00:00:55.360 of year to refresh especially when it comes to your closet. That's why I'm so excited to introduce

00:02:06.660 want any coverage at all I just want my skin to look like my skin girl just a little more even

00:02:12.380 that's when I've been reaching for the merit minimalist stick it's a foundation and concealer

00:02:17.660 stick in one so it's super easy to throw on when I'm running errands grabbing coffee or meeting up

00:02:22.920 with friends it gives me that really natural skin like finish without feeling heavy but when I'm

00:02:28.440 filming going to an event or I just want a full glam moment I need a concealer that's actually

00:02:33.200 going to show up. So the Hourglass Vanish Concealer is one I always reach for because it

00:02:38.620 gives me that full coverage airbrushed finish. I also know I'm not the only person who struggled

00:02:43.440 to find the right concealer shade. It can be so frustrating trying to guess what will actually

00:03:15.500 How are you guys doing today?

00:03:16.520 That is code for old.

00:03:20.300 Not even.

00:03:21.280 Honestly, I'm a little shaken up.

00:03:22.900 I awoke in a cold sweat at like 4 a.m. from a nightmare.

00:03:30.980 Oh, no way.

00:03:32.380 What'd you have?

00:03:33.560 Are you willing to share about my nightmare?

00:03:35.200 This is not something that normally happens to you.

00:03:36.740 It doesn't.

00:03:38.180 But I was in high school.

00:03:40.420 I was on the high school basketball team.

00:03:42.000 In my dream and in real life.

00:03:43.580 Is this just an excuse to talk about your glory days?

00:03:47.640 He's about 70 feet tall, so I'd hope.

00:03:49.100 Are you about to bring up my high school record for three-pointers,

00:03:51.040 which was 77 in one season?

00:03:52.380 because i wasn't gonna bring that up okay yeah that was my record yeah 77 points we just started

00:03:58.060 so i was getting ready for a game and for some reason the opposing coach for the other high

00:04:04.080 school team was steve nash googling right and he was looking at me with his arms crossed like

00:04:10.820 watching me warm up yeah what kind of high school did you go to that steve nash is coaching uh well

00:04:15.100 this is the opposing team oh gotcha and so and he was looking at me you know how sometimes they'll

00:04:19.360 separate the courts with like a net like if we want to play like two different games oh yeah

00:04:24.160 steve nash is looking through this net at me and so i'm a little bit nervous and then i look down

00:04:28.940 and realize that for some reason i'm just wearing old low-top vans at the big game and i'm like

00:04:36.600 these are too slick i gotta get some shoes my dad takes me across the street to the walmart which

00:04:42.320 we didn't have a walmart across the street we had a tobacco field across the street in our high

00:04:46.260 school naturally he gives me these big black high tops that are nikes and there's a green swoosh

00:04:53.460 link knows that that's not the colors of our high school so i'm like now i gotta play with these

00:04:58.620 green and black shoes but then when i get back to the game they're sliding all over my feet because

00:05:03.720 for some reason my dad got like size 18 shoes and then that's when i woke up in a cold sweat and

00:05:07.940 i've been uneasy since that that's that's your worst nightmare being suited up poorly for the

00:05:13.340 game when steve nash is watching he has really worked up to be here right right right yeah i

00:05:18.940 think that's what this is about yeah just i'm steve nash yeah you are and i'm watching you in

00:05:24.720 the two big shoes i almost bring in the net i almost wore my low top vans i mean i'm glad you

00:05:31.660 didn't have to perform in the low top vans you probably probably would have done worse yeah who

00:05:35.280 knows if that dream had to continue but you did play basketball in high school i love to hear that

00:05:38.400 i'm glad that height's being put to use uh yeah not anymore yeah not anymore not well it's just

00:05:43.260 creating physical problems at this point now your body's giving in on you you're both really tall

00:05:48.700 yeah yeah that's the thing about link thank you for saying that you're welcome link you are tall

00:05:52.660 i'll give it to you yeah do people are people shocked when they see you in real life and see

00:05:56.640 how tall you guys are or do they kind of guess yes um when they see us they usually turn to me

00:06:02.640 and say you're taller than i thought you would be right yeah it's not yeah and they're too afraid

00:06:08.120 to talk they knew that i was tall they just thought that link was like five four really

00:06:13.100 they think i'm five four too you know the funny thing is i've ever thought about

00:06:16.780 people thinking that you're short right it creates like the you know how you know this

00:06:23.480 like the version of you that exists on the internet yes yes not who you are no it is yeah

00:06:29.580 you're super authentic and people know who you are and like you're not but it's not the whole

00:06:33.760 thing but because it's like we are you know entertaining yeah like dramatized versions of

00:06:40.160 ourselves yeah they might perceive you and be like okay well i don't know how tall she is but

00:06:44.700 i'll just say she's five six or whatever and they might say you're five six right as well yeah and

00:06:50.960 so the fake version of you that people have identified with is a short man that's an

00:06:56.100 interesting maybe that means maybe that means you're safe i actually know i don't think about

00:07:00.740 it at all, ever. Believe it or not, that never crosses my mind, ever. I do find it concerning

00:07:06.760 that they think I'm small, only because I've said quite frequently and often how tall I

00:07:11.200 am. But I don't get, wow, you're taller than I thought. I get, you're huge. That's what

00:07:14.820 I get. I get that immediately. They're like, oh, you're huge, which I was like, all the

00:07:19.880 adjectives you could use, you used that one. No worries. Thanks for that. Not a big deal

00:07:23.020 to me. For the record, I'm sorry, what is it? 5'10"? How tall I am? I'm six feet, if

00:07:29.560 you can believe we are the same we are this are we yeah i feel like you're taller than me

00:07:33.680 i just got a little bit more hair my hair is going in a different direction a little more volume on

00:07:37.780 you yeah than me i gotta tease my hair up so i can be the same height as you i'm still shorter

00:07:42.240 than you that actually feels good or we're like the same i mean honestly i i feel like people

00:07:47.860 think i'm small probably because i'm like mean online to men so i think they just kind of assume

00:07:53.480 i come in a tiny package but i did i once like when i was standing like eye level with the rock

00:07:58.820 i like tweeted that picture i was like just in case anyone doesn't believe me like i'm he looks

00:08:04.600 normal size standing next to me most of the time he makes everyone look this big right so i was

00:08:09.580 like if this is enough proof i feel like me being eye level with him is enough but even then they

00:08:14.780 were like well you're probably wearing high heels and right i wasn't but it's okay and the thing is

00:08:20.820 is that i would say 90 of the time when people say that and it is most of the time that when they

00:08:25.680 run into us you can see immediately the regret that that's the first thing that they said

00:08:29.440 but here's the thing that's true when i run into a man who is as tall as me right i'm like you are

00:08:37.200 a freak you're weird and i turn to my wife who's like five three and i'm like is that what i look

00:08:45.020 like oh my god that guy is so big it seems like he's from a different planet right and she's like

00:08:52.580 you carry it differently and that's a good supportive spouse yeah we love a supportive

00:08:57.900 well i'm so happy to have you guys on you guys are legends honestly and i mean that not in age

00:09:06.120 i mean that in impact okay an empire that you guys have grown um i would love to know just for

00:09:12.040 the maybe two people that have never heard of you and they're like brand new to the world maybe they

00:09:16.380 opened their eyes yesterday um can you guys tell me about the inception of good mythical morning

00:09:20.340 and just like the whole, how you guys started just generally online and how you guys started

00:09:24.800 making content. And I do have to say really quickly during BLM, I was so inspired by a video

00:09:32.540 that you made where you wrote a letter saying like talking to a white man. I was so inspired by that.

00:09:38.120 I actually made my own video because I watched yours and I thought, wow, that is so poignant

00:09:42.580 and so impactful that a white man is making a video like this. I think I should make a video

00:09:46.380 too. And that was like one of my first reels I ever put on Instagram, but it wasn't, I didn't

00:09:50.100 have a following i didn't have anything i was just very passionate about it so i like did this

00:09:53.500 whole entire video on the history of the police department in the u.s and how it was made from

00:09:58.180 slave patrols and everything i did a whole entire video on it because i was inspired by your video

00:10:02.040 and i had to tell you that i forgot like i had forgotten that i'd made that years ago so i have

00:10:08.220 to say that i was like i didn't i didn't see any of your videos linked but i'm sure you made

00:10:11.040 amazing ones but i do remember ritz yeah since i didn't write this article i i will brag on a

00:10:16.920 little bit yeah please letter to a white man is still i mean if you google it it's still out there

00:10:21.340 on what substack or something what in no way it's a i think it's like a medium article a medium

00:10:26.360 article there's a video it's some some i just read it yeah he read the letter you know we i mean

00:10:31.400 i i was born and raised in north we'll go back and talk about good mythical morning in a second

00:10:35.880 but to talk about this this letter for a second yeah i was born and raised in uh rural north

00:10:41.260 carolina like he said the tobacco fields across the street from our high school yeah so when he

00:10:46.240 moved there in first grade i mean that's practically born and raised there as well so it felt like

00:10:52.820 an opportunity to speak from i'm speaking for you now but i was very proud to know and to speak from

00:11:00.420 our experience right growing up there and kind of having that point of view totally and having the

00:11:05.820 um the opportunity to to be heard by maybe a different group of people than who most everyone

00:11:12.860 was talking to right at that time totally um so yeah and it and it it's still out there yeah it

00:11:19.160 is it was it was so impactful to me at the time that i was like that was like one of the first

00:11:24.480 videos i ever made online was like before i started making tiktoks and like being silly online like i

00:11:29.380 was like i was very active posting about everything that was going on and i was like talking about a

00:11:34.200 lot of things that were going on it meant a lot to me to see people like yourselves with platforms

00:11:37.760 also talking about it but then when i saw your video i was like you know what that's so

00:11:41.580 it's it's such a wonderful way of packaging something that is so huge and oppressive and

00:11:47.040 awful into a way that people can digest it and understand it and even at best empathize with it

00:11:52.700 and be able to relate to it so I remember thinking like wow what a wonderful way to package such a

00:11:57.260 difficult messaging like to be able to translate it not just to obviously marginalized people who

00:12:02.880 are well aware but also to white people like I thought it was amazing I thought it was incredible

00:12:06.940 And I was like, I'm going to make one, too.

00:12:08.680 So you also had your impact on me.

00:12:10.580 You both did.

00:12:11.480 So I appreciate you guys.

00:12:12.580 Thank you.

00:12:12.600 Thank you for sharing that.

00:12:13.080 And also, I did not know you guys are from North Carolina.

00:12:15.840 Carrie's from North Carolina as well.

00:12:17.600 Carrie. 1.00

00:12:18.880 Carrie.

00:12:19.720 Tell them where you're from, Carrie.

00:12:20.420 Are you from Carrie, North Carolina?

00:12:21.880 I'm not.

00:12:22.440 I'm from Wilmington.

00:12:23.420 All right.

00:12:24.280 Beach girl.

00:12:25.140 One of the cool parts.

00:12:25.840 Yeah.

00:12:26.420 A beach girl.

00:12:27.560 Mm-hmm.

00:12:28.980 I know.

00:12:29.600 So I was like, every time I find out where someone's from, if I know someone who's from

00:12:33.140 there and they're in the room, I'm like, oh, my God, you guys know each other.

00:12:36.240 That's why they're states.

00:12:36.940 that's why we have a lot in common

00:12:39.360 but let's get back to

00:12:41.080 so we have over

00:12:42.800 3,500

00:12:44.240 episodes of Good Mythical Morning

00:12:47.040 now crazy

00:12:48.760 I don't know if we've gotten to 3,500

00:12:50.260 we're approaching

00:12:51.560 surpassing 3,500

00:12:54.340 we passed 3,000 last year

00:12:55.440 I mean we celebrated

00:12:58.940 the 20th anniversary of uploading

00:13:00.940 our first video to YouTube

00:13:02.600 a couple of months back

00:13:05.220 but Good Mythical Morning

00:13:06.760 started as a side project for us to put out daily content just to have a conversation with each

00:13:13.620 other that we would share with anyone who would watch in between videos that we would put out on

00:13:19.560 a monthly basis on our original Rhett and Link channel where we were making a lot of musical

00:13:25.760 comedy and sketches. Think Lonely Island, but with sponsors attached. We knew that we wanted to tap

00:13:33.880 into our long-standing relationship and the fact that we could we're always shooting the breeze

00:13:40.600 about something yeah if we monetize that that would be nice for real but it was very much it

00:13:46.620 was a side project yeah which is crazy it started very small yeah but it started with the idea that

00:13:53.320 okay we're trying to make things happen in hollywood and we've got a pilot and we're trying

00:13:59.980 you know our pilot presentation or whatever we're trying to enter the industry like once we moved

00:14:05.780 out here yeah and it was okay because we had had a television show on the ifc channel called

00:14:11.940 commercial kings right yeah that's why we moved out to la yeah we observed a lot of other people

00:14:16.420 not a lot of other people but some other people yeah would see youtube as a like training ground

00:14:22.180 stepping stone yeah they get the opportunity to go make a real television show yeah totally stop

00:14:27.580 doing the youtube thing and then inevitably when you give the control of your you know your media

00:14:34.200 yeah your idea existence over to somebody else who then decides they don't want it anymore

00:14:38.760 well where's your audience and so we're like no matter what happens with any of these projects

00:14:44.060 that we are aspiring to yeah let's not lose the connection with fans and that can be this daily

00:14:50.100 show which started like i said really small it was just the two of us yeah one unscripted we had a

00:14:55.900 timer we knew kind of what we wanted to talk about and we would just kind of keep it around

00:15:03.580 i think at the time closer to 10 or 12 minutes that's when you guys were steve jobs in the

00:15:07.720 garage yeah just you guys it was a garage converted garage in rath's backyard yeah but we we we knew

00:15:15.120 we didn't want to do any editing we wanted it to be as conversational and as like organic as real

00:15:22.240 to us as possible plus we didn't want to invest too much time and we didn't want to spend time

00:15:26.800 energy in trying to edit or make it into something and now look at you now look what you did you guys

00:15:31.980 didn't want to spend enough time now look at you too successful well i mean we benefited from

00:15:38.140 at certain points along the way yeah of the the algorithm rewarding content that kept people

00:15:47.660 watching yeah totally so it's you know we we were we were slowly developing a loyal audience of who

00:15:54.480 we call mythical beasts that's what they call themselves um yeah so when they would start

00:15:59.820 watching they would keep they would keep watching an entire episode yeah and then if another one be

00:16:03.740 recommended well it was it was there were so many of them it was easy to binge yeah and i mean not

00:16:09.280 to get too in the weeds but like when youtube when the algorithm switched from being about

00:16:14.420 views to being about watch time yeah and keeping people watching longer and longer yeah engaged it

00:16:21.740 rewarded the show and it and it really started to take off after a couple of years of us doing it

00:16:28.320 yeah and became the main thing we were doing there were so many lucky breaks along the way

00:16:32.060 and so many yeah changes that we were not responsible for like youtube making that

00:16:37.100 decision to reward watch time we just we were right place right time benefited from

00:16:41.680 yeah you know the algorithm i really think that something that's so admirable about the two of you

00:16:47.820 that i've thought about for years obviously because you guys been doing this for for years

00:16:51.120 is like you guys saw the value in youtube like it's i feel like so often especially with

00:16:56.760 now i mean the integration of of traditional hollywood and the internet is like so inevitable

00:17:02.300 at this point like they're kind of interchangeable in a lot of ways but like before that like the

00:17:06.700 internet like you said was one of those like well i guess i'll do this but then as soon as i

00:17:10.540 get what i really want in hollywood then i'm gonna ditch this but you guys saw a lot of value in

00:17:14.960 youtube way before other people did which is why i think you guys invested early in terms of like

00:17:20.480 commitment to it and i also love how you guys have stayed really engaged with your audience

00:17:25.300 over the years grown with them um which is like hard to do it's hard to like age with your audience

00:17:30.600 a lot of times especially if you have like something very specific you could age out of

00:17:34.300 but like the fact that you guys have been able to compound it has been incredible to me i think

00:17:39.180 that's amazing i think one of the things too is that with all the traditional traditional stuff

00:17:47.540 that we've done even the stuff that we were very happy with the way that it turned out like some

00:17:53.540 of the commercials that we made with commercial kings still are like some of the our favorite

00:17:57.620 content that we've ever created when you just kind of look at the whole show if you sit down

00:18:01.660 and watch an episode of that if you if you're somebody who watches good mythical morning you'll

00:18:05.600 be like it's them but it's it feels like there's some other influence or there's something else

00:18:12.320 informing the way that they're coming across that i don't like because there was some other voices

00:18:18.780 involved right this is tough right because you're there you kind of want other voices it's like

00:18:23.460 we're not like oh we know exactly what it is that we are doing and we don't need any help we need a

00:18:28.380 lot of help and we have a lot of help but i think that there's just something about you realize that

00:18:34.380 there's a place where we can make exactly what we want to make totally comfortable and we can

00:18:40.660 come across exactly how we want to right and we can decide how many episodes there are going to

00:18:45.120 be yeah that's so true we can decide when we're going to take a break yeah and that you don't

00:18:50.060 always have that control you don't realize how valuable that is truly that's so true you know

00:18:55.040 it's funny the number of people who are coming from a traditional background who reach out to

00:18:59.320 us now yeah you know people who have incredible careers yeah and they're like how do we how do

00:19:06.140 we create something like what you guys have created that was literally this is crazy i was

00:19:10.100 gonna ask you guys that i was literally gonna ask you guys if you guys have had people asking you

00:19:15.080 how to kind of pivot or be able to do both at the same time because i feel like a lot of people who

00:19:19.980 went up the traditional way now are kind of on the back foot where they have to like be engaging and

00:19:25.360 they have to be able to make content and they have to be able to like also show their personality

00:19:29.420 which i think has been squeezed out of a lot of celebrities in hollywood where it's like

00:19:33.320 i'm only going to sit there i'm only going to answer the questions that have been approved i'm

00:19:36.120 not going to show you anything else about me because i'm not supposed to do that it is now

00:19:40.320 it's a completely different mode right totally of working where it's where yes creators package

00:19:48.580 themselves in all different types of ways but um there's an intimacy yeah totally that i think

00:19:55.380 it's kind of the starting point yeah i was gonna ask when did you guys feel like mythical morning

00:19:59.700 was like really like okay i think this is becoming like a thing like a big thing that i'm gonna have

00:20:04.740 to pay a lot of attention to because obviously you expanded it and have an empire now which i think

00:20:09.780 is incredible and we just had josh on the other day which we love josh obviously you guys love

00:20:14.820 of josh too um so i'm so curious like what like when did you guys feel like it was really kind

00:20:19.580 of shifting and you're like i think this is going to be a lot bigger than i anticipated obviously

00:20:23.440 it started as like kind of a side gig i'd say uh it's funny to say 10 years ago but i would say

00:20:29.200 about 10 years ago 10 years ago and you guys are both 25 so that's that's right when we were teenagers

00:20:34.320 when people who would recognize us on the street would talk about good mythical morning more than

00:20:43.380 they would talk about some classic music video or sketch we're like oh that person's watching

00:20:50.080 good mythical morning and and now it's 95 of the people yeah they do not play about you guys

00:20:58.400 they might mention another thing that we do also like this or that yeah i think about about 10

00:21:03.980 years ago when well also when we started seeing that the view numbers we would put a bunch of

00:21:10.160 work into a music video like might it might take weeks to months to fully produce everything from

00:21:15.020 the music to the music video and the view count on an episode of good mythical morning was basically

00:21:21.980 getting very similar numbers after like a day or two we were like this something is shifting this

00:21:28.620 was not the plan but it feels like we should lean into it lightning in a bottle yeah that was like

00:21:34.140 2015 2016 wow that's so that's crazy to think about a 2015 that's crazy i was in college and

00:21:42.040 at the time yeah i remember distinctly your guys's explosion right one of the things that

00:21:48.220 comes to mind for me is when post malone came on the show yeah and then we became friends after that

00:21:57.480 yeah um the fact that everybody in the world was listening to a guy who wanted to come on our show

00:22:04.960 because he watched it all the time yeah it's crazy everyone's a fan of him and he's a fan of

00:22:10.380 ours and it it it really took a while to wrap our heads around that yeah that is crazy to think

00:22:16.820 about how i was gonna ask about that too because i know you guys you guys are so ingratiated in

00:22:20.600 like i feel like just the internet like you guys are such a pillar in the internet to me

00:22:25.580 I was going to say, what's the coolest experience you've had since Mythical Morning has really kind of taken legs and now you guys have grown this entire thing?

00:22:34.520 What's been the coolest thing you guys have done so far?

00:22:37.920 I think one of the coolest things we got to do was we went on The Tonight Show.

00:22:44.720 Sick.

00:22:45.200 And we performed the first song

00:22:50.000 that we ever wrote together,

00:22:52.060 which was this rap about Halloween.

00:22:56.000 This was 1991, probably.

00:22:58.260 When we wrote the song.

00:23:00.180 Naughty by Nature's OPP was really...

00:23:02.640 You're down with OPP, yeah, you know me.

00:23:05.300 Hell yeah, I'm very familiar.

00:23:07.180 It's the first song we ever wrote,

00:23:08.780 so we just...

00:23:09.960 You're down with Halloween, yeah, you know me.

00:23:12.440 But then to, like, share that story on The Tonight Show.

00:23:18.200 And to have The Roots playing the music.

00:23:20.980 And Questlove, I'm very good friends with Questlove.

00:23:23.340 He did my first book, so I'm a big Roots fan.

00:23:25.520 He is great.

00:23:25.920 I know, right?

00:23:26.240 He's incredible.

00:23:27.160 A genius like y'all.

00:23:28.960 Such a surreal moment to have, you know, we rehearsed with him backstage.

00:23:35.320 And then we come out, we're doing it.

00:23:37.340 It was a little embarrassing to make them listen to us.

00:23:40.100 Yeah, because it was a tongue-in-cheek.

00:23:40.720 Get down with Halloween.

00:23:41.580 yeah you know me you're all just forgive me while we do this but this is our first song

00:23:45.720 we were in seventh grade yeah when we came up with this just for perspective it was a very

00:23:50.220 different time we were children that was that was that was a pretty good one i would say another one

00:23:55.400 that was very surreal was last year the microphone our very our first microphone from our desk and

00:24:03.240 the blindfolds that we wear on the show when we're doing a blind taste test were put into the

00:24:08.380 missonian collection whoa and so me getting chills crazy and so they should be on display sometime 0.55

00:24:15.880 this year how fucking uh yeah they said that um we were later when we put them into the archive 0.83

00:24:22.220 they were like we rotate things out of the archive yeah onto the floor and we'll let you know it'll 0.97

00:24:26.780 be the next couple years or whatever but we we've gotten word that that's going to happen at some

00:24:29.840 point but so we take the microphone and the blindfolds and they're like let you walk into

00:24:36.240 the archives and like open

00:24:38.360 this

00:24:39.960 filing cabinet. Well, we gave it to

00:24:42.080 we mailed it to them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:44.220 And then they took us down there to see where

00:24:46.180 they had it stored before they would put it on display.

00:24:48.740 Oh, yeah, because we couldn't touch it.

00:24:49.760 We couldn't touch it. Once it's in the archives,

00:24:52.080 we can't even touch it. It's no longer

00:24:53.900 yours. Honey, is it no longer

00:24:56.320 ours? No, no, it's no longer ours.

00:24:58.380 It's not. It's theirs? Belongs to the Smithsonian.

00:25:00.100 We gave it to the Smithsonian. No, it's the people's.

00:25:01.680 We signed it over? Yes.

00:25:03.920 So, I mean, when you can't touch it anymore,

00:25:06.240 I think that's pretty much any of yours.

00:25:08.120 They open the door.

00:25:09.900 This is like in the entertainment section.

00:25:12.360 And on the shelf right, like eye level, is Indiana Jones' hat, the fedora from the movie.

00:25:19.080 Crazy.

00:25:19.740 And then beneath that is the puffy shirt from Seinfeld.

00:25:23.840 And then beneath that is our microphone and blindfold. 0.99

00:25:27.200 Damn, you're in great company. 0.98

00:25:28.300 And I think what they do is they like- 0.99

00:25:29.540 In the first, Kermit the Frog was sitting up there.

00:25:31.880 Oh, my God.

00:25:33.320 My sister would have cried.

00:25:34.040 He was kind of great.

00:25:35.300 Yeah, he had eaten something bad. 0.99

00:25:37.360 Holy shit. 0.99

00:25:37.920 The next was like all the original Muppets. 0.99

00:25:39.480 That's crazy.

00:25:40.020 And I think they're like, okay, we're going to kind of make this ceremonial.

00:25:43.100 Let's put them next to these famous things.

00:25:45.240 And then after they leave, let's put them in the back.

00:25:47.420 I think that's how it works, but it makes you feel really special.

00:25:50.300 Hell yeah.

00:25:51.020 If I'm next to Kermit, hell yeah.

00:25:52.720 And I hadn't touched anything, right?

00:25:54.240 But then on the way out, just mindlessly, there's this 10-speed bike that's hanging on the wall right next to the door.

00:26:00.800 I think it's the one that Greg Lamond.

00:26:03.200 No, it was Lance Armstrong.

00:26:04.240 Who's Greg Lamond?

00:26:05.060 another guy who didn't cheat.

00:26:08.340 Okay.

00:26:09.480 Actually, he probably did cheat.

00:26:11.140 I don't know. Maybe he didn't.

00:26:12.720 He's a cyclist? Yeah.

00:26:14.540 Oh, well, I knew another cyclist.

00:26:16.600 It was Greg Lamont's.

00:26:18.680 It was Lance Armstrong's bike

00:26:20.440 that they had taken off of the floor because, you know. 1.00

00:26:23.260 Shit. 1.00

00:26:23.980 So anyway, we're walking by 0.99

00:26:26.100 and I just see, oh, there's a bike on the wall,

00:26:27.820 and I just touch the tire.

00:26:28.880 It's like, honk, honk, honk.

00:26:30.800 Give it a good spin.

00:26:31.860 I honked the bike horn.

00:26:32.820 there was no bike

00:26:35.280 you said my bad

00:26:35.920 my bad

00:26:36.320 my bad

00:26:36.620 and the woman 0.99

00:26:38.040 no they do that 0.87

00:26:38.540 no touching

00:26:39.000 no touching

00:26:40.020 yeah 0.90

00:26:41.320 I felt a little stupid 0.69

00:26:42.780 oh my bad 0.72

00:26:43.580 they do have bike bars

00:26:44.080 in the Tour de France

00:26:44.860 me

00:26:45.220 I was the one

00:26:45.960 who touched something

00:26:46.700 out of the two of us

00:26:47.800 who would have been

00:26:48.240 the one that would

00:26:48.740 you're the toucher

00:26:49.980 typically

00:26:50.280 oh no no

00:26:50.600 you don't think I touched 0.99

00:26:51.360 I was touching shit though 0.99

00:26:52.680 I know how to touch 0.99

00:26:55.440 stuff where nobody's

00:26:56.300 gonna see

00:26:56.840 I like swung the bicycle

00:26:58.780 like I got

00:26:59.680 I thought

00:27:00.340 this is just somebody's bike

00:27:02.060 yeah

00:27:02.480 Yeah, they commuted to work and they hung it up.

00:27:07.000 But then, I mean, now we're at this point where,

00:27:09.940 well, I mean, we're so jaded.

00:27:11.680 You know, you can't do it.

00:27:13.460 I got a text from somebody who's like,

00:27:15.540 you were on Jeopardy.

00:27:16.600 I was like, no, I wasn't.

00:27:18.120 Trust me, you do not want to see me on Jeopardy.

00:27:20.080 No, I wasn't, no, I wasn't.

00:27:20.980 We were a question on Jeopardy.

00:27:25.100 So was I.

00:27:26.420 Look at us.

00:27:27.080 It isn't a contest, isn't it?

00:27:28.800 Yeah, it is.

00:27:29.860 I was trying to relate to you.

00:27:31.860 What about who wants to be a millionaire?

00:27:34.560 I was not on that one, no.

00:27:35.340 You've been a question on that?

00:27:36.320 I was not on that one, no.

00:27:37.480 We were not a question.

00:27:38.320 We were an incorrect answer.

00:27:40.800 We were an incorrect answer on who wants to be a millionaire.

00:27:43.900 That's not that big of a deal.

00:27:45.260 We were an incorrect answer, yeah.

00:27:46.860 You weren't even the answer.

00:27:47.820 Right.

00:27:48.820 Hey, y'all.

00:27:49.700 I want to talk to you guys about Outer Banks, the official podcast.

00:27:53.660 A companion podcast that celebrates the final season of Outer Banks.

00:27:59.680 It's hosted by Rhea Chiffo from the Chicks in the Office podcast, who's an original Outer Banks super fan.

00:28:08.360 She sits down with all of the actors who play the core Pogues on the show, including Chase Stokes, Madeline Klein, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Davis, and Carla Sia Grant for intimate interviews and behind the scenes stories from the whole series.

00:28:27.020 The podcast goes way beyond just the final season of the show.

00:28:31.700 The actors talk about first getting cast in their now iconic roles, inside jokes from filming, and they unpack some of the major storylines on the show.

00:28:42.760 One of my favorite things to do after I finish a movie or TV series is watch interviews of the actors talking about behind-the-scenes stories from set and how they brought the story to life.

00:28:53.560 so if you're like me this podcast is definitely for you it's such a good companion piece for the

00:29:01.660 entire series you can watch Outer Banks the official podcast only on Netflix or listen on

00:29:08.460 Apple Podcasts and Spotify that's Outer Banks the official podcast as we get closer to fall weather

00:29:15.660 one of my personal essentials that I have to have in my room is a huge cozy blanket on my bed at

00:29:22.060 all times. And this is my new favorite blanket from Lola Blankets for exactly that. It's soft,

00:29:30.060 comforting, and I love this little kind of like, I was calling it a snow leopard design.

00:29:41.800 in the studio air, but this is my room blanket. I love this blanket and it's super, super cute.

00:30:47.720 Yeah, is is another it's it's a big milestone. Oh, yeah, I was gonna ask about Netflix

00:30:53.460 Tell me about you know

00:30:55.200 because it's it's different when you're coming up on YouTube, you know totally and

00:31:00.260 When you introduce yourself, I don't know how you feel about it

00:31:02.880 But if you introduce yourself as well, what do you do? I'm a youtuber, right? You know, it's

00:31:07.460 uh if you say i'm a creator i'm a youtuber maybe there's a maybe there's a bit of a okay well

00:31:12.920 anybody can do that you're not really telling me too much at this point like my neighbor's a

00:31:18.100 youtuber yeah my other neighbors are you well everyone's an influencer now too everyone would

00:31:23.000 yeah everyone's a creator everyone yeah totally there's no there's no real like specificity to

00:31:27.560 it anymore you don't want to be like well i i because i don't like to talk about what i do

00:31:32.560 me either met you know yes they start asking questions i'm like well yeah it's like we've

00:31:36.960 been doing it for a long time and you know it's like i talk about the jeopardy thing a lot

00:31:41.820 i just always drop the jeopardy like it is we kind of make a tv show but we kind of make it

00:31:46.760 for the internet right not that we decided to put the show on netflix so we can simplify

00:31:51.980 conversations with strangers imagine though if you were like it just makes my job description

00:31:55.880 a lot easier i have a tv show it's on youtube and netflix and then it's in the conversation

00:32:00.740 You know, we would not be here if it wasn't for YouTube.

00:32:07.160 You talk about how we got here.

00:32:09.340 It's because no one gave us opportunities,

00:32:11.940 we created opportunities ourselves using YouTube

00:32:15.680 as the only place that would give us the ability

00:32:19.920 to connect with an audience.

00:32:22.280 Totally.

00:32:22.820 And the last thing we're going to do is abandon what we've built there.

00:32:28.220 No, totally.

00:32:28.700 So Netflix is an additional stream for us.

00:32:32.500 It's enabled, yeah, more reach.

00:32:34.340 Yeah, totally.

00:32:35.640 It's new people who haven't ever watched Good Mythical Morning.

00:32:38.000 Maybe they've seen a thumbnail on YouTube.

00:32:41.160 Maybe they don't go to, a lot of people just don't go to YouTube for their long form entertainment.

00:32:45.720 They're still using it for how-to videos are really niche things.

00:32:48.740 Yeah, totally.

00:32:49.460 They don't think about a TV show that you would watch on YouTube.

00:32:51.980 Right.

00:32:52.280 They go to a place like Netflix for that.

00:32:53.760 so our intention is that somebody who's never really given the show a chance will give it a

00:32:58.820 chance yeah find it for the first time absolutely net new audience yeah that's incredible i think

00:33:04.420 and i think that's wonderful too that you guys still revere the internet that way i feel the

00:33:08.760 same way too even even moving forward in my career or moving into other forms of media i've like said

00:33:14.840 many times i'm like i'm never going to turn my back on the internet because the internet gave me

00:33:18.460 everything i have today like and just like you guys same thing with me like i had to i had to

00:33:23.140 really make my own thing like I kind of had to no one was really looking for a girl to be mean

00:33:26.980 to men on the internet I just kind of did it right and it worked out thank god worked out

00:33:30.900 now I'm talking to two legends look at me worked out for me a legend talking to the legends right

00:33:36.420 I mean you could be a little meaner come on let us let us have it I tried they got me once they

00:33:43.200 gave me that blue check mark they said no more they said hey hey act right act right I'm looking

00:33:48.640 i'm looking at you now it was one of those but i think i would love to know when you guys decided

00:33:53.300 to start kind of expanding the good mythical morning like brand like when you guys started

00:33:58.560 trying to build up more more youtube channels because i that's something i really admire about

00:34:03.380 you guys too um that you guys are seeing value in other creators and wanting to like uplift other

00:34:08.840 people on the internet that have something amazing to contribute to the ether like obviously the

00:34:13.080 internet is so vast and expansive like we're just saying everybody's a youtuber everybody's an

00:34:17.060 influencer everybody's a vlogger everybody's something on the internet because it's so

00:34:20.860 accessible so like when did you guys decide to start kind of building out a little bit more and

00:34:25.200 like supporting other people's channels or seeing talent in other places where you're like hey i

00:34:29.300 think this person has something and i'd like to because i think that's that's like my goal

00:34:33.420 eventually too is to be able to like um bring up other people as well and in a way where i can kind

00:34:38.880 of like foster their vision and their like dream of creating something and putting it out into the

00:34:44.240 world so when did you guys kind of come to that decision at some point we looked at each other

00:34:50.460 and we were like we're already old for this even when we started like we started we were like 30

00:34:58.180 and i think we had this idea that eventually people were just going to be going to realize

00:35:07.220 they were just watching two middle-aged white guys and just be like there's a lot of those already

00:35:12.500 yeah maybe this is an valid thought to have yeah and what like what is what is our legacy what are

00:35:18.500 we going to do who else in the same way that you're talking about can we sort of have entered

00:35:24.920 this world yeah yeah uh and then it just happened really naturally with mythical kitchen as a prime

00:35:32.880 example right so you've got josh who we hired to help us make a dish that we really needed some

00:35:38.220 culinary expertise for because we were literally doing something we called boiled for safety

00:35:43.160 that's what our crew did just to make sure that we didn't die when we ate something

00:35:46.700 but there was no culinary intention to it so we bring josh in to do that and he makes us like a

00:35:51.940 really gourmet burger and then we realized we wanted to bring him back because we wanted to

00:35:56.900 lean more into that culinary stuff on the show and it took a while to get in touch with him like

00:36:02.420 he wasn't even returning our phone calls right for a while he was a busy man and then eventually

00:36:07.360 he did come on full time

00:36:10.160 and he didn't really want to be on

00:36:12.240 camera he just saw himself no way

00:36:14.300 really he was more of a writer and more

00:36:16.280 of like a food thought leader I

00:36:18.240 think but then you put him on

00:36:20.260 camera he would just turn

00:36:22.160 on and you realize how smart he is

00:36:24.140 yeah how entertaining is totally and

00:36:26.100 how much he knows about his craft

00:36:28.040 it's like savant level yeah

00:36:30.200 and cares too and

00:36:32.180 so we just

00:36:34.140 were like let's do some more of that

00:36:35.800 and then he developed his own audience and now he's essentially uh with that team over on the

00:36:42.240 mythical kitchen side which is you know in the same building with us and part of mythical

00:36:45.560 they they are really leading that effort and coming up with their strategy and what they

00:36:51.620 want to do and who they want to reach yeah and obviously with our support but they have the

00:36:56.340 vision for that and so it happened very naturally as an outgrowth from you know it started as a

00:37:01.420 weekend show on good mythical morning yeah it became mythical kitchen and then they developed

00:37:04.740 last meals yeah um so i would say it was to overuse the term organic it was very organic yeah and i

00:37:11.260 think that we're very glad that that happened and it's incredible to see the success they're having

00:37:15.120 we're not really in this like how do we do that again i think we were in the place like that

00:37:20.000 but you know it has to be a really special i appreciate that about you guys yeah it's not

00:37:25.280 like a productivity thing or like i'm gonna pump out a million channels it's like when you see

00:37:29.640 something that you really think is special i think that's wonderful that you guys have that

00:37:33.240 kind of discernment i think some creators uh creators who shall not be named on this podcast

00:37:39.860 uh i know for a fact people have plans to say i want to have the number one channel in this

00:37:45.760 category this category and this category and this category and it just to me it feels like

00:37:55.160 ambition for ambition's sake i agree and it just feels like i'm just doing this like it's the same

00:38:01.260 thing that happens when you have engagement for engagement's sake yes you end up making something

00:38:05.400 that has no soul and it may be reaching a lot of 10 year olds right yeah but it's just they don't

00:38:13.020 have souls yet yeah they're developing their soul yeah they're developing it and you're gonna snatch

00:38:17.820 it right out you're stealing it right from them yeah for real and think that this is what they

00:38:21.560 need their they just need their lives to be about transaction and productivity and making money and

00:38:27.300 making money yeah it's kind of like every time i go into my kid's bathroom the fan's on

00:38:31.940 i'm like you realize how hot it is outside i'm trying so hard to keep it cool in here 0.98

00:38:39.300 and you're just sucking it all out through this goddamn fan this magic pipe now that 0.95

00:38:46.760 it needs to be on at certain points certain points yeah i got i got two boys who share 0.99

00:38:52.400 bathroom it needs to be on yeah at certain points all the time but then well maybe they're right

00:38:57.620 maybe they're on to something i'll correct myself i mean they go to work and go to school and then

00:39:02.620 i'm like don't leave the fan on all day yeah that's such an old man thing to do too something

00:39:07.460 your dad does when he goes to the bathroom man thing to notice it and point it out i can hear

00:39:11.820 it and complain about it i pull up in the driveway i can hear that that's that that's

00:39:17.900 That's how souls are being sucked out of 10-year-olds.

00:39:21.640 This episode is brought to you by Vinted.

00:39:24.440 If you're like me, it feels like you have an infinite amount of clothes in the back of your closet

00:39:29.440 that you tell yourself you're going to wear but never actually do.

00:39:32.600 And when you get new clothes, you have absolutely no room for them.

00:39:36.340 If only there was an easy way to clear out your closet, give your clothes a second life,

00:39:41.080 and make a little extra money while doing it.

00:40:24.280 app for free to start listing with no seller fees and free shipping in the u.s for a limited time

00:40:30.280 i do think there was a point as we began to experience some traction where we were almost

00:40:36.000 tempted we were tempted to be like what can this be and like what does it look like to like take

00:40:41.720 on investment and what does it look like to like blow this thing out as big as it possibly can be

00:40:46.600 but then you start thinking like but what why yeah why is it we well we never what does your

00:40:52.740 life become exactly right it becomes about it just becomes numbers numbers we never took on

00:40:59.600 investment but we for for many years we were we were configuring mythical you know in such a way

00:41:10.280 that we could if the right opportunity came along.

00:41:13.340 Totally.

00:41:13.800 Because we didn't know exactly what we were thinking about

00:41:18.180 and how we felt about it.

00:41:19.200 We were like, we can utilize an investment

00:41:23.700 and go after bigger and better things.

00:41:26.960 What it ended up looking like, though,

00:41:29.760 was a widening of what Mythical offered

00:41:34.520 there became an incentive to to platform other people yes there's a good side of that but then

00:41:42.220 there's also this let's broaden what mythical means beyond just the two of us so that we can

00:41:47.540 attract more of an investment yeah then you start having conversations about verticals yeah and you

00:41:53.280 and you become obligated i thought verticals was like your vertical leap you know that's where

00:41:58.280 that's i was in that world you know me and basketball you know me i'm a big basketball

00:42:02.280 head so although my vertical's not great basketball's always on the mind it's decreasing every

00:42:05.600 year but when they when they explain oh no you need to be thinking about different categories

00:42:10.640 of content that could be under this umbrella then you you sit so you we got excited about that for

00:42:18.500 a little bit yeah you sit back and you think what am i excited about that vertical like does that

00:42:23.800 anything to do with anything at all that i'm interested in right totally yeah okay maybe

00:42:29.940 your world. Or maybe you can find

00:42:31.920 someone else who is passionate about that

00:42:33.860 vertical and you can platform them. Again, that

00:42:35.920 that's a noble cause, but

00:42:37.960 it's a particular calling.

00:42:40.020 Yeah, I agree.

00:42:42.560 You're not asking for our

00:42:43.800 advice. I would love advice.

00:42:45.540 This is me asking for advice.

00:42:47.680 This is me. I'm picking your brains. 0.83

00:42:49.780 Because I do think you guys, what I

00:42:51.780 love about, obviously you guys have built this

00:42:53.660 empire, and I mean that very literally.

00:42:55.660 But I also think you guys are good people,

00:42:57.700 and that's something that I think is

00:42:59.400 hard to find like it's hard to see people who are building in a intentional and impactful way

00:43:04.920 as opposed to like you said compounding for the sake of numbers and money and i call that in the

00:43:09.540 creator world like in this like kind of internet weird in between world of internet and hollywood

00:43:14.220 i call that like being spiritually gluttonous like when you feel like i need to make anything

00:43:19.180 and everything that produces that makes money that gets me attention um there are thousands

00:43:24.400 of things i've said no to because i'm like for what why would i why would i ever need to do that

00:43:29.960 i don't need your identity when you become i agree everything you become nothing exactly so

00:43:34.500 i i think that we we've really i don't know if it's just that we're getting older

00:43:38.540 but we've changed our tune on that and we're still as ambitious as we've ever been

00:43:44.020 but it's about things that we are like naturally feel good about to and feel like is does this

00:43:51.020 thing need to exist first of all right does this thing need to exist more people should be asking

00:43:55.200 themselves that when they make content and are we the ones to be making it is there something about

00:43:59.440 us our experience and our expertise that actually necessitates us being the ones to make this right

00:44:04.180 if we can check those two boxes we'll do it yeah just doing it for the sake of it yeah that is

00:44:10.300 again it's a soulless place yeah that's that's how I've described it too I actually talked to

00:44:14.440 Josh a lot about that too when we when we were because I was explaining to him also on his

00:44:18.080 episode that I I love the way that he interviews and stuff I think he's really connective and I

00:44:23.040 think you guys are like that too and I think that's why you guys have been able to sustain

00:44:26.660 for so long because I really do I've made this joke multiple times on the show forgive me if

00:44:31.480 I'm repeating myself but I've said like in order to get to a certain level of success in this

00:44:36.220 industry I feel like you have to be a really genuinely good person which means it will take

00:44:42.920 you longer or you have to be pure evil and you'll get there fast and i was like like literally it

00:44:48.600 will squeeze out people who are not pure evil or pure good like it will squeeze them out and i was

00:44:54.980 like because that's the only way you survive you have to like get there the right way or get there

00:44:58.800 the evil way um there's only two ways up so i was like and then but the good way just takes you

00:45:03.640 longer and like even like i mean even with the world of tiktok like i i blew up in tiktok around

00:45:08.920 like 2021 ish um but i was old in tiktok years in tiktok years i was a thousand years old when i

00:45:15.320 started i'm 30 now but like at the time i was like 24 25 everybody was 16 so i i did feel the same way

00:45:21.700 and it was one of those where i was like okay i like this i don't like these things so i'm not

00:45:26.380 even gonna bother trying to do this stuff it doesn't bring me joy i don't think i'm the one

00:45:30.700 who should be doing it like i make a joke all the time that i can't sing but if i could i would have

00:45:34.860 put out like three eps by now if i could if i could have i would be wreaking havoc on the music

00:45:39.440 industry but i can't and i'm not even gonna try because i can't sing so it's like one of those

00:45:44.240 things where i don't need to do it just because i now have the platform and that's why i think you

00:45:49.600 guys are so wonderful in terms of how you've built um i talked to britney about it a lot actually

00:45:53.980 because i know you guys love britney like i love britney but i'm like i really do look up to you

00:45:58.540 guys in that regard because i one of my goals eventually is to is to be able to platform other

00:46:03.660 people and be able to make the art that they want to make and that I feel passionate about too but

00:46:07.960 maybe I'm not the best voice like you were saying maybe I'm not the person to make it but I can

00:46:11.480 help put you there so you can make it um and I would love advice I know you guys were in the

00:46:16.720 middle of trying to give me advice I would love advice um about how to build so intentionally

00:46:21.360 like how did you guys did you guys just like was there a lot of like kind of hits and misses or

00:46:26.660 was it kind of like you guys are just locked in together and you're able to make it happen like

00:46:30.260 how how did you guys kind of get to that point where you felt like okay i think this is the way

00:46:35.400 i want to build like was it just naturally i think i think we've always been um locked in

00:46:42.960 in terms of with each other in terms of vision where we're headed and what we're we get alignment

00:46:50.820 on what it is we're going after and i think it's it's always been important for us to have

00:46:56.340 things that we are going after yeah um and being on the same page about that so we've had the

00:47:05.260 advantage of the support structure of this you know this long-standing relationship we're like

00:47:11.760 an old married couple like you know we've got this you guys are work wives yes well yeah we'll

00:47:17.060 bicker and we know how to push each other's buttons and we know way too much behind everything

00:47:21.420 that everything he's saying today,

00:47:23.780 I know everything behind it.

00:47:25.160 Yeah, for real. 1.00

00:47:26.340 It's 40% bullshit. 1.00

00:47:27.920 Yeah. 1.00

00:47:28.900 40%?

00:47:29.440 Yeah.

00:47:30.000 That's better than it was.

00:47:30.820 I'm sorry.

00:47:31.680 I just got to break it to you.

00:47:33.860 Noted.

00:47:35.560 I think it's been really important

00:47:37.420 that we've had each other

00:47:39.560 and that we've stayed in as lockstep as possible

00:47:44.160 moving forward.

00:47:45.500 And yeah, you're right.

00:47:47.820 The target's always moving.

00:47:49.200 The thing that we're going after,

00:47:50.520 I mean, we are extremely passionate about Good Mythical Morning.

00:47:55.780 We're extremely excited about continuing to shape what that show is becoming.

00:48:02.500 Yeah, totally.

00:48:03.200 We think of it as something that is constantly evolving.

00:48:06.400 Yeah, it's like living, breathing.

00:48:07.460 You're talking about growing up with our audience.

00:48:10.880 That's a part of it.

00:48:12.320 When it comes to that, we work very hard to remain engaged creatively with the show.

00:48:19.420 because it is the engine from which we're able to drive

00:48:24.020 towards all the other things we're trying to do.

00:48:26.560 Yeah, absolutely.

00:48:26.940 All the other projects that we're hatching or working on

00:48:31.140 that we're not even able to talk about yet.

00:48:33.500 The fact that we have a backlog of all of those passion projects

00:48:38.000 that Good Mythical Morning enables,

00:48:40.200 it's a balance of working on Good Mythical Morning

00:48:42.520 in a way that rewards us and gives us enough time

00:48:46.180 to invest in the other things that we are passionate about

00:48:49.200 want to go after yeah now in the past talk about investing in other creators and kind of what

00:48:56.820 you're thinking yeah there's a cost to anything you invest in right there's a you know you can

00:49:03.040 only do so much and as you build a team sometimes you can see that you you have the capabilities to

00:49:09.040 do things and then you can wield the capabilities of a team to go after things with like with less

00:49:16.060 involvement from you yeah totally um but still when it comes to um like platforming other creators

00:49:25.280 and what they want to go after yeah it's you have to figure out how much you want to be involved

00:49:31.040 and how and then how much because you don't want to spread yourself too thin yeah it's it's that

00:49:37.280 simple i think for us you know we have literally invested in other creators yeah in the past and

00:49:44.580 And we still have an interest, and we're still supporting those creators that we've invested in.

00:49:50.020 We invested in Smosh at a time when they could have gone away, but we kind of kept them going. 0.98

00:49:57.620 And we didn't know we were biding our time to then be able to hand it back over to Ian and Anthony at the same time.

00:50:04.860 And they're absolutely flourishing without any involvement from us, which is, we're ecstatic about that.

00:50:11.280 But it's not something that we want to continue to do at this point in our careers because with our level of capacity, we are really focused on the things that we want to create.

00:50:25.800 And we've learned having invested in other creators and platforming other creators in different ways that like, okay, this is not the season for us for that now because we've experienced the amount of work that it does take.

00:50:41.140 That's such a good point.

00:50:42.280 If you want to do it right and you want to give people what they actually deserve and what they need, then it's going to take something from you.

00:50:49.880 Right.

00:50:50.300 And if you've already got a show that is.

00:51:11.140 John showed Investor's Edge to his neighbor, Colin.

00:51:13.720 Colin is nervous about the buzzing from the beehive in his shed,

00:51:16.780 but loves getting the latest market buzz to his phone every day.

00:51:22.900 And now his portfolio is looking sweet like honey.

00:51:26.780 Be in the know.

00:51:27.800 Invest confidently with CIBC Investor's Edge.

00:51:33.400 You know, in our case, coming out Monday through Friday, most of the year,

00:51:38.280 uh which in and of itself could be it should be maybe if you talk to our wives a full-time

00:51:43.460 but then you also want to do other stuff yeah totally uh that you're very passionate about

00:51:49.660 it just becomes this equation of okay we want to make sure that these things that we are doing

00:51:56.120 are good and that they're like they bring life yeah totally you know yeah and when you start

00:52:02.400 looking at something and it feels like oh this has become an obligation not something that brings joy

00:52:07.580 and brings right real life that feels like it's coming from a place and again this is all a very

00:52:13.000 like highly privileged position to be able to have a conversation to be like just follow your

00:52:18.040 passions right yeah because i think that that in a lot of ways can be a lot of people give that

00:52:22.420 advice to to young creators yeah people and it's just like i mean this is a tough world to follow

00:52:27.660 your passions right for real but to be in a situation where you're privileged and a lot of

00:52:33.100 things have worked out and we're okay financially uh we do have the privilege to say like what what

00:52:39.740 are we passionate about and to ask that question like what do we need to be doing right what do we

00:52:44.780 want to be doing no totally i think that's just evaluating that yeah like the balance of it like

00:52:50.540 how do you guys that was my next question so it's a perfect segue it's like how do you guys balance

00:52:54.780 like in terms of how do you reset because when i talk to creatives a lot on this show too like a

00:52:59.900 Lana Glazer, when I had her on, she was telling me when I got pregnant, I was like, this is my

00:53:03.700 time to take time off because I had just done Broad City. I had done all of these specials.

00:53:08.120 I was just really at the top of my game. But in order to be a creative, I have to go live life

00:53:13.000 and I have to go experience life. I can't just work all the time. So I took a year to have my

00:53:19.220 baby and be with my family and be present. And then I had all kinds of new jokes. I had all

00:53:24.360 kinds of new things to refill my cup. So I guess my question is, how do you guys refill?

00:53:29.200 like what do you what do you guys like to do i know you were telling me you just took a little

00:53:31.900 break so how do you guys refill because that's been probably one of my bigger issues is balance

00:53:36.560 um because i feel like very aligned with y'all in the way of like this is like i'm gonna move i'm

00:53:41.640 gonna move on this and there's something here and i i do have a very very intense work ethic

00:53:46.460 which i think you need in this industry especially in the topic of content creation like you really

00:53:52.220 do it is like a shark mentality like if i stop swimming i'll die but then like i'll die too if

00:53:57.580 i just keep swimming forever right so it is one of those like what what do you guys do to refill

00:54:01.960 like your cup how are you guys doing balance because i would love advice on that too i would

00:54:06.340 love advice on balance i think we've tried to have our cake and eat it too yeah in terms of um

00:54:13.360 banking episodes yes of good mythical morning like totally we'll take a longer break for the

00:54:20.080 summer and but then leading up to it our team has engineered the production schedule so that

00:54:27.440 we can just have more sitting in the can yeah we're good we have good mythical summer which

00:54:33.000 instead of doing five days a week we go down to monday wednesday friday and then on either

00:54:37.880 end of that we'll take i think a week or two break um from releasing the show yeah but it's

00:54:45.100 just we've cranked out a more than we normally would in order to afford the ability to take off

00:54:51.380 And then if I, you know, I try to be disciplined and not look at my phone when I'm off, but I know that the show is still coming out.

00:54:59.400 Yeah, totally.

00:55:00.260 And so we have that luxury with the way that the show is produced.

00:55:04.120 You guys have gotten to that point where you can kind of work around breaks.

00:55:07.660 But it was absolutely important.

00:55:09.480 I mean, whenever we decided that we wanted to take a longer break during the summer, we told the team it might have been a year ahead of actually doing it.

00:55:21.040 a year oh nice yeah you got to plan planners because our schedule is mostly determined a year

00:55:26.620 out yeah and so first of all that's important yeah because you want to minimize the number of

00:55:34.440 decisions that you are making like the days of when us coming in like we when we got started

00:55:39.940 we would come into the office it was just the two of us and if you didn't feel like working you might

00:55:44.900 be like let's just go see a movie man yeah you know what that was great that was great but those

00:55:50.940 days don't exist anymore no you know and so and i think that that's something and you're already

00:55:55.940 there people who are starting out think that like this is uh it's easy it's fun and it's a it's a

00:56:02.680 privilege yeah it's not easy i agree i'd say the same thing i was like this is not and you know

00:56:07.420 what i do i will say i'm grateful that i did started doing this when i was older because i 0.85

00:56:12.360 had normal jobs before this i went to college yeah i've worked every fucking job you can think 0.53

00:56:17.180 of i've had very i've lived paycheck to paycheck i've lived on my own i've like i was so glad i 0.68

00:56:22.680 was like nor a normal adult before i started doing this because then it does give you that

00:56:27.320 perspective of like it is extremely difficult but i could be doing shit i hate and i'm doing

00:56:33.500 something i love so it like really does give you a better thinking about it when you're not doing

00:56:36.800 it which that's exactly aligned your passion totally i think we'll sit down uh with jenna

00:56:43.480 who handles our schedule and we'll look at like she's got it all color coded like there's a

00:56:49.560 physical version that we look at then there's the digital version oh i love a type a woman on my team

00:56:54.060 and you can look at it and you like oh this is what we've signed up for yeah and it's like why

00:56:59.500 are we doing that because i i can look at that day on a calendar right and i can imagine what

00:57:07.140 that day is going to feel like and so you you begin to develop a real connection between what

00:57:13.300 you've signed yourself up for and what living through that life feels totally yeah just being

00:57:17.680 really in touch with that yeah and just beginning like we always every year we come back and we're

00:57:23.100 just like all right what can we change what can we not do what do we need to set aside time for

00:57:29.780 like again we've got a project that we just keep teasing with our fans like the thing that we

00:57:36.280 that we've worked on that we can't talk about yet that will be something that we talk about a lot in

00:57:40.760 the future yeah but the fact that we were able to do that given the amount of time that it took

00:57:46.160 and is continuing to take yeah and still not feel like we're going nuts yeah it's just it's just a

00:57:52.460 result of really aggressive scheduling where you look ahead and yeah hard decisions and a competent

00:57:58.940 team yeah like you need a really good team like and it's and a big team like i'm sure you guys

00:58:04.100 have a huge team sometimes when i've talked to people who are like newer to the world um i'm

00:58:09.100 always like who's on your team who do you have like you you need a team like i i think sometimes

00:58:13.300 especially younger people now when they get really big on like tiktok they're like well i don't want

00:58:17.600 a team because they take like commissions out of what you make and i was like okay well i'd rather

00:58:23.300 have 90 of something than 100 of nothing and like you do you do need a team like that yeah they need

00:58:29.320 to be paid and compensated for working with you but it does i think like over time it it you'll

00:58:34.480 be thankful that you have like a really good solid team so i'm going to take that do you guys

00:58:38.760 schedule in vacation i've just recently started doing that last couple years i've been like i

00:58:43.680 need time off like we're like literally i lay horizontal and nobody bothers me i don't look

00:58:49.160 at the internet i don't do anything it took us a while to get there yeah that's what i'm that's

00:58:53.180 why i'm asking but we've started uh taking an like an extended break during the summer where we are

00:58:58.780 technically off there's still things that you guys can't help it but be like plugged in a little

00:59:04.520 So we're like, this is a little bit of an emergency situation and we need your feedback or whatever.

00:59:08.640 Yeah.

00:59:09.620 But essentially taking some time off and forcing ourselves to just do the things that we're interested in and not think about content and not think about that.

00:59:20.060 Again, we talked about like the version of yourself that you have created.

00:59:25.120 And everybody's familiar with.

00:59:26.380 And it's like if you like sometimes you can begin to lose perspective and you begin to think that you are the person that they are.

00:59:34.380 true yeah that's so true and so then everything that you do seems like it could be content right

00:59:42.660 you know is that why i've gotten dumber yeah it's brain wrong i have it too i think that

00:59:48.040 you know i don't use twitter anymore really me there i deleted mine but there was a there was

00:59:52.580 a time in which you if you if i had a funny thought yeah i might think well this could be a

00:59:59.640 tweet that's true you know what i mean and that is a i mean some people are really good at managing

01:00:04.920 that but when you get to this point where your thoughts could be content yeah and you're like

01:00:10.980 i could have just thought a funny thing or said it to my wife or to link or whoever i was with

01:00:15.520 at the time and it was just it just lives in the moment and it is what it is yeah but then what

01:00:20.080 happens is oh my dog is doing something cute that could be an instagram story how about your dog just

01:00:27.640 does something cute and that in and of itself is an experience yeah totally right and i just think

01:00:33.560 that it's hard it's really hard to do but the fact that we're kind of both bad at social media

01:00:38.100 and the fact that we have a brand that lives outside of us that someone else is managing so

01:00:43.200 yeah i told jesse this when we were on vacation i was like the very ambitious uh person in me

01:00:49.260 gets antsy when i'm on vacation and i think i'm not doing enough and like we're gonna fall behind

01:00:55.180 and then i'm like yeah but like you posted like six social media posts today i did i didn't but

01:01:02.020 i am on the internet in many different ways yeah and somebody else did it yeah that's true i'm not

01:01:07.300 thinking about it that's very true i think that's like you you make you sever that connection with

01:01:13.140 that and you just be yourself and then you've got a great team that's making sure that you are

01:01:16.860 ever present in the way that you need to be in order to continue to be successful in this yeah

01:01:21.200 that's so true I feel like too with me like one of the many things I've said no to a thousand

01:01:25.820 times and that does not stop them from asking me is reality TV to follow me I think it's because 0.62

01:01:31.040 I'm perceived as a bitch online so they're like this would be awesome on TV so I'm always like

01:01:36.540 no like from the very beginning with no team at all I was like no I don't want to do that and 0.96

01:01:41.980 they were like why and I was like that's the last thing I have is like my home like you're 0.99

01:01:47.780 gonna come in my home i was like what if i just want to sit on the couch and scratch my ass 0.99

01:01:51.500 then you're gonna have to record yeah they're like wait wait wait right there let me mic you 0.99

01:01:55.600 i i was like the thought of that makes me feel suffocated where does that mic go by the way 0.89

01:02:00.240 oh yeah you're scratching for real that's what i'm saying on the hand or on the ass watch they'll

01:02:04.800 literally add foley in probably of me scratching something i was like i just don't think i need to 0.66

01:02:10.600 be seen that much it's like i think whatever it is i put out should be from me or i should know

01:02:16.220 about it I don't like the thought of someone recording me 24 7 I feel like it it does start

01:02:21.520 to make me feel like what you were describing which is like it makes me feel not like a real

01:02:25.060 human so when I'm like feeling overwhelmed by the internet I'll like have what I call normal human

01:02:30.400 people time which is like I just don't go online and I do things that I did before I did this

01:02:35.580 without having to think like oh I might have to what if I posted this or what if I took a picture

01:02:39.980 of this like that kind of disease I also had to in the beginning where I was very like I feel like

01:02:45.180 I need to constantly and it's because when I first started I posted one video a day every day for two

01:02:52.020 years straight so like I just did it I did it because I wanted to but I was also at the same

01:02:57.160 time I'm like well I have to be productive I have to stay like top of mind kind of deal and then

01:03:01.900 that started killing me and I was like okay I can't do I can't do this anymore and then I had

01:03:06.160 to like almost wean off of it like you were saying we're like okay I haven't posted for like four

01:03:10.300 days and is that bad like will they forget about me that kind of thing um i am working on it i'm

01:03:15.820 working on deprogramming from it and you're already doing this but i i think a lesson that

01:03:20.660 we learned if you go back and you look at our social media handles whether it's instagram or

01:03:25.060 tiktok or whatever and you go back four or five years there was this period where we were trying

01:03:31.020 to make content that was specifically for those platforms and we didn't know what we were doing

01:03:36.120 yeah we made a lot of cringy videos and then it just hit us one day we were like we put so much

01:03:43.600 content out every single day on multiple platforms and like if you just take good mythical morning

01:03:49.760 and good mythical more and you say that is your output on a given day yeah and there's so many

01:03:56.520 plays 40 minutes and there's all these moments that happened in that content that could become

01:04:01.740 a great social media this seems like just i mean this is like the whole clipping thing this is

01:04:05.260 obvious it wasn't obvious to us until we realized that we were making this show that put all this

01:04:11.440 effort and then we were coming up with some dumb sketch to put on tiktok right instagram right and

01:04:17.620 they were just like let's just make this show make it as good as we possibly can and then say

01:04:21.940 to our team you guys find the best moments and package them in the best possible yeah just clip

01:04:26.460 them yeah it works better for our social media yeah totally it feels like a more cohesive universe

01:04:31.280 yeah we're also not like all right let's let's we would take a day and make like 12 short form

01:04:38.120 videos in a day yeah i saw i saw someone say that when i first started posting videos they were like

01:04:43.840 oh i post like 12 to 15 tiktoks a day and that's how i we didn't post them every day but we would

01:04:50.960 bank them that's just crazy but for us it was we were yeah we were an entire day what else could

01:04:57.440 we do with that day besides just make one-off tiktoks that aren't strategic for what we how

01:05:03.600 we actually want to express ourselves right and they're not aligned with what you guys are wanting

01:05:07.560 to and it wasn't exactly yeah us and our ideas it was it was just like oh guys here's a trend

01:05:14.060 let's put these two middle-aged dudes yeah doing this trend and it's like the fact that we're

01:05:19.300 three months late to the trend like a middle-aged white guy would be it's very obvious that we have

01:05:24.940 no idea what we're doing yeah we were on brand don't get me wrong that became weirdly enough

01:05:29.440 it was working they're always late yes this is the way our that this whole system works like why

01:05:36.000 are we doing this okay i do have some fun facts about you y'all are both you y'all will let me

01:05:41.200 know if they're fun okay um and if not i do put a strike against amanda if you guys say they're not

01:05:46.620 fun her job's on the brink got it so not whether or not they're facts yeah yeah no just whether

01:05:51.600 or not they're fun yeah um okay this one says that you once jointly owned a 1992 ford bronco

01:05:58.220 as a quote company vehicle and for camping according to my taxes it was a company vehicle

01:06:05.240 it was very fun that was very fun until we're on the side of a mountain and it won't start and we

01:06:11.880 have to use a screwdriver in the ignition to get down the mountain it was actually putting a

01:06:20.420 screwdriver into the ignition and hitting it with a hammer yeah what kind of jalopy were you guys

01:06:27.360 driving a 1992 while you were going i do love a 92 bronco like you're going 65 because i don't

01:06:36.160 think if you get to 70 65 miles per hour down the highway and it would just shut off just like

01:06:42.100 completely get the screwdriver and that was you would lose power steering oh my god down the

01:06:48.060 highway scary as hell you have to crank it back up while going full speed and then yeah we got

01:06:54.400 the hammer very fun very fun amanda ben our director who's worked for us forever he bought

01:07:01.420 that he bought the bronco off you guys yeah i think for like four hundred dollars and then he

01:07:06.640 got a steal too i think we had a yeah he ran for two months right yeah and he said uh sorry final

01:07:12.580 sale no refunds okay this one says you met in first grade when you both had to stay in during

01:07:18.400 recess for writing swear words on your desk what were the swear words very fun well the truth is

01:07:25.540 we don't remember but we don't remember said that it was damn in hell because we weren't capable of

01:07:30.700 worse than that anything we didn't know the f word at the time although when i was five years

01:07:35.760 old i lived out here so like three four and five i lived out here how interesting and there was a

01:07:41.940 neighbor named rochelle and she was probably 12 at the time and she one day she leaned into my ear 0.87

01:07:51.820 and she was like have you ever heard of the word fuck oh what kind of ominous whisper and i was 0.91

01:08:00.360 like is this a proposition i know i was gonna say no but i'll never i'll never forget that 0.99

01:08:05.740 So I did know about fuck when I was five. 0.96

01:08:09.580 So technically I did know. 0.96

01:08:10.940 But I would never have written it.

01:08:12.420 No, there's no way.

01:08:13.520 You're too pure of heart and spirit, both of you.

01:08:15.900 But still fun.

01:08:16.960 Yeah, but still very fun.

01:08:18.800 Okay, this one says,

01:08:19.560 as teenagers you were both members of a punk rock band

01:08:22.060 called the Wax Paper Dogs.

01:08:24.160 Yeah, with a Z. 0.76

01:08:25.420 Yeah, I see that.

01:08:26.480 Paper Dogs with a Z.

01:08:28.260 And what instruments did you guys play?

01:08:30.360 I'm so curious.

01:08:31.480 We were both, we were dual lead singers.

01:08:35.740 You guys are conjoined twins.

01:08:37.440 You just do the same thing.

01:08:38.840 We started as dual lead singers.

01:08:40.800 And then me, because I have a shame reflex.

01:08:46.780 I was like, somebody's got to play guitar.

01:08:49.220 And I know it's not going to be Link.

01:08:50.960 We already had a guitarist.

01:08:52.560 I started playing guitar.

01:08:54.100 So now I play guitar.

01:08:55.480 Period.

01:08:55.760 And then you did play the tambourine in that band.

01:08:58.500 And a lead singer, period.

01:09:00.680 Yeah, you need a little tambourine if you're a lead singer.

01:09:03.100 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:09:03.720 That little shoulder shimmy. 0.81

01:09:04.800 the only punk rock band in the county that had a tambourine and that's what set you apart you knew 0.68

01:09:11.660 you were like we need something different about us i'm gonna get a tambourine i like how you

01:09:15.280 started as dual lead singers though you're like let's try it okay we'll see and then we'll see

01:09:19.960 who's better and no dances though no i don't see that in your guys's future no that's um that's

01:09:25.720 not shocking to hear i'll say that uh this one says you were both inducted into the north carolina

01:09:30.260 state chapter of the order of the engineer where members are given rings to quote wear on the pinky

01:09:36.800 finger of the working hand you can see ring list we do not currently wear the yeah this one's not

01:09:43.120 as fun when you get to the pinky ring why's it gotta be a pinky ring uh you guys aren't rocking

01:09:49.700 with a pinky ring sound like a not from the order of the engineer but we both have engineering

01:09:54.260 degrees yeah so that's period i know that and i know you know what that also makes perfect sense

01:09:58.860 because you both are extremely smart and everyone who's an engineer is always very smart but you

01:10:03.380 guys are far more social than a lot of engineers i meet yeah i have that working very hard i used

01:10:08.380 to do um i used to my mom was in pr for years when i graduated from college i couldn't get a job in

01:10:14.580 the field i wanted so i went to pr and when i did that my mom worked with engineers because i i

01:10:20.340 always say like i did outreach for a major infrastructure projects which basically means

01:10:25.020 uh any sort of major construction i was the girl going to your door and letting you know

01:10:30.960 your commute's gonna suck for the next probably 25 years um do you want to get emails about it

01:10:36.280 that was that was my job so all i did was interact with engineers and stuff like that and so they are

01:10:41.800 extremely smart um but not very social so you guys are very social compared to most engineers

01:10:46.220 we're not very good engineers and maybe that's why god doesn't give with both hands they were

01:10:51.500 Like, I'm going to give you this unbelievable talent in Empire, but no engineering.

01:10:55.920 Don't go into engineering.

01:10:57.540 Okay, last fun fact.

01:10:59.120 In high school, Link ate a worm to impress a girl, and Rhett drew a detailed comic book style picture of it.

01:11:06.960 I think I still have this picture.

01:11:08.800 And it was, to be clear, it was a worm's anus. 0.98

01:11:12.180 Have to make that clear.

01:11:13.580 Well, because we were dissecting the worms.

01:11:17.400 In class.

01:11:18.700 So this worm had been- 0.72

01:11:19.880 And so we had to identify the anus.

01:11:22.440 Formaldehyde, or however you say that.

01:11:24.020 Yeah.

01:11:24.420 Which is a poison.

01:11:25.760 Right.

01:11:26.720 And you said, I know what will get her. 0.99

01:11:29.680 She was cute.

01:11:30.320 I had a way of, I wish I still, I'm not a good collector.

01:11:33.240 I mean, I just swallowed it like a pill, dude.

01:11:35.900 It really wasn't that much.

01:11:37.000 She dared me.

01:11:38.360 But for some reason, I did have a tendency to create comic book,

01:11:43.580 like maybe it's just one panel of moments that happen with you and me and our friends.

01:11:49.640 mostly me

01:11:51.560 I was your muse

01:11:52.580 something notable

01:11:53.460 I would like create

01:11:54.360 like a story

01:11:54.980 and I'm such a bad collector

01:11:56.400 I should have given

01:11:57.360 all of those

01:11:57.960 I have it

01:11:58.480 I do think I have it

01:11:59.480 oh okay good

01:12:00.060 okay period

01:12:00.840 a comic book style picture

01:12:02.020 of you eating a worm

01:12:02.820 did it impress the girl

01:12:04.300 no

01:12:05.080 she said

01:12:07.160 dude I dare you

01:12:07.920 yuck

01:12:08.700 I mean the fact that

01:12:09.700 we are still talking about it

01:12:11.160 all these decades later

01:13:01.760 so many questions and i'm talking too much yeah just tell us something i do want to tell you

01:13:05.040 something i think that you both are so just paramount to the space i think you guys are

01:13:11.060 incredible and I think what you guys have built is so admirable to me like the way you guys have

01:13:16.100 moved uh in the industry I find just so inspiring because I think that I I can tell like I said

01:13:24.000 earlier the intentionality you guys put behind how you guys build and obviously the content you put

01:13:28.720 out is so hilarious and so fun and it's impactful in many ways but I think the way you guys have

01:13:33.420 grown over the years really inspires me and how I want to run my business and I think obviously on

01:13:39.740 the entertainment side you guys are evergreen in my opinion you guys are so so fun and so 0.71

01:13:45.700 informed and i think there needs to be more white men like you guys in the space and i mean that

01:13:51.600 very literally non-evil white men in the space is rare and the fact that you guys are still here

01:13:57.340 and you're still doing it and you guys care about such like your activism too is also so inspiring

01:14:02.700 to me both of you and so i do activism is a huge part of my platform as well and it's like at the

01:14:08.600 forefront of a lot of the stuff I do and I feel like people like you existing in this space and

01:14:12.580 doing so well now and then working with Netflix and you know expanding your empire even bigger

01:14:16.780 really makes me believe that I can continue to hold my morals and everything front facing and

01:14:23.520 not be afraid of it detracting from my career in any way so I want to thank you guys for continuing

01:14:28.160 to put that at the front I think that's incredible and I think what you guys build and everything you

01:14:32.540 have built you have earned and I think you guys are amazing and I can't wait to see you guys keep

01:14:36.540 being huge giants in the space like it's it brings me a lot of hope that there are good

01:14:42.160 white men existing in entertainment it brings me a lot of hope we really appreciate you saying that

01:14:49.420 hate to burst your bubble but it but it is because of two wonderful women and period and that's on

01:14:56.260 there too and that's exactly why i like you guys ultimately period we're only doing this we're

01:15:01.840 literally we're only doing this because the first time we ever like entertained

01:15:07.660 a crowd as adults it was a friend's rehearsal dinner and we like sang a song

01:15:15.100 about him and we get into the car afterwards with Jesse and Christy and

01:15:20.260 who we were dating I think no you had married that's right Chris and I were

01:15:25.420 newlyweds and I was engaged to Jesse yeah Greg got married in the middle yep

01:15:29.140 and then they were like y'all they did say y'all definitely y'all need to do something with this

01:15:36.060 and it felt like it was a it was permission to be like you go for it go after this we know that

01:15:43.140 we don't know what kind of life that will create and what kind of instability instability that

01:15:47.160 will create but but when you come home you better not be different and i think as soon as you are

01:15:53.580 we're cutting it off no more that's really right that's i mean we're we're grounded because of them

01:15:58.580 and a lot more and i think that's amazing and i believe you first of all but also i think

01:16:04.240 it's wonderful to see white men use privilege for good it's a good thing sometimes you guys 0.62
