They've been vague in the past but we've gotten enough context clues to assume they grew up in a conservative religious environment, but hearing all of this really drives it home. Married at 20/21 with kids by 25? No concept of what lesbian, gay, bisexual means? Missionaries? Their upbringing is so freaking interesting. Kudos to their wives for having faith through the really hard financial times and kudos to them for the sheer amount of work ethic it must've taken to get to this point. I feel new respect for them that goes deeper than surface level.

@RougeEric

4 жыл бұрын

@@tylerhostetter9528 To my understanding, the major difference is scale and borad social acceptance (as in most people finding the belief "normal" instead of "marginal). Now if you want to dig a bit deeper into each words' definition, a short definition of a religion is a socio-cultural system (practices, morals, worldviews, etc.) with the supernatural or spiritual as its main subject. On the other hand, a cult has come to refer to a social group with unusual religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs. So in fact, all religions started as cults before they became "normalized" in society, usually through reaching significant scale or by becoming an integral part of a region's culture. Arguably, in an area or context where a religion is uncommon or absent, if someone were to start a group around said religion, it would be a cult. Now, without getting too deep here, evangelism (especially in its most extreme forms) is extremely close to what people think of as "cults". So though @Todd Fischer's comment is unclear, it does somewhat relate to the subject.

I really appreciated/ appreciate the clean comedy and I feel like y'alls style has grown with me as well. Clean, but not too clean.

As a kid of someone whose salary came from support, I appreciate you explaining how it works and the commitment required for those who have chosen that type of career path.

Man this is a special story! And probably the best and most inspiring ear biscuits?! Your story is especially inspring to me, as a 22-yr-old whose passion lays in writing and art. I am experiencing the anxiety of a lonely passionate adventure, especially without a supportive community. This sounds cheesy but your pov makes Mythical an even more precious concept! I always dream of one day being paid doing what I love and living among a trusting community like you both. Whether the dream comes true or not, the inspiration is what I have gratitude for. Thanks Mythical!

I've been watching GMM for a long while now and I would think to myself, why? Like to me y'all are extremely different then me, or I'm extremely different than y'all - except for being funny, and maybe our age, that's all we have in common. I really like you all and I think for me what really pulls my beard (in a good way) is watching you all get along- like your friendship is so authentic. You all have a history that goes way back and now you all get to work together in such an interesting and creative way. All I'm trying to say is I appropriate you both and I'm thankful for what you both shared and it's cool to know that we have one more thing in common. Take care!

I also disliked the "bait-and-switchy" tactics. But where I'm from they used friendship, community, even food and games, to entice people to attend, feel comfortable, then peer-pressure them to convert. It always felt underhanded to me similar to tricking a kid with candy to do something for you. It's as if they knew they couldn't convince you thru the merit of their beliefs alone.

Now I find out that, like me, their beliefs have changed, and I'm watching these videos to help me process it, and finding that it's helping me to feel like my years working in ministry have not been a waste.

Rhett, Link, you probably don't realise how inspiring sharing your journey is to us youngsters. We learn A LOT from you.

Hey Rhett, I just listened to this mornings Ear Biscuits and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you sharing such a personal story with us Mythical Beasts. It is an honour that you would be willing to share such a life changing journey with us. Thanks for sharing & keep being hopeful.

So I've been an on/off viewer of y'all's since 2015/2016 (like when i started watched GMM there was like 6 Will Its?) and i've never stuck around long enough in one go to really get a sense of your backstories until this past year, and a lot of what I had picked up on does honestly make a lot more sense now, especially give y'all's ages and where y'all are from. As I said last week, I'm glad y'all are comfortable enough sharing this story with us.

This is so fascinating. It’s especially interesting to me to hear how attached Rhett was at one point to the idea of career evangelism because I perceive him as so new age most of the time

I have to say, as much as I like GMM, I prefer normal Link over “funny” Link.

It makes me so happy to hear that you two were missionaries doing comedy shows in front an actual audiences. It really shows how far you guys have come. :)

Am I the only one who saw this coming? When I listened to their history before I literally thought Rhett could have been a missionary when he talked about traveling after college. I feel like it might be because I grew up in church as well and their vibe is just so distinctive of a youth/worship leader. I always wondered how they weren’t religious because their humor is so wholesome you could play any of it in church.

Am I the only one who goes back and watches these podcasts? They’re just so informative and I can listen to these over and over again lol.

The fact that Christi and Jessi were so supportive after their song at Greg’s rehearsal dinner is ABSOLUTELY heartwarming ❤️💓

You're so bold for doing this. There has been even some backlash, like The Gospel Coalition making an article criticizing the videos, and also a woman named Shelby Abbott claiming to know Link and talking ignorant shit about the podcasts.

This is fascinating! I can’t relate at all except for age but man it’s a great study of the art of performing and it’s different possibly evolutions. I can’t wait for next week to learn about your spiritual journeys. As a completely Un-religious person I think part of me wants to see if you left faith behind, but it will still be interesting to see where you have landed. This truly is a compelling meaningful story thank you for taking the risk to share.

Longtime fan I really appreciate you guys sharing all these details of your story and your journey. All of your content has become a happy part of my life... And it's nice to get to know you guys on a deeper level!! Please put out another album like " Up to this point!!!"

Now it makes so much sense why they both got married so young.

A good chunk of that is probably because that's a real Southern thing (like I'm 23 and at least close to ten people i went to high school with are either married or engaged already and a couple of them have at least 1 kid)

Lots of people marry young and it has zero to do with faith.

I'm not religious, but I am in the south. I got engaged last year at 19.

I would love to hear more stories about them trying to raise money... There had to have been some crazy experiences doing that

I didn't know people did that. I bet they did eat a lot of Ramen back then.

Love these podcasts so much

As someone who is a full time missionary and raises my own support, this was very interesting to me. I loved the stories about their hardships during ministry because I am currently in that season. I also enjoy how even though they do not believe what they used to anymore, they still respect and appreciate the people who were part of it! I’ve been watching Rhet and Link since the “rub some bacon on it” video

This episode inspired me to finally rent and watch "Finding Ms. Locklear" on Amazon Prime. I'm watching it now and it makes me so happy!

This explains more about how the guidelines of religion stifle personal growth and personal thought. I equate it to never passing a 5 yr old's ability to question because when they ask adults "why", the response is "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" or, "BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN." I believe there are people who get stuck in life and never even think to question anything - because then what is their world? Loving this series!

“did anyone video that?” i love when dads use the term video instead of record 😭😂

the lost years of bleak creek.

This is the Rhett and Link version of "How I Met Your Mother." Kudos guys, I LOVE it!

Cole sounds like a great older brother between this and Bouie's Creek documentary

Yeah, that life is totally foreign to me. It was interesting in many aspects.

I appreciate your sharing all this with us. Means a lot. Thank you both.

Great video. Really enjoying these ear biscuits!
