like I said, I'm not a perfect man. Regardless of what you guys constantly tell your friends, I'm not a perfect guy. Super mature. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, that's what's up. You guys can call us if you like.

Well, he drove to court. Oh, no, he doesn't know. He's drunk. Yeah. How did he drive to court, though? He can't drive. Well, he was driving on a suspended license. Mm-huh.

And he smelled like alcohol. Yeah, that sucks. I mean, the guy has a problem. Like, he's not just an idiot. Like, at that point, he's got a problem. Didn't I have one single friend that could drive him? Even if he was drunk. Yeah.

Even if he showed up to court drunk, that's a slightly lesser bonehead than driving drunk. Yeah. Maybe some friends didn't know, but because they've already set boundaries with him. I would imagine his friends like to party, too. I'm just guessing. I'm just guessing. So what happens? I get charged with the fourth DUI and he was arrested.

Dang. That's a lot. All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the day. All right. This is Leslie from Indiana who left us a voicemail. I was just calling and wondering about the thing you guys, you and Caitlin found in your house that might be worth money.

We never heard an update on that, I don't think. So just checking in. Well, I have not shared an update. It has been appraised by two different people. It is also not in the house anymore. You sold it? No. Oh.

But I don't know people come and try to steal it. even though they don't know what it is. They show up. Where's that thing? Where's the mystery thing? There is something in the house that we found and we're like this might be worth something. Eddie, you know what it is. I know what it is.

And you wouldn't think it was worth that much. No, I turned to throw it away. I thought it was a piece of garbage. Yeah. I know for a fact, and don't put me on camera on this. Okay. That it's worth at least this much. Can you see that?

Yeah. What? Yes. Wow. Who told you that? We'll have two appraisals. And that's the average. Can you make it a little bigger so I can see that price? You didn't see that? No, I didn't see it.

No, there was a glare that it just wasn't working. What could it be? What you don't know what it is? No, you just said Eddie knows what it is. Oh, I thought everybody knew what it was. Amy, I thought you knew what it was. I don't know what it is. Oh, man.

You and Leslie should talk. You guys could be a support group. Do I not know? I don't know. I bet you do. Well, there's no update yet, but I will let you guys know. makes like one of those stories where it's like, person, you know, buy something from 7-11,

turns out of an ancient Rome bust of an emperor worth $10 million. That'd be awesome. If you hold on to it for longer, will it increase in value? Yes. Is that true? Yes. That is true. What?
