i love their friendship with Post Malone. he seems like such a genuinely sweet guy. i hope we see him on the show again in the future, cause his GMM episodes are some of my favorites. (and he better stay for the More, too!)
Rhett seemed bemused, but I think it was sweet and considerate of Link to be mindful that the Mythical employees may be more comfortable if their boss is at a different table. It’s not like they aren’t still socializing, and even if the majority or all are fine about it, it’s nice that he considered it.
I was assigned The Body Keeps the Score for my biological foundations of social work class; I didn’t do the reading, and here I am, trying to escape responsibility, AND RHETT REFERENCES THE BOOK? There’s no escape.
Rhett’s “oh no” and looking around as Link tells about how many drinks he has is so funny to me because it’s clearly just him realizing “I definitely should’ve been the one to attend this wedding” 🤣
What do you call that dive? “The Bullet” When you dive in head first… “The Bullet” Literally head first, with your arms down by your hips. “I love it” But what do you call it? “I call it The Bullet”
The hiking experience is 100% accurate. Link you are not alone. I am an annual hiker amongst the rocky mountains. My partner and I have gone through the same set of emotions on MANY of the hikes. One person is tired or having issues, the other is having a great time. To be honest it switches from Hike to Hike. There is always one person wishing they were done and the other person having a great time. The change in experience for each individual occurs on every trip. Who is in shape, who was more prepared, who ate enough food that day, who had to pee HAH. But reflecting on each trip, it is the highlight of every vacation. We talk about the good and the bad hikes. But we talk about them with pride. The fact that we endured and completed a new stretch of land. With only our legs to carry us. Its much more gratifying then driving somewhere, taking a picture and going home.
even when i'm having a bad time on a hike, i'm still having a great time, because i'm out in nature and fresh air. even the hikes that leave me unable to stand up off the couch two days later - I'd still prefer that to being a potato.
Rhett and Link, Will from Raleigh here (and NC State grad). I watched every game starting from the ACC championship at the Players Retreat and went to the bell tower after every win. It was absolutely electric and Raleigh was a buzz and it really brought a ton of people together.
Ahhh Link…. I know that sweet man leans into his uniqueness for his GMM persona, but the true weirdness must clearly run so deep that a total stranger films his chilli cheese fry topped burger consumption.
Maybe Dennis recommends the chili fires and burger to every tourist he meets and shows the videos to his instructor buddies. “Grab the chili fries with your hand” Pretty good prank
Our kids still bring up "the time we almost died", referring to the hike we did on a trail near us called Buggytop here in Tennessee. There were dropoffs of like 60ft straight down at one part. We're all afraid of heights but we were halfway to the largest cave opening in Tennessee so we kept going. We really do laugh about it and pretend like we're going back just to see their collective reactions. Good times.
My bf and I have one of those stories too. 2 years we hiked up this trail in Utah, that's right by the mountain, and at the end of the trail, there was a thin ledge to walk on, that led into a bigger area. With the cliff face on one side, and 100 ft drop on the other, this ledge was probably only a foot wide, with nothing but a cable to hold onto (the cable was for rock climbing). We decided to cross it, without proper gear. We both made it out alive, thankfully 😂
Ha! This has happened to someone else. We got stuck on that trail at Yosemite for 10 hrs (it was blazing hot and we had to rest when we had shade). It is the most physically exhausted I've ever been, and I was a soldier. My girlfriend at the time is now my wife, so we survived that test of our relationship (but she's still not allowed to say, "were almost there."). I didn't need to pee the whole time, but I drank my whole camelbak.
1. Link's family is very lucky to hav him plan out these experiences n is just like a kid enjoying with them. A good father. 2. Solo trips sound amazing n will love to try it.(if only it was safe to do so where I live)
Anyone ever think about how weird this is? Ive watched these guys for like 10 years. I feel like i know just about everything there is to know about them. And they have no idea i even exist.
My immediate thought when Link said they were taking the detour route hike instead of the stairs was: "Well that is gonna be a lot longer." Him not checking the length or thinking about the elevation gain of the trail is very on brand.
To Link, Go to brighton Ski Resort (a canyon over from snowbird). Molly Greens is the only bar @ brighton. By far, the best bison burger you can get while skiing. You can add blue cheese, but that's up to you. Edit: The season ends on the 30th
love the rec link!! I have been listening to Deeper Well on repeat since it’s been out, my favorite song changes so often. I hope to one day feel more comfortable within myself to take solo trips, it sounds great. I hope everyone’s having a good day!!
Rhett-my friend from high school is the director of recruitment for NC state women’s basketball. I have bunch of pictures of him holding the ACC trophy.
Hey Rhett-I’m a Kansas State fan, and I always end up cheering on our former bowl game opponents (if they weren’t total asshats. 🙂). So I was really cheering for an NC State Cinderella story. 👍🏻
As a solo hiker most of the time, I agree with Link. People should absolutely do more trips alone. It creates a serenity of not being responsible for anyone else and everything is on your own time.
It really is an entirely different experience at that point. Sure you maybe doing technically the same things, but you're not adding on the layers of corralling people or interpersonal interaction. It really pushes you into the present moment which is very psychologically productive for those who can handle it
i was a park ranger in yosemite last summer and link is not exaggerating about the john muir trail up to nevada fall!! that thing has for sure ended marriages. it almost killed me when i did it.
As someone who isn't married and is pretty young, could someone explain why "as long as you're happy, stay in it" isn't helpful advice. Is it because it's just a vacuous plattitude? I really don't know, man. Thanks in advance for answering.
You are going to be angry or frustrated or upset at your partner throughout the course of a lifelong commitment and you may not be happy for weeks or months sometimes for things that are out of your or your partners personal control (jobs, where you live, family/friend issues, or just disagreements with your partner) and if you just “give up” for lack of a better term because you arent happy in the now then you would miss out on all the happiness, companionship, and deep personal understanding that could follow. There are obviously unhealthy marriages like there are unhealthy versions of every relationship, but even in the best marriages one or both partners will invariably be unhappy, the difference is that in the good ones you can communicate and work through those moments of unhappiness. So basically yes, its a vacuous platitude that almost encourages giving up instead of putting in the work that a good partnership requires
I agree with what was said before. you shouldn't just base the health of your marriage on the inevitable....the inevitable being that sad, angry, disappointing times will come. So if you just leave at the drop of a hat, you're not going to find yourself staying in a marriage that long
1:06:35 I'm dying at rhett pointing out the hearing issue, and at the clip of link nearly running someone else off the mountain because he can't hear 😂😂😂
Going on a hike and not being willing to pee outside is a huge problem. Definitely the only problem that happened. Trying to hold pee puts your body and mind in a very intense state.
You guys still have the same energy. I've been watching you since 2012, you still have the same energy. Do you remember song biscuits? Where rhett and link made songs like bubble bullets,burrito sunshine, first comment, lost teeth and cats 9 lives songs. Can you guys start song biscuits again.
Thank you for annotating the 30 minutes of sports/basketball talk, so I can skip to something that doesn't make my right temple hurt and give me a headache. 😆
What’s that meme sound where it goes zzrrrmmmmmmmmm… that’s the sound of link drinking. I think it’s called the snoring meme sound but it sounds like a train to me.. that the sound of that marriage advice note. What the????????
I think "as long as you're happy" in this context more means "as long as you're both not miserable" because every long term marriage goes through stages. But you both should definitely not be miserable 24/7. But I agree that the "as long as you're happy" is very vague for sure.
I am even more like Link than I thought! I have met so many Dennises over the years. They are my “single serve friends.” Drives my kids nuts that I talk to everyone! 😂
Next time either of y’all are in Utah I’ll be your “Silent Barber” in my salon sanctuary. 🌱 5 ⭐️ holistic Stylist, Colorist and Barber. I’ll express how big of a fan I am.. by not talking to you. -Whitney Kae Wellness-
rhett looking for confirmation on weather its llamas or alpacas that are from peru lol! just move along bud you dont need to be right about such silly things lol
As an avid hiker in NY with my s.o. I'm wildly curious which specific hike you went on as I look on all trails. We're pudgy rn, but we're seasoned well. The catskills do not play. 😂
I don't think the advice about being happy is bad. Nobody thinks it's going to be all great, but if you're permanently unhappy, then something needs to be done.
I think they were reading the advice as saying "if you're not ALWAYS happy". I'd agree that you're not always going to be happy and sometimes it's work (hard work at that), but I think most people in good marriages are generally happy overall. It's like the old advice of "never go to bed angry". Sometimes the best thing to do is go to bed angry and sleep on it. Most times you'll wake up in the morning feeling much better and able to look at a fight in a new light. It's much easier to resolve issues when you give yourselves a moment to set them aside.
