Do you have any tattoos? They get to no question. Do you have any tattoos and where are they? Amy, you can go first. I have two on my wrist. One is Joy in my mom's handwriting. I got it probably a year before she passed away from cancer. And then I have Espoa under that because then I was in the adoption process of my husband.

And we were waiting to get these kids. It took years and years. And Espois means hope in Haitian Creel. So I just wanted to have Espoa there to have hope that it would actually happen. and it eventually did. Lunchbox? No tattoos. Don't care about enough things to get them tattooed on my body.

And when I'm older, I just see people at the gas station, how those tattoos really kind of like stretch out and they sag and they look disgusting and I'm out. At the gas station? Yeah, you don't see women pumping gas and they got the tattoos like hanging down there. It looks like a batwing and it's supposed to be like a motorcycle. It's like, I don't even know what it is. I haven't noticed that.

I'm good. I think it might just be the gas station more than the person. But I hear you are the tattoo. I have a few. I have my grandma's initials who raised me, adopted me. Have my mom's initials. I have a microphone when I was put into the Radio Hall of Fame. I have the state of Arkansas all in my right arm.

I have mirror ball from when I went dancing with the stars. I have a C for my wife's name. I think that's it. You got a lot of tattoos? I'm basically that person at the gas station, the lunchbox sees. Pretty much, man. The motorcycle that looks like a monkey. It's just saggy.

No, but yeah. And I never plan to be tattoo guy, but one turned into the other. It's like gremlins. Feed them in the middle of the night. Next thing you know, you're popping up everywhere. Was the first one free or something? Like, how did that? No, I got my grandma's initials.

Oh, okay. I don't know why I did it. You got that here in Nashville? Yeah. Yeah. And then I got my mom. Neither one of them, my mom or my grandma who raised me are still living. But I got the whole blackout state of Arkansas.

And that one hurt. Yeah, because it's all blacked out. Mine have started to bleed a little bit or... Bleed like, make you bleed or like bleed out? Like bleed like the ink is spreading. Watch what's talking about? Are you at the gas station too much? Mine's on my wrist, but I did inquire about getting them removed just because of that because it doesn't look the same.

But then I'm like, well, what do I do? Because I want my mom's signature. So to move it, get it redone. You can widen it, right? I don't know nothing about tattoos. Eddie? You know, I don't have tattoos, but there's a redone. road that I drive by every, when I take my kids to practice, like twice a week, and there's a

tattoo shop that I don't know why, but I just look at it every single time I pass by. Because it's on the side of the road. It's right there and it says it's in your vision. You have to close your eyes to miss it. And it's got a big balloon guy that's got an arm like, you know, like the inflatable ones. That's why you look at it because that's inflatable is so fun. Do you want to get a tattoo? Not really.

No. But you're open to it if it was right? No. Oh, but. Like if I found something like lunchbox, if I found something where like I really, really loved and I want that on my body, I would probably get one. but no, nothing comes in mind. I see what you're trying to give me to do that.

I don't want one. Well, there you go. Amy and I have them. We're hardcore. You guys are bad guys. Lunchbox and Eddie do not because they care about nothing. Would you guys agree with that? I mean, enough to get a tattoo.

Let's open up the mailbag. You send a key mail and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. Here's the deal. I'm in the friend zone with a good friend of about six years. When I first met her, she was already with someone. And I swear, since the day, I laid eyes on her.

I was head over hills. But recently, something tragic happened, and their partner was taken from them. I still have those same feelings for her. I don't want to miss out, but I'm not sure how I go for it. I do value our friendship. I don't want to lose it. So the question is, how do I get out of the friend zone? Again, I'm head over hills for her, but there was tragedy involved.

Signed, head over her. hills hopefully. Yeah, the tragedy part makes it a little different. But here's the thing about people that are desirable to be in a relationship with. If you don't jump in, somebody else will. Because a lot of people see the value in a very valuable person as far as the traits that you see that are good for a relationship. So at times, if someone were to come out of a relationship and like, oh, she's on the rebound or he's on the rebound, just dating whomever. It doesn't matter. One of those rebounds is going to be the next person she ends up with or he ends up with. I think what I would do, because I mean the tragedy is a different element.

That's what makes it tough because you want to jump on it, but then you got to give her time or him time for this tragedy. But somebody else is going to come along if you don't. Oh, boy. So I think without having an emotion attached to it, the best thing to do is to just express your feelings. But then you know that like you run the risk of. no longer being a friend. Absolutely.

But it sounds like he was only being the friend, so hopefully he could have a shot at being more than a friend. Wait, you can't be the friend after you tell him you like them? Yes, but it'll never be the same. Yeah, you may. It just depends on the person. I'm just saying you have to be okay with that being a possibility. It'll never be the same, even if you do remain quote-unquote friends,

because then she will know, okay, he's in love with me. I got to be a bit careful. Oh, man. So my answer would be express your emotions, express your feelings. And how do you do that? You say, well, what I would do is I'd write it out and then read it from a piece of paper. Yeah, I was going to say that.

So I don't deviate. That's funny. Like, I have a lot of things I wanted to say, and I wrote it all down, and I didn't want to mess it up or have anything be misconstrued. So here we go. Oh, that's so awkward. But I also think it's sweet. But if you also want to convey the message, because you know, know what it's like when things get emotional or tense.

You tend to start taking little exits around what you should say in order to make it softer or easier for the, you just read what you wrote. Now do you take them to dinner? Do you show up at their house and say, hey, we need to talk? Like, how do you do it? I think you just make sure the environment's right. You know her better than anybody else. You need to express your feelings. Tears good or too much?

If you really feel them? If you really feel them? I love them, but don't keep an onion in your pocket. Okay. In the letter you put Prince Zeus cry here. Try not to do that, but write it all out and then say exactly how you feel. Whatever happens at the end, at least you'll have some closure either way and you won't always be like, because it's also not going to be good for other relationships that you're in moving forward.

If you had somebody you always wanted to express your love for, that you're in with somebody else, but really you wanted, that's just not healthy all the way around. Write it all down. get it exactly how you'd say it and then read from the paper because if you don't someone else will maybe not the paper but they're going to move it

We got your email and we let it on the air now it's fine to close Bobby's mail back Yeah It's time for elder versus millennial The old versus the young Lunchbox versus Abby in a trivia game

Abby, what company makes the Game Boy? That would be not Can we cancel a season? No. Can we cancel a whole season? This is like... Nintendo. That's correct.

Okay. Goodness. Okay. Finally, which popular 1980s TV show featured a Mohawked character played by Mr. T? I can picture him. Mr. T. Which popular 1980s TV show featured a Mohawked character played by Mr. T? Not going to get it.

Never going to get it. Never going to get it. Right. Hey, good. Way to go with that song. Lunchbox? The 18. 18.

He wins. He wins. He didn't get a single one right and he wins. It's time for the good news. This is good. Thousands of inmates in the Washington State prison system are also parents. And part of the broken system is if kids have parents that aren't around in jail, statistically, they tend to end up in prison more than kids who have fathers.

So you're not really fixing a broken system. So what they've done is they're like, hey, when your kid comes in to visit, they have like PS5s and stuff that you can play with your dad if your dad's in jail to allow that kind of bonding moment more so than just sitting at a table you can actually do something with them which wasn't the case so I like that they're starting there you know what it would also be cool is if these dads could put on headsets and play with their kids

like and their kids are at home an hour a week well that'd be really cool I only thought of that because I was thinking about this and how I like they're trying new things because again imagine you're 11 and you go see your dad in prison. Well, you're just sitting there. But if you could play a video game and actually do something while you're also communicating, because for guys, we kind of need that conduit to get us to that place to be able to communicate.

And then imagine if sometimes you're not near where your parent is locked up, you have to drive an hour, two hour, three hours. Imagine if once a week you have 30 minutes, 45 minutes, to be able to play against your parent who's in jail on a video. That would also be cool. But I like that they're trying new things to fix the system that is going to remain broken because the system isn't there to fix itself. It's there to temporarily put a Band-Aid on something.

And Band-Aids actually don't heal anything. King Five with that story, but it's a good story and I like it because we're trying new things. Obviously, the old way doesn't work. No. It's a temporary Band-Aid. but I like it. I like when people try to do better things. Thank you.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. On the Bobby Bones show now. Dr. James Ragland. Doctor, we appreciate you being with us today. I'm glad to be here. So we have a lot of questions, and I would hope that you don't think that these are legitimate questions.

They may seem uneducated and stupid, but that is what we are. So we just want to state that at front, okay? That's okay. That's fine. Eddie is my best friend, and he, He's bald on top of his head, and we've suggested that he shaved both sides of the sides, just go fully bald. He doesn't want to do that.

But he also has been hesitant to do anything, like to wear a toupee or anything. So I said, Eddie, I will send you to Turkey to go get a hair transplant. Like, I was going to pay for the whole thing. And he was super weird about flying to the Middle East to get a hair transplant. Yeah. So before we talk about your practice specifically, what do you know about sending people to the Middle East for hair transplants? That's a very common thing that's grown a lot. in the last few years. Turkey has done a really good job both in their country and their tourism

industry to promote that. And there are some, I'm not going to not allow, there's some very good hair transplant surgeons over there that are known internationally. But there's an awful lot of hair transplant facilities over there also. And so there are many issues with it. You can have some great results. I've seen great results. But it's a long ways to go if anything doesn't go perfectly fine. And that's a long ways to follow up on because even the best of surgeons, facilities, there may be issues come up that can be handled easily. There may be issues that are bigger. And that's a long migration to get back to. It's not a quick Southwest flight, I guarantee. It's not really a hop-skipping jump. So Dr. Raglan is on and he is MD chief of staff,

board certified head and neck surgeon. And do you actually do the surgeries, Dr. ragling? Like, do you do that with your hands or do somebody else do that? I do everything other than the actual placement of the hairs. And in the hair transplant world, placement of the hairs, which we call implanting, there are specialized texts that are far better than any of the rest of us that I have to do that port, that portion in the afternoon. But everything else I do. I see the patient ahead of time. We go through a full consult ahead of time. Sometimes I take 30, 45 minutes to do that. Um, I numb everything up.

I harvest all the hairs, whether it be, and I don't know how much y'all have looked into this, whether it be the older fashion strip procedure, which we still do sometimes. What's that? So two main ways to harvest hairs, but essentially, yes, I do everything other than taking the hairs and implanting them in all the little sites. So two main ways to harvest hairs. There's a traditional way of what's called a strip procedure. Take a little strip of skin, not to get too graphic, but back here where we've got lots of extra

hair. You take literally a strip of that with all the hairs in it and remove it and then sew up the two edges, hair to hair, and you've got a fine little linear scar that's only visible if somebody shaves their head. And then all those hairs are dissected out individually under microscope and then implanted. There's a more modern way, but we still use both, where you actually harvest individually, all of the hairs through the whole area back here, individually with a little punch. And so they're taken out in little groups together so you don't have a linear scar, but you could have thousands of little bitty ones that you don't see. Eddie, which one of those sounds like something that you would do,

where they cut the skin or they harvest? My terminology is probably wrong. I love that they call it harvesting. Yeah. Well, it feels like you're farming corn. It's not seasonal. We can harvest any time of year. Okay, well, fair.

Thought so far. I mean, the scar is what bothers me a little bit. and just kind of having a scar. I was at the convenience story the other day, and I was behind a gentleman, and he had one of those scars, and he had his headshade, which I didn't understand why he would have the surgery

and then have his headshade, but his scar was pretty visible. Like, that's a pretty big scar. It can be, and you bring up a really good point. A lot of times guys will have a transplant at one point in their life, and they want their hair restored back where it was five, ten years ago,

but yet they progress on with a lot more loss later on, and so they eventually decide they just want to give up and buzz it like some other bodies of theirs, and that scar is visible. And so that's one of the things that in the hair world, you've really got to look at where is somebody, what is their possible potential loss in the future, and try to avoid those situations where you transplant somebody young, and then they give up on it, everything else goes away, they end up progressing toward more baldness and they decide to shave it, and then they've got that scar visible. You've got to commit, Eddie. If you're going to do it, you got to commit.

Do it, yeah. Is there another place in the body, Doc, where you can get it from? Like, I have a lot of let. It's going to be weird. No, not the butt. You get. Yeah, there are. So you can harvest from beard.

A lot of guys will have extra hair underneath the chin area, you can get some beard. You can take chest hair. Now, my caution with those is I don't like to go into somebody's long-term life plan of managing their scalp hair by saying, oh, we've got this to take. you generally want to take it and plan from here and only down the road if something is, is you've run out here and you need more somewhere else. You can fill something in, but I wouldn't want to plan that long term. Dr. Raglan, could I donate my hair?

He's often remarked to how great my hair is. Beautiful. Could I donate my hair and put it in his head? You can't. People ask that all the time. You can't. It's essentially an organ transplant if you think about it. It would be the same as taking and, you know, donating a.

part of a liver or kidney to somebody, you'd have to be on immunosuppression things for that. It's not practical for hair. So no. So even if you're a match, though, like- Correct. Yeah. Even a match, quote, quote, match in the organ transplant world, you still have to be on, you can be a match, but you still have to be on medicines to suppress things that are not

matched. And so it's not feasible or practical with hair. Generally speaking, if you make it to what age and you haven't lost your hair, that kind of means you're not going to lose your hair. To an extent, yeah. Now, even people who keep their hair pretty good and thick through, say, I don't know, even 60s, there's a, as we really age and you get 80s and 90s, sometimes people leave in a full head of hair will start to thin just because of age. But if you reach your 40s, 50s and you have no recession or no thinning bald spot at all, you probably are not. going to lose much. I like that. That's cool. That's pretty good. Yeah, look at you guys. Like me. Yeah, yeah. So if Eddie, and again, I've talked to him and I've told him all about your practice,

empty hair labs, and, you know, that you guys have really great technology, you do a lot of hair restoration. If he were to go in and, you know, get on the old gurney or whatever you, I don't know what you get on, dude, and you get these places, they put you in the stirrups. I don't know. And they do the surgery on your head. How much downtime is it from when he goes in and then is able to come back full-headed hair and we're like, dang, Fabio. Okay. So that sort of time frame to full-headed hair, what we call full growth or full results, that can be up to a year, frankly, or maybe slightly longer, but generally we say roughly

around a year, you're going to see where you are from that. I've seen six months. I've seen guys come back in six months, and man, everything just looks great. I've seen guys come back at a year and we're like, I think you're going to get a little bit better over the next few months. but somewhere in that six, nine, 12 month time frame, closer to 12. What about when it doesn't hurt anymore? Oh, that's pretty quick.

So, yeah, there's the full growth time frame and full result time frame, and then there's the actual downtime and things. So when does it not hurt anymore the next day? Oh, that's cool. For the most part, you know, the strip incision is a little bit bigger surgery and all, but when we do the more common what we call the FUE or individual harvest, people go home that night and Tylenol or ibuprofen is generally all anyone needs. And some don't even take that.

But by the next day, they're pretty much good. It's not very painful once we stop poking on you. And when we poke on you, we numb it up anyway. So it's not a bad procedure and you're not real painful afterwards. Eddie has gigantic eyebrows. Any chance you could use those? We could, but he's probably going to want them. He's pretty going to want them.

They're so big. You can do half of them. No, I like my eyebrows. That's the new trend. Got it, got it. My bad. Yeah. Women tell me all the time.

You have wonderful life. Women just come up to you and tell you have great eyebrows. Yeah, man, and eyelashes. I've been around you a lot. Never heard a single woman come saying. Okay, but do you do the eyebrow transplants, not to the hair, but like for women, some of them are getting hair moved to their eyebrows. Hold on, but we're talking about Eddie here, specifically head here.

Well, he brought it up, so I didn't know if he did it. I brought it up. Eddie's big eyebrows. I didn't know if he did it, though. What if he does it? Okay. Do you hear her, though? Women are wanting eyebrows like this.

Oh, doctor, would you please? I'm sorry. We answer that question. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we do those. So yeah, in the last few years, after years of women wanting to pluck things and trim things and really find them down, they found that, hey, they don't return. So they've kind of overplucked things. And now we take hair from same place, same place on women back here, and move them to their eyebrow.

Because it's that fine little thin line from the 90s and 2000s, that's apparently out. And now we want big normal, natural eyebrows. They get no normal and bigger than Eddie's, right, Eddie? That's rude. No, I'm just saying women talk about it all the time to you. They love them. They love them. I'll be with Eddie and they'll be lined up to be like, we love your eyebrows.

So do you want to, I don't know, do you want to show them your head? Yeah, sure. Do you want to see my head, Doc? I've not seen him other than just looking at pictures of things. And I always have a hat on. So here we go. This is the big reveal. Oh, gosh.

It's not even that bad. Lunchbox is acting like. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Sorry, Doctor. Eddie, let me see what you've got back here kind of over that crown spot. That's the bad one, Doc. is it okay okay all right you've you've kept that one pretty good and hit sorry about that

oh yeah he said it was bad but if you're i mean we're gonna do this you got to get vulnerable and just lay it all out i appreciate you're right eddie you're not alone you're not thanks guys you're not you're not man and and you're you're not alone at all um but i will every guy that loses their hair they they they do decide they they would like to have it back just sometimes you can't can you fix that you're that we can definitely fix the we can definitely fix the front. Oh. The front is something.

So the front, when you look at hair loss and you look at the entire area that some guys lose their hair, that leaves not much back there. So the whole principle of hair transplant, we're taking hair from where a person has extra and you're moving them somewhere else. You're not recreating any new hair. So if your area of loss is enormous, then by definition, your area to take it from is small. So at some point, you reach a tipping point where you can't cover every. thing. Then you fall down too well, you can cover one zone. And for most guys, especially guys on

radio and TV and things like that, they would say, if you could get me that front back to where it looks full, then that's a win. So you've got, can you cover everything? If the area you need it is small, then yes. If the area is bigger, you have to pick one and most guys will pick the front. If the area is just too big and you've got one of those, you know, guys with nothing but the little horseshoe, there's not enough there to make a difference. So at some point you reach a point of no return. Eddie, what are your thoughts so far? I think if I catch what Doc is saying is that I have two zones on my head.

Zone one, the front of my head, zone two, the back of my head. And if we're going to do this, I think we work on zone one and just zone two is what it is. Well, yeah, because we don't see zone two a lot because we're not tall. We're not above you. Yeah, and I'm really tall, so a lot of people don't really see the top of my head. Oh, man. What about, though, if you just always have like shocked eyes, surprised eyes and your eyebrows are like covering the front part? Like you're like, if you walk around like, with your eyebrows up and you just comb them back.

Like, you ever do a eyebrow comb over? Doc, are you heard of that? No, you'd have to, you'd, I guess it could be done. I think about it. You could transplant hair from back in here, which grows long. Eyebrows only grow yay long. But you could transplant long hairs in here and you could grow them back, I guess. Wow.

Okay, so Dr. Raglan is on with us, MD, chief of staff, board certified head and neck surgeon at MD Hair Labs. and we're, you know, trying to get Eddie, if he wants to, because he's wanted to to have a hair transplant surgery. Well, who doesn't want hair? Right. You know, and I don't have my hair, so it sounds good. Your thoughts after this brief conversation are what? The two zones kind of scares me a little bit.

The incision, the back of my head, I really thought they could pull it from my butt maybe. It's not going to be a massage, though, bro. What? Like, it's not going to feel good. There's going to be parts of anything in life where you gain it. You have to give a little. You don't have to commit right now. I do like the, you know.

I do like the idea of having hair. But see, Doc, let me ask you this. Is it going to grow? Like, come on over the back. Is it going to grow normal? Yeah, do I suck? Yeah. No, it's the same hair that is back here.

However long and much this would grow, it's the same hairs. It is these hairs move to a different spot. So it will grow normal. Could I look like Bobby? So look at Bobby's hair right now. Can I look like that? So there's a principle with transplant. It won't.

be massive full density like you were when you were, you know, 17 here. A lot of hair back then. You don't need that. You don't, you don't need that. You need a level of density that reaches that threshold that looks like it's full and no one notices it then until they get right up there and look. You don't need that full density that you had when you were 17 here. You can get away with less and still accomplish the same look like you're not bald in the front. Doc, do some of your patients send you pictures of them with new hairdos like, check me out. I got a mullet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

They get to style it different. They come in with a different smile. That's cool. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you didn't go all the way to Turkey to find out he has two zones. Oh, man. That would have been terrible? And what if I picked one of those random hair places in Turkey that aren't very good?

It's like going to New York or Chicago and there's so many pizza places. You don't know which ones are the real ones or which ones are popping up. All of a sudden, you go into Chicago deep dish. And let's just say they buy it off the shelves, you know? You don't want that. Okay. Dr. Raglan, we really appreciate the time he spent with us. Eddie's going to have some decisions to make.

Lots of decisions. Yeah. Can I have asked some questions? Yeah, go ahead. I love to talk to Eddie. Hey, Dr. Ragland, do you also do something for noses? No, why are you attacking his nose? He doesn't do that.

He has a big nose, so while you're in there doing his hair, I thought maybe you could help him out. This is why people are confused by your personality. It's like you have to, this is not about his nose, and then you make it about his nose. And I don't want to fix my nose. I like your nose. They have a great nose. Thank you, man. I'd like to have your nose.

I'll give you my nose. Thank you. Okay, so Dr. Raglan, I know that with Eddie, especially it's a serious thing he's been talking about for a long time. I guess I think he wants to ask, maybe I'm wrong, will people be able to tell that he had a hair transplant? And will they laugh at him behind his back? That I can't tell you. I don't know. But down the road, no, I don't want people to be able to tell you've had a hair transplant when this fills in a few years from now.

No. In the immediate time, yeah. You're going to tell you had that because generally for what the number that you probably need, and I think it's a decent size number of graphs, we're going to shave everything. We're going to shave everything down. And so during that recovery period of a few weeks, you're going to be able to tell you had something done. But down the road, no, I don't want you to be able to tell. Can you wear a hat whenever he's in recovery?

Yeah. So my general rule on that is I let people wear a very loose fitting hat, one that's not going to touch anywhere near those fragile little graphs. and only touches here on about day five if you need to. After two weeks, yes, you can wear a hat, no problem. But in that first few days, they're very fragile. I don't want to risk it. But at day five, you can wear a hat if it doesn't touch the graphs.

So this is what I want to say for Dr. Aguilin, super respected. Your social media, Dr. Agland, because I know I was looking at some of those stuff, you have like over 18 million viewers that have watched just, yeah, it's crazy. Like the quality of work he does. Where can people see your work? Well, we have an Instagram page. We have Facebook page. And, you know, if somebody comes in, we can show you what we've got in our archives and things. But those are the main places. Those are our MDhairlabs.com is the website that we try to keep as many updated as we can. That's the main places. MD Hair Labs.MD.HareLabs.m. We really appreciate you. Eddie, as you can tell by his face here, he's still processing it. Yeah, a lot to think about.

And if there's any conversation that you want to have with the doc off a microphone, feel free to have that. Sounds great. I support you. You can have the time off. Dr. Raglan seems like a great person. It's just, that's a lot to take in, what, 10 minutes? You got great options.

From what I can tell, good candidate, you got great options. I would say go look to at, like, their Instagram, which is MD Hair Labs. Okay. Go look at it, see what, and then if you feel like, like you want to do it, we'll make it happen. Okay, man. Dr. Raglan, thank you so much for your time. And we really appreciate someone of your caliber coming on the show with us.

Thank you, guys. Thank you. All right, there he is. Dr. Raglan, Eddie's savior maybe. Thank you, Dr. Raglan. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say it.

Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes,

creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment. And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream,

this is right where you need to be. Listen to The Clifford show on the IHeard radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.

And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care.

So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ego Wode.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.

Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar. of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be.

Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here's the voicemail. It's the reason we're doing this bit at all. I just finished the segment where you guys talked about everything that was annoying about each other.

And as entertaining as it was, can you guys do what you guys really enjoy about each other? and I know that'll be hard for lunchbox, but it'll be really good, feel good. And I know Amy will love it too. Okay, love the show. Thank you for that voicemail. You want to hear lunchboxes? Yesterday's podcast.

Go listen to that. And he did it. And it was awkward, but in a beautiful way. We have two left. Amy and Eddie. Eddie, you go first, because I'm going to let Amy close the show. She'll be sincere and it'll, like, be awesome. No, no.

I'm going to tell you. He's tricky like lunchbox in a way. Oh, dude. I'm going to be very sincere here. Go toward Amy first. Okay. Amy, I'm going to start with you, and I want to say what I like about Amy is that she is very giving. She cares about other people.

And I think she's really the only one that gives people gifts on their birthday out of all of us. Not true. I give everybody gifts. You do? But it's always in the form, mostly have a gift card through a text message. Oh. Okay, see, I don't see that. But every time somebody's birthday...

I always get you a gift on your birthday. No, no, I know you and I. Like, that's one thing. But like if... But shouldn't you be worried only about you? If it's more, if it's Abby's birthday, like A bag and like a card, happy birthday, Abby. Amy's very thoughtful.

Me and Lunchbox, we don't give anyone presents. Yeah, yeah, you do. You know what I mean? So that's very nice. She thinks about other people. Good. She's also the mediator of the show. Like, she likes to like, if someone's getting like attacked in any way, she's like, guys, guys, guys, it's okay.

You know, there's two sides to every story, blah, blah, blah. And that's very nice that she steps in and protects people, especially Lynch. She's a safe haven at times. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm going to save him. Come to me now.

Okay, you. I love that you're very knowledgeable. Like, we can ask you anything and you pretty much know what the answer is. I don't feel like that's accurate, but go ahead. That's pretty accurate. And you're able to see like two sides of things. Like if I have an opinion on something, you're like, yeah, but have you thought about this side of the story? Or if like this person's been thinking about that?

And like, that's really cool. Like most people are like, no, man, I don't like people like this. But you're good. You're able to see like both sides of stories and kind of talk. about things. I like that. I think that's really cool. And I gave people birthday gifts too. I took offense to that. I don't see that. I know. I keep a secret on the down low. So now I know. Let me add that on the list. Thank you. Bobby gives people birthday gifts. I do text message. So it's not awkward because I'm not

good at the face-to-face thing. That's really cool, dude. Yeah, yeah, I'm awkwarded it that way. All right. And now, that's pretty much it. No, no, we're not going to conclude the segment there. Now you need to do lunchbox. Say something nice about him. You know what? Lunchbox cares about the earth. He recycles. He does recycle. Like, if we have pieces of paper, on our desk, he takes them and he, I think he puts them in his car. They stand his car for a long time. But. Like, we have bottles of water.

He takes them and puts them in his car. They said it for a long time, but he cares about the environment. I think that's really cool, lunchbox. Yeah, the one problem is the paper here. We can't recycle them more because they took our recycle bin. But you put them in the car. Like everything else you do. Yeah.

I know, but I'm just saying they make it a lot harder. I used to be able to just take it in the break room and slide it in a little slot. Yeah. Ah, very annoying. Eddie, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing what you like about us. I like a lot of things about you guys. Amy, you close the show. You're the headliner.

You're the Chris Stapleton. Okay, so. Go to Eddie first. Oh, Eddie first. Okay, I feel like Eddie is like, you know when something is consistent and feels like. It's called chronic. No, like he's level. Like he's sort of, we're not.

Yeah, but he still feels and has things like emotion to offer. in different things, but he's just a level sound person. And I think he has a big heart as well. I know we give him a hard time for like wanting to do things, like donate organs and whatnot. That's not why we give him. It's that he wants to, but never does. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. He wants to have a big heart. You know, I think he does have a big heart and he is very well-intentioned. Obviously, as a big heart being a foster parent and now an adoptive dad, I get how difficult that is and I think Eddie's What's he laughing at? I don't know.

I literally don't know. You are, you did. Who's laughing? Who's laughing? No, I'm not. I'm not laughing. Go ahead. Okay, he foster and then adopted and has adopted mom like I get it.

That's not an easy thing to take on. And whereas sometimes I bring a little bit of that to work with me and get emotional and what not and can't really do. But Eddie's pretty level even like he's. And, like, he stays insane. Like, I know he probably has stuff going on at home, but yet he shows up and can still do his job. There you go. And he complains about working all the time.

But in reality, he's hanging out with folks. I don't complain about working. But he does have a big heart, regardless of how much we give him a hard time. Thanks. What is so funny? He keeps snickering over here. I look at Bobby's head going like, no, I agree. Because we joke.

Because I think one day Eddie's going to be like, guys. You could just say he has a big heart and not have to do that. But we do give him a hard time. And I think one day he's going to show up and be like, hey, guys, I don't know. Look, I don't have any organs. They're like, no, you're going to die. Right, I think that's the case. All right, do lunchbox.

Okay, with lunchbox, I think that he is one of the funniest people on the show. I think that are the first inclination to be like, Bobby is so funny and Eddie is so funny, because you all are. Why is you taking shots of people during her compliments? That's not not taking a shot. I just complimented you that you're funny. But I think he's like sneaky funny, like improv type funny. Like the things he can come up. with like so fast out of nowhere i think that's a that's a real talent improv and laughter is good for the

soul yeah improv no y'all don't agree with that that you this is not us this is you do saying what you say well edie just you've taken shots though so so lunchbox is an improv comedian what shots did i take bobby a couple first you said eddie's got a big heart even though he tell him he doesn't you know that you do yeah you guys give me a hard time i don't know we just go said it it doesn't matter Eddie, have a big heart. Lunchbox are funny. Improper. It doesn't matter.

I wouldn't disagree with either one of those statements. What else you got Amy on me? Is that not good enough? I wouldn't disagree in any way with those statements. But I think they could just be said. So I'll just say it flat out. Eddie, you're level-headed with him. You're good with Eddie.

He's all good. I said again. I'm just going to condense it. Eddie, level-headed big heart. Lunchbox. Like, sneaky funny. Okay, go ahead. Am I done?

If you want to be. She's like, please, we'll move on. That's not. That's not it. And I think with Bobby, just something that sort of offline, people may not know. I think any of us, if we needed advice or wisdom on something, we can call you and you're going to shoot it straight with us and you're going to tell us your thoughts on it and you offer encouragement and wisdom any time that's happened over the years.

It's not like all the time, but you would be there for any one of us who had something else going on and we needed to pick your brain about something. Or kidney. I'm grateful for that because I think that's just something offline. I mean, there's the given things about you that people get to see. But that's sort of behind the scenes is the encourager that you are. You want to encourage us to go do other things. And when you've kind of done stuff before us so you know more, your overall wise, more

wise than us? Yeah, that's like I said, they're smarter than us. And so I don't think that's true. It is true. I think I know quiz questions. No, no, I'm not even talking about like, you know, what's the capital of this place or how do you spell that? I know that. I'm not very good spelling.

I'm talking about some business things. Listen. Us being able to come to you for wisdom and encouragement and you take the time to do that. There you have it. Thank you everybody for sharing what is good about each other. I'll piggyback on Amy's real quick about you. Like when my kids ask me like, hey, dad, why is this or whatever? I'm like, I don't know.

Google it. You never do that. You're like, actually, this is why. The Mongols rule China. That's annoying, though, of me sometimes, too. No, but we wouldn't ask you if we didn't want to know the answer. But I'm not talking about trivia. Oh, I am.

Oh, yeah. All right, thank you. Look, it feels uncomfortable. We've been doing this show. We've all been together for double-digit years. Why has it got to be uncomfortable that we can't say positive things to each other? You don't like what I said? It's fine.

It's fine. Obviously, there's more, but, dude, these are just a couple of little tidbits. To be the wise ones. with encouragement. Boom. It's just fine. You are the knowledgeable one. I sound like Gandalf and I didn't even really watch Harry Potter or rings.

Who's he? The Wizard of the Rings. Yeah, Lord of the Rings. He's the great Gandalf. They had the long white beard and knew everything. You're the wise one. I know. With encouragement.

Lunchbox, what did you say about? A hundred-year-old Tony Robbins. Oh, you know. He said it was nice. He said it was very creative. He was creative out the wazoo. So was Gandalfini? We can't copy everybody else's.

No. Gandolphini. Do you know he would, he had such the shoots on that show were so long i never watched sparranoes but the shoots on that show were so long that you know they'd be like 13 14 day 14 hour days and so he would get kind of cranky because he would just have enough time to go home go to bed and come back and they'd shoot five or six days a week and that his day off was sunday and he had to spend it learning all the lines for all the five six days coming up he never stopped and they were always like why was you so cranky

on set oh how do you think yeah the guy has no time did you know that norm on cheers those were all real beers that he was drinking. So he'd get really drunk every time they'd shoot. All right, good job, everybody. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right. Are guys with facial hair hotter?

I'm not a big facial hair guy in dudes. You're not into it? No. No. Was she asking you? I don't know. Anybody. But I would say that if you made me pick a type of guy, which I'm not attracted to guys, but I can definitely tell what I find

which guys are more attractive than others, it's never facial hair. Okay, let me ask you this. Did you see that doctored photo of Mark Zuckerberg? He looks by side. He looks better with facial hair. Right. So it was clean-shaven Mark Zuckerberg next to a photoshopped Mark with a beard and women were going crazy talking about how he looked more attractive. Because he has an ugly face. With the beer. Like I could probably grow a beard and be hotter. Well, you just had a little bit of stubble. I know, but I'm saying guys with ugly faces, I'll raise my hand here. I don't think I have the greatest face. I think I can probably grow a beard and take a little bit of the attention from my face to the beard.

It's why I wear really thick glasses. Because you have an ugly face? Yes. I do it to distract. So. Also to see. Yeah, but I can wear glasses that. There's that.

That are not big. It's difficult to wear a hat with. I gotcha. If I have a hat that has a curvy bill, I can't even wear it normal because my glasses are so black-rimmed and thick. But yeah, I would say for the most part, I'm not attracted to do with beards. Okay. Well, a study found the sweet spot of women attracted to men with beards, and it's the 10-day scruff.

So that is where it looks the best. Anything like way longer than that, they're not really into. But the 10-day scruff, I guess it shows more masculinity and, yeah, defines the jaw line a little bit. It's like the 10-day itch, though. Like, that's when it is, like days six to 10. Guys, try it out. Grow out your beard for 10 days and see if your significant others more into you. Mine's too patchy.

It's like a little bit gray, got a little bit of brown. Got a little bit dark brown. You can't grow a full beard? Yeah, but I'm talking about patchy color-wise. Oh, uh-oh. It's got a little bit of... But if you went full beard, though, it'd be like Mountain Man? I don't know.

I've never grown it, grown it. I've grown it for like a couple months. You should try that. Yeah, I've had a foolish beard before, but I'm not as attracted to myself. Because you're not attracted to that. Yeah, yeah. What else? Okay, so this one thing could be ruining your relationship in bed.

And I'm talking about scrolling on social media because a relationship expert was saying that you are decreasing your chances of intimacy and affection and generally just engaging with your partner and everything starts to go downhill the more you scroll while you're in bed. But what if you get intimacy and affection on social media? But the point is you would probably want to get it from your partner. No, no, he's saying the partners on social media.

No, he is. He is. He is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm feeling affection from social media. No, I get it. I just, I'm on my phone too much. Well, there's a name for this. Like, when you're lying side by side in bed and you're both scrolling,

it's called parallel scrolling and it's killing relationships. We don't do that. She's never on her phone. Sometimes she forgets her phone for four hours and doesn't even look at it. And I'm like, where's your phone? She's like, I don't know. Have you seen it? I'm like, where's the last time we had it?

I don't know this morning. It's 2 p.m. We have such a different phone life where I can even text her sometimes and I don't hear back from her for an hour and a half. And I'm like, what? I didn't have my phone. And she really didn't. It's bizarre.

We should be connected to our phones way more than we are. Okay. Okay, what else? All right, so June Carter Cash passed away in 2003. And then Johnny Cash died less than four months later, which is kind of sweet if you think about it. But they were just born again. I saw those two babies.

Isn't this crazy? Check out this coincidence. Two babies. One named Johnny Cash and another named June Carter were born at the same hospital on the same day this month. It happened in Huntsville, Alabama. Alabama on April 10th. And two different families.

They did not know each other. June Carter was born at 2.30 and then Johnny Cash was born at 950. Now, I'm sure they had last names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. June Carter Clark and Johnny Cash Davis. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the parents were told about it.

They couldn't believe it when they found out. They want to stay in touch. And so people online are hoping that, you know, we check back in in 20 years and maybe they're going to be dating. I hope we check back in in 20 years and we're still here. The world still exists, you know. All right, is that it? I'm Amy. That's my file.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. For years and years, there were the four sisters from Nebraska, and they've been searching for their biological brother. He was put up for adoption when he was a baby. And on National Siblings Day, they posted on social media asking for help.

Like, all they had was a childhood photo of him. His name is Greg. And miraculously, people recognize. and they were able to bring him all together. He was only 80 miles away, which is so wild. From the kid photo? Yeah. They probably knew Greg when he was a kid.

It was like, oh, that's old Greg from down the country store when he was a kid. So they reached out, Greg found out about this. That somebody knew him. It was like, hey, look, your sisters. That he was adopted? Yeah. Or what if Greg wasn't looking for his sisters? And all of a sudden, he sees on the screen.

I'm sure that's not the case. Yeah, I feel like these days adoption is kept as secret. Yeah, you're right. But, I mean, there was a time where it's like people didn't want to know or they just kept it a secret. But if all of a sudden you got four sisters. I think about those birthdays. That's one every three months. Boom, just like that.

Now you've got to buy a gift every three months. That's a great story, though. Good for them for, say how old they are. They don't have their exact age. I like it when they're like 90. But then I also don't like that they missed the whole 90 years. Well, if they're 90, then that goes back to the maybe Greg didn't know he was ever adopted time frame. They don't do that back with that.

Great story, though. is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey,

or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Cliver Show.
