of weird that everyone talks about you guys being the tall guys but always been like I don't know kind of like a sleeper you're always sitting down right that's the issue we got to do more things where we're sit well I can't stand up my legs are broken in three places I'd love to see you try welcome Rett and Link everybody good work absolute internet Legends internet fathers you were smash's father for quite a while yeah people have started saying grandfather grandfather how do how do you feel about that can we say like a adopted Uncle ad uncle uncle but Uncle but sometimes like Uncle I feel like uncle has the wrong connotation okay yeah uncles get a bad rap stepdads but what about a fun yeah steep at funkle I think the funkle works yeah fun you know the fun uncle that two funes takes you to the place that you shouldn't be we we uh we we were talking to one of our friends recently and he was like we have other friends and each other he was like my uncle my uncle was kind of young like when I was 12 he was in his 20s and uh one day he picked me up from school and was like I have I have something that I want to do for you and it was take him to smoke weed for he was 12 yeah he was like I want you to do it for the first time with me oh your uncle um that's a funkle I don't know about fun do you guys think you're funes I'm not that kind of fun okay you're not going to pick me up from from smos one day and take take me to smoke some weed no no probably not and your Camaro yeah I'm sure it was thank you for coming on here uh my god let's go through some of your stats cuz these are these are crazy nine billion views on Good Mythical warning it's a few that's just a few I mean it's not as many as small no but close over a billion on Good Mythical Moore okay you got 900 million on red and Link okay lag that's kind of crazy it goes like the red Link channel started before the Good Mythical yeah Channel like way before but it's only got 10% of the views what's up we're trying to get some momentum okay you well have you done the video uh uh the view per video breakdown oh is that when you do over 2500 episodes of something eventually if you don't get the numbers you're just something's wrong with you you know you should we should have quit a long time ago MH 25500 epis well I don't know what it is now we celebrated 2500 sometime last year yeah yeah we only count the big round numbers that's important we're waiting for 3,000 now okay what do you what are you going to do at 3,000 whatever the team tells us that's kind of how it works okay you know so at this point you just do whatever they say well they they they you know they make no let's like let's be clear about this we wrote entirely we wrote the our uh our we're still doing it song this year yeah we did we wrote that entire song that was a really fun song I listened to that song we wrote it yeah yeah still in your head it yeah cuz well cuz I think like I sometimes sometimes one forgets that you guys well I guess not so much anymore cuz you're doing your own music now you're doing the solo thing um but like sometimes one forgets that Rett and Link did sort of begin as a musical Channel yeah yeah in fact we were called Lonely Island oh yeah interesting yeah okay what happened to the third guy uh he became much more successful than went on to make television and movies well congrats on hot rod that was a fun movie oh thank yeah yeah underrated Big Time M definitely agreed yeah going all the way back we were looking at your channel we were trying to think like what was like the first breakout hit there was there was one video before this video we're going to show that has millions but it really seemed like this was your first big viral hit and it was the Facebook song mhm yeah just called faceb song yeah very simple it was a song about Facebook okay that's right and was this before Myspace the movie no this was 2007 okay this was like a year and a half after now this song was probably written in 2005 I would think really and then it just you made the video later yeah because as you know as we we've told our our long B Bird's backstory on the internet a few times but because we were doing the like Christian College Ministry thing after right after college a lot of the stuff that we were making at that time was stuff that we would make for some conference where we were going to get up there and sing in front of everybody so we wrote the Facebook song to get up in front of a bunch of college students and sing it live on stage and then later we're like oh well let's make that into a song I mean a video oh it was a decent bit like we had we like infiltrated people's Facebook accounts and and then we like showed them on the big screen and just basically made fun of people's Facebook accounts when it and it was still when it was College only it was College that's right feel it's kind of ahead of its time like like integrating like online stuff into like a live bit like I feel like a lot of people do that now like live shows buted you guys invented it 2005 so let's let's see uh where it all started back when you invented this song and uh feel free to tell us to pause if you want to talk about anything actually pause it right now pause it so so here's the thing I think a lot of people I thought that I was really pushing this character very very far to make it very clear that I'm playing a character it looks like it's just kind of like you but a lot of people because when you because we've been on the internet for so long when you look at us in the past and we look so different people are like oh that's how Rett used to do his hair and his beard plus you have a beard so it looks like you could totally was that a real beard it was AET it was a fake beard it was a completely fake oh yeah but now that you have this it looks like you could have grown you could do the chin strap it was a fake beard and then I was like I'm going to grease my hair up and comb It Forward very Amish no mustache link okay so now move to what link look like yeah and so that was your real mustache I think it was and then you were like I'm going to part my hair down the middle because that's crazy right like we literally thought now just right now I mean you're you're kind of you're kind of gening it here actually you look actually this would be considered cool and I would say you look cool there yeah cuz you got the middle part wearing the same shirt never yeah look at the size of that laptop yeah that's is that a MacBook Pro it's like a 17inch MacBook Pro yeah so we were in our minds we were playing characters which you'll see when we show the Facebook uh profiles they're not our names yeah okay I just can't get over how you actually just look like a normal dude right now yeah yeah yeah I peaked it in I guess we didn't have hair and makeup professionals helping [Music] got to have that R link.com Burn yeah with the 70s font we did the same thing we had smash.com burn in y oddly enough I feel like their interface hasn't changed much it hasn't changed a lot looks almost same color SCH so you see R Smalls and Link Lamont right so these were the names that we so you so this is even more confusing because I would just think I would just think this is your name and this is you yeah well again not very po this was not strategic for our careers right yeah um so Rett Smalls the last name was is it because you're so tall so it's like oh you're small no you just live next to a pond called Lake small okay doxing yeah but didn't I thought that these names came from the characters that we created in Second Life when we thought that we were going to do the first ever music video in Second Life back in the day and these were a couple of the last names that you could choose from and that's why you're link Lamont that's that's my memory but memory gets distorted when you access it so I could be wrong and L Lamont was the coolest guy in our elementary school so I just made his first name my last name wow oh and then these Facebook profiles were kind of like us launching well people befriended these characters thinking they're us and like there was like a 5,000 person friend limit oh you had real accounts the these were real accounts and they went to 5,000 friends very very quickly and then we just had these stupid accounts that weren't us that had the friend limit we were like we have to use these for I forg they had a friend limit and all these weird weird things College only friend limit yeah and my my Twitter account was also link Lamont for years for the same reason I feel like I remember that name and I just assume that was thought it was my name I assume that was your last name for the longest time yeah and they assume that you had this greasy hair as a as a just a choice we should just let it play and then and then cuz it's I mean it's a long song with a lot of really well wealth crafted jokes great can't wait Che it out it feels very Christian already let's see see how much more very Christ code all of these jokes worked really well with a Christian College crowd okay to with pictures of and of and unici of we got a SEL di joke there it's so funny all the pop culture references are so unnecessary you okay that is paining oh no oh no guys you're distracting me from watching my guys we're trying to sorry sorry look at that flash we just had Ian's foot has fallen off I'm sitting here trying to watch my video I know I was I was jamming out sorry I got excited my my leg detach oh fudge Ian your ankle stop pulling around we're trying to watch cinematic history we leave it there we'll reattach it as long leave it there put it on ice we'll get it later yeah we'll just put it on ice we we'll we'll Stitch it back together all right [Music] sorry okay link is giving me real creepy Vibes now that's my wife that's that's your wife yeah that was not her name though Facebook Hey it says that link status is changed he's playing the recorder oh that's nice oh that hey that's clever your status has changed that cuz you used to have to put your status yeah I really played this recorder oh that was you yeah that's me playing that act fire I'm really good at the recorder tell Andre 3000 you're the Andre 3000 of recorders I forgot you could literally put Could you actually put we hooked up yes we hooked up that was a status that you could choose for your relationship with someone we hooked up can you imagine going to someone's page and be like okay they hooked up they hook right does that not surprise you I mean Facebook was originally created to like R rank women in okay you're right those are the remnants there of [Music] that that F that was very uh mypy Firefox cuz that was the cool that was a cool browser at that time this is the streets of Lillington North Carolina okay that's also looking creepy that's looking creepy as well Y is that a real person yep see there you go you get some real man on the street shots see people didn't realize I was playing a character here that I'm insulted by that it really feels like you're just playing yourselves I still have that coat in the back of my car right now because I don't have the reference of what you were actually like at the time it's really [Laughter] rebook [Music] you guys are good hold up that is really good yeah so all so all that was here we go bright and R Smalls and see we wanted you to and then you got 5,000 friend request immed yes this is definitely like a this is definitely a mug shot that's that's those are definitely mug shots yeah for certain crimes we're not going to joke about on we can't say it on the internet Funk funkle crimes they call them fun funcle crimes definitely funkle crimes for sure no Maybe not maybe not fun Uncle crimes those are uncle uncle crimes bad bad uncle yeah anyway why do you think that went so viral was it just the timing um Facebook released the ability to post videos on their wall like you remember there was a wall where you could like put anything on anybody else's and they allowed the Eds of of YouTube videos and it would count the views they used to they used to they didn't and then they did like and then if mon the numbers were going like crazy compared to anything that we had ever seen interesting so was that video on YouTube climbing the ranks on YouTube as well because back then obviously there was no algorithm so it was like you would see what was the most viewed of the day of the week or the month but it was slow because it was happening the cycle is so short now of virality right it's like if it doesn't pop in the first 24 hours it's not going to MH I don't remember specifically the timeline but it was definitely like a matter of months where we were like man this thing's still really getting a lot of views like yeah you know it was it was boosting our Channel yeah yeah that was kind of the crazy thing about I feel like back in the day like if you had something that was like popping off it really did like Elevate the rest of the Channel people would go watch that video and because there wasn't a lot of great content on YouTube at that time people would be like okay this is like a quality creator I'm going to then take the time to go through their entire Library it was rare to find a content creator and not like a person just upload a random video that went viral right yeah so it was like oh there's more of this they are producing more stuff you could literally create a fan out of a video yeah just one video you can get a fan for your entire Channel yeah right that's so cool um well that video currently has 17 million views this video blew up and there were they uh you were contacted from marketing agencies and started started essentially making your own brand deals from this point yeah yeah there was a one marketing agency that like their head of creative was like a fan of this and then started pitching us for stuff and it happened at just the right time where we got a deal with Alka Seltzer what ala Seltzer they wanted us that like the the agency pitched us to like do this like 21 video series where it was like road trip based they wanted the sclar brothers to do it but then they passed they were like let's get these guys from the internet who they sold it completely on the Facebook song and I mean and that paycheck happened it was that was one of those moments where it was like we can continue to do this because of this job that we have Anthony and I were having a fight over which should be the first video we show everybody because because he remembered the one with the pillows that you guys I like the pillows a lot later I know that one of the biggest I feel like that was a turning point though well when you say a lot later the way that it was it was a lot later like in the scheme of our career but it was probably only two to three years later in actuality there was so much happening between 07 to to 10 like those three years were probably the most pivotal and in EV the preg GMM of us sort of becoming full-time creators and getting into a place where we actually were making consistent videos that were getting a lot of yeah I feel like it was within that time frame that YouTube was finally considered an actual place to to produce stuff cuz people started making money on there and they started running Production Studios kind of yeah right but you you made the right choice this is the one that like our entire career you say I made the right choice and made the right choice this one he he was dead set on the pillow cuz the pillow video is awesome pillow I just wanted to watch the pill but that was more like oh they can continue to do sponsor videos that people want to watch that was after T-Shirt War too so it was like this T-Shirt War was a big milestone and the pillows the pillows T-Shirt War because Ray William Johnson featured it on that's right it was funny it was you know like as a favor of Joe Penna honestly yeah know yeah because he knew Joe and Joe directed that video and helped us helped us edit but that was a time where you know like when you talk about The Tonight Show back in the day in the 80s '90s maybe a little bit but like if you were a standup and you went on the tonight's show that was it you made your career yeah these were the days where like you get on Equals Three yeah that might be that might be the thing but he typically just roasted people who really weren't creators so it was weird that he he I think he actually felt weird about it but he wanted to do it so he was like I'm actually I'm going to roast these guys a lot of Stu look at these dumb idiots right most of it yeah yeah uh I thought the pillow video which we didn't show was so interesting to me because it blew up so big and it was sponsored yeah that was what was surprising because at that time people were not accepting of sponsored videos you now it's accepted everyone has a sponsor in the middle of their video but it was like a whole video dedicated to this brand and it was cool it was find out until the end though yeah people didn't know and that's the thing is back then you kind of had to well you didn't have to disclaim it right at the top you didn't have yeah you didn't have to there was no disclaimer right yeah FCC guideline we always had that little call the CTA at the end of the video so we did that that was our bread and butter for like that 3 four year period was that was where all the income was coming from those big onetime videos and I feel like so many of those brand deals like in the early days were so Random like you said like Alka Seltzer and right like or yeah like a pillow company yeah our first do you remember our first Smoothie King smoothie king which is like a regional smoothie chain like in the South and other areas but like we've never heard of Smoothie King and it was like they paid us like 500 bucks to like do this contest we could actually make money doing this yeah and contest yeah they want to do to promote their user generated yes yeah contest it was there's always a contest let's go on to your next yeah I feel like this is this is pivotal in a different sense this is your Chuck Testa commercial okay and I think it's so wild because I mean a has 19 million views it blew up it was super viral you uploaded it in 2011 but you uploaded this to Chuck testa's page not even your guys's page yeah and it blew up yeah I feel like and and also like I want to point out like you guys created a meme like yeah I don't know if you knew that this was going to become a meme but I guess let's let's just let's just watch it some people this one's pretty short so we can watch it and then and then yeah let's watch it first you probably thought this deer was alive and this coyote was alive and this pheasant was alive nope n they're not they're dead they've been taxidermized by Chuck Testa ohigh Valley taxid I specialize in the most like dead animals anywhere period look at that antelope driving a car yep no it's just Chuck Testa oh no there's a bear in my bed no Chuck Testa hold on a second there's a leopard feeding on an Impala out on my deck no it's just Chuck Testa with another realistic me ship to me from anywhere call Chuck Tesa like dead animals around period did that Rino just order a drink no duck Testa does not tax or demise pets okay he does not tax or demise pets he wanted us to put that in there only game only game because he said that you never make the pet owner happy oh yeah cuz they they're like this doesn't look like them it's like it's like getting a portrait of your child yeah with but with black soulless eyes never works everyone's disappointed okay I'm going to tell you the the super speed story of how we got to this point okay okay because it goes back to a sponsor one night link and I were doing a live stream back in lington North Carolina in our basement studio and there was just a fan watching and he started messaging us and he was like guys I want to talk to you on the phone we're like okay and then he was like I want to sponsor the song that you're making right now because we were doing a song about the 2008 financial crisis right and we were writing it live Banger and he he ran a company called micro built which basically was sort of backend administrative services for small businesses right and he was like I want to sponsor this I'm going to pay you guys $5,000 which was by far the most money that we had seen for a video right yeah cuz we we P we muted the live stream and got on got on the phone with him oh so he sponsors that video and then he's like I love what you guys do what else can we do together and then and we said he told us nothing he told well he told us what he did he was like I provide these services for these small businesses says so we came up with an idea we said what if we made local commercials for some of your actual real businesses and real clients and that was when the red house and the Cuban gynecologist and the uh colan liquidation the the the the trailer salesman down in Alabama all those commercials butt drugs I love butt drugs a lot of those that went viral before Chuck Testa was because of that sponsor that called us at the time and then when those commercials started going viral that was when you know people out here in California started reaching out and said we want to make a TV show around you guys making commercials that led to commercial Kings on IFC that's why we moved out here and that's where Chuck Testa came from damn everything culminated and we were we were trying to think did you guys get the news that you got the show we were with you guys on some weird trip in Miami we were in Miami yes we were in the fonton blue H Lobby yeah yeah that's when we got the call that it got picked up from Pilot Christy and Jesse were with us yep that's where we met we met your wives yeah that was that was yeah that was crazy I was I wasse was there that night uh some people that are cancelled not all of them were not all time you start thinking about you're like okay and yeah and just I I just yeah I was getting I was getting zooted off uh off Long Island Ice I had four or five long I season that was probably one of the drunkest nights of my life that was that was the worst life you're celebrating our show getting picked yeah I was so happy for you yeah um I think uh I think we got dinner together yeah and I I barely remember it I think uh I think I ordered I think I ordered cuz I was like look I know it's fed up but we can't I don't think it's legal in California right we got to get it while we can get it got to get it while I can get it okay so I had to know I don't remember I didn't I didn't order it after that point I've only had once okay don't come me all right so let me tell you about Chuck though yeah so the way that commercial Kings worked they hired a casting agency to find potent potential businesses for us to make commercials for and we said what kind of areas yeah so we like yeah we like the idea of a taxidermist and then they got Chuck to send in like a self tape like his son the guy who is pointing at the Impala he made the video of Chuck just're sitting there working with an animal so we just heard his like dead pan delivery and his kind of accent I don't know what is that an ohigh Valley accent and uh he never said nope but then after we watched we like yes we're going to do something with this guy he's seems like he'd be fun to play around with and when we showed up we would we would show up with a very loose concept for what we wanted the commercial to be and we knew that we like this idea of the most lifelike dead animals around and we like the idea of him being like Oh let's show this dead animal acting like it's alive and then he's like nope and so we wrote nope and we we had in our mind in our head saying nope Chuck Testa nice but then every time he said it he was like nope he was like we're like uh that's not right no we we need to hear you saying it like we hear you saying it yeah in our minds right did you get him there oh yeah I mean that yeah oh yeah yeah gu he does and him like really trying really hard to say it is actually what contributes to this extra level of uncanny valley off that really I guess the entire video is that uncanny valley yeah uh and then the no Chuck Tesa it it went viral like just that CP alone became a mem became a meme uh yeah it was funny because we've got a a a close friend now who worked in marketing 10 years ago like when this was happening and well one day it hit him after he had known us for 2 years that we had made this commercial he was like he was like my my world has been turned upside down because this is the thing that we used as an example of like viral marketing back in the day and our family and our friends were anytime somebody said nope they said or nope they would just say Chuck Testa after it he says I can't believe that you guys are the ones that created it even though we are in the commercial at the very end at the bar just to be okay we we are in it but you're not looking for us you can't see us right couple things I remember about it the guy who was like oh no there's an Impala out on my deck and like he's he very emphatically says deck yeah because he kept saying it it sound like he was saying out of my again and again and again some of the most fun we've ever had is just getting just feeding people lines like when we were making all these commercials and just kind of because we're not performing we're directing it was just like it was a different creative exercise yeah how can we thread this needle of are we making fun of you or are we having fun with you yes and and we get to try to be funny without looking like we're trying to be funny right one of the reasons a lot of people don't like a lot of comedians or us is that it's like oh you guys obviously think you're funny and you're trying to be funny yeah but when it just looks like oh this is just an accident and that's my type of humor is just seeing something accidentally funny but yet it was still engineered it's like that's our favorite of thing yeah and directing these non actors to say these lines like it's always going to be a little bit funky yeah cuz I mean like Anthony and I have very similar experience up in back when we were shooting things in Sacramento we would we would get people that you know actors we would call them saors cuz Sacramento Sacramento actors and like some some were good there were there were some that were like really surprisingly good and then there's others where it's like okay like this is this is like a hobby it's something you want to try and and yeah I felt the same way when you're saying like trying to get him to say it a certain way and it's like yeah typically with actors like you're not supposed to tell them exactly how to say something but with saors you do yes sometimes like you're like okay let's try that again and maybe like ramp up the energy or maybe say it exactly like we're saying it right maybe just move your lips and I will say it in post actually we did we yeah I voiced over a woman one time yeah yeah no I think and then we reshot one scene either way yeah yeah yeah we yeah but you guys were the first example that I was seeing of people consistently making viral sponsored pieces like I mean I mean these videos and then I mean you have the entire show every commercial we made before the television show yeah was sponsored by micro built that one that guy crazy and and so we created a a website love local commercial.com that then had his branding all over it so it was more of like go to this landing page so that you can watch the behind the scenes videos and see all of his branding and then like nominate your favorite local business for a free commercial the business got the free commercial they got a free commercial and they could do whatever they wanted to with it and so we wanted to keep the spirit of that alive and that's why for the TV show this commercial ends up being on Chuck Tessa's Channel like you want to with and he just was like well I guess I'll put it on YouTube do you know how any of those affected these businesses he he he started selling a lot of t-shirts uhhuh oh yeah people usually would sell t-shirts because you know a lot of people wouldn't either buy a couch or like send their tiger into to be tax toiz you know so it's like t-shirts and mugs and then like showing up at conventions and stuff and it was mostly for the fun of it that's awesome and then we are just moving down the timeline it's a good mythical morning yes which the channel already existed but you were putting it somewhere other than your R Link channel and I remember when I first saw you doing that I was like they're crazy why would you put it on a different Channel you already have a successful Channel and I also thought it was crazy cuz at right at the top you were committing to was it five a week at that time five episodes a week and I had never seen anyone do a consistent show like that five a week am I remembering this right like this was kind of like a Make It or Break kind of like moment where you're you're like we're going to go for this and if this fails we'll just like go back home or am I am I making that up in my head we moved to LA to make commercial Kings yeah yeah the same time that Chuck Testa was going huge IFC was deciding to not order a second season cool so got it smart love that so then we were like left you know holding holding the bag full of dwindling money you know mhm M we had moved our families out and we didn't want to move back and um yeah that's when we set up the card table and R's uh converted garage behind his house decided that we were going to start doing five videos a day on a second Channel while we still tried to get like reacquire momentum with sponsored music videos on our main Channel and and sort of the the the precursor idea to that which was only done because of commercial Kings was what we did the last thing we ever really made in North Carolina which was good morning Chia Lincoln which was just like a month's worth of daily uh us sitting at the card table and kind of talking about whatever we want to talk about for 10 minutes we did that because we were like let's experiment with a format that is low lift easier to to do and is all about fan connection maybe there's something super easy that we can do just like talk to each other every day that even if this show pops off we'll have this thing in our back pocket that we can turn to to still maintain a fan base because we never we didn't want to lose the YouTube fan base right right and so then when the show didn't get picked up we were like well we could just kind of go back to doing that Daily Show but let's like make it more of a thing and that's what good mythical morning became yeah oh man it's just crazy huh I said that's smart yeah it's it's it's crazy that you took that huge risk and Not only was it successful it became your most successful thing that I would say you've maybe ever done yeah definitely so let's watch the first episode you ever made oh this is hard but I've watched it a number of times I'm willing to bet that my morning routine is unlike anyone else's on Earth hi I'm specialist oh yeah there's a lot of Clips you'd cut to huh let's talk about that oh so that was like the fan involvement you guys got you guys got a cool like intro already brought to you by Ora the first episode was already sponsored did they sponsor just the first episode or multiple so we were like let's get a sponsor for the first episode for whatever price they're willing to pay which was $300 oh okay okay okay because it wasn't about $300 it was about precedent and it was about wanting the audience to understand that we're going to do this is going to be sponsored a lot of the times and we want you to be okay with that because we anticipate this actually being the business model in the future I will say I still do have my aura brush yeah you should get a new one should I is it still around yeah in fact I just replac mine okay that I've had for years you're supposed to do it like every like six months or so did you have to buy that for $300 probably good by yourself let's watch it episode of Good Mythical Morning is brought to you by or there we go you don't know if your breath stinks it probably does and it probably comes from a dirty tongue because 90% of all bad breath comes from a dirty tongue go to CVS or according to or brush yourself one or a whole look at that call to action know Yep this is it link and did this mic was this mic ever actually truly recording the only one that's on okay so that kind of threw me right from the beginning because this is the beginning this is the beginning of Something Beautiful hopefully something special just pause there that's crazy to say right well we we like to speak things into existence we didn't know what manifesting was but we were really good at it yeah yeah you did okay you know you're shaping you're like all right you're telling the audience what you want them to think yeah and you got you got kind of a set going on here you got the lonel Richie doing the pose back there which is still kind of a motif that you guys have carried yeah um those are our real desks that's my real coffee mug silver thing like we would work facing each other so and the guitar that is still on the set of GMM today that gold oh oh yeah and then what are these posters back there what's that that's a blown up version of like the last CD of Music we released oh play all of the songs up to that point that we had put on the internet we made a CD oh okay got it got it all right you're you know whenever I'm beginning something new and you're talking about this show right I just want to clarify yeah the show you're talking about the show yeah what you think like our relationship I I didn't know if you were about to Blindside me with something you've been my best friend since 1984 I didn't think I had to Define that get some of the the lore in there clarify that we've been best friends forever when that happens whenever I'm starting something new I usually wear a v-neck all my day with a hoodie over it Like It Centers me emotionally we weren't that funny which is or funny at all which was like I think very approachable oh those guys AR funny I can hang out with them it's not it was a choice right right yeah it's not that you're not funny I think like what you guys are doing here is that like you said earlier I don't feel like you're trying to be funny it's already like very casual which which like doesn't put doesn't put me off you know I think you were establishing for the show too like it's a very casual hangout it's going to be sponsored it's going to be something really big like set it all up no edits oh that's the one thing that is a one take one we were determined like okay we just we don't want to have to edit it if we're doing it every day yeah and um we wanted to do an anti-log thing yeah that we didn't realize how much it would like the the laidback nature like we we're Southern we talk slowly we think you know so it's like we got to set ourselves up for Success if it's going to work it's got to work on our terms right I think I think that's I think that's so smart and I think if you were to look at all the other content that was going out at this time cuz this was 2012 y was it all the other content including ours is just so loud a lot of a lot of screaming at the camera a lot of cuts it was like 3 to 10 minutes at most but usually like around 3 three minutes right and you guys kind of did like yeah like you said like kind of the anti-log kind of approach which I think has aged this so much better cuz I'm thinking right now I'm kind of like self- analyzing the kind of content that that you know we would do at this time the more vloggy type stuff and it's and I think if we're were to watch that that would be a little a little painful yeah yeah and what and we were doing if we needed to communicate something to like the main Channel audience back in the day we did it it was a totally different style like cut cut cut and you're in the foreground then I'm in the foreground back and forth CU we were like when we talk to this audience it's like this when we talk to this audience it's like this you know it's like these calculated decisions that you just end up getting lucky that it works well that's that huge risk is where you're presenting yourselves exactly as you as like you would be most comfortable to present like this forever you know and you establish that and you're like if if people don't like it they're not going to watch it you're like that slow burn you know manifesting it into existence you're like here's the audience I want and they will if they come yeah yeah joined us thanks for watching we want this to be something like Rett said special we want it to be mythical we want this to be part of your daily routine we want it to be part of your morning routine or you know we already recognize that some people are going to be watching this thing perhaps you at a time that is not actually in the morning but it's always a mythical morning some getting that branding in you really plan this out though to the point where like here's what it's about here's what we want that's when your Mythical Morning happens you know we had new beginning we had a show last year called good morning CH it does have some youth pastor energy though that's okay in particular we're not going to be talking about yeah we had been like basically as a career we had been talk like getting up in front of students and like talking to them about things and explaining things and explaining strategy and stuff like that so that's the demeanor that you're and so yeah like I think that's in here we ended up unintentionally commandeering that same mode to to people on the internet but it works and I think to like just very like directly Define what the show is going to be in said expectation saying we're not going to be talking about like pop culture and stuff you can get that from yeah from Sexy Phil yeah right yeah I know he might have rebranded as Philip to Franco at this he was still Sexy Phil oh he was definitely Sexy Phil he was still Sexy Phil yeah I mean that's 12 years ago yeah it's a long time but yeah this I remember watching this episode and just being like what is what are they doing this is so weird so this was considered weird at the time because it was so different like no Cuts just we were weird man we were weirder than we realized but now looking back this seems normal compared to the type of stuff that was being released at the time on YouTube did you think that we were weird back then it's like whenever we would interact it was like I think there was always this like a little brow crinkle right because think it was like I don't I was like they have something else going on I don't understand like they're they're thinking like on a different level it felt like huh that's what I know I think was the clean cup part of it too though there was like these guys are cuz we were we were reasonably devout yeah at the time I didn't get that very back then okay I think the one thing that the one thing that stood out for me at this point I was like damn they already got wives and like hella kids that's the that's the one that's the only thing that stood out for me and then and then yeah no of the nothing else really no other thoughts yeah we were yeah cuz we were early 30s already yeah oh yeah I guess so like 32 I was like how do they juggle having a a whole family situation going on and then still creating shows and series and and that was another reason that it was was formatted like this too because it was like okay if we start a we didn't want to do the thing where it was like all about our families we didn't want to do that our wives would not have wanted to do that vog but also like edits you know the amount of editing that's your whole life you're just filming all the time and then you're editing all the time we were like we want to do other things we want to make content that's not this what's the minimum amount of time that you can invest into content for the maximum return it really was like an engineering no that's so smart a lot of people don't don't approach things in that with that back then people didn't approach new shows in that way where they like fully plan out okay what is going to take my time where do I want my time this was this almost felt like a live performance cuz it was all one take yeah yeah like you had to choreograph a lot you had to do a lot of planning at the top so it was easier it was like instead of spending the time editing it you were planning it beforehand we didn't plan as much as we should have and a lot of it was just because of our you know long-term friendship kind of knowing where you're going with something and just being able to interplay a lot of it was just kind of like in our heads but you are looking at something like right now as we're paused here I wonder if there's like a sheet down there that's got a little run of show weal five times we would do that from time to time yeah I could see that for the first episode that makes sense yeah first rule of Good Mythical Morning I just came up with it I did I I was hoping there wouldn't be any rules okay no rules no rules except we can't talk about Justin Bieber this is a bright spot in your day you know we had people write in about Good Mythical uh good morning and they said you know I watch it every morning when I'm eating breakfast I watch it when I get home from school I watch it right before I go to bed I'm a security guard this is how security guards talk I'm a security guard and they stand like this whenever if you ever notice when they're securing things when security guards speak they put their their fists on their hips I'm securing my belt to my hands I'm a security guard and I watch Good Mythical Morning while I'm securing this building here see you can watch it anywhere always a mythical morning wherever it is for you just make it a part of your day we'll release it 6:00 a.m. eastern time every weekday morning that's crazy you can count on it wait what was your schedule did you plan that schedule for that week and what was that like like did you have a plan for how you would manage to shoot that much content and release it at 3:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. over on the west coast yeah we were so this the idea of the 6 a.m. eastern was okay it's a Morning Show let's let's Center it around the East Coast because that's where most like that's how they do TV right yeah yep and so and there was a scheduling feature that had been introduced it's onpl on YouTube now like get up and but what at that time we were pretty much shooting almost every day and it was kind of the first thing that we would do like this is this was in my backyard this is a converted garage that was in my backyard so like link would drive over and then we would sit down and we would make the show and then we would go on about our day MH and then we had one guy working for us he would kind of take it edit it and then prepare it for upload the next day okay so you guys are kind of going on a dayby day kind of you didn't bat shoot and then you evolve to bat shooting later yeah right you can count on us people we want to be here for you but we need you to also be here for us we are also counting on you this there's a resp you fully committing to that schedule that big commitment that's another rule rule number two we have a no we don't have a word of the day that's a stupid role y see back off it's definitely not Justin Bieber let's think maybe that could happen I will say if we could get Justin Bieber to be a guest on this show I will begin to talk about it has it happen you tried to manifest that as well I violated my own rule twice right right that's not good I won't say it again we're several minutes in and we're still just talking about the show Good Mythical Morning the show that we are now doing as part of your daily routine we thought maybe a good topic for first conversation would be morning routines everybody's got one right link I certainly do I a big fan of R could use the cut there I thought it work maybe a title so was this one take or did you guys do multiple takes one take first just hit record and just I would say in the history of the of the show when we were doing it this way when it was one camera mhm 95 plus per of the time it was the first take there were sometimes when we would be like halfway in and like there was some tension somebody did something that was really stupid or the conversation went to a different place where we didn't want it to we be like who but you always when you started when you started thinking it you were like yeah it gets to much to no no don't don't stop don't stop you don't want have to start this over because because what there was some good stuff that happened it would always be Rett though because that would stop it yes it would be like it would be like 6 minutes in and then I would look over at Rett and he'd be looking at me like like why did you say this is not what we said we were going to talk about we need to so he'd be like sometimes he' just be like we we we got to stop and that is it's that is tough to recover did you need to take a break like it's tough to recover from when it's like what are you what are you doing this is not what we discuss and then so let's just start over and it's like you're like I was doing a bit it's like we do not want to start over and uh so sometimes we would just be like let's just go get lunch yeah you'd have to take a break and then we would come back step away from it yeah cool off but you guys were were mostly committed to this idea of doing no Cuts then cuz like yeah see that's wild cuz like you could have just cut and nobody would have said anything you could have also cut to a full screen graphic for the moment that you decided went off rails and I think might a little Stu started happening from time to time but yeah there was this sort of like nonsensical spiritual commitment to not cutting right you had principles yeah we have to we have to appreciate that we decided we would never cut yeah we can't go back on it now back on go to lunch yeah it's a slippery slope when you start cutting because then you're you're editing in your mind that's actually true too and you're not in the moment anymore and I think that we were forcing ourselves to just go through with it it's like you operating without a net it's like this it's very honest cannot the awkward pauses oh these guys are awkward at certain moments and I'm still here for it there is a connection that you that you feel when you see every moment MH you know and there's just more Stakes I guess which maybe keeps you on your toes a little bit more if you're thinking like in this I could be like oh we can cut this right um man a principal I like to get up I like to have coffee I'm not going to apologize and no music or anything don't berate me for liking coffee you know I think it's a great thing it's not an addiction I I I don't have to have it I just I really want to have it well you're not being defensive but I don't I don't have to have it right come on just just just off just give me give me a break people so what if I set my coffee maker to brew the coffee 30 minutes before I get up so it'll be at the optimal Brew temperature when I roll out of bed now that's going too far well that's so I roll out of bed I get my coffee I drink my coffee and then my mind as the coffee goes down into my entrails it's as if life Wells up from within the ental so coffee is a big part of your morning routine is that what you're saying and my entrails okay waking them up what else happens then I go to the bathroom and I turn on the hot water okay you mean you go you don't go to the bathroom you go to the bathroom you enter the bathroom I I enter the room I drink coffee and see it's those fun moments though that I think is what makes this so special is you could just feel that that wasn't something that you had rehearsed right right you know like it's it's essentially a podcast right yeah yeah oh it absolutely is it's like a video podcast for video podcasts that's true podcasts were just audio then but cuz so like can have video but people didn't really do it yeah and then that's and I think that's when you say this feels familiar now it's because like this is like half of Tik Tok at this point is like a clip from a podcast where people just talking to each other like this yeah and and even being in this setting and you sharing this really natural moment here I feel like as common as it is now back then it wasn't as common to see like two people just like having a genuine moment it was like we it was like camera in your face it was everything was so over the top so to see this I think was probably refreshing for a lot of people and that and this was the thing that was like the only thing that was a lot of stuff was calculated but a lot of the stuff that really worked wasn't calculated so that people think feeling like they were hanging out with us in real time again the calculation of that was we want to do this in as easy as way as possible we don't want to edit like we think we can carry on this conver ation we want it to be about this long because that's about how long it takes to tell a story like this or whatever but it was that Vibe of it feeling like Comfort content is what people would call it now no one really we didn't understand that at the time again it was because of the content but the link that ended up working because a couple years into the show YouTube makes this wholesale change to the algorithm where they're rewarding watch time and so then we're just like oh right place right time again that was the biggest impact of the these decisions ended up being for other reasons than we ever intended yeah it was about a year later they introduced the algorithm and it was uh really heavily leaning toward promoting longer content was that when they introduced the ability to add more insert more ads more mid rolles because I think it this time you uploaded this it was just one out of the top that sounds right I think mid rolls were a little bit behind that yeah but probably two years in is when there was that big change to watch time that that I remember I could be wrong MH and that's when all of a sudden the view count and the subscriber count just started we were like uhoh what's happening here like this is 2016 it was bigger than anything on the original Channel yeah you had already committed to uh to doing so many episodes that by the time that happened it was the right place right time but also You' put in the experi that the work in formulating a well-crafted show so it was like everything lined up right boom I Rel myself no I in the kitchen I no I I go to the room in my house that is the bathroom to the facility and I turn on the hot water I turn it on all the way hot you were about to say something and you didn't the lay the loop that's what the loop I go to the loop go to the loop turn the water all the way to hot because don't you you know how it is the water will come out and it'll be cold for a long time yeah that sucks what I do is I turn on the water all the way to hot which makes it get hot the quickest amount possible it doesn't dilute any lukewarm water with totally cold water wow and then I brush my teeth with hot water no with cold water from the sink but you're letting it get warm but I turn the hot water on in the tub that's what I forgot to tell you the tub I turn the hot water on in the tub tub yes write this down then in the sink I turn on the cold water so as not to divert any hot water from the tub where I'm going to use it in a moment while that water is getting hot brushing my teeth with cold water and the amount of time it takes for me to brush my teeth is the amount of time it takes for the water to get to the optimal temperature for me to then bathe no I'm rich now water's hot immediately tankless water heater preheat you preheat your shower water in the coffee pot disorder it's a disorder it's not an asset it's called being thoughtful and being principled let me tell you about my morning routine it I I I didn't I didn't even finish Le say this right then I take a bath while I take a shower or I just take a head shower depending on if I'm going to shave head shower I just I just put my head under the spet and I don't watch the rest of my I'm GNA call a professional about this every other day I shower and every other day I shave I can't do both because I don't have enough time my time is too valuable you know what write the rest of what you do in the description that was you saying it's going too long take that was your you just got edited for stop the St story you I knew that you wouldn't have thought about it much but it's funny CU this feels more like red link now than the whole beginning tell you what happened this morning like we're mad at each other that's number one thing and this morning when I woke up I was dreaming that I was a tambourine player yeah this feels like good mythical morning now this you have an the way you're talking the only white person in the band and they were all waiting for me to SC wow okay interesting easy to do with a tambourine this is they were like say tambourine they were like the white dude is GNA he's GNA get off I know it's going to happen the next thing I do is it it's never the same but this morning it was shower eat then I realized I hadn't brush my teeth sometimes I brush my teeth before I eat sometimes I brush my teeth after I so every day you have to analyze whether you missed something and then I and then I came out here to the studio and you showed up I pity you man I pity you man you know what we're going except for the dream I think we learned something here in neither of their routines do they ever actually go to the bathroom right right no no so they do that in the afternoon yeah so you just hold it you're you actually listening to that yeah yeah yeah I'm trying to learn something I just waiting for it to stop how long do these episodes end up being in the beginning I think we try to aim for 10 minutes okay which is funny cuz I ended up being such a pivotal like time because if it was over 10 minutes and you could have more than one ad in the video and everyone was making their videos uh a few years later 10 minutes and 10 minutes one second just to push it over so they could have mid ads and I think originally we tried to keep I don't know what the runtime on this is but I think we tried to keep it under 10 for some psychological reason like if it says nine something people won't be so scared of yeah it was actually scar to upload something that looked too long right cuz we're like oh they might not click it if it looks too long yeah cuz people are still so used to like 3 minutes the 3 minute Mark was like the ideal yeah because I want to see you just in drawing form playing a tambourine with an afro okay never in real life we have something special for you Link's going to break it out gosh it's a wheel with your rtin but we have something new something that is going to be a part of every good morning Good Mythical morning whatever it's called yeah you don't even know what the show's called at this point that is the wheel of mythicality do you still have a wheel of mythicality how we're going to end a given episode we've got 24 spots up here we filled them in and we want you to begin filling them in with how you want us to end the show I don't know what it is about this wheel but when I touch it I want to do this you want to Bob your head yeah I'll play the tambourine that I played in my dream shall I spin this wheel oh it's going to land on something we don't know what it is like how some say TBD cuz you just couldn't couldn't fill out the wheel yet and you said they could suggest things rep impersonate link oh here we go so they can TW tweet us or Facebook Us in order to suggest things to replace this and add new things to the wheel when I wake up in the morning I have to make sure that the um the water is at an optimal optimal temperature to brush my teeth sometimes I just take a head shower sometimes I just put my foot in underneath the current of water which is approximately 82° Fahrenheit tell the people goodbye and we'll see them tomorrow and while I'm doing this you're like stop you're trying to edit him now the fact that you watch this show Good Mythical warning and we would really like you to continue watching why your eyes crossed and I will be washing my knee at 3:00 today see you tomorrow wow subscribe button nice the every Monday through Friday on R link 2 wow R link 2 oh yeah was before you even renamed the channel I think I shed a sympathetic tear for those guys yeah why you why are you shedding tears cuz they were so hopeful and it somehow it worked yeah yeah this must feel like it must feel I'm trying to think of the word like put it in the description I forgot the word put in the Des like not not not justified but um validated validating there go it must feel validating you you kind of have like a mission statement and you're like this is what we're going to do and you can expect that and then you did it and this was over 10 years ago and you're still doing it 25 2600 episodes I think that you know the the reality is it wasn't as big of a risk or commitment as it seemed like you can talk as big as you want and you kind of got you it's marketing and then if if it if it tanked no one would remember it anyway you're right you're right so you just established what you wanted it to be yeah you set those goals you put it out there you set the expectation for yourself and for the audience and you just kept going and build it up and forget about it if it fails did it feel like it took a while to catch on like yeah okay so so you guys for yeah first two years were pretty slow but we were beginning to get a little bit of traction but it wasn't we had no idea that it was going to become the main thing and it and that was never even really the idea right shortly after that January 2013 we hired Stevie we hired Stevie to make the mythical show which was basically like let's take this stuff that we've learned from Good Mythical Morning of us kind of sitting at a desk and talking and let's do a variety show that is sort of centered around us at the desk but then has music music videos and sketches and all the stuff that we can do right and that was funded by YouTube it was 30 minutes it was 12 episodes every week weekly episode that was a little bit ahead of its time in terms of conceptually not necessarily comedically but people were like I don't want to sit down and watch something for 30 minutes but we had hired Stevie who had then kind of built out a small team and at the time when we were making what we call the mythical show we were like this is what we're moving into this is what we really want to do we like to be the talk show thing but what we we love is the creativity and these other bigger ideas can we bring them all together into one thing but because it didn't catch on as we were kind of getting to that final episode the intention was not to go back and make more good mythical morning that was never the intention the intention was that like all right good mythical morning was a good thing that really worked for a couple years but now we've got this team maybe we should make more good mythical morning because we can make this even more efficiently now and we've got this set that we you know we've got the desk that we had made I think we all reluctant I know I was reluctantly like let's go back to making more good mythical morning and everything else we want to do yeah but at the time had no idea that oh no that decision to go back to making a mythical morning and then it becoming this thing that just began you know that 2014 was around the corner when the algorithm would really start rewarding it it ended up being this really strategic decision that then built mythical entertainment and in a way that allows us to do everything else we do yeah yeah were there times when you doubted it and you're like we should not have committed to 5 days a week at 6:00 a.m. I think only early on when it was like oh God we just need to we were just trying to find sucks let's go to lunch we'll try again we were like once we could find a way to make it efficient and make it not such a you know not something that we have to think about every single day and we started doing more like let's sh more than one in a day you know was there a time when you wouldn't want people to know that you bat shot because I feel like people on the internet in those days like 10 years ago were like but it's every day you shot it every day I don't know like there's some resistance to that we were for a long time yeah for a long time yeah I mean even now there's sort of this thing in the back of your head that's just like you know I'll if somebody ask I'll say it but like I because they want to believe that you do it every single day and that this was you like you made it today didn't you yeah you guys get up at midnight that is your entire life right yeah that's what you want to believe yes that's what we do yeah but that's so hard and not sustainable like you would have burnt out forever a long time AG right yeah I mean we did shoot this the day that it uploaded right of course Very Fresh because we care cuz we know it's what you want and we'll give you anything you so it is 3:00 a.m. right now thank you so much for getting up yeah yeah yeah I know you did the morning routine before you got here so yeah it was um we haven't my water is just now a shave day or a this is a head shower day okay head shower day yeah I think it's time we go to um one of our one of our most important segments one of our new segments here one of our new segments uh and we like to call it are you happy are you happy are you happy are you happy is that a question or it's something about happy are you happy it's a question and the name of the segment which is I like good marketing I like that yeah thanks you know we took it from from some guys that were like oh there going to be a mythical morning are you happy are you happy are you happy um I'm I I'm as happy as I've ever been get out of here I'm so sounds sarcastic no I am so happy and I I the happiest I've ever been I mean how could I not be come on I am in the same place and I think that uh honestly sorry I'm happy a big part of it is good mythical morning is this thing that we figured out how to do and how to keep it in a certain amount of time right and to have the most fun in that time yeah and very recently we released a video that kind of explained the fact that we are now instead of trying to write pilots and movies and do all the traditional stuff that we've kind of been doing on the side for a number of years we're kind of taking all of those creative ideas and ambition and putting it directly back into YouTube on the OG Channel with a show that's coming out in the fall yeah so we've got a show so we're working on that that we're filming now that will come out 6 weeks early August got it so you see any details yet no nothing I mean the best indicator of what we're going to do is taking what we did on the red link Channel last year and kind of where we're doing a bunch of different things and kind of in some ways uh it's not anything like the mythical show in which we in which we it was a variety show but it is the spirit of it and that if there something that we feel like we're good at doing in the content space it is on the table to be a part of this show um so there's a lot that's going into it and I think because we're making something and we're working together creating things we're working with our team that's great and we know that it's going to translate into something that we can show to our audience I mean I'm just having a really really good time with that why do you think this is the right time for that because you had walked away from your main channel for a long time it just took a long time for us to become convinced that like trying to develop things that no one ever saw that was what was happening like once we realized that like I mean there was there was all of that effort then there was the pandemic and then on the other side of it it's like oh what are we going to do we just kind of got fed up with working on things that no one ever saw MH and I think at the same time I mean for me a big thing that's been happening over the past couple years is just sort of a reorientation of the way I think about creativity MH you know Rick rubin's book A Creative the creative act the way of being was really big for me last year in terms of just and you guys I'm sure can relate to this because we both have tried a lot of things right for a lot of different people and we've been told by a lot of different people that we should try this or we should try that or people will buy this or buy that and so you do a lot of creative things with other people in mind or even with an audience in mind versus starting from a personal place of like what is the thing that we can create that only we can create that isn't better in some competitive sense to some standard that's out there but it's just legitimately like you know I think of it like a fingerprint like only you can make your fingerprint only the two of us can put our two fingers together and make a unique fingerprint and is it better or worse than somebody else's fingerprint actually I Chang we don't have a thing to do that on once I started to do it it started to feel weird but the idea that like we can figure out what is it that we can do and like actually bring that into the world like that's something that is I I just been my mentality has been changing kind of drastically over the past couple years and then to be like oh we're immediately turning around and making that thing right now and then people are going to get to see it a lot of joy in that yeah so we're feeling really good about it it's going to be wonderful so it's more creative self-expression rather than the marketing and thinking about how it will be received and more so coming from a place of like I want to create this art and also like having having complete control over it and having the distribution for it and not having to worry about like appeasing some Rando in Hollywood or somebody somebody else's interests yeah yeah so it's like yeah it's like no we're going to put it out in August and it's going on our Channel that's awesome also you have the funding from your other successful shows now to back it up yeah it's yeah because we're not going to as currently forast said we are going to lose money by by just making a you know a half hour comedy show that just goes up on YouTube we are investing so it's an investment sure you know but we're able to do that because of you know Good Mythical warning working so well yeah yeah no I think that's big and have you talked about what you are manifesting this to become like do you have big big plans in your head kind of like you did for for good mythical morning or are you at this point just kind of seeing where it goes um we know what all the episodes are now so I can say it's going to be it's going to be an Unexpected Journey every episode for anybody who wants to come on that ride hell yeah we'll be on that ride I think it's it's interesting uh you know uh I don't really consider myself a person of Faith anymore and that in that sense but I think that making the show is a faith-based decision right it's like having faith in the idea that if you just make the thing that you want to make like that's always a good decision as a creative person just make the thing that you want to exist in the world right see and just see what happens we don't know what's going to happen we don't know how people are going to respond to it but the joy that we're getting going to be the best thing we've ever made well I wasn't done with my point and I was making a great Point yeah the joy if it sucks you won't remember it the joy in it is happening right now yes the joy isn't in the response in August the joy is it's happening right now we're getting what we want out of it right now hey that's all you know yeah I mean if you set your barometer for Success uh on how much did I enjoy making this thing then you already succeeding yeah that's right and that's why we're so damn happy that's right so that to answer that question sounds like yes yeah you are happy you believe us now I I I believe now I believe now yeah now canot be that I believe I was like there's no way he could actually be that happy sadly we we haven't had anyone yet say that they weren't happy so that's why we're so cynical MH right we're trying to find that one person that admits it I hope somebody does there there'll be one we'll do a quick therapy set but but we believe you guys I believe you we believe you are you also working on a book we have worked on it and by worked on it we are presenting the book it's the mythical cookbook so the mythical kitchen team they're the ones who did all the work on this so yeah so this is something that's a long time coming the kitchen team has created all these incredible recipes for the show and they have their own channel the mythical kitchen channel of course the fans have been asking for so long for this and we wanted to wait until we it was the right moment and we uh we did and they put together the mythal mythical cookbook which has all the stuff that we've enjoyed on the show that the fans have wanted to try plus a bunch of new original recipes and then it's also got a lot of really funny actual words in there besides just how to make things because it's you know it's a it's a mythical a mythical thing so it's a creative exercise and Josh is a great writer yes the mythical Chef Josh and the mythical kitchen team you know put this thing together and what's your what's your favorite thing on the have you tried some of the recipes I've tried a bunch of things cuz Josh is kind of a mad man like he's always posting weird ass stuff on on Instagram there's an In-N-Out mac and cheese I think that's what it is yeah so good it's basically like an animal style mac and cheese it's just as good as it sounds they invented like the tastiest cheese steak I've ever had yeah this like some take on a cheese steak it's very interesting I can't I can't even remember was like this is awesome mythical cookbook boom yeah you can grab yours and we didn't even get into how you have so many other channels too so many other parts of stuff you're not on the show you're not in every episode but you like it's it's crazy to to think that starting from here like this kind of birthed so many things including the the cooking Chanel yeah Mythic kitchen and all these other Ventures it's crazy wild well before we go we do have a little gift for you guys something that we feel want your legs we won't give those you can't have well these are our real legs so yeah so we can't give you those we can't give you those but there is something behind that couch that you can grab and it's not a brand new car it's not a brand new something that we feel like wrapped up for you we've observed you both over the years and we feel like this is something that we can that can really benefit wrapping job thank you I I did it myself when you run out of wrapping tape use purple tape and when you run out of that use black tap yeah purple electrical tape okay so so you might need a little assembly here yeah oh my gosh but uh this is a rock sck but it is yeah yeah go goed so that one this is how we can work through our problems this is how we figured this is more healthy for you guys to work through your problems yeah uh what problems disagreements can you recognize the um similarities the similarities here can you got the jaw got the jaw here's the thing we uh I think you might have remember Edward cull back on ear biscuits when we you know we would have guests on the show we had you guys on the show anytime we had a Duo on the show we would ask them what they do to work through their problems and I remember the cordor corridor digital guys were talking about how they had like a card that you could play every single day where it was just like if you have a disagreement you can play the card and then it's over and we never had anything like that we've never had we just kind of just talk until somebody wins right so there's a winner there's always a winner and a loser in the discussion this will be more efficient there's always a compromise so this will be more efficient if you guys have ever have that I don't know how to might have to set it on a table May yeah cuz it's aren't you guys Engineers aren't you supposed to like it has to be on a flat surface cuz it's made to pop off you know what I'm saying yeah oh oh yeah maybe get that box oh we got an Apple box oh I get it so now I get it this is you all right this is me y so what's something that you commonly disagree about what's something what's uh oh no you expect me to play with a toy and talk aren't you guys didn't you guys like go to college for engineering shouldn't you but not engineering toys I mean first of all let me just see that this is even possible see I made mine work oh there we go that's how you do it and then wait guys here we go oh great now the top rope is down I got mine out I got M oh no we're going to

fanfiction uh fuel here so yeah I don't know is his arm not pumping oh I only need my left arm is the the pumper my right arm's the pointer my left arm some about this not work in working I think something about the attachment of the other head yeah let's just maybe let's just let's just Embrace maybe just Embrace yeah see okay you know what you guys don't need to fight a collaboration tool
