This is Dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal and my son Link from Good Mythical Morning. How you doing, son? I’m here, I’ve landed. I’m like a. Where’d you land from? I’m like a wizard who’s floating above. I don’t know. Sometimes I just like to make that noise. If I’m like putzing around in my garage. Make that noise. You ever make noises to yourself just when you like, just puttering around town or something? Whistle? Anything like that? No. You never just whistle? Well, you know what? I used to whistle and I can’t even hardly whistle no more. Give it a shot, Dad. I used to whistle. I can’t whistle no more. Yeah, but you seem like you’re trying to do that type of whistle that’s at a passing good looking woman. What other kind is it? Well, there’s plenty of types of whistles, Dad. There’s a train whistle. There’s a melodic whistle. Just do a melodic whistle. A melodic? I can’t whistle. Whistle. See, I can’t even whistle. Well, I can hear it. I’m a whistle and see if you can repeat the tune. I can’t do it. Now that’s not the attitude that we need today. Okay, go ahead. We don’t say I can’t. We say I’ll try and then we say there is no try there You either do it or you don’t well, whatever that saying is from Star Wars. Yeah, anyway, all right, we’re gonna start simple Let me say it try to hit the same note though Will you start I’ll try and you go ahead you do it again See, I can hit yours. I can’t. We’re, we’re killing people’s eardrums right now. I’m telling, yeah. What about, what about three notes? Or more, more than three notes. Oh, you went to like whistle through your teeth. Yeah, yeah. That’s the only way I can whistle, and I can’t hardly whistle like that. We can have a whistle language. Are you losing whistling in your old age, Dad? Hey, what do you mean losing? I have lost it. It’s gone. So you lose, well you’ve lost your hearing, a good amount of that, and you’ve lost your whistle. Instead of whistling at somebody, I have to holler at them. Hey! Damn, is there like a, is there like a, an ED medication for whistling? I don’t know. Keep you, something to keep your whistle tight. Your whistle’s getting too loose, dad. There’s a lot of things that’s got too loose. Okay, yeah, we’ve been there. Alright. Yeah, we don’t need to go there. So, one end I can’t whistle and the other end whistles all the time. Okay, alright, William, we’re not going to have a contest with that. No. If we can match tones with the butt whistle. You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Uh, how’s Nana? Have you seen, have you seen Nana lately? How’s she doing? Uh, I have talked to her, but hey, why don’t we just give her a call? Yeah, call her, call her. Alright, let’s see. I mean, sometimes when I call her, she doesn’t answer. I don’t think she’s with her. No, that’s you when she called you. Oh yeah. Okay. I don’t answer. Yeah, that’s right. Hey, I’m good. How are you doing? Well, you need to tell her. I mean, I’m just coughing in the coffin in the coffin tonight. That’s what happens late in the afternoon. It does. You need to tell her that this is being recorded for quality assurance purposes. Well, I think it’s just the residual part of my She needs to know that this is bronchial stuff. Bronchial. Well, Mama. Yes. I, I got you on the phone with Link and you need to know that you, you can’t be saying something that you don’t want somebody to hear you say or we might not be able to take it out. Cause, cause it’s in the podcast. It’s in the podcast. Okay. I thought you, Theresa said you gonna be by yourself. Hold on, is she saying that she doesn’t want to talk to me? Are you saying you don’t want to talk to Link too? Yes, I do. Oh, you do? Well, I tell her, I say, hey. Yeah, I do. Hey, Nana says, Hey. Link says hey. He said, Hey, Nana. Hey darling, boy. Hey . I love you much. I, you hadn’t called me back and I’ve called you several times. Yeah, I’m so, tell her I’m sorry, becau, I didn’t want to strain her bronchial. I heard he said, he said he heard you were sick and he didn’t want to strain your bronchial so you didn’t have to talk. You believe that? Oh, see, look, she’s, she’s, listen to her. Man, you sound terrible, mama. You still there? Is it, ask her if something’s coming up when she coughs like that. Link wants to know if something’s coming up when you cough like that. Part of the time. Is it organ meat? Is it organ meat? Yeah, no. It’s not organ meat. What is it? What is it he said? It’s good to know what color it is. It’s not organ meat. He’d be coming to North Carolina for a day or two. Oh, for the funeral. Whose funeral? You talking to me or Nana? I’m not going to be able to hear it. Who’s funeral are you talking about Nana? Well, if all the meat’s coming up, it sounds like I won’t be here very long. Yeah, Dad, you’re, you’re, you’re behind, Dad. Me and Nana aren’t connecting even though she cannot hear me at all. You’re not a good, you’re not a good middle man. You’re not tracking this conversation. But I love you both. What, is she getting off the phone? What, are you going to hang up on us? No, I’m not gonna think of them. There you go. It’s beginning to be light now, it was yellow. Oh, yeah, I’ve been having some of that yellow stuff too. Yeah. Mine’s beginning to be light too. What color is yours, Link? You spitting anything up? I’m not spitting anything up, Dad. I’m not coughing. I’m not coughing anything up. Well, we’re just trying to make it a family affair. Well, so what, what, what is, ask her what, what’s she been up to? Just being sick? Is she able to do anything? Link wants been up to. You just being sick? You been doing anything? No, I don’t do anything. Theresa does everything. I’ve cleaned my bathroom and the door this week. Why was the door dirty? Why was the door dirty? It’s where you spray, and the dust gets on it. Spray what? And it heals up, so I cleaned it up. Spray what? You mean hairspray or what? No water. Uh, it’s the hairspray. Yes. Okay. Oh, and you cleaning it off the door? Yeah, I cleaned it off. What, what, what did she do? Standing against the door and just hairspray herself. And when she walks away from the door, does it leave like a nana silhouette? I was doing pretty good, but now. And then another episode. Okay. So, Link wanted to know, when you just stand up against the door and just spray yourself and then when you walk away from it, does it just leave a silhouette of you standing there on the door? No. No. You have to scrub it. Oh, you have to scrub it. Okay. Why not? See, I don’t want to make her talk too much. Cause listen to her coffin. I’m telling you, she was pretty good yesterday. Tell her to call me when she’s not coughing all the time. Well, Link said to go ahead and try to call him again when you’re not coughing so much, okay? Alright, I love you both. Alright, well tell her that I love her and she needs to take it easy. Link said to tell you that he loved you, not U2. I love him too. And, and, and, and, and if she needs, if she And Nancy three. And if she needs to hear anything about the podcast, we’ll tell her about it. Yeah, and if you need to hear anything about the podcast, we’ll make sure you know what went on with it, okay? She doesn’t need to try to Okay. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Love you. Bye. So she sounded better yesterday, Dad? Oh, yeah. I, sometimes when you sound that bad, it’s, you’re actually getting better, because you’re coughing it up. Right? She has a hard time with that bronchial stuff, so I don’t know. She’s always, she’s always, her vocabulary, like, she’s always had all of these words, because she’s always read so much about, like, health and dieting, like, she was always really into that. Oh, yeah. Shelves and shelves of, I mean, she, she reads voraciously. Still does. To this day. Nancy gets her books together and carries, she, listen, I know Nancy probably carried 25 books up there about two months ago, and in three weeks she had read every one of them. Wow. Good for the brain. I think it’s really, it’s really good for us. It’s a great habit. Maybe I need to start reading. Yeah, maybe me too. One of these days we’ll do that, Dad. Me and you, one of these days we’re going to get into reading. It’s going to be the thing we get into. Yes, so these people tell me I need to get some help with my brain because I fell off a 40 foot ladder. Maybe I need to start reading. That and soap carving. I’ll probably get into soap carving first. Oh, okay. Then when I’m done with that, then maybe I’ll take a look at reading. Yeah. What’s the last book you read, Dad? The last book I read was on Benjamin Franklin. Oh, well, sure. Okay. Well, how many years ago was that? And hold on, I don’t want to bust your bubble, but I got about three fourths of the way through it, and I just I just quit reading it because it was about 800 pages and well, then you got, you got through plenty. So I learned a lot about Benjamin Franklin in our country. Okay. Pretty interesting. Okay. But besides reading the Bible some, that was the last book. I really read, I read the Bible some, too, but. In my mind, that doesn’t count. But not for, not for spiritual reasons. Just because, like, I don’t know. Because you’re supposed to and all. That’s right. Yep. You don’t really get. You’re supposed to. You don’t get credit for reading the Bible as part of reading. Just because, I know, I know you’re physically reading the Bible, but It’s, that’s not what I mean by are you reading a book. Yeah. It doesn’t count. Reading a book, yeah. Some people would probably disagree with you, but that’s all right. You know what I’m saying. I kind of agree with you too. Like, what’s the greatest book that’s ever written in the Bible? Well, I mean, yeah, okay, but you know, we’re trying to talk about just regular books over here. Come on now. Don’t be Jesus fi Jesus, fine this thing. Come on, let’s just, let’s be people and let’s talk about reading books. You did good with the Benjamin Franklin. I was surprised about that. Yeah. Yeah. Bible not as surprised, you know? Yeah.

I got one from, I got one from Tatum and I, I have loved your podcast for a long time. I’ve been a mythical beast since I was 12 and I am now 19, almost 20. I am currently in school to become an elementary school teacher and was wondering who’s y’all’s favorite teacher was and what they did to be your favorite teacher. I’m always looking for advice on how I can be the best educator possible. Okay. I’m gonna let you go first. Well, Tatum, uh, just to let you know, and it sounds like the age, like, when I was from like the third grade to the seventh grade, I was a pretty mischievous boy. Is that right? Newsflash. And, uh, but, uh, and I don’t even know if mischievous even cares, but, whatever. But, I, I had a sixth grade. school teacher, and her name was Mrs. Ross, and this lady was the sweetest lady in the, I mean, uh, I mean, she was a great school teacher and did a great job, but she had me in her class. What’d you do to her, Dad? Well, I didn’t really do anything to Miss Ross, but there was a little girl in our class. And had a nice, brand new coat, and she didn’t like me, and wouldn’t have nothing to do with me. And she had hung it up in the room, and I carried it outside and stomped it in a mud puddle. You’re a horrible, you’re a horrible student, Dad. I mean, well, but Mrs. Ross You know, she said, Charles, I know you a mess and you have really done something that you should not have done and this is what I’m going to do to you and I said, Oh Lord, what have I done? And she says, I’m calling the principal and he’s going to call your daddy. She said, I ain’t getting in the middle of this. She said. I know you’re going to get more from your dad, Mr. Lincoln Neal, than I could ever try to do to you. And she didn’t like discipline, but she tried to be a good role model, and that’s what she was trying to be for me, to tell me that you ought not do things like that, it ain’t nice. And good. I really, she said, and you, and you, I, I, she said, I think you are a really pretty good little, little boy and everything, but she said you can get in the middle of some stuff and she’ll make a mess of it and, and don’t sound like a boy and do things you ought not do. So. I, I’m trying to tell you and lead you to do things in the right way, but I’m gonna let your daddy lead you to doing things like you ought to be doing. So what happened? That’s what, that’s what happened. So when I got my home there was, as she called it, Mr. Lincoln, Neal, waiting for me to get home from school at three 30. ’cause I, I could walk right down the street to get home. And. You might ought to walk a different way. Yeah, maybe I should have went. And of course, you know, I always knew when I did something, I was going to have to pay the consequences. I won’t like some people that tried to do stuff and get away with it. I knew I had to pay the consequence. Okay. So when I got home, my daddy asked me, said, uh, you got any money left over from cutting grass? And were you. Put in the back of this summer and all that. And I said, yes, sir. I got some money left over. He said, go get it. Yes, sir. Went and got the money. And then he said, and then he pulled out and he had that little, that girl’s coat. He had the coat? That he had, they had called him and he went up there and Miss Ross had given the coat. Oh yeah. And, and we went down to And we probably, where it come from anyway, went, he carried me down to Sexton’s department store and we looked and we found a coat that was pretty comparable and just as nice or even better than that coat. And I had to buy it. There you go. And my daddy said, that ain’t all you gonna get either, but you had to buy the coat first. Oh, boy. I got a, I got a tail whooping when I got home and had to. And they had to carry the coat back to her and give it to her myself in front of Mrs. Ross and tell the girl that I was sorry. That’s right. So Tatum, just remember sometimes you’re going to be able to. help students and do things and give them and do a good attitude about it and do stuff. And then sometimes you just going to have to turn it over to somebody else. Miss Ross putting you in your place. But she, she fixed me up. And so, yeah, she deserves the credit. And the applause. See, I, I wasn’t, that was almost cruel, Dad, but I know she crossed you, that little girl, but that’s a bit much. Um, the stuff that I would do was more of just the mischievous stuff that you were talking about. But I have a lot of favorite teachers. Talked a lot about Miss Lockley or my, you know, my first grade teacher that like, where the class at But I’m gonna, I’m gonna throw us in love to, um, miss Kelly Smith, who my freshman year in high school was my English teacher, and she did a whole section on like intro to like filmmaking, and she divided the class up into two different. And then we, we like went through the whole process of making our own little film made like a horror film, like scripted it out. We acted in it. We edited it on, um, VCRs and it was, I mean, that was very formative, like learning things like composition. All that stuff stuck with me. And, um, I mean we, Rhett and I had already been making videos, but the fact that it was like a legitimized part of our curriculum that she just added, you know, that wasn’t something that was just happening. That wasn’t actually curriculum. Yeah, that was very formative. It was very, um, very cool. And, um, she would just put up with my misch mischiefosity. I would get down in the, uh, Yeah, one time I was, I hid in the podium that she stood at to teach and like had this little compartment. So before I would, I like scrunched up in there and then I thought I was going to jump out and scare her or something. She was smarter than me and she, she knew that I was in there, but acted like she didn’t. And, but she would, she closed the door and locked it. And was like, Oh, I’m just got to keep this locked. And then she like, she, so she would, she, she was like, two can play at this game. Kind of a thing. So it was less, she would teach me a lesson with her own sense of humor. You know? If I’m willing to put myself out there and be the center of attention, well then I might have to be the butt of the joke, you know what I’m saying? Yeah. So I kind of learned the lesson that way. She was pretty sly about that. But again, very formative. Um, so yeah, Miss Smith at the time, and she drove a Mitsubishi 3000 GT. Which she won in a contest or something. I’ll never forget that. So like, she drove this thing to school every day. We thought she was the coolest. She was the coolest! So she’s my fave. Yeah. Good question. Thank you. Good, good question, Tatum. So, uh, thanks for going to school to be a School teacher. Yes, because in this old, in, in this old world today, it, it is not an easy job. Maybe there’s some advice somewhere in that, in, in our experiences, that’s the best we can do. Well, Lincoln got another one is from ACE Hardware. Oh, it says, congratulations, you have won a Stanley tool set. Click the link below to claim your prize now and. Don’t do that. Did you do it already? Uh uh. Okay, don’t. I mean Do you know anybody at Ace Hardware, Dad? Uh, well, yeah. I know somebody. Well, still don’t click on it. Yeah. Just talk to them directly. And see Yeah, cause Ask them about it. Go to the Ace Hardware and ask them about that email. But don’t, don’t click. That’s one of them things that, yeah, like I get on my phone that I just delete it. There you go. That’s it. Yeah. It’s time for, this segment is, Snot Mike of Puffed Tea! Alright, Dad, we’re turning things up a notch this time. Yep, um, with incoherent. Remember, this is when you, uh, you read the words on the page, but then you hear what you’re saying and it creates different words in your mind that then makes a different phrase. Maybe that’s not the best way to describe it, but we’ve done it before. We’re both horrible at this. We, so Logan has prepared these for us actually. And these are more adult. Yes. Is that the hint? Yes. Alright. So, put your mind in the gutter. Alright, dad. So, these, this might, um, this might get a little friskay, you know what I’m saying? Yeah. Alright, you start. Here’s the first one. Three words made into something else. Go for it. I’ll try to help you out. I do not know these answers myself. Bud make it. Bud naked. Whew. Bud make it. Bud make it. Bud naked. That’s a bit of a stretch, but you got that one quick. Too quick. Are you cheating? No. I don’t know, it just I think that’s the key, is that they just need to be naughty. Yeah, apparently. Alright. Read the next one and start out slowly so that I can try to catch up. Okay? Okay. Good. Sa tough oo cup. It’s s sh sha. Tough touch. Sha touch. Uh, cup, huh? Tough hug. So who touched the cup? So who touched the cup? That’s not naughty. Naughty? Two girls, one cup. Nope, that’s not it. Shut up. Tuh fuh guh p. Tuh fuh guh p. Tuh fuh guh p. I think that’s I think this is F uh.
