I'm Rhett and I'm Link and this is the Wired autocomplete interview.
0:06
I thought you were going to do it, but then right when he came up here and we spoke, we decided that you were going to.
0:11
I was looking at his shoes.
0:24
What did Rhett and Link do before GMM?
0:20
We graduated from college.
0:20
We became engineers.
0:24
Yes, we made the logical transition to full-time Christian missionaries.
0:28
Yes, then we made the logical transition to full-time YouTubers.
0:31
We made music videos.
0:31
We made uh, internet stuff and then uh, we make Good Mythical Morning.
0:40
So that's it.
0:43
Yeah.
0:49
What degrees do Rhett and Link have?
0:43
I tend to run a little bit cooler than the average person.
0:49
Legitimately, he has a degree in comedy.
0:50
Can you tell?
0:50
I have an industrial engineering degree.
0:53
I designed not how any not the make what is that what do he has a civil engineering degree I have a civil engineering degree?
1:09
What rings do Rhett and Link wear?
1:07
People call this our friendship ring.
1:11
It's an Oura Ring, not a sponsor, but we did invest in Oura.
1:11
I mean, they're not paying us to say it.
1:13
It says wear it on your index finger.
1:15
So we both got these rings and we both put them on the same finger and people think that it's a friendship ring and we're fine with them thinking that.
1:23
And we're fine with them thinking that.
1:30
But it doesn't seem like I am.
1:28
This is my wedding ring.
1:28
This is my wedding ring.
1:30
We're each married to a wife.
1:40
What time do Rhett and Link film GMM?
1:33
We begin filming at 2 a.m. Pacific Time every single day, right?
1:46
Live-to-tape.
1:40
It is edited.
1:43
It is spit out on the internet immediately, at least that's what people seem to want to believe, so that's what I'm telling you.
1:49
But we get to start our weekends early, right?
1:51
For that reason.
1:54
What do we have here?
2:00
When did Rhett and Link, when did Rhett and Link get popular?
2:00
I mean, that's better than how on Earth did Rhett and Link get popular?
2:08
You don't know, that might be next.
2:08
I think it was freshman year in high school, yes, when we somehow talked those sophomore girls, Tabitha and Jamie, into being our girlfriends and everybody was like, well, hold on now.
2:08
And Rhett's parents had to drive us to the movie theater, all four of us in the back seat.
2:08
How do you fit four high schoolers in the back of a Dodge Dynasty?
2:28
I don't know, we did it.
2:34
Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little smoosh action on the first date, you know.
2:34
And then when we were on the way back from the movie, it got a little bit quiet.
2:38
No one knew what to say.
2:42
And Link said it, sure we'll be nice when they make this road four lanes.
2:44
And you know what they did? They made it four lanes.
2:51
Well, and it was nice, it was nice, but we, it's not like you made it happen.
2:51
Pull, pull the next one.
2:51
Okay, that was and read it to me because I can't read it.
2:51
When did Rhett and Link deconstruct?
2:51
When did Rhett and Link spiritually implode?
2:51
You want to be serious about this for a moment?
3:06
Uh, sure will be nice when they make this road four lanes.
3:12
Our spiritual deconstruction was a long, grueling process, painful, the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life.
3:20
Me too.
3:20
We were steeped in Southern Bible Belt Evangelicalism, like the teabag that we were.
3:31
Please continue with this analogy.
3:33
Well, we brewed for a long time and then we started then we started to weaken and seep out.
3:39
It was a long, painful, scary process and I'm glad I was there for Rhett through the whole thing.
3:48
I don't think he would have made it.
3:48
Thank you, Link, uh, without me.
3:48
I'm very grateful for where I came from and who it made me to be, but also the parts that shed over the years.
3:48
So I'm, I'm, I'm in a good spot now.
3:48
Me too.
3:48
When is Rhett and Link's birthday?
3:48
We don't have the same birthday.
3:48
We did have the same first girlfriend.
3:48
We also lost our virginity in the same hotel, which the same hotel room though, I not at the same time, not at the same time.
4:20
One year apart.
4:25
One year apart.
4:20
Link had to get Tim, one of our friends, to go to the CVS to get three types of lube.
4:25
Why do you need three?
4:28
Why?
4:28
I was like, bring options.
4:28
Okay.
4:31
And a lot of it, I sort of, what, what made things happen that, you know, we didn't need a drug store to be involved.
4:48
When will Rhett and Link retire?
4:41
How can you retire if you don't have a job?
4:48
That's good, Link.
4:48
I mean, we're sitting here living the dream at a young age.
4:49
We were literally dreaming about this in abstract, not really knowing what YouTube could be or that anyone else would think we were capable of being entertaining or engaging.
5:06
Well, I think that every YouTuber is on a collision course with either retirement or irrelevance and we've been running from both forever, right?
5:18
So we'll see which one gets to us first.
5:21
Yes.
5:21
Would you like to peel?
5:30
How are Rhett and Link as bosses?
5:30
Well, I would say uh, figuring it out as we go along.
5:30
There did come a point where we were like, I think we're running a company, maybe we should read a book about that, right?
5:36
We were not just leading our audience of fans, but we were leading uh, a group of employees and building a culture.
5:48
I mean, once you start to realize that the actions you take have ripple effects through people's livelihoods, it becomes very intimidating and and it makes you read a few books, it makes you hire some coaches.
6:07
Why did Rhett and Link sell Smosh?
6:07
You know, their future was extremely uncertain.
6:18
We ended up buying Smosh and creating an environment where they could stay on their feet and and grow.
6:21
Anthony came back into the picture, met with with the in, they came to us and said, hey guys, what if we bought this thing back?
6:30
And we were like, we think that would be amazing.
6:32
We continue to want to be a positive force in the creator community and share what we've learned and expand what Mythical means, but also benefit other creators and kind of show the way as we're fumbling forwards lots of times, honestly.
6:58
Are Rhett and Link no longer best friends or just friends?
7:00
You had a little best in there.
7:00
I think that people have this tendency, they want to believe that it is an impossibility for two people who have been friends since they were first graders, who have worked together all this time, to still actually be friends when their friendship has become monetized.
7:22
I think I understand why people would think, well, really isn't it just a business now?
7:26
What we ended up realizing is that we actually have to focus on the friendship apart from the business in order to make sure that the friendship doesn't just exist for the business.
7:39
I actually think it's a really healthy thing that we have to keep coming back together and we have to keep having a good time together because then we end up having a good time together.
7:45
We can't help ourselves.
7:47
You you got to saddle that horse.
7:50
That's right.
8:00
Rhett and Link inspirational quotes.
7:57
Okay, what oh man once said, I just need some inspirational quotes.
8:00
At the intersection of doubt and hope is where growth happens.
8:07
When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and let the world wonder how you did it.
8:14
Wow, that I'm actually kind of inspired by that.
8:18
Yeah, I can't help myself.
8:23
Oh oh, I get to rip them again.
8:30
Who owns Rhett in the context of um Good Mythical Morning?
8:30
Using the parlaments of our times, I would say that Stevie owns us quite frequently, you know, puts us in her place.
8:40
Yeah, she called us boys for a long time and then Rhett had a problem with that so then she started calling us everything else under the sun.
8:46
I think she called us um queef biscuits once.
8:48
She did that.
8:52
She did that.
8:52
I actually kind of like that one.
8:54
Nobody owns us.
8:54
Mythical Entertainment is an independent organization owned by me, us, and him.
9:06
Who's Rhett and who's Link?
9:06
Our first thing that we ever did was perform live comedy music.
9:09
I played a guitar, I'm right-handed, the neck of the guitar goes this way, it would be right here.
9:15
So I didn't like that.
9:17
And then we went and performed at this but we were always known as Rhett and Link.
9:50
Yeah, but they they had a Rhett and Link logo on a screen behind us one time we were performing and we like were like oh now I realize that they're going to think that you're Rhett and I'm Link and that's the last thing I want is for people to think I'm Rhett, right?
9:50
And so we switched places and we have stayed that way ever since.
9:50
When you get stopped in public, what do people call you?
9:50
They call me Rhett, but they call me Rhett too.
9:46
Yeah.
9:54
Why don't Rhett and Link, that's a long one, feed themselves?
9:50
Oh yeah.
9:50
Why are these grown ass men getting employees to reach on the camera and feed them?
9:58
Yeah, that's a great question.
10:03
Speed.
10:03
We thought it was funnier that way.
10:05
Even when we're on another channel, right?
10:07
There's a hand ready to feed us.
10:10
KG has very very clean hands.
10:13
I don't, Link doesn't as well and when you've got dirty hands and you eat food, what happens is is you taste your hands.
10:21
You just want to taste the food, you don't want to taste hand.
10:30
Rhett and Link handshake.
10:26
Our senior year we went to prom and we didn't dress up much in those days.
10:32
So when we put on tuxes, especially tuxes with tails, when you're dressed in that fashion, you feel like you need to shake hands with someone who's also dressed in that fashion.
10:41
I bet you we didn't even talk about it.
10:43
I bet you it's just something that just happened, you know, it's like, hey, my girlfriend's dad taking our picture and we got tuxes on so.
10:52
I don't know, you just lift a leg every time we take a photo, every time we dress up like a red carpet, you know, because I mean, we practically live on a red carpet.
11:46
We we always do that pose, it's it's the pose.
11:46
Rhett and Link Blood Oath.
11:46
This was when we were we're going to, between 14 and 16, we went out to the cow pasture that we frequented, we basically had this discussion back and forth and we decided we were going to do something big together, but we wrote it down on a sheet of paper and then we got a sharp rock that was all that was available and we cut our fingers and we signed a oath in blood and because people are now Googling this, I feel like we should create an image for people so when they search Rhett and Link Blood Oath, they can actually see it.
11:46
We have a box cutter.
11:46
Okay.
11:46
We'll do it.
11:46
Well, we're going to do it later.
11:46
Okay, Link, you got your own board.
11:46
This is what people are wondering about.
12:04
Link.
12:08
People want to know about me, not about you.
12:08
Link Neal, the three 'I's.
12:08
Link Neal, I, I, I, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:08
Charles Lincoln Neal the third, that's me.
12:05
I've always gone by Link, except my Nana would call me little Link, because her husband was Link.
12:22
Pull me off, I mean just let's keep going.
12:22
Why can't Link Neal use knives?
12:22
Yeah, what's up with that?
12:22
Because sometimes I, I get my hand on a knife and and uh things go sideways for sometimes.
12:22
We do let him use a knife.
12:22
We gave him a knife on his birthday, he was like giving a little baby cake.
12:22
It was beautiful.
12:22
Is Link Neal a DJ?
12:22
Oh enough about me, a little more about me.
12:22
I am not a DJ, but uh my alter ego Elkhound Snugglebaby is a DJ.
12:43
He's not charging money for the parties that he DJs because he just doesn't think he can.
12:52
What does Link Neal's tattoo say?
12:59
This tattoo says, "Aoy."
12:59
It's Elvish.
12:59
It says, "You're special."
12:59
It's a matching tattoo that I have with my daughter, she was like, "Dad, I want to give you the gift of us getting matching tattoos for my birthday, I believe it was."
13:14
And that's how I got talked into getting a tattoo and then I couldn't stop.
13:16
I could talk about me forever, but oh no, the Rhett board, my turn.
13:32
What shoe size does Rhett Mclaughlin answer that man?
13:32
Oh, where, where, I don't know if this is going to disappoint you, but it's only 12 and a half.
13:32
You're lying, dude.
13:32
You're wearing 11.
13:32
What are you talking about?
13:32
We we have the same shoe size.
13:32
I wear a 12 and a half.
13:32
Are you crazy?
13:32
Let me see, take the shoe off.
13:48
What size is it?
13:54
Hold on, just just what size is the shoe?
13:54
This is a 12 because not every brand makes a 12 and a half.
13:54
I'm just, I just stand up for the truth.
13:54
I'm all about justice.
13:54
Rhett McLaughlin basketball record.
13:58
Oh God, how much time do you have?
14:01
I mean, I can't go outside without people coming out to me and saying, "Oh, hey, hey, hey, are you the guy that holds the single season three-point record at Harnett Central High School from the year 1996, 77 made three-pointers in one season?"
14:15
What you're so tall, you have a 12 and a half shoe.
14:15
How does a guy like that make 77 threes?
14:15
Wow.
14:15
Rhett McLaughlin smile.
14:15
I can also smile with my mouth open, but you won't see my teeth.
14:15
I think that's what it should be.
14:15
Rhett McLaughlin teeth, does he have any?
14:15
Rhett McLaughlin hair routine.
14:15
My hair routine is wake up, put a little water on it, put some curl trigger on it, walk out the door.
14:15
You got to get the curl trigger if you want to get the girls triggered, you know what I'm saying?
14:15
I'm just that's just what it says on the bottle.
14:15
That's all the bo.
14:15
Hopefully we won't regret anything that Link said today.
14:15
I am just flattered that people Google us.
14:15
Thank you for being interested in me and him a little bit.
14:15
Yeah, and me.
