WTF!! I just graduated from NC State last year, I could've heard Rhett's speech if I failed a couple classes and graduated this year instead

Well you technically still heard it and saved yourself a lot of money 😂

@@SaltAndVi haha, yeah true, it would've been cool to see it live though and possibly meet Rhett

[@skylarcaldwell7208]

You shoulda enjoyed the journey a little more and been disappointed with your grades and you coulda heard Rhett in person :p

[@hamzanasim526]

I’ve been watching these Rhett and link since high school and they have have single handle thought me probably the biggest lesson I’ll ever learn in life. You can be successful and be yourself in the same life.

[@Fizzpop.]

couldn’t have said it better myself

[@MrNoob360]

They really ran out of graduation caps and gave that man a hard hat

[@MyPandabear]

High Graduation Speeches: "Go out there and make your dreams come true! You have such a large world ahead of you all so go out there and achieve greatness!" College Graduation Speeches(aka Rhett): "We dont have any idea what we are doing, we are making it up as we go, we appear like we got it together, dont trust us" LOL

[@KLienne]

And also: You're going to be disappointed

[@DirtBoyTrucker]

Sometimes we take mythical for granted as it's just like a daily vitamin I try to take every day. Rhett and Link are way more than just two best friends who do crazy shit online. They are dad's, they are husbands, they are musicians, they are comedians and they are creatives. When you get to see the real life Rhett or Link it's way more genuine and honest than the characters they play on gmm. Knowledge is power and life is a garden, dig!?!

[@ProffesionalZombie12]

This is going to sound like the strangest thing, but: My Grandpa was basically a slightly shorter (6'5") gray haired Rhett in appearance and attitude. It's been three years to the day since my dear Grandpa died, such was the likeness of Rhett to my Grandpa that I couldn't watch GMM for the next year, despite having been a Mythical Beast since 2015. Got back into it, but still. This feels like something my Grandpa would've said if he were born in more recent times. How he'd have made everyone laugh. For a split second it felt like my Grandpa was back. I'll never truly see my Grandpa again, none of my massive family ever will. But he was there in Rhett's speech. I'm thankful for that as I endure another difficult year.

“He and link also run a mediocre company” 😂😂😂😂

[@watermyplants6089]

Lmao

[@Myth_Box]

She never said "mediocre" 😅 She just kinda stuttered when she said "media"

[@justingreen2432]

His humor works because he says things like "My wife is probably watching this, she LOOKS GREAT IN THE MORNING." Anyone who has had a relationship whether your a couple of teenagers or a old married couple you understand that need to always love on and bolster up your partner. (And to avoid their wrath, of course) 😅 We are all human and that's what Rhetts humor does (and the other guy too)❤❤❤

[@nelateulon7446]

The other guy HAHAHAHAHAH poor linky poo

[@chrismofer]

A lot of people first heard of Rhett and Link from "Good Mythical morning", but before that they had a prototype of that show called "Good Morning Chia Lincoln" and before that they did have lots of great videos including music videos. they compiled their early songs into an album called "up to this point".

[@kat_kuk_]

Love this speech :) Would loved to have heard it for my own graduation!

[@katelynb2913]

When you watch so much Rhett and Link that this gets recommended to you 😅😂

[@chillarypuff]

This was SUCH a great speech

[@Zecm2]

The way he delivers this is very preachery it’s quite comical. I like how he and link remained themselves for these talks.

[@elizabethb1096]

Lol what a great example of someone using their engineering degree

[@johna5563]

“Welcome home Rhett!”… and Link walks out…

[@heathers.9740]

Great speech!

[@Kalaninuimehameha]

Tough crowd, bro is hilarious.

[@samuelblake9791]

I think the crowd just sounds quiet bc they have no mic

[@zetikagaming]

@@KonaWolfe thats exactly how that works. all the audio is coming from the microphone, which isnt picking up the students because they aren't the ones speaking into it

[@Dom-ix2gh]

@@zetikagaming i hate when people fucking talk bro lol. like how else are we hearing the audience

[@TheZgamer100]

​@@KonaWolfeliterally is. Proof? I was there.

[@KLienne]

@@KonaWolfe it is how that works. The microphone was hardly even sensitive enough to make the speaker who is holding the microphone just inches away completely audible.

he and link used to be missionaries im pretty sure

[@imemily55555]

I wonder how nervous Rhett was making this speech vs talking on gmm.

I hope that the people in the room for this speech come back to this video in 10 years

[@mr_h831]

I did not go to college, but I do occasionally watch rhett and link so I'm here. He posed an interesting question. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? For me, probably dead not gonna lie. The world is falling apart around us at a rapid rate and I'm not sure there's any fixing it without some seriously major casualties across the board. But, assuming I don't die, and everything goes well, I'll have written and published a book, and I'll be working a steady job, likely in retail because.... Well I didn't go to college so. XD I may or may not be with my parents I haven't a clue. The truth is my life isn't all that interesting and probably never will be. In fact it's been pretty depressing for a good amount of time now, entirely my fault but I can't exactly fix that now. Not all of us can be as interesting and entertaining as Rhett and link. I am not one of those people who can be. Which does bother me, because I always want to do more, but never seem to know how or where to begin. I'm uncertain I have a calling, something specific to do in this life, but I do know that I'm not that bad at writing, not that good either but not bad. And not bad is a step in the right direction, I hope. I'm never very sure of much of anything I do. Anyway that's my 12 AM thoughts for ya. Lol Enjoy the chaos that is my mind. :P

[@toastykins306]

I believe in you. You can do it.

I feel like she was the valedictorian I also thought I saw her roll her eyes when he started and said that "adults don't know what they are doing" she is like "I AM AN ADULT AND KNOW WHAT I AM DOING" with her face. Its okay in 5 years or so she will start to get it.

[@TimmyMarvelousMechanical]

Huge bummer speech 😂

[@maxi-g]

the way he holds the mic and has been in the entertainment industry for so long baffles me and makes me wonder….

[@Goofyrandomdude]

Wym? What's wrong with it? If you feel he should have left it attached to the podium, it's because he's too tall and it would make it difficult to talk

[@maxi-g]

@@Goofyrandomdude it‘s sooo far away from his mouth, usually you almost touch it with your lips

[@TheBigDean18]

He’s using proper technique for live speaking, less boom and less plosives.

[@TheBigDean18]

You don’t want the mic right next to your mouth.

[@bmpk7473]

lmao what is wrong with you, not only specifically the type of microphone they're using, as well as in the setting he is, that's literally the way you're supposed to hold the microphone he was actually extremely consistent with it too, so everything you said is from a place of literally nothing, trying to use it to make a weird statement... Not even subtle.

[@xLilxth]

Why does nobody laugh 😭 do people lose a sense of humor when they go to college?!

[@MsBAMTASTIC]

Wtf is he even talking about? He is all over the place

[@TriggyGMT]

His talk was from the place of a guy who had already made it in this world from a successful 'youtuber' standpoint with his own celebrity status and his rise to fame being one half of a entertainment performing duo. His aura was that of a man who got the attention of the whole graduation ceremony when he took the mic from the holding position it was placed in and let his voice carry around the room on and off the stage. Kind of got the feeling too he would rather not be up on the podium and his remarks at the end were quite at odds of the high praise that students would expect to hear as in graduation cermonies such as this it usually centres on achievement and opportunities that arise when you worked up on your degree and hoped it would amount to a bigger cause afterwards. Think he went off on a different tangent at that point.

[@CharlieChinchillaTV]

who let rhett dress himaelf.

[@MsBAMTASTIC]

Right, he looks horrible

[@DzekoVelez]

rhett out here terrifying them instead of inspiring lmfao this speech was pretty bad

[@alexisspicer3797]

Yeah how dare he be realistic about the world. He should lie to them and tell them everything is gonna be great like everyone else

[@DzekoVelez]

@@alexisspicer3797 i mean...it's what you're supposed to do at a commencement. you don't tell people at their GRADUATION that they just wasted 4 years of their life getting an engineering degree because it's going to be useless in a couple years due to AI. Stop sucking up to rhett, it was a horrible speech for the occasion.

[@alexisspicer3797]

@DzekoVelez literally isn't what he did. It's very clear you have very poor comprehension. He said that AI is a wild card, but that we'll always need human engineers. His point was to illustrate that even though everything might not go as planned, you can still be happy and successful and use your degree in so many different ways (like he did). You'd rather him say "Wow, you got a degree! Now everything is always gonna be great forever, and your life is perfect, and no complications will come up!". You're literally just mad because he didn't do what 95% of commencement speakers do and phone it in.

[@DzekoVelez]

@@alexisspicer3797 you're a moran.

[@Just_Cameron]

@@alexisspicer3797 You can't lie though, it was a mostly pessimistic speech. I'm sure anyone there with doubts of their future only had their doubts increased but hey, who knows.
