Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Myrtle beasts! This is Santa Claus and Link Neal from Good Mythical Morning. Oh, yeah, I thought you were going to say Santa Charles. Good to see you. You’re looking good, Dad. There is Santa Charles, but You’re a little, um, you’re a little, your beard is huge. And it might be muffling you a little bit. So maybe you, you know, but you look great. He’s in full Santa gear, Myrtle Beasts, if you’re not watching this. Yeah. He’s got the beard. He’s got the hat. He’s got the wig. He’s got the red shirt. Do you have on green socks? I don’t know, does, Santa wears green socks. I think I don’t know. I’m sorry. I ain’t got no green socks on. Okay, not today. All right. Yeah. Well, you’re really getting in the mood I mean, this is the night Before Christmas. Happy Christmas Eve, Myrtle Beast. Boy, you know, if I could just have that feeling of being a kid again. Uh, who am I kidding? I do. I have it all the time. Just that expectation of what’s it gonna be like to get up on Christmas morning. Ooh, yeah. Lots of fun. Lots of fun, you know. Yes. Oh, hey. I don’t worry about me, but we still like to. See what the grandkids got and all them and even though they’re getting older, it’s still fun watching them and seeing stuff. That’s right. Well, Merry Christmas to you, Dad. Sorry I can’t be there to see you, but I’m, uh, I’m, I’m staying out here in L.A this year. And, uh, I, I just want to tell you that I, I am still thankful for my early Christmas gift, that, uh, my green egg, and I’ve been, and I’ve been using it a lot. So, uh, I wanted to tell you, uh, thank you for getting that for me and Nancy. I’m glad you love it. That’ll probably take care of many more Christmases. But I love it. I mean, I love it. Think of me every time you use it. That makes me happy. Yeah, that would be correct. Yeah. Don’t forget to burp it when it gets hot. Oh yeah. We still ain’t got to do a pizza on it yet, but we’re going to one of these days. Okay. When it gets that hot, you’re sure enough have to burp it. That’s right. That’s right. Well, Link, just to let all our Myrtle Beasts know, this is our last regular episode of 2024. Can you believe it? We’ll be, we’ll be taking next week off, but don’t worry, we’ll have our first ever audio only throwback episode to take its place, dropping on Tuesday, December the 31st. Okay, so you’ll have an episode in your audio feed. It’ll be a nice throwback episode just to keep the rhythm for you, so you don’t forget about it. That would be, yep. That’s, that’s what we got. All right. That’s what. Logan, and all of them’s got plans, so I appreciate it, yeah, and everything, but listen, we’ll be back in the new year with a very special 100th episode the week of January the 6th. Oh wow, 100th episode, alright, we gotta work up some sort of, you know, extravaganza for that. Well, I imagine that between you and Logan and a lot of other people, that they’ll have something figured out for us for all our Myrtle Beasts. I love our hundredth episode. All right. I’m looking forward to celebrate. So we get to celebrate these holidays, you know, Christmas, New Year, and then we’re going to get back and celebrate a hundredth. episode. All right. I like that. I like having something more to celebrate in January when, because I’m never celebrated out. You know, it’s always something to be celebrated. But you know, right now, before we get into that, you know, this is the, it’s the end of the year and you know, you and I, I think, you know, we’ve had a good time. Doing the podcast and everything, and I appreciate all the people that sent in the emails to RatherBShagging53@AOL. com and that, you know, all the questions and a lot of the things where people, I’ve tried to figure out what these words mean or what these sentences mean Uh, you know, people, uh, watching The little clips we do with, uh, you talking about tick tock, tick tock and all those things and that we do. And, but then also, uh, you know, all the questions they’ve asked is kind of gotten me emotional about different things and how things go on their lives and how we’ve helped, helped them get through some different things and everything. So. You know, it’s been, it’s been a really rewarding year and it’s been really rewarding for those reasons, but it’s rewarding that you and I get to do something together that people like to watch and listen to and, uh, hear us talk and just carry on and everything. So it’s been a great year and I appreciate it. From all you Myrtle Beasts out there that watch and listen each and every week, then everything that goes on. So, it’s been a good year. We gonna kick it off like we said, January the 6th with, uh, a hundredth episode. So, You know, we must be doing a little something, like they like, so. And I concur. I concur. I think it’s been a great year for us. I’ve had so much fun on this podcast. Um, you know, not to mention, you’re, you’re You collaborating with us on Good Mythical Evening, which is absolutely hilarious, and let’s not forget, like, a huge highlight of the year was the Good Mythical Tour, and that homecoming show in Raleigh that you showed up for was, was, was a big moment of the year for, for me. I assume it was for you too. Oh man, yeah, you know, I was fortunate enough that, uh, my, one of my cousins, Wes, took a video of that and I still got it on my phone where I can go back and watch me walking out on stage and the people just, you know. Going crazy. That was a big highlight of the year. Something, something we’ll never forget. It’s a good feeling. It’s always good to do the hometown show and have everybody happy to be there. So, uh, yeah, we made a lot of memories and we’ve, we’ve shared a lot of laughs this year and, uh, even a few tears. So I think that’s wonderful. You’re so beautiful. Yeah. Dang, Dad. It’s time for another edition of Myrtle Beach Mailbag. So what you, what you, what you got for us today? You know, we did a little thing when I went out there to see you when I was on the cooking show, and I got to do some stuff with some, uh, I can’t remember the guy’s name, but he was the Gen Z guy. Trevor. You know where he met, Trevor. Yeah. And so we got some more Gen Z slang words. Uh, it says, Hey Charles, now that we’re, and it’s from Sierra. It says, Hey Charles, now that we’re nearing the end of 2024, can you try to make a sentence with some of the most popular Gen Z slang words? And phrases from the year. Here’s a list. Okay. Alright, so read the first one, and you tell me what you think it means. Well, um, the first one is, In the club, we all fam. That’s right. I concur. In the club, we are all fam. Well, And I’m just going to tell y’all, you Myrtle Beast, Logan, kind of give, give me these things where I could write down what I thought they were. And that’s all I did just like off the top of my head. And I wrote down all of us are one and we are having fun doing it together. Yeah, that’s it. Right. That’s it pretty much. And even if you’re not in a club, You’re still fam. I mean, so you, you can say it when you’re not actually in a club. Exactly. You can say it anywhere. Okay. Darn. You nailed it. Nailed it. You’ve been hanging out with Trevor too much. Did you write a, he wrote sentences for each. Do you want? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So you wrote a sentence for each one. I got it. It says the sentence I use it in, it says, I am glad we are in the club together and making things happen. Mm mm mm. It’s the clurb, remember? Try again. Club. Yeah. Well, that’s what I wrote down. Clurb. Okay. Making things happen. But you didn’t say we all fam. Okay. That’s fine. I’ll give it to you. You did, you did nail the definition. So I got to give it to you. All right. Hit, give us with the next one. Brat. All right. What’s that mean? I don’t know. Well, a brat is the person in the family that is mischievous and always gets what they want. Okay, um, yeah, that, I mean, that’s the definition of the word, but the, but the meaning of it as like a phrase. Okay, well, I got that too. When we were growing up. Oh, okay. My sister was always my brat. Had to do everything I did. Okay, now I, I, I’m going to say that I don’t know exactly what we’re looking for here. Logan, you’re going to have to help us out because I know that Charlie XCX had the you know what many are calling the album of the year dad, which was this is a pop star Okay, and then the album is called brat, right, right And um, that’s about all I know about it. I don’t know what it means. I got the official definition Is this someone who is? Confidently, rebellious, unapologetically bold, and playfully defiant. Is it, dad? That’s kind of what you said, right? Uh, well Playfully defiant. Pretty close enough for government work to me. Yes. Hey, if you’re a government brat, then there you go. You’re two for two, dad. You are nailing this. Like, I think there’s a lot of comments on TikTok that’s like, Charles is brat. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you’re brat, yeah. You’re, you’re, you’re confident. And what else? Always thinks he’s right. Defiant. Defiant, yes. Rebellious. Rebellious, yes. Bold. Bold, yes. That would be me. Yeah, you’re brat, boy. You’re brat. You bring in all the brat. And it’s a good thing, apparently. You, you thought, I think that’s the one thing you got wrong. You thought it was negative, but it’s positive. So you thought you were like, um, giving your sister a hard time with that sentence, but actually you made her the, uh, pop cultural hero. You didn’t, you didn’t mean to do that, did you? Oh, well, it’s all right now, but I wasn’t a minute growing up. All right. Well, what’s, what’s the next one? Read it. Who is this diva? No, I don’t know this either. So. I don’t know what this is from. What do you think this is dad? Who is this diva? It’s, it’s a, well, I thought maybe the definition is a famous person that you think, you know, that is gorgeous. Okay. I, I don’t know what it is, but I, that seems too literal. I think it’s got to mean something else. Well, here’s what I wrote. And this is going to go back to what we just talked about. And I said, I guess because of Dispatches, I have become fans diva. Okay, but you, what? Fans diva? Dispatch, because of Dispatches, I have become the Dispatches fans diva. Oh, yes, that’s true. But you didn’t say who is this diva. Is that what people who are watching the video version of our podcast might say? Who is this? Well, that’s what I meant. Try it. I got you. Yeah. How far off is he? Because I’ve not heard this one. I’m I’m unapologetically out of the loop as well. He’s not that far off. It’s like a comment trend on tick tock. So people commented on that video of Charles doing that. Charlie xcx dance. Okay, instead of people saying who is this diva? They’re saying. Oh, we know this diva I’d ask who this diva is, but we already know this diva So when people when someone is in a video acting like a diva or basically acting like What like like there there might be like a video of a bird hopping around and people like who is this diva? Like it’s like a comment trend. Okay, so if somebody if somebody um draws your attention. Yes But it’s not, especially if there’s some irony in it, like it’s a bird, then that’s the correct answer. Who is this diva? It’s something that, see, you understand it as if you see someone who actually is a diva, you would say that. But this is applied to other people who are drawing attention and maybe don’t deserve it. Who is this diva? We know who this Diva is. It’s Charles Neal. All right, I know what the next one is, so let’s hear it. Well, Link, let me tell you. Yeah. This ain’t got nothing to do with it, but it’s got a little something to do with Diva. You know, we had Jim Quick on the show. Yeah. I saw him about a week or so ago and he was at playing somewhere and the merchandise where he sold his hats and all this stuff. Well, this. Mom and dad and her child was there and the child looked up at quick and said, I know who you are You won’t Charles’s podcast. Ah Yeah, that’s right. I Bet he loved that Quick says well, I just kind of just brought me right on back down to earth Next time you see him walk up behind him and say Who is this diva? Yeah, that’s what I’m doing. I think whenever you see any of your guy friends, that needs to be the thing that you say to them. That’s how you’re gonna greet your buddies now. Who is this diva? To everybody, you know. If you run into somebody that’s a buddy of yours, Remember that. Okay. Who is this diva? Let’s try it on. Like, alright, see, alright, I’m in, I’m in Hudson Belk and I’m, and I’m, and I’m looking at work shirts, or whatever, and you, you’re gonna come up behind me. Who is this diva? Charles Neal! See? Yeah, see, that’s good. That’s how you need to be using that. I got you. Alright, what, read the next one. It’s giving. It’s giving. Now you should know this, right? Because this was, well, you only said it once, but I heard it. Uh, Good Mythical Tour show that you weren’t at, because it’s one of the things you said in the video. Do you remember? No, he doesn’t. I don’t really, uh, know. You said, oh, I’m supposed to say, it’s giving beautiful. Talking about how you like the person’s dress on the front row. You don’t remember, dad? Oh, I’ve heard, I’ve I’ve heard it way too many times. Yeah, because I, I you were only at one show. I was at all of them. you, you, you said this a lot, Okay. On tour. So what do you think it, it’s giving means? Uh, a time to give back because you are thankful for what you have. Well, that’s certainly a sweet dad, but it’s incredibly wrong. Yeah. It’s not about charity. It’s not about paying it forward. I guess you could stretch it that it would be. What’s the sentence, how do you use it in a sentence? It’s the time for all of us to be giving instead of receiving. See, you didn’t use the word giving, but you didn’t use the phrase, it’s giving. It’s giving. Um, like, if I, if I happen to like stumble upon this video and I walk by and I looked at you in your Santa outfit, I would say, It’s giving, uh, burning trash in a barrel to stay warm vibes, is what I would say about your costume. It, it brings to mind something else. It’s like, if you’re giving, I don’t know, how would you describe it? Yeah, you’re giving a certain vibe. It’s giving, fill in the blank, is, oh no, it’s harder to explain than just to do. It’s basically if you’re comparing something. Okay. Like when you’re in your Hawaiian shirt. Yeah. Like, when you see, when you see your buddies and you’re like, who is this diva? And then you can say, I like your shirt. It’s giving desperation, you know? It’s like, what does it, what does it exude? It’s exuding something. Oh, okay. All right. Would you rather say it’s exuding something or it’s giving? Okay. Okay, isn’t it? So if I’m Okay was not like If I had multiple choice answers to the question I just asked, one of the answers would not be okay. It’s like, okay. But that’s fine. All right. I don’t know this next one. Read this one. Uh Is he saying it right? Delulu. Delulu. Never heard it. So, what’s your guess as to what this means? And guess what? It threw me off so long that I cheated on this one. Are you serious? Yep. You shouldn’t have given it to him ahead of time. Lesson learned. You just, listen. Well, I’m honest about it, but I looked it up. And you know what? It’s not going to happen again because you’re not going to get into this stuff ahead of time. Okay. It’s giving lesson learned. I, I mean, I would guess what de lulu is, is um, de lulu. I think it’s maybe when you don’t know what to say. It’s just like, like when you’re like, okay, I think what you can start when you don’t know what to say from now on, just say de lulu. That’s my guess. It’s literally just delusional. Just people are saying DeLulu. What did you find out when you cheated? It means it is something that you, you are doing and it’s delusional with what you’re doing. But you cheated. Hey, I told you! If you thought you were gonna say, get that one correct without us, Knowing that you cheated, that’s DeLulu. And you knew that, which is why you told us, right? Yeah, yeah. So, telling us is undeluded. I mean, I couldn’t figure it out. I mean, I might have been tired or something, but I mean. You DeLulu. DeLulu. She is DeLulu. Alright. Yep. And finally, oh, did you use it? Use it in a sentence. Use it in the, uh, ulu. I am delulu because of dispatches from Myrtle Beach. What does that even mean? Dad, you’re delusional because of the show. I, you, you looked up the the correct definition. You cheated. And then you still couldn’t use it in a sentence, right? No, I couldn’t. That’s, that’s the Lulu. I probably still can’t spell chocolate either, so don’t worry. That’s right. All right, last one. What’s this, read this word? Snatched. Snatched. Snatched. Okay, I think I know what this one is. What do you think it is? I’ve been taken from my safe place or kidnapped. You’re too literal. This is, these are, these are like, you know, these are, these are slang. It’s a repurposing of it. So you’re, you’re being too literal, like snatched. I think it means that you’re just completely surprised and wowed. Well, that’s not it read high snatched. It’s just like, you’re looking good. What? Yeah. Like attractive. Oh, you’re looking snatched in that Christmas sweater. I use it in a sentence and says, I have been snatched up to a new place where I get recognized in the world. Well, you didn’t have to make it all about you either. And she didn’t say use it in a sentence all about yourself or your show. I can’t fault you for it. I can’t fault you. Yeah, you told people at Thanksgiving that you’d create, you’d created a monster. Now we just told you what snatched meant. Now you just use it in a sentence in the proper way. Tell me again. You can’t do that, Dad. You gotta be listening. This is your show. When we talk, you know. It means good looking. It means good looking? Yeah. Oh. Well, I’m glad you like being snatched by me. Well, it’s not a verb, though. It’s a state. It’s a state of being. Well, I hope you’ve been snatched along to where I’m going because it’s a good place to be. Okay. That’s fine. That’s fine. You’re looking snatched in that beard, Dad. That’s what I’m looking for. Okay, Sierra wrote a sentence, and I’m gonna read hers. Okay, but you know what? Maybe put the beard up, maybe go full Santa for this, if you’re gonna read her sentence. Okay. It says, I’m looking snatched. Hold on, that’s not the voice. That’s not Santa’s voice. You got to go full Santa. I’m looking snatched in this fire pit, aren’t I? I’m giving holiday glam, and if you don’t think so, you’re de lulu. I mean, touch your face like you’re admiring yourself. Who is this diva? Brat Summer? More like Brat Winter. We all look snatched at the North Pole, cause in the club, we are family. Yeah. But the first thing you said confused me. You said something about a fire pit. That’s, that’s what it says. I’m looking snatched in this fire pit. Why are you in a fire pit? Why are you looking snatched in a fire pit? I think it says something else. Uh, you got me. What does it say? Fire what? Fire fit. In this fire, oh, fire fit. I’m sorry. There you go. I’m looking for snacks in this. That makes more sense. Okay. Fire fit. Fit. Fit. Fit is what. I’m looking for fire snacks in this fire fit. Fit is your outfit. And if it’s fire, that means it’s good. And if you’re looking good in your good looking outfit. Fire fit. There you go. Yeah. Okay. I’m looking. Snatched in this fire fit.

Well, Link, we got another email from Matthew and it says, Charles, what do you think of these holiday sweaters? Okay. Let’s see. All right. So read this one. Ask your mom if I’m real. It’s got a picture of Santa’s face with a winky Santa. What do you think of that? I think that’s pretty cool. I think that’s inciting conflict. Now, I know I’m not one to talk in terms of spoiling Santa, but I don’t put that on other people, right? Okay. I hear you. Do you? Charles, can you, do you get it? Can you explain it? I asked your mom if I’m real, and he’s winking, like, you know, uh, yeah, I think I get it that, uh, I’m not really Santa, but, uh, I’m somebody your mom thinks I’m real. I think it’s trying to get kids to have a, uh, Uh have an awkward conversation with their parents About santa is that right or is it more than that? If the you’re saying if the dad wears the sweater, is that part of it? No It’s just I mean, it’s just trying to get kids to ask their parent if santa’s real. No What is it? Ask your mom if i’m real like Santa had sex with the bomb. Oh, I thought you didn’t get it. Logan is, Logan is questioning whether she needs to keep working with both of us. Okay. Yeah. Ask your mom if I’m real. Ask your mom if I’m real. Oh, he’s real. Kind of like, yeah, like your mom too. Okay. Okay. I don’t love it. It’s a little too deep. All right, read this one. Maybe we’ll get this one. Read it. Well, if that other one was what it was, this one is X rated. Santa’s favorite ho, ho, ho. Mm hmm. So we got, we got a girl wearing a sweatshirt, and um, it’s a bit self deprecating, wouldn’t you say? It, it’s something that I don’t think, uh, it, that, it, that they ought to be wearing where little kids could see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you can have like a dirty Santa sweater. That’s fine. Maybe, maybe she doesn’t have kids. Maybe she’s never around kids. I think the only person that can call, you know, you can’t call anybody a hoe except yourself. Is it okay to call yourself a hoe, dad? Uh, yeah, I reckon so. What would that mean? Hoe, hoe, hoe. But what’s that? Here we, me and Santa go. But if you call, if you, what, what is it? If you just, if it’s just a hoe, what is that? Yeah. Is that a, that’s not a positive term? No, it’s not. No. Then what is it? Oh yeah. Okay. Well, so what is it? Why is it negative? Well, it’s, I don’t die. You know what a hoe is, is what I’m asking? Yes, I do. That’s, uh, somebody that, uh, sells theirself like the lady of an of the night. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. Last one. Read it. Dad. This is a guy wearing Oh, like an eld. Hmm. He must be trollings. All I can tell you, uh. I hope he can back up what he’s saying. So, but are elves, but elves aren’t hung. I think like the elf on the shelf. But they’re sitting. This one doesn’t work. I, I know it’s trying to be a big wiener joke, right dad? Yeah. Yep. But it’s, it’s really, it had a false start because you don’t like, elves aren’t like hung on trees. They’re not ornaments. They sit on shelves. So that’s a big bust in my opinion. This is O for three. These, these are fails, in my opinion. Yeah, I don’t like that one either, but, um, And elves are kind of small. I mean, they’re trying to say that elves have big wieners? I reckon. Have you ever heard that? I’ve never heard that. No. They’re not known for their wiener size, are they? No. They, uh, they’re known for making stuff and helping Santa. That’s right, that’s right. I mean, they have to leave their wieners out of this. I mean, for all I know, they’re eunuchs. You haven’t, are you getting over your wig? He’s itching, y’all. He’s itching. Yeah. It’s itching. He’s getting agitated. Santa needs to take a nap. It’s alright. Yeah. Alright. Yep. Okay. So, Matthew, we didn’t like your sweaters do better do better think of the kids. Yeah, it’s time for another edition Ah, let’s roleplay All right. Well, we’re on a roll now. Let’s keep going with Santa. Okay. All right so you’re gonna go you stay in full Santa and let’s just let’s just have a little roleplay cuz I haven’t had a conversation with Santa this year yet Okay. Hello. Hey, hey, young man. What do you want for Christmas? Um, hi, Santa. It’s, it’s super nice to, to meet you. Um, I’m so, I can’t believe you came all the way down from the North Pole. Where are you right now? Uh, I’m, I’m just outside of the North Pole, but I just, well, I got some reception where I could talk to you. Oh, okay. Well, it, I mean, it, it looks like you’re at the beach. Are you, are you on the beach? Yeah, I’m, I’m, I can’t, I, I, it just looks like I’m on a beach. I just got that back to where, that’s where you, you won’t know where I’m at so I can come and get you something for Christmas. Oh, well, you know what? You sound awfully familiar. Are you, are you sure you’re Santa Claus? Oh yes, I’m Santa Claus. Really? Cause you sound a lot like somebody else I know. I do? Yeah. Well, you just changed your voice a little bit, but before that, you sounded definitely a lot like somebody else I know. And I’m related to. Well, it may, it may be because, uh, you’ve known me from years ago, too. Yeah, but you, I was always sleeping when you, when you visited. I don’t know. I don’t know. Something, something about you is familiar. Can you, um, can you spell chocolate? Uhhhh. C H O L O A T E. Well, say that again. C H O L A T E. Did you, I think you just spelled cholate, Santa. Oh. I think you’ve been exposed. Are you my dad, Santa? Don’t, don’t tell nobody. Don’t tell nobody, but don’t tell all the other Myrtle beasts out there. Might not think Santa Claus is coming to see them. I got him, I got him. So, uh, it, it, let me get this straight. If, if I keep this to myself, am I going to get a big gift this Christmas? Uh, that would be correct. Oh, I knew it! You’re my dad! Oh gosh. Ho, ho, ho. Well, it was fun having you all here with us today, and I’m sure you enjoyed shooting down all y’all’s chimneys. No cold for you this year Link because, you’ve got a special set of balls. Yep. I remember that. I remember that.
