I have always told my partner that chocolate chip cookie dough is my second favorite ice cream but it would be the first if it was just cookie dough ice cream but not sugar cookie cuz that different 😅😅 I feel heard and seen when the whole meal was voice overed 🤣
Sugar cookies are my favorite, but if I had chipless chocolate chip cookies idk those might win. The bites between the chips are the best part, the actual cookie part. They aren't exactly sold everywhere, and I suppose I could make them myself but I don't generally make cookies just for myself very often or I'd be much fatter than I am
@@kelvinphung9393 I'm really hoping that it's just a running gag about him liking dog food ... but knowing him it's probably not just a running gag and there's some truth to it.

This is going to be a turning point for Josh, Mythical Kitchen, and the handoff that Rhett said he eventually wanted. Getting bigger names like Tom Hanks & Margaret Cho is the sign for other big celebrities to want to join in, and turn Last Meals into the next Hot Ones. We all already know Josh is capable of that depth. And the topic/format of Last Meals is just set up to be that much deeper than Hot Ones. A year from now, I feel like Josh is going to be interviewing a bunch of A-listers
Is Hot Ones eating specific hot foods or does each guest have a choice? If so, this show seems more than on-par. There are a variety of foods introduced in each episode and deep conversations.
@@AJ-ht3kf yeh hot ones is specifically hot wings, and like ridiculously hot hot sauces, so yeh this does have a special appeal because it's not really a challenge for any celebrities but it does require looking inward, and a lot of existential thought that leads to a great interview format, josh really struck gold on this one
I’m terminally ill in my last stage of my illness. What you notice is how time moves when you see the expiration on your clock. You realize the value of how you spend your time vs how much time you have. Is this worth five seconds of my LIFE. You get really choosy about tolerances. Zero time for bullshit.
Actually it makes sense. Link is so picky that his meal is bound to be more varied and robust, since he has less to choose from, whereas Rhett wouldn’t care as much and just pick whatever he likes best.
I really love how Link's last meal is a combination of things which make him happy directly and things that make him happy because they're reminders of the happiness he's given others in the past.
why did this make me cry a little bit? watching Link be comfy and fully eat, the conversation and depth. it’s not often you hear Link without Rhett..it’s really so interesting to hear him talk without adhering to a GMM episode standard of jokes or whitt. I love this series. It’s so refreshing & reminds us that no matter how cool they are, they’re still humans, too.
I had more of an appreciation for Link over the years. His podcast with his dad “dispatchers from Myrtle Beach” is unique in that way you hear Link without Rhett. If you haven’t, you should check it out (:
Hearing someone else say they’re working on feeling satisfied with knowing they’re doing good on their own without someone else saying it makes me feel not so alone so thank you, Link.
I think they have by allowing him exposure and full creativity over mythical kitchen. He couldn’t have asked for a better gig. He’s in the realm with all the other UA-cam cooks now even doing his own “hot ones”. He’s paid well 😂❤
I know it may seem so obvious an answer but Link saying "How could it not be Christy" when asked about who he would dine with at his final meal is just so wholly beautiful.
I'd love to see Josh's fiancee on Last Meals; she was so much fun in the episode where they cooked a meal together, and it would be great to see her in this format, too!
Once more I come before you, a voice for those who don't care enough to speak their own opinion but don't mind giving a like. We need to see Sean Evans speak of his last meal, and while he's with you, Josh needs to do Hot Ones
I'm not religious anymore but hearing Link's faith really brought me back to my younger days as a youth leader in my church and I'm really happy he's content and happy with a family that loves him. Not all of us are deserving of such a life and I'm glad he is one of them.
I think Josh hit the nail on the head: Mythical avoids scandal because they don't do scandalous things. But the crucial component to that is Rhett, Link and the whole crew not just being a good group of people, they recognize their positions in the public eye and make sure they use that privilege to do good things.
Saying anything political alienates any number of segments of the population. That’s not good for business. This actually got me thinking too. I don’t get involved with anything abrasive simply because I’m not educated on those matters, and even if I was, there’s articles and people to tell me I’m wrong, and more to tell them they’re wrong. It’s so difficult to be right about anything affecting our world anymore.
@@PullStartSlayerYeah. I think everyone loves gmm as it helps in getting peace in mind. It doesn't do controversial things making people uncomfortable.
yes!! hearing Link talk about how he feels the need to just be good really made sense to me as to why people like the ones at Mythical don’t get into scandals is because they genuinely want to just be good :’)
Can you guys PLEASE have Caitlyn Doughty (of Ask a Mortician) on this show? I know that the point is to get people who maybe DON'T regularly face mortality to discuss it, but I think that the juxtaposition of a person who's career is based on facing mortality would be a really interesting perspective. Also, amazing show! I really love the concept
I can’t believe it’s possible but I like Link even more after this. What an honest and heartwarming guy. And Josh, you are an incredible interviewer with a beautiful big heart. You’re the big brother we all need.
26:24 damn Josh is a philosopher.. so beautifully put. I’m calling it now. When Rhett and link retire and try guys is over, Keith and Josh need to run this channel.
Crazy how they touched on the escapism of GMM. When my mom passed away all me and my bf could watch for like 3 months straight was GMM. It was the only think that comforted, distracted, and entertained us enough to take a break from being sad or crying and to actually smile. It was crazy
I completely understand. Been through alot of bereavement in the last 3yrs and GMM etc was the only thing I could cope with watching that would clear my mind of hurt whilst watching.
GMM and Game Grumps got me through a 3 month dissociative state, watching them was the only thing i could do to feel like I was even me at the time. It's part of why they're the only 2 youtube shows I watch literally everyday. They bring me such comfort and peace of mind, it feels almost like being with friends more than watching a show, at least brain chemistry-wise
I love that his choice of how to handle it was, "you do know that about yourself, right?" Like, "I already said it, may as well commit!" I relate to that panic response so well 😂
This is by far one of my favorite formats from Mythical Kitchen, because it's such a great way to get to know the people Josh is interviewing, and ultimately he does a great job with his questions; bravo.
You can really see why Rhett & Link are friends after this. Link is the type of person we all know, wants that validation and wants to always have the wheel to get there. He said himself that leaves you scared to make big choices because your afraid of being wrong. Rhett has such a sense of adventure that he is willing to jump headlong into that unknown or controversy. Those two sides make a better team and friendship
Josh is so much more than the goofball mythical chef. He's intelligent, insightful and all around just a likeable person... he is, in my mind just as important as Link and Rhett in the overall content given to us on GMM. I love me some Rhett and Link as well. Kudos on an excellent episode!
I loved the moment where Link was fully engrossed in getting the meat from the crab leg out in one piece. His joy over succeeding was so relatable and endearing haha
“Escapist content” is so accurate. I watch all the shows regularly but when I go through hard things I rewatch old episodes. So here I am watching this again a year later to not think about the breakup I’m going through. 😢. Thanks for always being here for me Rhett, Link, and the Mythical Crew. ❤
This is why I forced my grandpa to write down my favorite of his recipes a few years ago, so they wouldn’t die with him. He passed in September and I’m so glad I did. I haven’t tried to make any. I can’t cook or bake, but the possibility exists to try now. Though I missed some. Bless grandma’s heart, she tried to recreate some Christmas cookies of his. They were hard as rocks, but I ate some anyway.
I was lucky enough to get my dad to write down his big recipe about a year before he passed. I am grateful not just to have the recipe but to have it in his handwriting.
Try them now. You will have a better chance at recreating when the memory is still fresh. People notoriously forget what they may have added or a trick or two. It's trial and error
@@promisedjubileedaniels I very much prefer him beardless (he has a nice jaw), but he's attractive either way, tbh. Obviously he should do whatever he wants, of course (as long as Christy approves!) And no, not trying to be weird, either, lol. His devotion to her is a big part of his appeal!
I love Link and his outlook on life, this episode just made it much better to understand him. Not just as a creator but a dad, husband, and friend. He’s such a kind and thoughtful human. One of the many reasons why I love starting my weekdays with GMM ❤️
I really enjoyed this. I find myself connecting with Rhett more, especially in the way he thinks so deeply and methodically about life and existence. Rhett’s last meal was full of a lot more deep thought and Link was just here to eat food from Josh he actually likes. But it makes me appreciate not only Link as an individual but everyone else that doesn’t think in the same pattern as I do. We all analyze life differently and that’s important to how we grow as a species.
I skimmed through the comments expecting someone to say something about how vulnerable and heartwrenching 28:59 was. Anyone could tell how anxious this video made Link and when he said that I felt his peace. It was beautiful. I'm really glad he did this.
It brought tears to my eyes when Link talked about his nanny’s fried chicken and how he can never taste it again because it made me think of my grandma’s rice and her chuchitos which are like little tamales we make in Guatemala and how I will never taste that food again because it went with her. I wish I could’ve asked her or seen her make them so that I had an idea but now it is just a memory of some of the best I had or will ever have. Thank you link because although it hurt to realize this it also takes me back to the joy of that day when we ate with my grandma and how we all wanted more but there weren’t any left, just a smile on her face.
Link always has a way of grinding my gears in GMM due to his personality and control issues. After watching this, I think I realized its probably because we have personality commonalities so watching him is like watching the parts of myself I don't like. After saying that, seeing him talk about accepting his faults and his weaknesses really helped put my own thoughts together.
Do you listen to ear biscuits? I think you would like it bc link really gets more into who he really is off camera. Maybe you can relate even more to him with it lol
I love how Josh is asking the hard questions he know Link doesn't want to answer, and not quite giving up on some sort of answer right away. The whole catch-22 portion was really well done, and done by any lesser employee who doesn't want to tick off their boss, this line of questioning could have gone so differently.
I have been waiting for this ever since Rhett did his, and it's now here! Also, kind of odd having your bosses eat their last meal then going to their own funeral afterwards where they're roasted to death 😂
Again, I'd like to stress that Josh is keeping the exact amount of light-hearted yet serious, if not interested tone for these discussions. Engaging and elaborating, making the facts of death accessible for everyone. Also the very, very strong fact that death indeed is the one thing no one without exception is able to control. Yes, Josh is a goofball and I love it, but I also really appreciate the ernesty of Josh and his willingness to be open and honest and trying to make his guest comfortable. My respect for Josh just grows.
I feel fulfilled and motivated after watching this video. Sometimes this is what we need. Other times, we need the "silly as hell"/escapist content. As long as you are able to love what you do, we'll also enjoy it. It is sometimes the spectators' responsibility to be honest with themselves and ensure that the content they are clicking on is what they want to see (and kind enough not to hate on the content that is just simply not for them)
This is such an amazing series. Josh does such a great job moving from his crazy goofy personality on mythical kitchen to dealing with these heavy and deep topics but still providing some comedic relief. Amazing work 👏🏻👏🏻
Man I clicked this expecting a ton of joking around and funny moments, and while there was definitely some of that, seeing that real side of Link and his incredible answers to Joshes even better questions was amazing.
Mythical truly is one of the best companies to ever exist. I love you all so much. You have made such a lasting impact on my life and I'm so thankful for everything you do.
Crab legs are my favorite food ever, and the top of my 'last meal' list, so watching Link pull that huge crab leg perfectly out of the shell, while Josh was talking about spreading joy to the people watching.. That was a perfect moment for me.
I love this interview. I am fairly new to GMM but it has already had such an impact on my life. Especially, Link. I relate so much to him and I feel like people don’t always give him enough credit. 10/10
This really opened my eyes up. I haven't seen Link talk this deeply and truly in a long time.. talking to someone other than Rhett (ear biscuits) showed a different side to him. I've been watching for ten years and I'm surprised by aspects of this interview. Talking about death can really change things.. this conversation has opened up my eyes , as it also shows a realistic version of Link away from the GMM desk. Also makes death more real, as I have more connections to Link than past celeb guests
There needs to be a duo though. Who do you wanna pair him with? Trevor? I don't think Nicole is interested in that kind of thing. But most importantly, who would you recommend for taking over Stevie's job?
Not link agreeing to come on the show and then not wanting to think or talk about death 😂 good job Josh for getting him to actually have some things to say
I've been watching GMM for years and Link's usually bringing the funnies and the comedy. It's nice to see him on a deeper level. Also Link can totally rock a beard!
This continues to be by far the best interview show on YT, maybe all platforms. One of the few series I 100% make sure I watch all of them at least once, usually more.
I remember this episode of Bear Grills where he survived in the desert, there is this tribe there and they teach him about stuff, all in all at a point they cut open a goat's nut sack, pulls the testicle and gives them to Bear to eat it raw, the dude almost puked. Link reminded me of that goat.
Link removing the chocolate chips from chocolate chip cookies is the most Link thing ever.
I have always told my partner that chocolate chip cookie dough is my second favorite ice cream but it would be the first if it was just cookie dough ice cream but not sugar cookie cuz that different 😅😅 I feel heard and seen when the whole meal was voice overed 🤣
Brown sugar cookie
Not to mention the dog food... Even though it was suggested. Whoever that lucky MB was, thank you for that suggestion. Perfect link food 😂❤️
Sugar cookies are my favorite, but if I had chipless chocolate chip cookies idk those might win. The bites between the chips are the best part, the actual cookie part. They aren't exactly sold everywhere, and I suppose I could make them myself but I don't generally make cookies just for myself very often or I'd be much fatter than I am
I have to fight to keep a minimal amount of choc chips in cookies, pancakes, etc. at home. Choc chip people are just wrong.
After years of watching Link eat, not eat, or pick apart food he didn't like, it's almost cathartic to watch him eat foods he loves.
Seriously!
Dog food threw me off tho 😅

He looks off camera for support and says: “Friends?” Like he was wanting some help.

“Escapist content” is so accurate. I watch all the shows regularly but when I go through hard things I rewatch old episodes. So here I am watching this again a year later to not think about the breakup I’m going through. 😢. Thanks for always being here for me Rhett, Link, and the Mythical Crew. ❤
Josh “Do you have any traditions that you will pass on to your kids?” Link “pour the milk” I died.
This is why I forced my grandpa to write down my favorite of his recipes a few years ago, so they wouldn’t die with him. He passed in September and I’m so glad I did. I haven’t tried to make any. I can’t cook or bake, but the possibility exists to try now. Though I missed some. Bless grandma’s heart, she tried to recreate some Christmas cookies of his. They were hard as rocks, but I ate some anyway.
I was lucky enough to get my dad to write down his big recipe about a year before he passed. I am grateful not just to have the recipe but to have it in his handwriting.
Try them now. You will have a better chance at recreating when the memory is still fresh. People notoriously forget what they may have added or a trick or two. It's trial and error
Send me some recipes I would love to try to create them
The joy on Link's face when he cracked open the big crab leg .... that's pure joy
I just realized why I love this series so much. There is no crunching/eating noises in the sound mixing ❤🙏🏼 perfect. Thank you.
I think Link is getting better looking as he gets older.
The salt and pepper beard on Link is everything 🤌🤌🤌
He looks so good with a beard! And it compliments the silver streak in his hair too, he should do it more often
Didn't he looks like Metro Man from Megamind
I love that look. Not to be weird or anything, but it's so attractive.
yeah, like he finally hung up the Master Sword, married Zelda, and became king
@@promisedjubileedaniels I very much prefer him beardless (he has a nice jaw), but he's attractive either way, tbh. Obviously he should do whatever he wants, of course (as long as Christy approves!) And no, not trying to be weird, either, lol. His devotion to her is a big part of his appeal!
I love Link and his outlook on life, this episode just made it much better to understand him. Not just as a creator but a dad, husband, and friend. He’s such a kind and thoughtful human. One of the many reasons why I love starting my weekdays with GMM ❤️
Same!
I loved hearing Link get into deep thoughts in this episode. was fascinating absolutely.
You should listen to the Ear Biscuits Podcast he gets very deep on there
I think on GMM the crew and Rhett tend to treat Link like the village idiot, but he's really not stupid.
I really enjoyed this. I find myself connecting with Rhett more, especially in the way he thinks so deeply and methodically about life and existence. Rhett’s last meal was full of a lot more deep thought and Link was just here to eat food from Josh he actually likes. But it makes me appreciate not only Link as an individual but everyone else that doesn’t think in the same pattern as I do. We all analyze life differently and that’s important to how we grow as a species.
"I leave my cereal for THREE TO FOUR minutes to SOG UP" ????
What a maniac
I skimmed through the comments expecting someone to say something about how vulnerable and heartwrenching 28:59 was. Anyone could tell how anxious this video made Link and when he said that I felt his peace. It was beautiful. I'm really glad he did this.
Wasn't expecting the story about Christy texting and asking if Link was happy to be the thing to make me cry today, but here we are.
This is about to be the Mythical Kitchen's version Hot Ones, I can just see it blowing up at that level.
Josh is a great interviewer, and this is a genius format. Really loving the show!!!
It brought tears to my eyes when Link talked about his nanny’s fried chicken and how he can never taste it again because it made me think of my grandma’s rice and her chuchitos which are like little tamales we make in Guatemala and how I will never taste that food again because it went with her. I wish I could’ve asked her or seen her make them so that I had an idea but now it is just a memory of some of the best I had or will ever have. Thank you link because although it hurt to realize this it also takes me back to the joy of that day when we ate with my grandma and how we all wanted more but there weren’t any left, just a smile on her face.
Link always has a way of grinding my gears in GMM due to his personality and control issues. After watching this, I think I realized its probably because we have personality commonalities so watching him is like watching the parts of myself I don't like. After saying that, seeing him talk about accepting his faults and his weaknesses really helped put my own thoughts together.
Do you listen to ear biscuits? I think you would like it bc link really gets more into who he really is off camera. Maybe you can relate even more to him with it lol
That's amazingly perceptive. I hope that helps you work through some things. 💜
I find I do this with some people. They frustrate me so much because I identify with them so much. I love that you have had that insight! Good job!
Now hold on your comment might have made me realize some things
Link is the biggest party pooper but the only one that I've ever liked more than I hated.
I love how Josh is asking the hard questions he know Link doesn't want to answer, and not quite giving up on some sort of answer right away. The whole catch-22 portion was really well done, and done by any lesser employee who doesn't want to tick off their boss, this line of questioning could have gone so differently.
yessss!!! i scrolled down specifically to find a comment that echoed how I felt :D
'It's not about having the big answers, its about having the small moments." -Link Neal 2023. I need this as a shirt!!!
“I fear no man, but that thing”
*chocolate chipless cookies*
“It scares me”
Big thanks to Josh, Link and team for a wonderful interview, it really got me in a personal space, felt good.
I think it's really sweet, that one of Link's last meals would be something his Mom would make.
I have been waiting for this ever since Rhett did his, and it's now here! Also, kind of odd having your bosses eat their last meal then going to their own funeral afterwards where they're roasted to death 😂
Again, I'd like to stress that Josh is keeping the exact amount of light-hearted yet serious, if not interested tone for these discussions. Engaging and elaborating, making the facts of death accessible for everyone. Also the very, very strong fact that death indeed is the one thing no one without exception is able to control. Yes, Josh is a goofball and I love it, but I also really appreciate the ernesty of Josh and his willingness to be open and honest and trying to make his guest comfortable.
My respect for Josh just grows.
I feel fulfilled and motivated after watching this video. Sometimes this is what we need. Other times, we need the "silly as hell"/escapist content. As long as you are able to love what you do, we'll also enjoy it. It is sometimes the spectators' responsibility to be honest with themselves and ensure that the content they are clicking on is what they want to see (and kind enough not to hate on the content that is just simply not for them)
This is such an amazing series. Josh does such a great job moving from his crazy goofy personality on mythical kitchen to dealing with these heavy and deep topics but still providing some comedic relief. Amazing work 👏🏻👏🏻
This last meal is one of the weirdest ones but it also makes perfect sense. Link's mind is definitely a fascinating place 💯👽
But there is no Peanut Butter....I am SHOCKED AND CONCERNED
@@mslovelyshot now that I think about it that is indeed concerning 😱
I feel like Markiplier would be an entertaining person to have on last meal :)
+1
we all know what one of the items on the list would be... Takis Fuego. And he would probably find a way so use Taki dust on every other dish.
YESS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT
Markiplier on seriously any episode, mythical kitchen or not, him and the mythical crew need to get together!!
PLEASE NO
not only do i love link’s meal but his approach to it and his nervousness about it is so endearing😂🖤🖤🖤
Man I clicked this expecting a ton of joking around and funny moments, and while there was definitely some of that, seeing that real side of Link and his incredible answers to Joshes even better questions was amazing.
Mythical truly is one of the best companies to ever exist. I love you all so much. You have made such a lasting impact on my life and I'm so thankful for everything you do.
5:37 I’m glad he said that and some fans needed to hear that out loud. Also he looks incredible here.
I love Josh’s chaos but I love his seriousness in this series too. He’s such a great interviewer.
I'd love to see Dave Grohl on this. I feel like he would give really good conversations and answers
Have you seen Dave on Hot Ones? He totally took over the show, haha.
Crab legs are my favorite food ever, and the top of my 'last meal' list, so watching Link pull that huge crab leg perfectly out of the shell, while Josh was talking about spreading joy to the people watching.. That was a perfect moment for me.
I love this interview. I am fairly new to GMM but it has already had such an impact on my life. Especially, Link. I relate so much to him and I feel like people don’t always give him enough credit. 10/10
We need a short of Link's expression when he pulled that crab leg out of the shell. That's pure joy.
lol it almost seems like he wasnt even processing what josh was saying, so good
@@ryansyme5900 poor Josh haha! It's a great moment from the episode
Also of the happy excited for food dance that he did @8:37 ! Pure joy lol
Lol, he definitely was NOT processing what Josh was saying..He was so proud of himself in that moment 🤭
All my years watching content from Mythical Entertainment, I have never seen this side of Link. Was awesome seeing this last meal.
“I was my mythical best!” BRILLIANT!
I love how Links talking about having control and then right after drops his first bite of cereal in his coffee LMFAO
I wish Link could try his nanny’s fried chicken one more time 😢
Josh has really been able to show off his versatility and talent in this series. It's amazing how much talent the Mythical team has.
Josh his life flash before his eyes when Link said “Do I have an obsession with control?”
Link's face when he got the really big piece of crab meat made my night. Just pure joy.
Link, I admire your willingness to do the best you can in spite of not knowing the big answers. Mad respect, I hope you won't have too many worries.
Rhett and Link are two of the very few people who seem to be down to Earth despite their success and fame.
The milk slowly dripping down the unused spoon while Link started in on his profound statement was perfect
This was a great look at Link. He came off as very sincere.
This really opened my eyes up. I haven't seen Link talk this deeply and truly in a long time.. talking to someone other than Rhett (ear biscuits) showed a different side to him. I've been watching for ten years and I'm surprised by aspects of this interview. Talking about death can really change things.. this conversation has opened up my eyes , as it also shows a realistic version of Link away from the GMM desk.
Also makes death more real, as I have more connections to Link than past celeb guests
Josh seems to be the most logical choice to take over when Rett and Link are done, dude has so much energy
There needs to be a duo though. Who do you wanna pair him with? Trevor? I don't think Nicole is interested in that kind of thing. But most importantly, who would you recommend for taking over Stevie's job?
@@aishamapara4803 Stevie + Josh would work I think
He stinks
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF BRINGING JOY TO PEOPLES LIVES!!!!
I love you Link, thank you for talking with us and enjoying your particularly particular delights with these enlightening questions. Well done all !
So happy to see Link on the show! Such a good interview with him
I really appreciate Link's beard on a deep level. I want Link to know that he looks really sophisticated and cool with the beard
Hearing link talk about his issues is like hearing myself talk it’s scary 😅 but also comforting knowing someone else is so openly neurotic
Not link agreeing to come on the show and then not wanting to think or talk about death 😂 good job Josh for getting him to actually have some things to say
Love this ground breaking cross over, love seeing link and josh on the same show! Really opens up the possibilities
Link is such a wholesome guy♥️ Love him so much. Him wanting to chose Christy for his last meal is so sweet😭♥️
I've been watching GMM for years and Link's usually bringing the funnies and the comedy. It's nice to see him on a deeper level.
Also Link can totally rock a beard!
This continues to be by far the best interview show on YT, maybe all platforms. One of the few series I 100% make sure I watch all of them at least once, usually more.
Link looks SO good with a beard!!!
great beard indeed
I remember this episode of Bear Grills where he survived in the desert, there is this tribe there and they teach him about stuff, all in all at a point they cut open a goat's nut sack, pulls the testicle and gives them to Bear to eat it raw, the dude almost puked.
Link reminded me of that goat.
