If you've spent any amount of time on YouTube, chances are you have heard of Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, hosts of the daily talk show "Good Mythical Morning." Their channel is wildly popular, having recently exceeded 10.5 million subscribers. Every morning, Rhett and Link deliver original, entertaining videos in what is arguably the best clean comedy on YouTube. Their material ranges from bizarre taste tests to comedy skits, fictional game shows, to impromptu jam sessions. And of course, no episode of GMM would be complete without a spin from the Wheel of Mythicality. I would definitely recommend checking out their channel if you haven't done so already.
Now, Rhett and Link pretty much define what we millennials call friendship goals. The duo met way back in first grade, and they have been unbelievably close ever since. They dated the same girls in middle school, attended the same university and shared many similar experiences afterwards. Thirty-two years later and their bond is still as unbreakable as ever.
Here are 15 reasons why we all should be jealous of Rhett and Link's friendship.
1. They are completely honest with each other.
There are very few secrets between those two.
2. They are unapologetically eccentric.
Who cares what their 10 million subscribers think?
3. They lend each other support during times of crisis.
Because everyone needs a hand to hold every now and then.
4. Each knows exactly how to embarrass the other.
Like every good friend should.
5. They can count on each other for top-notch fashion advice.
And this is precisely why they are the most stylish duo on the internet.
6. Nobody can top their sick dance moves.
Music is optional.
7. They just understand each other.
...even if no one else does.
8. They both clean up nicely.
But they look good in their GMM t-shirts as well (available here).
9. They have no qualms about sharing personal belongings.
Food, lip balm, sleeping bags -- you name it, they've shared it.
10. No topic of conversation is off limits for them.
Everything is open for discussion, no matter how awkward or embarrassing it is.
11. They keep up with all the popular expressions.
Or they try to, anyway.
12. Their conversations are regularly cut short by laughing fits.
In the immortal words of Link Neal, "Laughing is like farting out of your mouth."
13. They each take the other's teasing like a boss.
Even while violently dry heaving into buckets.
14. They can basically read each other's minds.
Mind reading is, after all, the mark of a true friendship.
15. Thirty years later and their friendship is still going strong.
