First of all: Wow. Never had a GMM episode that made me cry and laugh so much. Jeez.
Second of all: This is my attempt at filtering some thoughts about a show that is so meaningful to me and getting them out so bear with me.
I felt insecure about making a video, because, well, my ex-teacher could see me and a lot of other people and then they would know but gosh, I just need to get this out. I love them so much. So, so much. Rhett and Link have been there for me, when even I couldn’t be there for me. They made me laugh, when all of my emotions could have been described as just.. a gray... pile of... mud.
And they still proceed to do so.
I’ve had times, where I was so close to giving up. Especially during school, especially during a very hard time, where my parents had issues accepting me as who I was (and am to this day), when they had problems, that impacted me so greatly and didn’t open their eyes to how THEY made me feel and how I was “feeling” already. When they just couldn’t offer the help I would have needed.
When I lost my home, when I lost my loving parents. When I lost my past, my safe place. Moments in my life, when I didn’t know where I belonged to.
GMM was there, when I came home after a day of surviving, after a day of pushing through, just so I could watch Rhett and Link, eating horrible stuff, laughing about dad jokes or doing other WACKY stuff.
GMM kept me alive. Not as in I wouldn’t be here without it (but who knows) but as in: They kept me laughing. Kept me going. Inspired me. Motivated me.
And I know this sorta thing applies a lot of pressure on all of them, so I’m not gonna dwell on it.
We shouldn’t forget, who they are. They are people, two men, who love creating and acting and singing and making music and enjoying their lives with their wonderful wives and kids. Their crew, containing people with past and present and future lives, significant others, kids and so much more.
They all work together on something that we need so badly, that we enjoy so greatly, that we love So, SO, so so much. That impacts us in the best ways.
Can we make this an episode where, for once, nobody hates on the people that mean so much to Rhett and Link (and therefore us)? Their crew, their YT colleagues?
