  In another universe good mythical morning is a trio, not a duo

  “I like getting emails from you because you write like you talk” kills me. so much real affection in that line

  I'm just imagining Ben sitting in the middle with Rhett and Link.

  The most gut wrenching moment was when Rhett said,  "I wish we could have spent a different kind of time with him, instead of trying to convince him of something I don't even believe anymore".

  something that really stood out to me was that every time rhett was expressing his guilt and getting choked up, link would remind him that they had good intentions, and that they were always just trying to help, misguided as it may have been. i thought that was really sweet. of course what rhett is feeling is completely understandable, but the way link basically kept reiterating that he doesn't have to carry all that guilt just really touched me. i'm glad they have each other.

  At first I felt sad realizing Link was the 3rd wheel to the Friendship. But when he talked about being brought out of his shell and being invited along as the scared kid by Ben and Rhett it made me realize people are put in our lives to help us grow. We wouldn't have the GMM we have today without Ben and the friendships he helped formed.

  &quot;Trying to convince him, of something I don&apos;t even believe anymore.&quot;<br><br>This line got to me.<br>You can spend so much time, trying to save someone in the long run, that you forget to comfort them in the moment.

  To be Ben’s mother and see two grown men reminisce about all of the fond childhood memories they shared with your son, and love and appreciate him so much that they want to share those memories with millions of people must be so meaningful. Wherever they are, I hope Ben’s parents have found peace and continue to feel the ripples of joy that their wonderful &nbsp;son set into motion.

  Ben sounded like the friend that&apos;s always like &quot;It&apos;s cool, I got this.&quot; With a strong pat on the shoulder.

  Man, it feels like Rhett carries a lot of guilt about Ben. Like you can tell in his voice, that this wars in him a lot. This was such a real video. No music, no nonsense. And toward the middle it’s like they aren’t talking to the audience, it’s like two friends having to deal with their past and their feelings. Very real, very genuine video. 10/10.

  When Rhett and Link either pass or retire a movie should be made about their lives. A movie about growing up, religion, finding yourself, and friendship. It would be the perfect send off to a great duo

  Ben is absolutely the backbone, humor, fun, and spirit in GMM. His legacy is literally built into the show.
