And, uh, I’m trying to figure out, uh, I’m looking at myself and you’re wearing me. Yeah, that’s right. You don’t remember this shirt? One, two, three, four, five, six, there’s at least There’s at least 20 of you on this shirt. Okay. You don’t remember this shirt? Didn’t we wear this? Yeah. About a year ago, actually. About a year ago. I just found it hanging in the closet. I was like You should also have one in your closet. Yeah, you should have one, Dad. I actually have, I think I still have, I have the one, I have the one that has my face all over it here. I need to give that one to you because I saw that one. I was like, Oh, here’s a, this has my face all over it. I’m like, well, I’m not going to wear that. And then I saw yours. I was like, Oh yeah, this is mine. Mine has your face on it. I’d get yours too. Okay. Now I do remember, but the reason I didn’t remember cause I didn’t ever get my shirt with your face on it. Yeah, that’s right. You got to come back out here. We would do it, do some of these in person again next time you come out. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think we’re trying to do that, but I don’t know how that’s working out. Oh, all right. Well, we’ll work it. We’ll work something out. I’m sure. How about you? How are you doing? Well, I’ve been pretty good. Um. It’s nice to be getting back and seeing you like once a week and that’s me and you talking and your toe getting better. Yeah. My toes. Well, okay. Good. It’s, it’s good. You don’t have to worry about it anymore. No, no, no need to worry about it anyway. So speaking of well, uh, we, we, we should give an update on Nana. Nana is, uh, doing very well, waiting to go back. to the doctor that did the surgery in August the 23rd, where he’ll kind of just turn her loose. But she stayed in rehab for 21 days. And I don’t know, and she was doing like she needed to. She could get up and walk. enough to get, get out of the bed by herself and, uh, go to the, to the bathroom by herself with walking with the walker and some different stuff. But Link, and I think he talked to my sister. So I, I don’t know if those people, uh, Got mine and my mama and your nana out of there in 21 days because she was doing what she was supposed to. Oh, them people was scared to death of you, my sister and your Aunt Tessie cause She was, she was giving them people hell cause they weren’t doing what they was supposed to. And getting, and getting, Giving her the right medications and was supposed to. And when her 21 days was up, they sent her on down the road. I don’t, you know. Of course, in mama’s home, it, At Tracy’s house, and I talked to her, yeah, I talked to her about it every day. But, uh, she was doing good, and Tracy said she was doing good, so, uh, you know, uh, for a, for a 92 year old that had that hip surgery done again, and, uh, And go to rehab and stay there three weeks and kind of going back home to Trace’s she’s getting to where she might in the near future, get to go back home to her house. So she’s doing really good. So you heard from Nana, the conversation that I had with her before she went into surgery. Yes, Simon. Yeah, she told, yeah, she told me when, you know, before she went into Houston, Well, I sure hope you make it through the surgery, Nana, so I don’t have to come back from Hawaii. Yeah, I said, and she said, well, I don’t, if something happens to me, I don’t want you to come back. I was like, Nana, I’m just joking with you. You know that I will be there, and I’m just trying to use this to, to give you even more motivation to, to fight your way through this surgery and do what it takes to, To get better. I don’t think she needed that motivation. I don’t know if, I think she took it as a joke, but I was like, don’t make, don’t you make me, don’t you make me leave my vacation on the counter. You croaking having it. Yeah. Yeah. You having hips because you failed that. Yeah. Yeah. But listen, that’s all on you. I ain’t got nothing to do with it. It it, it was a joke, but it was a risky joke. Right. Yes, it was. Yeah, yeah. I think it was risky enough that I called you on it, so. But it worked. She’s doing good. It worked, yeah. See? Something worked anyway. Yeah, yeah. It worked. My joke, my joke worked. Between your work and the good Lord looking after her and the doctor taking care of her, it all worked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we don’t have to rank. Like what had the biggest effect of those three things. They all, they all did. Yeah. Well, I didn’t have, I’m not taking any responsibility on how well she did, uh, so I’ll just leave it at that. Okay. All right. That’s fair. But you know what, Logan? Uh. Yeah. We’re talking about, um. Our nana, my mama, and I, I’m a, uh, I think we got to give a special holler out to Logan’s meemaw. Okay, so of course Logan is our, is our producer here at Dispatches, she’s in the room with me. Right. But um, I think she’s on the phone with you all the time. That’s true. So what is the deal? You, you, you need to do what? It kind of, it kind of, and how’s your Meemaw, Logan? She just turned 83 yesterday. Okay, well, she, she’s an avid fan of my podcast. Okay, yes, yes, it’s yours. And listens to it and all of it, but she, I think this is the way it is working. Logan, you can tell me not, but she called Logan on the phone one day and told us that me and you was getting a little risque. Oh, Uh huh. And, so, Logan’s Memaw, I’m giving you a holler out today and telling you, well, I’m sorry on some of the things that me and Link get into on the show, but you know, I got to thinking about this and it must not have been bad enough that you quit watching, so, we’re gonna try to keep doing, doing. You know, probably like we’ve been doing cause, um, I’m kinda like you, uh, Meemaw, uh, I’m too old to change. And, you know, whatever, a lot of, most of the time, whatever goes through my head comes out my mouth. And there’s a lot of people that can tell you that, including my wife, Nancy, and you too, Meemaw. So, but I’m sorry, but we’ll try not to be too risky, but we, we just having fun. I don’t even know what she’s talking about. Let me give some a little bit of background. Oh, well, there’s something specific. Please do she texted me A little while back and she uses talk to text. So it’s kind of like one giant run on sentence Okay, it says I just thought you might be interested in that last night when I couldn’t sleep at all at 3 a. m I told echo amazon to turn on the dispatches for myrtle beach with those two fellas So that was so that was pretty amusing, I guess I’m I listened to maybe two episodes. Anyway, I want to I want you to know that I’m, I am sort of with it. Okay. Take care by now. . Okay. And, and then she called me and then she said, now they mentioned a Logan. That’s not you, is it? And I was like, yes, . That was me. And then she like fell out of her chair, . Oh my God. She said, I’m gonna keep listening. So then I get a call from my mom and we were talking, and then she was like, no, Memaw is just. Not, kind of upset about how raunchy it gets. It’s like, whoa. So then I told, then she meant, my Meemaw mentioned it to me and then I was like, well, it’s not me. And then, which is not fully true because I am involved. You’re involved. Uh, and But yeah, you can, you can throw dad under the bus too. I, and I, I liked the fact that dad, he just kind of took it all. He didn’t put it on me. I thought, I thought you were going to say dad that like, it was, it was me driving the raunchy train. Oh, no. You know, you, you, you keep telling me this is my podcast. So I mean, if Logan’s Meemaw calls in, I’m taking full responsibility for that. Yep. So she, uh, but we’re just being honest. I mean, we’re just being, we’re just being real. And we’re, but we’re also being silly and we, yeah, it gets, you know, we’re human. And Memaw needs to get a little raunchy is what I think. Some of the questions that people send in to us, uh, I can’t help what they send in. But I just wanted to say that I’m sorry, Memaw. Love you. Memaw doesn’t become a Memaw unless there’s a little bit of risqué things happening. That’s, that’s true. I think that’s pretty neat that she woke up, was awake, woke up and couldn’t sleep at three o’clock in the morning and told to, what was it? The echo. Told to look, echo and look up them two guys on that podcast. All right, Meemaw. Yeah, keep, keep listening. We’ll, we will, we will not. We won’t say anything else raunchy or risque, we promise. Or you can call us on it and send it. Or you can call us on Logan again. Yeah, you can just keep calling me. Mm-Hmm? . Mm-Hmm, . I’ll just keep saying I’m sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Won’t be the, won’t be the first time I had to apologize for some, something I’ve done the second time. Right. Right. New GMM and Mythical tumblers are available now at mythical. com.

Today is time for another edition of Myrtle Beach Mailbag. Link, we got a email from Alice and says, I’m Alice from Northern Italy and I’ve been following Dispatches from the very first episode. Wow. Thank you, Alice. I finally got to meet Rhett and Link during the Good Mythical Tour in Raleigh. At the end of the show when we were applauding, I apparently clapped my hands so hard I literally popped a vessel in my left ring finger. It went blue and it got swollen for a while, but fortunately it didn’t hurt too bad and a few days later, it was all healed, all healed. Wow. I didn’t know you could clap your finger to, to that degree. She, she was, she was having a good time with everything that was going on. And she said, however, This prompted me to ask the question, what is the weirdest or funniest injury you and Link ever got? Well, have we ever both had the same injury at the same time? I don’t, I don’t think, I don’t think it can be that serendipitous. No. All right. You go first. What’s the weirdest injury or funniest injury you’ve ever gotten? Well, Alice, when, uh, I remodeled a hundred and some year old house. Back from like 2000, from really 1999 till like 2003 before we moved in. And I tore the roof off of it and was sheeting the roof and I was doing all this by myself. And I was crawling down the roof and had the nail gun, was nailing and holding something. And I looked at my hand and this finger right here, it is still kind of bent a little bit. It was laid all the way down, just like that. Okay. And it would not come back up. It was just like that. It was touching the center of the palm of your hand. Palm of my hand. And these other fingers are sticking just straight up as they could be. I mean, and I looked and I said, man, ain’t that a heck of a thing. I mean, and it, it didn’t hurt. And no, I didn’t feel nothing pop, hurt or nothing. I was working on that roof. I did a little more stuff than I said. Well, I can’t do what I’m doing, so I just crawled down, went and got me some duct tape, and taped it around these three fingers here, and taped it up straight, and just left it like that, and finished working, and then I said, there ain’t no need for me to go to the doctor. It’s kind of the weirdest. I’ve had some injuries, but about the weirdest injury I ever had. So I left it like that, and then I’d take it loose, and it would still fall back down. So I finally, I went to the doctor, and they said, Well, it’ll probably straighten back out. So I spent all that money, and he wanted me to put a splint on it. And I said, I don’t need no splint. I didn’t tape this thing to muzzle three fingers. I just tape it up and leave it like that. I don’t need a splint. So that’s what I did, Alice. And after about, this going on for about a month, it finally kind of, except for right at the top of it, it straightened right back out. Hold it up. Hold it up. So, I guess that you didn’t tape it, you didn’t tape the, the fingertip. I really didn’t. Is that what happened? You should have, maybe you should have used a splint. I don’t know. That might, maybe that would have done better. Uh, I thought you were going to tell me that you nailed your finger to the palm of your hand, but you didn’t do that. What was their explanation? That the tendon spasmed or something? Pulled that tendon. I, and I asked him, I said, well, did it come out of socket and just go back in or something? Now, I didn’t ever get a good answer about all that. And it never hurt. Never hurt. That’s weird. Mm-Hmm. . I think the weirdest injury I ever had was, um, I was, um, I was trimming, uh, I was trimming some hairs in my, my nether region and uh, I got just, and I was using clippers and I got distracted by something or I had to do something, had to, had to move and. Uh, as I was moving to like shut a door or something, I think I swung the clippers on this, on this, uh, something else that was swinging that was attached to me. Is this scissors clippers or? Like bzzz, like a, that could buzz, give you like a, buzz your hair with a military cut. Okay. Plugged it in a wall type of thing. And it was, I was gesturing with it or moving my hand and I went, I nicked the, the end of my member. You trying to re circumcise yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Double circumcision type situation. And that was blood. Oh, I bet. Yeah. It was, it wasn’t, it was just a nick, but it did scare me. And I think that, uh, I don’t know. I need to, I need to, I need to give it a look. It’s been over a year now. It’s I, I think there might be a, there might be a notch taken out. But there’s been a year and you ain’t even looked since then to see if something’s missing. Well, yeah, I mean, I haven’t missed a beat. I’m just going to tell you. I, I went to the doctor. He said, well, we need to put a splint on. I said, no, I’ll just tape it to my thigh. I should wrap. Yeah. That’s a scary, you know, that’s, that’s the place you don’t want to be swinging clippers. I learned my lesson after that. I got real careful after that. That’s my weird injury, Alice. Sorry. But meanwhile, she needed to know she needed to hear it and people need to know. It’s like, you got to be careful, you know, if you, if you’re doing, if you’re trimming your hedges and then somebody, somebody calls you, or you got to make a run to do something, turn off the, turn off the weed whacker before you start getting into motion, you’d never cut the end of your wiener, dad. Have I ever cut my wiener? Yeah. Um, no. Yeah, I’ve only done it once. Well, this don’t have no, Alice’s don’t have anything to do with something me and, uh, Link did, but about three weeks ago, Nancy was, had gypsy and she was clipping the hair around her mouth and getting all, and Link knows gypsy don’t have no teeth. Right. And she keeps her tongue hung out to the side like that all the time. Oh no, she could, okay. And she, and she was, and she, all of a sudden she clipped and, and she clipped right the edge of Gypsy’s tongue, right over there. And Nancy don’t do good with blood. And you know, when you cut your tongue, it bleeds, whether it’s a human, a dog, or whatever. And I went, I went running in there. And Nancy was leaning over the washing machine in the washroom, and I thought she, I said, well, who am I going to help first and try to get Gypsy or try to keep Nancy from passing out? Right? And, uh, but she healed up and it got, because your tongue’s the fastest healing thing in your body. I’ve heard that it took several days for it to heal up, but, uh, she said. I won’t be doing this anymore. We’ll be taking care of Gypsy to the groomer the whole time. Yeah, take you to the groomer. I don’t know if there’s a groomer for the type of grooming I was doing though, so. Well, maybe, you know, if you need something groomed like that, maybe you ought to have Christy do it. Okay, yeah, that’s a good point. Like, like Nancy, When you told me to use the blow dryer and blow dry instead of me doing it, I had Nancy do it to me. Yeah, we can do that. We can do that. Might be a lot safer and everything. And, and more fun. Oh, yeah, I’m telling. All right. Yeah, I’ll think about it. I’ll think about that, Dad. Well, Link, we got another email, and it’s from Rowan. Okay. And he said, he wanted, he asked me a question, he said, what was your, what was both your favorite musics growing up, and did you have a favorite artist? I know mine was, and it still is The Beatles. I said, well, Ruin me and you don’t have anything in common because I was growing up when the Beatles, I don’t know how old you are ruined, but I never did like the Beatles. So, but that’s fine. Everybody likes. It’s not fine. It’s not fine. Dad. How could you not like the Beatles? Well, I just didn’t like them back then. I like them a little bit more now than some of the music that I’ve listened to they did, but just didn’t. You think they were just for swooning teenage girls? Is that what you thought? Yeah. I could understand that. I mean, when, and that, that’s kind of what I was thinking. I was at that age trying to swoon teenage girls maybe. Okay, you were jealous. I get it. That might have been what it was. Who was your artist back then, like high school? Probably my two favorite artists, and I talked about this a little bit, was uh, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and Junior Walker and the All Stars. That was probably why, because the Beatles music and Motown music was just too totally I don’t know who Junior Walker and the All Stars are. Oh man. What do they sing? Um, he had a, he played the, uh, saxophone and man, could he play the saxophone? And then people found out that he could sing too. So they signed him besides him going around, just paying the saxophone for people, and he had a song called shotgun. What, what’s this going at? What, what does it take? Yeah, what, what does it take? And Roadrunner was his three big, biggest song. Okay. So that’s like shotgun. Yep. That one? That one. Okay. All right. Junior Walker. Okay. Yeah. Well, you know who, who mine was, I mean, in high school, that’s when I Haggard fix and just got obsessed with Like Rhett and I both and we would just listen to him all the time. And once you discovered, we would go out, we would go to the, the tape store and we would just like, or Sky City or Walmart or wherever you’d get tapes. And we would like, just look for tapes that we hadn’t found yet. And there was so much to discover. So, um, you know, And, uh, I think it’s well founded, maybe, maybe the greatest country music entertainer of all time. Definitely, definitely one, definitely in the top five. So I stand by it. But yeah, it was, it was a bit of an interesting fixation. It wasn’t like there was anybody else who was into him or like talking, talking us into it. Oh yeah, I always do. Uh, I like Merle Haggard too, but I mean, you know, that was country and this was more Motown kind of music we listened to in the, from 1960s, when I was 65 to 1970, right along in there. So, but Link, I was, I was riding down the road today. Coming home from work. Gonna get ready to, uh, do a, get ready for the podcast and stuff today. In 94. 9 had a song, they said we’re gonna play a song and it’s a song with uh, Blake Shelton and Post Malone. Yeah. Yeah, I’ve heard it. You were surprised. And they got it playing and they’re playing it in all the beach music places and people are dancing to it, just like , the song that we danced to with Keith Urban. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want me to put in a good word for for you? What’s the name of, what’s the name of that song? Pour Me a Drink. Pour me a drink. Yeah. You like that song? Oh, I like it. Okay. Yeah. You relate to that? I thought that was kind of, because I think you were kind of friends with Post Malone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, uh, know one another, and I, but I thought that was kind of ironic, so. I got, you know, I, you know, I, all kind of stuff, kind of like you, you and Red have all kind of stuff come up in your head. I thought, hell, Link’s friends would post him along, and, and I got the podcast and you’re on it. Uh huh. And I think he lives. Somewhere out in L. A., somewhere close by, I said, You know, you might could get in touch with him like we did with Jim Quick. We might have him on the show one day. Oh, okay. On Dispatches for Myrtle Beach. Now that he’s gone country, you want to have him on the show. I see how it is. Now that, now that they’re shagging to some Post Malone. Well, I mean, and I like country music too, and I like Blake Shelton, but I thought it was kind of ironic that, and Logan told me that this is not the first country. He’s kind of going down the country music road right now. That’s right. That’s right. So, uh, you know, I’m just kind of trying to look, look after our. Okay. Yeah. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll look for an opportunity. We’ll see. I’ll see what we can do. I’m just asking. But I thought that was kind of ironic because I knew you had brought up to me even a couple of years ago when we were, I think when we were in LA that you were going, I think you were going to see Post Malone. Yeah. Yeah, well, sometimes we’ll go longer not seeing each other depends on he’s, he’s, he’s, he’s hard to pin down. He’s all over the world. Oh, yeah. But yeah, sometimes we, we’ll usually reconnect at least once a year. So, I’ll put in a good word for you. I just thought you’d be interested because we’ve been. He’s, it’s made his way to your, to your radio airwaves. And Jim Quick was playing it on his show today. So, uh, I thought that was pretty neat that, uh, some of the, some of the stuff we’ve done is kind of coming around full circle again. That’s it. That’s it. We all need to hang out. He’d like you. Well, that’s for sure. Okay. It’s time for another edition of Lights, Camera, and some Southern Pride Action. All right, you remember we did The father son scene from Star Wars, and uh, now I want to do one from Indiana Jones. I think it’s, it’s the third one, The Last Crusade. With, uh, have you seen that one? Yes. Where his, his dad is played by Sean, uh Starts with a C. I know it starts with, uh Connery. Yes. Sean Connery. James Bond. One of them. Yeah. Okay. So do you have the, you have the script in front of you? You can, I’ll, I’ll be link Deanna Jones and you can be Charles Jones senior. Yeah. So we’re in the, we’re in the castle room and uh, link Deanna and Charles are tied back to back in chairs. You remember this? Yep. Alright. You ready? Here we go. Let’s try and get these ropes loose. We start pulling at the ropes with great urgency. Can you try and reach into my left jacket pocket? Charles is able to wiggle his hand towards Link Dianna’s coat pocket. Link Dianna squirms his body around towards Charles hand. Now what exactly am I looking? Four years, son. , my lucky charm feels like a cigarette lighter. You best not be picking up bad habits, son. No. Dad, try and burn through the ropes. Charles’ fingers. Open the lighter and ignite the flame. Do open the lighter. Ignite the flame. And he’s Scottish, I think, right? Come on, now. Well, ain’t you sharper than a tack? That’s a mighty fine idea. You started, you started real strong, and then now you’re doing your own voice. Well, I thought you told me to do this Southern, but okay. Okay, that’s fair. Well, ain’t you sharper than a tack? That’s a mighty fine idea. Yeah, I like that. Charles yelps as a cigarette lighter burns his hand. It drops the lighter to the floor. Yeah. You got to yelp. Woo! Charles kicks at the lighter trying to reach it, but cannot. The rug starts to burn. I don’t know. Oh, oh Lord. I ought to tell you something. Don’t get sentimental now, dad. Save it till we get out of here. No, son. It’s burning like a brush fire in July. Ah, look! Dad, we’re not recording the podcast right now. We don’t have time for me to try to decipher what you’re trying to tell me. The chair is two. Well, this is bad. That would be correct. Alright, move. Move. Rock your chair. Do what I do. They begin to rock their chairs, inching their way off the burning carpet. Linkdiana tries to communicate with Charles, but each time he calls him, the men turn their heads in opposite directions. Dad! Dad. Dad can’t read his lie when he is turning in opposite directions. What dad? What? Dad? What incarnation is it? Son Head for the fireplace. Oh. Banging, rocking and hopping their chairs. They work their way into the fireplace. The only safe place from the Roaring Fire. I think I can get these ropes off. That dog won’t hunt these robes. These ropes are too tight. Link Deanna struggles to free his hands. His foot kicks out and accidentally hits a metal grill that operates a secret door. Whoops. The fireplace floor rotates like a lazy Susan and link. Deanna and his father find themselves in the. Radio Room. Give me a shocked face, Dad. An enemy radio woman wearing headphones sits in an elaborate panel of dials, switches, and meters in other stands over a map plotting coordinates. Suddenly the woman looks up and spots Charles and LinkedIana. She screams. Logan. The others in the room turn to see Charles and Link Diana. Two draw their revolvers and fire several shots at Charles and Link Diana. Let’s hear the shots, Dad. Bam! Bam! Link Only two. Okay. Link Diana and Charles rotate into the room, which is now an inferno. The carpet, drapes, and furniture are all ablaze. It’s hot as Hades in here. I’m sweating like a whore in church. Link D’Anna finally breaks free. I’m out, dad. And he immediately begins to untie his father. Attaboy! And scene. Yeah, it was good for you to do your own voice. That worked out better. I’ve got, I’ve got an attaboy. That was basically the whole reason we did that. You know, just to back you into that. Okay. All right. That’s a good movie. I think, I mean, I remember the scene where they’re both, They’re both flirting with the same woman. I think it might have been right before that. Yeah, it was right before that That’s a good movie. That’s a good father son movie dad. We should reenact the whole thing. Yeah, but we’re out of time Yeah, we hi.
