[Music] [Applause] thank you oh my God this is dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal and Link kneeling um my son just sat down and he’s got a arm and a sling and uh hey it’s a bad that he can’t shave or nothing he’s got a growing a beard for but what have you done yeah I wanted to surprise you I told Christy I was like Dad doesn’t know about what happened to me right no was this in Utah or what did this happened after Thanksgiving so you’re right I’m in a sling I broke my collarbone a couple of days ago can you guess how I did this just walking down the steps and fell down the steps yeah you got that little amount of confidence in me that I came walked out of my own steps well I mean sometimes it did involve a change of elevation but it wasn’t that well you know how that there’s um I’ve told you that there’s Bears around my house right oh yeah I’ve seen them in the swimming pool yeah I’ve sent you the footage or Christy has yeah where they’re like swim in the swimming pool basically they’re there to go through the trash and you know I take the dogs out every night and I get I gotta escort the dogs out there because oh yeah if if a bear happens to be there they can make a meal out of Jade and Jasper I mean that’s the last thing I want to happen pretty quick of course I also don’t want to make a meal out of me but like yeah so I don’t know what it is this time of year they’ve been going through the trash a lot more and so I was letting the dogs out and there was a bear there and the bear freaking went after Jasper well Jade ran back in the house The Bear Went after Jess Casper and I I didn’t even think about it I just went for the bear and the bear grabbed me by the shoulder and just started throwing me around like a rag doll and I felt I felt my collarbone break under the crushing grip of a bear oh yeah and then there was trash everywhere and he wouldn’t let go or she I think it was a she a she-bear I I started just rummaging through the trash with my free hand as I was being tossed around like have you seen the Revenant uh no I don’t think so it’s a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio but he fights a bear okay and uh basically loses but anyway it was kind of like that and I found an a can a can of beans like a black beans like opened and I just started just hacking at the bear and um I killed the bear like I slayed the bear but I did so the only thing I have is a broken collarbone but but I also have a bear rug that’s in the work and saved a dog yeah save the dog darn link uh well we’re gonna have to do some more work about getting something where them Bears can’t get around your house I mean that man that that’s kind of unnerving uh but not unbelievable no it’s not would not not because I’ve seen them at your house before and I mean years ago I used to go bear hunting some really and I know what how fast a bear can be and that bear probably weighed the one at your house probably raised around 300 or 400 pounds I would say more like 900 maybe 1200 pounds I don’t think he’s that big son no she was huge and she had like she had these like Hawaiian shorts on and she was smoking a pipe oh Lord it was like one of those like a Gandalf pipe it was like a long hand fashioned pipe so you really didn’t kill a bear then I I feel so good that you you thought that I Wrestled a Bear to death like thank you Dad for for believing Helen well you were saving the saving your dog and looking after the stuff around your house I pulled on your emotional heartstrings I’m telling you yeah you did okay this is none of that’s true well the only part that’s true is that my that the bear gets through the garbage at your house yeah well that and my collarbone is broken okay but yeah I had a mountain biking accident I I was thrown off my mountain bike and I I landed on my shoulder first and like right here where my collarbone connects to like the top of my shoulder it just like yeah that’s where Atlanta Andy just broke the end of it off it like pushed it down so I got a follow-up appointment with uh I was gonna say orthodontist and orthopedist I haven’t gone yet but like I went to the emergency room they did an x-ray and um yeah they they said that it wouldn’t need surgery I mean so that this happened this past Sunday okay so I just wanted to mess with with you a little bit I’m sorry for I’m sorry for scaring you but are you I’m pretty impressed yeah oh yeah so I you know I’ve hunted Bears myself you went to a 900 pound bear and then things got because that one really and I’ve seen that bear in your thing I know about what they waste so and that’s still a pretty good and that’s what people don’t understand about bears and stuff they’re they are lightning fast they can move so you telling me that you carried your dogs out and was trying to save one of them you know could have been something that happened yep well I’m still sorry you fell off you mountain bike and broke your collarbone you know because you remember do you remember years ago when you and I were walking in the mall and you wanted to pass season you reached up and hit me on my shoulder and it cut it would come out anyway but you popped my shoulder out of socket yes and it was just a love lick I was just like yeah yeah just punching his shoulder like a love lick is what we call it so I know how I know how shoulder things can hurt so I I you know I can give you a little empathy about being hurt in your shoulder and everything so well that that’s the first thing I thought when I hit the ground was I’ve dislocated my shoulder and I like I raised my arm and I was able to raise my arm and then I knew it must be it has to be my collarbone which it ended up being yeah I mean I told the whole story on your biscuits so I’m not gonna retell it here but I can I can I can tell you uh off mic the through the whole story or you can just listen to my other podcast all right but I’m not in any pain I’m not even on painkiller as long as I keep it pretty immobilized I’m doing okay I’m just trying to have a good attitude about it and trying to be patient because like getting clothes on and off and like trying to do my normal routine has been very frustrating but um quick story about a bear though I mean that a true story is that yeah I mean it was two years ago I took the dogs out and you know how you walk around to the right to go to the trash cans and that’s where they go to use the bathroom well back down to the left were like the pool equipment is it it at night it’s dark down there and I happen to look over my shoulder and I saw two eyes and I like I was just staring and it was like probably 10 feet away just stay and then finally my eyes adjusted and I could start to see what was around the eyes and it was the face of a bear yeah and and she was standing there like 10 feet away just she was on her way in to get to the trash so I turned and I did Dart and we only had Jade at the time and I darted and I picked up Jaden I ran back in the house and then when I came back out because I kind of wanted to look at the bear the bear was just moseying off like nice and slow yeah so yeah I did have an a face-to-face encounter with a bear which I I turned into something more Revenant like in order to you know get you get you a little excited today you were proud of me my son yeah my son fought off a bear I’m telling but you know it’ll take about six weeks for it to uh to heal so I’m I’ll be in a I’ll be in this sling for longer than I care to be even what the doctors tell you to do you need to do it you need to do what they tell you so it’ll heal up and do and don’t be hard-headed like your daddy you know maybe say oh I’ll be all right I can do this I’m a rule follower I’m not like you Dad tell me about like a memorable broken bone story that you’ve had I really ain’t broke that many bones before I broke my elbow I dislocated my shoulder but it won’t broke but I broke my ankle when I was about five or six years old riding on a bicycle with Uncle Johnny the same bicycle the same but yeah we would have and it was his bicycle we I was up at Granny’s house and we rode up to the store up at Carl McNeil’s Grocery and was coming back down the road and we had a bag full of stuff and I just I stuck my foot in the bicycle spokes oh on the bicycle and it stopped the bicycle but it like totally tweaked your your foot off of your leg broke your ankle it just Twisted it all around and snapped it and broke it I ran because then Johnny stopped and got me up off the ground and got us up and said oh you’ll be all right it ain’t broke we ain’t got to tell nobody what happened or nothing I don’t even think we were supposed to because he was older than you he was in charge three and a half years older than I am yeah so we went back to Granny’s house and I stayed there one night and bit this thing hurt and finally it was time for me to go back home and Mom and Daddy they carried me to the doctor because they’re gonna hurt his bad and it was broke I had to put it in a cast for like like you said like six weeks I I don’t I think I’m fortunate to not have to get a cast you know it’s funny the the bones that I’ve broken aren’t castable I broke my pelvis and you can’t I did bust my ass but it’s what you would typically but it was technically my pelvis couldn’t put a cast on that it’s just kind of like it heals back the way that way and um now with this they can’t put a cast on this either and the thing about Lando you know I took Lando one Wheeling on that like electric skateboard we’ve gotten him he broke his wrist and I didn’t take him in until the next day so when he when I came home from the emergency room saying that and Christy had already told him that my collarbone was broken he when I walked in the door he was grinning from ear to ear he just had this smirk on he’s had a smirk on his face I mean Christy Christy has felt for me she’s she said she’s felt sorry for me and like I’m struggling to get my socks on and eat my smoothie and just I’m not trying to burden anybody she’s been very she’s she’s felt for me but every time I turn around and see Lando boy he’s just got a smirk on his face and that’s unlike him you know he’s very empathetic yeah but when I came home the first thing he said to me was when I walked in the door he said dad you want to go to Luna Grill because after he broke his wrist I told him to go home take a shower and then I took him out to eat at a place called Luna Grill and that’s when he was like Dad I can’t I’m not able to use the spoon with my hand and I was like well use the other hand son we need to put some ice on that so he was like dad you want do you want to go to Luna Grill he’s I mean he’s just heartless about it because now the shoe’s on the other foot yeah turn about fair play for real yeah even with children in the dance that’s right yep but I was going to tell you a little uh we stayed home at Thanksgiving our other friend Bert across the street that lives over there has had a pig picking and he disinvites people around here and different people and this is the 43rd year for the pig picking oh when I got down there link Bert’s son his name’s Michael and he came running up to me and says well I’m glad somebody here this somebody’s here that’s famous and I look looking like one in the world so how old how old is Michael approximately he’s about I’m gonna say he’s in his mid-40s oh okay and he uh he said I hadn’t put it together he said because I watched your son on YouTube and then they said something about your podcast and I was watching it but I didn’t put it together that it you were the guy that lived across from my dad until one of his neighbors and his son has been has been watching your podcast his name’s Weston okay Weston Thompson Dad I’ve been looking at them for a long time where you been you know looking out and everything but he uh Michael I think he was a little more Starstruck Star Struck to meet me than his son but he said well we’re just going to leave you alone and after we ate and everything I went over and asked West and I said Western you want to get a picture with me on boy he grinned like a like a what like a possumer um just like a possum what like a possum eating [ ] yeah so yeah it’s got a ring to him he’s in Lord yeah I’d like to get a picture with you so I took a picture with him and his dad was sitting right there beside us and he said well if you’re gonna get a picture with him I’m getting a picture with him I don’t want one too so I line them up and give them all a picture and everything it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag I got a email from Aubry ellickson Phyllis okay and I’m sorry no

I can help you app he could be called Blarney Stone Austin [Music] okay I I got another email from uh Kyle Coster okay wants to know what was your favorite age besides your current age I thought about this a little bit but probably my favorite time in my life when I was in high school when I was from like 14 to 18 to when I went to school and all the friends I had and playing football and basketball and baseball and just doing all that things and didn’t kind of just didn’t have a care in the world didn’t have to worry about anything but except make good enough grades to get to play ball and enjoy myself and you know with all the things that I did with my friends and everything so that that was probably some of the most favorite times I’ve had in my lifetime so you were on top of the world in high school yeah when I was a teenager did did you walk around strutting your stuff like you were you were the [ ] no I I was probably pretty laid back about it I mean I mean they were some people that was a little better at Sports and I was but I was pretty good at it I was enough to be on the starting string on the basketball team and the football team so we really didn’t get into that we knew we were good enough so people knew we were good enough so they didn’t we didn’t we didn’t have to do that strutting stuff and everything so I assume you were really outgoing back then like you are now is that the case oh yeah yeah so were you just a jock or were you friends with a lot of different people were you like oh Charles is everybody’s friend or were you just more of like did you fit in in one like the in the jot category no I was probably I was friendly but the ones that didn’t play ball and didn’t do stuff I was friendly with all them and had good but when I got in high school I probably had more friends that was a little bit older than I was and they kind of just trained me a little bit and looked after me to know that you didn’t if you were good at something you didn’t you needed to recognize the other people that are around you too so did you pay it forward did you start helping out some little freshmen like teaching them how to raise hell and stuff yeah it must have helped out because I got a friend of mine that he called me probably three or four months ago and his name’s Woody Hart he’s going to throw a name out another holler at but Woody called me on the phone and this was after I started getting my own cars and had them 55 Chevrolets and everything he said man you were my hero growing up he said from playing ball to them fast cars you had you were who I wanted to be when I grow grew up and he grew up to be a real successful man in his own business and everything so does oh does he uh host his own podcast no I don’t think he’s still got some work to do hey I got his phone number I call him and tell him he needs to start listening to this podcast I throwed his name out there see what he said people calling you up telling you that you were their hero that can’t be good for the ego too good for the ego dad watch out now it’s time for a word from our sponsor and you know when me and Nancy and we went to Austin with all of y’all and did the show and everything and we got to stay a couple days extra because of y’all which was very nice we wanted to tell you thank you but we finally we went to uh a place called Cooper’s Barbecue he is in on 217 Congress Avenue in Austin Texas and Link they had ribs laid out they had barbecue laid out pork chops brisket and all kind of fixings and then they had desserts you could pick out and they had blackberry cobbler oh boy man it was some kind of good so if you’re ever in Austin Texas you need to stop by Cooper’s barbecue and tell them Charles Neal sent you from dispatches from Myrtle Beach because I talked to two or three people in there and one of them had already pulled up the podcast and was looking at it so they’ll know who they’ll know who I am so come on down to Coopers and enjoy yourself man this show will make you hungry might make you horny too sometimes foreign you want to talk to Nancy a minute oh yeah yeah yeah is she she’s here today yeah it’s time for another edition of Nancy is he behaving there she is hi Luke hey so you’ve been you’ve been hiding for a lot of these episodes I’m so glad we got you back on here how you doing I’m doing good so is he behaving he is been sick so he had to behave I don’t know about that so you know he’s been peeing in the shower no dad I told her I left you break the knees oh I I didn’t mean to get in a minute stopped up I put Drano in it oh well that hold on now wait I know there was a whole prostate thing but I’m just peeing in it I ain’t doing anything else I gotta apologize for this one this was this was me telling him about all the joys of peeing in the shower but he was very concerned about what you would think about it and apparently to the point where he never even told you no he didn’t this this is like one of them things don’t tell Nana don’t tell Nancy sorry but it’s all right are you doing it every time Dad no okay not every time okay but it hey it has got the best if the if it hits me I do do it so yeah because once you yeah once you’ve realized how inviting it is I mean it’s really it’s really hard to backtrack off of that so the last time we talked on the show it was really early on in the process and now I mean what’s your assessment is is ego getting out of control what what is your assessment of how the show’s going I know you went to mythicon you were a part of the show there but like is this still a good thing for him it is he’s having a great time we were in Sam’s Club about three weeks ago and I went around the corner and this guy says there’s Charles Neal he likes to be seen and heard and notified um and identified in public he likes to be seen heard notified and identified in public yep check check check check so I have I created a monster is my question just don’t let his head get too big well that’s your job my job is to pump him up and your job is to is to deflate him appropriately I can do that now Nancy I don’t know if if you have if you’ve noticed that I have an accoutrement here do you see this oh no what happened well Dad you’re gonna have to tell her what happened link went outside to carry the dogs out walking and all of a sudden there was a bear at the oh my gosh trash can one of the other one dog run in the house another one and the bear was running after Jasper and so link fought the baron and found a can in the trash and was beating the dog with a can and found it I didn’t beat my dog I mean kill uh he was uh fighting the bear did you kill the bear tell her dad and he killed a bear with the King no he didn’t yeah then he told me the bear was 900 pounds and I said that didn’t happen oh my gosh you I got dad to believe I think that I killed the bear oh yeah so that means that you didn’t tell it as good to her as I told you I didn’t I know I didn’t do as well as you no I’m sorry because I knew the end no I I uh I took a fall off my mountain bike on Sunday broke my collarbone oh my gosh yeah well tell him about tell him the funny thing about what your mama does it do when we go see my mom at the nursing home she can’t talk very much anymore she says a couple words okay and she can’t hear anything but as soon
