This is Dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal and my son Link from Good Mythical Morning. How you doing son? I’m doing pretty good. Dad. Uh, if you wanna know the truth. I’m starving. You know, I get here to the office. I was told that they would have a little lunch for me, so I didn’t eat anything. And then I get in here. It’s not here, here, so now I’m so hungry. I could eat. Pat Hayes. You can eat Pat Hayes. What would you want to eat Pat for? That was, it was, it is. I don’t, it’s a joke. That was it. That was, uh, you don’t know Pat wouldn’t be very, he, he, he, he wouldn’t be very feeling Okay. He’s a small guy. Yeah, well he’s, lemme explain what I was attempting to do, dad. I was trying to hit you with some internet meme comedy, at least that’s what I’m calling it. There’s been these videos floating around of people secretly filming their like spouse or whatever, and then saying, I’m so hungry, I could eat and then say somebody’s name, that they have no way of knowing who it is. So I asked Nancy, gimme the name of somebody that, there’s no way I know who they are. And she said, I said like some, one of his friends from church. And she texted me and she said, Harry. And I said, well, I need to know the last name ’cause it only works for the last name. If I’m, I was so hungry I could eat Harry, you wouldn’t know what I was talking about. And then she was like, I don’t know his last name. I was like, well that’s not gonna work. You gotta gimme another. Name. And then she gave me Pat and I was like, well, I kind of have heard of Pat, but do you understand? Yeah. The reaction. Yeah. Yeah. We got, we got a decent reaction. Yeah. I think that was a success. Success, Logan? Yes. I think we got a, we got a good reaction. Why you want eat Pat, be very That’s right. Does, does everybody say, I’m so hungry I could eat blank. Yeah. It’s, it’s, I’m so hungry. I can eat. Yes. Always. Yep. And like people will put like. Some wives will like say, I’m so hungry, I could eat and then be like, put her, her husband’s like grade school girlfriend’s, full name. Like, how on earth would you know that? Or like my best, you know? And people are like, how do you know who that is? Or like somebody from work or something. I don’t know. It’s a fun little thing that happens on the internet. Without the internet, none of that fun would be happening, you know? Of course that could still happen in real life, but that could be your thing. Hey, I got this friend. His thing is just telling people that he could, he’s so hungry. He could eat somebody that is of little or no consequence to them. Nevermind. I’m overexplaining the joke, but to answer your question, I’m a little hungry dad, but I’m doing good. How about you? I ate break. I, I went to the dentist this morning, got my teeth clean, everything was good. And I come home, fix me two pieces. I’m, I am gonna make you hungry now. Oh god. Um, cook me two pieces of sausage. Oh god. Two eggs. Uh, two muffins and put some peanut butter and jelly on them and eat that. And was it, then I went to work. Was that all in a sandwich? You had peanut butter, jelly eggs? Oh no, I just put it sausage. It’s all on a plate. Mm-hmm. Because I know you’ll put jelly on a, a sausage and egg biscuit. Yes, I will. So you could have done that actually, but, and peanut, peanut butter’s a little too far. Maybe. English muffin. Mm-hmm. This is, I got when Nancy’s been buying me them English muffins. I like them things, so I am, I am against English muffins. I don’t like ’em. Well, hey, everybody ain’t got the lot. What? What do you, you like, you just want bread or biscuits? Well, I like a bread and I. I even now that I’ve had some good bagels, I like, I like a good bagel. I used to not like a bagel, but now the English muffin is the last thing I want. It’s, it’s, um, it’s powdery and mushy on the bottom, but then it’s prickly. It’s like it, you know it. If you stepped on it, it would hurt your foot if you weren’t wearing shoes. Um, I, me and you must not be buying the same English muffins. You talking about one of those, like you o the middle part is like, it’s got a bunch of sag mites coming out. It well, I had, I have to cut mine and two and then put it into toaster and toast it. Mm-hmm. Get it out. It is a little crunchy. I don’t like that. See, I, I think my, my root problem is I really am anti toasting. Oh. There’s nothing that I like toasted. Well, I, I knew there had to be a little something wrong with you, so, and that’s it. That is the only thing that’s wrong with me. Only thing that’s wrong with you that you don’t like something. I, I just don’t like things that are toasted, not the least of which is toast. I don’t know. I Bread is. Bread is good. Soft. Yeah, it is. I don’t, but you’re gonna, you’re gonna flirt with burnt ness. I don’t wanna add any. Any semblance of burtness to my breakfast bread. Well, I’m not, Hey, if I burn it, I’m throwing it away. That’s right. And starting all over. See, because I don’t eat. You know the best way to not to start over Dad is not to toast. Never start. If you never start, you never have to start over. That’s right. Yeah. But I like my stuff toasted. So. You know? Mm-hmm. I bet you like the corner of a lasagna too. The corner of lasagna. Like the corner out of the casserole pan. Uh, no. If it’s stuck and burn a little. No, I ain’t too crazy. I’ll leave that. I’ll cut that out and leave that in there. There you go. See, see? That’s right. Listen to that. That’s your inner voice saying. You’re a Neil. You don’t like things crunchy or overcooked, and when you go down that path, slip, slip, sliding, you know where you’re gonna land. Not at a toaster. We’re not gonna land because you’re not gonna have one. Okay. You’re welcome. You’re welcome now dad. Well thank you. I got, we get before we get to, I know you got stuff planned Dad. But I think you and I need to put our heads together and come up with a way to put Logan on the spot because I think, Logan, I’ve heard through the grapevine, master producer of this show who keeps it all together and everything else you want to add to that has some news, but I think we gotta get it out of her. She’s moved, has some news. It has some news. News. You know how like, uh, more news at 11? News? News? Yeah. News. Oh, okay. With an news, Logan? Yeah. Logan, you, you keeping me in the dark. Yes. Again, I have been keeping you in the dark in the, and me. She didn’t tell me either. I’m engaged all. You. Hey, we, we will, this show will not go on any further until, okay. Try again. We get the news. Well, she tried to tell you, but you were talking. Okay. You ready? Yeah, I’m ready. I’m engaged. Oh my goodness. That looked fake. It looked fake. Did you already know, dad? No, no. I heard it through the grapevine. Well, did it happen when you went to Italy? Yes. I, I proposed in Italy. What? Okay. I did, and then I had one before that as a surprise. What do you mean? One before that as a surprise, you’re engaged with two people. Just one. So what do you mean? One, you, you proposed twice, but one was a surprise. What do you mean? So Kim proposed two days before we were leaving for Italy. And that was a surprise to you? Yes, because I thought it was happening in Italy and then she pulled a Uno reverse and did it right before Italy. So I had no idea. So you were both in on the Italy proposal plan? No. That was just your surprise. So that was my surprise. So she knew it was happening. ’cause I’m horrible at lying. Okay. She must be pretty good at it. Yeah, I was in, I was in shock. Like I said, no, I said no a few times going down because I was like, what’s happening? Because you were like, hold on, this is gonna be my gig. Yeah. And then I was like, yeah, I thought it was happening in Italy. And then it didn’t, and then mine was quite a story because it. Was anything but perfect. There were a lot of problems. We’re all dad in a good way. You want to hear, I, I kind of want to hear, I kind wanna hear the story. Oh, yeah. I want, Hey, everybody can’t be like me. When you propose, have somebody that you don’t even know standing behind them. Mm-hmm. When you propose to your partner, that takes a picture of it. So we got to hear what happened, Logan. Well, okay. So first of all, the. The ring got delivered when it wasn’t supposed to. So I, I tried to hold the mail so that it wouldn’t get delivered when I was at work ’cause it had to be signed for and. You got a mail loader ring. Alright, that’s good. That’s okay. It was custom. Okay. It’s big. It’s big back. You get off the back. Back of a serial box. Yeah. Any box done. Yeah, exactly. Okay. So my mail order ring, uh, was, I tried to hold the mail. Mail and um, they’re like, yeah, we’ll hold your mail. And all of a sudden I get a notification when I’m here that it. Delivered. And I was like, oh shit. Like Uhhuh, you know? And so I, uh, call her and she, uh, was trying to act, was like, oh yeah, some, something came in or whatever. And I knew that she knew what it was. Mm-hmm. And so I like, oh, I think it was a camera for something. Mm-hmm. And they delivered it to at home instead of at work. And so I guess I, what she had told me afterwards was that. Uh, the, the guy had delivered the ring and was like, well, they said to hold the mail, but I was right here and I figured, why not save you a trip serious? I was like, oh my. Are you serious? God, are you serious? Yeah. Mailman a little too little too over eager. Exactly. Um, but anyways, so on the trip I had tried to hide the ring in my. Sleep shirts because that was the only thing that she wouldn’t touch. ’cause we share clothes a lot and it was like, okay, this is the only thing that she might not borrow. Okay. Apparently I did not hide it well because she found it three times and had to tuck it back into the shirts. You suck. I know you suck at this. So she, well, hey, at least you ain’t gotta do it again. That’s true. That’s true, that’s true. So apparently she found it a couple times, even though I thought I was like so slick. Anyways, uh, so this day of, uh, it’s, it’s we’re, we were in Positano and I’d rented an old red sports car. Oh wow. Be driven up to the top of the cliff and stuff. It’s raining the day of the only day of the trip it rained, so I’m freaking out. Oh. And then it eventually clears up. But, um, Kim’s said that I had said something like, Hey, so uh, I wanna go to this bar around like between like 4 30, 4 45. And she was like. Okay, do you have a reservation? And I was like, no. And she was like, well, what’s the name of the, of the bar? And I was like. Well, I don’t know because we were supposed to meet at a hotel, the driver at a hotel. Okay. But my lie was like, oh, let’s go to this bar. And then of course I didn’t think about, yeah, yeah. What’s the name of the bar? You, you, you, I’ve already said it. I suck. You suck at this. So she already knew it was happening and it was fine. You gotta have a backstory. I know, but you gotta, you gotta. She knew it was happening in Italy, so I didn’t care too much that it was like a surprise, but I was trying to keep up some of the lore. Okay, anyways, we’re walking up, trying to get to, trying to find the hotel. Apple Maps takes us up this huge flight of stairs up the mountain. We get to the top, there’s a locked door. I. To a private residence. So it took the, it, the map took us up the wrong thing and I was like, oh my god, shit. So I was like, oh Lord, we have to go back down. No way. So we had to go back down. And then I went to another hotel and I was like, where is this hotel? And they were like, you just have to go up this way. So we went up that way. I’ve got 10 minutes to spare. She thinks we’re just like going to get drinks or whatever. So I was like, okay, we don’t have time to do anything. We need to, I need to stall for 10 minutes before the driver gets here. So. Uh, I go inside this hotel and they’re like, oh, like, do you need help with anything? And then I was like, no. And so we’re like walking around and I was like, let’s just sit in the lobby. And Kim was like, they’re gonna kick us out. Like we can’t just sit here. And I was like, it’ll be fine. So we’re sitting there. Two minutes later she comes over, you guys can’t fit here. So we got kicked outta the hotel and then we go outside. I stall for for 10 minutes. And then the driver shows up and I was like, here’s a ride. Yeah. And it was this like beautiful little red sports car. And then his name was Marco, the guy that was driving us. And he goes, ah, for the photo shoot. And I was like, yes. And then everybody you, you associated with also sucks. I know. So then we get to this thing and he’s pretending to be the the photographer when there was actually a real one. And then we’re like. Taking photos. And then he says, tells Kim, he’s like, alright, now turn around and look out at the view, but don’t turn around. She turns around and then she said that she could hear him go like, alright, go. So she’s like laughing and then she turns around and then whatever. And then, and then we rode around the car for two hours and it was wonderful. And she said it. She wouldn’t have expected anything else than. You know, some things like that along, along the way’s. A great story. It’s a great story. And you know what the beautiful thing is? That you, you can tell a version of that story the rest of your lives together. Yeah. And that’s, that’s to it makes it totally worth it. Yeah, it does. It does. Yep. Um, yeah, you know, I got my, my failed, my engagement story is a fail. Really? Oh yeah. I’m not gonna retell the whole thing here, but I suffice it to say, I told her parents not. To tell, not to like spoil the surprise for like a couple of weeks because that’s how long I needed to get a ring. And then she comes home from like being away for 10 weeks. We pick her up at the airport, take her back to her house that night. We’re just walking around the neighborhood and. I just couldn’t help myself. I just dropped a one knee right there in her parents’ front yard and, and, uh, asked her to marry me while immediately apologizing for not having a ring. I have to order it online. I’m getting my box tops together, is what I told her. Um, but yeah, she still said yes. This is nice to. You know? Yeah. And b And then by your fourth marriage, th they’ll just be random strangers taking photos of you, like your paparazzi Exactly. On the beach, right? Dad? That would be correct. Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations, Logan. So you, thank you. So the, the proposals went both ways, correct? I didn’t mean to do this symbol. Sorry about that. That That was good. Nope. Yeah, we’re not. Okay. But yeah. Yeah. So two proposals and one marriage. One marriage. Okay. Um, well, I, well, Logan, and you both will be invited if you’d like to come. Did you hear that? We’re both invited if we’d like Oh yeah. I would like to be invited. Let’s start there. Okay. Yeah. And then I’ll tell you if I’d like to come, I’ll give Christie an invite and then a plus one. There you go. Okay. There you go, dad. You’re invited. Okay. Well, I, I got to figure out something though, Logan, and I’m gonna ask this question. Being there was two and ever what link? Uh, I’m, I’m trying to figure out who’s gonna be in charge in this marriage. Oh, I think being, there was two proposals. That’s a good question. So the person who proposes is the person who’s in charge? Is that, that’s not my experience at all. Ain’t mine either, but I’m just, just checking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s a good question that I do think you need to answer 50 50. I would say she’s in charge in certain ways, and I am in charge in certain ways. Clearly, I’m not in charge of plans. Mm-hmm. Or secrets. Or secrets. Or logistics. Or logistics. You’re a producer. Come on. I know. She said I was sweating all day. It was, she was loving it. She was loving it. She was loving it. You were squirming. Yes. She, uh, that’s, that’s the cute part is that you just, you know, you were trying so hard. You were failing, so I was failing so hard. I tried so hard. You and your sleep shirts. Exactly. So have you set a date? Not yet, but Okay. Alright. We’ll weigh in on that, okay? Mm-hmm. I’d love, I’d love for you too. Yeah, that’s fine. If it’s in LA it has to be like three years from now, apparently. I know. Because there’s no venues. I know there’s no venues. Wow. Silly. Well, hey, you can come to North Myrtle Beach and get married. Perfect. And come out here. Okay. Well, I can get you a venue. I’m sure you can. Yeah. Yep. You, hey, you probably get alligators to show up for it and, and, and it’d be a lot closer for your family anyway. I mean, that’s true. Yeah. They just live right up the road. I know everyone’s gonna have to fly out, but that’s okay. Yeah. Yeah. So we got, we got it out. You, I you did, we got it out of her dad, the mo the news or whatever. You can’t, you can’t be keeping this type of information from us. You know. Well, we are a team here. So how did you find out about it? Link? What Little Bird told you? Somebody else here? I think it, I think it was Hitch, another producer here. Oh yeah. Because Hitch took the photos of when Kim did it. Okay. And then maybe Christie saw it. Oh, on Instagram or something? Maybe. I don’t know. Yeah, maybe. I think it was Hitch. All right. See, I, I have my little. Spiders, little spiders and birds listening for the whispers.

We had the Ocean Drive Beach Music Festival. Oh yeah. You had your own tent? Had my own tent. You had your own banner? Yeah. Dispatch it from Myrtle Beach up there. You were giving away samples of your barbecue sauce? Uh, they was asking for it, but I didn’t have any of it with me. Hmm. Okay. Well how did it go? But it went good. I had a lot of, gave out a lot of cards and people, I had several people come by that watched the podcast already and. Uh, a couple of ’em took some, some pictures and said that they loved it and, okay. Oh, I see. I’m seeing these pictures now. So who is this? Is this just a fan? Well, she’s a fan and she’s also a singer. Uh, her name is Ali Prevet. All right. See, we got a lot of talent. She now, and she, she still sings a little bit, but she went back to school and she’s a dental hygienist. Oh. But see, there’s the tent and the banner back there. And the banner looks like. Just an ex, an extra large version of your business card. I think it is. Well, I, I think that would be what it is. Okay. It’s great. It’s like an optical illusion that like, is the business card on top of something and the Okay, that’s nice. And it, it was literally the tent was just, you people show up under that tent and you’re just there underneath your side and, and I, and they won’t anybody under the tent and step. Until it started raining about three o’clock and there was a bunch of people under the tent Oh, come running over. Can I get up under your tent? Okay. So you were shelter. This is before the storm hit though. You’re you’re wearing me all over your shirt. So I, I was there. That would be correct. And people wanted to know, they would ask me, well, you got a shirt with link? What? Where’s your shirt with? Your picture on? I said Link has that shirt. We wear ’em sometime when we’re together when I’m in la. So is that quick on stage there? Yep. Pretty big stage. Quick on stage. And I come walking up and. Uh, taking a picture and right in between the verses when he was singing, he said, that’s Charles. That’s Charles. Everybody take a look. There was a bunch of people there though. Oh, yeah. And, and, um, not a risk of heat stroke it looks like. Well, no, I would say looking at the demographic, there might be a risk of heat stroke, but it looks like it was a nice day. It was a good day. So good. Good. I mean. If you don’t watch out, you’re gonna be running for office too. You know, you be, you’re becoming such a, such a linchpin of the community. You know how, you know how people do with you. They sign you up for things. You gonna be, you gonna be some sort of politician. I’ve had some of my friends been trying to sign me up Yeah. For doing some stuff and I said, that ain’t gonna happen. Yep. Yep. I’m with you on that. You just, you, you’re, you’re at the perfect place for influence. Right in front of that sunset. Right sunset backdrop. And then I think I had told you that, uh, Nancy and I went to Destin, Florida with, uh, couple of our friends and Uhhuh, and we had a good week. Big beaches down there. Well, I mean, it’s on the Gulf of Mexico, but it’s beautiful. Uh, the water’s that aqua green color and. I mean, it’s just, you still call that, uh, the Gulf of Mexico. I’m Gulf of America. Go the Gulf, whatever. Yeah. Uh, you don’t, you don’t really care. You don’t really care about that, know? No. All right. I, I feel that. I feel you, but then link, uh, I did something that you probably are going to tell me that I shouldn’t have done. Okay. Well, dad, I mean, I’ve told you, no pills, no powders. They’re highly addictive. Yeah. No pills, no, no powders. Especially from strangers, but even from people you know. No pills, no powders or disappointed in you. Dad. That’s not, I, I, they won’t know pills or patterns involved, but Nancy and I got up at Saturday morning at five o’clock left. It got, I had to stop and let her. Go in a Walmart at six o’clock in the morning to see if they had a certain dress there. So we left Destin at six 15 in the morning and I drove 715 miles and got home at seven o’clock that night. What and how did you feel when you got home? Uh, like somebody been rode hard and put up with. Yeah, that’s, I mean, if you were a trucker, that would be illegal. You know what would’ve helped with that? A little bit of powder, you know, you, you’d have felt fired. Fire. It’s just a joke. It’s just a joke. No, I’m not too happy with that. I mean, did you, did, did Nancy take a turn at the wheel? Nope. Well, she asked though. She asked and you refused. See you. I, that would be correct. You need to rest yourself before you wreck yourself. Wow. That was, that was pretty catchy. And then we got home and UN got unpacked and got up Sunday morning because that was Mother’s Day. Okay. And drove to up to Aberdeen to meet Brandy. Candace was gone. To Texas for something for her work. Had lunch with her and Cameron. Then I drove down and, uh, saw Nana and spent two or three hours with her, and then I drove back home and that was 315 more miles. Well, then you’re over a thousand miles in a 48 hour period. Uh, that would be correct. That’s, come on. Come on, dad. You got it. But you know what? You, you gotta, you’re moving and shaking. You gotta be where the people who need you are. I know. Yep. You should have drove out here. I do wanna share that your dad sent me maybe the best photo of him I’ve ever seen. Oh, okay. Okay. Where This is in Destin. He’s in the water up to his knees. And, uh, I can’t, you’re, you’re so backlit that I can’t tell if you’re facing towards the camera or away from it. You were just a silhouette Dad. Just a sette. Which way? I, I didn’t, which way are you looking, Nancy? I’m looking at Nancy while she’s taking a picture of me. She wouldn’t get in the water. That’s the only picture you took of yourself. It’s like, I don’t usually take pictures of myself, so. Okay. Well, I’m glad he did it. I believe that’s you. It’s rather dark. It’s me. It’s quite mysterious. Sh Slender man. I mean, I wouldn’t call you slender. I would call you more like a, you know, well, you’re, you’re Spel spelt man. Slender Man is a, I don’t know. I’m not gonna explain it. So that, that’s kind of been what’s been going on with me and I’m, you know, today’s a special day for. You and we got the caller y Well, you don’t have to remind me, but that would’ve been trouble if you did. Yes. Today as of the recording of this is, is Christie’s birthday. And um, you know, it’s just a matter of days after Mother’s Day. So, uh, the pressure’s always on and last year I really. I really LII lowered the bar last year. That’s the way I look at it, you know, it’s an investment like being a disappointment. In terms of what I did for Christie for, um, mother’s Day and the dreaded birthday turnaround. It being, uh, lackluster was an investment in the future where this year, you know, I could facilitate a much better time. Okay. And then right after that is, um. My 25th wedding anniversary, so I didn’t wanna screw this up. And, uh, Lando and I collaborated on a surprise brunch picnic for Christie at a park she’s never been to. I. So that was really good. And then the other kids each got on video chat. Matter of fact, even we even did a video chat with Nana while we were sitting on the, the picnic. So it was like, that’s what I heard she felt, yep. I was like, whew, this is good. Lando has his moment. I picked the place and I was the logistics guy and the surprise guy didn’t call you Logan. Thank God. Good. Um, and he was the ambiance and charcuterie. Person, like he, he made all of the, all of the food that we ate and picked out like perfect pimento cheese that she loved. And so, um, cheese and trees. So she got that. And then later in the day, uh, she got some pizza. So she got at this place she wanted to go and haven’t, hasn’t been able to go. So we went there. So she had a big day. And then today, um, I, I left some flowers. At the house when she comes back home. She’s gonna be surprised with some flowers today on her birthday. And then I’m taking her to another high demand pizza place on the other side of Los Angeles. It’s an hour drive away, dad. ’cause she’s really been hankering, you know how much she loves pizza. So, yeah. Uh, I can’t go wrong with that. So I’m giving her a pizza and I bought her an, I bought her a card that, um, when I add a four. In the front. I’m not gonna say how old she is, but when I add a four in front of the, the card that it is, it becomes her age. So if she was 41, I would, I bought a, she’s not, who am I kidding? She bought a card. I mean, I bought a card for a 1-year-old and then I just wrote four in front of it. You get? I just thought that would be, I get it. I thought that would be cute. Yeah. So I’m gonna give that to her tonight and, uh, I hope, I hope it works out also a present, a present that she picked out. Okay. Yeah. And that I ordered. That’s the best way to do it. Okay. So I’m, I’m feeling, I’m feeling really good about leading into the 20. It’s not about that, it’s not about my experience on our anniversary trip. I know. I’m making it seem like it is. Me, but it does impact that, you know? Yeah. You gotta have her celebrations that are just for her so that we can have our celebrations just for us. And she feels like she can fully participate, you know? You know, this is an, oh yeah, this is the type of investment that I’ve learned to make. Well, it sounds like you, whew, mighta done a good job. So, yeah. Uh, I’m, I’m feeling good because I’m also recovering from. The day before Mother’s Day, she was like, I pulled on her. What? I pulled on you dad. I didn’t mean to do it. We were like enjoying being outside. And then she was like, let’s grill something. I was like, oh yeah. And she told me what steaks to get and I go get the steaks, and then we’re like hanging out and then she sees the stakes and she wasn’t happy about what the stakes were. I said. She said she wanted a filet. And I said, well, I got you a filet. She says, it’s bacon wrapped and it’s, it’s got marinade. And I said, I don’t. I said, I don’t want marinade a steak. I was like, well, okay. I messed up. I got, I got a cheapo steak is what I did. I thought, oh, there’s bacon. This is awesome. But it was, it was an embarrassing little cheapo steak. She thought I had cheaped out on her. And then. Instead of going back and getting something else, and I invited friends over and we didn’t have enough food for them. So then, but then I couldn’t go get more food because I was taking a nap. You were taking a nap? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When I woke up, she was gone, and then when I woke up the second time, she was back, but she was like making a salad and doing all this stuff. I was like, okay, today’s not a good day, but it’s not Mother’s Day. Yeah. That’s tomorrow. That’s tomorrow. Let it all work out. And the steaks ended up being good. Mostly the ones that she went and got after me. But it worked out. It worked out. I’m feeling So she, she, she got to eat the steak. She want. You had to eat the ones with the bacon on it? No, no, no. I ate the ones that she got too, that that dog wouldn’t have hunted at my house. She’d had to eat the steaks you got. Well, she did, but she bought. More than enough. So yeah, it all worked out okay. It all worked out. But I mean, it’s a lot of, I mean, Logan back me up here. Planning Yeah. Is is tough. It’s not easy, you know, and it’s the thought that counts. Yes. I’ve done stuff very similar to that. Yeah. And I do own the fact that the previous year I just didn’t think a lot. So I lowered the bar and now I’m getting credit for thinking and it, and it counts. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, that’s good. That’s, that’s my advice. Boy, we get all types of celebrations. Are you planning anything secret that you need, um, Logan to not help with dad? Uh, no. Nothing coming up? I don’t, no, I don’t think so. Okay. Well, as of the release of this, it’s after my wedding anniversary. It’s after your birthday, and it’s after my birthday. But I’m gonna, I’m gonna go ahead and tell you right now that when we’re recording this, my birthday hasn’t happened yet. So if, if you want to cook anything up, and I don’t mean literally cook something up, but you could also do that and mail it. Is there anything you want? I, not really, I, I, I’m, I’m pretty well doing pretty well. Okay, good. Because I’ll be on my 25th anniversary trip and I may forget to call you. No, I’m gonna call you. That’s alright. I will call you. If you don’t call me first, ’cause it’s my anniversary. Well, I’m not, I’m not gonna call you. It’s my anniversary, my birth. Oh, well I could call you. Yes, I can. Yep. See. Okay. But I’ll be just be wishing you happy anniversary. Then I’ll hang up and then you can call me. Okay. Me. All right. We will make them separate calls. This is what we’re giving. Let’s just decide this is what we’re giving to each other this year. A separate phone call dedicated to each of our things, even though they’re the same day. No. You, you, you, you’ll pro. I I don’t know if you’ll get anything in the mail for you Oh, uh, anniversary. No, but you, you’ll probably get something in the mail for your birthday. Okay. I don’t need one of your business cards though. I’m just gonna say that. No, I’m not going. No. All right. We, I’m good with that. Uh, it’s time for, all right, Mr. Neil, what you think of this reel? Okay, Logan, I see that we’ve got a video that, uh, Brian really loved and wanted us to look at, and I think I haven’t seen it either, but this is a proposal video, so this is perfect for our conversation today. Exactly. Oh, I what I, yeah, I mean, we’ve been doing all kind of proposals, whether they were. Ended up like we wanted them to or not. Right. Okay. Now I’m gonna preface this has, I think 88 million views. What? Oh, you ha, I have seen this. Okay, there we go. Okay. Watch this. I have to talk center and do a whole thing. Do. She’s like talking to her mom or something. Oh, he’s waiting patiently. Victoria’s Faith Bronch. Will you marry me? I’ll, Hey, what do you think, dad? Wanna watch it again? Well, uh, he was, he was very patient. Uh, I don’t know who she was talking to, but she was more important than what he was trying to do. And then when you, when she. Finally turned around. You know what, Logan, his might have went worse than yours. Oh, I thought you were gonna say better. I think it did. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean it could have gone worse ’cause she said yes, but she said yes so fast. It almost felt like it was a reenactment. I mean, I. So strange and everyone else on this boat dock is like not even paying any attention. Yeah, nothing’s happening. It is like nothing’s happening. Her dad’s is that her dad there just like averting his eyes. There’s somebody on the left that’s filming it. So, yeah, will you marry me? But the, she was so bothered by it. It seemed like I can’t, I’m on the deck. I cannot be bothered with your questions about our future together, but yeah, I’m gonna answer as quickly as possible. Yes. Now can I get back into my conversation? There was, did you see with my cousin? Did you see the reenactment of it? No. That one, I think has almost as many views. It’s this girl that, well, I think it is already a reenactment. It’s not, I. Okay, here we go. Here’s the reenactment. Just so you guys can see it. What is that? It’s a thing. You’re gonna do a thing. See? Shoves his hand away. You know, like a court. You’re gonna do just like a thing. Elizabeth, will you marry me? I will. Oh my god. Spot on. Spot on. So that’s trouble. It just catches, it just captures the awkwardness. That’s trouble right there. I’m telling that’s trouble. What? That she, what’s trouble that, that them two’s getting married. That’s trouble. Yeah. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, I think they’re, they’re hope it needs to be a little paint by numbers. I think if they’re gonna make it, you know, um, something. Yeah. Wow. That I’m not going any, that is the perfect thing to watch. I’m going any deeper to end this episode. Like that’s, yeah, and we all feel better about ourselves now. Logan feels better. I feel better. I don’t know. Absolutely. Dad, you feel better. You feel better. I, you know, I, I feel better, but I, you know, I’ve done it several times. I always, you know, the last time I did it, it turned out great. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. Logan, ever What happened with your proposal? It, it was a lot better than what he, he is, when that’s, that is true. I can be happy about that. I thought he was gonna say, no matter what hap, don’t worry about what happened. You’ll have other shots at it. Yeah. You’ll have at least three other shots if you like me. Three. Yeah. Yeah. Well, good luck whoever you Oh man.
