Everyone has a morning routine. Oftentimes it includes brushing your teeth, taking a shower, or eating breakfast. My morning routine is pretty similar, but I add a bit of a twist. I start every morning off right with my favorite YouTube comedy duo, Rhett and Link.
These two have been making their YouTube morning show, Good Mythical Morning, for 6 years and they keep getting better.
A typical episode consists of the two best friends sitting behind their iconic GMM desk, eating crazy food combinations, testing weird experiments, or quizzing each other on oddities of the world. Their conversations are hilarious and oh so entertaining.
Nothing about this show is normal. It is full of laughs and interesting games, making each episode unique and new. Rhett, Link, and their awesome crew are full of new ideas all the time, making sure the show never gets boring.
If I were to compare GMM to something, I would probably say that it is like a late show, except that it's in the morning. So maybe it's an "early show". Whatever that means.
However, it has segments and guests and it pokes fun at pop culture. The difference between a typical late show and this is that GMM is not run by a program like NBC, so they are not dictated to follow any sort of script or follow any certain agenda. With this in mind, the crew generally ad libs much of their show, making it fun and spontaneous.
While the show is pretty ridiculous, I enjoy it immensely. When I'm watching the show, I'm laughing and taking a break from the problems of life. I've been watching the show for so long, that I have come to feel connected to Rhett and Link, despite never having met them in person.
I believe that many of their faithful viewers (nicknamed the "Mythical Beasts") feel the same. Their daily dose of comedy gives me hope that the world is not as bad as it often seems.
Life can get really hard. Most of the time it's hard to see the good in the world, and it feels like all news is bad news. Stuff like this leads us to become increasingly pessimistic about life. In times like this, it helps to look on the bright side and laugh a little more.
They say laughter is the best medicine and I think this is very true. Laughter seems to heal all wounds and make every day a little brighter. Rhett and Link definitely bring a little more joy to my life every morning and have genuinely helped me cope with my mental illness.
For anyone looking for a little more humor, joy, and "mythicality" in their life, I highly recommend checking these guys out and make your next morning, a good mythical morning .
