DFMB 29: Chinese Spy Balloon Shot Down Near Myrtle Beach!

[Music] thank you [Music] this is dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal my son link from Good Mythical Morning you’ve been we’re going getting ready to swing into another show son you ready to go yes sir yes sir father a reporting for Duty I am sorry that I was reporting a little bit late were you waiting on me you know but you’ve been waiting a pretty good while but I you know sorry you know it’s just like that song you know you know instead of waiting on a woman I was waiting on my son well this this is the reason why I was late this one right here Just Fur bag of bones Jade I would I was making myself some coffee and apparently uh the dogs were um being held in The Green Room of our studio and uh they weren’t in there when I went in the green room I just went in there to kind of look at my hair you know give a little hair check because Dad I always want to I always want to give you my best I’m gonna look my best for I hear you and then um I stepped in looked in the mirror stepped out and uh something felt a little mushy under my foot it seems that I had stepped upon some dog I stepped upon it I’ll tell you there’s no Silver Lining to step in in dog that I’ve found no it ain’t no no silver Learning so that kind of put a stop to everything I was like well I’m I’m glad I was the one to step in it because I know it was one of my dogs and not an employee that you know it’s like I don’t want to do that to a to a member of the team but when’s the last time you stepped in some dog let’s turn it into a positive a story I can’t it’s been a long time since I stepped in any that’s because Gypsy knows where to go right that that’s yeah now I’ve stepped on a dog Barefoot at home because my dog’s gonna sneak off and they’ll just they’ll just they’ll lay a little egg and it’ll blend in with the rug and then you’re walking barefoot and all of a sudden you got you you’re feeling squishing up between your toes yes squishing right up in there Dad yeah but the Silver Lining to that is that it’s easier to clean the other way you got to go wash your shoe off get everything clean put back on let it dry so right now I’m wearing I’m wearing two different shoes well you brought up a little bit about um that you always go by and look at you hair and you know make sure everything’s looking good and everything yeah well I I’ve been told by my wife that I need to get a hair cut oh that it’s getting a little long you know and I’ve been I’ve been thinking about you know growing out like I did that time we did the episode where it’s way down on my shoulders but yeah when you did the cookie roulette yep that was probably the is that the longest it had been oh yeah because it didn’t get much longer than that before you decided to cut it yep that’s correct but you’ve over the I well what do you have a plan I mean what was your response when Nancy’s like it’s time Charles I I just told her I want red to get it cut yet oh of course of course my son-in-law told me uh this weekend when we was at the mountains at Beech Mountain up there we was at a restaurant eating something was said about my hair and Carl said you just need to get a damn haircut what was said about your hair then that it was kind of messy and it was all unruly you know from wearing a toe bag and pulling one off you know how it does when you do all that yeah you know you can’t hardly do nothing with it so you know he said you know you just need to get a damn haircut and I said you just need to mind your own business you just jealous because you you keep yours cut off that’s right see yeah it’s like it’s your hair you got to do what you want with it Christy gives me feedback she tells me what she likes but she doesn’t like tell me I don’t know it’s got to get pretty bad for I don’t think your hair looks I think it looks pretty good right now I mean you got the headphones on and everything but like yeah but I like it I like it short and I I liked it when it was long does she like it when it’s longer and it’s just a question of time she likes it a little long where it fluffs up in the back and curls up and stuff but not long kind of like it does now and flips it all that stuff so you know have you ever had a mullet like a bona fide business in the front party in the back no no but one time I had it had it I grew it out one time back no 70s and had a permanent put in it where it was all curly what all right do you have a picture of this I would love for you to dig that up um was it like that like was it a title yeah like a Bob Ross fro type thing it was pretty curly yeah wow I would like to see that let’s go in that direction again uh no I ain’t getting no problem I can’t believe you’ve never had a mullet I mean you know growing up in Harnett County Lee County I mean did there were more mullets than non-mullets right yeah they probably were but I I never had one I think you should go with the mullet man run it by Nancy but just tell her that that’s that’s my vote that I’m encouraging you to just toy with the mullet just give it a little don’t knock it till you try it Dad hi yeah hey I might be game yeah I’ve seen Blake Shelton would want so you know if he if old Blake can have one I don’t see why I can’t have one right well I gotta holler out we’re gonna do um but I I’m gonna mess with your brain a little bit about this holler at okay and uh for this recognition story and it it happened up in Beech Mountain this weekend and I I saw a guy and we were in Food Lion I was in food line at the grocery store and I was getting ready to leave and go out and it was a guy standing beside a cart and he you know how some people and I had my shirt on said Good Mythical Morning on it and all that and good work um and and the guy was kind of looking at me and I said uh do you know who I am and he just said well no I don’t know who you are I said well do you know do you know who uh what good the So Good Mythical Morning on YouTube or do you know Rhett and Link and he said oh yeah and uh he’s he told me a little story and do you you uh you ever remember a guy named Brian a guy named Brian in my day Dad back I’ll just give you a little hints back when he’s going to school uh you talking so like a high school Brian College college Brian I don’t know you got to give me a last name or something a description uh I don’t think I got his last name but I got something that’ll probably make you remember him okay he had a nickname but this guy was really he thought highly of you anybody had a nickname and his nickname was Blondie oh yeah he he lived with me one time yes he did that’s what he said he said he needed a place to stay and you let him come and live with y’all in your house yeah and I haven’t seen him since he since he moved out oh yeah that is that is hilarious that you went up to him just and he thought he might have recognized and then he just knew you from college and we and we talked for a little while and his wife was there and I didn’t ask him a lot of questions but I I thought this was pretty ironic that I stopped to talk to somebody he knew who you were but he didn’t know who you were because of the show or anything yeah and I I just thought that was that was a pretty neat thing to run into somebody that you helped out going to NC State needed to place a state yeah while I was going to school holler out to Blondie I remember you man hey blondie we’re giving you another holla rap from uh Charles and Link it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag well I got a uh email from Tabatha Tabitha Ellison it says if a blue bird has blue babies and a red bird has red babies what bird has no babies what bird has and what no babies no bird the no bird the no bird has no babies foreign what you laughing at how about a I thought that was a good answer that’s pretty yeah the no birth yeah it was funny never heard never never yeah but what she’s got down here is a swallow how do I feel about this has no babies what what bird has no babies to swallow that’s that’s that’s just afraid to say is I don’t quite get it but I’m just afraid this is a BJ joke is it yeah it might be it might be yeah but red bird and bluebird babies has red and blue bottles and no no bird has no a bird that has no babies is a swallow I don’t get it see we put Logan in this position where she has to explain this stuff to us Charles do you get it well uh it uh I don’t know if I get it or not but uh you know swallow is is if two birds can’t get together and then she’s just swallowing us because it is not getting to where it needs to get to right yeah yeah okay just okay all right some jokes are better than others do you have another one do you have anything to forget that okay well let’s go and I got one from Geo McGee and it says have you heard about the man that ejaculated without a wiener a wiener no I have not heard about this person who ejaculated without a wiener he came out of nowhere oh he came out of nowhere okay I get that I get that one that one’s very straightforward you know very straightforward all right I got a a question from uh email from Laura and it says what is the best piece of advice you’ve both ever been given do you do you have something in mind do you have like some great advice that you’ve gotten the best advice you’ve ever gotten yeah I got a couple of things but uh a lot of people’s probably some of the best advice I’ve got through all the years and everything is never go to bed angry with your spouse so how do you put that in practice well I mean if something goes on with me and Nancy I try to make sure we talk about it and that we get over what we were disagreeing about and and come to a mutual agreement with it and just uh where we can uh where I can get a little bit of that Sugar then going off to sleep and have a good night’s sleep so I yeah I this is something that I’ve thought about it’s come easy to me to want to do this because I just can’t I have such a hard time with unresolved conflict you know and I never have trouble falling asleep but if anything’s going to keep me from falling asleep it’s going to be like tension between me and Christy sometimes if I’ve upset somebody who’s like it’s not Christy but just somebody else it’s like oh it makes it hard to go to sleep I hate it I like that’s the only thing I wake up in the middle of the night it’s like I’ll wake up at 3am just thinking oh man I’m the way that I said that I don’t know if I that came out wrong I don’t know if I hurt their feelings or something like I think about those type of things and with Christy sometimes she likes the space you know we back when we talk about The Love Languages and the Love Languages space when it comes to like being able to do your own thing well sometimes in Conflict like I just want to like fix it fix it fix it like get over it get get Beyond it and it’s like she makes a really good point it’s like hey I sometimes I need to have some space to process things and if it kind of coincides with like the end of the day there was a little bit of conflict about conflict there because I’m like hey we you know we don’t want to go to bed angry with each other but there’s so that’s that was kind of a tough thing we had to work through you know because she’ll be falling asleep in an argument because I insist on like I just can’t let it go it can be the same way with me and Nancy because sometimes it it if I’ve done something that really pissed her off you know it might take her a day or so to get over it but kind of what I’m saying is I I’m gonna I’m gonna apologize to her and let her know that I’m sorry and to just leave it at that and then and it may be the next day or something before she says something back to me about it but I know I have tried to alleviate and the situation and tell her that I’m sorry and you’ve owned it with what goes on in this move on and then I can go to sleep whether or not she can go to sleep or not but at least I’ve got peace of mind that I’m go to sleep yeah so well look at you throwing some more good advice in here you’re saying on your piece of it take a step towards but don’t try to control the response you know because it’s yeah you have to you know it’s uh kind of have to let them do that on their own time too when they feel good about doing it and everything yeah yeah yeah I feel that but you got more best advice what is it and I got I got another says you know if you want to be happy in life and you’re gonna work and do stuff you need to find something that you’d like to do and and do that because liking what you do is half the battle of getting up and going to work every day I don’t mean to put this in a negative light but I’m literally living my dream job like this is what I dreamed up doing and here I am doing it yet there’s still days that I get up and I’m like I want to do it I don’t want to do it and so even in the best case scenario there’s still times when I feel that way so yeah if you can if you can engage your passions and and what and and something that you really enjoy in your career is what you’re saying then uh your your off to a much better start you know because it’s still it’s still going to be part of it like you enjoy what you do right yeah you know but I I’m kind of I mean I I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing but for 40 years and sometimes I I wake up in the morning and say oh Lord I got to go do this again today I really don’t you know I could I could I could take a day off and not go do this today but you know you just got to keep going and then after most time after I get on work get on up and going to work I’m good with it because I like what I do what’s your favorite part about it the favorite part I can would even like what I’ve done the last three weeks where I remodel this scraped all that popcorn off and remodeled her kitchen and put had her new countertops put in and new cabinets and all that stuff and then when when you when you’re about through and you see and you’ve got everything done and uh they’re just jumping up and down it’s static about how well everything looks and how well that I’ve done and fixed everything for them that that that’s what that’s what makes it worthwhile to me that doing a good job for them and then them them being uh tickled to death with the job that I’ve done tickled to death most of the time most of the time that’s the way it is with what I do to the people because if and I don’t leave till you know they’re satisfied with what they wanted me to do so you’re two for two do you have a third best advice probably the third one is that you need to just be honest with people and just tell them right up front you know uh how you you know how you either feel about something or whether or not you can you know people ask me sometime can I do this to fix something I said no I don’t do that it’s just like Plumbing work I don’t do no Plumbing work I tear up more in 15 minutes then a plumber can fix in two days so your third piece of advice is don’t Plumb if you’re not a plumber yep I got one for you okay don’t sweat the petty stuff Pat the sweaty stuff and that’s my favorite advisor I do say that again Pat the sweaty stuff pet the sweetest you can have that one for free I didn’t make it up you didn’t no just come off the top here no I didn’t make it up no it’s it’s I think it’s written on uh the five dollar bill actually on the five dollar bill dispatches from Myrtle Beach isn’t the only podcast that has a new YouTube

wow you are you’re like you’re like the dog whisperer now it’s time for a word from our sponsor it’s called the uh Alpine Coaster and this is what we rode when we it’s right across from Sugar Mountain oh okay and the next time you’re at Sugar Mountain at the Alpine roller coaster you need to go on and get on this roller coaster because man it’s fast and it it really moves and it’s a wonderful trip because you can buy a a ticket on it and to get to ride it three times in a row and go up it and go down it and it’s got these levers on it where when you get to the top of the mountain you push them levers forward and that’s as fast as you can go well when I got on it I just pushed the levers forward and just left them there and I I was speeding around that thing and going but my sweet Nancy I want the same thing for her you can see her going down the mountain and she was pulling back on them live was trying to slow that thing down when it was going around all them curves and they’ll take a video for you so you can watch it back to see how you react on the coaster so here’s us oh my gosh look she looks she looks petrified look at her face she’s scared but you you granted [Laughter] she is not a happy camper camper all right there you go Alpine Coaster huh yeah so if you have up around the mountains you need to go try that well like you uh have you heard the news about what’s going on down here at North Myrtle Beach give me some dispatch it’s time for the belts life Bulletin the U.S Downs the Chinese suspected spy balloon off the coast of the Grand Street yes hey so yes I’ve been meaning to ask you about this weeks ago it was like the huge thing where it was like the Chinese spy balloon was over like Montana and then they like called off um a trip to China because of it and they were like all apologetic and then yes what what happened because it did you where you don’t want to shut it down no no hey this balloon was 58 000 feet in the air did you see it no and we were in the mountains and when it went on but the one time a Chinese balloon comes is shot down over Myrtle Beach you’re not even there dad missed it but there’s a lot of people that told me about it I mean uh Danny right here sitting the side of me she she saw the uh about saw the whole thing she said it was coming across and they were following it with the car and went out and and but they saw she she said she was backing her car up and thought she run into some when the uh plane shot it down it was a big boom I mean and I’ve had several people say good God it was a big boom when this shot because it was a missile right yeah I shot it down with a missile and where did it land in the ocean it landed out in the ocean yeah that was the one of the things they said they didn’t want to shoot it down across the United States after then took all the pictures they want to take and everything they want to get and probably already got the information back to China and then shoot it down over the ocean they said it might have some nuclear stuff on it or something so did they send some good old boys to go out there and recover it they’re like swimming out there in their mullets we I don’t know about that mullets but they got the Navy and uh down here uh putting in at Myrtle Beach up under the bridge and going out and and picking up all the debris from it and everything and they even put something out on the TV today that said if you find the a piece of this debris from this balloon don’t pick it up don’t pick it up don’t do nothing with it just call the authority so we will come and get it I thought what did you go he’s crazy how am I know it’s it comes from the from the that balloon or no I mean it’s the way they shot that thing blew it up it blew it all the pieces could have been just part of a bumper from a cord or something the way the people were talking that was going out there and trying to retrieve all of them they want many pieces as this thing left with what they used to blow it up they didn’t just shoot the balloon down they shot the big thing up under it and blew it up and then that’s what made so they can’t even hardly find the pieces of that with what they’re looking for so were people warned that it was happening or was it like Word of Mouth that like people just looked up and saw it’s streaking across the sky the missile well I think I did hear that they had told something about that they were going to shoot it down when they got over the ocean but I don’t think that got out to a lot of people that that was going to happen I think it was pretty abrupt when they they blew that thing up with all the people around him because it just several people I’ve talked to said man it was some kind of loud with what happened like it kind of shook stuff with what was going on and here you were just over on the Alpine Coaster yeah just riding around didn’t even know nothing about the balloon deal we got back to the room and I saw it on the news said darn we missed him shooting down the balloon we could have been at home watching that can’t be two places at one time no you can’t dad well I reckon we buy the wine this episode up yeah it was fun having all y’all with us here today y’all come on back next Tuesday and Thursday for another one we’re gonna swing stuff around and see what we can get going again and if you got a joke a question
