The earliest most distinct memory is the video with Link straightening Rhett's hair and Rhett's impression of Manson. I laughed so hard and it still cracks me up. So during Covid I started watching and had a lot of history to catch up on, it's been a lot of fun. And Link gives me the ex boy band member that wasn't that popular then but grew up to be the hot one energy.
Jenna is such a great component to the show. Whenever she weighs in on anything it is either poignant or impactful or so brutally funny. If she ever writes a book, sign me up for the presale.
And to think that he didn't like it at the beginning.. I remember the first time it came up he had an issue with the "long time" part and argued against it for half an hour 🤣 he is a treasure
I started watching during the pandemic while i was pregnant and suffering through really bad HG. I couldn’t keep food down at all for 30 hours straight. Not even an ice cube. So you guys were my comfort show. I’d watch you every night before bed and it was the only way that i could sleep at all. You guys helped me cope during the hardest part of my life and honestly it was the only joy i was getting for a long period of time. My pregnancy was so hard but watching you guys try food helped me eat and sleep everyday.
I don't know how to describe what it is, but you do/did indeed put off a very youth groupy vibe. Mind you, I think I was first introduced to you after you had already deconstructed (so had I) . But I remember saying to my husband, "I bet you a million bucks these guys either are or were devoted Christians and at some point involved in ministry." I think sometimes we don't give the environment of the brand of Christianity we grew up in enough credit for being a culture. It influences more than just our beliefs. It influences the way we even talk -- the inflections of our voice and just the whole vibe. I will say, I don't think it's something people who didn't grow up in that culture always notice. Like, my husband would never have had that thought. But having come from a very, very similar campus crusade brand of Christianity and involved in very much the same way you guys were, I clocked it right away.
Omg there is going to be a dispatchs youtube!!! I am tooooooo excited for this! Your podcast is our travel tunes when we go anywhere! The words we have Charleslized is amazing.
My ex gave me two things in our 7+ years of being together... great music and you guys. I remember the first time watching you guys, it wasn't love at first sight. My ex wanted to watch and I wanted to spend time with him. Then I just couldn't stop. I have been watching you guys every day at work for almost four years now. During your breaks, I go back and watch the previous seasons. Thank you for all you do!
Yea the same thing happened with me and my ex. Every time I would go to her house she would want to watch RUclips with me and I would want to do other things so when she showed me GMM for the first time I really wasn’t all that interested but I was watching and showing enthusiasm for the show because I knew how much she liked them.. fast forward 6 years and we are no longer together and I’m an avid listener of ear biscuits and love watching gmm 😂 it’s funny how we as people are a mixture of all the things and experiences we are introduced to
I have been watching gmm for going on 11 years, and get this... im only 18. so to say that you guys have been an important part of my life is almost an understatement. I have literally grown up with you two, and the crew, as these sorta role models for me. I don't even remember my life before gmm nor can I imagine my life without it. I have probably watched every single episode including the mores, and many of the ear biscuits. I gotta tell you, I remember just how much you guys are part of my daily routine everytime there is a break between seasons, I never know what to watch when there's not a new episode lol. Im pretty sure you all have influenced who i am greatly and i couldn't be happier about it, because truly as im getting older and becoming an adult im loving who i am. Im not perfect, and on the days where i need something to lift me up and get me going again, i know i can always turn to yall. Thank you, for being a daily dose of laughter, fun, learning, and growth, throughout these formative years of my life. Truly love yall and the crew for everything you do.
I was introduced to you from a friend back in 2014 when I was 17 and still in high school, and I have been watching everyday since then. I don't think I remember the first GMM video I watched, but I just remember the whole show and your songs helped me and my friend feel closer even if we were living in different continents (I'm Italian, they are American). I basically got better with my English by watching your show everyday, and I have used your sketch videos so many times to help my students practice their listening skills at this point. It's now been 9 years and the funny thing is that I'm also engaged to a person in the mythical crew actually lmao but they started working there in 2019, months after we had started talking, and it was a total coincidence that we just started actually dating back then. Life is wild and I love you guys.
So I usually listen every week, unless the title is really un appealing to me (which really never happens) but this week I was like meh 😕 but decided to watch it anyway. I'm so glad I did! It was a great episode, I love hearing stories about you guys and getting to know more of your background and what makes you, you if that makes sense. Anyway you guys are the best! Much love
I get that way too! Like nothing personal just sometimes some of the episodes I don't really find as entertaining so I'll skip, and I was like well I have to get ready let's just put this on and I'm happy I did!
I don’t know why but listening to phone in opinions/recordings makes me so uncomfortable haha 😅I end up worrying what they are going to say and that it’s going to be something awkward 😂
Hey Rhett and Link, I am not sure if you read these comments or not. But, I wanted to share with you the first time I saw you. It was not on RUclips but JellyTelly as part of the Vegetales line up of outer programming where you guys wore these crazy wigs and sang great Bible content songs. Songs that I felt the church needed in order to teach the basics of the topics in your songs. My daughter and I would smile and dance around to your songs. It was a lot of fun! Thanks for creating fond memories for my family in that little window of time. Cheers! We wish you the best in your continued success. Whether you believe it or not, truth is, you have been given a talent by God and you are using it splendidly!
So I have been dealing with a pressure ulcers for over 18 years and somewhere within that time I was hospitalized and I came across yall and have been hooked since.
I remember my best friend introduced me to you all in college around 2015-2016. We were best friends living in a dorm together and collaborating on our RUclips channels. He and I are still best buddies to this day.
@@themythbeast So far nothing took the weekend place, perhaps they want their weekends to be completely work free so they can have more family time or more time for projects. Not sure..
@@olredbeard1490 Doubtful they recorded them on the weekend and in fact nearly everything Mythical Entertainment does is filmed in bunches days, if not weeks, before it appears on RUclips. I wouldn't be surprised if they knocked out a week of GMM/Mores in a day.
@@dumbstupid5065 I'm just stating what they both said in their last Gmm video, that their Ear Biscuit Videos will now be dropping on Wednesdays instead of coming out on the weekend. Have a fantastic Hump-Day
"The Best Pencil Ever Made" was the first episode I ever watched, 9 years ago when It came out. I immediately started going through your other videos to find out if y'all were a couple.
rhett and link u mean so much to me ur boundless creativity has been a source of inspiration for many years, i have aphantasia, so i cant see pictures in my head, but tangential humour allows me to mentally follow your process, and that is such a wonderful and enjoyable time for me. ur my maine men
Good Mythical Morning to all you fantastic Mythical Beasts! You all deserve love and so much light in your life! Happy 2023!! ✨🎉 I've been watching you two since 2012. What a journey it has been. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and lives with us. You make a difference to countless people ❤️
I had the pleasure of having high school chemistry being taught by one of the original chemists involved in the creation of H&S. Okay....pleasure might be a stretch, he was difficult to deal with as I disliked chemistry on a good day, and I didn't like how he taught. But be damned if he wasn't smart as a whip!
I think I started watching you guys in my freshman year of hs (around 2015) when my health teacher played your OCD music video to explain the disorder, and I instantly loved it. I started watching every morning, it was the highlight of my day and kept me going at times. I love you guys and think you are both so awesome. *had to fix grammar
My first impression upon meeting Link at MythiCon was that he was both egotistical but down to Earth. He was flaunting at the Mythical Brunch and seemed like a bit of the fame was going to his head, but also dialed it back and was chill when chatting and when I was giving him feedback. Up until the point he said, "You trying to get a job? Well too bad you're fired!" I do know he means well though so no harm or foul. And Rhett was just chill and understanding the whole time. Fun all around and definitely could see their passion and charm while also they were clearly tired from a long, long weekend (as it was at the very end of it all and they were leaving shortly thereafter). Fun times and glad to meet and chat with them however brief.
The first time I saw Rhett and Link was waaay back in 2007. I had joined Facebook earlier that year which had become quite addictive quite quickly. When I came across their Facebook song I laughed so hard! I just had to find out who these guys were, which led me to the Rhett and Linkast and their other songs/content at the time. I have been following them ever since. My son is 18 so it has been great to see their kids grow along with mine. 😊
My first impression was absolutely "disgusting and stupid" -- then somehow, I stumbled into you again years later, and now I've been watching every day since probably sometime in 2019.
The first time I saw you guys was your video at the cereal factory. I didn't think anyone loved cereal as much as I do, so it made me super happy. Been hooked pretty much ever since!
I was researching different sounding languages for an alien race for a story, and I found the episode where you tried to learn Xhosa. A binge watch of GMM followed, and now THERE IS NO ALIEN STORY BUT GMM EVERY DAY!!!
The political conversation really solidifies the limitations I perceive with Rhett, and to a lesser extent, Link. In the end, their capacity to constellate structures of oppression just can't help but be hindered by their existences as relatively privileged white men - and I don't think this is like, some unsolvable or unavoidable issue, but it does hammer home that they exist in a completely parallel universe to the one the rest of us as indigenous people (particularly in the global south), where "can't we all still have a functional conversation?" is a sincere baseline in their heads, and "your vote has the same power that my vote has" is a sentence that can be said unironically. I completely understand why liberalism is so enticing to white people when I hear people like Rhett and Link express themselves like this. It must be so, so comforting to genuinely believe that what they're living through is just a democracy going through an inevitable rough patch, rather than a paperthin facade rapidly deteriorating to reveal the true nature of the beast named Empire. It's a little unnerving that there's no guarantee they'll develop beyond this, but I have hope!
My husband introduced me to GMM. I watched and I was not about it. One day I had a video in my recommended and I needed background noise. The more I watch/listen the more I’ve learned about you as people and not just content creators. I’ve binged everyday on videos since! My opinion has definitely changed. Sometimes first impressions don’t matter, time does!
I first saw Rhett & Link when they were guest judges on The Next Food Network Star and they made absolutely no impression on me. Years later in 2020, when GMM showed up on my facebook news feed and they made a first impression for the second time, I had no recollection of having ever seen them or a Will It before. It wasn't until I was so hooked that I started watching EVERY video that I could find with R&L in it, that I rewatched the episode and then was like, "oh yeah, I remember those two guys now."
The first time I saw you two on the internet was the ERB video of Mario Bros vs Wright Bros. Though I didn't know who you guys were. It wasn't till about Xmas 2015 that somebody suggested GMM to me that I realized it was you guys.
I wish people would stop promoting better help, especially content creators who I like. Maybe would be a good idea to look into the issues they have had
i get what Rhett is trying to say at like 42:00, but its also hard to try and put forth the effort of having meaningful conversations when you are aware of the studies that have shown that even after showing people direct evidence that contradicts their beliefs, they just cling to their beliefs even harder. Its known as belief perserverance and the backfire effect. i've witnessed this so many times in my own family, that i have given up trying to change their minds about everything. yes its sad, but im also not going to mentally exhaust myself trying to change the minds of stubborn people set in their ways. especially when the things they believe are actively harmful to and belittling to me or communities i care deeply about. more power to the people who try, i just can't anymore.
Well said. When much of the current political climate is inextricably linked to things like one's humanity, body autonomy, voting rights, etc. it's not quite as benign a conversation. I think these conversations might come easier for folks not directly impacted by such legislation and then might not realise that there is privilege in that.
Interesting show today Rhett and Link. The first episode l watched l immediately liked the format and the back and forth banter between you guys. I even noticed my wife listening , but she would be more of closet listener.
I've learnt not to trust my foist impressions. There are people that left a bad first impression on me that have become my friends, and the opposite has happened.
This was a great conversation. I have been some things about people’s first impressions of me, that made me kinda change how I approached people. And I honestly didn’t like that. I felt fake and I felt like if I can’t be myself then I don’t want to even be in a relationship/friendship/partnership with this person. Being myself had gotten me way farther in my career, I’m my relationship and in my life then trying to appease a few to get them to like me.
my first impression of you guys was in middle school when I first saw the Julian Smith Waffle video. I thought it was the funniest thing ever and showed it to all my friends. after that im not sure what happened but now im back 12 years later watching daily :)
I stayed to watch this on Sunday morning just like old times. Again I'm begging you to please put this back on Sunday mornings. It's how I start every Sunday. It's the highlight of my day. I think I'm the only person asking for this but it would be so nice if you moved it back. Would it be possible for you guys to put a link to a hotdog is a sandwich? I wasn't able to pull it up. Just a bunch of other videos came up, but that one didn't. I'm looking forward to watching it in video form. Thank you so much guys. Fantastic podcast. I hope you have a great week and we'll see you tomorrow.
I liked the convo in the later 3rd of the show. I'm definitely HARD on the left side, but I also come from a more conservative family and realize that sometimes people were just led to believe harmful things by people they trusted. Some people also haven't had the benefit of being exposed to other ideology or even just culture. While there are definitely some incredibly harmful things we should take a hard stance against, I think that there are other things we should take an "educate first" approach to and at least give people an opportunity to learn and grow. Unfortunately, because of this cycle of vilification and the other side feeling like they always have to be on the defense, people have just grown accustomed to the idea that they're being attacked for "no reason". Social media echo chambers only make this worse and it really feels difficult to even start to make progress and do anything about it. I appreciate y'all and thank you for attempting to inspire a non-toxic level of positivity and compassion.
It’s ironic that the caller sorta thought you were too old to have so much fun because I was recently told ( by a complete stranger in line at Starbucks) that I was too old to be a fan of GMM , I was listening to a Rhett’s 3rd year deconstruction podcast at the time. I am 70.
Somehow my first video was the How Long Can You Hold Your Pee episode and I was confused why it popped up as recommended. But I came back so I guess it really did know what to recommend. 😂
My first impression was Epic Rap Battle. My friends and I were obsessed. We had it memorized and would trade off who did Rhett’s part and who did links for hours on end. And here I am 12 years later.
Good mythical morning to all! I've found most times people have some sort of resting face as well until you speak to them and then they will perk up. I think we all got some anxiety in social situations after the pandemic. But we'll keep being our Mythical Best. 🤙
My first impression was from the first episode I watched. I thought Rhett and Link were two funny, wholesome, and kinda weird guys. I've watched ever since. : )
@@katc2040 yes absolutely better than nothing , if you find a good one on better help, however they are known for faking credentials and scamming a lot of people. However I'm sure there are some ok therapists on there and I'm happy that it's working out for you, but for some people that attempt to use their service it does not.
29:50 about the youth pastor energy, if it helps, I am a non-religious midwesterner and I think you guys are dressed like two different kind of before/after school-care program supervisors: The A.M supervisor who is there every day (Link) and the P.M supervisor who only comes in on Tuesday and Thursday (Rhett)
I really don’t like it when they get into some of these political conversations sometimes because I find myself getting heated over their ambivalence. The best way I can explain it is this (not that anyone who’s stuck in their way is going to care), but the judgement that comes with “my identity is my ideology” is that for some of us, it HAS to be that way. Someone’s race, their gender, their sexuality IS a part of their identity. Why should someone have to have “genuine discourse” on why they deserve to exist or have rights? Like, does anyone understand why that could be patronizing? Like I love these guys to death, but God they really frustrate me with those kinds of conversations sometimes. And if we're gonna talk about quotes on centrism, heres one for size: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
I think the "my identity is my ideology" was not the right phrasing bc ur correct in what u said. I think more "my personality is my ideology" is what becomes irritating. I've met people on both ends that have made me feel extremely uncomfortable because their personality was only their ideology. One friend made me feel badly for not feeling or advocating as strongly or loudly as her about all sorts of issues even tho we believe in the same things. We're both liberal, she's just more vocal overall. However, every other sentence she speaks is political and it gets in the way of the friendship. She'd bring politics into the conversation when i had a crush on someone who happened to be white. I find i can't vent to her about my problems because it becomes political even when the problems weren't political for me to begin with. She also makes me uncomfortable with my own identity at times and it's just so strange for me to comprehend because i didnt think someone with the same views as me could also simultaneously make me uncomfortable in that way.
@@sam_8493 Yes, I definitely agree with that. Some of us show our activism differently and that’s okay. No one should have to feel bad for what that looks like. And to add to that, I don’t wanna make it seem like the guys haven’t been active in issues their own unique way, because I know they have. The problem (problem is a strong word, but it’s the one I’ve got right now), I tend to have with most left-leaning people around their age is that they will say things like “why don’t you just have a discussion?” and the discussion in question is “do I deserve to have rights?” 💀 Like, no matter how you may feel on a subject, no matter which way you lean, if your argument boils down to “I don’t think you deserve to live or have rights,” why on EARTH would I want to sit down and have a conversation with you?? Not saying that that’s how THEY think, but the fact that they have these conversations like “oh we’re so divided, why can’t we all just talk to each other” and then act like they don’t know why..? That’s what frustrated me beyond reason, because I know they can be better than that.
Very well said, and I agree! I had to stop and pause when Link was romanticizing the "challenges" of living in a "purple" area. I get where he's coming from, but it's a place of total ignorance as a straight white man. I mean, what challenges would he even face? He might have to exercise his morals? He might see a Trump flag out in the wild? None of his rights would be affected, threatened, or outright taken away, so to downplay what would essentially only be a difference in principles as a "challenge" when that's THE ONLY challenge he'd face just seemed so out of touch and tone deaf. In those same "purple" areas, there are so many people dealing with inequality and prejudice, and it's not just some anecdotal "when life gives you lemons" life experience for them to learn and ~grow from.
I started watched Rhett and Link when they were doing their skits like T-shirt wars and when they first started GMM I remember thinking "this is so different and kinda lame". Looking back now I realize that the 1st couple seasons were actually just really ahead of their time being one of the first long form conversational style videos. I started watching GMM regularly around season 5 and now I wish every episode was even longer! This might also be a product of me getting older and actually having the patience to sit through long form content though 😆
The problem living in Florida is that I have to work and deal with people who are supporters of trump, DeSantis, etc. It's very difficult to have to play nice with people who are basically open bigots or racists.
First time I saw Rett and Link was when I was walking through down town Asheville NC. A giant walked by me and suddenly my stomach like I was stabbed. Then my girlfriend, wife now, said. “Isn’t that rett and link?” It was.
Glad there’s still War Biscuits. The welcome back episodes of GMM and GMMore for 2023 have been… eh… Rhett and Link are great, the crew is fantastic. But the first and second episode of the new year, Blew Donkey Chode imo 😅
Honestly I didn't have much first impression of Link and Rhett. First video ran into of theirs was either the facebook or american idol song. It was just a random youtube vid some one showed me and thought was funny and moved on. The second time was a video of them eating something strange a few years later and kind just shrug and moved on again. I feel a little bad saying it but really wasn't until I ran into ear biscuits that I became a fan. Going through podcast phase and thought wow these are some interesting and funny guys. Later would put it together they were same people have seen before.
The "Link is just like me" guy was hilarious hahaha
The earliest most distinct memory is the video with Link straightening Rhett's hair and Rhett's impression of Manson. I laughed so hard and it still cracks me up. So during Covid I started watching and had a lot of history to catch up on, it's been a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's crazy how similar the "hip young Christian" subculture has developed to be all over the country. Especially the university flavor
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Link having some SOLID nuggets of wisdom, especially his thoughts leading up to the hour mark. Love this ep!!!!!

RIP to the Sunday upload 😭 I really looked forward to that..they were one of the only ones to post on Sundays.
I hope the next episode is about how you spend your Christmas and new year break. They're my fave kinds of episodes. ❤
My whole entire day has been thrown off because I started this ear biscuits before work.. I’ve been thinking it was Sunday!!😂
I don’t know why but listening to phone in opinions/recordings makes me so uncomfortable haha 😅I end up worrying what they are going to say and that it’s going to be something awkward 😂

yall notice in so dang dark that every fear they mentioned was a different category of fear? been thinkin abt that a lot
also they did ring ding dong before shinee
You both are definitely for me! I'm glad I found you (wish it was sooner).
Good Mythical Morning to all you fantastic Mythical Beasts! You all deserve love and so much light in your life! Happy 2023!! ✨🎉
I've been watching you two since 2012. What a journey it has been. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and lives with us. You make a difference to countless people ❤️
good mythical 2023 and all the mythical best to you and your family and friends for 2023 💚BYMB
As a Procter & Gamble employee, I’m loving this shoutout to our Head & Shoulders product 😅
I had the pleasure of having high school chemistry being taught by one of the original chemists involved in the creation of H&S. Okay....pleasure might be a stretch, he was difficult to deal with as I disliked chemistry on a good day, and I didn't like how he taught. But be damned if he wasn't smart as a whip!
I think I started watching you guys in my freshman year of hs (around 2015) when my health teacher played your OCD music video to explain the disorder, and I instantly loved it. I started watching every morning, it was the highlight of my day and kept me going at times. I love you guys and think you are both so awesome. *had to fix grammar
My first impression upon meeting Link at MythiCon was that he was both egotistical but down to Earth. He was flaunting at the Mythical Brunch and seemed like a bit of the fame was going to his head, but also dialed it back and was chill when chatting and when I was giving him feedback. Up until the point he said, "You trying to get a job? Well too bad you're fired!" I do know he means well though so no harm or foul.
And Rhett was just chill and understanding the whole time. Fun all around and definitely could see their passion and charm while also they were clearly tired from a long, long weekend (as it was at the very end of it all and they were leaving shortly thereafter).
Fun times and glad to meet and chat with them however brief.
The first time I saw Rhett and Link was waaay back in 2007. I had joined Facebook earlier that year which had become quite addictive quite quickly. When I came across their Facebook song I laughed so hard! I just had to find out who these guys were, which led me to the Rhett and Linkast and their other songs/content at the time. I have been following them ever since. My son is 18 so it has been great to see their kids grow along with mine. 😊
Rhett & Link you are for me, l am here for however long you keep going, love everything you do! Can't wait to see what 2023 brings 😁
I miss the no ads ear biscuits already. I listen to this while I drive and can't skip it.
They're like 30 seconds
35:37 the most enunciated “do you know what I am saying” I’ve heard in awhile
My first impression was absolutely "disgusting and stupid" -- then somehow, I stumbled into you again years later, and now I've been watching every day since probably sometime in 2019.
The first time I saw you guys was your video at the cereal factory. I didn't think anyone loved cereal as much as I do, so it made me super happy. Been hooked pretty much ever since!
Hey hey my voicemail made it on the podcast!!! 😂😂😂 and wow do I hate the way my voice sounds
👏👏👏congrats 👍 your voice is fine
The 1st episode I saw was that NeverWet Episode, where they were pouring wine and ketchup on white jeans and Tshirts.
I’m so glad dispatches is getting a video format!!
so happy i get these on wednesday. these are gonna help me get through the week
BEST BOOK RECOMMENDATION RHETT!!! So powerful
‘Mans search for meaning’
Is this your recommendation or did something on set read it?
I was researching different sounding languages for an alien race for a story, and I found the episode where you tried to learn Xhosa. A binge watch of GMM followed, and now THERE IS NO ALIEN STORY BUT GMM EVERY DAY!!!
wow that's amazing 👏
The political conversation really solidifies the limitations I perceive with Rhett, and to a lesser extent, Link. In the end, their capacity to constellate structures of oppression just can't help but be hindered by their existences as relatively privileged white men - and I don't think this is like, some unsolvable or unavoidable issue, but it does hammer home that they exist in a completely parallel universe to the one the rest of us as indigenous people (particularly in the global south), where "can't we all still have a functional conversation?" is a sincere baseline in their heads, and "your vote has the same power that my vote has" is a sentence that can be said unironically.
I completely understand why liberalism is so enticing to white people when I hear people like Rhett and Link express themselves like this. It must be so, so comforting to genuinely believe that what they're living through is just a democracy going through an inevitable rough patch, rather than a paperthin facade rapidly deteriorating to reveal the true nature of the beast named Empire. It's a little unnerving that there's no guarantee they'll develop beyond this, but I have hope!
My husband introduced me to GMM. I watched and I was not about it. One day I had a video in my recommended and I needed background noise. The more I watch/listen the more I’ve learned about you as people and not just content creators. I’ve binged everyday on videos since! My opinion has definitely changed. Sometimes first impressions don’t matter, time does!
I first saw Rhett & Link when they were guest judges on The Next Food Network Star and they made absolutely no impression on me. Years later in 2020, when GMM showed up on my facebook news feed and they made a first impression for the second time, I had no recollection of having ever seen them or a Will It before. It wasn't until I was so hooked that I started watching EVERY video that I could find with R&L in it, that I rewatched the episode and then was like, "oh yeah, I remember those two guys now."
omg wow 👏👏
Luv watching you guys,very intertaining and opened and raw and honest
The first time I saw you two on the internet was the ERB video of Mario Bros vs Wright Bros. Though I didn't know who you guys were. It wasn't till about Xmas 2015 that somebody suggested GMM to me that I realized it was you guys.
I wish people would stop promoting better help, especially content creators who I like. Maybe would be a good idea to look into the issues they have had
I hold on to hope that theyre all stuck in a contract that is quite long and costly to back out of.
What issues have they had?
Money
Trying to get advertising honestly
Lol.. it's where they need to keep less edits ✨️
For the first few years link was my favorite then Rhett and now their combined vibe is my favorite
i get what Rhett is trying to say at like 42:00, but its also hard to try and put forth the effort of having meaningful conversations when you are aware of the studies that have shown that even after showing people direct evidence that contradicts their beliefs, they just cling to their beliefs even harder. Its known as belief perserverance and the backfire effect. i've witnessed this so many times in my own family, that i have given up trying to change their minds about everything. yes its sad, but im also not going to mentally exhaust myself trying to change the minds of stubborn people set in their ways. especially when the things they believe are actively harmful to and belittling to me or communities i care deeply about. more power to the people who try, i just can't anymore.
Well said. When much of the current political climate is inextricably linked to things like one's humanity, body autonomy, voting rights, etc. it's not quite as benign a conversation.
I think these conversations might come easier for folks not directly impacted by such legislation and then might not realise that there is privilege in that.
Interesting show today Rhett and Link. The first episode l watched l immediately liked the format and the back and forth banter between you guys. I even noticed my wife listening , but she would be more of closet listener.
awwwww
I've learnt not to trust my foist impressions. There are people that left a bad first impression on me that have become my friends, and the opposite has happened.
Talking to Link seems like my 7 year old making up rules to a boardgame.
..no but, now you have to do this
This was a great conversation. I have been some things about people’s first impressions of me, that made me kinda change how I approached people. And I honestly didn’t like that. I felt fake and I felt like if I can’t be myself then I don’t want to even be in a relationship/friendship/partnership with this person. Being myself had gotten me way farther in my career, I’m my relationship and in my life then trying to appease a few to get them to like me.
I know that feeling too 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
my first impression of you guys was in middle school when I first saw the Julian Smith Waffle video. I thought it was the funniest thing ever and showed it to all my friends. after that im not sure what happened but now im back 12 years later watching daily :)

I stayed to watch this on Sunday morning just like old times. Again I'm begging you to please put this back on Sunday mornings. It's how I start every Sunday. It's the highlight of my day. I think I'm the only person asking for this but it would be so nice if you moved it back.
Would it be possible for you guys to put a link to a hotdog is a sandwich? I wasn't able to pull it up. Just a bunch of other videos came up, but that one didn't.
I'm looking forward to watching it in video form. Thank you so much guys. Fantastic podcast.
I hope you have a great week and we'll see you tomorrow.
I liked the convo in the later 3rd of the show. I'm definitely HARD on the left side, but I also come from a more conservative family and realize that sometimes people were just led to believe harmful things by people they trusted. Some people also haven't had the benefit of being exposed to other ideology or even just culture. While there are definitely some incredibly harmful things we should take a hard stance against, I think that there are other things we should take an "educate first" approach to and at least give people an opportunity to learn and grow. Unfortunately, because of this cycle of vilification and the other side feeling like they always have to be on the defense, people have just grown accustomed to the idea that they're being attacked for "no reason". Social media echo chambers only make this worse and it really feels difficult to even start to make progress and do anything about it.
I appreciate y'all and thank you for attempting to inspire a non-toxic level of positivity and compassion.
It’s ironic that the caller sorta thought you were too old to have so much fun because I was recently told ( by a complete stranger in line at Starbucks) that I was too old to be a fan of GMM , I was listening to a Rhett’s 3rd year deconstruction podcast at the time. I am 70.
Yay! Now I don't have to wait all week to see the pod!!
Glad that the pods will be in video. I will actually consume them now!
Somehow my first video was the How Long Can You Hold Your Pee episode and I was confused why it popped up as recommended. But I came back so I guess it really did know what to recommend. 😂
My first impression was Epic Rap Battle. My friends and I were obsessed. We had it memorized and would trade off who did Rhett’s part and who did links for hours on end. And here I am 12 years later.
ok now im dying to know what are the unusual things in Jenna's life. Bring her as a gues on the podcast.
Good mythical morning to all! I've found most times people have some sort of resting face as well until you speak to them and then they will perk up. I think we all got some anxiety in social situations after the pandemic. But we'll keep being our Mythical Best. 🤙
that is so true X 🤗💚
I first saw Rhett and Link on Sourcefed's Table talk.
I love Ear Biscuits this is best thing I discovered in 2023
Finally gonna watch instead of the audio bc of the Wednesday upload! Thank you!!!
I can see myself in alot of what Rhett is saying this episode🙏
Dude talking about bowl cuts got me cackling😂
My first impression was from the first episode I watched. I thought Rhett and Link were two funny, wholesome, and kinda weird guys. I've watched ever since. : )
Ear biscuits on a Wednesday?
They changed the schedule
"I can be in a meeting and look at myself exclusively" lmao same link 😂😂 7:52
My first impression was with the Nerd Vs Geek Rap Battle 😂 i thought it was SO clever and fun and stupid and I was like, I need MORE of these guys
The fast food folk song was my introduction to Rhett & Link
1:03:11 Hey, that’s me!
lol
that last little section about being you guys everywhere is so true
26:37 was that not the woman's voice from that episode where they actually played her call in?
i really like Links jacket
Unexpectedly blessed on a random Wednesday morning!
Not random, they said on the main channel the new shedual
@@luvely1062 random for me, I didn’t see it.
back when i lived in colder climates, had bad dandruff, the h&s works yo
The first time I saw one of your videos was half of my life ago
Wish you guys weren't promoting better help. Therapy is great. Better help not so much.
My thoughts exactly
It's really hard to find therapists currently. This is the best most people can do that really need someone to talk to
Been looking for a therapist since 2020.
@@katc2040 yes absolutely better than nothing , if you find a good one on better help, however they are known for faking credentials and scamming a lot of people. However I'm sure there are some ok therapists on there and I'm happy that it's working out for you, but for some people that attempt to use their service it does not.
I think I missed Ear Biscuits more than GMM over the break. Also I'm still watching on Sunday because I had a routine 😅
Link is so heavy on semantics haha
"When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves."
-Victor Frankl-
29:50 about the youth pastor energy, if it helps, I am a non-religious midwesterner and I think you guys are dressed like two different kind of before/after school-care program supervisors: The A.M supervisor who is there every day (Link) and the P.M supervisor who only comes in on Tuesday and Thursday (Rhett)
Link! Your style is fantastic! Yours too Rhett. You don't look like you're trying to be cool. U R cool.
I really don’t like it when they get into some of these political conversations sometimes because I find myself getting heated over their ambivalence. The best way I can explain it is this (not that anyone who’s stuck in their way is going to care), but the judgement that comes with “my identity is my ideology” is that for some of us, it HAS to be that way. Someone’s race, their gender, their sexuality IS a part of their identity. Why should someone have to have “genuine discourse” on why they deserve to exist or have rights? Like, does anyone understand why that could be patronizing? Like I love these guys to death, but God they really frustrate me with those kinds of conversations sometimes.
And if we're gonna talk about quotes on centrism, heres one for size: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
YES!!! Well said!
I think the "my identity is my ideology" was not the right phrasing bc ur correct in what u said. I think more "my personality is my ideology" is what becomes irritating. I've met people on both ends that have made me feel extremely uncomfortable because their personality was only their ideology. One friend made me feel badly for not feeling or advocating as strongly or loudly as her about all sorts of issues even tho we believe in the same things. We're both liberal, she's just more vocal overall. However, every other sentence she speaks is political and it gets in the way of the friendship. She'd bring politics into the conversation when i had a crush on someone who happened to be white. I find i can't vent to her about my problems because it becomes political even when the problems weren't political for me to begin with. She also makes me uncomfortable with my own identity at times and it's just so strange for me to comprehend because i didnt think someone with the same views as me could also simultaneously make me uncomfortable in that way.
@@sam_8493 Yes, I definitely agree with that. Some of us show our activism differently and that’s okay. No one should have to feel bad for what that looks like. And to add to that, I don’t wanna make it seem like the guys haven’t been active in issues their own unique way, because I know they have.
The problem (problem is a strong word, but it’s the one I’ve got right now), I tend to have with most left-leaning people around their age is that they will say things like “why don’t you just have a discussion?” and the discussion in question is “do I deserve to have rights?” 💀
Like, no matter how you may feel on a subject, no matter which way you lean, if your argument boils down to “I don’t think you deserve to live or have rights,” why on EARTH would I want to sit down and have a conversation with you?? Not saying that that’s how THEY think, but the fact that they have these conversations like “oh we’re so divided, why can’t we all just talk to each other” and then act like they don’t know why..? That’s what frustrated me beyond reason, because I know they can be better than that.
Very well said, and I agree! I had to stop and pause when Link was romanticizing the "challenges" of living in a "purple" area. I get where he's coming from, but it's a place of total ignorance as a straight white man. I mean, what challenges would he even face? He might have to exercise his morals? He might see a Trump flag out in the wild? None of his rights would be affected, threatened, or outright taken away, so to downplay what would essentially only be a difference in principles as a "challenge" when that's THE ONLY challenge he'd face just seemed so out of touch and tone deaf. In those same "purple" areas, there are so many people dealing with inequality and prejudice, and it's not just some anecdotal "when life gives you lemons" life experience for them to learn and ~grow from.
@@javyjotti8 excellent points 👏👏👏
I started watched Rhett and Link when they were doing their skits like T-shirt wars and when they first started GMM I remember thinking "this is so different and kinda lame". Looking back now I realize that the 1st couple seasons were actually just really ahead of their time being one of the first long form conversational style videos. I started watching GMM regularly around season 5 and now I wish every episode was even longer! This might also be a product of me getting older and actually having the patience to sit through long form content though 😆
👏👏👏👏👏
The problem living in Florida is that I have to work and deal with people who are supporters of trump, DeSantis, etc. It's very difficult to have to play nice with people who are basically open bigots or racists.
First time I saw Rett and Link was when I was walking through down town Asheville NC. A giant walked by me and suddenly my stomach like I was stabbed. Then my girlfriend, wife now, said. “Isn’t that rett and link?” It was.
wow🙂👏😁✌️
First, I have been watching every episode since they started ear biscuits. I miss ronstadt as well.
Glad there’s still War Biscuits. The welcome back episodes of GMM and GMMore for 2023 have been… eh…
Rhett and Link are great, the crew is fantastic. But the first and second episode of the new year, Blew Donkey Chode imo 😅
Thank you Link💕
I don't always agree with what Rhett believes but I always agree with the way he thinks.
Honestly I didn't have much first impression of Link and Rhett. First video ran into of theirs was either the facebook or american idol song. It was just a random youtube vid some one showed me and thought was funny and moved on. The second time was a video of them eating something strange a few years later and kind just shrug and moved on again. I feel a little bad saying it but really wasn't until I ran into ear biscuits that I became a fan. Going through podcast phase and thought wow these are some interesting and funny guys. Later would put it together they were same people have seen before.
Link compliments his friend ❤️💯
Wait, am I just not remembering or is this the first time they’ve had a sponsor on the podcast?
I really want that girl's street sweeper father to listen to the Jimmy Buffett song "It's My Job"
Link’s glasses scream 1972 Elvis. Yes I’m an old beast.
👏👏👏👏👏
