Episode notes

The speaker highlights the significant role that faith and their tight-knit church community played in their life and friendships during their youth. They emphasized the importance of their relationship with God, describing it as the most crucial aspect that should influence all their decisions and be central to their lives. Additionally, they mentioned how this strong faith led them to join a religious organization while in college.

Best friends Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal started out as “comedians for Christ,” and grew their partnership into one of the most successful YouTube platforms in existence. During college they created silly videos and songs for Christian events, and later built a following on YouTube before most people knew what it was. After struggling to find stardom in Hollywood, they continued to build a presence on YouTube: sampling punishingly hot peppers, writing ear-wormy songs about random things, showing off glasses that turned the world upside down. Nowadays, their entertainment company, Mythical, reports over 75 million subscribers and 25 billion lifetime views.
