this part was so cute in todays gmm, and their big smiles after link says that he does like rhett. and the way link stops everything he’s doing to look at rhett and say that- 🤭 i’m so delusional
had a dream I commented "rhett and link talk to each other like they're the first humans to walk the earth and they're just spitballing and figuring shit out trial and error" and in the dream they reacted to/read the comment but they interpreted 'first humans' as Adam and Eve and not Grug and Greg (because of course) and did a whole garden of Eden photoshoot
Have RandL ever addressed the near kiss on the lady and the tramp pasta sauce taste test?
Not to my knowledge. They also denied they were almost kissing at the moment. However, if you look at them closely, it seems like Link was trying to make it happen *accidentally* with the godspeed he was going at it and Rhett was getting super anxious and broke the noodle sometimes in the very last moment.
do you have any gmm/more episodes you keep re-watching because it has rhinky content in them?
Well anon, I got into this fandom 17 years after Rhett and Link started on YouTube lmao XD I was always kind of tangentially aware of them but didn't start watching until September 2021 so I'm still in the process of first time watching. So, I'll recommend (imo) the shippiest vid from each year since September 2021:
2021: GMM #2064 - Will It Gummy? Taste Test
2022: GMM#2105 - Will It Umbrella?
2023 (so far): GMM#2323 - Try To Squeeze Into This Challenge
If anyone else wants to recommend any, please do! :3
Aaaaah, Rhett and Link! I love you guys every weekday morning gracing my TV screen. Your silly antics and banter make me smile. Your tshirts are fun and funky. Your paid subscription service is unique and enjoyable. I'm a Mythical Beast, it's fair to say.
Now, anyone that knows these two knows they love Peanut Butter and they love cereal. Especially Link. So therefore, I jumped when they brought out their own cereal. They were hyping it up as a bowl of nostalgia with a less serious concept, and an 80's vibe.
I will give my final overall rating at the end.
I decided to split my taste test between the two cereals. First up is the "Sweet Mac N Mello":
Cost: ⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This cereal is EXPENSIVE. The two pack is cost prohibitive and the four pack is over $30! Add to this that many have mistaken a subscription to the cereal for a one time purchase, and it's apparent there's a cost issue here. Yes I get that it's not in stores and that'll inflate cost being direct to consumer, but it's a damn small box to boot (9oz.). Low marks here.
The Experience: ⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This cereal is made in LA, and then (in my case) took a tour of the US Postal network: Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Arizona, then a week in Whittier, California only about three hours from the manufacturing point and then three days in Las Vegas before another two more days waiting in the North Las Vegas distribution center. The shipping is NOT streamlined and is definitely in need of an upgrade.
The box is weak, glue issues on some, and structural deficiencies on mine. The backs are barely hanging on by a thread.
The bags are glued shut well, preserving freshness which is one kudos I can give.
The Randler on the box is retro and the colors used are vibrant, it's a pleasing design.
Taste: ⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: It's bland. Apparently Rhett and Link had to find some place that would make elbow macaroni cereal noodles for this cereal. It was a cute idea in thought, and absolutely awful in execution. The noodles are gigantic and you'll find yourself trying to cram five or six at a time into your maw, only for the majority of the ones on your spoon to splashdown bowlside and the milk typhoons up onto you. If you aren't so lucky, the shape of the cereal will hold onto milk and will dump plenty on you because they're hollow.
Initially I thought the taste was that of Kix, but after a bowl I've decided that it's more closely that of Honeycomb. The cereal itself even reminds me of that brand, even down to the mouthfeel. The mallows are tiny by comparison and are of the sort you find in instant packs with hot cocoa mix. Imparting a generic lightly sweet crunch.
The cereal milk is weird. There's a greasy sheen on top of the milk, it has a vanilla milk smell while the milk is still cold, and begins to smell of coffee after sitting for about five minutes. After 20 minutes it reaches room temp and the smell is popcorn. The milk tastes absolutely disgusting, ending up tasting like someone melted a stick of butter in a glass of milk. Very little sweetness and I can't see any kid drinking this.
As a dry snack, it tastes worse and the texture is styrofoam meets wet cardboard. The taste gives off stale cornmeal vibes which is odd for a fresh bag of cereal.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This cereal won't cereal. It barely is edible. I now have to eat one and a third boxes of it. Fun times. The PB and Honey I'm hoping is a lot more flavorful. The experience was bad, the product is not good and it's kinda ironic that Rhett and Link would push the retro angle so hard and not give us what made 80's cereals so great: SUGAR. Once again: SUGAR. SUGAR. SUGAR. It needs it soooooo bad.
As the crew cleared the taste teste debris, Chase said, "You guys want me to put the leftovers in the fridge?"
Rhett clutched a bowl to his chest. "No! I'm eating this!"
"You cannot eat that much pudding,” said Link. Rhett looked at him, and he added, "Okay, you should not eat that much pudding."
"Well I'm eatin' this one. Y'all get your own.”
Link had arranged the bowls into Nasty and Good; he pointed to the former and said to Chase, “These go in the compost. I’ll take the rest to our office.”
"Cool beans,” Chase said with a thumbs-up, and left the PAs to their work.
Meanwhile, as soon as his mic was on the desk, Rhett scooped up all four bowls into his arms and bolted.
"I call dibs on the butterscotch,” called Link.
“That depends how fast you are," Rhett replied, and fled the set in an exaggerated Ministry of Silly Walks lope.
"Hey!"
Link rose to chase him, then glanced at Stevie, who sighed.
"Go on. It's almost lunch anyway."
He tossed his mic on the desk and sprinted, leaving the amused PAs in his wake.
By this time Rhett was halfway down the hall to their office, balancing the four bowls in his arms like a juggler. He spotted Link in pursuit and picked up the pace.
"Don't you dare eat my butterscotch!" Link hollered.
“Possession is nine tenths of the law!”
"Rhett!"
Rhett cackled and disappeared around the corner in a blur of hair and legs. Link reached the office just as Rhett was kicking the door closed; he stopped it with his foot and pushed it back open to reveal Rhett bounding up the loft stairs two at a time.
“You’re gonna hit your—”
Rhett’s forehead bumped the joist and he swore, almost dropping his cargo.
"—head."
By the time he got into the loft, Rhett had spread the bowls in a line on a side table.
"Do not eat all of that."
"Why not?" asked Rhett in his Mama Di voice. "Is it gonna make my tummy sick?”
"Gimme the butterscotch.”
Rhett stood in front of the table and crossed his arms.
"Make me."
'C'mon man, don't be an asshole, gimme my pudding."
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don’t I'm gonna kick your ass and take it anyway."
Rhett had to hunch over to stand in the short loft space; he loomed over Link, hair hanging in his face, and grinned from between the curls.
“Wanna wrestle for it?”
By instinct Link looked back toward the office, which was of course empty. Still, he kept his voice to a whisper as he hissed, "Are you fucking kidding me right now?"
Rhett reached back and plucked bowl from the table. He sniffed its contents dramatically.
"Mmmm.”
Link snatched for it, and Rhett pulled it out of reach.
"My terms were clear."
By now Link was smirking too. “You better watch out, son. You mess with the bull, you get the horns."
Rhett stood there for a second, and then he dropped the bowl onto the table and came at him.
They knew how to move up here and not a single item fell over as Link put a shoulder into Rhett’s gut, was seized around the shoulders, pivoted and used Rhett’s height and pull him off balance and throw him to his back in the chair. It reclined and Rhett lay there, hair in his face, legs splayed, breathing hard. Link climbed atop him and pinned him to the leather, closing both fists in his hair.
"What'd I just say?"
Rhett eyes glittered up at him. “That a threat or a promise?"
Link could already feel him getting hard, and he shifted his hips and smiled at the intake of breath. He lowered his mouth to Rhett's and hovered there, millimeters from touching.
"Both."
Rhett was already unbuttoning his shirt, but he froze when Link drew back, climbed off him, and walked away.
"Hey—!"
Link turned back to face him, bowl in hand. He leaned back against the table and brought the spoon to his mouth.
"But first I'm gonna eat my pudding.”
"You’re such a fuckin dork,” Rhett said, but his hard-on bobbed in his jeans.
Link licked the spoon. "Did I tell you to stop undressing?"
Rhett smirked beneath his beard, then bit his lip as he toed off his shoes and his fingers returned to his buttons.
The same beautiful ocean blues free of specs, but hidden behind a paywall. Exception: All posts related to GMM episodes (Bonus Rounds, BTS Photos, BTM) have been included in the GMM archives.
Loved the matching shirts! So cute. I remember Link saying he always has to adjust what he wears to match Rhett, but if he was wearing MERCH today maybe they made Rhett change to match? Either way, they look very cute and soft in those colors today.
The slapstick nature of the peanut butter taste test was great! It’s nice to see some of the crew. I like Mikayla (sp?), would like to see her on the show more often.
Link getting angry at Fancher (sp?) for not trying hard enough at the rope pull was hilarious.
Christie calling Rhett out that he actually doesn’t know what’s in her and Link’s bedroom!!
Link’s hilarious gag about pretending his wife was talking to him instead of the dog.
Rhett’s stupid construction worker joke. His wife didn’t seem upset so it’s funny not gross imo.
Link possessively touching the cargo shorts fly after Rhett won them, while staring at the audience, then later telling Rhett he could go in the hyperbaric chamber in a sexy voice. And how funny he made yelling “I”M A GIRL!”
Even got a tiny clap from Link during the promo section. YES. I’m glad for any tiny claps we get these days.
It’s funny to think of them playing hide and seek on their date nights, even though I know they were kidding.
Rhett’s face when he heard where his wife was hiding... LMAO
