How Old Were Rhett And Link When They Started Gmm

So, you’re wondering how old Rhett and Link were when they started Good Mythical Morning? Buckle up, because the answer is surprisingly young and seriously adorable.

They launched GMM in 2012. Rhett was 34, and Link was 33. That’s right—they were barely out of their early thirties, just two regular dudes with big dreams and even bigger appetites for weird food.

Think about it like this: when they filmed that first episode, they were about the same age as your cool uncle who still wears band tees. They weren’t ancient sages or fresh-faced college kids—they were smack dab in the middle of “adult but still figuring life out” territory.

To put it in perspective, Rhett and Link had already been best friends for over two decades. They had met in first grade, so by age 33 and 34, they had been cracking each other up for 26 years. They didn’t start as strangers; they started as comedy soulmates.

Imagine if you and your childhood bestie decided to launch a YouTube show at 33. You’d probably still be nervous, eat questionable snacks, and laugh at your own farts. That’s basically what GMM was—but with better lighting and millions of viewers.

Now, here’s the wild part: they had already done 10 years of video content before GMM. They weren’t rookies. They were seasoned pros who had been making silly videos since 2006, when they were in their mid-twenties. So by the time they were 33 and 34, they were basically YouTube veterans.

Remember when you tried to start a new hobby at 30? Maybe you picked up painting or jogging. Rhett and Link were like, “Nah, we’ll start a daily show where we eat spicy chicken wings and debate if hot dogs are sandwiches.” And it worked.

If you’re feeling like you missed your chance to do something awesome, take a deep breath. Rhett and Link were 33 and 34 when they hit the GMM jackpot. That’s prime “still have energy but also have a mortgage” age.

Heck, they’re 50 now and still going strong, with gray beards and all. So if they can start a multi-million-dollar empire in their mid-thirties, you can absolutely start that podcast, bakery, or backyard chicken coop you’ve been dreaming about.

“You don’t have to be a teenager to change your life. Sometimes you just need a good friend, a webcam, and a weird idea.”

Let’s break it down even simpler: Rhett = 34, Link = 33. That’s roughly the age you probably are right now, or the age you’ll be soon. It’s the age where you still have time to grow a beard, start a cult following, and become famous for eating a raw sea urchin on camera.

In fact, many of their most iconic moments happened when they were well into their late thirties and forties. The “Will It?” series? That was them at 35+. The “Mythical Crew” chaos? That was them in their forties. Age is just a number when you’re having fun.

So the next time you watch GMM and see two grown men biting into a pickle-flavored lollipop, remember: they were 33 and 34 when they first hit record. They weren’t kids. They were just two old friends who refused to grow up.

And honestly? That’s the best reason to start anything. Whether you’re 23 or 43, if you’ve got a buddy and a silly idea, you’re already halfway there. Rhett and Link proved it—one ridiculous taste test at a time.

Go ahead. Text your best friend right now. Say, “Hey, we should start something.” You’re probably the perfect age for it. Just don’t forget to bring a bucket for the weird snacks.
