If you have a question about R&L's lives that you think should be answered in this post, please let me know in the comments below! ** Please note that I'm not exploring any of their friends' or family's social media profiles or otherwise "stalking" people to get any information I'm just using what Rhett and Link themselves have told their audience. Any Rhett and Link video or project is fair game for this info, but I'll be pulling mostly from the RhettandLinKasts, Good Morning Chia Lincoln, Good Mythical Morning/Good Mythical More, Ear Biscuits, and Rhett and Link's Book of Mythicality (denoted by " BOM" and the page number). It will be written somewhat in narrative biography format. That gave me the idea to undertake this project to collect video links of where our guys made statements about their personal histories.īelow, I'll be documenting important and most asked-about R&L life events with answers in evidential YouTube or other source links. People always have questions about the lives of Rhett and Link - Where did they grow up? How old are they? What did they do before Internetainment? - and people want to see the evidence of when Rhett and Link themselves stated these facts. ![]()
