[Music] [Applause] thank you [Music] this is Charles Neal with dispatches from Myrtle Beach with my son link Neal from good mythical morning how you doing link I’m doing good dad what happened to my voice good I’m doing real good Dad I’m doing so good who is that guy from uh Green Acres he talked like this you know who I’m talking about did you ever watch Green Acres Dad yes that’s been a long time ago I don’t know how you know about Green Day yeah be correct Andy Griffith Show oh yeah I still watch that once in a while now I know there’s definitely this like Carolina loyalty to The Andy Griffith Show and it’s like it’s comfort food for the for the older generation Macy want to go back I’m telling you when things was a little more simple like Andy said yeah I think I’m more of the Barney Fife character I’m like the modern version of Barney Fife especially on good mythical morning would you agree yeah yeah you you you can uh kind of get into something and cause things to happen that you have to fix sometimes right like what was his thing with his gun because like for me I’m not allowed to have knives or any sharp objects on the show yeah they gave him one bullet one bullet one bullet and he couldn’t put it in the gun he just had to keep it in the his little holster thing this one bullet yeah yeah that’s that’s kind of like me I don’t know I don’t know what happened with you with knives you didn’t stab somebody or do something did you yeah or you say if yes yes and yes Lord oh well I hate I even brought it up then it’s all for the good of Comedy but um also safety so it’s nice when those things go hand in hand a sense of danger is different than actual danger but I don’t maybe I don’t know where that line is I think is how people feel about it who work with me here oh I think it’s just a bit that I can’t use a knife but they sincerely won’t let me use knives so I think the truth is somewhere in the middle but I could be totally wrong well you know you know what today is don’t you [Music] Thanksgiving I forgot that would be correct yeah that would be with this this show this Show’s gonna come out it’s going to be on Thanksgiving gobble gobble gobble oh really okay so as this is coming out what are you what what are your Thanksgiving plans are you are you are you turkeying it up we’re gonna turkey it up we’re gonna barbecue it up we’re gonna then go meet with family the Sunday after all the Candace and Brandy and Carl and yeah Cameron everybody that Sunday but uh you know um it just lets you think about you know Thanksgiving is a time when we usually get together yeah you know that’s right as a family you know things that you’re really thankful for and sincere about not just you know we try to have a good time on this show and do things but you know Thanksgiving is a pretty good time that you need to kind of Reminisce what you thankful for and I mean I I could go on and on this show won’t last that long I see where you’re going with this Dad I you’re pulling the dad card now it’s Thanksgiving we need to be thankful I want you to be thankful son that would be correct I want you to be thankful on Thanksgiving so come on take this Thanksgiving thing seriously I mean I you’re right we do spend a lot of thanksgivings together like the neels we’ve had a lot of a lot of history getting together and then once we moved out to California we got to a point where like sometimes we would come home for Thanksgiving and then sometimes we come home for Christmas but in what we really we do one or the other so you know we’ve we’ve each kind of had to find our own way but I like the fact that like because of this show we can have a little bit of both so all right I’m up for this I’m up for some for some gratefulness today you know there’s some things that you really ought to be thankful for but uh we talked about this on the last episode about how Nancy gets along with a lot of people yeah including your mother yeah and my track record hadn’t been so good up until Nancy and most of us will know all of it weren’t my fault but a lot of it was my fault but you know I’m really thankful that I found her and we get along and hey it ain’t like you know we don’t have a little disagreements in something but it’s it’s we talk about it and get along and move on and get over and it don’t happen very often but uh I’m thankful that you know she’s my wife and she’s in my life and that she she she really takes care of me and looks after me and to make sure that so I I on this episode if when she watches it I wanted her to know because she’s not here okay then I’m really thankful for her but you know I’m thankful for you too oh yeah get to me get to me I I’m thankful for you too because if you want for you I I just have to tell her this myself so because of this you asked me about doing this show and doing all this stuff but you know I got to thinking about this a little bit today and this is kind of turned into something that I don’t think either one of us expected no you’re right and people like us and and I wanted to just tell all the people that listen to this podcast and send us emails and send us stuff that I hope they have a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed herself two and just remember somebody that they think a lot about and give thanks for them yeah I’m I’m thankful for you listener as well I Echo

to everybody and hey I’ll go back to Nancy I’m thankful for Nancy I’m thankful for everything we’ve talked about in in your relationship yeah I’ve been thinking a lot about that last episode and I know that a lot of people reacted positively to it and it was just a a fresh different take on a dispatches from Myrtle Beach and uh there’s you know what it’s being grateful and processing things in relationships is it’s it’s life-giving you know I look forward to sitting down in this chair and having this chat with you I’m so grateful we get to do it you’re right I did I didn’t anticipate that it was going to be so personally edifying I’m thankful for you Dad I’m thankful for our relationship and that us growing closer is something that’s happening as a result of this so and I don’t like turkey you don’t like turkey yeah I changed the subject so we wouldn’t get too sappy I don’t want to start weeping on here now well I I gotta I got a little update you remember Amber and Bobby yeah you asked them to marry you if I remember correctly I said I see it and then we had to change all that so that Bobby could marry but Bobby said yes Bobby said yes yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah I wanted to tell him congratulations and you know send us in a little email about you know what’s going on when you’re gonna get married or when it’s gonna happen when you’re gonna make babies like give us all the details like we want a daily Vlog just let them get married first and then okay live together you know with uh and get used to one of them and then go to heaven young so we’re sponsoring their relationship so at every turn we’re going to be in the middle of it that’s right every conflict so we’re going to settle every decision that they need to make every big life or family decision do we know how it happened she didn’t say that she just said that he said yes so maybe she can send us a little something about how it did happen we need more details and then when we get the video version of this podcast going which by the way that’s what we’re going we’re working on that for next year so that’s a little teaser we can show a picture of the happy couple that’s right are you up for doing a video version of this show I I’m ready I’m kind of excited you know we just found out about it but you know I just hope it it turns out it’s well on the video version as it does as the podcast is done I I have heard that uh there’s a lot of people where you put some of the things we do on Tick Tock and they just get a little sample of what we’re doing today right they’ve been wanting more so we I reckon we go look at you talking about Tick Tock I love it yeah I’m looking forward to it I like the idea because it’s gonna put your face out there even more and you know what that’s gonna end up doing it it’s already happening what’s it I mean people recognize me we went to Sam’s Club last night and I was talking on the phone to somebody and somebody walked up to Nancy and said hey I know who he is she got to jump on him now were you doing that celebrity thing where you weren’t actually talking to anyone on the phone you were just pretending to speak to someone so that you wouldn’t have to interact with your adoring public oh no I was talking to Pat Hayes on the telephone okay he was calling asking me a paint question what he should be doing what he shouldn’t be okay I believe you you don’t have to give that many details Pat Hayes I mean what man okay I believe you Pat’s gonna like that I throwed his name out there he’s gonna get a kick out of that that’s right he owes you big time what’s Pat got that you need he needs to take a pocket full of money with him when we go to Reuben December oh snap y’all going to Aruba next month yeah oh yep does he Raise Hell or is that just you no he he can get with it pretty well too all right I look forward to hearing all about Aruba it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag well I got a uh email from Sarah s it says a boy is invited to Thanksgiving dinner at his girlfriend’s parents house so that they can meet him okay they’ve been together a while but haven’t had sex yet okay his girlfriend tells him that after he meets her parents parents they can get intimate so in preparation he decides to get some condoms at the local drugstore as this will be his first time okay he doesn’t know anything about condoms and so he asked the pharmacy what should he buy the pharmacist explains all about the differences between the brands and after a long chat the boy decides on a large box of rib for her pleasure good the time comes for the Thanksgiving dinner and the young couple are seating at the dinner table with the girl’s parents the girl is surprised to see the boy has his head bowed down apparently deep in prayer she whispered to him I didn’t know you were so religious he whispered back I didn’t know your father was a pharmacist oh damn you know this is this is the type that like definitely feels like it could be a true story I’m telling you man this could happen I thought the joke was going to be that something like he was putting it on right then he was just getting ready when you know that it’s gonna happen and they’re like she’s dangling the carrot and I don’t know what the carrot actually is in this analogy you know you can figure that out on your own but I think he was like all right as soon as I meet her parents then we get to go for it I guess at the table I I like I like the way that it ended better I guess that’s all I’m saying it’s just kind of like you said about you know your your life trajectory you had some UPS you had some downs and it makes you more grateful for um where you’re at now and someone like Nancy well how did I get on this I don’t know I’m just trying to be grateful Dad I I’m saying that your joke is better than mine mine sucks so much that I am thankful that you had such a good joke that’s what I was trying to say could I make it more clear no that that’s I appreciate that you know we don’t have these moments very often with you but it it happens once in a while I read but uh I got another email from uh Kara M it says what did one saggy boob say to the other saggy boo oh what did one saggy boob say to another saggy Boop see if we don’t get some support people will think we’re nuts I like that one that’s a good one wow that is Extreme that’s that’s hanging on down there ain’t it it’s hanging on down there well I I got another one and this one here is uh it’s on the kind of the serious side but it’s on the funny and the good side Grant Wilson sent me one said what’s one of your favorite memories of Link oh I love this lay it on me you know there’s been a lot of things that I remember about you but I when you and Rhett and all those other boys that you y’all went around with in high school had that band called a wax paper dogs yeah they had they asked y’all to play at the Fourth of July thing and when y’all showed up I can’t remember exactly what Rhett’s was like but your hair was red white and blue and I thought Lord how Mercy what is my son done man but hey I I always get a kick out that you know I guess with the business you’re in now and I think back about what what y’all did back then it was just a preliminary thing about what you were going to be getting in and doing for on the rest of your life so y’all didn’t know it and I didn’t know it but you know that’s a uh when you got all your friends around you in there and of course and we were down there to support you and everything but it was it was a moment that I had never forgotten and I I think I’ve seen some of those pictures somewhere once in a while yeah the pictures are floating around yeah this is this is in Lillington and like with the whole Community there so you show up and I guess we’re surprised to see this along with everybody like everybody knew everybody oh yeah so I’m sure everybody was commenting to you about my patriotic hair choice because you know your pop-up was still the chief of police then so he he had he was not now working and he can look to me and have you seen link yet and I said no he said well just get ready there was no opposition I I think you know you guys were smart enough to know that like that just to at least tolerate it you weren’t going to oppose it because it you know but in that scenario in that like time and place it did cause some waves you know in a way that like now I think like if Lincoln showed up playing at a Fourth of July thing he would have to have like a a very prominent face tattoo and even then I think it would need to say something very stupid like I’m stupid or something you know something like that yeah like that’s the level of surprise I think he’d have to bring the table to get the same type of response that I got back in the day for that patriotic hairstyle which was semi-permanent but um you know it’s just a little a little self-expression you know thank you thank you for supporting me Dad foreign [Music] you know we were talking about getting a name for what we might call our fans and everything yeah yeah you know and and we’ve had some people mail some stuff in to see what we might could use and you know which one we want to choose from I want to hear about it definitely so you have you narrowed it down to like your top candidates yeah I got uh six of them in here okay okay let’s hear them uh the first one is submitted by Jessica Crawford Clara Z and Cassandra Spence and they wanted they said Myrtle Beast Myrtle beasts okay so three different people independently had this idea at least these three could could have been more yeah okay yeah so it’s like mythical Beast meets Myrtle dispatches from Myrtle Beach Myrtle beasts all right that’s a strong one right out of the gate that’s a strong one I’m telling that yeah and the next one is submitted by Paul divisor and Shayla McHugh is called shag a listeners back anymore check a listener shaggle so cause shagalicious was a term we were thrown around shag a listeners yeah that’s kind of like taking an idea that didn’t quite work and then making it work it does work all right what else you got I got uh one uh another one by Claire Z is belt’s life Beast oh so like a golf cart yeah are you still in denial that your golf cart says belch life on it yeah I I I think my golf cart says Beach life on it but he’s still in denial y’all so we can’t do that one because you’re gonna be upset every time you you refer to it no that one ain’t gonna happen okay what else and it uh submitted by uh Nick Trail is the Shag pack the Shag pack I like that uh what’s your vote this is your show I’ma let you decide I think I’m going with Myrtle Beast that was the one I was hoping you would pick all right myrtlebeast this is it all right you are a Myrtle Beast I Crown you yeah we we we’re talking to all our Myrtle Beast listeners again now you don’t have to add listeners don’t add listeners oh okay just say we’re talk talking to all y’all we’re coming out oh y’all myrtlebeast coming after we’re coming out to all our you know our Myrtle Beast okay we’ll get better at it okay I got one more email from Justin ale it says what’s the last thing Tickle Me Elmo receives before leaving the factory I would think a battery but that ain’t funny so what is it two test tickles I’ve never looked down there in a Tickle Me Elmo but now I’m afraid and you know I’ve met Cookie Monster so I kind of I need to stay out of this one two test tickles now it’s time for a word from our sponsor you know link when we were talking about being thankful for stuff I’m also thankful and let people know what my favorite Thanksgiving food is and man I love some I’m not like you I love some turkey and dressing but if you’re gonna have turkey and dressing you got to have some giblet gravy to go with it to pour all over that turkey and dressing and then you got to have some mashed potatoes and candied yams and string bean casserole and all that to go with it and everything and then you got to have some pecan pie and custard pies and all that for dessert and then you just go over and lay down in the chair and hope you can watch the rest of the football game because man I look forward to turkey and dressing I love it of course I’m a dark meat turkey man so I usually can get all I want because most people like that the white breast but and I like a little bit but I like to put a lot of that giblet gravy on my turkey and dressing that’s so I hope everybody has a good turkey and dressing dinner or whatever you like but if you’re gonna have turkey and dressing make sure you have some of that giblet gravy with it and I don’t hey I don’t eat cranberry sauce so y’all eat it if you want to but uh I don’t like it so okay so we’re almost sponsored by giblet gravy I don’t want to know what giblets are but I’ll tell you I like cranberry sauce so there you go I like something that you don’t like that’s right huh you’re pickier than me you know me and you we’re not gonna be together this year on Thanksgiving you Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family and friends and remember what you’re thankful for but it’s also when a lot of myths can happen a new segment how does this what is this I got several of them here that we’re going to go up and rank and see which ones the worst and which one is the worst worst that can happen thanks so you’re gonna list these things out and then we’re going to rank them from like worst to even worst Neil Thanksgiving Edition okay so it’s the opposite of being thankful okay I like it it’s time for our first edition of [ __ ] that ain’t good let me hear it the first one just kind of goes along with Nana with the Cabbage where we talked about the other day it says Nana makes Thanksgiving dinner from her fridge oh okay that’s bad let’s hear the next one to know if the next one is worse than that there’s a plumbing disaster in the house and everyone has to go outside in the yard after a big Thanksgiving meal ever like and when you mean go in the yard you’re talking about like take a dump in the yard Ah that’s what I’m that’s worse kind of high yeah that’s worse that’s worse but eating Nana’s eating Nana’s food out of the fridge if you haven’t cleaned the fridge it might lead to that scenario anyway but that’s worse it’s like that would be quite a bonding experience it’s bad but it ain’t as bad as the next one oh the next one is the turkey explodes and catches Lynx hair on fire oh that’s my that’s my livelihood dad I cannot I’m telling you that’s worse I’d rather take a dump in front of my whole family that’s also taking dumps in the yard and have my hair burned off I’m sorry I’m just I’m just kind of attached to it no pun intended okay the next one is someone accidentally mixes up the salt and sugar in all the recipes oh gosh that would be pretty bad if you know all the desserts was had soft in them and this is something that could definitely happen like I’ve had I’ve had meals I remember I went over to Rhett and Jessie’s house one night and like she was supposed to put a teaspoon of salt and something but instead she literally it was soup and she literally put a cup of salt in it and she didn’t know until we all sat down to eat it I mean it was like eating something on a good mythical morning like it was like that V when we bite into things and we don’t know what’s in it it was that bad looking for looking forward to the meal is so important to Thanksgiving like that would I mean that that one’s actually scary because I could see it happening but it ain’t as bad as the others so you’ve put it in perspective this is actually a good thing yeah I thought that one was probably one that you really would not want to happen and everything but it’s mid you know the next one is link mistakenly thinks Charles is moonshine it’s apple cider and gives it to the kids I thought you were saying and then I just really liked apple cider because I think the really bad thing that could happen is me getting way too extra at a family event like the Good Mythical evening version of link is not anything that’s ever showed up in person at a family event like I don’t know how I don’t know how I would be able to live that day out like I’m not sending out invitations to Good Mythical evening to all my family to watch honestly but my my kids hahaha oh I don’t actually feel bad about that like I’m gonna feel horrible oh yeah I’m telling them that one’s almost not even funny because I’ve kind of cringing too much oh my gosh Charles accidentally chops off part of thumb while carving the turkey which part how much of the thumb are you gonna lose I hope just a little bit off the front office nothing but I’m you I’m sure you’ve actually done that before you ever cut off the end of a digit maybe a yeah a little bit yeah right so I think I ain’t never cut my whole Thumb off I think this has to be the whole Thumb in order for it to be a candidate like I don’t want you to lose a thumb opposable thumbs was quite an evolutionary Advance it’s not something we want to walk backwards but it doesn’t it’s not my thumb so I’m ranking that pretty low definitely below my losing my hair okay and the last one says Charles automatically mistakes a can of brown paint for ham ham glaze this is this is in salt territory so it’s not taking the cake what is the worst one I think I’ve put them in order did we did we let all my hair being the worst that really can’t be the worst I think it’s I think it’s the the family dump session in the yard I mean I think yeah that’s a good story though sometimes it’s better have a good story than a good time even on Thanksgiving it brings the whole family together you know I’m starting to talk myself into it I’m going with the hair I don’t know about what the neighbors is gonna say but we’ll we’ll we’re gonna go with the you know the plumbing disaster in the dump session in the yard that’s what we’re gonna go with that’s the worst thing definitive I love it [Music] yeah Lincoln reckon it’s time for us to get on out of here and we’re gonna have to swing into something else again next week and see what we can get into but I hope everybody has a Happy Thanksgiving and you know and just enjoys food and family and the tradition that everything that goes with it and even though we won’t be together even if you’re not American you can be grateful hey ain’t that the truth sometimes especially if you’re not American oh we’re getting political yeah we ain’t gonna do that oh Thanksgiving okay that’s a good point you want to talk about religion it’s not too late it’s Thanksgiving let’s talk about religion and politics no all right so address the listeners by name oh Lord I didn’t you forgot it you forgot it well I’m gonna get out of here I’m gonna get on out of here and swing into something else but I hope all you met I didn’t forgot it again we’re gonna get on out of here and swing right into something else next week but I hope all you Myrtle beasts keep watching and seeing what’s going on we’re grateful for you you need to send us something in and send it to rather be shagging53 at AOL.com so have a great Thanksgiving and we we love all y’all I second that love you myrtlebeast love you too Dad love you too
