This is Dispatches from Myrtle Beach with my son, Link, from Good Mythical Morning. How you doing, Link? I’m doing good. I’m in the holiday spirit. I’m wearing my red. You’re wearing your red. But, yeah, it’s very Hawaiian. Silky looking shirt you got on. Are you staying home for Christmas? Well, I will probably go back to Sanford. Okay. Pooh. See the family and go see Nana and a little bit and see what’s going on. Make, tried to get her, get her to come down here and stay for a week or so. And then carry her back up there for Christmas, but I don’t know. We just kind of working on that and seeing what’s going on. Pace yourself. But Link, I gotta, before I forget, I want to give a shout out to Michelle, Anna Mae and Chris. At Martin Heating and Air. Oh. They, they had to come up here and work on our heat one day when it was really cold and make sure it was. Working like it was supposed to, so I’m giving the people in Martin Heating and Air a shout out. Now, did you get a discount for that? Uh, I don’t think so, but it wasn’t too bad. Hey, when your heat goes out and it’s that cold, it’s good to know somebody who’s going to show up you can count on. Well, I went by there one morning on Monday and there was somebody here that afternoon to work on it. Holler out! What do they call it again? You know, every time I walk in down there just to talk to them, they say, That’s our famous person that lives right down the street. They know what’s up. Yep, they know. They gotta keep famous Charles nice and warm. Get him nice and crispy for the holidays. Yeah, are you ready for Christmas? I I think so. I’m still, I’m still working on Christy buying her own Christmas presents. You know, I got to make sure that she’s got everything she needs me to give to her. We’re, we’re to that point, you know, it’s fine. We buy our own things for ourselves and we, we say we’re, they’re from the other person. But I did, I, I’m, I’ve been, I’ve been in big talks with Santa this year for the kids and have, have really, uh, you know, spearheaded those negotiations, unlike previous years. And I did get some acknowledgement from, um, my Mrs. Claus about that. And that made me feel good that I was, that I was taking some of the, some of the burden off this year. So I’m glad that that has not gone unnoticed. So I’m expecting a reward. That’s kind of me and Nancy, uh, bought us all new appliances, refrigerators. Oh, you did? Dishwasher. What? Uh, washing machine. All that stuff. The poor, poor Nancy went without a washing machine for four weeks. What? I mean, sure. Why did, cause you were what, looking for just the right one? We had to wait for, no, you had to, you just can’t go to the store and buy one. They don’t keep them in stock. You have to order it. Okay. Okay. Bye. And the one that she wanted, which is fine, it took longer to get it than the other one. She just had to do hand washing. But since we got it, boy, she’s been burning that thing up. She’s been getting with it. Yeah. And you got a new fridge, too? Yep. Let me ask you about that. And a new dishwasher. The thing, Christy wants a new fridge, and we went and looked at fridges, and she said she wanted a fridge that did not have the water thing in the door. And I’m like, what? You don’t want the water thing in the door? And then the more I thought about it, I’m like, we, uh, the ice is always a problem. Like, the ice maker will not, it’s broken in such a way that it’s unfixable. And now we can’t get ice out of the door anyway, and it takes up so much room. A lot of these fridges now, the water is just, you have to open the door and there’s a little thing down there. And then the ice is down in the freezer where you can get away with needing less room. So that’s what we’re looking at. Well, let me tell you the, this one that we got, and it’s the LG is the name of it, you can’t even tell when you open the two doors on it. You can’t even see the ice maker. Because it’s in the door. And then, and it’s hid inside the door. And then, it still makes, you can get water and ice up, up there. But down in the bottom where the freezer’s at, it’s got another ice maker in the bottom of it. That’s just too much, Dad. Why, why, why, that’s, why are you gloating so hard? You don’t, why you need two ice makers? Hey, I like it. Hey. It’s nice. And it, listen, the one in the freezer makes round ice and it’s about that big. Oh, and what, it makes different shaped ice than the one in the fridge? Yep, so how are you you what’s the purpose of the different ices? I don’t need that. That’s just the way they make it. So which ice do you use the ball ice or the normal ice? Usually just a normal ice you don’t even use it. It’s just nice, so you always have enough ice if you got company and coming in you get it up on the bottom, it’s nice and, nice looking ice. Pretty ice. Got some pretty ice put, put place. But don’t you have an ice maker, a dedicated ice maker in your garage. Uh, that would be correct. Alright, fine. He, he not gonna run outta ice, y’all. He’s got three different types of ice that he can get. And Christie wanted the, the fridge that has the, the, the, the French doors up top, the freezer on the bottom. But in the middle there’s a, there’s drawers that you can pull out and it’s just a, the produce drawer can be opened without opening the French doors. I’m like, really? Do we really need that? And, and we got that too. I just don’t, I don’t, I don’t see the appeal of that. It’s pretty nice. You can put all your deli and cold cut stuff in there and cheeses and all that stuff and just put it in there. Then when you just need that, you don’t let all the cold air out and you just pull that one thing out. Get, get out what you want to do to make a sandwich. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t think it’s that big of a problem. I don’t know. Okay. But I do like the ice maker being in the freezer so that I can, I can have the, the, the left door that is where you have your, your upstairs ice maker. It’s now shelving that you can actually use, but they got some fancy stuff now, they got doors open all which away. It’s intimidating. But yeah, we’re going to get one of those. I think. Okay. Well, Link, I got a holler out from, from Nick says, hi, Charles. My nana is Sandra Swartz, a Hall of Fame shag dancer. She unfortunately passed away years ago, but I have such great memories of hanging out with her down at the O.D Pavilion. She loved that spot so much that her memorial was held there and the family shagged in her memory. Kinda. Most of us are wildly uncoordinated, but we had a good time anyway. It has been years since I’ve been down to Myrtle, but if memory serves, her Hall of Fame star is just outside of Duffy’s on Main Street. So do me a favor, the next time you happen to be down there and say hi to her for me. PS, One of her favorite songs to dance to was Shadow Shaggin by Tommy Black and the Blues. Throw it on and see if you get your feet moving. Well, Nick, I know the song from Tommy Black. It’s a good song and it does get my feet moving when I hear it. But, I’m gonna tell you, I went down and found your Nana’s Walk of Fame star. And it’s not in front of Duffy’s. It’s almost directly right in front of Fat Harold’s where you go into Fat Harold’s dancing. Is that better? And I know she, and I know she danced there many a time just like she did at the OD Pavilion. So you need, if, uh, just to let you know, I know where her star is at and I got a picture of it where you can see it. Right there. So, Sandra Schwartz, did you know Sandra Schwartz, Dad? No. Okay. But they have all, even in Harold’s and then, and across from, at, uh, Spanish Galleon. Uh huh. They’ve got, her picture is hanging on the wall over there. Uh, from being a great dancer and part of the shag community over there. And she’s got a picture hanging up in, uh, Uh, Fat Harold’s too, so she could dance. So I did not realize that there was a Shaggin Hall of Fame. Is this something that maybe you would aspire to achieve one day yourself? Uh, I’m probably too old and too far gone for me to probably ever make it with that. You have to be nominated for other people, and I don’t. Well, do you have to be a good dancer, or could you say, contribute to the shag community through a digital presence on a show that spreads the knowledge and love of shagging internationally? Well, it would be a, we, we could probably do that, but they, they have stopped making that picture where they’re putting the stars and the things on the uh, on the sidewalks, they’ve stopped doing that down here, but you could still do that. Yeah. Well, I mean, we can have more sidewalk, you know, if, uh, if that’s what it takes to get you a, and it’s a record, it’s not an actual star, but to get you a record on their walk of fame. If we need to add a little bit of sidewalk, well, you know, I know someone who knows how to pour concrete and he might be the one who needs to star, you know what I’m saying? You could, you could lay it down yourself. Yeah, that might, but just pick, just go to the end of the sidewalk and just add a little bit, you know, and it might just, when you add it, it might just happen to get. It’s own shaggin star with a certain Charles Neal name in it. And if that happens, it’ll probably just happen with a, a contribution with a picture in the Spanish galleon or over there in Fat Harold’s about promoting beach music and trying to keep it alive. Now that could happen. Okay. And they still do that. You get, you have to be nominated for it, but you know, several, you know, a couple of more years down the road and we keep doing this podcast, you know, that might what happens. Yeah. It could happen. Well, you, you just keep, you just keep being an advocate for the wonderful dance called beat shagging. Well, I’m going to do that. And we’ll see what happens. And see what happens with it. Cause I don’t want it to die like that. Not just like Sandra people. That is my age. Well, I didn’t mean, I didn’t mean that like that. I meant not that Sandra died, but that she didn’t want shagging to die. That’s what I meant. Yeah, that’s what I meant too. That’s what I meant too. Sorry. But she did die. But just for the record, according to Nick, she has passed away, but shagging has not thanks to her work. And, uh, the wonderful dedication of others, including you. We’ll, we’ll, we’ll see what happens. Holler out, Nick. Yeah. Okay. Link, we got a, another video is from @ Paris Ashley Home, okay, for us to look at it. See she’s gonna help me Learn some more tricks about paint. Oh, all right. Let’s see if you can be impressed. It’s time for Alright, Mr. Neal. What do you think of this real? Here are four paint hacks to make your life easier and I can almost guarantee you haven’t seen number two, Number one poke some holes in your can let that paint drain out after you pour it makes your life easier. Pause it, all right. So what’s that dad? What? Paint put holes in it. Well, she’s right about this, but I don’t poke holes with a nail. I just take my five in one knife and where I’m gonna pour it out, I just stick a hole in it in a couple of places. And it does make the paint pour out and don’t make a mess coming out. So that’s a pretty neat trick. How do you seal the can afterward if you got holes in the top? Not in the, it’s in, you take the lid off, and right where the lid goes, back on it to seal it up. Oh, in that little ditch that goes around? Yeah. Oh, you put holes in the ditch. Yeah, yep, just put the little holes in there, but I don’t, I don’t do holes all the way around it. I just do it on the side. I’m gonna pour it out of, uh, but that is a, that’s a, that’s a good trick to know. I’ve never seen you do that. I’ve been doing it about 40 years. Well, I’ve never seen, you didn’t, no, I’ve never, you did not teach me that one. Well, I might’ve. That’s cause we was painting out of five gallon buckets. Okay, alright, alright. Scene number two. Okay. Number two, you’re gonna have to stay till the end to see how this turns out. But we’re gonna put our paint tray in a bag. We’re gonna flip it over and we are gonna tape it to make sure the bag doesn’t move around while we’re painting. We’re gonna flip it back over, pour your paint, and wait till the end to see how this trick unfolds. Okay. Well, I don’t need this. What are we waiting for the end dad? Because I mean, all she did was she made a liner. That’s no different than like frying bacon in the oven. I guess which would be baking bacon, but you’re putting foil on your pans. You can just throw the foil away or whatever, instead of washing your pan. It seems like that’s what she’s doing, but I don’t know. Yeah, see I don’t ever use a little nine inch pan like she’s using. This might be something nice for a homeowner. Amateurs. Before they don’t, yeah. It sounds like she’s afraid of getting dirty. If you’re afraid of getting paint on you, don’t paint. I don’t, I don’t see much paint on her, but uh, cause, hey, people tell me, you know, you must like your job, because I got some paint on my clothes. Boy, they know I’ve been working. Don’t paint if you don’t want paint on you. That’s right. Boy, I’ll tell you, when I painted for you, I had so much paint on me, it was embarrassing. It’s like I took a bath in it. Because if you’re good, like you, and you know what you’re doing, you don’t get a lot of paint on you. But you do get some, and that’s, that’s, that’s a rite of passage. What’s number three? Next, we are gonna wrap our brushes in foil. You may have seen this before, but it is my favorite. I prefer this over the fridge hack. I’ve done this for months at a time, and it works. This is one hour, but you can see how wet that brush still is. Hold on, what? What? For how, for, did she say a month? Play it again, Logan. Next, we are gonna wrap our brushes in foil. You may have seen this before, but it is my favorite. I prefer this over the fridge hack. I’ve done this for months at a time, and it works. This is one hour, but you can see how wet that brush still is. She, uh, she has paint on her brush and roller, and instead of washing it, she covers it in foil for months at a time. Uh, I’m kind of like you. I mean, I, I’m not, I mean, I got to use my rollers again and I got to wash them out. And, and, uh, I mean, that’s, that’s too much expense to, I don’t know. Why are you wanting to keep a wet brush for months? I, I can’t figure it that out either. What? And, and it might stay wet that long, but it, uh, if you want to touch, you know what I, I need to touch up the wall. Good thing that I’ve got this brush covered in foil from four months ago. What he, she’s a, she’s also afraid to clean her, brush out that, and, you know, clean your brush out. And as much as, and as much as aluminum fo costs, ’cause I buy cooking all the time. That’s right. I mean. Just clean your brush out, just clean it out and then when you need it again, get it out fresh and use it and open that paint bucket where you got the little holes in it and use it again. You got cute little holes. Now if you’re painting at a house and you’re done for the day, but you got to keep painting the next day, pick up right where you left off. Do you not wash your brush out and maybe you’ll just like keep it and then pick it up the next day and keep using it? No, no, I will put my brush. Just like a roller. If I, if I’m gonna get right back in the same paint, but I just take plastic and wrap all around the, my trade paint and, mm-hmm, tray that I’m painting that off and my brush, but I don’t do it. But one day after that, I take my brush and roller out and wash it out and start again the next day if I didn’t get through with that color. But most of the time, in two days, I’m, I’m through with that color, and it does keep it moist. You gotta make sure you wrap it up good, but If you’re still painting the same thing after months I’m not gonna leave it like that for a month. Or two. Alright, let’s see number four. Alright, so we’re gonna clean our brushes. We’re gonna get the proper brush and roller cleaning tool. We’re gonna get all that paint out, then we’re gonna give it a good squeeze, and we are ready to clean our brush with the comb side of this tool. Get all that paint out, and that one is good to go too. So, now she’s cleaning her brush, so she is capable of it. Pouring the paint down the sink, is that a good idea? I don’t know what, I thought she was putting it back in the bucket. Uh uh, she was, she was, she was scraping, She didn’t save it. She was scraping the excess paint into her sink, with the running water. Oh no, I ain’t doing that. I’m gonna clean my brushes outside. No, it ain’t a good idea to, I don’t care how much water you’re using. You shouldn’t be putting your paint down a sink. And I, I think that may have been a, a, a garbage disposal sink as well. You don’t want to. Yeah. And it may not be working anymore. I mean, the tool she was using is called a five in one knife. And you do cut out the roller with it, but I always just put it up on the edge of the bucket or the. Thing where my roller come in and cut it out and then I pour it all back in the, uh, bucket that I, that the paint come on off and seal it up and go outside in the backyard and clean it all out with the water hose. I mean, you just can’t wash it out one time, a roller and a brush. You got to clean it two or three times to get it back clean. And you got to use a wire brush, not just that little. thing that calms it out. You got to have a wire brush to do that too. So yeah, you’re an amateur and you’re messing up your sink, girl. Now what about this thing she’s teasing us about? Like, you’re not gonna believe what happens when I put a bag around this thing. All right, now it’s the grand finale. Take that bag, get all that air out, get your scissors, cut a little tiny hole, and squeeze that paint out. Look at that! All right, share this with your friends. Save it for later. And as always, follow for more DIY tips and tricks. Well, I mean, that, that was all right, but, uh, didn’t want that much paint to come out of it. Yeah. I mean. Doesn’t seem to be worth it. But it ain’t something that I’m going to do. I don’t think we’ve succeeded at anything, even when he said he’s going to do the stuff, we know he’s not. So there’s nothing. You’ve not really pleased him. So we challenge you, Myrtle Beasts, send us a, uh, video of a paint hack that’s going to blow dad’s mind. You’re going to have to do it a little better than that. I mean. Right. And you’re definitely not going to not be washing it down your sink. No, that makes too much of a mess anyway. You’d have it, you’d have it everywhere. But, uh, maybe she’s a lot more careful than I am, but. Just want a good, I don’t think it’s a good idea to be putting paint down your sink. The environmental people ain’t gonna like it either. Yeah, just put it in your yard. Yeah, but I don’t know. Just, uh, I’m sorry, but I like the little holes in the can. But, you know, the rest of it is not something that I’m going to do. I like cleaning my brush out about when I get through with it every day, I clean it out every day and most of the time I roll or two soon. He’s a professional people. So don’t be coming in here trifling with these dumb hacks. You got to bring, bring the heat next time. Have you ever thought, Hey.
