Rhett’s Father-Son Cross-Country Road Trip

[@amitheoneforu]

Who’s cutting onions in here? My parents and I didn’t have a great relationship, so hearing stories like this makes me want to strive even harder to give my 4 year old boy the fatherly relationship I never got to have. Thanks for this story Rhett.

You guys need to fulfill Rhetts dream and do a major paranormal road trip and document the whole thing. It would be amazing!!

It also helps if your kid looks a decade older than they are lol

[@cooch5096]

I never really did anything fun with my dad and this video just made me sad, but I hope someday I can do something like this with my kids.

[@mrdaym]

In my experience, parents work hard to give their children experiences they never had. You'll do great.

[@YOLOMCM1324]

I've always wanted to do this with my dad, but I don't necessarily have the best relationship with him..kinda feel the same way when Link was talking about teaching his kids how to drive a stick.

[@lenorajones7646]

If you have siblings take a road trip with them. Or be the fun uncle that takes the kids in trips

[@BruhBruh-do5cq]

Yeah my Dad recently passed away at 50, I’m only 23 and I never got to do this much with him. Hearing these stories makes me a little sad as well. I’ll be sure to do more with my own son

[@DivenComedy]

Being a dad of two young boys, 4 and 5, I appreciate Rhett and Link sharing their experiences raising their children and being vulnerable and even admitting how they could do better in some situations. Thanks guys 🖤

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

My goal as a dad is to road trip across America with all 3 of my kids separately. To let their own personalities determine the trip. Love this episode.

[@inthefort6003]

you're a cool dad - a teen

[@lamejane1016]

This is such a good idea!!

[@amandalewellen9281]

Lock reminds me of my older brother who passed in 2018. The way he carries himself. The natural skepticism. Down to the way he acted in the videos. I’m grateful y’all had this experience and I’m grateful that the world has a soul like his 💙

[@sachintommy2246]

I listened to this on Spotify but i needed to say, what Rhett was saying about most father's trying to make everything in to some kind of lesson or moral thing and how he's started letting his son take the lead in conversations is so good! My dad lives in a different country and i rarely get to see him, and now that I'm older I find that him letting me kind of speak makes me want to talk to him a lot more when i don't feel like every topic is going to become some sort of speech i have to sit through. Maybe it's just me being a son and thinking I know everything and not wanting to be lectured but it's really helped our relationship

[@scissorz]

the fact that rhett looks like he could be locke’s older brother is amazing haha

[@Tahmorrow]

"I DO MIND. THIS IS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PRIVATE RESIDENCE. AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE A PRIVATE RESIDENCE!'. Literally made me cry laughing! That lady is just waiting for a fight lmao.

Rhett and Link still look so young as dads.

[@Nannada1212]

My dad died unexpectedly about 4 years ago. I was lucky enough to go on a family vacation to Cancun, and we both overslept on a day we were supposed to go deep-sea fishing. I went out the back of the resort we were at and saw him standing, zoned out, just looking at the beach. We'd had a lot of issues over the years, and were kind of estranged at the time... I decided that there was never a better time to really just talk to him, man-to-man. We had a Cheeseburger in Paradise together and the most incredible time we'd ever shared. Thank you for reminding me of that time.

[@jyup5850]

So so blessed to be able to relate to taking a road trip with my awesome daddio. So much love to those of you who have trauma around your dad's. I can't imagine what you feel watching something like this.

if there's anyone about to watch this that could be so kind to timestamp the moments where Rhett shows pictures/video footage of the trip, I would be grateful to you forever!

Its kinda hard to process, but I have grown up with watching Rhett and Link and they have definitely made an impact on my life and my outlook on life....

And I also love the stories they tell and I love feeling like I have a chance at having these relationships on my own in the future. S/O to the mythical beasts who unfortunately understand

[@TheBigChad]

A cross country trip with a father and son should be something every father and son experiences. Just 2 dudes in the car. You talk about things you wouldn’t normally talk about. Life lessons, memories only you and your son will have. Laughs, cry’s, at times y’all will be pissed at each other and all of that is normal. It’s something you will hold onto for the rest of your life.

[@kbcole23]

I worked at Braum's in college. It is a regional chain originating in Oklahoma. All of their stores are required to be within a day's drive of headquarters, because they have their own dairy, and all of the dairy products in the retail section of the store are made from their milk. Excellent ice cream.
