I’m Link, and my last meal would be a breakfast flight with coffee, crab legs, Smash Patty Double Burger, Indian food, my mom’s country style steak and gravy with mashed potatoes and le sueur garden peas and crescent rolls, gooey chocolate chipless cookies, dry dog food, a bottle of Topo Chico and Mello Yello in a can. Oh, and something that challenges the kitchen team and pops. Everybody has exactly two things in common. We all eat and we’re all gonna die. Link Neal, welcome to the show. I’m glad to be here. You don’t seem glad. I’m hungry. You don’t seem glad. Can I just like get the expression on this face? I’m starving and I usually, I didn’t eat my smoothie this morning, because I wanted to like be totally excited for my last meal, and then the existential part of it, I don’t know, it just, something about it makes me nervous. Like I would like to know that I had something to say, but, I don’t know. I don’t know, man. You’re nervous about death itself, or you’re nervous about not having enough to say about death? I don’t think about it that often. Interesting. Because, let’s see, from the age of 10 to the age of 35, I was totally good with death. Honestly, the thing I’m wigging out about is looking like a fool who doesn’t think about death and has nothing to say. So you wanna eat some breakfast? Please, I think if I ate my meal, I would, my blood sugar would be in the right place. I think that’s, honestly, I think that’s the biggest thing. I never skip my smoothie and like I could faint. Yeah, you could. You could die, you could faint. You could hit your head here and you could die. You need to make peace with one, whatever you believe in, and then two, yourself, man. I’ve made peace. I’m ready for this. All right, like first up, we have your Honey Bunches of Oats, your Raisin Nut Bran, your Frosted Mini-Wheats, a nice carafe of whole milk, and then a cup of coffee. Yes. Let me ask, so Christy, your lovely wife, your beautiful children, they’re 24 hours away from standing over your open casket. I assume you’re having an open casket funeral. They are weeping, but not weeping with sadness, Link. They are weeping with the love and the life that they shared with you, and this is the first step to getting there. How do you feel? I feel great about this. I mean, I feel like I invented this when you were asking what I wanted, a cereal flight. It’s nice, it’s luxurious. Because I knew I had to have cereal, like, oh my gosh, I love cereal so much. I could cry. It’s comfort in a box. It really is. Please, pour your milk. I’m kind of my thing because I generally let my cereal sit for like three or four minutes to sog up. Yeah. The question is really, and thanks for preparing these, like I know somebody had to open the box. I think you’ve got these in a pretty good order, Honey Bunches of Oats first, then Raisin Nut Bran, then Frosted Mini-Wheats. Once I go from one to the next, there’s no going back. Really, You don’t like the soggy cereal? It’s not about the soggy. It’s about like if I eat the Frosted Mini-Wheats, and then eat Raisin Nut Bran, the Raisin Nut Bran is not going to taste nearly as good as it should. Do you think your obsession over control is ultimately about the fear of death, which is the ultimate uncontrolled experience? Do I have an obsession with control? Seems like that was kind of Friends? a given. Wait, did you not know that? Yeah, I do. I did know that. Okay. I was gonna say, but I mean, honestly, like where does that come from? Because to me that’s the root of it, right? Is that like there are things in life that you can’t control, so you take the things that you can, which is to say the order that you eat your cereal in, right, the rate at which- It makes me feel good. Yeah. It does make me feel good. It gives a sense of security. I’m, you know what, I’m gonna throw it in here too. I’m going all the way and I have done, I’ve not saved enough milk for this third one. We can get more milk. Dad more milk! No, no, no. The milk. Oh gosh. Now I got a little bit of the Raisin Nut Bran in the Frosted Mini-Wheat. Suddenly the wheels have fallen off the control. Link, how does that make you feel? Uneasy. Right? Uneasy. Like, it’s just not optimal. Like one thing I’ve discovered about myself is that I’ve always looked outside of myself to be told, you’re doing this right? You’re okay. Or, you’re good. You’re a, you’re a good person. I really don’t want to die today because I’ve, I feel like I’ve just started that work. Like, I’d like to finish that. I would love to be convinced that I’m good. Do you think that reasonably you can get to a place where you are satisfied with yourself and only yourself by the time that you die? Yes. And do you think that if you were to die before that happened, that that would’ve been a failure? I’m just gonna do the best I can. Mm. I wanna live cause I enjoy it. I don’t want to do it just so I can be perfect. I think, I think that’s a trap. To me, there’s a difference in being perfect and not getting that validation from outside sources because all of them out there, right? That’s the very ironic thing about talking about having this self-sustaining sort of validation machine is that you have billions upon billions of views and billions of comments and millions of people who have subscribed to watch every move and give you that validation. Like how do you go immediately from having millions of people to validate you to having just one? That’s crazy to me, that’s the trap that we’ve set. I think the relationship I have with the Mythical Beast is, is by and large positive. I don’t, I don’t think I give them an inappropriate amount of power over my self-worth, but maybe I’m able to say that because, you know, I just, I, I, I am… people enjoy me, people, enough people like me that I make a business out of it. But I do feel like I’m at a point and I’m moving on to the second one. Oh, okay. I’ll join you. Honey Bunches of Oats is literally my favorite cereal of all time. It’s so, it’s so good. You can’t let it get too soggy. No. Cause it goes quick. And to be clear, this is not Raisin Bran, this is Raisin Nut Bran. It is an entirely different cereal producer than Raisin Bran. So much better, so much better than Raisin Bran Crunch, which was my favorite for a while. Let’s flip this page here. You talk about how having a relatively positive relationship with the mythical beasts, but possibly only because you are very, very well-liked, right? Mythical has… Yeah. Avoided scandal. I was gonna say against all odds, but we don’t do anything scandalous. I mean, God forbid that scandal hits Mythical and you suddenly become the main character. Can you put yourself in that mindset and try and feel where your psyche would go? You have the people who have, I mean, funded everything awesome that this company has built all of your awesome life experiences. Those people suddenly turn on you. Do you have the power within yourself to reverse that course? I have the right people around me. I’m talking about lawyers and agents. No, I… Do not come for him. I have the right people around me, who, who love me. My relationship with Christy first and foremost keeps me very grounded. You know what I’m saying? I sure do. And my relationship with my kids keeps me very grounded with, with that group, family, friends, starting with Rhett. And then I gotta, I got a, I got a handful of other friends that like, I really could count on. I even have pastors. Are are they still there for you? You know what, I reconnected with my pastor back in North Carolina. Like, he’s just such a great person. We left the state. I also left the church and then I started going to a church out here. But, that’s really when it kind of started to unravel. You canceled yourself to Jesus, and then you were given redemption with the pastors who still loved you. I canceled myself to Jesus. That you can have that title for free for a memoir. I’ll take like 50 bucks cash right now. Anybody in the Jesus camp would tell me, you know, he’s always there for you if you want to come back. I do know that. And I reserve the right to do that. I think we got it. No, no, no, wait. I, I didn’t eat my, my Frosted… Take a bite, bite quick! at all. We’ve got the run times on 50 minutes. Look, you can’t control every single thing in the video, but apparently you can, cheers. I’m gonna, I’m gonna take this home. All right, Link, next up we have your Double Smash Burger with American cheese juice in 80/20 blend. A simple bun because you said you did not want it fancy. Bacon, sauteed onions, mayonnaise, a simple pleasure. And then we have gigantic comically, large steamed crab legs. This is king crab out of Alaska with melted butter, Old Bay lemon wedges, and then of course Topo Chico, the best mineral water in the game. Cheers. Yes. Oh, you agree with that? Mm. Mm. I’ve done blind taste tests with like 20 different mineral mineral waters Topo Chico wins. One more thing though. You also requested a special bib and so… Yep, yep, yep. Since you’re gonna die, you might be a little bit crabby. And so let’s, let’s dig in man. Crabby. Crabby. How’s this for sound? You know, I mean, am I, do I get producer credit? I wanna start with the burger because, honestly, I’m so excited about the burger. I am too. I think it’s gonna be good. Oh, you’ve done such a good job. I’m gonna plan the perfect bite. You are. I know where I’m going. Oh. Mm. That looks good. All of the crab section for the camera. Oh man. If I really was dying, I’d hate to know that I was, that I was too nervous to enjoy the burger. And I do think that’s a good life goal. To get to a point where you’re not nervous enough about dying to not enjoy the burger that you’re eating before dying. But I always think of it in terms of like, an execution. Like I feel like I’m getting executed after this. For war crimes. Just for something coming out wrong. Really wrong. Yeah. Back to that cancel thing. That’s a fear of… One more bite from me. You’ve talked about how you don’t think about death a lot cause you used to think you had it all figured out. I’m noticing a theme with like the Smashburger. This is really nostalgic. The cereal is really nostalgic. A lot of sort of healing the inner child going on. Oh! GMM, it’s silly as hell, man. Mythical Kitchen is silly as hell. We do a lot of things that are really silly. I would classify it as escapist content. And I have this general theory that people watch things on the internet. We watch sports, we watch dancing. All these things are merely to distract us from the fact that we are going to die. Do you think that GMM is deliberately escapist? Or do you think that came from like your Id? I don’t think it was deliberately escapist, but I definitely know that it is escapist. The way that we decided to do it. The things we weren’t interested in talking about, Here take a crab leg. The places we weren’t interested in going, kind of dictated what we talked about Hmm And let’s see where do I want to start? Oh, we have crackers all over here. You can just go to town. We wanted to do a daily show. I’m just gonna eat this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh boy. Oh yeah, that’s good! I’m gonna, I’m gonna do something a little crazy here. There it is. We didn’t want to get in, you know? Yeah, we wanted to be a respite. Mm. For people. Did you wanna be a respite for people or did you wanna be a respite for yourselves? I mean, I definitely was never interested in talking about controversial stuff. Like I said at the top of this. I think that’s why I have anxiety associated with this because I think that these existential topics are very important. But… I just don’t- oh shoot. I wish I could have just gotten that meat out. Oh, I know. I’m trying my best. Oh yeah, I did it! Oh, that’s perfect! There we go! Now that is control. Like, you are never going to die because you were able to extract the crab leg like that. What do you say to people who say that you have an obligation to do that though, right? Because like, I feel like anything I experienced you, you are experiencing at least 10 times right? With the amount of following the amount of time you’ve been on. I will get hit up in the Instagram DMs for people that are telling me about world atrocities that I’ve never heard of, saying, you need to speak out, out about this. Right. It seems like it would be so easy for something to come out wrong. Mm Or for me not to have fully thought through everything and every angle. So it it just kind of, it can freeze a guy. Yeah. If you’re me, a lot of times I, I have this instinct to kind of bury my head in the sand because I just don’t know what to do. But the thing that, the thing that I’m trying to do is say, well, what can I do and what can, what can honestly come from within me that can, that can have a positive impact. I have love to give, man. I know you do. I’m feeling the love. That’s what I want to focus on. And I can’t be everything to everybody. I don’t want to avoid those things for business reasons. Mm I just avoid it because that’s just not who I am. If you were to solve three crises in the world right now, what would they be, in order? You really want to know that. You don’t No, no. You don’t have to answer that. I, I, okay. That was, that was a test. That was a trap. Never underestimate the power of bringing joy to people’s lives. And that’s something that to open to, to open this door, you’ve really taught me here. And something I always thought if people weren’t perpetually mad at things right, that that meant that things in the world didn’t matter to them. I thought to care about people was to be pissed off all the time. And now I realize that by simply enjoying the pure pleasure of just eating a gigantic crab nugget, pulled pure clean outta the leg and people watching it and then expanding on this idea of love and joy and happiness that can sometimes do more than just being pissed off. I like the sound of that. I couldn’t have said it better myself. All right Link, for the main course, we have your mom’s country fried steak with buttered canned le sueur peas, Yep. Brown gravy, mashed potatoes, under baked crescent rolls, and boy are they under-baked. We also, you said you wanted Indian food. I know you’ve been to Dishoom in London. So we copycatted their jeera rice, chicken ruby, which is a play on butter chicken, raita, garlic naan bread and then a can of Mello Yello. Don’t call it Mountain Dew knockoff. Uh-uh This is the real stuff. This is the real stuff. I don’t like this can though. We were just talking about how “un”-mellow the new branding is on Mello Yello. Yeah, they gotta let, let’s dink it and drink it. They still got it though. I know. They didn’t change the formula. Just the branding. Oh man. Tell me about your mom’s country fried take. Where does this take you back to? This is the main thing that she would make. And you know what? This past Christmas, she spent her first Christmas with us here in LA and I got her to make this. No way. This is like our special Christmas Eve dinner. And yeah, it just brings back so many memories of just sitting there, just me and my mom. Just me and my mom eating dinner. You got gotta hurry up and finish up because Entertainment Tonight’s about to start. Do you eat it all, all together? You gotta get a little bit of everything. A little bit of everything. You did better this time than you did when you tried to fool me on the show with it. Also, we didn’t have the mashed potatoes and peas and that makes the dish. Mm-hm. It really comes together. And you know, with, with my mom making it at my house, Christy was like able to look over her shoulder and and figure out how to make it so that when my mom passes on this recipe stays with us. Like my nanny’s fried chicken is gone forever. Mm. Like I remember that and I, I would’ve put that on the list, but like it hurts a little too much. Yeah. Because I know you would, there’s no way you’d be able to do it cause I couldn’t tell you. Yeah. I think that’s beautiful. Do you have traditions like that that you are going to pass to your kids? Hmm. Well not related to recipes. Not the smoothie, the smoothie’s not going. Pour the milk. You said something earlier that you don’t really talk to your kids about death or it’s something you haven’t talked to. And to me, I’m not a religious person, but now that I’m getting to the age where I’m thinking about having kids with my fiance, right. We’re talking about the idea of how Jewish do we raise them. I think one of the good things about religion is it gives people a common mythos, right? Yeah. It gives people this bedrock that you can establish foundations from. And like you said, you didn’t fear death until you were like 35 when you started questioning things. I understand all the negativity about religion and the bad things that can come with it. And I’m especially talking from a place where I wasn’t entrenched in one, but a hot damn that seems like a good deal. Just because we’re not giving them like this complete instruction manual. I think just being completely honest, about, hey, we’re open, we’re positive, we’re not, you know, I, I’m not raising my kids as a, as a counterpoint to what I no longer believe. Mm-hm I try to like give them a landscape where it’s values-based and it’s, but it’s open and it, I mean the, we do, we practice a lot of love. You know, I think if you practice a lot of love and honesty, well I don’t have the answers and so I’m really hoping that you don’t have to have ’em. It’s not having the big answers. It’s about having the small moments is that’s what I’m counting on. Cause that’s really what I got. I’m extremely proud of the human beings that have grown up in me and Christy’s home. I’ve met them all. You’re correct. They are great. And this is almost raw. Thank you. You’re welcome. I was gonna ask, I know how much you love raw dough. But this is pushing it. I like dip in dip into the chicken ruby right here. I’m using my raw crescent roll instead of the naan. So, you talked about not wanting your life to end because it’s frankly so awesome. Right? So in the book, “Catch-22” there’s a character who says that he found the secret to living a long life, which is you should do as many boring things as possible. Cause when you’re doing a boring task, every hour feels like it’s five hours. So therefore he is living five times as long. But then of course the catch 22 is that you’ve lived a boring life and that sucks. Mm-hm We’ve been doing Mythical Kitchen for three years, right? Okay. At least at time of this video. Hopefully you’re watching this 50 years in the future. I feel like life has passed so much faster during that, because I’ve been doing so many awesome things. Do you feel like your life is passing quicker because you’re doing so many interesting things? Well, thanks for putting this thought in my head. I know! No, I didn’t think that my, I didn’t think that my life was passing more quickly because I’m enjoying it. What? Well do you now? I hope not. I’m not allowing myself to understand fully what you said for that reason. I’m gonna live life to the fullest man. Yeah. People say that as a platitude, but like, do you actually think that it’s going to lead to a harder downfall in the end? I don’t know. I just don’t buy it. I mean it’s fair. I’m not getting on this train with you because- You don’t have to. There’s so many fantastical things that we both do professionally. It tends to kind of wash over you. You know, it’s like you’re kind of pumping out content. It is a job. It’s arguably maybe the best job on the planet. Agreed. But, but I have a way of just, there’s so much of it that it just kind of washes over me. And then when things are boring or you know, normal or, or you know what? Even bad, I’m not saying that there hasn’t been some, some bad things that have dropped into my lap. It’s like, well that’s, it’s all part of it. You know, the thing that I dealt, that I’ve dealt with a lot is just waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of, or maybe it’s the first shoe. I don’t really understand the analogy, but I’m waiting for something bad to happen because I’m so fortunate. We’ve just been eatin’ this and gabbin’. But this is incredible man. It’s so good. Unreal. Vee, Vee knocked this outta the park. Vee cooked this. This is awesome. I don’t know why I took my family to Thailand. I should have taken them to India. Yeah. Like people go to Thailand cause they love the food. And I got over there and they’re like, “Well don’t you want to eat this?” “Don’t you wanna take this cooking class?” And I’m like, oh, that’s not why I’m here. Hmm. Honestly, I don’t know why I’m here. I just thought it would be interesting. All right Link, for dessert, we have dog food, but tastes good, comma, dry, I believe is exactly how you wrote it. So this has been made with a Wagyu Tomahawk steak that we ground up with sweet potato, carrot, brown rice, seasoned with sage, parsley, rosemary, dehydrated into dry dog food kibble. And then we have your signature chocolate chipless cookies. Yes! Very doughy and under-baked. You see just the syrup oozing out from the center. And then finally, in the email, you said you wanted something that quote challenged the kitchen team and really popped. Because I felt like I had not done anything to challenge you. I know, but here we are, Link. We have your challenge dish. First off our bottle service girl coming in, look at how much this pops on camera, Link. If we put this in the thumbnail, we get at least a 2.3% increase in CTR isn’t that big? And then finally, for the dish, thank you so much, bottle service girls. We have like the most challenging dish of all time is a simple French omelet. Everybody knows that you have to be able to get this correct. We want it to really pop. So we put some pop rocks on there, a beautiful chive garnish. And then again, look at how the dance moves really explode on screen. This is an omelet. Oh no. Not only an omelet, it’s a perfect French omelet cooked by former Michelin starred chef, Lily Cousins who somehow left a Michelin starred kitchen to do this. For, for you, for us, for herself, for everybody. For all of you. Link. All of this was always for you. I, I’m flattered. Those are fiery and loud. Yeah. Yeah. Real distracting isn’t it? Vee I gotta say I love your sweatshirt. I know we wanna sell those. So I would like to make a plug if I could. Please, absolutely. Go to mythical.com. Get your be your mythical best sweatshirt. This is, this one’s in that color, and then there’s another color. I think this is the greenish one. And then there’s a grayish one. Are you gonna get buried in mythical merch? No, they asked me to wear it today, but I wanted to go in the, I wanted to dress up a little bit. Thank you so much, bottle service. “Be your mythical best”, is something that I’ve said for years. I mean, that’s why we can put it on a sweatshirt. I’ve always felt good about that because I’m not telling people what to believe or what to do, but I’m giving ’em parameters that like, just be your best. And you know what, you can figure it out. Yeah. Should I eat this first? Because it is an omelet and you don’t wanna just sit. Please eat the omelet first. I think if we’re being honest, has been sitting a while. The texture on the omelet is actually perfect though because we have really talented people. You see the little bit of ooze coming out. The pop-rocks are really making it pop. Yeah, you too. That was a, that was not really a literal instruction. We tried, Link. All we can do is clearly communicate with each other and, and follow it as best as we can. We tried to take the note and we hope you like it. Did you not love the dancing? I loved the dancing. Thank you. Cheers. I don’t like it. It’s bad. I don’t like it at all. It’s bad, you know. It’s terrible. Oh, pop, I can’t even wash it down because of the chemical reaction to the pop-rocks. Okay, I’m out. I’m out. Ham. So that went in that, that. Lily omelet was well cooked. Try the dog food. The dog food’s good though. I bet the dog food is gonna be vetted in that. Yeah, I mean we, you instructed us to make the dog feel good. Can I ask why the dog food? You know, the mythical beast that won the virtual taste test with us? This was his idea because he, he, I was like, ask, ask us anything. He was like, are you gonna go on last meals? I really wanna see you on last meal. No way. And I said, actually, I, I, I think I am. Do you have any ideas? And he said, you should get ’em to make dog food and make it good. Well give it a taste. So, hey. Take a big mouth full. This is the most interactive dish in the history of last meals. This is good, man. It’s really good, isn’t it? I mean, it, it is meaty and I kind of want to think of it as more like cereal. Like I wanna pour milk on it, but that ain’t working. You could put like a really loose gravy on this and it’d just be a really delight place. A loose gravy? Hm-mm. Hm-mm. Gravy Train. Yeah. It’s like sucking on a nickel. I thought you were gonna say nipple, but yeah, it’s got a muskiness to it for sure. No, like, coinage. Like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Will you have your dogs killed once your died to- Once I’ve died? Yeah. Once, I’ve been died. You’ve definitely, if they’re still living, I would love- No, I don’t want to do that to him. Yeah, that’s pretty messed up also, you could get canceled posthumously like the queen of England did because she killed off the line of her corgis and everybody was super cool with everything she did until then. Really? Yeah. Every single thing. That’s right. All of them. I get the joke. Yeah. I’ve been trying to explain to people for, for decades that a chocolate chipless chocolate chip cookie is not a sugar cookie. It’s not a snickerdoodle. It’s nothing else. It’s a chocolate chip cookie without any chocolate chips. And it’s a special its own thing. You’re correct and it is significantly better than a sugar cookie, than a snickerdoodle. This is just smart. Oh man. Mm. It’s so under-baked, it’s so good. I’m I’m going right for the middle at first too. Yep. Yep. Mm. Mm, why is it so good? It’s just brown sugar. That’s the only thing, man. It’s a sugar cookie with brown sugar, but it is. Oh. But that’s all chocolate chip. Did you not know that? That’s all a chocolate chipless chocolate chip cookie is? Like the brown sugar is the good taste. Don’t ask me, did you not know that? I’m sorry. I know that was incredibly rude. I’m sorry. When Rhett talks to me sometimes he’ll begin a conversation with, “You know, about so-and-so, right?” And he knows that I don’t know about the so-and-so. Yeah. I, and so one time I just stopped him and I was like, stop starting conversations like that. I have a question about GMM. Yep. Of course. You’ve heard of GMM. Yep. Good Morning, Memphis. That’s right. That’s right. They do good work for the greater Tennessee area. No, I wanna talk about if you just like take stock about what’s around you, We have dog food. We have one of the greatest cookies in the world. We have pop rocks. We did a merch plug for a sweatshirt. You talked about how much that means to you. We had bottle service. That stuff can only sort of exist in an environment like this, right? It’s an environment that you frankly pioneered and there were so many imitators. Does part of you though, still wish that you had more, quote, unquote, mainstream success? Like, do you look at all this and simply go like, hell yeah, I helped create this and pioneer it and this is the perfect world. Or is there part of you that sees yourself in a crossroads? I want your, you know, the Santa Claus moment. Where, like, are there any regrets in that? Honestly, I feel like I’m at a point where… I’m just, I’m really happy with, with where I’m at. Right now, I’m just really excited about what, what we, what we are doing here at Mythical. And what, I mean, there’s a lot of opportunity. Yeah, I could have been somewhere worse. I could have been somewhere better. But the fact is, I am right here. I’m serious. This is the way that I think about things though, right? Like to me, I don’t believe in the concept of free will at all. I think we’re all just sort of floating around in this morass. And we are all subject to our hormone levels, our own invasive thoughts, the environments that we grew up in, the traumas that we carry, and I think all of them just coalesce with everybody else’s weird network of stuff that nothing could have ever happened differently than it did right now because of those factors. People are gonna believe what they wanna believe. I say that. People are gonna do what they want to do, but it’s, are they bound to it? Is it like you, you put given every single parameter? Are you just a, are you just a creature and a product of all of those factors? And it’s just like, this is how it’s gonna be. If you needed a lifesaving liver transplant and the decision to give the new liver was between you and a preschool teacher in Shaker Heights, Ohio, do you think that you should get it because you employ more people and also affect so many more people? Would I kill a preschool teacher? Uh-huh Yeah. And and how many seconds do I have to decide? Uh, 12. 11 10 nine eight seven six five four three two Me. I’m gonna save myself. What a piece of crap. You ready for the lightning round? Yeah. I hate lightning rounds. I’m such a slow thinker. You had 12 seconds to decide if a preschool teacher dies. It just wasn’t enough time. It wasn’t enough time. Do you think you would’ve gotten to a different answer if you had more time? You think you would’ve, you would’ve knowingly killed yourself instead of just murdering that poor preschool teacher? Probably. But I didn’t. May she rest in peace. All Right. Other than me. Who’s the one person dead or alive that you would want to share your actual last meal with? It can also be me. If you want to choose me. How can it not be Christy? But I don’t know if that’s why we asked the question. Let’s go with in addition to like spouse or kid. Yeah. I guess it, I guess it would have to- I don’t know. Right now I think it’d be Rick Rubin. I’m very fascinated with that guy. Who’s Rick Rubin? He’s a, he’s a music producer. Who’s your dream eulogizer at your funeral? Not counting Christy, Rhett, any of your children, myself or Rick Rubin. Yeah. So somebody dream eulogizer. I saw a video of Rick Rubin talking about writing the hook for “Chop Suey” by System of A Down. I know who that is now. Yep. Yeah, “Father!” You know, I can’t sing it, but… ♪ I commend my spirit. ♪ I’m thinking. Leave me alone. Shut up. Lightning rounds generally go quicker. I know in the edit it will, the more you talk to me, the less I have. I’m not getting any closer to. I’m sorry! Just nobody look at Link. He’s gotta think. I don’t care who looks at me. Okay.

But I mean, in the larger existential content, like in you could draw a little one year circle around, it’ll be some guarantee. What you see is what you get, man. And finally, Link. What do you want your final words to be? I intentionally didn’t prep anything. Good. Can you tell? Yeah. I always think to do that and then I’m like, it turns out much worse. If I don’t. I- was my mythical best. Buy the sweatshirt folks. We got it in charcoal, heather and also sage green. Available mythical.com. Link, thank you so much for doing this, man. Thank you for being vulnerable and existential and honestly putting together a heck of a last meal that challenged the team and really popped on camera. Thank you. Link. You got anything to plug?
