Jen and I unsubscribed from cable 1997... hard to believe that was 18 years ago. Nowadays we can thank the internet for access to anything, anytime; so who needs cable? And with the content available, there's a good chance to find some worth our time.
Some months ago I posted about Studio C and that it was fun and a bit goofy, and gave our family a good laugh. Well, we've added another laughable resource to our video selections in the form of "Good Mythical Morning" on YouTube. I'm surprised at the creativity that some of these folks bring to their content, and they certainly can build an audience (7.8 million subscribers for Good Mythical Morning, and counting).
GMM's audience is now worthy of advertising deals with Alka-Seltzer, McDonald's, Wendy's and Cadillac, to name a few. See their Wikipedia page, describing the two life-long friend, Rhett and Link, behind the silliness of Good Mythical Morning. They post a video every Monday through Friday morning, and have over a thousand videos on YouTube... plenty to keep you busy catching up.
For us, we enjoy gathering at the end of the night for some family TV time, and of course the kids may pull up a video or two during the day on their devices for a few laughs as well.
The chance to hang out as a family is very important to us, and it's important for a power pantry lifestyle. Whether you are married or not, or have kids or don't, it's vital to have community around you, be it friends or coworkers or immediate family. The common bonds you share and the chance to do life together keep you connected with the world, and grounded in the full experiences of life.
Give Rhett and Link a try sometime. Not all their stuff is a total hoot, and some of it is a bit PG13, but mostly you'll find two guys who have known each other over 30 years enjoying the chance to laugh together and make others laugh as well.
By the Way
Rhett and Link also have a second YouTube channel with further goofiness in the form of parody and original songs, skits and spoof commercials. Check it out here: Rhett & Link
