It begins before seven AM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and, due to the circumstances, made Rhett decide to go with his hair "going whatever way it was when I woke up." Rhett was lightly made fun of by the instructor, telling him to stay away from her as if he is there to pick up women despite his age and marital status. He has an older brother named Cole.Īs of January 2013 as a new year's resolution, Rhett acquired a gym membership for himself and joined an hour-long co-ed P90X (aerobics) class. He is the second child of Diane and Jim McLaughlin. Rhett married Jessie Lane in 2001 and they have two sons named Locke (born February 24, 2004) and Shepherd (born in 2009). Quote “I wouldn’t even let China have my beard, let alone a billion dollar bribe.” Rhett has said he would be willing to pay a billion dollars to keep his beard. He was later laid off from this job but had been planning to leave anyway to pursue a life of entertainment with his best friend. He graduated and spent some time working for Black & Veatch. Rhett attended North Carolina State University where he roomed with Link and two other friends, Gregg and Tim, and studied civil engineering. In 1999, Rhett wrote "The Tragedy," which recorded in detail the events surrounding a snowboarding accident that left Link with a broken pelvis and, more notably, a month's worth of memory loss. However, they shot only a few scenes and the film was left unfinished. At fourteen they wrote a screenplay entitled Gutless Wonders and began its film production. Little did they know that the incident would define the course of their lives.Įven as children both Rhett and Link applied their creativity by performing skits and "interviewing" each other as different characters. They spent the time coloring pictures of mythical beasts. Second-grader Rhett McLaughlin met his classmate and to-be lifelong friend, Link Neal, in 1984 at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, North Carolina when the two were held in from recess for writing "hel" and "dam" on their desks, misspelled. Link revealed in an episode of Good Mythical Morningthat when Rhett was younger he competed in three beauty pageants (although Rhett "claims" that never happened.) Rhett is very tall, like his mother. Rhett has one brother named Cole who is three years older than him. In 1984 they moved to Buies Creek, North Carolina, where his dad became a law professor at Campbell University. His family then moved to Thousand Oaks California until Rhett was 5. He lived there until around the age of three. The wheel lands on GIF of the day, a dancing leopard riding an octopus.Rhett James McLaughlin was born in Macon, Georgia USA, on October 11th, 1977. Sarah and Amanda from Las Vegas, Nevada, introduces the Wheel of Mythicality. The prize, a snack Jack Black, is given out in Good Mythical More. Link is under by 42 calories compared to Rhett's 403 calories so Link wins Round Three and the game. Link is provided with three scoops of chocolate ice cream and Rhett is provided with one chocolate brownie. Round Three is the dessert round with a calorie count of 1,850 calories. Link is over by 1,091 calories so Rhett wins Round Two. One box of Frosted Mini-Wheats (18 ounces).Link is provided with a cup of milk and Rhett is provided with one serving of cheese puffs. Round Two is the snack round with a calorie count of 779 calories. Rhett is over by 5 calories so Link wins Round One. Link is provided with a slice of tomato and Rhett is provided with two slices wheat bread. Round One is the sandwich round with a calorie count of 500 calories. They do three rounds and the overall winner gets a prize. If the caloric value is over the limit, a red chip appears, and a buzzer sounds. If the caloric value is the same or under the limit, a green chip appears. She sets the target calorie count for the round, which appears on a blue chip. They use the Amazon Echo's ability to track caloric value to add up the total calorie value of the food they've added to their snack. They are each "dealt" a starter food and they can then choose from the rest of the food items. The aim of the game is for Rhett and Link to make snacks of a certain caloric value, or as close to it as possible without going over, from the food provided for that round. To answer the question they play the game "Snack Blackjack". Link takes Kayla's question to mean how well do Rhett and Link know the caloric values of snacks. The chosen question was from Kayla Pagan on Twitter: Who knows their snacks better, Rhett or Link? This leads to another instalment of All You Had To Do Was Ask (powered by Amazon Echo). Rhett and Link asked the Mythical Beasts for questions about snack advice. In this episode, Rhett and Link play a game of "snack blackjack", which is just like regular blackjack, but with snacks. Calorie Countdown Challenge is the 1045th episode of Good Mythical Morning.
