DFMB 11: Dad Was Struck By Lightning

ramble [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is charles neal from dispatches from myrtle beach and hope you’re here to get involved and have a good time again with my son link from good mythical morning get involved with me i’m ready to i’m ready to get involved dad let’s do this we’re gonna get involved and see what we can swing into this week yeah how you feeling doing pretty good you feeling fresh yeah yeah doing good i see that bed back there it’s still nice and made up you’re in the guest room right that’s correct you had any guests stop by recently yeah brandi and cameron came about two weeks ago nancy’s daughter and and your grandson yep how many grandkids you got total then if you if you include nancy’s grandkids how many you saw three right three on nancy’s side and six and eight i got eight my kids lauren’s two six seven eight from lawrence yeah you’re right you get the math is right we both had to do a little bit of counting and there’s kind of scattered around man you’re definitely a professional granddad when you got eight of them two of them’s in arizona and three of them in california and the rest of them here in north carolina i could technically be be a grandad anytime i hope it’s not right around the corner like in talking to lincoln and lily there’s no plans and so i don’t believe it’s gonna happen anytime soon but technically it could oh it could technically it could because they’re getting of age where something like that could happen i’m trying to figure out i i definitely don’t feel ready to be a grandparent but is it some i mean is there any prep i need to be doing now i’d probably need to start practicing keeping more cash in my wallet like i don’t know what what’s what’s a good granddad thing to do like unapologetically farting in front of your family i don’t know what else is there if you do that then it just breaks the ice and everything else is just icing on the cake after that so just you don’t want to do it on a cake though probably you probably need to have a little cash in your pocket where they they probably want to go somewhere and get something just slip them away go get a piece of pizza like they did yeah when y’all came down here or something so that’s kind of a good thing to do but you know like we are living here at the beach and just carry them to the beach and let them go swimming and have a big time in the summertime you don’t take a lot of money to do that and you can just be there for more of the fun and then you give them back that’s that’s the grandparent trope that that’s the main thing right there giving them back what’s your favorite thing about bri being granddaddy just enjoying being around them and having a good time with them and and just making memories with them that’s the main thing that you that my thing is with them and hoping they remember some of the stuff that we when we get together that we do oh i’m sure they do i’m sure they do yeah yeah i just don’t know about the baby part you know i’m real rusty when it comes to babies i don’t recall like loving the baby phase you know what i’m saying and when they get older say they remember more stuff when they’re babies they don’t remember you going up and going and gone at them and doing stuff that they don’t remember that you know but when they get two from up about two to three then they’ll start remembering what grandmama and granddaddy is doing with them and then then it just goes right on from there i really plan on getting involved with my grandkids when they can remember the damage i’m doing like i’m screwing them up spoiling them that’s grandparents prerogative if moms and dads said don’t give them that ice cream they can’t have too much of that and yeah that just goes in one ear not the other one you just give it to them anyway when they ain’t looking i remember that from our perspective don’t give them all that much sugar they gonna be bouncing off the walls tonight they ain’t gonna sleep none i said well they’re going home with y’all they ain’t going home with me anyway yeah i’ll give them the ice cream or the candy or whatever they want yeah the memories are coming back now so yeah thanks for that you know one of these days you get to pass it on down the line that’s right okay pay it forward i get it oh that’s why you spoil the grandchildren to get back at your parents oh okay i can do that i think i understand the assignment well i gotta holler out from a i had a listener from newfoundland teach me what the word shag means there in newfoundland newfoundland aka newfoundland nephilim okay yeah you can say it either way i was just trying to translate and the girl’s not her name is nora denoit she said we use the word shag in the european way but it’s more commonly used in the phrases what’s odds shagget what’s odds yeah what’s odd shaggett i don’t know what that means what’s odds shaggett what does that mean she’s got me all up in there and it says which essentially translates to whatever or who cares or blanket blanket yeah the f word oh [  ] it yep somebody’s got to say it dad just for clarity yeah so what odd shaq shaggett means just uh [  ] it who cares okay whatever well yeah because it is because shag does mean to screw so then if you say shag off yeah that’s what she she also said that’s what she said we also say just shag off oh yes i can i could do that i could say well yeah i could i could shag off i’ll tell you if that’s what you want just tell me now i think i could use that in in my vocabulary toolbox you can’t i can’t yeah it won’t work for you you’re too close to the dance community to start coming up with the the newfoundland way to say things but okay if you want to if you want to give her a holler out do it holler out and i i hope we did your uh shag question figured it out look do you know where we could shag on off somewhere [Laughter] yeah totally different meaning man and i also had another listener zach basile from newfoundland teach me a saying they have with over there really dude i is my old [  ] and long may your big jib draw well you got to say that again dad so that you’re getting multiple emails from newfoundland i got two so what is it again deed i is me o [  ] and long may your big jib draw what does that mean it says apparently this comes from an initiation ceremony where the person must drink screech room and i don’t know what screech room is i mean we are we are both lost now deed i is me old [  ] and long may your big g of draw i am lost he’s gonna have to send us another email all right right it’s time for another edition of myrtle beach mailbag i got uh so another email from emily hoke said my dad’s golf group have started using their penises instead of golf clubs i thought that was so strange but he says it’s because he’s never seen a dick without a hole in one oh i didn’t that didn’t start off as a joke i thought it’d start off as a sharing time but then it became a joke became a joke i never saw a dick without a hole in it without a hole in it without a hole in one with a hole in one okay hit me with another one kyle sent us one what did the hurricane say to the coconut tree what did the hurricane say to the coconut tree i said hurricanes blowing the coconut tree around bending it over dropping its coconuts i got i got nothing nut thing says hold on to your nuts this is no ordinary blow job oh gosh yeah i mean you’ve lived through a few hurricanes right i mean they come through down there yep in myrtle beach since you’ve moved down there how many have hit maybe one since we’ve been here are you prepared though for i mean like next time a hurricane’s coming because like basically every hurricane season every year it feels like chances are you would get one when they say there’s a hurricane coming do you do you leave or do you hunker down uh most of the time i stay and that’s worked out so far yeah but and we kind of knew what was coming watching the weather and stuff but i mean if they told us there was a four or five coming i’d be gone i’d be history i’d be up the road somewhere right i don’t miss hurricanes i mean they’re way too destructive and scary but at times i do find myself missing a just a nice thunderstorm you know out here it doesn’t thunder heart i mean you never hear thunder and lightning at a certain time of year especially those like summer thunderstorms it can be dramatic it’s scary but it’s there’s a there’s at least a little bit of excitement like there’s there’s no reason to watch the weather man here like when i grew up i was like my hero was the weatherman you know bob de bartoleven oh yeah and then greg fischel you know it’s like you hang on their every word oh you can’t we can’t go out tonight it’s gonna it’s gonna be storming it’s gonna be crack i like him pretty badly but there was just a sense of excitement and there’s like this magician on television who can tell you exactly where it’s going to go you’re like you’re going to look at it on a radar i do miss that like the electrified communal local experience of rain and storms i don’t want to be struck by lightning that wouldn’t be any fun at all might be a good story you’ve never been struck by lightning yes okay well uh see almost it was in 1973 we were i was still farming and uh we were standing at a bulk barn and i a storm come up me and mike newton and timmy were standing there talking we helped one another putting the bike and different stuff and i had my foot and hand up on a metal rack and all of a sudden a pop of lightning hit a tree run down on the ground and run up and run up on that thing that rack and table and it jolted me pretty good and when i saw that i lived through that i said boys it’s time to go to the house and i got my truck and left and went home it jolted you did the electricity like escape and create like a wound or anything no it just kind of it’s kind of like if you messing with some wiring and stuff and it’s you you spark and hit something it’ll most of the time it’ll knock you loose from it and that’s what it did with me did you fall down or [  ] your pants no i didn’t do neither one of them but i i was pretty pretty shook up i said it’s time to go boys we we we don’t need to be shooting [  ] out here no more we need to go into the house right exactly well i love the fact that we’re sitting here talking about storms it’s like you’re sitting on this i’ve been struck by lightning story i gotta pry these things out of you it’s like i have to ask you everything under the sun it’s like i had no clue you were struck by lightning that’s the adventure of uh dispatches from myrtle beach you never know who’s gonna get struck by lightning and i hope it ain’t neither one of us again i’m telling you yeah i got another email from noah carson it says two old men were sitting on the porch what oh lord watching a dog lick his balls one old man says to the other maybe someday i wish i could do that okay and the other response you probably can you just better make sure you pet him first [Laughter] you probably can you just probably need to pet him first yeah you get there’s an order to these things you know i don’t know what the baseball bases for intimacy with the dog are but i don’t i don’t think uh yeah i think uh baseball is probably petting the dog uh i i didn’t mean to go down this road dad i’m sorry and now i’m afraid to ask have you ever licked a dog’s balls i feel like i have to ask you everything now absolutely not okay good that’s a relief i used to cut them out of little pigs though okay and do that when i was raising pigs you always when i was about six weeks old you neutered them and sprayed them and where you could raise them to be uh you know feed them out and get meat from them well you can get meat from a pig with balls can’t you yeah but it makes it be leaner and it can be it can be tough if you don’t do that to them really and then you don’t need but you don’t need but so many bores to help try to help have pigs so you that’s the reason you do it oh man that’s visceral so like this is just is it like just a swipe of the knife just take a little right you swing them up between your legs and hold hold the legs out and cut them out and pop them out and cut the little string off and then take them oh god nitro tan and and spray them and and put them back down on the ground and let them run around screaming a little bit oh no this is the this is the you grew up on a farm this is how things are done yeah well i raised pigs like that that’s reason i had to do it i had i had about 30 sows that had pigs year-round so it was just just a way to make a living oh my gosh i guess that after a certain point you don’t think about it too much but you got me thinking about it way too much [Laughter] tell me another story about getting struck by lightning i gotta erase that one from oh somebody like a couple weeks ago when it we did those words and i was pronouncing them somebody sent me a thing they won’t be pronounced a a bunch of more words for us oh on the show today okay yeah as long as you understand why i’m good with it you understand why they like the way i talk i guess yep all right yeah let’s hear them the first one is snickerdoodle like a cookie yeah snickerdoodle like a cookie okay all right i hope they’re happy with that one i certainly am yeah i was too quesadilla what quesadilla okay dad how often do you eat at a mexican restaurant not as often as i used to because the doctor made me quit oh okay uh so do you do you order these when you used to go yeah i think i’ve ordered them okay all right what are you liking them beef and cheese and just ever what they put in them i just order them i like them okay and when you order it you call it quesadilla all right i’m debating whether i should break it to you i feel like it’s the right thing to do dad it’s quesadilla so the q sounds like a k yeah i think yeah quesadilla quesadilla i you know you ain’t too old old dogs can learn new tricks all the time so maybe i maybe i’ll pronounce it better next time probably not yeah you might lick your own balls too [Laughter] jalapeno okay jalapeno jalapeno is how i say it jalapeno yeah yep oil okay yeah like use it in a sentence i’m changing the oil in my car i think that’s how i say i say oil oh are you saying oil or oil well i think i said it one way and then when i put it in a sentence i said uh changing oil in my and yeah you i think you’re consistent all right what else you got crayon that’s how i say it crayon right crayon yeah right there’s no other way to say that is crayon crayon crayon that’s the french way yeah crayon crayon crayon yeah rule rule like old guys rule uh rural oh oh okay ru this is a this is just a hard word to say ru ru rule rule rule rule like a rule riot okay yeah like in the country that’s that that shouldn’t be a word that you know no one should ever say that it’s like christy can’t say the name roy you know she’s like i am not naming anybody roy i don’t want to have anybody in my life named roy because i don’t know how to say roy like she’s like boy she cannot do it rule rule i mean the more you think about it the harder it gets that word should be outlawed we’re going to do away with that word okay say it one more time before it’s gone now rule see it sounds good and the last word we got is lawyer lawyer why do you want you to say lawyer that’s just normal to me i mean they got you with quesadilla though i gotta tell you man you fell right into that one i you know i can’t help it that was awesome quesadilla i mean you remember when you were here maybe it was the first time you were visiting you were in the back seat and you saw a sign for a restaurant that was a certain type of food t-h-a-i food do you remember seeing this sign that’s not what you said oh it won’t no that’s what you said you said thai food and you just kind of looked out the window and read it out loud and i just uh i stored it away in my heart dad every time i see thai food i mean and i went to thailand and boy let me tell you every time we turned around we were saying thai food because that’s what you said unprompted and now you’ve changed it don’t ever change dad order your thigh food and your quesadillas that’s right i got another email from athena bolton steiner okay if you could bring back a fashion trend what would it be oh this is a good question you’ve lived through a number of fashion trends do you know what you’d bring back i i i’d bring back the disco music and the little balls swinging around when you’re dancing and stuff you like the disco ball yep so you don’t you don’t have uh mirror balls in your shagging clubs i think there may be one down here in fat harold somewhere hanging up when i’m hanging up down there yeah and hey and then uh the spanish galleon’s got one hanging up okay we’ll see you still but they don’t play disco well you’d be surprised there’s some disco music that gets played that you can shag to now so they they play a little bit of it it’s according you know it ain’t like the john travolta kind that saturday night night fever and all that did you have a rhinestone suit or like one of those john travolta body suits well i i got one now that i wear at halloween sometimes the white suit with the lapel on it and the white pants that goes down and the boots and stuff you wear with it where where did halloween and do my john travolta thing walking around well you know where you’re going to be for halloween this year yeah that’s right so i reckon i need to pack something up do it mythicon baby i want to see you in this suit at mythicon is it elvis or is it john travolta it’s more like john travolta okay yeah oh man do a little dance make a little love get down to get down tonight get down tonight yeah so that’s probably what i’d bring back bringing back disco i like that okay i’m trying to figure out what i what i would bring back fashion trend it kind of made me i know it’s a different era but it made me think of bell bottoms like when i was in high school do you remember i would i would take pants and then i would get them altered to be bell bottoms at the bottom like i just really liked that so like i would take jeans to nanny so i think nana did it sometimes too and they would put a try two triangles in the base of my uh pant legs yeah to make to make them into like retrofitted bell bottoms that was that was like my idea i think because i was in a band i gave myself license to just to look a little dress a little weird i still like to dress a little weird i like that oh yeah yeah bring that bring that suit to uh mythicon don’t forget to pack it up i’m pretty sure it’s right over here in this closet okay i got a uh email from uh dino max he says what’s the difference between a refrigerator and a gay guy oh okay dad tell me what’s the difference between a refrigerator and a gay guy when you take the meat out of the refrigerator it doesn’t fart uh let that go through your head a little bit now when you take the meat out of the fridge don’t say it again don’t say it again okay all right okay i just i just don’t know uh you know i don’t i don’t know what to say i don’t know what to say now it’s time for a word from our sponsor today we got a very special sponsor and it would be charles neal’s barbecue sauce homemade made from scratch as a matter of fact when i went out to visit lincoln we went to hawaii when i come back i had to make them some and leave it out there so i told your people that your work that you might have to slip them to some down there and let them taste of it just to see if they like it because you think it belongs in stores i don’t argue with that well i i have people that come and and i usually just give it to them but uh they would buy it from me if i wanted to sell it to them i probably i got about 50 people that call me and say i’m out of bbq sauce can you make some more describe what it’s like well i can’t describe it too much because i haven’t never given anybody the recipe to it it’s the secret it’s a secret and nancy’s youngest daughter asked me one day about it and said what do you put in that barbecue sauce and i said well i’ve been married four times and ain’t never told none of my wives what’s in this barbecue sauce so he said do you think i’m gonna give it to you she said well you ought to give it to somebody she said write it in your wheel and give it to me she said i want it i said we’ll have to talk about that yeah i feel like i got dibs on that um i would describe it as tangy it’s a it’s a tomato slash vinegar base it’s like yeah it’s vinegar and tomato based i would say yep great on chicken yeah you have it on pork you have it on barbecue yeah and when i build on barbecue i probably put add a little more vinegar apple cider vinegar to it it’s definitely a banging chicken sauce and then i i cooked the brisket this weekend and put it on it and oh it was killer i’m telling you it was some kind of good mmm man i bet that was good so what do you call the sauce just charles’s barbecue sauce all right well if this is an ad you got to tell people where to get it but don’t give them your home a dress well if you want some of my barbecue sauce you’d have to send me a note at ratherbeeshagging53aol.com and get you cannot be sending people your barbecue sauce for free i gotta i gotta put my foot down you can’t do it i’m like i gotta act as your manager right now all right well that sounds like a plan to me maybe we’ll get it in stores one day that would be hilarious it’ll be awesome it wouldn’t be hilarious it would be great it’ll be hilariously perfect it’s a good ad promote yourself if no one else is paying you might as well just promote yourself taking a page out of my book [Laughter] yeah well i had somebody send me up i’ve been getting a lot of emails asking for my advice sue it’s time for another edition oh i’ll help you get out of the woods this is the segment where when you send me an email i’ll give you some advice okay let’s hear it you see my name is casey i’m from west virginia i’m 30 years old and i have a daughter who is turning two years old in august she has been learning to talk and say the typical words like da da and papa well i’ve been trying to teach her to identify farm animals and she’s been doing very good she can recognize and say words like cow pig chicken but if someone like yourself that has a southern accent when it comes to the word sheep she pronounces it [  ] kind of like sheet okay we will sing blah blah black sheep together and it just comes out blah blah black [  ] any advice for a newest father who is surrounded by southern accents oh see he doesn’t sound like he has a southern accent and he’s concerned about everyone else giving it to his daughter what’s your take on this well you kind of gotta take what you get when you’re trying to teach two-year-old words and different things cause sometimes it may but may not be how they mispronounce something that they’ll even pick words up so if you worry about us saying the word [  ] instead of sheep or sheep you better not be doing no cussing around her or doing nothing cause she’ll pick them words up and one day you’ll be riding down the road or she’ll be going somewhere with you and she’d say i’ll just be damn if i’m gonna do that and you’ll think about now where did she get that from and then you go to think and say well i’ll say that so yeah with a two-year-old or three-year-old or whatever you’re doing and you’re trying to raise them like you’re supposed to you you have to watch your own dialect with in what you’re saying and what comes out of your mouth so just be careful with what you say and what you do because they pick up on it very quick for young children and everything so just watch what you do and what you say but let just let sheep go i just think the damage is done yeah if you don’t keep adding it on leave it on i wouldn’t be singing blah blah blah sheep too i just leave that along let it go and she she’ll start saying other words and picking other stuff up and she it’ll be something else she’s saying oh man what an adventure [Music] it’s been fun having you being here with you today again son so i want y’all to come on back next thursday and we’re going to swing back into something see you know see what we can get into again so hope you enjoyed everything that went on today and just remember if you got
