Rhett’s brother is Cole, who is three years his elder. When Rhett was three years old, the family relocated to Thousand Oaks, California. After a few years, they returned east and settled in Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Rhett met his running mate, Link, in September 1984 at Buies Creek Elementary School. Rhett graduated magna cum laude from North Carolina State University in December 2000 with a civil engineering degree.

Rhett Mclaughlin Career:

Not long after graduating from college, Rhett and Link quit their jobs as engineers to focus on their YouTube channel. Today, at 42 and 41 respectively, this comedy duo are the OG YouTube stars. They host the popular daily show Good Mythical Morning, on which they eat odd items like Cheetos-flavored Pop-Tarts. In addition to their morning show, they have four other channels,. a podcast, and two books.

Their first viral hit was “Wolfpack or Tarheels?” which was recorded in 2006 when Rhett’s 3-year-old son Locke McLaughlin wept over the NC State Wolfpack’s departure and their rivalry with the North Carolina Tar Heels. YouTube wanted to feature this video on the home page, but the pair requested that one of their songs be used instead since they wanted to be recognized for their funny work rather than a viral video. After it was taken down for unknown reasons, the duo uploaded it to their channel, Rhett & Link.

On September 18, 2008, Rhett and Link created their YouTube channel. Their channel Good Mythical Morning has more than 6 billion views and over 16 million subscribers as of January 2020. “Welcome to Good Mythical Morning with Rhett & Link! Tune in every Monday-Friday to witness us consume genuinely incredible meals, explore surprising new items and topics, compete in unique games with celebrity guests, conduct critical studies in enjoyable ways, and more,” they describe their channel.
