Wait a minute. Was Lewis the real Forrest Gump? Randomly placed at historic events. Lover of long distance running. A genuine "southerner" with a heart of gold. Thank you Lewis for your service both military and civilian. Good, good, good.
I know you have probably heard this a million times but I'm so sorry for your loss Link, I could tell he was a wonderful man from how you have described him. May he rest in peace.
I did NOT think it was possible for me to love and respect Link anymore than i already had....this just blew me away...what a beautiful soul...RIP to your beloved moms husband, May his memory be a blessing.
I mean already, your legacy is millions of strangers across the globe with encyclopedic knowledge of your entire lives up until this point , and thats something that few people ever have
Yeah millions of people like me have seen you two grow up on camera, with very little filters, knowing you guys more honestly than anyone else in media to date. So much footage of your friendship playing games on GMM to more behind the scenes stuff in this podcast. You would have to do something really crazy to tarnish your legacy.
Link, so sorry for your and your mom’s loss. But you are so mature and handled it great. It brought up memories of when my father passed. Same kinda stuff happened.
LOL. Someone just said Link is mature! Seriously though, I know what you mean. And agree fully, as much as I can possibly think of Link and "mature" in the same space. I think it's a matter of, he knows how to adult appropriately when he must, and he did so beautifully.
Im sincerely sorry for your family's loss, Link. My uncle passed a month ago due to health complications as well, and my grandma will be gone 2 years this June. I'm still navigating my grief and loss, its a lot within 2 years. Navigating it all pretty much by myself, but I'm pushing through I guess... I hope this doesn't weigh heavy on your heart for too long, it sounds like you had a good time with Lewis and I think its important to embrace that and think of those good times as much as possible.
I have several friends who died in their 20s and I really wish we had more video of them talking about literally anything. Audio too. Writing was special to find but this existing, as is, is profoundly special too. Including your dynamic. Two of my friends who died were very good friends with each other. Having more of this for them documented would be life changing now. Thanks for this, ya’ll.
Thank you for sharing Link. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn about the life of your "father in-law". Its such a privilege to have been a long time viewer and an even greater privilege to be able to celebrate his life along with you guys. I too, will not look at the Washington monument the same. & As someone who's experienced an extreme amount of loss over the past year, this podcast was extremely beneficial to listen to. I found comfort in the topics discussed, especially since my spiritually has shifted since these losses. As always, thanks guys.
I didn't heard this biscuit yet, but I will still say that yes, your great-grandkids will watch your videos. Not for the jokes and stuff, but to learn more about you. It's like you watching some old b/w photos of your ancestors that you never met. It's link to the past.
Hearing that Link's "father-in-law" wrote that magically after his divorce his allergies got better made my jaw drop because the same thing happened to me after my divorce.
I'm thinking how cool it would be to have say, a great grandparent that was a silent film star, and being able to go back and watch those and say "my ancestor made these, and had a huge part in the history of film" that's sort of how your great grandkids will feel, knowing they're decended from the first generation of Internet star, even if they never met you in person. Thats a very cool legacy
Hey Link, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Lewis. I remember you mention him in a GMM video (a Pumpkin Spice one if I'm not mistaken). He sounded like a cool guy.
I’d love to leave genuine videos for my descendants, such cross-generational communication and understanding is something I’m sad I’ll never experience. All I have are broken stories of great grandparents, old pictures of people long forgotten, and historical records. I know them on a factual basis. However with my descendants, man would it be cool for some kid in 2300 to hear his ancestor speak, tell stories of their world, etc. What a gift.
My condolences to you and your family. It sounds like Lewis was a really great guy! I'm glad you found his memoir; reading through it is such a special way to commemorate him and I hope you'll continue to look back at it for years to come. ❤
Sad to hear about Lewis. Much love to Link and his family. As for my legacy, I started a blog in 2001 and wrote my life's story then documented the arrival of my kids with stories from our lives. Maybe they will look back fondly one day when I'm gone.
Link, this was a beautiful tribute to Lewis. My sincere condolences to your Mom, you and your family. He sounds like a wonderful man. I hope you'll share a photo of Lewis. Rhett looks like he's in physical pain. Hope he's ok.
i watch mostly for comfort. Think i started watching you guys since i was 10 now currently 22 years old. You are my UA-cam dads and i will always cherrish you two. Thanks for creating.
When I was about 20yrs old, sophomore in college, I started keeping a diary. I'm now 25 and I'm still doing it. I have filled up many notebooks, hundreds and hundreds of pages. (Maybe thousands.) I do this as a form of therapy and to keep track all the things that have happened to me. But it is also my way of leaving my legacy. I hope my family reads my diaries after I'm gone.
thank you Rhett for the rec! my husband & our 13yr old son LOVE trying out new hot sauces! I can't wait to see if they like it as much as u do! Link, I'm very sorry for your loss & I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts & prayers 🙏 💜🫂
I’m so sadden to hear this news Link! Prayers for your mom and family. I hate that your mom has to go through this. Link, I am glad you got to be there for your mom. When my dad died suddenly I made sure I was always there for my mom, and I still am.
Link, I lost my dad unexpectedly to a drunk driver in 2009. I wish I had a "playlist" to hear and watch his stories told by him. Rest assured, it would never be overwhelming.
I have to say, having any written words, or even a recording from someone you love would be amazing. We always tried to get my grandparents to write things down - or kick ourselves for not recording when they told stories. Alas, it never happened. But what a treasure to have! ❤️
Incredibly uplifting and it's also a very important lesson to love yourself first because beauty comes inside the heart ❤️ your probably being watched by him and you can see Lewis in the clouds saying to you that he's proud and someone who is a inspiration
We are all destined to fall into the void and be forgotten. There is nothing wrong with that foolish desire to scream “I was here!” Even if the echo is short lived
What a lovely episode. I am so sorry for your loss and your mom's loss, Link. Lewis has a really incredibly legacy and I am so happy that his family and loved ones have a written record of his life (in his own words!) to remember him by. Makes me want to document my mom and dad's stories as well :) Hug your loved ones
Condolences to your mom, you, and your family. I really enjoyed listening to your insightful thoughts about legacy and death. Thank you for sharing your father in law's Time Line with us, it was so touching! Reminds me of how my grandpa wrote 3-4 books about his life and stories. I am grateful that I will have physical copies of his life and stories that I can read and share with future generations. Story telling is so important to understanding your bloodline and who came before you. I cherish it ♥
The connection of the digital footprint we leave behind and our legacy after death is a fascinating subject. Most of us leave so much behind on social media alone that some services already impement features for your demise. I know Facebook got stuff going on where you can already set up what happens with your profile when you die.
I love the death and after your gone talk the most. Hope to see more of it. We all wonder what happens after death. It’s something everyone has in common.
I'm actually planning to do something crazy at the end of my life. Not CRAZY crazy, but I'd hate to die in hospital bed after years of dementia and complete helplessness at the age of 90+ ("thanks" to modern medical care). It sounds nightmarish. I'd prefer to go on a journey without return. See some places, enjoy the scenery and die on a hike or something like that. I also like how my grandfather died. He had sudden burst of energy in the morning (as my grandma told) and was working in his garden until noon, got winded a bit, sat on the bench to catch a breath and died. Nothing special I guess, but that's near perfect death.
It's kinda crazy but you guys decided to post this video 2 days before my best friends 1 year anniversary of her passing. She was 28. I miss her so much but I know she is with me and showing me signs every day that she is ok. ☮️&❤️ I am sorry for your loss 😇
Sorry you all had to say goodbye. It’s wonderful that Lewis wrote some of his thoughts and stories down for you. Quite a gift. May he rest in peace. ♥️
Link's words around minute 5 when he talks about his mom's husband hit home HARD for me... I have always been looked down at by my family because I refuse to call him my dad and/or stepdad; I have sometimes said stepdad in settings where the explanation is not worth it, but I generally refer to him as my mom's husband. That's what he is to me, but it doesn't mean that I don't have love or appreciation for him. He has been there for me in ways my dad never was, and I will always appreciate that, but I just can't get myself to call him my dad. Thank you for helping me feel heard, Link !!
I definitely listen to you guys for "comfort". Might sound weird, but I use Ear Biscuits as my "sleep stories". I put it on at night and I'm out within 20min which is rare for me. It's not at all that this is boring. I've just been watching you guys for so long, that listening to you guys talk is just comforting and calming. (dont worry... I go back and listen to the whole thing the next day lol). Thanks for your positive impact on me and so many others.
As to WHY we should leave information, stories, images behind: Indeed, we are now able to leave more than anyone can consume; but the value is that, in that whole pile of memorial detritus, will be that ONE nugget - the answer to that ONE curiosity my great grandson has. This one document from Lewis was enough that now, even I a total stranger appreciate who he was. I kinda miss Lewis now.
I am happy that your Mom found someone who truly made her happy. Sad that he was gone so soon. I too am divorced with an only son your age but have not been that lucky in love yet. She gives me hope.
I lost my grandfather a week ago and I’m still trying to process that. Link, your story helped me a lot. Thank you Rhett and link ,you help so many people and might not even fully know it.
Rhett's point about the Christian funeral evangelizing thing is a big one for me. The pastor did that at my mom's funeral and she wasn't religious, which really pissed me off.
Honestly a lot of pastors get put in a hard place because the family or deceased request evangelizing. My dad's a pastor and has had very specific phrasing requests from the deceased when they were living. Not saying that's the case all of the time, but just another point of view.
I'm so sorry for you loss, Link. It sounds like you really looked up to him. Also, the term that's for a stepparent that has stepped up and where stepmom/stepdad leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth, the term that most people use is Bonus. So Bonus Mom, Bonus Dad, Bonus kid, etc.
I’ve always enjoyed your stories about Lewis, especially his catchphrase. One of my favourite Ear Biscuits to revisit is the thanksgiving when he and your mother were invited to your father’s for dinner and he gave the meal his seal of approval with that catchphrase. After hearing Chase’s dad on GMM this week, I thought about how much fun it would be to hear Lewis say a dart throw was “good, good, good!” It was shortly after that I heard this Ear Biscuit. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive through these stories. We could all use a little more “good, good, good”.
I just wanna say that we will be watching until you decide to retire and beyond! You will definitely have active mythical beasts at the end of your life. I still re-watch GMM episodes from years and years ago, and I'm sure that I will be doing it for a looooong time!
The one thing about y'alls legacy is that we all quote you guys in daily basis. Just the other day I referenced Chuck Testa. People will be carrying you guys on their minds long after you're gone. That's a fact.
I went to my grandfather's funeral on the 1st of April, and the pastor there definitely switched to "sermon service" after a short talk about the family he left behind.
your podcast about how to deal with imminent death helped me process my moms passing a few years ago, thank you for that, and very sorry to hear about Lewis passing, condolences to your mother, hopefully she'll have enough support around her 🥀
I hope your great great grandkids watch your shows. If for no other reason than that would mean people and the Earth lasted at least another 100 or so years.
My mom passed after having a stroke, then catching COVID. Her body was already weak from the stroke and COVID just pummeled it further. She did end up beating covid, but lost all mobility and cognition and was in hospice care for a year before her body finally gave out. When people say "Oh, it only affects old sick people." don't take into consideration how much people suffer before they die from this virus and how much their family suffers. We couldn't visit her and could only have scheduled Skype/virtual visits for 15 minutes at a time for over a year. We could not be there when she took her final breaths, to hug her or say goodbye. Please get vaccinated if you give any fvcks about other human beings and your family. Happy Mother's Day.
i've been watching gmm since like 2012 when they said they're not allowed to talk about justin bieber and this is the first time i'm listening to ear biscuits. because i can't sleep. hope this is a good one boys
Sorry for your loss link. You literally made me think about what I'm leaving behind. I have four kids and it scares me to think what I've done in my past might affect them.
Lewis sounds like such a wonderful storyteller and writer, and it sounds like he lived such a colorful, although I don't think that turn of phrase quite sums it up, life.
So great to hear Link express himself as much as he did this episode. Usually this podcast leans toward Rhett's egocentric yammering getting the lion's share.
Remember you are currently always passing away and are currently in the throwes of death. Since birth. Come in, and know me better man! As they say in Stairway to Heaven "In the Long Run They'res Time to Change the Road You're On"
I will say if you're ever at a funeral and the pastor starts evangelizing, don't be too quick to place that burden all on them. They are sometimes obligated by what the family or especially the deceased one requests. As a pastor my dad's had specific phrasing, preaching styles, and passages requested. It can be hard to deny requests from a terminal or aging congregation member, especially when it's a deathbed conversation.
Caught some of your show on food network lastnight before I went to work, My parents were watching and I was like "hey I know them!" then proceeded to tell them I watch you all on UA-cam. pretty interesting show. I don't think I'd try that onion ice cream 😂 I'll pass. I also noticed most of your taste testers were a part of the mythical crew, I found that a bit odd but cool to see them a part of the show aswell. I'd definitely watch more if I catch it on TV!
I HATE when people make funerals a church service. I get relating it to the deceased being with God now but don't try and convert people with a funeral service. I relate to this so hard.
Wait a minute. Was Lewis the real Forrest Gump? Randomly placed at historic events. Lover of long distance running. A genuine "southerner" with a heart of gold. Thank you Lewis for your service both military and civilian. Good, good, good.
Lmao

Thanks for sharing your "Father-in-Law's" memoire. It inspires me to write down my own memories for my family to share.
"What's it called, an anagram?"
"An acrostic"
"An acrostic, not an anagram. He didn't worship Satan."
"That's a pentagram"
Congratulations, you can copy speech to text. So bold and original of you.
I read this comment exactly when that part happened 😮😂

Hearing that Link's "father-in-law" wrote that magically after his divorce his allergies got better made my jaw drop because the same thing happened to me after my divorce.
Perhaps the problem wasn't pollen....but you were both allergic to your exes.
i bet it was an allergy to their soap or perfume or something like that
@@Goldi-Luc That's a thought, but growing up I had terrible allergies as well.

When people say "Oh, it only affects old sick people." don't take into consideration how much people suffer before they die from this virus and how much their family suffers. We couldn't visit her and could only have scheduled Skype/virtual visits for 15 minutes at a time for over a year. We could not be there when she took her final breaths, to hug her or say goodbye.
Please get vaccinated if you give any fvcks about other human beings and your family. Happy Mother's Day.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine having to go through something like that with a loved one. I hope you are doing well❤️
Sorry to hear, may she rest in peace.
“Happy happy happy. Thank you Lord!” Don’t care what you believe. That’s a goal.
I was so excited to hear the Marie Sharp Rec this week ❤️ Happy to hear that you’ve found the best hot sauce in the world

i've been watching gmm since like 2012 when they said they're not allowed to talk about justin bieber and this is the first time i'm listening to ear biscuits. because i can't sleep. hope this is a good one boys
this is crazy because they’re actually in the national archives
Sorry for your loss link. You literally made me think about what I'm leaving behind. I have four kids and it scares me to think what I've done in my past might affect them.
My husband’s children call me their Bonus Mom. I think you could use that, Link ❤️ I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
I just hope your grandkids see you how the millions of people who watch/listen to y’all see you
Gotta have grandbabies first and so sorry to hear about the loss 😢 f Lewis. No more "good good good"😭
The business man and the boy 🔥😊♥️
These videos are awesome!

Rhett has never looked hotter
Lewis sounds like such a wonderful storyteller and writer, and it sounds like he lived such a colorful, although I don't think that turn of phrase quite sums it up, life.
this made me cry
Link, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you cared about him 💖
I'm 26 mins in & this is a great episode. 👍
So great to hear Link express himself as much as he did this episode. Usually this podcast leans toward Rhett's egocentric yammering getting the lion's share.
Remember you are currently always passing away and are currently in the throwes of death. Since birth. Come in, and know me better man! As they say in Stairway to Heaven "In the Long Run They'res Time to Change the Road You're On"
Luis is on the level of nifty'ness as the Former Connecticut State Archaeologist Nick Bellantoni
I will say if you're ever at a funeral and the pastor starts evangelizing, don't be too quick to place that burden all on them. They are sometimes obligated by what the family or especially the deceased one requests. As a pastor my dad's had specific phrasing, preaching styles, and passages requested. It can be hard to deny requests from a terminal or aging congregation member, especially when it's a deathbed conversation.
Caught some of your show on food network lastnight before I went to work, My parents were watching and I was like "hey I know them!" then proceeded to tell them I watch you all on UA-cam. pretty interesting show. I don't think I'd try that onion ice cream 😂 I'll pass. I also noticed most of your taste testers were a part of the mythical crew, I found that a bit odd but cool to see them a part of the show aswell. I'd definitely watch more if I catch it on TV!
you two should try peyote or shrooms. that ego problem will go away imo 🌱
Sending you loving and healing thoughts Link 🥺 Just a suggestion but would toxic masculinity/stoicism be a topic that would interest y’all?
my condolences to Lewis's family and friends
Love it
I HATE when people make funerals a church service. I get relating it to the deceased being with God now but don't try and convert people with a funeral service. I relate to this so hard.
Lewis's book should be titled "My Blood is Thicker Than Play-Doh"
yes this episode made me think do I want to leave a legacy? no I'd rather move for myself and have the best experience I can have
I saw Rhett’s hair in the thumbnail and thought he lost a bet with a lawn mower.
So sorry for your and your mom's loss. May Lewis RIP. As far as my plans for the future without me and my legacy plan. I plan to leave no trace.
Good Mythical Mourning
Im so sad to hear about your father in law Link. I hope you and your family are well
One of the most important things I’ve learned about losing a loved one is grieving properly.
It wasn't about Marie Sharp's? Cause it is the best.
