I am soaking wet because I just got out of a giant bowl of Cheerios
and I have no idea what just happened.
I care very much what I look like when I bathe.
This is Link.
Bath clothes one!
This is Rhett.
Their show, Good Mythical Morning, is the most watched daily show online.
No big deal.
Best friends since the first grade, they went to school to become engineers and then quit
after graduation to create internet content full time.
We joined them while they were shooting the cover for their upcoming book.
We get to make an internet show for a living, so we’re gonna do things like bathe in weird things.
I do things that I only wished I could do as a kid.
Hey guys, we’re here with Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning and we’re talking
about their upcoming book, Rhett and Link’s Book of Mythicality.
You turn Pop Tarts into spaghetti, you shower and eat oranges.
What does that say about who you guys are?
I want to teach anyone who watches it, as long as it’s not hurting yourself or somebody else,
what’s the harm in trying it?
The whole idea behind the concept of why we’re in a bowl on the cover is because that is
something that we did as part of our show.
We took a bath in cereal.
Woohoo!
We’ve taken a bath in ranch dressing, in chicken noodle soup, and various other substances
that you shouldn’t take baths in.
What is the best advice you give in the book?
How we wish that we would stop and celebrate more.
We wouldn't go from one project to the next so quickly without stopping to like appreciate
the moment, you know?
In the chapter called, “Embracing Maturity,” which is something that I think if you watch
our show, you know we have embraced pretty thoroughly…
Ha ha!
I love it!
We talk about the idea that yeah, you gotta grow up, you gotta be an adult, you gotta
have responsibility, but you gotta have a part of yourself that doesn’t grow up.
You’ve gotta have a part of yourself that’s willing to jump into a bowl of cereal.
It feels so good though.
So, here I am, watching these two guys who have a pretty cool approach to life and I
realized, if there was ever a moment to dive right in, this was it.
So I did.
I mean, how could you not?
The behind the scenes thing with the Cheerio bowl was so out of the ordinary for me,
I mean...I like to think of myself as a risk taker, but yeah, that was a little bit unusual.
But it paid off.
I think once you got in there, you were like, “This is worth it.”
It was worth it.
I wasn’t exactly prepared.
I mean, white jeans, but how could I not get into the bowl of Cheerios?
You’ll never say, “Hey, remember that time I almost got into that bowl of cereal
with those guys?”
Right?
That’s not a story worth telling.
Yeah!
You gotta make those kinds of decisions.
If the opportunity arrives, take it and dive into a bowl of cereal.
I don’t blame you though, it’s actually really nice.
Our motto is: be your mythical best.
Which loosely meant, just embrace the best about yourself and take risks and be creative,
have fun.
When we sat down to be like, “Let’s kind of define what it is that we’re saying is
mythical,” and the definition came out to be, essentially a combination of curiosity,
creativity, and tomfoolery.
We try to never get into a place where we’re taking ourselves so seriously that we can’t
laugh at ourselves, we can’t make fun of ourselves, even as we’re trying to be creative.
We’re gonna have fun.
We’re gonna make each other laugh.
And mythicality kind of embodies all of that together.
If you’re gonna jump in the bowl of cereal, A) do it,
B) go all the way under, but C) don’t forget to come back up before you breathe,
and D) pre-order our book at bookofmythicality.com Do that.
Thanks for watching.
