foreign [Applause] [Music] this is dispatches from Myrtle Beach with Charles Neal and my son link from Good Mythical Morning what’s up I’m doing good dad boy you got to you got the sign looking good there I’m telling you well I realize that I have a backdrop too but it’s not in the shot it’s like I’ve got it’s the name of the show and everything but it’s in a shot we don’t use so it’s still not as good as your backdrop man you look like the sun’s going down give me a dispatch let me have it Dad how you doing I’m doing good well it’s it’s been hot here humid and how hot we talking about well let’s in the 90s and but the heat index is about 106 with the humidity and everything so it’s it’s hot Monday they said the temperature in the ocean the water in the ocean where you can go swimming it was 86. what 86. I mean it’s warmer and get that’s like getting in the bathtub definitely I mean especially if you’re the second kid in the bathtub did you you know what I’m saying did you yeah growing up did you have to uh take turns in the same bath water yeah with me and tasty yeah sometimes so she would take a who would be first were you like trying to get there first oh really and uh most time it was her okay then so you would take it later on when Mom and Daddy built the house we had a showered in you didn’t have to just get in a bathtub so you know oh wow yep ever who could in the late 60s so was it kind of like it was kind of like getting your first color television do you remember the first time you took a shower you took an indoor shower dad it had to been sometime 1967 the end of 19 in the end of 1967 but not them but you know I almost in not I think 1960 was the first time we got a color TV and you so you remember that how so how old would you have been uh about seven what was that like were you mesmerized well before we used to go to church at night on Sunday night Dr P just lived right down the uh straight from us and uh because he just knew us and uh he he’d invited us over out to church because he already had a color TV so I had gotten a scene one before we ever got one at our house a year or so before that but that was that was a pretty neat thing growing up about six years old getting to watch a color TV that’s hilarious so you all went over to Dr Pete’s house just to watch TV and color for the first time and to watch Bonanza so Bonanza was okay I guess I was about to ask a dumb question was it in color or was just was it a color television but you were still watching a black and white show no it was it was in color I know it was a dumb question I’m sorry there ain’t no question duh that’s all on this show yeah that’s true right it was like that that’s the first rule is that and there’s no dumb shaming we can ask any question we want if we don’t understand the punchline of a joke or anything really uh this is a safe Zone to say I don’t know what you’re talking about that would be correct for me more than you probably most of the time but it is correct I’m telling you yeah we’re in this together and what else is new well we’ve been still picking some string beans and putting them up we had uh I come in today from working and picked another half a five gallon bucket full so I that’s gonna probably put us close to about 60 quarts we’ve put up this year so 60 individual jars down there in your um Pantry with your go-kart I mean uh golf cart that would be correct yeah so and then how long do they keep oh they’ll keep for three or four four or five years because it can and I know where it stays either cool or the Heat’s in there they they’ll keep a long time are you happy with the um with the stoutness of your string beans this year pretty hey I fertilized them again two weeks ago and it’s got a little bit of string beans on them like this so next week I like to pick them again I’m trying to get the we put 67 quarts up last year I’m trying to put see if I can get that many or more this year you’re competing with yourself and guess what I get to do tomorrow uh pick more string beans no yes but it’s at your Nana’s house oh so I was right oh you got to drive up there I gotta go up there and uh me and Nancy’s going up burning I’m taking on my paraphernalia the cannon weed and going up and picking her some string beans and gonna put them up you’re like the Walter White of string beans I guess so what’s your take on you know how they prepare string beans up here over here on the West Coast they don’t cook them long enough oh well we uh when we were growing up Nana them always put some fat back and all that stuff in the string beans but we don’t do that we put a little bit of canola oil in them and some salt and pepper and then A little dab of sugar just a little bit not even a teaspoonful and put them in there and let them you have to let them cook for even after you can them for about two hours or so link Logan tickle me Logan said look at her look at tickle me in that said how do you keep do you give them string beans away and I said hell no what you’re stingy with your string beans oh yeah not hey that’s too hard of work to be given that’s like giving away Nancy’s turnip salad when she don’t give none of them out away so I I don’t I don’t give none of these string beats when people get to come to the house and get to eat them that’s when they get to eat some but besides that no I don’t give them I don’t I don’t give no string beans away all right all right I’m on Aston damn well I got a uh holler out to Clyde Chandler all right he says I’ve been a big fan of good mythical morning and Rhett and Link for a long time and was so excited when this podcast came along the father-son dynamic is fantastic and I was scrolling through Instagram earlier and came across the video of a very cool popcorn ceiling removal tool okay thought you would appreciate it and it was posted by and and and uh Clyde I appreciate you posting this thing and I’m she’s gonna pull it up for me and look at it but I’ve used this thing before so it’s not it’s not anything new to me what in the world got a vacuum on it it’s like a ceiling buffer oh yeah and it sucks it up so it eats the popcorn it Sands It Off so you’ve tried one of these oh yeah I’ve used it of course you have Dad and it ain’t nobody pulling no fast one on you you know Glides thinking he’s gonna slide in here with something you’ve never seen related to popcorn ceiling removal he’s got another thing coming right yeah well that’s a and it’s a pretty neat thing and Sharon Williams has got them where if you’re a contractor they’ll just let you use it and take it out you don’t have to rent it or nothing okay and I’ve tried them and sometimes they worked like that one was working down there sometimes they ain’t worth a hill of beans oh you have to get up and do it by hand and wet it and get it scraped off but it’s a pretty neat machine so you don’t even try it anymore or you you’ll still use it in certain applications I I I’m not taking I I retired from taking popcorn off of ceiling I’m done with that okay that’s way look at look at how angry you’re getting right now way too much work you’re just see me you you I’m sorry that you’re in such a that Clyde has put you in such a bad spot Dad it’s like we got to get you back to your happy place yeah wait dipping that 86 degree water yeah we’ll run out there and forget about the popcorn ceiling so Clive tried to school you but it didn’t work but we do appreciate it Clyde it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag well I got uh to meet males you know we get we get several once in a while yeah and uh Melinda sent one and it says a pair of cows were talking in the field one says have you heard about the mad cow disease that’s going around yeah the other cow says what do you think that other cow might have said have you heard about the mad cow disease going around yeah it’s um he is it something about being angry I’d be I’d be angry too if uh I don’t know have you heard about the mad cow disease going around and says makes me glad I’m a penguin what that’s what I’m trying to figure makes me glad I’m at I’m a penguin a penguin guess what the kale says it makes me glad I’m a penguin he don’t know it’s a cow Rick that’s it oh wow that’s what you call uh alternative comedy or there’s a whole genre of Comedy dad that is okay it’s funny because it’s not funny I think I think the kids these days love it okay unless you’re wrong about what makes that funny I think that’s my best guess as to how that could be funny well I’m gonna have to agree with you because I didn’t know why it was funny or not but I mean you know the poor old cow thought it was a penguin I like how you say that word say it again the p word penguin penguin penguin penguin yeah penguin penguin penguin yeah penguin I say penguin maybe I mean maybe I’m saying it wrong is it penguin p-i-n-g I know it’s not how you spell it but that’s how you you spell the pronunciation penguin penguin yeah it’s a penguin pen okay I like how you say it better than how I say it okay penguin all right polar bears well I got another email from Trevor Dunbar and Trevor had a very interested questions he said greetings from Arkansas hey Trevor I need a good coleslaw recipe to make some of those chili dogs you like so much do you happen to have one yes he does he’s asking the right man is he not hey Carl he called the right place because they me and Nancy can make some killers killer coleslaw as a matter of fact we made some for the 4th of July wow every fourth of July that I’m not there back home I miss it so much like some reason like that I just think of Lillington I think of like us us being at Nana and Papa’s house eating those Burgers off the grill with that slaw that you make and then going over and watching the fireworks I can taste Fourth of July it’s just like it’s it that was always such a special time and I think that was one of the I mean we always do Christmas it’s not that we wouldn’t do all the holidays but July 4th was very specifically like Lillington based and and going to Nana Papa’s and uh you can’t beat that slaw you know it’s great I don’t know that I’ve had any better tell us tell it tell him the secret well travel when you we got we got a mandolin that you cut the slow up with and it I don’t I don’t like my slaw when you put it in a uh Cuisinart or something like that because it it just chops it up too fine so we cut it up on a mandolin and Nancy usually does that and then she puts it in a bowl and I just take a regular hand Chopper and chop the slaw up and get it the consistency that I wanted it’s not too fine but it’s still ain’t got a it ain’t got a but it ain’t got any big chunks in it but you know you’re eating slaw that’s important it’s important because the mandolin that it creates like elongated little string slivers but then am I right in that you’re taking one of those um it’s a round it’s got a handle but then it’s it’s a round Chopper that’s right and then yep you’re just you’re you’re you’re shortening all those elongated slivers and you have a lot of control over it when you’re doing it manually that’s correct and then we always and the one thing you need to recognize about making good coleslaw you need to go somewhere that you know and pick out a good cabbage because if it ain’t a good cabbage it ain’t gonna be good coleslaw how you pick out a good cabbage I don’t know well as they still got them green leaves on them and cut them in the grocery store to do here anyway where we can go get one so after you do that then I get apple cider vinegar and Arkansas don’t have this but Duke’s Mayonnaise but you just get some regular mayonnaise and then get get the sugar out and then ever how much slaw you make you kind of have to figure out what you need to make but I put I usually make about six take six tablespoons of mayonnaise put it in a bowl in about five maybe six tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and and Stir It Up Get It stirred up good mixed together good and then I probably put like a quarter of a cup of sugar in it and stir that up good and then when I get that marinated and to put on the slaw before I put it on the slaw I put some salt and pepper on the slaw and I take a fork and Stir It Up good for it’s all mixed up in the slaw all that and everything and then I take this sauce we just made with the vinegar and the mayonnaise and the sugar and pour it all over it and Stir It Up good and get it and then put it in the refrigerator and let it get cool again because it hey people even this past weekend said good God that’s the best slaw I ever eat nothing well I ain’t the first time I ever heard that I mean yeah yeah I mean it really is I mean and it’s you gotta it’s got to be a little salty that’s right Trevor we done made you happy bar well and I reckon Trevor I might would give up you talked about the uh chili that went on the hot dogs if you write back in one day I might I might even give you the recipe for the chili to go on the hot dog you can’t have it okay don’t give them too much at once Dad they gotta they gotta keep coming back for more that’s right I’m just enticing them to think about sending me another email that’s right and my favorite hot dog I’ll give them this you know what I’m you know what I’m about to say my favorite hot dog is the one that we always had the uh Jesse Jones Jesse Jones then uh pink ones light pink not the red not the red ones uh not those deep dark red ones uh-uh the light pink Jesse Jones that’s that’s that’s the one I want sitting under my slaw well I used to I you know of course Union as old as I am but I’ve eat all kind of hot dogs I you know I used to eat them bright leave hot dogs all the time let’s meet up here at Smithfield I know people swear about a bright leaf I don’t I don’t I I don’t get it’s not for me it’s not for me ain’t nothing wrong with that yeah but I got another email from Braden and Braden’s got us something that he wants us to happen with Lincoln it says I’ve been working on planning my proposal to my high school sweetheart Christina we have been together for over five years much of them being long distance with us at two different universities for our engagement she has told me that she wants our families to be there so we can all spend time together I want them to be hidden in the moments of Christina has no idea that I’m proposing how should I hide our family members out of sight until the perfect moment and how should I signal them to show themselves well I’m gonna try to help you with this a little bit Brayden cause uh about a year and a half ago my sister’s son Lance uh wanted to propose to Lauren at Christmas and he wanted uh her mom and daddy to be there so instead of having to hide somebody and do something you need to kind of plan this around maybe a birthday or Christmas when you got all kinds of other stuff going on and then Christina won’t know that you’re gonna drop down on her knee and ask her and the people won’t have to be hid you don’t have to worry about none of that because it was great for Lance and Lauren where when he I wasn’t there what right we were not told me about it yeah it was one of those Christmases that we weren’t there and what how did he do it I don’t I don’t remember him tell me he is he uh they were all sitting around and been eating and everything and they I I don’t know I think maybe they’d even they’d had already opened up presents and everything when they were kind of trading back and forth and and Lance looked stood up and Lauren was standing over somewhere and said well I guess she was kind of looking for something else for Christmas were you oh and she kind of just nonchalantly they said just kind of nodded her head and everything and he said well I got one more gift for you for Christmas and he dropped down on one knee in front of everybody right in front of everybody and pull the ring out and I said Lauren will you marry me so that was that I mean it was hey it worked out good for Lance and Lauren and everybody was there uh but you know um just to let this is my aspect that that was all well and find it all mamas and daddies and all everybody was there and got to see it and do all that but that ain’t my ball of wax Brenda oh no no Aston Christina or whoever you’re going to ask to get married to me is a private thing just like when I proposed to Nancy I was sitting down on the beach they were it was about five or six o’clock in the afternoon they want to sew around and we were sitting in two little small chairs and that’s I pulled a ring out and asked her to marry me out there because you know sometimes people don’t always say yes all right yeah people don’t always say yes you kind of wanted to be a private affair with us a note yeah you’re gonna say no I mean doing this and besides that Brandon you know I have asked more than three people to get married hold on what what you know what so so you know Nancy’s my fourth time soon I’ve been I’ve been practicing in it so well I have your mom in a man you so have you asked more than four women to marry you there’s four okay so you are four for four I thought I thought I was about to find out that you had been turned down by a fifth oh no I ain’t or a six no I ain’t never hey yeah Dad Dad was there ever anybody else that you almost asked to marry at any point no what has anybody has anybody asked you to marry them at any point you said no uh I did have a girl to ask me that run to uh Elks club she she told me one day she said you know if you’re looking for another wife because as good as you are to women and you give them this and give them that all this stuff going on she said I’m married and stay married to you for about 10 years and then just going about my business about 10 years and yeah I said with Julie I I ain’t ready to get married yet but I appreciate the offer I’ll have to I have to put that back in my she was willing to give you 10 years she was going to give you one decade oh yes she knew your track record most of the time I’ve been married 14 years the other two times so okay I mean I mean that’s more information y’all needed to know anyway no no we’re we’re here for all the information there so that was more of a notch I mean she didn’t have a ring or anything she just had a she just had a timeline yeah Charles if uh well you know I’ll give you 10 years if uh if you’re up for it okay you weren’t quite ready for it I get it no no so uh Braden you just gonna have to kind of I don’t know if you want to see or try to hide them in a room and do it in private see how it goes but I got an idea go ahead that’s somebody out there well you had two good ideas I’m just gonna add a third one if if you want to do a beautiful outdoor proposal in private all you got to do is I’m assuming there’s eight or less family members that you want to be there and that’ll be plenty depending on the size of tarp um just throw a tarp over them throw a tarp over them and then whenever it’s time uh you just have a little air horn or just give them a signal or like a any little thing and then all of a sudden the tarp comes off you know no place better to get me uh proposed to than uh in the vicinity of a covered pile of junk that happens to be all your family independent how big of a tarp can you get what’s the biggest tarp you’ve ever seen dad 40 foot wide and 60 foot long yeah how many people you can fit under that 60 by 40 tarp a bunch of people yeah I mean you may remember if uh uh 18 people under that tarp yeah pretty easy yeah that’s it that’s it and then uh you got to make sure they can breathe and make sure they you know make sure everybody’s all right put grandma in the middle oh yeah she’s the tent pole yep problem solved and then if they say no just uh leave them under the tart you know go back and then call them ah abort mission you’re welcome that’s the best we can do Braden all right well I got another email from Sarah says help I want to paint my bathroom a bright cheerful color but something that’s not too overwhelming especially why people are trying to powder their nose oh is this is this y’all look at this paint y’all need to look at this paint Okay so I’m gonna give you a little bit of help I got two colors right here okay I forgot the name of them sir let’s see but the one I liked is called butter up butter up butter up it’s a PR it’s a nice pastel yellow color and it comes from Sharon Williams so it’s not overwhelming to uh powder their nose no it’s not overwhelming and it’ll be a nice color because yellow I don’t know what color is outside of your bathroom or if it’ll flow with it or what it’ll do or anything but most of the time yella I’ll go with most any color unless it’s something that’s really bright bright so try to uh try to butter up and see how it works and all you gotta do is you can go online at Sharon Williams just look it up you you can see the color and see if you like it or not so this is the most helpful episode we’ve had in a long time we’re giving out recipes man we should charge for this kind of help that’d be nice wouldn’t it it would be not gonna happen it’s time for the belts life Bulletin well how’s the water in the ocean out in California I mean is it are you talking I I’m you already told me how nice feeling your water is now you’re trying to get me I know what you’re doing here yeah my water my water sucks it’s too cold it’s in this to answer your question it’s a tad bit murky we’ll link just to let you know the last couple of weeks down here and it’s even made the newspaper down here and the Sun News that the water down here is just a beautiful blue coral color I mean it’s it’s beautiful wow is it yeah they’re talking about it in the news did you notice this phenomenon before you were reading about it in the news or you just are you um too glazed over out there no I I saw it uh we went down to the beach of week or so ago and I mean it was it was just some kind of it was it was beautiful I mean that is tropical what’s the reason do they know why it I mean because all the years that you’ve lived there or been going down there for the summer have you ever seen it this blue I’ve seen it blue like this before and it it’s got a lot because when you don’t have storms and and it gets hot here yeah and when it’s doing and you don’t have storms that’s sediment just like your water that’s it you got sediment in the water right and it it’s not getting stirred up with the sand so it’s floating down at the bottom and it and it lets the water be the the natural color that it really is when it’s hadn’t got a hurricane coming up through there or something like that that this is just this is just my I think that’s the reason is so you didn’t actually read the article you just looked at the picture oh no I read the article down here from the Sun Times it’s it got a little blurb down here it says beach goers have taken to social media showing what they believe to be exceptionally clear and blew water in Myrtle Beach this Fourth of July weekend it was like an emerald blue and you could pretty much see the bottom in like four foot of water said Phil Jackson owner of good vibe Surf Shop is that what Phil Jackson is up to now he’s not he’s not coaching I think that’s Bulls I don’t and he said then a phone interview Jackson note is clearer than usual water two weeks ago that the majority of tick tock videos were from this weekend two days ago Tick Tock uses Caleb Brown shared the deal the Beats from a hotel rounds three videos on Myrtle Beach Waters have almost 2 million views combined wow another Tick Tock going viral another Tick Tock with almost 500 000 views showed the Grand Strand water let’s see it been here 50 times never seen it like this listen I promise to you this is dirty Myrtle it just ain’t dirty no more like dirty Myrtle ain’t dirty no more I like that that was pretty neat so you’ve been out in this uh undirty Myrtle water yeah I’ve been out in it and you could walk right out uh can’t be naked like they can see you three of three or four foot and be out and see still see your feet down in the bottom of is it the type of thing that if because you go into the water out there to pee don’t like to be correct yeah I know so now people can you know people can see that’s what you’re doing mm-hmm right you ever dropped a deuce in the in the water dad no I don’t lie it’s hard it’s hard to do I have I have attempted uh no I I’m not going to attempt it if I got to do that I’m going somewhere else sometimes sometimes you just gotta you gotta give it a shot yeah I understand that I’m glad you understand it and you know what and we me and
