    They are only doing these type of videos all of a sudden so people search ‘Rhett and link’ to try and promote their trash short films lol

    • @waterloo-sunset

    I’m convinced god made gmm take off so that link didn’t go into an engineering career.

    To possibly spare some injuries and possibly fatalities.

    If I’m on a bridge and was told the person who designed it can’t use a knife and stumbles while talking, I’d want to get off the bridge ASAP.

    Thank god for that because gmm is the only reason I get up in the morning.

    I never would have thought my favorite show would be on YouTube

    the filming time confused me. They film that day’s episode at 2am and then it’s edited and posted that same day hours later?? That just seems like a poor scheduling choice

      September 26, 2024 at 9:08 pm

      It was a joke. They’re filmed a few weeks in advance- ie when Covid happened they had around 2 weeks of videos where it said “filmed in advance of the pandemic” at the bottom.

    Rhett and Link are perfect examples of why western, Protestant Christianity is and always has been broken. I encourage you to look into Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

  29. @zymphyr9140

    September 28, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    The reasoning behind why Rhett has always been on the left and Link on the right was actually quite interesting

  30. @ladonsewell4558

    September 28, 2024 at 1:53 pm

    Sorry Rhett but Link is over top 💯 I can’t watch All ur videos or a whole one….. He is so picky he not a good taste tester

    Where on the spectrum is Link?

  40. @promytheuz5065

    September 28, 2024 at 4:47 pm

    How they still have a big youtube page is beyond me. These two cringe actors are horrible.

  41. @randomasshumanbeing2078

    September 28, 2024 at 4:55 pm

    There’s no way i’m a 17 year old girl and I wear the same shoe size as Rhett

    Edit: I know he wears a men’s. I do too. It’s hard to find a 13 in women’s, so I use 12 or 12 1/2 in men’s.

    September 28, 2024 at 7:38 pm

    When did Jason Momoa and Dana Carvey replace Rhett And Link? 😂

  51. @thedelightfuldad8711

    September 28, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    Why was it so scary for them to turn their backs to their faith? Well, Hebrews says “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God”. I’d say it’s also fearful and terrifying to turn your back on Him. They should be scared and question their lives. I hope they never find peace until their souls are saved.

  52. @squatchh_

    September 28, 2024 at 10:32 pm

    Hope we dont regret anything link said is so real

    September 29, 2024 at 1:29 am

    12.5 does not exist as a shoe size outside of mountain climbing shoes in the US. Shoe makers stop making half sizes after 11.5. I know this as a fact because I wear 13s which are mildly too large but 12s are a but too small but 12.5s are not available. I have found out that there are some European sizes that are closer to a 12.5 but they are not listed as 12.5 on the size. TLDR, Rhett was lying about his shoe size.

    September 30, 2024 at 3:43 am

    SPOILER ALERT – They film the entire week within 2-3 days TOPS (sometimes 1-2 days) and then works 1 day with Spork and another day overseeing al general edits for their projects.. then take a 4 day weekend

    Hello WIRED, The ONLY Thing that Rhett James McLaughlin and The Real Name of Link is Charles Lincoln Neal III Didn’t Answer Was as a Basic Simple Easiest Question Ever and It Was, When Is Their Own Birthday? The Answer to It is On Wikipedia, which are: Rhett James McLaughlin on October 11, 1977 and Charles Lincoln Neal III on June 1, 1978. WIRED, Why Didn’t Rhett James McLaughlin Charles Lincoln Neal III Answer is a Basic Simple Easy Question on Your Channel In Front Of The Camera, It Doesn’t make Any Sense at all!!! 🤔

    my question is, when did these 2 realize they dont need gods to be men? how weak were there minds that they needed that much fake cult stuff?

    Rhett & Link are proof that you can be successful for DECADES, universally liked and not have a proper scandal about them

    “We’re each married to a wife” doesn’t sound quite right. Sounds like you’re saying you’re both married to the same one.
