didn’t say who you were but I did well you did you took a you fixed it for see it’s been a little while I’m a little rust we good I think as long as we doing this been doing this most people know who I am now every episode there’s somebody new who’s like I’m going to check this out what is going on with these guys you never know that there’s a lot of people there’s a lot of people I think checking us out cuz I’ve had some several people down here uh that’s when I tell them about it and they said well we go we going to start watching that that’s right still a Grassroots campaign a lot of ways if you’re um if you haven’t told your friends about dispatches from Myrtle Beach Now’s the Time to do it oh yeah share to love let them know make our ears burn isn’t that how isn’t that the same dad your ears are burning years yeah I had a guy tell me that about an hour ago on the phone says did you what is there something going on because me and the our Sunday school teacher at church they were at a Bible study today and they were talking about me and I said well boy if y’all was at church I sure do hope it was good oh yeah was it he said it was so okay but he said are your ears burning yep that’s what he said okay all right well listen I I got a big surprise guess what we won the second signal awards for the weirdest category we won again really we we uh we tped tped tped in a row I’m telling you wow I mean all right I love it yeah I mean it’s nice to be weird but is uh it’s even better to be doubly weird you know hey and when people like you and you’re weird that makes it even a lot better so so so this was the signal award for the weirdest podcast category that would be correct weirdest podcast category I know how it works it’s a you know there’s a there’s a fan voting component so we got to say thanks to the people voted to the Myrtle be beasts thank you Myrtle Beast for voting making this happen CU I don’t I hadn’t seen yet if you knew about it but I mean because I I’m I am going to tell you that I I Logan sent me the stuff and I did vote you know you got to vote for yourself got to believe in yourself oh so I voted too and voted for uh ear biscuits and all that stuff so who’s weirder out of the two of us who do you think’s really pulling weight for this award well well I I I would have to say that would be me you think you’re weirder than me well I I don’t do the same kind of stuff you do but I think the people’s voting because of me and you more me than you I agree that you’re the reason why we won the award in general yeah I I I push the weirdness towards you and you just you just you just Waller in it like a pig you like to Waller in weirdness you don’t you don’t shy away from it I think that’s one of the reasons why this works yeah I think so CU I don’t think I got a shy bone in my body kind of like you so we we we you know we just I just walk up to somebody on the street and just tell them about dispatches from Myrtle Beach me I just we all know you I’m proud of it and that sometimes I ain’t even got my shirt on that says do you know who I am so and now you can say two-time winner of the weirdest uh worldwide web podcast Award of course it’s hard to say two-time winner of the weird award try try that on five times fast two two time two time winner of the weird award where you going to put it on your on your mantle piece you got room uh not right now you got to build them you got to build an addendum to your mantel piece I’m going have to I’m going to have to build another little cabinet or something cuz Nancy’s got the mantlepiece decorated with flowers and Halloween stuff and all that good stuff so okay I can’t be me I can’t be messing up her mantel piece hey it’s a good problem when you’ve got to build a cabinet because you’re winning so many awards maybe I take some of these uh pictures off the wall and here when I was the president of the Shag Club in the 25th year and won that big award for that you don’t need to take any awards down you just need to keep piling them up no I was going to put it in with all the rest of that’s right that’s right no I ain’t taking it now I like that one yeah so what else is going on well B we gonna catch up on some stuff I I I I got a I got a text message from your mama the other night okay and it it was all good but I was really kind of you know for me to get put back a little bit so the text message said uh were y’all serious about me coming down and seeing you and Nancy and coming to the beach and yeah cuz you in you invited him you invited Mom down to the beach but you know and then but she said I want to come down there and go out with y’all and watch y’all dance that’s great so I instead of I I text her back one time link and I said the heck with this I called her up you’re not much of a text her that’s right no so I called her up so me and Nancy both could be on the phone cause it’s really the reason your mama and my wife now feel comfortable about doing stuff is because my wife is she likes Sue yeah likes your mama and it’s like just like Nancy says she Sue Nancy always says he say Sue ain’t never done nothing to me that’s true it’s true so so besides uh I I love it like when like when Lance got married and the things we told about your mama sitting on one side of me and then my what Nana told and then and Nancy sitting on the other side of me so somebody I told somebody about it and says sounds like you going to have a wise sandwich down there at your house you don’t always have to be the meat and the sandwich you know they can what when when she comes down there Nancy can take her shopping and you know oh yeah Barefoot Landing or whatever it is oh yeah you know but I thought it was I I think that’s that’s a testimony to my wife now and and your mama and you know lets you know that sometimes when you get a divorce and stuff goes on that uh people can get along that’s right yeah it’s uh it is a good lesson to learn to see that in action is is is nice and uh I know that you know mom’s going to join us for for Thanksgiving we’re already laying out those plans but when so so when is she coming down to the beach did y’all pick a date well this this was the other funny part I we said you know we had to kind of go back and forth on the weekend to go see Nancy’s mama and do this and that and and your mama told us said well you know all you got to do is let me know about two days in advance I can be right on down there I I ain’t got to have much of a notice I said well that’ll work you know and then she went when started telling me said is this the way you go and she just told me the directions exactly how to get down here so me and Nancy felt good about her driving down here and getting to the house and everything so yeah y’all got like the y’all got a guest room set up and everything like in the downstairs part there’s like a whole separate kind of apartment area oh no she no they somebody staying down there oh really oh yeah what is this is this another ex y or what no no no no this is this is something like I I don’t want nobody El to know about CU I don’t want the government to know about it but is somebody let’s say you got a security guard you got a yeah I got a security guy you got a bouncer down there so if anybody tries to come and try to steal that weird award that would be correct right right right there mm don’t don’t come knocking unannounced I don’t know how many people that can uh email me at rather be shagen 53 aol.com and tell me that their ex-wife is coming to stay with their new wife and going to go out dancing with us I would just like to see how many people can send me in a story about that so yeah I would like to see that too I want to see I want to see somebody brag about having a better relation ship with an ex if they’re remarried you got right now y all right let us hear it and then link I I think I told you a little bit about but uh we had SOS down here right and uh what’s that stand for it’s like it’s like uh the Dance Festival yeah we had the and they got a thing called Fun Monday and we had four different bands down here and boy I had a

being the fun Ambassador you know you always directing people to something that enriches their life Stand Up and Dance watch our podcast listen to other show yep there you go it’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach mailbag well Callie sent me an email in and says what have been some of your nicknames over the years and any good stories behind them this is perfect cuz I just gave you a new one fun bassador that’s right Captain to add that fun bassador Captain okay yes this was kind of strange but really when I worked when I worked at the prison Department I had a I had a nickname called Bodacious Bo Neil that’s what the inmates called call me cuz they tell me said you know we we can’t figure this out said you ain’t scared to get in a fight with us or if we in here fighting you just get right in the middle of it so and there there ain’t many people down here that work here they they’ll do that and I said well it’s my job to break it up and that’s you know uh I think the first day I worked there uh I had an inmate to run up to to me and get right up in my face and I just I just floored him knocked him to the ground and uh okay well I said well I don’t right now probably have a job here no more and U but I had a good Lieutenant uh and that guy didn’t ever run up and get in front cuz that was kind of how my name got started bod deis Bo Neil So I have had a nickname and and I have had well hold on can I ask about the bodacious uh it just seems like when I hear the word bodacious I think of like 1990 Surfer like you’re rad and Bodacious I didn’t know that bodacious meant that you were like Scrappy bod oh yeah I would thinking you could have some scrap with Bodacious you have to okay if you’re going to scrap you got to have some Bodacious stuff with you to uh the nerve to do it and keep doing it so and I and that’s a cool name Jame uh there’s a lot of people out there that and that’s heard of James Bone Crusher Smith yeah the boxer he was the the boxer well he and I work together at the prison Department really and he has a he has a golf tournament now and every time he calls me he don’t call me Charles he said I want to speak to Bo Neil that’s what he really now he had a lot of he was like a showman right like what didn’t he come up with lots of funny sayings and stuff was that am I thinking right guy I think so yeah he wasn’t he wasn’t the one that named you was he it was the it was the no it was the inmates didn’t name me but uh Bodacious Bal you to the floor but you can believe between me and him when we was when we worked together on second shift they they stayed pretty straight while me and him was working cuz they didn’t they knew to cuz you know he’s a big guy man this was after he was uh the boxing champion no before oh okay and I got a set of hands on him about like that right there I mean oh Lord oh wow so Cali that that’s about his many of nicknames that that I’ve had over all the years and everything so [Music] Bodacious well I got another email from Jackson P okay and and it says if you and Nancy were to break up and he’s got in parentheses which I know you won’t what would be in your dating app profile oh okay yeah what what’s your what’s your grinder look like well I I’m going uh I’m probably G break Jack Jackson’s heart on this one CUA uh Jackson I ain’t got to have no Dy nap I I I mean if if something were it’s kind of like what Nancy says if she were to pass on before I I I do there’d probably be a woman over here at the house in the next week or two you try trying to run me down I said well that ain’t going to happen honey but she said oh yeah you can’t live by yourself so but but know but Jackson but but Jackson I I I really uh in all the years when I was growing up and dating and running around and all the stuff that I did I didn’t have to have no app uh I kind of just had them kind of flock to to me so I don’t need a app to get have a woman to come and want to spend time with me I’m sorry well don’t be so modest don’t you know what give yourself some credit dad come on I am oh this is you being modest okay all right let’s keep that it is about dating hey you got to you you were if you got it you were always dating somebody you you never didn’t have a girlfriend like no I had girlfriends they were I have one over there yeah oh yeah that was all different towns and all different places so maybe the other ones didn’t know about it so but yeah so I’m sorry Jackson I don’t know what I I might would get a app but it probably just have my picture on it and that but he’s being modest you know really you know he could really let you know what he thinks but he’s he’s clearly not okay well and I knew that might not go over too well but hey I’m telling the truth I’m just honest yeah I mean Nancy’s talking about hey if I died you’d have somebody in here but she kind of to put it back on you it’s like you C you you can’t live by yourself that’s exactly right yeah I don’t like being alone okay you like companionship all right you like somebody else to like Snap the snap the green beans with you oh yeah mhm yeah I get it yeah we we we get it me and her two peas in a pod I’m telling you yeah keep the analogy going I mean but looks at how everybody’s sitting down and you know at the SOS it it kind of it does remind me of when Papa and Nana like when Papa was getting up in age they would still go dancing and Nana would get tired and sit on the side and then all these other women would lie up to dance with papa for for hours yeah me and Nancy went with them a couple times it was the beatest thing I ever seen hey I ain’t saying they just be lined up they’ about getting the fight to getting lined to get to dance with papy I’m telling you it was and he loved it I mean oh I’m telling even when he got to the point where he could barely see he would he could still do a little sh he could still dance oh yeah he could he could he could still do a dance he he sure could I mean it just goes to show you you know if you if you stay active you know if you stay present and you stay in the future there’ll be a line they’ll be lining up for you one day yep do you do you do you think you’re going to outlive Nancy I mean what’s going to happen here I mean it’s come up a little bit but I mean both off us is her daddy live till he was 87 and papa 89 and MH her mama’s still living she’s like 88 now and then that’s right Nana’s still living she’s 91 so you got some longevity on both sides I might drop dead tomorrow but we got some pretty good jeans on both sides with yeah I had a good friend and I I won’t going to bring this up but I had a good friend that passed away uh two weeks ago and oh right up above where we live here Billy Harrington and uh him and Lewis were best friends they played ball together in high school and college I recogniz the name University and uh he was at Louis’s funeral well he fell down a set of stairs and in the place where we used to have and and uh it that happened on Saturday night and then nobody find him Monday morning oh no that’s so sad that’s sad it was and he was as he’s as good a friend as I ever had this guy never met a stranger me and him used to run around together years ago and I mean he he he was a good guy so you don’t never know I mean you would have thought that right you know so just when sometimes when it’s your time it’s your time yeah and in the meantime you just you live it up as much as you can keep yeah you know yep get up and keep going yeah that’s right it’s kind of like hope for the best also plan for the best you know it’s like but then but then be careful around stairs now it’s time for a word from our sponsor we got a question from Dustin Briggs is visiting Myrtle Beach for his birthday this month with his wife and kids and his asked and for dinner date suggestions oh so this is one of those still not getting paid for it still not getting paid for okay do well do your best anyway but I I I don’t mind doing this cuz we and Dustin you’re gonna probably need to find the first thing I’m going place I’m going to tell you to go to is called the Sea Captain’s House OH another Captain this place is this this PL it’s just it’s a old house this place has been there like I think about 58 or 60 years and uh been a restaurant there that long but it sits right on the ocean and so you’re probably going to need to find a babysitter you can take your kids with if you want to but for you and your wife to have a nice romantic evening evening and to come out you need to take her down the Myrtle Beach to the Sea Captain’s House cuz man you talk about the atmosphere you you sit right down make your reservation and you make it to where they sit you right where you can see the ocean coming in and the waves coming in and it’s got a beautiful view and y’all can have a nice romantic dinner and just have a good time uh for your birthday and doing all that and then when that’s over with then you can just get back in your car okay yeah and go M and go back well and get back in your car and then you can go back and pick the kids up no and take them and take them to Broadway at the beach where all the places or you can take them downtown to Myrtle Beach and ride that big ferris wheel down there and boy I broke your heart didn’t the link I’m telling just well you you left out the good par just before you pick up the kids I mean depending on how big the rental car is just you know just do do do what do what comes naturally son and if you want to you can just leave him with the babysitter and you and your wife go to Broadway at the Beach okay and finish and finish having a wonderful evening so but you might be the kind of guy that want to uh include your children in your birthday too but you might be the kind of guy kind kind of like me that just wants to have your wife all to yourself and keep having a good time with her that night can Dustin bring his ex-wife as well um yeah he could bring her if he wanted to but I don’t think Dustin don’t say he I don’t think Dustin probably he probably ain’t been married but one time so he worry about that okay yeah all right all right Dustin you’ve only Mar once you heard it here well wa we’re going we’re going to do a don’t tell Nana Oh no thing now okay I promise I won’t tell her don’t tell Nana I was probably about 20 21 and I was I was dating another girl up in Raleigh okay and I went and picked her up and Carri her to the Aerosmith concert Aerosmith I’m telling you okay so what year what year was this if you were 21 uh that’ be like 72 197 this is early Aerosmith this is like dream on era oh yeah yeah okay pre- loving an elevator all kinds of stuff that that that’s what’s interesting about this AR Miss A Smith concert you know and when I was growing up back then you know you you could you could find a little place where you might could get a little joint and smoke a little marijuana and drink a cold beer and do some stuff and everything but you know when you went to this airosmith concert you didn’t have to worry about having none of that stuff cuz all carot with you nothing cuz all you had to do was all them people that was lined up you just getting that little line whether or not you wanted to take a to or do anything like that just just do like this and just take a deep breath okay yeah yeah okay and and me and this girl was me and uh she kind of liked that stuff so uh when they passed and well listen we didn’t know these people from Adam but hey they let us join right in and we had a we had a big time at the A Smith concert and then how big when big okay uh we just just had a good time okay and everything so so by the time we left and I I probably had several beers and everything so we had to go to the car and I said and it takes a long time to get out up at Raleigh where the concert’s at trying to thinking what what it used to be called up there but uh anyway there I mean thousands of people there yeah so we did we just sat in the car and kind of talked and went on about our business and done and things and then when it got spread it out and I thought I was able to spread it out what are you talking about when what got spread it out not not no we didn’t get nothing like that spread it out we would just you know just talking about stuff and stuff going on you’re the one who said it I just just ask you to clarify I don’t know so when time I think you were saying when time passed yeah okay when time spread out when that’s right when time spread out so we yeah thank you yeah hear well you can’t get me in trouble for something when I was 21 anyway so I had enough trouble we’re not going to tell Nana no so I I carried this girl home and this was about time we got home was about 2:00 and we talked a little bit and and I said well I got a long way to go and I’m won’t trying to be too forward thought maybe I might come back see her again which I never did but okay so um I went I went and got in the car and and was leaving oh God and that was when I had a a 66 chevy2 Super Sport and Ernie bird had a brand new 1972 Monte Carlo and when I let got ready to leave that night he said I want to drive your car and I said all right you going to let me drive yours was there or you you met up with him no he we kind of we lived at the same house outside of L okay you got back home and then you wanted to swap cars so we switched cars and I went up there and picked her up and did all that so about 2:00 in the morning I was coming back down 4:21 in his car four in his car on in four in 401 on the highway and all of a sudden there was a blue light behind me this ain’t good and uh so the police officer come up there the highway patrol officer come up there and Shine the Light down in the car and asked for my driving license and I had to reach over there and I said this ain’t my car I reached over there to get the registration out and he jerked the door open and jerked me out of the car oh wow and and laid me down on the ground and I didn’t know but this was when Ernie was a secret service agent and his pistol slid out from under the seat and was laying in the floorboard of the car what and when he sh when he shined a light down there he saw a pistol and and just like I mean I’d have done the same thing and he jerked me he said why don’t you tell me it was a good gun in the car and I said hell I didn’t know there was a gun in the car I said this ain’t my car done told you that so he they got him and there was another another police officer highway patrolman had already got there so they were both standing over me oh wow with me laying prawn on the ground oh wow and then they kind of looked at my driving license and this is when Papa worked for the sheriff’s department before he was the chief of police in lington and they asked me said uh is Lincoln Neil your daddy I said uh yes sir hey and that’s when they kind of let up and he said okay you can sit up you can’t get up but you can sit up so they let me sit up and lean up against the car so I said well what are they going to do now so L they took the gun took my driving license all that stuff and went back to the car and checked all that stuff out so they come back to the car and they said well we’re going to let you go and but we’re not going to give you that pistol back and I said whoa whoa whoa whoa wait a minute it ain’t mine and it’s a secret service agent’s pistol I said and if I don’t carry this pistol back with me when I get back to where we live at I’ll either have to kill Ernie bird or he’ll probably want to kill me I said it it’ll be that bad that I I had his pistol consecrated yeah and so they said well we ain’t giving you the pistol back so I said well ain’t no need to I had enough sense not ain’t no needing me arguing with a highway patrolman so I got in the car and was going on down the road and right before I got out of Wake County going into haret County going home the blue light come on again again and they pulled again and the highway patrolman pulled up there and he walked up to the car and knocked on the window and he said I roll the window down he said uh if you going to borrow somebody’s car I would make sure to find try to find out if they had a pistol and I said man you ain’t got to worry about that now if I borrow this car again I’m gonna find out what what all’s in it I’m GNA open the trunk up and make sure there ain’t something else in there something up and he said here’s the pistol everything you told us was the truth we set it back and he said and that highway patrolman said my sergeant that was over us that night told me says I don’t care what you do before you get off of work tonight you find that boy that was driving that car and give him that pistol back cuz we don’t want nothing to do with it that’s what we we don’t even want to know we seen that pistol it’s good to have friends in the right place so it ended up turning out pretty good but it was a it was a hell of a night to start with and a hell of a night at the end getting stop yeah but you were back in the saddle again I’m telling you AOS reference in there but Dad this is the reason why you kept raising so much hell cuz you’d always find a way to weasel out of it I yeah well I
