Best Bits: JUST THE BITS

It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan.

I feel just the bits.

Happy weekend, everybody. I hope your Fourth of July was awesome. As you've probably realized, we are on vacation, but this weekend new content on Part one and Part three with Eddie. We recorded it before we left for vacation, so you guys got some new stuff to listen to while we're out and really exciting this particular best Bits this weekend. Normally I count down from each show every week, but this one I'm doing the best segments from the Bobby Bone Show the last six months, so.

You can get caught up. Maybe if you've been out for.

A little bit or just having fun vacations and out live in your life and you miss a little bit.

Of the show, this is the time to catch up because.

These are not only the most engaged, the most viral moments, but the most called in about. These are the all top seven ones, so you won't miss a single thing.

Part one, Part three with Eddie.

But now let's dive in top Bobby Bone Show segments from the last six months. Back in February, Abby had her guitar recital. If you recall in twenty twenty three. Bobby had encouraged her to learn guitar so she could play for herself, and he gave her six months to learn a song and then complay it on the show. Well, February was after those six months where she learned and took some lessons and tried a bunch of different things, and she came on and played some songs on the guitar,

So this is Abby's guitar recital number seven.

Very exciting for us because our very own Abby is going to do her first ever recital here on the show. She has her guitar and Abby, we're so excited.

Thank you, y'all.

I am too.

We're going to officially play your interview music in a second. But six months or so ago, Abby was talking about playing a bar, but she had to hire a guitar player and then sometimes there'd be an issue.

Abby, why don't you learn to play guitar yourself?

No, I did I encourage her. I said, you're wasting your own money. I'm the one that put this. I inspired this, I did I inspired this.

You can't take credit for her playing guitar. Horror, so Abby, with you playing guitar, you went and you're making yourself very uncomfortable. You never played publicly before, right, You've been practicing at home and lunchbox. Deserve all the credit ahead of time.

Okay, I think he did it for this moment right here to.

Laugh at you.

Yes, but would you remember done it without me doing that?

I may have thank you?

That was a she accepted that I was.

This segment is not about you. This is about Abby.

Abby.

We're going to play this official music and then we're going to kind of feel what you're feeling. Okay, all right, hit it.

Here we go the Friday morning conversation with.

So Abby.

What kind of guitar do you have there?

So?

This is a tailor. It is a GS mini. I got a smaller one.

I play a mini and I do comedy.

You do red mini.

Yeah, So congratulations on your your guitar.

Did you buy that?

Yeah?

I did for this. I really got into the thing.

And then how often have you been practicing?

Every day? Early every day?

Are you negative, nervous or positive? Nervous right now.

I'm positive, but I'm because every time I play by myself at home, like I sound really good, and then if I play for one of my friends or something, I just I kind of mess.

Yes, yeah, okay, So what song in this recital are you gonna play for us?

First?

So I have Tennessee Orange by Megan Maroney.

And we're not gonna do the full song, right.

It's really long. I practiced it last night and I was like, man, this is just going on.

So so what are you gonna do? Like a verse and chorus?

Yeah, I can start like the second verse.

And whenever whatever you want, Abby is here. And how do you are your fingers calloused? Like to the point where it doesn't hurt anymore?

Yeah?

Yeah they are?

Okay, you guys reading any questions for our Abbey Lee Anderson playing the guitar for the very first time. She's been singing for a while. But here we go.

I think the MIC's falling, So is that okay?

I deal with it? Right?

Hey, you're doing a live show, so you say it's show bib, it's show bis baby, Well, just gonna be a guitar tech since Scoob.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you so much.

All right, Abby, are you ready to knock our socks off? I'm ready with Tennessee Orange. From Megan Maroney, a verse in a chorus, Here we Go.

Took me in Knoxville last Saturday, and I wore the head on. He's a dashed to the games, sure was, and nothing's but fell for him under those me But I'll met somebody and he's confluence. He opens the door.

And he don't make me cry. Here, come away, Froboddy feels like calme.

He's got me doing things I've never done.

In Georgia.

Day call in sin.

I'm wearing Tennessee Orange.

I can tell you so us because her hand's even shaking when she's trying to strump. Do you see that you're shaking? Yeah, it's normal. You only get nervous because things madd good or bad. You get nervous because thing's mad.

I don't want to shake though.

Okay, I'll take a breath. Yes, how did you feel about that performance?

Since my hands were shaking, they weren't like exactly on the chords, so they were a little off.

I would even say they are artists that come in that are really good that sometimes mess up will they're playing. But you know the difference is they just keep going and they don't even act like it's a thing.

It's just part of it.

So instead of and you do this too when you're doing karaoke, be like oh, instead of being like, oh, just keep going, who cares, We're not even gonna know.

Yes, just keep going. You need a breath, Just keep going.

Breath you take a breath.

Yeah, let's do this. Why don't we play a song? Let Abby gain or composure.

That was a rehearsal firm.

That was a rehearsal for the recital, and it was good, Abby, you're doing great.

We're gonna do that one again. And do you have another song you're gonna do too?

I do.

What's the other song?

It's a fun one, fishing in the dark along with me?

Okay, Abby's here, take a breath. Let's box your thoughts. Rehearsal.

Let's rehearsal.

Yeah, yeah, rehearsals a little rough, Okay. I was going into it.

I thought it was gonna be rough because she was cramming another room, having Eddie teacher a couple of things that was like.

Or go over stuff with.

I was like man, dude, she's cramming right now.

Cool artists do that backstage.

Yeah, they do it here in the Green notes. Right, okay, Abby, take a breath. That was a rehearsal we did a minute ago. You guys heard that. That was just us tinkering around. We didn't know where on the air. I was just like testing out her new guitar.

Yeah right, yeah, right now I'm ready.

A little calmer, yes, I think so.

Deep breath there you go, through your nose, at your mouth. You've been waiting for this moment I have. It's going to be so much better after this moment, regardless of how good you do here, because you've done the experience. You've seen. If you mess up, life doesn't end. If you do great, you're not elected president. So that way you can just keep going.

That's what I do.

I've bombed out before, and you know what, I realized, life ain't over, is really not that bad. But I needed to bomb to be able to see that. So I was comfortable with knowing my worst case scenario. And then I've done something, I've crushed it, and you know what, I didn't get a metal accommodation. So let that be your leader. Okay, Abby's here. She's got her guitar. She's not never played in public. This is her guitar recital. While she's singing, you know, I think of mentioning if

Yeah, let's do it.

Here she has in her recital. It's Abby Lee Anderson. All right, Abby.

Mom, mom calling, I've got some news. Don't you tell daddy, h blow fuse, don't worry. I'm new and okay.

I know he.

Raised me to know wh from wrong.

He ain't what you think.

And I'm still riting songs.

Just have a thought at see the day.

I've never felt this way.

I'm that somebody and he's gonna blue.

He opens the door and he don't make me crying.

Prom went from Honey.

Feel like calm.

He's got me doing things I've never done in George and me coming to sing I'm with in Tennessee.

Nice. Joy you for your vulnerability and you're doing a great job.

Okay, thank you, thank you.

So here's what I want to.

Say to you and ask you, did you find it difficult to sing and play at the same time because there's different things happening.

Yes, and there's even like more strumming. You're supposed to do this.

You have to put yourself down.

You don't put yourself that's true that.

I don't think it is when you're just strumming down once.

I don't think it is. But it took me a while to get that. Yeah, like a long time. It's just like you strum through and then you hum it and then you start singing.

You did a great job. How do you feel about that?

Pretty good? Yeah? Pretty good? Doesn't sound like on my couch, but good.

Lunchbox your thoughts?

Yeah, good job, Abby?

There you go all right now? Way, it's like a clip we have of him saying anything positive we play it.

I mean, it wasn't perfect, but you kept going, Hey.

Art isn't Yeah, what what art is? Perfect?

You're right? Abby?

Are you ready? What's the next song?

Unity?

For us and your recital?

Fishing in the dark? You guys have to sing with me?

I well, I already said impressed, and I stand by that proud, like genuinely proud of you, and then also motivated, like I'm sitting here thinking, you know, I don't know what it is. It could be it doesn't have to be an instrument, but it could be that if anybody else is thinking about picking up something or a hobby or starting something and they feel like, oh, it's too late in life, like Yo's not a hundred, she's not, But.

I mean, I.

Guess more so, I'm thinking of myself, like I'm about to turn forty three and there's things I want to do, and I'm like, now, Abby's motivating me.

It's good job, Abby, Eddie quickly, Oh yeah, look the ball's rolling.

So I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

That's great.

Keep practicing, Okay, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

Back in March, it was a wild turn of events.

We had miss Kelly come in the studio and she tested Amy Eddie Lunchbox and Bobby to see if any of them had dyslexia and dyscalcula. This all happened because Eddie came on the show and was like, I'm not good at math and also I think I have dyslexia. So we brought in an expert and tested everybody out on the air and it all played out some emotional moments, some funny.

Some awkward, you know the usual.

In case you missed this one, this happened in March, and you're about to hear who on the show if anybody has dyslexia or dyscalcula number six.

So Bobby Bones Show interviews.

In case you didn't know, we're going to do some dyslexia testing. Her name is Kelly Cole. She has a bachelor's degree from Southern Methods University, a doctorate of education, and she does this for a living.

She created her own business.

She works with kids, young adults and adults one to determine if they're dyslexic or there's a number version two. And we're going to take the tests. We're all gonna be supportive of each other. Yeah, of course, Okay, you guys, that's not good acting well, we do, man, and she is here now. Her website is knowledge charged dot com. Let's go.

I'm a little nervous here she is. Are you guys excited for the dyslexia tests.

Oh yeah, I don't understand why. That's just when you read things upside down.

Right sort of. We have an expert here. Let me let me give her credentials here. So she has a bachelor's degree from SMU. She has a doctorate of Education from SMU. She has a what's a ce er I Kelly.

International Dyslexia Association certification.

Got it?

And so you have CAC tutoring in Fort Smith, Arkansas. And you were a teacher first.

Yes, and then my son got cancer, so I left the profession. And then he was having a lot of trouble. We couldn't figure out if it was medical or learning disability, and at nine we diagnosed dyslexia. We drove twice a week, four and a half hours one way, wow, to get him therapy. And the doctor that was giving it was like, you have an education background, you have this, you could go back and do this. Oh wow, And so I

That's awesome, really cool.

So she she was already doing and specialized. And I bet you when you specialized with your son you found a lot of other people nearby that needed that as well.

Yes, I have a waiting list and can't everybody in It's.

Well, Eddie might be dyslexic. This is why we brought this up. Yeah, because you brought it to us. We didn't start calling you dyslexia Eddie.

Correct. No, I think I think I do.

I don't really don't know because I mix my words sometimes, so I'm assuming I probably have some sort of dyslexia.

And I see a lot of dys calcula just on things I hear.

And I see a solid dude that family.

Yeah, it's very is the disc calcula the numbers one?

Yes?

Oh yeah.

So here's what we're gonna do. What do I call you?

No, my daughter married a boy from Franklin, Tennessee.

Oh a marriage, yes, No, just to hang out then yes? Oh awesome. Do we call you doctor Kelly? Do we call you all?

My students call me miss Kelly? Okay, and their parents everybody.

So we're going to do some tests here throughout the hour with miss Kelly. And what kind of tests? Can you just give me a brief description of what we're going to do before we do it?

So the first one is going to be a reading evaluation. National average reading level is seventh grade, and so this test goes up to twelfth grade and it will just tell me where your reading level.

Is twelfth grade?

So does I'm starting it at fourth grade for you lunch?

Oh?

I mean, come on, cee spot go.

That's like kindergarten brh. So how does this first test work? Do we read it? Do you give us something to read?

I am going to give you a list of thirty words, and I switched everybody's lists up so you wouldn't hear some of the words that the other person reads. And I will be making notes on how your pronunciation is. How do you pause before certain.

Things we're reading out loud?

Yes, my heart is sort of like I'm very old, hold.

On everybody and pronounce his words different. So to judge me on that.

She's not judging you, Oh she is.

Many people do and it's nothing intellectual. I mean, you are still obviously super smart, no matter if you have dyslexia or not.

But I don't know if I have it. I just know that it's like always like maybe it's just coming up for me because I don't know. School was so hard for me and I never addressed it.

Well.

It feels like if you're like born when we were born, there will be these after school specials and someone would be fighting something and at the end he would go like, I can't read. And I feel like Amy was gonna say that, like finally announced to it she couldn't read.

I don't know what.

Maybe I'm just like hormonals.

Amy, I get what you're saying, or hormonal Amy. Did you finish your list?

I'm perimen apostle?

Sure, yeah, and she didn't.

I'm so smart, show my skills a gain in this. I don't even know what in like that in means?

Right, we don't have to know the definition to pronounce.

Okay, Yeah, that's what I would, That's what but I didn't. I don't know what it means being honest with you guys. Okay, So she's gonna do our scores to take a second, already have them, I have yours.

Hold back.

Make her cry, No, that's not she didn't make me cry.

I think it's this is a vulnerable thing for me of like something I've always thought, and we're doing it in a very public way, which is fine. I signed, I don't I'm doing that. I just can't help the real like reaction and emotion that's coming up because of it. I'm sure I'm not the only person to react this way.

Are onions while doing it, So some of my mom's volunteered for me to practice on them before I came up, and I had a mom in tears. Her little boy seized me for dyslexia, and I tested her and she's like, I knew that was where it came from, and that was right before I came up.

She was okay, okay, well then if you have you need a break to do the scores? Are you good?

I'm good?

Okay. Who do you want to do?

First?

You read on a twelfth grade level?

Of course?

Boom?

What do you know?

Millennium silver came into use in the third millennium.

Okay, I definitely do not.

I think I missed one name. If you only missed one, I'm kidding.

Man, Yes, write your name so I know whose paper is he.

I can count about five. Feel terrible about Get off my paper, turn it in. Stop looking at Eddie's. Stop looking at Eddi's.

You're not passing paper, you idiot.

WHOA yes, yes, he's looking at both of them.

It's on the back. I can't see it.

Yeah, we're up to no good, give her the paper.

What are you talking about?

It over to Amy.

I literally can't see it.

Hig mine up and then Cheeter. What we'll do is we'll play a song and then we'll come back and we'll get grades from miss Kelly. She's like a few minutes to greade on. Okay, yeah, if so, what's that?

What's that?

A on this?

Or twelfth grade? Or how the is it?

Fifteen sixteen out twenty twenty out of twenty twenty out of two. Oh, nobody's gonna be a senior here about to go back?

Twenty out of twenty is a senior?

Okay, we'll come back in one second. We'll give miss Kelly a few minutes to grade. We are doing a dyslexia test. If you missed the first part of the test, including a very emotional moment from Amy vulnerable, very You can listen on the podcast.

She's still not talking, she isn't.

I just keep getting more and more nervous.

Is that how you would do a test?

Too?

Nervous? On tests?

Like when it was sat a c T. Would you get nervous going into it?

Oh?

Yeah, I hated them. Yeah, like I have a lump in my throat. It's fine.

Miss Kelly is administering a dyslexia test to us.

She got her doc Dread of Education at SMU and the first test we did was pronunciation of words. Some words we didn't even know what they meant. The second test was spelling, which I felt terrible about. How did you guys feel? Did you feel like that was harder or easier than the first test? A little easier, Eddie goes easier? Ay, Oh harder.

I'm not good at spelling. I don't really spell things. I'm a reader though, and I don't understand.

But whatever. I never claimed to be a speller either in school.

None of us have really.

I never made the spelling be whatever crap that was.

You never made it. You didn't get to play the first round.

No, they were like, oh, who wants to be in it? I don't want to be in that crap?

Good is it?

Because you weren't good? Because I would do that too, like who wants And I'll be like, no, I don't want to. But really I knew I just wasn't like gonna make it.

I knew I'd have to study, not for you. Yeah, that's not my jam.

We did our first test and Amy would late seventh grade. Lunchbox was early eighth grade. Eddie was ninth.

Grade grade high school poser. Eddie Yes, was it's just me, dude.

What do you mean poser?

He doesn't read like that he was using.

He was pronounced.

I was trying to be clear with my words.

I was twelfth grade, very happy about that.

You're a senior, but.

This is about to not go good for me. Here, okay, miss Kelly, we're coming back over to you. You've graded the.

Spelling exams, and how do you want to give the results.

Well, you did get the best score, okay at eleventh grade.

Oh how many they get out of twenty?

That you got sixteen out of twenty?

I thought I missed four or five. Wow, in eleventh.

Grade what was the easiest when he missed, you're still led?

No lead led the way led.

I was staking lead like anol.

I know that one.

I did l e A D two.

Man, we're the same, We're like same.

I'm an idiot. Okay, thank you, Okay, next up, we'll see it for the same. Hold on, all right, and I'm in eleventh grader. Here go ahead, Eddie.

You're in eighth grade.

Hey, oh, I went back down though I was a freshman ninth.

And eighth year. This is hard.

When he was senior, went to junior.

Okay, Amy, ninth grade, I did get led, good for you? And lunch box ninth grade boom place.

I don't know.

I'm still average out everybody spells?

Is he in last place on the spelling in this place game?

Come on, he just said he got easier and he got he dropped, guys, let's make fun of him.

Why make fun of me?

Guys?

Come on, make fun of my conditions.

Okay, So Eddie, we don't make fun of dyslexia.

Lunch, yes, lunch, but I'm not making fun of you.

I'm making fun of him.

So, Eddie, what were your two grades so far?

Ninth grade and seventh grade.

Okay, Lunchbox yours eighth and.

Ninth, and Amy Boom seventh and ninth.

Okay, cool, we got one more test to go.

And by the way, I can tell how you all were in school, which is wild because your inner child is coming out where Lunchbox just won't shut up during a test and like needs the attention to divert from the fact that he's not getting his stuff done and doesn't even know it.

No, but that's that's what you've been. No, you've been you've been doing.

You're like, oh, joke, jokey.

I hear you.

I got the second place in the spelling me and I was diverting.

I was still a second place still ninth grade. That's still solid, I hear you. But Amy, I can see her. She's just so nervous about it, all nervous about when she's taking it, before she takes it after it's over. And Eddie just like doesn't wanly been made fun of. He's just trying to quietly get through it and not be made fun of. And I would imagine this is how all of you guys were when your kids, pretty much, which is pretty crazy to see what were you doing just writing crap down.

That was trying to get it over. No, wasn't going to disease that one. I was hating myself.

I was like, I'm an idiot.

Okay, we have one test left and we're gonna do it in just a second. What's our next test?

Miss?

This is your processing of letters? Okay, So it is going to be a bunch of letters. Some of them are backwards, thirty of them.

Okay, we'll come back. We'll do our final test.

Whoa, So we gotta go backwards when we see it, you.

Jump forward or backward, you turn around.

You're gonna circle the backwards letters. You have ninety seconds.

Let's break. We'll come right back right last part of the test. So explain, miss Kelly. We're gonna look at these pages and some of the letters are forwards, summer backward.

Yes, this is testing your auditory processing.

We don't look at the page when you give it to us, right, Okay, thank you. Miked is administering how many letters are on this page? You're asking too many questions.

No, No, I'm just saying because if I have ninety seconds, I just want to know.

There's thirty wrong.

So we're gonna have ninety seconds, Ray, are you ready to strut?

No?

I didn't look and I didn't see anything.

So are we gonna flip this paper around and know exactly what to do here?

Or there is a grid with letters in it. You circle the ones that are backwards.

Okay, we have ninety seconds. When she says start, we'll start.

Okay, Okay, what are you doing wrong? Oh's all right?

No, I did that a couple of times.

Okay, So I'm dying. Do I give it to you?

Do I?

Can?

I keep going? Okay?

See at thirty.

Mm hmmm, damn are you crying again?

No, I'm just snifting right.

We don't know what I'm done.

We care for you.

I'll second done? Can I can? I?

Uh?

When I actually only circle to one? Do I say it?

No?

I messed up?

Put an x O.

Time Ray? Now, time.

Down?

Everybody turn him in high name, don't Mike.

Make sure that don't do letters. I'm not.

I don't know why I was. In the beginning, I was looking for words, complete words that were.

Puzzle I was.

I was searching for words, and I was like, I don't see any words.

You weren't. Is that like because you weren't listening.

I don't know.

No, I'm not saying that a bad way like you weren't. You were so tight and nervous that maybe didn't even hear what she.

Was Yeah, and then I went back and I read the instructions on the top.

Did you do that sometimes in school where the teacher would explain it and then you'd start taking a test and realize you weren't doing the test, right?

I do that? Yeah, that too, Okay, Right, we're gonna break. We'll come back get the final result of this and find out and then Eddie, I think she has one other test for you, Oh the number one.

Possibly, Yeah, we'll.

Come back next here we'll see who the most.

Exlected is on the show.

It's a weird one.

Miss Kelly is here. She owns her own business. It's KC Tutoring. She started at seven years ago. She has a bachelor's and a doctorate of education from SMU. And we've been taking spelling reading in this one was dyslexia screening because some of the letters are reversed right, and so we've been doing all hour taking basically adyslexia test. Miss Kelly, I don't know what to do here because you have the pages. Do you want to give us any results here?

So it's not really a pass or fail. It's a needs intervention or not or further test?

Did anybody need intervention too? You get to chill You don't know that you gotta chill out on them.

It's second, I know I nailed it, like I was done. Second you were done version. We were at the top of the class. These guys are like, hey, they need extra test time?

Great, man, cool?

Can we lunchbox?

Did miss a few? But he did pass?

What's his great?

There's no great, there's no no intervention?

Intervention? What'd I tell you? Okay?

Did I forget to circle a couple or what?

Yes?

I'm sor right? I was going with speed.

Bobby's was perfect, no errors. That's so great? What's it like?

Seriously?

Hey, Bobby, who knew who the two that need intervention?

Was?

I right?

You have to let them get what they need further test.

They're not letting them be themselves and letting them be vulnerable here because yes, it's it's great to find out what it is that's the benefit, Like you now know, well, we're about to find out where that is funny to him, like he's always gonna make fun of it as No.

Because you guys were making fun of me when I was only in eighth grade of the first test and guess what, Ednie, I just passed you.

Okay, hold on, everybody, relaxs Okay, miss Kelly, go ahead, Okay.

So it does show that Amy has signs of dyslexia, and it's not that she is not super intelligent, and she is actually more intelligent than someone without dyslexia because they she has learned to compensate and do very well with having an actual deficit.

Yeah, especially people over there that are laughing, we all look at And also it's like taking if you take your car and it's like something something is just wrong, and they go, no, there's nothing wrong with that. You're like, well, craft, that sucks. You kind of want to know what's wrong so that way, if it keeps acting up, you can fix it. So he congratulations, you have just lee you.

Yeah.

I never really wanted to know, I guess I mean, do you know what I mean? No, I mean I want to know now.

But I think there was always I think that's the emotion that came out early on was like there was always a fear there.

And well there's things that I can give you, things that you can use that. Well, you will see a difference.

Which is awesome.

Okay, Eddie, he needs intervention or further testing, like.

You miss a lot?

So? Is min an intervention of further testing?

Or is it like?

Okay, so where the city?

Yeah, here's a light intervention, Eddie has get the TV show out here.

No, she didn't say that.

She said he missed a lot though.

Who missed the most?

Ay? But I believe it was because she didn't understand these.

Oh for sure, she was looking for words in it for a while.

That's why I said you have to circle.

She's finding words? He okay?

So?

And how severe? I don't even know how to ask the question in a proper way. How quickly do they need intervention? If they were a child, would you say you need to start right now?

Yes? But the younger you start, the better. Public schools don't test until fourth grade. That's when I get a lot of my students, and by that time they're three and four years behind. I currently have several high schoolers that I'm literally teaching the different letters too.

So here is the deal? Here, Eddie, you are an eighth grader that needs a intervention. Lunchbox, you're an eighth grader. You need an invention for something different for your heart. Amy, you're an eighth grader who needs intervention.

Bones You've graduated, you're in college.

I'm okay, I want to keep me out of this, but.

I'd be farther along than Eddie because I obviously, well it's not a comparison, but I just did He just no, he's just telling us where we stand well as now.

Actually, Eddie has learned to compensate on the same level even though he has dyslexia as Lunchbox, who does not right?

Which?

Right?

Which is Eddie?

Like, there's really great people who've had dyslexia who've had to learn other skills like they they've had to develop personal skills, they've had to develop ways, and that is what allowed them to succeed was their hyper development of other things.

So Eddie has an Amy both have a bit of that. And basically she's saying, like, if I didn't have legs and lunch Box did, we finished the race at the same time. That's awesome, finished last.

Yeah, but we're not comparing.

But what.

I like the way we try to sugarcoat it, be like, oh, but they've overcome, so.

We try to make them feel better, and that's good. I like the way you guys do. That's a good way. That's a good fact.

But if they have dyslexia and they're still the same as you, that is them overcoming a bit. You don't have dyslexia and you're the same as them.

But I did better than them on two of the tests, so I'm better than them.

I would.

I did better than Amy on two of the three tes two and three tests. I did better than Eddie, so they really aren't on my level.

I'm Eddie.

It's fine lunch if you want to be.

Eddie was ninth grade in the first one, you were eighth.

So I second one, I was in ninth and he was in seventh, and I beat him. He needed an intervention.

I didn't.

So I beat him two out of three, so that.

Means he wasn't a score test it say yes or no, right, but.

Pass vail he passed.

I thought I got all the last tests right. You did, yeah?

I thought I circled count thirty They were thirty.

Oh there was thirty.

Oh, I didn't count thirty count. I just circled what I thought was right wrong.

This is where they.

Never heard that part, Miss Kelly.

Thank you. Obviously we had to be vault So how do we chest further?

It's too late though, right, miss Kelly, Like, we're I'm forty four years old.

Is there things that they can do? Are they things?

Had a twenty eight year old single mom come to me and she was on a kindergarten level and within six months we were on a third grade. So making progress?

What can they do?

They're like, I turned forty three next week or something.

Yeah, yeah, our time's coming, gone right?

Or thirty four?

No?

Like on the math part, I have lots of tips.

To give you, Eddie that I think I haven't even done that yet.

Yeah, caculator, are we.

Going to because it's going to be horrible.

For who We should all do that.

We can.

We can do the math and we'll just put it on the podcast.

But but please, Lunchbox can't make fun of me on the math one.

Well, he can get into too.

We mean, I can't make funny, make fun We're doing.

Everybody and everything that's part of who he is though, Like the math and I'll do the thing. I'm like Lunchbox stop, and I'm secret laughing inside.

You can't take it personally, Eddie, but the.

Math one to me is like Amy, like I might cry on the math on even that's okay, we'll laugh, but I'll be like lunchbox stop being mean, But secretly inside I'll be like, that's funny because Eddie wanted this to happen.

But we all love each other.

Yeah.

Like my kids asking me for help with their math homorgan I'm like, I don't know, Like I'm googling, Like I'm like Chad GPT.

I have my kids one time with their homework and they gunth one time with their math.

Well it was probably process non answ.

Yeah, okay, I'm proud of you guys.

Thank you.

Good job.

Thanks man. Yes, lunchbox a good job.

I had no problem I see in high school. Well right now, these guys.

Miss Kelly, thank you very much. You guys go to knowledge charged dot com. Thank you with Kelly.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

You know, it's super wild.

I joined the show and I was twenty three, and over the past seven years I have shared the ebbs and flows of dating and all the ups and downs and relationships I've had in breakups, and it's always weird when I kind of reflect on all of that. But these past six months have kind of also been a

Fun, but you know, some people to get a little seriously.

Overall well received, and then in May, a couple months later, I shared some big breaking news about my relationship status. So we are back on the ebbs and flows of my relationship here on the best bits, and we're going on it together.

Number five or get have been single for how long?

About a year?

Yeah?

I'm thirty, just turn thirty.

Never been married, never been married? You're not You're you're out on the prowl.

Yeah.

Do you feel like you're the aggressor at times?

I feel like.

Sometimes I have to be, because guys just don't do it anymore, Like they don't want to go up to women anymore.

Why do you think that is?

I think it's partially that they're worried is coming off as creepy, and partially that they're just done doing it, like they're tired of yeah, tired of going up to women, tired of being rejected, which I get it, Like I feel that I'm tired of dating.

We're done as humans then, I know.

Last I also think guys too. You know you're not taught to have to be as alpha and macho as generation. Yeah, yeah, that's just slowly not been the thing as much forever. It's not anything we've done or but think about the fifties, a baby get in the car. Now sixties, you know, you can just walk walk in in every generation it's

So but Morgan's been and I wanted to do this.

Hit me with that musically, this is business music what I like about Morgan, and she's taking this thing clinical. So Morgan, how many days did you go on in December?

I went on ten first dates ten.

She has a whole spreadsheet of every single thing happening she's done the data here. Okay, so what are you gonna talk to us about?

Well, do you want to see my presentation? Because I did. I put it together.

It's a freaking power point.

Wow, this is a business meeting.

This is how you do it. If it's not working one way, switch it up and doing another.

Okay, it allows me to see it in numbers in December.

Dating in December is what it says. Okay, Okay, I like it all right.

So ready, Three out of ten dates just wanted to party the whole time.

Thirty percent of dudes only want to go and get drunk.

Yes, they were just there to have a good time.

Okay, that's a party rock slide.

So yeah, I have have funny titles on all of ose.

I let you read the titles, Bobby, the title here smooth Talkers.

Five out of ten dates actually had great conversation to bring to the table.

Were there anything were on the border and You're like, I don't know if I should do that.

They were good or not?

And you were like, there's probably one that was on the border. There was four that were really solid, but one I was like, okay, he can lean into it.

Is it that there's smooth talkers, because smooth to me feels like somebody who's trying extra hard to do extra much or did you just hit it off with them more.

It's hard to tell because I'm a really good talker, So I'm not sure if I'm just really good at talking to a brick wall.

Yeah, yeah, like I can bring a lot out of somebody.

I'm really good at interviewing and finding information out about people.

So it's hard for me to tell.

These were the ones I could tell they were also good at it.

Were any of them just real bad and you know immediately it's not going to work?

Yes?

There was one.

How did that go?

I just kind of went through the motions and I kind of treated it.

Like, Okay, this is just me hanging out with a friend and we're getting lunch that I'll never see again.

And then do you try to eat fast a little bit?

Yeah?

You try to move along.

Next slide Crying through awkwardness.

What one out of ten dates was awkward that I nearly cried in the bathroom?

Which is that one?

Yeah?

Why would that make you emotional?

More like cry out of like cringing? More like, Okay, I got to get out of this. I don't know how to get out of it.

I'm really bad at rejecting things, so I'll just kind of sit there and deal with it. Versus I know a lot of people who can just like be like, Okay, I'm done, I'm leaving, whereas I just went through the whole thing the motion, like I finished the date.

Wait, people don't they They just in the middle. They just are like, Okay, this isn't working. Some mody as well, save each other's time.

In a yew And this guy was very adamant about us going out to eat on the first date, where I really like to go for coffee or a drink or make it pretty of a chill first date. And he was really adamant about eating on the first sight.

And it was very awkward. It was just awkward from start to finish.

Because he loved food or is it because he just felt like that was his environment to shine.

Yeah, maybe he knows he needs more time to hunt, or.

Maybe he'd like if it's really good food, yeah, like like you can't leave.

Oh yeah, gosh, so he little awkwardness.

Okay, next up, this one's just title cringe.

Okay, one out of ten dates. There was a near miss of my world's colliding exes. No, so I went on two dates, one on a Friday night, one on a Saturday, and they both chose the same restaurant, so I had the same server.

That's awesome. Now was the server a plus? Yes?

He didn't say anything, and he just treated it like he never saw me before?

Did he? Do you think he remembered you?

Yeah, he totally did, because when he came to the table, his eyes kind of got really big, and then he just went back and was like, how are you guys?

Have you been here before?

And I was like a plus.

Good job, man, a man? So you know what to be rewarded somehow someway, not financially by Morgan or anything, but like in life, I hope something good befalls you.

Maybe he's the dude after all?

This was he cute.

He was cute, but not somebody i'd pursue.

Okay, got it?

Maybe not all right?

Next up, Hometown Hero.

One out of ten dates happened in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

You did a date home, Yeah, you know, trying some different things.

I like that.

So was it a setup or an app?

It was an app okay, and.

How did that go?

It was good.

He was a good match, and I mean I was pleasantly surprised. But I did have to go through a lot of people on the dating apps in.

Which daw that I was not going to go on a date with.

I'd be so annoyed if I was that dude, because it's like, you're this dude in Wichita, You're probably has a good career, good life.

You meet a great girl and she doesn't even live in the same.

Town, right.

I did put that I lived in Nashville.

No, I know, but I'm saying, you're like, you're like, wow, she's really cool. Oh man, she lies like eight hours away.

That's all I hear right now is.

What happened with that dude? You get talk to him at all.

So he's actually a big traveler, and so he'll be coming through Nashville and I think we may go on another date.

Then good for you?

All right?

What else?

That's cool?

City of Dreamers.

Nine out of the ten dates we're in Nashville, Tennessee.

Got it?

So how many more are these?

I like it?

I make sure I know.

I think that's four more.

Okay, good, I do twenty more. I just don't know when it ends.

I don't either.

Okay, this one says, so I can kiss you anytime I want.

Reference to my favorite movie Sweet Home Alabama. Three out of the ten dates went in for the first kiss on the first day.

Wow, this is like where the thirty Well, y'all, where else did you get on the hand?

Okay, guys, this is not what I meant, Like, I'm pretty sure Morgan meets them, Like, they don't pick her up at her house for first dates, so I'm curious where they kiss, Like on the sidewalk outside the rest up at the restaurant.

Two of them were when they walked me to my car at the end of the date, and one was at the bar.

What's the typical move now, the guy walking you to the car? Do you know what's coming?

Is it slow?

I was like, well, this was a lot of fun, Like is it how does it happen? Now?

It's very awkward.

I have like I've noticed that it's just gotten more increasingly awkward.

They aren't very smooth with it.

It's kind of like a very awkward they're going for the hug and then it somehow kind of happens.

They like slight.

Yeah, it's not very smooth.

What about the bar was just drunk?

Yeah, I think I think we both had like two drinks and it was just we're having fun and it felt right.

Yeah, that's good. That's that One's that one. That one's better.

That one was smooth.

The car ones are the ones that are awkward, like you gotta.

I know, my wife crushes me about the first time I kissed her.

I don't even know how was that.

I don't think it was as bad as she says she was just I don't know.

Have you asked her? Because she makes me feel seem like an awkward person because you're not that Okay, go ahead, next one, same day, Sally.

Zero out of ten of the dates did I go on the same day, So I improved.

I didn't.

Oh you mean you didn't do to one day? You got it?

Okay?

Good like I did the month before, missed opportunity.

Only two of the ten dates earned themselves a second date.

Wow.

Her burn ratios, which tall one of the two yes and only one of the other nine in town are Nashville does just losers because it's like the industry and they feel like they have to be cool, because the industry is kind of cool a little bit.

I mean, that's why I call it the City of Dreamers.

I feel like people come here chasing a dream and they're not really here to find a family or settle down.

They're very focused on living a dream.

You know. That's interesting And that wasn't what I was meaning, but that's interesting too, Like their focus is on their dream this and like, you know, have a little fun. But if you come and let's say, you're kind of overwhelmed or it's a lot Nashville's cool.

Everybody's got a good singer, tattoos.

Are You're like, well, I got to be cooler than I really am, and so you put up this I'm cooler image, or you get tached and all of a.

Sudden you're kind of a douche.

And so a lot of dudes are douches, not because they're actually douchy people, because they feel like they have to have that.

Image just trying to keep up.

I do think there's some of that for sure.

Okay, and I think this is my last one, check please okay. Ten out of ten dates paid for the first date nice. Ten out of ten dates I.

Fake reached for my wallet.

Nice.

Both great.

Yeah, and they said you so you do the fake reach and they're like, no, no, no, no, I got.

Always fake reach.

I got a question, what if one of them would have said, yeah, let's split.

It, then she splits it, I would have done it reach it.

Okay, No, no, no, I'm talking about if they were one of the two guys that earned a second date, would they still have earned a second date?

Probably not, just because I I.

Opinion.

Yeah, and we always say, oh god, did not debate for the first day, and she gets and how she dates and who she dates.

Yeah, yeah, the two I feel the exact same way Morgan.

So yeah, I'm like the first date. Yes, I'm also not expecting a fancy.

I got two women here that make really great living. I really great, probably more than any dude. They're going to date both of them.

Okay, it's gonna be problematic, probably because our generation can't.

That's Morgan, that's.

Awesome, that's my dating.

And December, did you get all this on video?

Eddy?

Oh?

Yeah, I have it again.

Just put this all off as a power point.

I'd like to get those slides from you, please. I got you.

So maybe in the spring you know, if you're still single, give us like a you know, January through March PowerPoint. I hope it ends with and here he is, yes, the final slide.

No more meetings.

I did eat the grapes under the table.

I saw that and that what does that mean?

I don't know, ye Spanish Mexican.

I never heard of it.

And then she had Eddie on the shoulder like, you should know that you're Spanish Mexican.

Thing.

Don't know Spanish Mexican.

Do know your own culture?

Huh, that's the thing.

It's supposed to bringing you good luck and prosperity and love.

Well, Morgan, good luck, thank you and prosperity and love.

Did the winch tal guy listen to the show? No, that's that's good. That's wow. I mean not that it's bad if they do, but which like which.

What's bad as if they do and they lie?

Yeah, he said he listens everybody in which.

Someone what's bad? Hold on? Hold on because you can't punish people for liking the show. What you can punish them for lying they don't listen. There's a big difference. So oh, this brings up QUI because I would do that with.

Friends A lot of people I would meet. I was like, can't I can't be their friend.

They're like, and you know, they'd be in the music industry, right, and she would go, wait, wait, wait, you can't punish them because of this. Now if they're acting this way because they're in the music industry and you're so you need to stop doing so. Similarly, I've had to kind of adapt that adopt that adapt to that.

Okay question.

My friend met a guy that has a very popular podcast, and he approached her and was like, hey, you know, have we met? You know, just they're at the same place and they may often Yeah, she listens to it, but she didn't.

Oh.

She just was like, oh no, we haven't met. And then they met.

She's jumping Okay, well what I like, I text him right now and be like he didn't get her number yet.

Next time she's been like, oh my god, whatever, She's like, I don't want to say it, but I like your podcast.

I let's do it.

Okay, because once he finds out, he'll think it's a super fan stalker killer, or he doesn't care.

He's gonna sec move on anyway.

Oh well, okay, okay, Really that's.

The two things.

But there's gonna be no, no, he's not gonna trust to have a relationship with her.

Okay, Okay, thank you for saying that, because I was gonna like, shoot, I'll have to ask, well, because I don't know what what would Joe do? She didn't say it right away, but you know him, all right, I got.

For those that are new, Oh, the trials and tribulations of Morgan, Yeah, having a boyfriend and not, then having a boyfriend and not, and then looking not and then she yeah, and then she meets this guy and man in uniform and he disappears and comes back, and Amy's like he's living a double life, and we're.

Like, right, that was a theory.

Yeah, yeah, you were very strong.

Yeah, but you're strong now that they're officially together. All back off. I will until he proves he's innocent.

Now, okay, he was a little guilty of he was guilty.

But so Morgan, why, I don't know.

I don't know what to ask because I don't know much about it. So you kept a secret.

Good job. What's up?

Well, we've been dating.

I mean we've been We started like we met each other beginning of March, so.

That's kind of the timeline.

And he's just a lovely, incredible human.

You met him where we met on him?

And did you have a bunch of little fires going at the time or was one of your times when you quit for a long time and went back.

No, but I had just changed my dating profile.

I had been more intentional about what I was putting on my dating profile, so went from like fun and flirty to like a little flirty but mostly serious.

So what about him on the app stood out to you?

He just seemed like, I don't know, like something about just the way he presented himself, like in his pictures.

He just seemed like very cool, calm, collected and like nice.

So how did you guys define the relationship?

It happened after he had got back and was just like it was it gone again?

No, this was the time, like after he got back, and I've just been kind of sitting on it and enjoying it.

He was just like I like, I'm so happy you're still around because doing what he does, he's used to people not being able to deal with the fact.

That he's gone for work.

By the way, I think I'm the only one that really knows what he does.

You are because I think she told me I had to write it down so I could protect it, so because I know I can protect it a bit.

But okay, yeah, so he came back, He's like, dang, Like, I'm surprised.

We went on.

We had like a whole weekend together, like just going on dates and hanging out, and then at the end of the weekend that conversation happened.

Who brings it up?

You were him, well, I've kind of made a joke.

And was like, not really joke, joke. I got you.

Well, I was like, this feels like.

Girlfriend duties, and he was like, well, yeah you are, and I was like, wait, what d And then the conversation happened.

Okay, that's pretty cool.

It was the girlfriend duty.

I don't know, I want to ask.

I was meeting a lot of his friends, a lot of his people that were close to.

Him, and I was like, these are girlfriend responsibilities.

And there was a reason I didn't follow up that.

Hey, everybody can ask a question.

I'll allow it question, but yes or no or super specific because you know some people are going to go way specific and you don't want to. I don't know where you want to be.

Yeah, that's true.

Well she can choose to say, Okay.

Yeah, Amy, what is your question?

I'll go first?

How tall is he?

I think he's like five eight five nine Morgan's five.

Foot though, that's true.

You are we little?

Everybody everybody's taller than me, that's true.

Yeah, okay, you know I thought it'd be taller.

Interesting, I didn't think he'd be taller.

Okay, he's a short king.

Maybe gets another question?

Oh, I asked that one's yeah, I guess you have one.

In addition to that was a good one though, Well how much are y'all hanging out now that it's changed, like as y'all's hanging out, is it more or less?

Are you still like living your lives individually?

Does he have a tan on his finger? Okay? So still both very independent, both very independent.

We're both traveling a lot right now, but lots of facetimes, lots of hanging out in person.

It's a good mix of both right now.

Lunchbox, a lot of FaceTime. Yeah, like he's gone again face time.

He has to travel. Oh my gosh, So I can't be what I'm gonna be mad at something?

For traveling for work?

How you get one question? He just asked it?

Why do you keepay fifty fty life time he gets here under?

Yeah?

Life?

Okay, Eddie, go ahead.

How different is this guy from any of your other boyfriends?

Question?

Because she's really picked some losers.

Okay, no offense to me either.

I think you'd call them losers though, to to be fair.

Very different.

I mean, he's just everything about him is different than what I would normally date.

We're our personalities are pretty different.

He's much more cool.

Like I said cool, he's very cool, com collect a very patient, very like, great listener, and very secure in himself.

Is he jacked or is that two questions?

That's two?

I hold out until next round.

Okay, okay, I hold it.

I feel like he's going. I don't even know what he looks like, but I feel like he's not a guy that wears a lot of hair product and chains.

He doesn't does.

That's kind of like Morgan's old type. Yeah, hair product and chains. This guy though, I feel like that's not him and I don't even know, but I'm happy for you, thank you.

Has he done any more of those like I don't.

Even know where you're going with stalker things? No, like he is he?

No, I didn't say that, like when he got her, he's like, they're not elaborating, that's what it's called.

Yeah, he loved bombs anymore.

He's not love bombing.

He just loving like, but he's done very.

Sweet gestures yet, But what's one of me. We haven't shared with this yet.

What was that?

Interesting?

I'm trying to figure out what to share.

Hold, hold it, We'll come back.

Okay, this is already a lot. This is already a lot.

It's really cool, though, it's really cool.

I wanted to be a happy we are we are.

Stop putting me in that category. I feel like things I say are not necessarily.

Under like under us went fifty to fifty life like.

So that's good.

They have their fitt No, that's not what you meant. Congratulations, We're gonna.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number.

Two just recently. This is coming in super high on the list because it was a big moment. Eddie got hair, well, he got a hair system, but it looks like hair and if you don't know.

Him, you would have never known. And it was a big deal because.

He was going to get a transplant. Then he decided not to and then a lady came in and gave him his whole hair system and it was a huge change for Eddie and he's still trying to decide how he feels about it. But nonetheless, it was a huge, huge segment because Eddie went from not having a whole lot of hair on his head to having a whole bunch of hair on his head.

Number four in studio right now, Julie Taylor, owner of Jbanks Salon and Nashville hair Replacement. Am I saying that?

Right?

Okay, So Julie, we're here because Eddie is.

I'm here to make Eddie look ten years younger.

Yeah?

Can we do fifteen?

I could do fifteen? Is that what you typically see with it's a hair amazing and the confidence that they shine through after they get hair, they feel like themselves again.

I have so many questions, and so let's roll through some questions because what's going to happen is we're gonna let Eddie and Julie go off, and she's gonna because I don't let's talk about the but Eddie's gonna have a new head of hair today.

It is amazing.

So what is the process? You'll leave this room with Eddie and what do you do?

It's a pretty simple process. I mean, it's non surgical hair replacements.

Is that his hair you're gonna put on his head?

Yeah?

Like now, but you guys, it will look natural when I get it on you.

Okay, so you will. That won't be my hairstyle.

No, that's not going to be your hairstyle. I mean, unless you want.

That's pretty cool, shaggy dog.

So you're gonna cut it. I'm gonna cut the heck out of it. Okay, it will look like a natural. It's gonna look like his hair will not know.

So what do you do? So you will say, walk out with Eddie. When you guys do your thing. You he takes his hat off, do you like shave part of his head?

I am going to shave you a grandpa haircut today, so.

He looked like doctor Phil and the top of his head.

He will for a minute.

And how long will this thing stay on his head before like it starts.

To like fall monthly maintenance. Once a month you come to the salon, I take it off.

So your haircut it is.

Yeah, I mean that's that's all it takes to wear a system.

So once that thing is on my head, that's that's my wig.

It's yours.

Do you call it feels like it's wig insulting?

Yea wig and two pay are insulting. I hear you're calling it a system. The technology in this it's a it's a modern men's hair system.

I'm not worried though if I do a little dive off the diving board that's going to fall.

Off at the pool.

It will never fly off like you see in the movie.

Yet. Ever, I'm so excited about this, and I do drive a jeep and I love the hair in my wind idea, like I've been dreaming about that.

Oh, my clients live their best life with the wind in their hair. Yes, wouldn't you say, my clients?

Do you have to book them like with a buffer in between or do they mind if clients see clients you know, because I feel like, oh, they might not want.

To That's a good point, Like they don't want to run into somebody else who's giving it.

You have a thirty minute buffer, So we don't have that yet, we do have private rooms. I would say fifty percent of the clients that wear these, they they want to flaw on it. They don't care that people know that they're wearing it.

Like yeah, what my boob joby okay?

Right right?

You know other clients that the high profiles, I can do them, you know, on a day off. For certain hours of the salon are closed and stuff.

Like that, how long have you been doing this version of your work?

This version about five years?

And what's the.

Difference, because again, we've we've only seen movies where the people's like fall off, where you're like, they're like pointing and they have no idea.

But this is so far past that, right, so far past it.

There's so many tape and glue options. We're going to go in and go with the basic option for you, Eddie, just with with glue and like I said, you won't even feel it.

You're going to be surprised.

Okay, So we're going to keep her on here for a secondhere with Julie Taylor. She is the owner of jay Bank Salon and Nashville Hair Replacement. Are you Are you trying to cut hair as well?

Oh?

Yeah, I do it all really but mainly this is all I do.

Do you have clients all over the country because our show is all over the country. So Nashville Hair Replacement dot Com. What do we call it, Julie, because we don't say to Pey.

A hair system?

Okay, my system?

Man to save it alone, Julie's hair and Eddi's gonna have new hair with a new hair system in the next hour. So we'll do we'll do the reveal on the air. And Eddie, what are your thoughts You're about to get a new hair system?

I have questions?

Go ahead?

Is that real hair?

It's human hair?

My gosh, what do we get the hair?

I have a US manufacturer that does this, and distributor and stuff. I keep most of the hair systems in stock at the salon.

One on Earth. I'm wearing somebody else's But it's not somebody who died and like gave you their hair, maybe like an organ.

It's like somebody who just donated.

Wow.

Like so when I donated my hair, I could have been a them on someone else.

You could, but they said your hair was too gross. They used it for the oil spill, pick up the oil it was needed. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And can people donate their hair to you or they have to go.

Through a process, through a whole process, dude, you can be one of something.

Else's that's crazy, that's crazy to think about it. It's real though, No, I know, I know, it's it's okay.

So the styles can I put like gel in it, a little bit of a palmade, but.

They style really easily. They've got just enough texture in them. The haircut is going to just style itself. So you know, my goal is you just run your hands through your hair and that's it.

Let's just say it's a really windy day, exceptionally wendy anything when we flies off.

No, it's not going to fly off. Had people tested, I've had people surf in it and you're all kinds of crazy roller coasters and stuff, and it has not been Wow. Okay, okay, you're good.

Out of your thoughts, your emotions.

Right now, I'm super excited, Like the fact that I'm going to have hair in the next.

Few minutes is amazing.

Good hair.

I mean, that's the top.

He's the perfect candidate. Wow, going to have a good hairline?

Is he so good looking?

Two hours?

Yeah?

Dang, Eddy, do you have a haircut in mind? Because you've been dreaming about this years just so much?

Like, I mean, I've always liked the high and tipe, but I don't know if that's still in.

That's still in the high and tight.

Dude, I'd have a little I have like some extra it's mine's not long, but there's a little like fluffy, you know.

Like So once I decide the style, though, can I choose a different one? Like if I go a little long at the beginning, can I come in and be like, I need to cut this off all away?

But you can't go with the opposite right because it doesn't grow?

Yes, okay, so that's why she goes a little shaggier.

What about BedHead? Am I gonna have bed head in.

Congratulations?

Wow?

Yeah, I've never had bed head? Like what in a long time?

Are you nervous about shaving your head?

Uh?

But you know what, It's a risk I'm willing to take. All right, Eddie and Julie are hopping out checking back with Eddie right now he is back in my office. He has no mirror.

He is getting and what do you call it?

A hair system?

A hair system put on?

Eddie has been bald and he's worn a hat for years and years, and he didn't want to have surgery, even though we offered him up.

Oka, I really treaty like hair transplant.

I have a great option with a wonderful doctor. So I said, what about one of these?

We called it a whi toupe. That's not what it's called. It's a system, we're told. And so Julie Taylor's back with Eddie. It's it's gonna take about it an hour or so. Eddie, what's happened so far?

So we feel every day of our lives. Welcome to the party, man.

Yeah, Oh that's what it is. It's called hair.

Yeah.

Yeah, Eddie is getting his hair system put on right now. Which, by the way, social media influencers made Julie Taylor like a big deal because people were getting it done and then posting it and she blew up nationally oh wow. Okay, and her website is Nashville Hair Replacement dot Com. In mere minutes, what's up, Eddie?

This is amazing, dude.

In mere minutes, Eddie's gonna walk in and he hasn't even seen it yet.

This is like that TV show, remember, I mean it was well, yeah that or what?

This was awful.

I didn't like the show, but yeah, they were like they called him like the little duckling and then they emerged and they were a swan in front of the mirror.

And it's not nice.

Well that too, they did like teeth and plastic serg.

Yeah, no, I mean it was extreme.

You're gonna be our swan, Eddie. You're about to be antle swan.

Okay, we'll check back with Eddie. Eddie able to do tell me something good from back there? Yeah, dude, okay, of course, we'll check with Eddie. In just a few minutes. It's that time. Eddi's about to walk in. He has not seen his hair yet. The thing is, Lunchbox is gonna laugh regardless of.

This is gonna be incredible, just because I'm used a bald duode.

So Eddie has a new hair system, right, Julie said that. Julie Taylor's been here for over an hour working with Eddie. You shaved his head completely bald with a razor or clippers.

With clippers, just the grandpa haircut right in the middle.

That's you know, I guess that's a grand point. I think it was like a bowl, the bowl on his head like the ring. So Eddie's gonna come in. He has not seen his hair. How do you feel about Eddie's work? Do you feel like it looks good?

Like?

Does he look does he look natural in it?

He looks fifteen years younger.

Does he think he's going to look good?

I think so. He's just, you know, it's funny because he hasn't seen it yet, so he doesn't really know how it's supposed to feel.

Was he awkward in there, like didn't know what to say?

He's not awkward. He was very calm and kept his eyes closed and yeah.

Okay, well did you laugh at all?

There was no laughing.

Okay, it's just our friend, Yeah it is, and it is.

However, it's I get it, Yeah, I get it.

You've got to roast him a little bit, but you feel like this is one of your most like successful cases.

Yeah, a model after this, he really was the perfect candidate for transformation.

Okay, billboards, So at Nashville Hair Replacement dot Com, this is Julie Taylor and Eddie has not seen his own hair, nor is he going to see it when he walks in. So he's going to sit with us first. We're going to see it.

Then.

Do we want us to hurt and tell us what kind of haircutching game? Or are we just going to see it?

Like?

What?

What?

What style?

To prepare?

You all out for it?

Y'all? I just slas.

Bringing in him in.

Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Wow.

It's so good.

Wow that looks so real.

Wow I hear it looks so good and I hear it lad.

No, no, no, I wouldn't have known that was you, bro.

Okay, what are you talking about?

Hold on, I'm telling you what fresh So this is not cool?

Let me tell you.

Let me tell you he hasn't seen it. You look like you look like your son.

Yeah, that's crazy.

More than ever, it's like your.

Here sixteen year old son.

You do look like your oldest son when you walked in and was like, oh my wow.

Oh I put money on the fact that he's keeping this look for the rest of his life. Like, yes, you're going to do the maintenance. There's no way you're getting rid of this.

Seriously, you're going to see it, dude.

Hold on, Hey, what kind of haircut do I have?

Like?

What's my style?

I don't even tim.

Okay, so I would say it's kind of like so I mine naturally goes forward, but sometimes on screen on camp, I'll have to like like put it back just a little bit.

And I just got like a little cool, that's what that is.

But it's long. I can like it's styled and stuff.

You haven't touched your hand.

No, I haven't touched it. I honestly I was.

I walked to the bathroom and I walked like my my neck was stiff because I didn't want to like move it. And for the first time in my life, well not first time, but in a while, I'm like, what, like, it's my hair in place?

Like I look good, dude, it looks real and it looks good. And no one has ever if they don't know you, no one's gonna say. I wonder if that dude has anything on his head really legit, legit, legit.

He wants to make fun of you.

If he wants, go ahead, dude.

It's hilarious because you have hair. But literally, like Bobby said, if you're a stranger, you would have no idea you were a bold fool. They would have no idea that you have a system in your hair.

That's my system.

You have like a side faded bit. So if I get a hair cut, it's like shorter hair and it fades up a little bit like it's purposefully that way.

I mean, I thought about telling her to do the skin tight like Lunchbox does, but that's too much serious though.

It's hard.

It's why it's well, no, it's because we only know you as one one and now a little bit I'm attracted to you, so that's difficult.

I know.

Here we go.

Edie's not gonna look at his new hair ready and go.

Whoa, whoa, dang, I have hair, dude, you know who? I kind of look like the dude from ted Lasso.

A little bit.

Yeah you do?

You not look like your son?

I mean, yeah, I mean I see it.

It makes sense.

This is unbelievable.

Isn't that crazy?
