Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton — What’s Really Going On With Them?

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are arguably two of the most popular artists in country music right now. The two of them have been married since May 2011, and although their work schedules probably don't give them as much time to spend together as most newlyweds would like, we have noticed that these two stars are still managing to live parallel lives. In fact, it is starting to get a little weird and make us wonder if they have figured out some way to live separate, but also "nearly" identical lives.

“Queen For a Day,” One of the Oddest Shows Craig Has Seen

"Queen For a Day" was a game show in the 1950s and 1960s, that, as Craig said on the morning show, was very strange. Check out an episode below... Apparently reality TV and game shows were even a little off back then.

Craig and Al’s Favorite Children’s Books – Their Top 5

Craig and Al went to Victor School yesterday and Cold Springs Elementary School in Missoula earlier this week to read to some of the young students.
