[AnthonyPadilla]

come back next week for *I spent a day with DRAG KINGS*

[davidharen]

It's uncommon to stay connected to a childhood friend, it's rare to go into a business with a childhood friend, and it's unheard of to be in a business AND maintain such a close friendship that these two have. Rhett and Link are not only wildly successful as business owners but also as people in general. Pay attention to their insight, they've got it figured out.

[alexandracross]

Link is so articulate and thoughtful - he sells himself short, but I think he is SO wise and intuitive.

[Belz_]

I’m so glad they did the interview separately. As great as they are together it’s nice to see them express themselves independently

[anna_banana]

I really appreciate Anthony breaking up the duo and talking to them individually. I feel like especially with comedy duos people forget that they are individuals and not a packaged unit. I hope he does it for the game grumps one day too

[sarcoboiv]

The fact we live in a timeline where Rhett and Link took care of Smosh until Ian and Anthony bought back the company makes me feel happy to be in this timeline 🥰

[soul-odug]

Their friendship is better than most marriages

[mehcha_]

its honestly incredible that they are still together for over 30 years, their friendship is stronger than most relationships today

[destinycarpenter]

You were never the sidekick Link, you and Rhett both have amazing qualities that make you both special to the world! We love you guys!

[jonacarweenie]

Hearing link say he felt like a sidekick hurt, he's so important to the operation and he is absolutely 50% of the team, just because Rhett is more confident and a comfortable force doesn't discount Link's contributions.

[YTFloveever]

Did anyone else really bawl their eyes out in the end of their individual interviews, when Anthony was thanking Rhett and Link for saving Smosh, and the serendipity of Rhett and Link being the duo who helped bring back this Smosh duo... oh it's so heartwarming and melting and makes me feel like we should always trust the universe

[justopher]

This is really powerful. Both Rhett and Link raise each other up, but are also willing to criticize each other in a respectful way without making it “he does this wrong and my opinion is right.”

[AidanXavier]

It's interesting that Link sees it as starting with him as the sidekick, when Rhett describes it as Link was being entertaining and Rhett went to help. It seems like Rhett might not think it started with Link as a sidekick.

[Shika_]

I absolutely LOVE the fact that we finally get to see them as *individuals* and let their personalities shine individually!

[alexandramantha]

Every workplace "leader" should be introduced to Rhett and Link. How these two treat each other and their team of people is incredibly rare. To see the respect and love that they have for one another, it's really sweet. They're good guys to their cores and they've made an awesome empire with GMM. I'm a proud Mythical Beast and owe SO many of my laughs to these two men.

[LadyCynthiana]

Not only do Rhett and Link and Ian and Anthony have two beautiful friendship love stories, the love story between Mythical and Smosh is epic and fulfilling as well. Love what you guys have done to build each other up!

[jakeob]

"You never get to a point where you don't have to talk through things" is a statement that really resonates with me. It's super cool to hear how Rhett and Link worked through different obstacles in their friendship and seeing the similarities and differences compared to Ian and Anthony. Great vid!

[emmahackler]

You can tell that Rhett and Link are such good guys from this video. The way they were just waiting for Ian and Anthony to find each other again is so sweet. I’m not a regular watcher of GMM, but I super appreciate everyone in this video for being human and kind ❤

[elleerobb]

As someone who follows GMM, it's so lovely to hear Link's fear tried to take over and Rhett made sure it didn't. As someone with extreme anxiety, what they both had to say about it was really inspiring and something to learn from. So nice to learn more about who they are as both individuals and a duo.

[aadil]

The way Link's face lit up so much when Anthony thanked him is so sweet, he looked like he was tearing up
