This is Dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal and my son Link from Good Mythical Morning. How you doing Link? I’m doing pretty good. How about you, dad? I’m doing good and I, I, I, listen, I’m trying to remember how I did I. I, I’m getting ready to do this man. I’m getting ready to come to la I’m gonna be the California surfer dude. I might have to, I know I might have to borrow your, uh, wet pants, wetsuit, I mean, not wet pants, wetsuit where I can go surfing, man out in California, man, I’m coming out there ’cause we are going to be doing three in-person episodes. Starting for the week of September the 15th. We got lots of stuff planned, man. So we going to be seeing all you Myrtle Beast Live and in person in la. That’s right. Dad, you’re coming out here. Um, yeah, we will do those three episodes. So the next, next week’s episode. You’ll still be dispatching from Myrtle Beach, but then the three after that. That’s right. We, we will be in the same place. This place most likely. But let me ask you a few things about what you just did. First of all, the voice. Um, okay. Can you de what, who was that, that was, I guess that’s just was some. You know, uh, west coast, California. Dude, man, that just, okay, like a surfer dude. Yeah, like a surfer that a surfer dude asking for to wear my wet pants, wet pants or wet suit. I’m sorry, I mispoke, whatever. Yeah. And then what were you doing with your hand? What don’t they do that? Uh, this. You’re doing this, and then the thumb, so you have, oh, it’s like this. It’s just this with the thumb out. That is the sign language for I love you. Oh, so then put the thumb in. I think I was just, and look. I think I was supposed to just, yeah, this just, there we go. That’s what I was supposed to be. Hang loose. Amen. Man. Hang loose. Loose. I’ll be hanging loose in LA, man. Okay. There you go. But this right here. See? All right. Do this again. With the thumb out. That’s, I love you. I’m pretty sure. Oh, and then if you put the thumb in now that is, um, that’s like, I think that’s supposed to be Satan, because this is, this is like heavy metal. Oh, this is what you do at a heavy metal concert. Oh no. Keep the thumb in. The thumb comes out. It’s quite the opposite. Heavy metal. I love you. Surfer dude or a phone. Okay. Yeah, if you wanna talk on a phone, you got that straight. So let me, let me see if you got it. Well, hold on, let me, I gotta do a little test here. Give me heavy metal. Okay, good. Give me surfer, dude. And now give me, I love you. Yep. All right. You pass the test a hundred percent. We can move on. I, well, hey, I, I do love all you Myrtle Beast. I love you. Yep. Alright. That’s true. And, uh, maybe you like some heavy metal. I don’t know. Do you like any Dan Zig? Uh, no. Okay. I don’t think, I’m not, I’m not much of a heavy metal guy, but, yeah. Um, dad, you wanna tell him why you’re coming out here? Give ’em a little tease. Now don’t give away too much information. Well, uh, you know, only thing I know that I’m coming out there for is we are going to be doing three, uh, dispatching for Myrtle Beach episodes. If it is whatever else I’m gonna be doing, I don’t, I ain’t nobody told me anything. I, they’re probably scared to, might not come. Yeah. Because of what it’s related to. You know what it’s related to? I don’t. It’s related to a, a certain annual event that you made quite a memorable appearance in last year. Oh. So I don’t wanna let the cat out of the bag, but that’s, that’s what precipitated the trip. And hopefully we can get you on an episode of Good Mythical Morning, and I’ve heard a little bit about that. Today as well. So I think that’s gonna be hilarious. But I ain’t gonna get to cook with Josh this time. No cooking with Josh as far as I’ve heard. Um, okay. You know, I’ll, um, that’s all right. Do you, is that a request? No. Uhuh? No. Okay. I ain’t gonna be there. Two and a half days. Yeah, I know. You gotta get in and get out. I know. See, you got you. It is limited schedule. You’re jet setting lifestyle. See, kind of like yours stuff. Yep. Woo. Bless you. Woo. Bless you. Scat. Woo. Wow. We got four out of him. Once I get started, I can keep right on going sometimes. Oh really? I’m usually a four sneezer and mine are, mine are just that emphatic, but I like it. It feels good. Yeah, it feels good to sneeze. You look like you was hurting you a little bit like it dazed you. I don’t know. Are you dazed? No, I ain’t dazed. Okay. All right. My eye. Hey, my eyes are watering a little bit. Okay. All right. You getting emotional about it? Are you crying? Just say it if you’re crying. Dad, just tell us it’s okay to cry. No, I ain’t cry. I, I just sneezed. I’m crying. Men can cry. They don’t have to cover it up with sneezes. That’s right. Huh? But I, I know I’m not crying. Yeah. Okay, fine. It’s time for, shoot you, we’ve arrived at Internet Sensation Station, or shall we say Internet Sensation Link. We, we’ve got a lot of comments from these internet sensation things that just been going on with me. So, uh, let’s see what. I guess these Myrtle Beach have been saying about me. Yep. Well, or about other things. Well, let’s see this first clip that the comments are about. I’m going to do something else for you. See? Okay, dad. God, what have you done? You’re a Pink Pony girl and you dance at the club. Oh mama. I’m just having fun on the stage in my heels. It’s where I be long, down at the Pink Pony Club. I’m going to keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club. I’m going to keep on dancing down in West Hollywood. I’m going to keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club. Pink Pony Club. Don’t think I’ve left you behind. Still love you and Tennessee because you are always on my mind and mama, every Saturday I can hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away. Is that right? That’s pretty good, dad. So that was past me saying, that was pretty good, dad. Now I want you present. You having watched. Your past self. Seeing that, what’s your reaction to you and your reaction to me reacting to you? It was, uh, it was probably a little bit better than I thought it was, but it really wasn’t that good. Good. Just better than you thought it was. That’s good. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well then let’s try on these, these comments I got. I got a lot. And aspire to you also got a lot of feedback, so respond to these comments. Read this first one on that video. Link link’s face went through all seven stages of grief. Uh, so that maybe they meant to put torture up there all, all seven stages of grief. I mean, were you just watching yourself the whole time or did you give any notice to how I was responding? I, I really, uh, I’m sorry, but I was really watching just me. Okay. I get that. That’s what I do too. If I see myself in a video, I ain’t watching anybody else. I gotta watch myself. I gotta, I gotta learn some things. All right. Read this next comment. He said. How did he sing it? To the tune of, take me out to the Ball game. I don’t know that you did. It’s a little, a little bit. I think you just sang one note most of the time. It reminds me of when Elf Will Ferrell sang to his dad and he couldn’t sing. Yeah, that would’ve been me. All right. Read this next comment. It says, Charles Ron is my new favorite artist. Oh Lord. Oh man. Do you accept that moniker? He, he’s got more to come so he, if he keeps watching dispatches. Yeah. Uh, he’s going to, he’s gonna get to see Charles. Wrong. Wrong. Is it wrong? Like Chap R but it’s you dad. Yeah. Chap Rome. Yeah. He’s, he’s going, he’s going to get to see some more on me. Well, last week you got some more. Yeah. So you, you, you, are you working up another Charles Rone performance? Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, they keep going that one on the way too. Oh, all right. I think, I think that’ll be three. Isn’t that correct? Logan? Well, we did a lot of Billie Eilish at the beginning. You did some Billie Eilish too. Oh, yeah. Charles Eilish. That’s right. Yeah. Um, all right. This next one is directed to me, but I want you to read it unbelievable that you are able to sing Link. What did I read that right? Read it again. I, oh, I, I understand that sinks in. Yeah. What, what, what do they mean? It means that I couldn’t, didn’t sound like I can carry a tune in a bucket, but, uh, and that you sing on your shows and all that stuff and, and you can really sing. Uh, well, just going, just, just to let you know, just going to get some milk uhhuh. Uh, I have sang, like my son has, I have sang in church mm-hmm. By myself and I have sang some other things. So it is not as easy singing acapella and not having anything in your That’s right. That’s all right. Just, just gone to get some milk. Yeah. So, but that’s hard. You need more than milk. You need to get a, you need to get some context. Acapella is not that easy. Not for me, but I mean, this man has sung solos in church with accompaniment. Yep. And how did that sound? Did you get negative feedback? No, but that’s all right. I mean, chop LeBron is not easy to say Widow. Uh, maybe I’ll get better at it. Maybe not. You just have to watch and see. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But are you taking the constructive criticism? Are you angry now? It seems like you, you throw Oh no, you’re throwing it back a little bit, Adam, which is good. Well, I mean, I, I know, I know. That’s not something that’s gonna get published on a record somewhere, so I, I ain’t worried about it. No way. Right? And so, well, well, hey, let’s not, let’s not sell yourself too short.

Okay. Now, this one is in response to, honestly, we don’t even know what it was a response to, but go ahead and read it and I’ll see if you know what it means. Charles, dropping the thirst traps. Love it. Now again, we don’t know what that one was on. We kinda lost the thing. I remember now. It’s where, um, he was shirtless eating the tomato sandwich and his biceps were showing. Oh, yeah, that’s, that’s what it was. Okay, so dad, you know what a thirst trap is? No. Well, but I know that Logan asked you to send a picture of what you thought would be a thirst trap picture of you, right? Yes. Yes. Let’s see if this indicates, that’s the picture you sent. Well, that’s one I sent that. That’s one. Hey, that, that’s one from about, uh. 16 or 17 years ago when I, all my hair was black, still had a tan like I do now. Yeah. You don’t look that different. But I, but I just, well, I, I look a lot younger. I ain’t got all this little stuff, but, uh, neck stuff. Yeah. Okay. But, so this is, this is, you thought this was your thirst trap? I’m not gonna disagree. It’s, I mean, it’s. I wouldn’t, I don’t know. I don’t, I would just call it a candid, blurry photo, but you look good there. Um, so what do you think a thirst trap is? Maybe one that, uh, gets you where it shows a little bit more. Ob you and get somebody excited about how, how you look, Uhhuh. That’s exactly it, dad. It makes them a little thirsty for some Charles juice. Uh, no, and let me take that back. Don’t mean it like that. I don’t mean it like that. That was gross. But in general, you’re right, you’re right. I didn’t need to clarify that. Was it thirsty for some, Hmm. Drink They like with their eyes, they like to drink. Yeah. Up a visual of someone with their eyes. And so when you put a thirst trap out, there’s to draw the thirsty eye. Does that make sense? Well, I, I told Logan I was trying to find the picture that we had from about. 40 years ago, and if I find it, I, I, I’ll send, I’ll send it to Logan because, oh, what’s that one? I, I was, uh, probably 30 something sitting in somebody’s house and all I had on was a pair of shorts and didn’t have no shirt on. And you could see all these muscles and all that stuff. So maybe they’ll get a, maybe if I find it, Logan can, can. Do something else with it. Plant that thirst trap. Yeah, we’ll plant that thirst trap and see what we can do. Alright, he’s teasing a delayed thirst trap that’s gonna be planted. And as you’re navigating these episodes of dispatches, you might step in it, y’all. Yeah. As we keep going through this house, I’ll find that picture and I’ll send it to her. Okay. Alright. So y’all need to watch out. Alright, here, here’s one more comment for you to respond to. You know, the GMM episode where they asked AI to, I written that Yeah. AI to, to suggest them. To suggest things to them. Mm-hmm. AI could not have predicted dispatches from Myrtle Beach. Weirdest and most wonderful thing on the internet. Oh man. Yeah. Dad, we do have a segment of GMM where we got, we don’t do this anymore, but we ask AI to suggest what we should do for episodes. So that’s the context here from jc. So. What do you think there that AI could not have predicted this show weird and wonderful? So that, that means AI is supposed to be able to draw stuff out, draw things up out of the air, but they can’t draw, draw up what, what we’re doing. So, uh, it just comes straight from the hip and straight from the heart. Mm-hmm. So that’s just the way it is. Straight from the hip, straight from the heart, completely outta left field. Yeah, completely unpredictable to ai. I did see someone was at, someone who is smart was asked what they think about AI in terms of creativity, and they talked about this dynamic of ai. Uh. Synthesizing existing things into new things, like only being able to take what it can observe from the data it’s given to then jumble up and create something new. So if you say, here’s all these episodes of Good Mythical Morning, now suggest more episodes, it can do that. But if you’re like, just take this guy. And come up with what he could do next with his dad or something. And probably would never come up with something like, it would never come up with this show. Yeah. I’m not saying that maybe that’s not the best example, but the way that AI works is it’s not like human creativity that just spawns out of nothing. Does that make sense? Yeah. It’s all, it’s all, there’s all a little bit of derivation in it, you know what I’m saying? Yeah. I, I, I, I’m still, uh, kind of in a little cloud. I do see a little bit about this AI stuff and, but, uh, it’s kind of over my head, so, well, if your head’s in a cloud, it must be a low cloud, and that sounds like fog. Okay. Yeah. If it’s over your head and you’re in a cloud, you know what I’m saying? It’s, maybe it could just be in a higher cloud. Okay. It is time for another edition. Oh, don’t tell Nana. Oh, so you got another tale to not tell Nana? Yeah, I got, I got another tale that we don’t want Nana to know about. Now, is she still living there with you? Uh, I, yes, as of right now, she’s still here. Okay. Well, you don’t need to talk too loud then. Yeah. Well, she can’t hear that well anyway. Okay, good. And I wonder if, you know, last week we talked to Hilda. Yeah. She talked to Hilda. Oh yeah. Now Hilda, you need to, don’t tell Nana I, I don’t know how to be more clear. We’re talking to you Hilda. Hilda. We’re glad you watching, but you can’t tell mama. That’s right. And just because you’re a best friend, you keep watching and do it. That’s right. But don’t tell her what we’re talking about because, uh, because we will find you and we will make you regret it. Right. Dad, tell her what we’ll do. We’ll, we’ll, oh no, we’re not gonna do that. We’re gonna pull up in a van, we’re gonna turn the headlights off, and we’re gonna pull up in your driveway. And tell her what we’re gonna do. Dad, if she tells Nana we we’re not going to do anything. Hilda, just don’t tell Nana I’m not, I’m not going there. You are old. You are elderly. That’s right. Like Mama, your days are numbered Hilda. Yeah, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not going there with you. Uh, we are not going there. You just keep watching. We’re gonna send you somewhere that we’re not even going. No, we doing that, Hilda. We ain’t doing that. Don’t pay no attention to link. We’re not doing that. Mm-hmm. We’re not doing that. So you keep your mouth shut Hilda. Yeah. She must be keeping it shut. She’s not telling her. So leave Hil, go along. Yeah, so far so good. Thank you, Hilda. You’re doing a good job. You keep it up. Yeah, that’s right. Just between us. Okay, dad, let’s hear it. But I don’t know if you, uh, this was before you was born? When I was in the, uh, nation National Guard. Okay. And we were in, we were in Fort Stewart, Georgia, and me and Lanny Clark. Okay. We, you and Lany, y’all, we drug the M 88. What a M 88 is. Is it when a tank breaks down and stuff happens to it or gets stuck? We, we had to go pull ’em out and we were down there and we’d been down there about seven days. Hadn’t had a bath. Nasty. We, we stunk. Okay. I mean, it, it, it was, it is hot in Georgia. Yeah. And we pulled across the bridge. And the little river or creek was running through it. And me and Lany looked over at one another and I looked at him and said, it is time. And we, I reached back there in the duffle bag and got a bar of soap out. Oh. And we jumped off the bridge. What? Into the water. And after we, how high of a bridge was this? How deep was the water? Probably about 20 foot. Well, how did you know how deep the water was? Oh, hey, we was so dirty. We didn’t care. I hope you made him jump first. Oh, no. I jumped first and then he did follow me. Yeah, don’t, but, uh, don’t tell him now. We, we got in there and we laddered up and washed off and come out the other side and got up on the, uh. Come up on the sand and walked around and got back up on the bridge and got back in the M 88. Me and him were standing up running. We was putting our clothes back on. We didn’t have no clothes on. We was naked as a Jay bird. Okay. And I was looking around and there was some alligators laying on the bank over there, and I said. You know, maybe we ought looked around a little bit, but at least we were clean. We didn’t get to eat up and this, and it’s a wonder we didn’t, uh, catch a water moccasin or a rattlesnake coming back out the water walking up because they got some big ones and because I seen them boys catch them down there. Well, Gators like to nibble on worms. Yeah, that’s right. So you were bathing with Gators dad and probably snakes. You jump. So jumping off a bridge, not knowing what’s down there, and then we just, you could’ve landed on a gator. Well, it all worked out pretty good, so, so what’s the lesson? It all worked out pretty good. There is no lesson, but, and then the thing about it, PE people wanted to know too, said. Ha have I, have I ever slept outside without a tent or anything and hey, we slept many a night laying right on top of that Mandy eight and just looking up at the stars and that’s cool and all that, and laying a little blanket down and, and sleeping for. 14 days going back and forth. So I have slept outside under the stars and watched and we went on the ground where them snakes and alligators because we was on up on this thing. I’m glad 88, you you, so you carried a bar of soap. That was good. Oh yeah. Is that the lesson? Always carry a bar of soap. Always carry a bar of soap. If you own maneuvers, then you, because you get in the water, uh, you’ll find a place you wash off and get clean. Put your clothes back on. Yeah, we had some extra clothes with us. So Gators don’t like soapy worms. No. Stink. They must not like this ’cause we stunk so bad. Apparently. So. Yeah. I mean, you should throw, you should throw something off a bridge before you jump off of it. Right? You gotta see, see, I don’t know. You got, you gotta gauge the depth of things and then maybe look at the bank. I’m learning lots of lessons and it’s not just the soap, but, yeah. Yeah. You might have to look around, but you know, we talked about it for a couple days, me and Lanny, about getting, uh. Sure would be nice if we could wash off somewhere. Mm-hmm. And, and we did. It’s time, Lenny. Yeah. So we did It is time. But, but that was a long time ago. Well, all you Myrtle beast. It was fun having you all here with us today and we’ll be back next week. For another one.
