foreign [Applause] [Music] this is Charles Neal from dispatches from Myrtle Beach and we’re here with my son link from good mythical morning how you doing link hey hey I’m good dad it’s good to see you it’s good to hear from you how you feeling well it’s good to be seen after the past weekend we had with the hurricane that come through so I mean this is good that I that we’ve even sit here and even talking you’re above water yeah well I’m above we stayed above water but it was rough well I I want to hear about it of course you know the previous two episodes we you know we recorded them ahead of the storm so that’s why you know we’re waiting to this point to give people an update but you know a lot of people were tweeting at me the day that the storm was coming through and I replied to somebody and I put a screenshot of our text thread that like you were you had made it through so a lot of people were asking if you were alive I don’t know if you got any emails you still alive yeah we still alive so what was it like what was Ian like because at Myrtle Beach like I mean it was absolutely catastrophic for a lot of people we want to acknowledge that like I mean it’s been really sad for a lot of people I mean I don’t know where the damage was mostly concentrated but it was more in Florida right oh yeah I mean we didn’t have any anything like the people in Fort Myers Florida where I mean that there’s not anything left there it’s so tragic and I mean people a lot of people lost their lives right yeah that’s so sad and so what I mean what was it like when it came through your area well it hit about three o’clock and a lot of people know that if you’re on the west side of a hurricane it’s not a good side to be on because when the hurricane hits land and the wind changes directions it comes up through here like a monster and I mean there’s some places right up above us at Cherry Grove that it flooded and about 20 streets two foot of water 20 streets from the beach ocean yep so what was it like hunkering down for this thing because in your area they weren’t saying to evacuate right no they were just saying kind of batting down the hatches how do you yeah how’d you get ready and then I mean what was it like me and Nancy and mostly Nancy she went outside and got all of her paraphernalia up that she’s got in the yard and we got all the flags up her yard paraphernalia what what kind of yard paraphernalia you’re talking about I mean these little things you put flags on and she had her pumpkin and stuff out for Halloween and and flowers those flowers she has you know then we had to put all the chairs that’s up under the house and push them up together and get them all together and where did that stuff that couldn’t get blown around and blew into anything so he made it sound like she did most of the work well I’ll point that out yeah I think I was still working so when I got home the paraphernalia was up hey she she helps out a lot I’m telling you but we had a time during the she came into the back of the house and looked out the window up where we you know houses on steels and our double gate in the backyard was blew around backwards oh she said we got to do something when we tried to go out the front door and the wind was blowing so hard I couldn’t Push the door open you couldn’t even exit your house no and and I won’t get in the elevator so if the pilot went out we’d be stuck that’s right everybody my dad has an elevator in his house we’ve been sitting on that one that’s right yeah he’s he I mean he is a highfalutin Myrtle Beach guy when your house is on stilts and you build it yourself one of the first things you knew you were going to do was throw an elevator in there that’s exactly correct yeah I think she’s probably pretty happy to have an elevator she take go to death hey after about three or four months she said boy this was a good idea so what were you saying though you said you weren’t going to get in the elevator so once you decided you couldn’t leave the house because the wind was so bad yeah I mean you had no business going out during the storm to try to fix the gate anyway well when it in a few minutes we went out the door and me and Nancy went outside with the wind blowing about 60 or 75 an hour and fixed the gate why why you know I didn’t want my gates to get tore up so I’m upset dad I did this is not what I wanted to hear I don’t want I don’t want to hear that like you’re out there cavorting trying to fix a gate during a hurricane come on come on now don’t make me come over there well come on a little bit it’s too late now don’t go out in a freaking hurricane at the gate could the gate could have crushed you it was really just a tropical storm then it wanted you know on a hurricane it was just about 60 miles hours I mean it sounds like a lapse in judgment 60 miles an hour how do you even stay how do you stay stood uh you have to profit kind of hold yourself up well we was doing but me and her got it done we we fixed it I mean this is a don’t tell Nana you know what I’ma tell Nana you did that I’m a teller we might have told her already but I can’t remember well I bet if you did tell us you would remember because her response is not the type of thing that usually one forgets no but so I’m going into Nana mode don’t you ever go out during a tropical storm to fix a gate what’s more important Charles Nancy me and Nance it makes more sense today but it’s kind of like being in the heat of the moments you know you you want to you you want to try to fix something that’s right you’re a knucklehead and you gotta learn to think before you go out into a hurricane well Nancy was gonna let me go out and she went with me so I didn’t you know I won’t go and let her go out by herself Nancy told you to jump off a cliff would you do it uh Bitcoin whether or not I had a parachute or not yeah you’re right if Nancy tells you to do anything I uh yeah you should probably do it yeah so is that as bad as it got what did you lose power it blinked I was blinked on and off several times but every time I do it Nancy go up and reset the clocks and after about the second the third time she said I ain’t fixing these no more till I make sure the pop was gonna come back home today y’all are so damn antsy sit your ass down during the hurricane and don’t do I’m just it’s just it’s very I mean every time you turn around she’s she she’s resetting the clocks you’re in the eye of the storm it’s like it’s halfway over don’t reset the clocks yet she came back upstairs and I went back out to do something more a little bit more with them Gates and the wind was pretty bad still and cheat when I come back in she says do we really need to stay up here our house is swinging Rock and kind of back and forth and I said that’s what it’s supposed to do is Rock back and forth a little bit that’s when you build a house on steps it’s supposed to move a little bit your house was it was swaying like a skyscraper well I mean yeah kind of like that just a little bit was it creaking no she could just feel it you could you could no you could and I had felt at a time or two before she did but you didn’t say anything you thought maybe she wouldn’t notice because she was too busy resetting the clocks yeah doing she was back there doing something else or something well I’m so glad you guys are totally safe even in spite of your your impulsive judgment I learned my lesson son I won’t do it again son I promise don’t worry about it I’ll leave the gates alone next time I promise Son Well Nancy and I went out to eat at a place and the little waitress that kept coming up to me kept looking at me and just kept looking at me and looking at me she didn’t never really say who you were and I finally asked I said uh you uh know who Rhett and Link are and she said oh my God I need and the girl’s name is Kia like the car Kia like the car see I I will observe that in the last couple of stories you’ve been telling me you’ve reverted back to do you know who rent link are but I think you should you can fully own do you know who I am I mean the shirt’s been made you’re wearing it sometimes and everybody who you’re asking if they know us it’s because they know you so I don’t think you need to pull back on the do you know who I am yeah just let them have it she was just jumping up and down and she she was probably 17 years old or something and she and then she wanted to know she could take a picture with me so I said well I’ll let you take a picture I said but here’s what you’re going to do you’re going to tell all your friends about Lincoln myself we’ve got a new show that we’re doing together called dispatches from Myrtle Beach yes all her friends said I can’t believe you get to meet Link’s dad I thought I said well you can tell them come down here Phil watch dispatches from Myrtle Beach I’ll take a picture with him that’s right yeah everybody gets something out of this deal it was pretty neat I love it it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag when we talked last week about all this alien stuff that we were talking about the aliens contacted me after last week’s episode and they have made contact they sent me an email well that I guess that counts they sent me a dirty joke email okay so so they’ve been listening yeah they either are a lot like us human beings and stuff and they they have people that tell all different kind of jokes or something but is it in English yeah it was in English oh okay good if it hadn’t been in English I couldn’t have read it so yeah well you could probably put it in Google Translate or something does Google have a translation for alien language yes yes definitely no okay all right that’s something new for me then the first one they sent me says why do US aliens avoid having sex in public why do US aliens avoid having sex in public now did these did the aliens sign it like did they say what their name was uh no they just put aliens watching this show that’s all they put in I put no name on it yeah they don’t they don’t want to reveal much about their no their whereabouts or their identity that makes sense that’s exactly what an alien would do I guess if you would press me on it I could have told you that aliens don’t have sex in public because I’ve never seen an alien have sex in public but I didn’t know it was because they didn’t as a policy so we we’re learning something about this uh this group of beans already they don’t have sex in public now why I don’t I don’t know why well they said because we prefer to come in peace should have known we come in peace that’s reassuring next time when I’m contacting maybe they’ll contact me again and give me a little more information about what’s going on with him maybe get me to work get me somewhere and I might might transport me up and let me see what’s going on would you uh would you sign up for that trip oh yeah they might have to have me a clause where I have to be back every week so I can do my dispatcher for Myrtle Beach you know I love you got your priorities in line I I guess you’re assuming Nancy is beamed up with you oh and she probably ain’t going for that she probably tell me okay just come back and she’d take care of everything on the home front she’ll be back here eating ice cream kind of like when you’re riding the roller coaster rides that’s right yeah it so that’s the only email from Aliens so far so far yep okay all right wow it’s I mean should we contact the government I don’t know if you know there’s this whole division now they’re they’re coming out with all that information about aliens maybe we need to like get them involved well uh you know what we’ll just leave it to you yeah you can be our point of contact with aliens and when I say our I mean like human society like you you are now entrusted with communicating with aliens did you respond to the email yeah send them something back and told them just you know if they had some more questions some more jokes just send them on in and I’ll see if I can answer them and you only want jokes yeah okay I got another email from Caitlin D it says a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants the ball keep says do you realize you have a steering wheel sticking out of your pants it says I and it’s driving me nuts That was supposed to be I’m trying to figure out yeah it’s supposed to be like a pirate’s accent you know when you yeah we are like a pirate says like shiver me timbers walk the plank you got to work on your your pirate accent yeah say [ ] say shiver me timbers giving me timbers yeah I guess I don’t know you’ve never heard of pirates hi it’s driving me nuts okay that’s uh I mean I mean I don’t know if I have a better pirate impersonation argue the Bounty is coming through the blowhole I I buried me treasure beneath beneath the the octopus legs uh from the steering wheel in my pants it’s still what is it again it’s it’s a I get staring me nuts yeah it’s driving me nuts oh it’s driving me nuts walk the plank matey matey see you gotta you gotta find a way to do more of a swordy type of accent dead try that try try getting down in here all right yeah you’re driving me nuts yeah I’ll have to work on that on on my other side job work on that while I’m doing something else while you’re laying tile I heard I’m laying the style it’s not it’s not plumbed correctly my Plumb line is is wonky I mean do you have a Plumb line when you’re uh laying tile I know you do right yeah we yeah Square things up before you get started burn things up before you get started next time we do this I’ll have you read this you you do such a good job with it you’re proud are you proud of me Dad yeah I’m proud of you yeah yeah thank you Dad you’ve had more experience than this than I have but maybe another year or two I’ll get better at it another year or

how long do you think you’d both survive in a zombie apocalypse do you have an idea of who would survive longer between the two of us already in your mind probably you because you know you probably know more about zombies than apocalypse apocalypse stuff than than I do but uh I don’t know I disagree with you though I mean that that had everything I do is I can’t do anything without the internet I can’t make money I can’t find knowledge I can’t make decisions I can’t buy anything I can’t travel I can’t go from point A to point B like I can’t even be a parent probably I I don’t know what I can do without the internet that’s the first thing that goes man you lived a lot more of your life without the internet you lived a good amount of your life before electricity existed right no I think well I ain’t gonna go that far but but you know how to do things I mean you were you were a farmer you’re a painter you can fix houses you can you can fix a gate in 60 mile per hour wind I mean it’s like thank you for the credit but like support your position with some sort of evidence because you would know how to kill an animal in order to eat it oh yeah I’ve never done that I don’t I don’t think I’d be weeping but I think I’d be like ooh ooh like the apocalypse for me is just a bunch of gross scared you know well it wouldn’t scare me like that I mean I’d I’d probably be doing like he said I uh I’d be fighting handing two with all the paraphernalia that I got around whether it’s flags with an ax maybe I just looked at I looked at this thing into a different light because uh I didn’t I didn’t figure that uh maybe it still wouldn’t be in the internet maybe they’d still but they’d still be internet where you could look stuff up and no find out but if ain’t gonna be none of that it’d be it’d be better off with me looking after me and you and uh see if I couldn’t save both of us okay now you’re stepping up this is what I like to hear you got to find a way out here when the apocalypse is is coming on I mean honestly I’m the one who need to get out of La you know I gotta make my way over the mountains and get out of here I’ll find my way to you we need to come up with a rendezvous Point yeah and so it’s like son if you can make it here then I’ll take care of you well don’t hold on don’t tell everybody don’t tell everybody this has to be a private conversation I don’t I don’t want everybody showing up at our Rendezvous point I mean you have it you have to be having to take care of a whole a whole community of people we’ll talk about that later so we’ll know where to meet with us it’s apocalypse or uh uh some kind of disaster or anything we will we’ll know where to get together and where we need to meet that’s a deal I won’t tell everybody yeah don’t don’t okay I got a another email from Bob the land it says what trait do you think you gave link the most oh okay another personal question I love this this is a good question what what trait do you think you gave me the most I guess it’s kind of a vain thing but you’re a handsome guy so I think you got you know got some good looks for me and from your mama’s side and everybody but I mean everybody sees how much we look alike so you know that’s right I I probably got to take about 90 percent of that credit oh snap yeah we look we look a lot alike I think if it wasn’t for that I don’t think that was like the Genesis of this podcast like people think it were versions that we’re like different age versions of the same person when you just look at us it’s pretty uncanny there’s not a lot of father-son Duos with this much resemblance you know that doesn’t mean we have to have ravishing good looks but I gotta give it to you Dad you done me right like if I take my glasses off yeah see when when I take my headphones and I push all my hair back kind of like you’ve done telling I’m telling you I’m telling you you did hey when you did that and I looked in a me and you that’s right when I did that wait I’m just telling you me and you it’s like if he’s in a pot people asked and said y’all sure do look a lot I said yeah I cannot claim him I said he’s mine I can’t not claim him either because I mean let’s just see what we can get into that’s right let’s see and and when I do when I do an impression of you it is higher it’s up here yeah button out it I think it’s right here I think this is where it is hey you looking in the mirror what you see is what you get is what you get what else though besides besides come on let’s go a little deeper you uh got a good personality and but you got a gift for gab because if you didn’t you you wouldn’t be able to do what you do for a living so you can talk to people and articulate to them and personality I mean we have very similar personalities like an outgoing yep we can both be the life of the party right and more more than once yeah you say you come into the party you leave you come back and then it’s like you become the life multiple times and the third thing that I thought about was you you you’re a lot like me you you like to be in charge and be the one that’s taking care of stuff oh yes in control in control I’m telling you yeah you get to be opinionated if there’s something where I think I know the best way to do it I’m kind of I just get I kind of got to get my hands in there I got to get my hands dirty I gotta I gotta take control of it so to speak so it’s kind of like it it can come across as a maybe opinionated at times or yeah I I feel that I think that’s true yeah I got more gray than you do we know that came from Mom’s side of the family by the time I’m your age I think my hair is going to be completely white or it definitely the vast majority well I think it looked good what so I I do too I I’m I’m totally I’m totally cool with it I’m and I’m just glad that like the other thing I got for me is is keeping hair like a thick head of hair into old age oh yeah I think sometimes when I get fro we get frustrated in the same way and maybe that’s a control thing but like sometimes we just get which we get we get mad in the same way and it’s just it’s kind of like it’s good let’s just kind of like a frustration because Christy will let me know and especially after our vacation together she was like oh God I know what I’ve got to look forward to you’re the same the other day I was talking to Nancy about something and I answering a question or something I kind of shook my head like this and she said you’re gonna have to quit doing that I’m tired of you shaking your head when I asked you something and like I I didn’t understand or something but I said I know what you’re talking about you know and then and and she says because I have to tell you A lot of times you don’t hear what I’m saying so I said oh okay coming back to haunt me because it yeah it’s kind of like a you know how like a horse will like a horse will shake his head sometimes sometimes you do like a more silent version of that when like somebody’s saying something you like you have a dissenting opinion about you’re like so have have you gotten bet have you caught yourself doing it since well listen it did I think she just told me that about two or three days ago so I I’m working on it it’s a work in progress okay all right yeah never stop learning dad that’s right yeah but stop shaking your damn head when I’m talking all right I I got another email from Jamie Davis and this is a joke it says okay what’s the difference between hungry and horny now we’re back to it uh oh you ain’t horny hungry and horny um is that have something to do with getting full no uh I don’t know what’s the difference between being hungry and horny where you stick the Cucumber yep that’s pretty much it I should have gotten that one yeah I don’t know now it’s time for a word from our sponsor I want y’all to go to a restaurant called fillets us older people we go to the what they call these early bird specials when you get these specials on all this food they got all kinds of they got a a beef stroganoff thing that you can get they got these chicken wings they got fish bites they got all different kinds of things just like that on the menu and we ordered them fried dill pickles and bought them things was good and there was another couple with us and we tore these things up so of course it’s all good with a cold beer anyway so of course you know Nancy was drinking sweet tea but uh but we had a good time and they got some good food so if you ever come down to North Myrtle Beach what’s neat about this place link it’s right where the swing bridge is at and you can sit down eating if the boats are coming through the canal the you you can watch the bridge turn and let all these bigger boats come through so it’s a pretty neat and besides good food a place that you can sit outside and watch all these things going on so it’s called fillets at 2120 Sea Mountain Highway number 1100 at North Myrtle Beach South Carolina so if you ever down here and want to go to the early bird special just call me up and I’ll go down and eat with you so come on and uh we’ll we’ll get something to eat down here at fillets [Laughter] all right you keep telling people to call you what’s your number oh wait a minute now [Music] link I got a story from when I was growing up but you can’t tell Nana now oh yes let me let’s do it it’s time for another edition of don’t tell Nana when I was about nine years old a gun A bunch of us friends were building a tree house in the back of Steve Brown’s yard and had a nice big tree back there and we were trying to get stuff up pretty high up in the top of it so I told I told him I said we need to run up here to the house that Daddy’s got one of them tickles where you hang up in the tree and it’s like a pulley where you can put a rope through it and it’s got a hook it’s called a tickle okay and you put a rope through it so we we hung it up in the tree and put a rope through it and pulling it up and it was Steve and another boy was up in the top of the tree and I was pulling the rope and pulling the stuff up and the rope that was holding the tick along broke and the tickle fell out of the tree and fell down and hit me in the top of the head oh I said oh man well I’m in trouble that’s the first thing you thought was I’m in trouble yeah yeah because I I reached up there and failed and I said well I don’t feel no blood maybe I’ll be all right and then all of a sudden you could see the blood just running it was running down and Steve running his house and got a towel and they helped me but they won’t put about a block and I have two blocks to the house and Theresa was there and Theresa come in and this Tower was just red bloody and she run next door and said Mom I told her said you have got to come to the house Charles has got a top on top of his head and it’s just full of blood and she come running over there and wanted to see and the doctors always want to block the way so she walked me to Dr williford’s office over there and carried me in there and they sewed my head up and got all the got the bleeding stopped and everything and went back home and you know there won’t no cell phone then so mama had to wait for Daddy to come home well he come home and it was when I was playing Little League and we were already in a tournament playing little league that we’d already made it to like the second round and Daddy come in and said what in the world have you done and Teresa told him said he pulled a tickle out of the tree and it fell and hit him in the top of the hay he said well can you play ball tonight and I said doctor told me I couldn’t do nothing oh boy Daddy was mad [Laughter] he’s amazing you not done something stupid and foolish anyway now you can’t go play ball tonight just going back down in the bedroom and just stay back there you’ll be uh you’ll heal up and be all right I’ll we’ll just have to play without you tonight was he the coach or something he was the coach oh he was coaching My Little League team yeah you know that was one of my stories where I did something kind of stupid [ ] trying to build and then didn’t cut and play play in the ball game no more so fairness I actually thought it was pretty ingenuitive to like use the advantage of a machine to hoist things into the tree house that was the smart part what’s the chance is that when that thing failed it just would hit me right in the top of the head maybe that’s what’s wrong with it oh is that that’s what this story is All About is it yeah let’s play like we need to take the pressure off of dad a little bit guys he’s uh you know when you take this story into account and the Crowbar story it’s crazy yeah you’re doing an amazing job at hosting your own podcast I must have a hard hand though I tell you you are hard-headed well you know that the reason the first time I got stitches in my head which happened twice was it was Nana’s fault I was probably about the same age maybe I was seven and um we were in the carport and um we were building a fort with a sheet in the garage and she used a brick to hold the sheet on one corner and I guess I pulled down the sheet and the brick fell right on my head and I had to get stitches she felt pretty bad about it so if that does that make you feel any better that Nana basically dropped a brick on my head well and then she was telling me Oh it’s like oh you’ll be fine it’s like if you knew what your daddy went through this is nothing and I was like I suck at baseball anyway oh watch out for that tickle boom [Music] oh this has been a fun one Dad yeah I’m telling you uh seems that like every week we get together we get into something else and we keep swinging right along sir I want all the
