This is “Dispatches from Myrtle Beach” with Charles Neal and my son Link from Good Mythical Morning. How you doing Link? I’m doing good. You know, I was gonna say pretty good, but I just gotta say straight up. Good. I’m doing good. How about you? I’m doing really, you know, with everything that’s been going on, and like we talked a couple of weeks ago, don’t have a update yet, but besides getting off that cruise and having Covid, boy, it feels good to be back to normal, I’m telling you. Yeah. And, be able to not be sick and working, you know, it just feels good to, to feel good. I’m telling you. It sure does. Because it knocked you out pretty good for a few days, right? About six days. But, and then Nancy never got it. Nancy didn’t get it, so,. Okay. She was able to look after me because she had it in December and I looked after her, so. Okay. Are you a good patient? I ain’t going- What? About 75% of the time. So what is the 25%? Okay, it’s not the majority, but when you’re at your worst, what is it like? When you don’t feel good and, you know, they get to ask some questions about this and about that, and I said, “I need to be left alone.” And that’s how you said it. I bet. And she did. Yes, and then I had to look after myself the other- Right? That’s right. Yeah. So, but it is what it is. Myrtle Beast, I’ve got something to tell y’all. Well, all you Myrtle Beast out there, it looks like that we’re going to go back and be on once a week from now. And tell ’em what went into this dad? Well, You decided that, that you didn’t have enough of me in your life and it was a mistake for you to decide to cut the podcast in every other week, and you changed your mind. Oh, you going to lay that all on me? I like that. Yeah. Yeah. No, I am so glad that my son is trying to help me be a little more famous and he’s the one, not me. I didn’t come up with this. My son come up with it. We going to start doing back once a week. They’re not going to be 30 or 45 minutes. We’re going to do some like 20 minute shows, but we’ll have one every week, probably kind of maybe starting in March or something, Because that’s a better, well, yeah, I mean this is the beginning of March, so like, starting right now basically is what we’re saying. With this episode we’re going back to every week because I mean, for my perspective, we look at the data, we’ve looked at how people listen, and it’s tough when you don’t have the rhythm of every single week with a podcast that you like. And even with the many dispatches, it’s not the same. So it’s, you know, we really haven’t been giving people that rhythm. So, Myrtle Beast, we want to give you that weekly rhythm, and I just think it’s better to give you that, even if the episodes are a little bit shorter than to give you every other week. And then you might just, it’s harder to make it a part of your weekly routine and to like form a listening habit. So when you, and that’s really how podcasts work, you just kind of get in this rhythm. So. Yeah, I enjoy this and I wanna make it happen and I want people to get attached to it. And, so I just pitched the idea, I would be open to it if you are. And your response was- I’m ready to go. Yeah. Tickle me to death. Yeah. You didn’t even hesitate. It made me very happy. Oh, yep. So dear Myrtle beast, I hope it makes you happy too, to know that we’re going to be coming back into your ears every single week. Glad to do it. Yeah. So I’m tickled to death. All right. Yeah, yeah. I’ve got to where I, this is just like what else I’ve been doing. It’s almost like I’ve been doing this all my life now. Oh. I mean, and, you know, it is getting to where I- You’re a natural, you’re a natural. People might, hey, people might pull the plug on us, but until they do, I enjoy me and you getting together and talking and having people send us in questions and see if we need to help ’em or- Distract ’em at least. Speak some southern slang to ’em or something. It’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach Mailbag. We got a really interesting email from Chelsea, Sharon. Okay. And when I read this, I thought, darn, I don’t know about this, but Chelsea sent us a email and Link, it says, “What smells remind you of your parents? For instance, my dad is a mechanic, so the smell of oil and gasoline reminds me of him. And a couple of my mom’s favorite things were salt water taffy and going to the river. So the Center of Taffy and Sun tan lotion reminded me of her. Oh. And so Chelsea, I had to think about this a little bit because I’m older than you are, and I’m older than Link is. And I don’t know if he’s- For a dad to be younger than the son would be a little odd. I got to thinking after I read your question, and I know y’all know about perfume and all this stuff, but when back in the fifties and the early sixties when my dad would shave and he’d put this after shave, I can’t, I’m trying to remember the name of it, the bottle, Link. It was in a green bottle. I think he used it. I think he still used the same type, whatever he used, I do remember that smell. How would you describe it? Well, it was kind of, it was a mini clean kind of smell. Mini, like small and clean. Not a maxi clean, a mini clean. Well, it was gelatanol, I mean, you know, when you shave, back then they put it on, it had some alcohol in it, so. It tingled and burned a little bit and stuff. But I don’t even know, if I can really explain what it smells like, but I can almost steal as a boy when my daddy would shave when he’d come walking out to go to breakfast before I went to school. I remember that from being a boy. It was very strong. Yeah. Yeah. And then of course, another thing I written something that I got from him was, every time that I barbecue and cook outside, I remember my daddy cooking chickens on the grill or hamburgers or whatever it was. All that. And I reckon, it instilled in me, you know, that’s a pretty good thing to do for your kids and your children and other people and everything else so. I definitely remember those scents too, because it’s like they get stored in a different place. When I went back and visited like my elementary school, I was like, “God, I remember the smell of this place.” Like when I walked back through it as an adult, like decades later. And if I smelled something like it, it transport you right back there. And I think for you, you kind of jogged my memory, everything you said about papa, I definitely, it like, it evokes those scents and memories for me too. For you, I would say the specific scent of your barbecue sauce is just signature. That secret sauce that you make. You know, whether you’re flying out here and you’re making it in our kitchen so that we can have a whole bunch of it. By the way, we need to do that again. We need some more of this stuff. Every single time, it’s like, ’cause it’s got that vinegar in it, like hits a certain, woo, it gets up in your nose. Oh. And it’s got its own tingle to it. I think that will always be with me. And even if it’s just like a vinegar smell, like any vinegar type barbecue sauce, even if it’s not yours, it like sends me back to yours. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. As kind of like from a memory standpoint. So I think that’s it. And my mom would always wear, now I know y’all know what perfume is, and she wore Beautiful, Beautiful. I remember as a kid, it was like, every Christmas I’d be like, “Well, I would get my mom a bottle of Beautiful.” Like, that’s what I would do. She could count on it every year. I guess it took a year to use it or maybe she ran out. I don’t know. But yeah, that’s my mom’s scent. So like, barbecue sauce and Beautiful. And you know, on more than one occasion, Rhett and I have talked about making a barbecue sauce cologne, like combining the two. Maybe it needs to be an aftershave that could work like a barbecue sauce, aftershave, you got that same, maybe the vinegar does the same thing, similar thing as alcohol. I don’t know. Yeah. What do you think, dad? You want to go in on that business? We might have to. I might be up for that. Yeah, we might. Don’t get more manly than that. Make your face smell like pig. You know, make her hungry for your face with That’s kind of- Pig face. That’s kind of funny Link. I just thought about years ago when I was running around, This girl, I had a friend that was a mechanic and we’d go off and go to a dance or something and JC, all he’d do was put a fresh pair of new shirt on and another pair of pants on and we’d get in the car and go to these dances. And he was dancing with a girl one night and she said, “Man, what is that cologne you got on? I just love it.” And he said, “That’s odor of gasoline.” Hey some girls like that fuel smell, you know, and get some lit. Don’t let a match around him. I ain’t gonna leave mom out. Don’t leave Nana out. They ain’t gonna leave Nana out. And you know, my thing with Nana was, she can’t do it quite as well anymore. But she used to make some of the, and she still does a little bit for the kids, for your kids and sends them to ’em. But she used to make the best pan cake and the aroma of that in the house. Or either make them egg custards and come in and smell them things cooking. Ooh, baby. Yep. Never forget it. I mean that’s, and probably the other thing is just mama always liked flowers or gardening. Still does. But you know, even when I do gardening and the stuff blooms and stuff, and I see it blooming, it, it makes me remember, I think about Nana. Why do you want to learn a new language?

You do wanna learn something? Oh yeah. Well I. Because I got something for you, I got something, I wanna teach you. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. All you Myrtle Beast out there. Here we go again. Alright, a few episodes back, we got talking about, when I was telling about New Zealand, I was talking about like the hip-hop that I listen to and the hip-hop that Lincoln listens to. And, you know, I was trying to school you on Lil Uzi Vert, a little bit, which got me thinking, you know, one of the things that rap artists do are ad-libs. You know what I’m talking about? Oh yeah. I guess, yeah, just go on about something and just ever what comes off the top of the head, they just, that’s how it comes out. Well, that’s part of it. But in hip-hop, it’s a little more specific than that. It’s specific to a certain artist will have certain ad-libs and so they’ve done their rap and then they do the ad-libs. So can you make sense of that? Say that again. They record their rap and then they go back and record their ad-libs. Okay. So what does that mean to you, the ad-libs are? Well, it sounds like these little things that we do for the podcast that I record and they come out, that sounds like some of those things. I don’t think you’re barking up the right tree here. It’s when- Okay. It’s kind of like a little exclamation point. or a little, like, it could be sound effects, it could be, they add in a word. So if they’ve rapped something and then there’s like a gap, they’ll fill that gap with a, like a catch phrase or a sound effect or something that just kind of like adds more lyrics. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Well, it makes sense to me. ‘Cause I know with Logan working with me sometimes, she has to take some things out and put some things in and I have to redo ’em because, I don’t say ’em exactly right. All right, that’s kind of close. That’s kind of close. Yeah. So what I want to do is I’m gonna give you the name of a hip-hop artist, and then I want you to tell me their ad-lib. I want you to perform it. Alright? Okay. All right. I’m gonna start off with a easy one. Travis Scott. Hmm. It’s lit. That’s what he says. It’s lit? It’s more enthusiastic than that. It’s lit to see if you can help me out with this rap so I can make things do better. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can’t ad-lib on an ad-lib, dad. Just stick to the script. It’s lit. That’s it. Don’t say anything else. All right? We don’t want him coming for us. It’s lit. Okay. Come on now, he’s gonna hack up a lung trying to do this. It lit! That’s close. Even higher. It’s lit! I think that’s it. That’s it. That’s it. Alright. 21 Savage. Are you familiar? Absolutely not. Alright. His ad-lib is 21. 21? It’s faster and lower. 21. It’s faster than that. Like twice as fast but not that low. 21. It’s more rhythmic than that. It’s kind of a whisper. It’s kind of a whisper. Like this. 21. And sometimes he’ll say multiple 21s together. He’ll say like three 21s in a row. Okay. 21, 21, 21. But three times that fast. 21, 21 21. There you go. And other times, I’m sorry, but this is what he will say. He just says it, I don’t know why. Okay, okay. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, let’s move on. Alright. You want to go to Griselda? Yeah. Good. I mean. Alright. One of my favorite ad-libs, West Side Gun. West side gun. Boom, boom, boom. West Side Gum. Nope, that’s his name. Gun, not gum. And that’s his name. The ad-lib is, boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh, okay. I’m sorry. Yeah, it’s okay. Boom, boom, boom, boom. It’s more ecstatic. Like I would say the first boom is here, boom, boom, boom, boom. Like it kind of first two are the same. The third one goes up a little bit and the fourth one is like real big. It’s like he’s imitating- Okay. A gun. Boom, boom, boom, boom. All right, now faster and more rhythmic, faster. And then even more ecstatic. Boom, boom, boom, boom! That’s close. Boom, boom, boom, boom! Like that. Okay. Alright. Boom, boom, boom, boom! That’s it. Boom, boom, boom, boom! Okay, sit there, do it again. Boom, boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom, boom! Yes. And what about, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Oh, Billy Stewart. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Chuck, chuck, chuck! No. No, chuck, chuck, chuck. Just- Oh yeah, Billy Stewart does that. It’s like a machine gun. Okay. Brrrrrrrrr! I am gonna kill him This is gonna kill him. It’s lower register. It’s not, brr. It’s, brrrrrrrrr! Like do a lower one. Okay. Brrrrrrrr! Okay. That’ll work. Conway, the Machine. Are you familiar? No. Talk to him! Talk to him! Yeah, that’s it. That’s it. Alright. One of my favorites. Benny, the butcher. Benny, the butcher. The Butcher’s coming! The Butcher’s coming! Even hit butcher. Even more like the Butcher’s coming! The Butcher’s coming. And don’t put an R on butcher. It’s like, the Butcha’s coming! The Butcha’s coming. Yeah. There it is. Megan Thee Stallion. Megan Thee Stallion. You know her? No. Yeah. Okay. You should. Okay. You gotta stick out your tongue for this one. Kinda like this, like a cat. Stick out your tongue like a cat and say A-H-H-H. Stick your tongue out, all the way to where it like, touches your chin. As far as you can, put it flat against. There you go. Put it flat against your chin. There you go. And make it wide. Make your tongue wide. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just say, say, A-H-H-H. A-H-H-H. No, say, “Ah!” Ah. With your tongue out. Stick your tongue out. Ah! A-H-H-H. Don’t say, A, I’m sorry. I was spelling, “Ahhh,” so. Oh. Just stick your tongue out and say. Don’t say, “Ahhh.” Say, “Ehhh”. Okay. “Ahhh.” “Ehhh.” “Ahhh!” No, “Ehhh!” “Ehhh!” “Ehhh!” “Ehhh!” “Ehhh!” “Ehhh!” Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Larry June. A, a, a, a, a. Gimme one of those. A, A, A, A, A, A. A, A, A, A, A, A. Do it again.

There it is. Good job, Larry. DJ Khaled. We the best. He’s really exuberant. He’s really loud. He’s celebrating. He’s just won a zillion dollars, kind of a thing. He’s about to go golfing. He and he just exclaims for the world to hear. We the best. We the best. Okay. And you could try it by adding the word, “music.” We the best music. We the best music! That’s good. Dad, I’m so proud of you. Let’s just do a couple more, if you’re game, are you up for it? I’m alright. I mean, I just stuck my tongue at one. Alright, see here we go. Gucci Mane. Gucci Mane. He says, Gucci Mane! No, I’m sorry. That’s his name. I was just telling you his name. Gucci Mane. His ad-lib is, “Well, damn.” And he says it like, oh, you’ve taught, I’ve just learned something. I can’t believe you said that. Well, damn! Raise your eyebrows and put your chin against you. Put your chin back and like, look side eye. And then say it like that. Well, damn! Well, damn! Well, damn! Yeah, well, damn! Well, damn! All right, that’s it. And finally one of the greatest of all times. One of the best to ever do it. Lil John always says, “Yeah!” And do your mouth like this. Make your mouth real big. Show all your teeth, even your molars and say, “Yeah.” And like, just scream it like- “Yeah!” I didn’t even know how to coach him on that one. One more of those. “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” “Yeah!” All right. And now if you, Charles Neal, from Dispatches from Myrtle Beach had an ad-lib, what would it be? That would be correct. That’s it, man. You need to start rapping ’cause that is a good ad-lib. Or if you’re willing to talk to all the rappers who are listening and say they could use your ad-lib, if they wanted to. So all you rappers can use my ad-lib for this. That would be correct. There you go. Just isolate that. Throw it on your track. Guaranteed banger. Ooh, you learned a lot today, dad. I’m telling you. You feel good about the segment? “Yeah!” I feel good about it. Alright. Alright. Oh man. Well, well, you know- We gotta put that on TikTok. Well, I reckon, you know, I’ve always said I ain’t never too old to learn something, but I learned something today, so I’m gonna have to get a little more into this hip-hop.
