Link talking about sending a picture of the cat as "conversation bait" is absolutely my mom lmao
SAME
Ditto!!
I guess I should get a dad overhaul I don't know what I've done for been hated
Same
I do that to my mom whenever I don’t know what to text her but I know that if I don’t send a text then she will text me later and ask me why I’m not texting her 🤦♀️😂❤️
Link is a wonderful father. It must feel incredible to have a dad that is so emotionally present for you and cares about you so much. Not everyone has that and it's beautiful to see 🥰
Not. Just. Dads. My mom was a nightmare. She's got two functional parents and that's rare.
Lots of us wish we had more functional parents
@@bltz1942 are you doing okay
@@BusyBusyPanda show got cancelled
@@cadesmandela1935 no 😅
It just hits different for me to hear a father talk about his relationship with his daughter . I am around the same age as Rhett and Link. I was very close to dad. I was and still am a daddy's girl. My father passed away at the age 43. I was 19. I miss him so much especially when major life moments happen. Link you are doing an awesome job. Thank you for sharing your experience. It made me smile this morning.
Dang. 43? Too young… sorry for your loss.
@@the_minimalistic_adventure Thank you. Way to young. I am now older than he was when he died.
May I hug you through the phone 🥺
@@leannamarie1318 Yes you may! Thank you 🤗
you’re so strong
Only Link would hold in his body-wrenching cries from sending his daughter off to college, then decide to walk around people's backyard in the dark, only to see a woman who means no harm squatting and peeing on the ground in public. Seriously. Only Link.
And, let’s not forget the skunk “statue”. Only Link!
😂🤣
And I love it!
🤔...🤔...(nope. Maybe he's my brother from another mother. 🤫)
"When I was crying and shaking before I saw the woman who peed and meant no harm"
Amazing sentence 😂
I can’t imagine having a dad that cares even remotely as much as Link cares about his kids. Rhett and Link are such great dads and their kids are soo lucky to have such loving and caring parents!
yep! people with two loving parents don’t even realize what they have. move people have one, or none.
same
As someone who's dad actively decided to step out of their life at 14, it really made me emotional and yearn for a relationship with a father that I don't have. You two are my dads. I've been watching gmm and listening to this for years. Thank you guys for being dads to me, without even knowing it. I love you both.
Hey Syd. Glad you've found some inspiration and phenomenal role models. Im a dude but I've formed many of my opinions on things from the discussions these two have had. You picked two good souls to listen to.
I can totally relate, my father decided to step out when I was in 7th grade. These two have definitely helped fill that void a little bit
I’m so sorry girl. You deserve better. I hope you find some happiness and are more at peace now
Loooool. Looking for dads on UA-cam.
@@gusgus420 didn't say I was.
This episode hit hard because I am Lily's age and started college this fall. Haven't felt very homesick since the emotional goodbye with my parents, but watching this made me realize how I've built up and buried my emotions since then. I'm really glad that I got to hear the parent's perspective on this from Link. Now, I'm gonna go call my parents.
watching this as a daddy’s girl who left for college a few years ago hit close. i never imagined my dad just walking into my room and standing there crying, but now i have. i cried through a lot of this episode in a good way. internet dads
Me too
I officially became an empty nester this year. It's so emotional at first. I cried for weeks. Then I saw the water bill and the light bill and I was over it 😂🤣 Seriously though I miss my kid but I am enjoying having my husband and my house to myself. It's a new chapter and it is also wonderful.
I was wondering that XD I'm disabled and still live with my parents - I've always felt bad staying past 18 because I _know_ they must want to be alone!
@@hello-jy9hf there is a good side and a bad side to her being gone. Alot a days I wish she was still here. We miss her. But we love having the alone time etc. There are things your parents love about you still living at home. I still have a room at my house for my daughter cause majority of children have to return home at least once in their lives. Don't feel guilty. Your parents definitely sleep good at night knowing where u are and that you are safe. 💕
One of the hardest cries I’ve had to an ear biscuits in a while. Knowing that I’ll never have this adult relationship with either of my parents is heartbreaking, but listening to Link talk about it makes me feel so happy for him and his kids and the fact that they have this strong of a connection
Ugh I can understand your pain
Agreed!
Agreed!
that peeing woman saying: 'i mean no harm, im just a woman' gives me vibes of an angel saying: 'do not be afraid my child'
While looking like a freaking monster out of your worst nightmares
😂😂😂💀
More like an alien pissin after a long trip throughout the galaxy and finally getting a chance to pee. "we come in piss, we mean no harm"...(Duh dun tss)
Link and Rhett are doing a lot better job parenting than my parents did with me. I think the work Link and Rhett put into growing as people and looking at their own behaviour makes them better parents. My parents’ generation (the Silent Generation) generally never addressed any of their issues and just passed the trauma on.
@@asstaco how is that shitty or ungrateful? if your parents did a shit job, your parents did a shit job. you don’t know what their parents did to make them feel this way
@@asstaco How do you know that their parents aren’t in fact shitty?
you saying link and rhett is trippin’ me up lol
Preaaach lol
@@asstaco your comment holds so much ignorance.
My dad cried crocodile tears every time he came and put food into my fridge. The man made me monthly freezer supplies of my favorite soups. That’s what makes my heart twinge hearing this episode because it makes me think of my dad.
Bless your dad. He's taking care of you the way he can now. Thats beautiful
Does crocodile tears mean something different in the states? Genuinely curious, because it means fake tears in the UK so i was really confused for a hot second when i read this lol 😂
@@Smorans Crocodile tears means fake tears or manipulative tears in the US too lol
The whole Ryan Reynolds tangent just had me rolling, especially as the mom to a one-going-on-two year old. 🤣
as a daughter who just moved into college this fall, i teared up at this because my relationship with my dad is so strangely similar to Link and Lily's. im also an older sister to a younger brother, the first to move out of home, i have a similar friendship with my dad, am in the same stage of figuring out the new dynamic with my family... hearing what my dad's side of the story was probably like, and drawing similarities between my entire move in experience and Link's story, was just so powerful and helpful in processing the stage im in. it made me think about, appreciate and empathise with my dad so much... i loved this episode. thank you for being so vulnerable Link!
Imagine having parents that care this much. Can't relate.
You have friends tho! 😊😊
@@isaiahmorris4531 Sad to say I don't 😅
mood
@@lauralanthalasa7 You have Internet strangers though!
Link is such a wonderful dad. No wonder he and his kids have such a good relationship.
YOU MUST HAVE REALLY LOW STANDARDS AS TO WHAT A GOOD FATHER IS. HE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF HER CHILDHOOD CHASING HIS OWN NARCISSISTIC FAME AND WEALTH. HANGING OUT WITH GIRLS HALF HIS AGE AT “WORK” WITH JUST ENOUGH TIME TO COME HOME EAT AND PASS OUT. THE FACT YOU THINK YOU CAN JUDGE A RELATIONSHIP BASED OFF A SMALL HANDFUL OF INTERNET VIDEOS IS ALSO EXTREMELY COMICAL. MONEY IS NOT LOVE.
I love how Link is always unapologetically weird. He knows it and he owns it. Good for him!
Rhett’s T-shirt!!!! omg the series was SO much fun, to those who haven’t seen their recent Tiktoks, you absolutely have to watch it guys, that was a rollercoaster!
It was SO good!
Came here to comment this!!!
I left for university a year ago, being 4 hours away from home, and I am excited to hear the story from a parent's side.
I'm just about 30 and I still call my mom like every other day just to say hi. And it'll never stop. Moving out was the hardest thing ever. Unlike link, my mom couldn't hold it together as I was leaving for my flight to be officially moved out. But it's awesome hearing the perspective of a parent on their kid moving out. Great podcast guys!
Don’t feel bad for your mom, she gets move on to her own adventures now. At first it will be scary but then she’ll embrace it.
Why
I call my mom every day too and I’m 33…I think she’s starting to get tired of it /j 😂
@@Sevren_ what? because he's not a dumbass who ignores his parents?
Not me only having toddlers bawling my eyes out at Links’s daughter going to college podcast. 😭😭😭
this is so sweet. i come from an unemotional family so it's really sweet to hear how this is from a more emotionally healthy family.
My dad passed away at 43 so Rhett turning 44 is making me have a lot of feelings lol. Happy belated birthday 😊💛
Sorry about your loss friend, I’ll be sending you a big virtual hug
Geez, I'm so sorry for your loss
Your dad would want you to live life to fullest in memory of him
Thank you so much for the kind words everyone 🥺 love this community 🥰
I’m so incredibly sorry. Your father lives on within you. Your souls can not be separated
Link is the kind of dad everyone deserves.
It’s the weeks when the podcast is emotional where the UA-cam version is enlightening. I either laugh or cry harder with them.
You're a very good father Link. My father didnt give a fig when I moved out. It's been upsetting for me to learn in my adulthood how much my father doesnt care about me. And it hurts to see how much other fathers love and care about their children...
I feel you
I moved out at 15. The first time I came home 6 months later my bedroom had been turned into a ping pong room for my brothers. I slept on the couch. I almost never went home again. Even now, I speak to my parents maybe every few months for less than 5 minutes. I have 4 kids of my own, and they will never know this kind of parental indifference. No matter who they grow into, what they're interests are, they will always have a parent, friend, advisor, shoulder to cry on, active listener and more in me.
My 19yo son moved 9 hours away for college in May, and bless him, he calls me every day while he's making supper. He's an only child and this empty nest thing is suuuuper weird. This pod has definitely kept me going!
Our oldest granddaughter went to Boston university when we live in Tennessee. So we understand the missing of them. After she graduated she went to work in DC for a year, than 2 years in South Korea. Now she’s living back home here with us.
lol. There is no doubt who the parents of Link and Christy's children are. They're miniature versions of their parents and it's adorable.
A person on the internet using all versions of the "T" word correctly?! How'd you do it?
I feel the cry in his voice link was holding back 🥰😭
Not me with my daddy issues, absolutely sobbing this whole episode. 😭😭
This was amazing. I am close to my father, we shared a moment in life that could have been horrible. We were in a terrible car accident a few years ago and we are lucky to be alive. In that moment we have never been closer. I was worried about him, not myself but him. And he was worried about me. And when we finally got to see each other after what felt like hours we just cried and held hands. So hearing you say this just brought all of that back for me. So thank you for this.
This podcast just reminded me how I’ve basically grown up with you guys. Started watching at around age 15 and your content got me through high school, I continued to watch in uni. Got me through my first proper breakup after a terrible relationship, got me through my first proper job after Uni, got me through lockdown. And now I’m 23 I’ve moved out of home, working full time and I still enjoy your content. I feel like your podcasts, videos and life stories have honestly given me the biggest but also loveliest parasocial relationship where I feel like you’re my wise funny uncles or dads friends. Love you guys like great family friends.
Sitting here holding my 3 month old and sobbing about having to one day let him go. I hope our relationship will always be as healthy as yours and Lilly’s
Bring out the tissues for these emotional podcast
I'm so thankful for the ear biscuits when Rhett and Link talk about being dads. Especially this one. I have a very strained relationship with my father, in part due to the way he was raised not to show emotions, to never talk about and express himself. And it only got worse after his father died unexpectedly a few years ago because it was such a profound loss. I'm so grateful that I get to listen to these men talk about how they work on themselves and the relationships they have with others.
Thank you Rhett and Link for being such great dads. Especially Link and how you treat your daughter... I never had that growing up and I never will since my dad left when I was 2 and my brothers were 2 months old and has now passed away in 2018. My grandpa was more of a father and I will love him forever for that.. It's sorta therapeutic and makes me feel like there are still wonderful men in this world and there are still dads that care. Have a lovely week, everyone. 💜
I just realized why I like this new Ear biscuits format.It reminds me of close friends sitting around the kitchen table discussing life and figuring stuff out.Its intimate and really quite helpful.
I can totally relate to how link is feeling! My oldest son (22) is moving out in the next few weeks and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it him not being here in the house any longer ( he is not moving far) and we are very close and I know I'm gonna be a wreck when it finally happens I cry just thinking about it but I know it's a part of life for your children to move on from their parents like we all have but I know I'm gonna miss him so much
aside from me crying about their father daughter relationship which everyone is already talking about it, i also think its sweet that rhett just listened for most of this episode
This was an emotional episode! I remember being dropped off at college years ago by family. It was very tender and tearful. Now I am thankful that I felt so much love for and from my family, even if it was hard to say goodbye.
This made me relive my college send off and reprocess those emotions (especially leaving a cat behind for the duration and an emotional younger brother goodbye)
I lost my dad this past January at the age of 52. This episode made me feel so many things. I love you guy so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing Link! From Ryan Reynolds, the skunk, to the woman who meant no harm and the crying shaking. Also watched the GMMore where you shared about the tattoo that you both have, truly special 💛
i cried..thank you for sharing Link.
wishing her the best
Up to one month ago this old gal had no idea who you were....now I'm enjoying your podcasts..good job digging in and learning about yourselves....at almost 81 the journey continues...glad we're in touch.
Oh man, link is such a good father. I’m just 20 but I’m so proud of him. And I would love to be a parent like link ❤️
Crying in my daddy issues, good to know there are actually good dads out there.
Totally right!
I have nothing new to add to these comments, but it's heartwarming to listen to Link talk about connecting with his kids. My dad was a POS, and I always felt as if he was annoyed by me, he scared me. Its wonderful to know that, hopefully, most dad's are like Link. It's lovely.
This was an amazing episode and I cried a lot. 😭 I'll understand how my mom will feel when I move in with my boyfriend, cause I've been living at home my whole life so far. Knowing this is how my mom is gonna feel makes me really sad.
That moment Link is talking about with the body rocking cry that you know is in there... oof
Being 24 it’s great to hear a father’s perspective on this
The horrortok series was sooo good! I’ve had Take My Place on repeat since yesterday. I really hope Yearning becomes a full album, because dang folk works so well with your singing voices and harmonizing.
Link, the reason your bike doesn't come with pedals is that they are generally expecting you to have a preference in pedal type. It's so you can choose clips, flats or one of the various types of clipless. It's such a common thing for people to immediately replace on proper mountain bikes that you'll find most manufactures will either give you no pedals, or if they do they will be these god awful $5 plastic things that break in a couple of weeks. So even the bikes that come with pedals the intention is still for you to change them to what you want. If a bike shop even suggests they are going to charge you to swap pedals or that they are doing you some kind of favour for doing so they are charlatans...it takes literally 10 seconds and it's part of what the shop should be doing as a pre-sale service.
Still, it's wild and unexpected for a good old N. Carolina boy, hehe. I get it. Venturing into new territories, lol...
My first one went off to uni in 2013. I was an emotional wreck for months leading up to that day and for months after, even though she was only moving a couple of hours away. Two years later my second one left for uni, again only a couple of hours away (but in a different direction) and I was a LITTLE better prepared emotionally but still a wreck the day of the move and after. Another two years later my baby flew the coop in a BIG way, she moved to the other side of the WORLD. We live in California, she moved to Perth in western Australia. That was extremely difficult. That was four years ago and it’s still not easy! The oldest is now in Med school in Wisconsin and my “baby” moved from Australia to the Netherlands. Thankfully, my second child, who almost moved Japan, ended up coming back home to help me out. It’s somehow comforting and heart warming to hear about other parents’ experiences. Thank you for sharing
I’m a young 37 dude and I cried when I went to college and grad school.
Link, as a college senior that remembers how hard it was to let my parents go that first day, I am so glad you let her reach out when she wanted to. Eventually when her university begins to feel like home, she'll call and tell you everything about her day. She just needs to get over the hump of being there and falling in love with it. Sending love, especially now that it has been a few months.
I have done the same thing, standing in their room, missing them and wishing they were here.
My oldest daughter went 6 hours away to school (go Slugs) and my youngest daughter goes to college in NYC. We live in California. It crushed/crushes me every time I hug them goodbye. I’m always crying at the airport. Hugs.
I'm a sophomore in college and my dad intentionally lets me know that he has no interest in my life at school, including when I moved in. It is honestly healing to hear how men can be caring and supportive of their daughters. This is the sweetest thing ever :)
At 19, my first move away from home was to a completely new continent 7,700km away. All of my international friends always say how much they miss their parents and how much their parents miss them, but my parents don't seem to care lmao. This episode makes me ponder what they are thinking internally
I think culture has a lot to do with it. I moved away for college and my parents were sad but not to this extent because I think in our culture the big move happens when you fully move out (usually marriage but not always). Even though I have lived away from home for all 4 years of college and probably will for the rest of my education, home still feels like home because the majority of my stuff is still there lol. I think other cultures might put more emphasis on the other stage that link mentioned, at least for my culture.
In some cultures our expressions of emotions are different
Link's oldest son looks so much like him and his dad.
🤣
Hearing Link talk about his feelings of missing his daughter and her going away to college reminds me of my dad talking to me about how when I moved away from home right after college, he had a hard time adjusting to me not being so close to home anymore. I make sure to let him know how I am as often as possible while also asking him how he and my mom are doing. Our communication together has gotten so much stronger with the distance but we always make time to talk!
Your daughter will do great and will learn who she is as a person! All you gotta do is support her and be there for her. And be honest with how you’re feeling cause any daughter wants to hear how their dad is doing!
I'm so glad, that there is comic relief during the sad moments... I was in tears, until Jasper shit in Lily's room
Link is such an amazing father. 🥺
I spy a new shirt from their spookyTikTok, the album Yearning by (Hazel) and Macon Brothers ......aka Rhett and Link!
Excited to hear more next week!
You guys DID trick us!
This was such an amazing video. I was on the other side of this when I went off to college, and it felt like I had left my best friend behind when I left my mom. Saying this episode made me emotional is an understatement. Thank you for being such an amazing father ❤️
All their kids look just like Christy lol
At the age of 28 I moved back in with my parents for two years. I was already married and brought my husband and newborn with me LOL. You never know when the kids are going to come home.
There is no sweeter sound than the Gibson and Martin. My Dad had them both. Old school. His were from the 60's. Listening to him play them in the 90's was amazing. I wish I still had them. He found his favorite Martin in a pawn shop in Alabama.
This was so incredibly sweet to listen to. Link, you are a wonderful father! I wish everyone could have a dad such as you. My college move in day went NOTHING like this (I am also the oldest daughter) because I do not have a good relationship with my parents. This episode made me tear up multiple times listening to you talk about just how much you love your daughter.
I wish these guys were on Cameo. My husband got me a Cameo from Sean Astin (my birthday buddy!) for our anniversary last year during the pandemic. It was so sweet and meaningful. Best gift ever. Rhett, Link, please go on Cameo!
Thank you all for sharing your experiences, so much.
Aww..I really love you guys. I have 2 friends I grew up with, but the bond you have is so special with how you've bonded as best friends, co-workers and blend your families to be so close. Man that is amazing. I hope your children continue the legacy when you retire.
Been watching u guys for years and I didnt realize how many parallels there were between ya'll and ur kids and me and my own dad. Having gone to college onlne during the pandemic I havent had an emotional send off yet, but when I do move out i'm sure itll be as tough for my own dad. Thats how close we are and i'm greatful for that more than anything :')
I have an 8 and 12 year old. Definitely made me think of children’s future, love these ear biscuits. Not having many friends, sundays make me think I do 😂 ❤️
I cried some saying goodbye to my son when we dropped him off at University (We were all ready for him to move out), I made it to the parking lot after helping my daughter move into her dorm because I lost it and started sobbing.
I cackled and cried so many times.
Aww congratulations!!! 🎊🎉
Rhett's right. Taylor is for sure a worship leader guitar.
As someone with a Taylor, you aren’t that far off
The fact that Rhett was wearing a Yearning tshirt for this 🤯
My daughter is 1 right now and I have those thoughts about her going off to college someday and all the emotions that are gonna follow. Then I tell myself I’m crazy for thinking that way…because I have so much time! Nice to hear others can relate. Listening to Link talk about it as he’s going through it is so eye opening to me. Time really does goes by so fast and before I know it, I’ll be in his shoes too
Honestly the most heart warming thing that I have heard. ❤❤❤
gonna leave this podcast for when i need a good cry - can tell this will be a massive tear-jerker! 😥
Very much so!
My husband bought his 18th guitar yesterday Gibson Les Paul standard 1950’s style 2020. He’s spoiled
I LOVED the Hazel videos. Thank you guys for that. You tricky tricky devils you! 😊
Taylor being the Christian guitar was absolutely true in my experience
I really enjoyed this episode. I moved into college in 2012 and I had the HARDEST time transitioning to that place. I moved back home the next year. But I remember move in day so clearly. My whole family was wearing sunglasses too but not in disguise- to hide the tears. I find myself crying now just thinking about it. Felt the same when I moved to my first apartment. But I did not do a formal goodbye that day. But still a lot of emptiness missing my family and my dog. Thank you for sharing.
as a teenager with a very pretty bad relationship with her parents, i know i will cry when i move out in a couple months. but i probably won’t come back as much as they would like and will cut off most contact with them. i wish a relationship as happy and communicative as links relationship with his kids.
Rhett and Link are the mom I wish my mom was. It’s beautiful listening to you you guys, mom
Rhett, Link. It's really nice to see this side of you guys. Y'all both so humble. 💛
Thanks guys 💛🙏🏾
I've already listened to this days ago on spotify but am still watching the youtube version for some reason
Its just the rules, you have to watch the visual version
Lily's in COLLEGE now??? That makes me feel so old even though I also started college this year lmao
“Oh my freak, it’s a skunk” made me LOL
I connect with my dad mostly through music, we text each other songs which also helps us keep in touch with how we each are going.
The Survivor cameo send off sounds super cool, plus Hobbits epic!!!
It’s truly amazing to see how aware and intelligent Rhett and Link are…I don’t know how else to put it but there’s something very surprising and impressive about it to me.
seems like most parents love their kids but not like them, but link and his kids really seem to be friends as much as family
