True. And like it was said, nobody will complain if she helps them both, I never complain regardless, but I guess some people don't like "favouritism" lol
I was around 50 years ago and was like 4 and my Dad worked for Bell. He made 35 dollars a week. Family of 4. Never missed a meal. Wow he really was a great provider!
@@leafiiloran There are federal and state minimums, some states simply follow the federally set minimum wage while others go above it. Was the same back then... that isn't saying that everyone followed the rules, same as today there are those who will try whatever they can to take advantage of people in desperate situations, or who don't know better.
It's scary how the regular cheese burger was roughly 89 cents in the 80s and I remember paying 89 cents as well in the 90s. Now we can't go a year with same prices 😅
I really liked this one. I love it when they actually have to use logic to come up with their answers, because Rhett always tries his hardest to give a very thoughtful decision, and the Link just kind of wings it.
Can you please do “Trying every Buldak noodle flavor” I feel like that video would go viral since those noodles are so popular right now, thank you love you!!!💕💕⭐️
“Just remember 8.6” 15:33 ends up at 18.6 but he looks like he actually was trying so hard. No but same I completely forgot right when Rhett started calculating😅
The issue with Rhett using the inflation rate not only is the general inflation rate wont necessarily be the same for all products but the fact that the sizes are not necessarily the same as they are currently so the price in the 70s would reflect a larger size
Sometimes I think about the fast food chains around the studio and if they are used to occasionally getting orders like 50 tacos, or two of every single variety of donut at this point.
They claim inflation was only 12% in the last year, but our local food prices all went up between 50% and 100% depending on the item. I used to get a whole chicken at the grocery store for $6 last year, now it's $12. Pudding mixes that were $1 last year are $1.50 and so on. Milk was $4 a gallon last year, now it's $6. Nothing only went up 12%. Even the hardware store has been doubling its prices on just about everything.
Not really, salaries basically matched inflation over this time. Since the 1970s, Real (inflation adjusted) median salaries never deviated my more than 10%.
There was crazy inflation in the 70s and early 80s, like more than last year for 10 years in a row. If you didn't know that, you wouldn't do well in this game. In fact, the 30-year US treasury bond reached almost 15% interest in 1982, which is crazy, that's 15% annual interest for 30 years completely risk-free.
The fact that the original KFC bucket combo came with chicken, rolls, and gravy is wild… no mashed potatoes. Were people just dunking their fried chicken in the gravy or something?
13:00 Actually most people including the official release misquoted him. It was "One small step for A man, one giant leap for mankind." Even the museum accepts it as without the "a" in it claiming regardless of his intention he didn't actually say it, whilst Armstrong insisted he did say the "a" it just wasn't picked up by the radio.
Importantly, when I was 16 in 2003, Kroger receipts had a coupon on the back that offered 2 Big n Tasty burgers for $1. And it was the best summer of my life...
Okay I was taken back when Link said "Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing" instead "thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell". Kicking it old skool (just a little bit)!!!
I do love how Rhett tries to come up with a guess and Link just tries to “feel it”

Rhett's calculating montage was fire!
I was thinking this episode would be perfect if it had one of those a few shots before that, then *BAM* it, came to be!
Underrated. I watched it like 3 times lmao
And then Link just goes, eh, I'm taking this many.
Ur fire
Did you get burnt?
Did anyone else find it kind of cute when Rhett deferred completely to Link on his Beatle's knowledge? Like no hesitation just trust.
Link definitely love music more than Rhett does
Link looked so proud 🤣

Same lol. Them dancing is adorable ☺️
Chase is the cutest member of the mythical crew
Yea lol 😆
I treasure Bailiff Chase!
The fact that the chicken bucket went from 3.75 to 50 bucks is just crazy

Love Link saying he's not a math guy and constantly struggling when he was quite literally going to be an engineer
And I think he had better grades than Rhett
if you don't use it, you lose it
He was top in his class.
I knooow, I keep wondering how did he ever graduate lmao
as an engineering student, if you dont keep using the stuff you learn, you'll pretty much lose almost all of it. so, i dont blame him much
I always prefer episodes where Rhett and Link work together instead of against each other 😊

Exactly the same problem with college tuition, well and everything else.
maybe in california. When you account for their increased taxes and rent I would say its right on target. In texas the bucket is $33

Link having to chant 8.6 over and over is so relatable 😂 I'm useless with numbers.
I love that both Link and Chase did that 😂
I was dying when he told Link to remember it and then realised his mistake and immediately switched to Chase "as he forgets things" 😂
I'm teaching division to my class right now. Totally going to use these as some 'real world' problems. Thanks GMM for making my morning!
Alternate titles for this game: (a) How depressing is your age? (b) How depressing is inflation?
I absolutely love this new game so much!! I hope they make it a regular game, like will-it and where in the world!
Rhett doing math about the burger prices while link sits there and nods his head is hilarious lol
Link would absolutely be me. I can't do mental math, so I just wait until someone else comes up with the answer, lol.
I love watching GMM every morning, it always makes my day a little better.
Stevie is allowed to do what she wants. She's like the heart of GMM, at least from our prospective.
True. And like it was said, nobody will complain if she helps them both, I never complain regardless, but I guess some people don't like "favouritism" lol

When the whopper was $1 I used to make $5.5 and hour!
For real
I love waking up to watch and then falling right back asleep when it’s over
I’m guessing Frosties switched from real ice cream to whatever they use now. Would explain why it was relatively more expensive in the 60s.
As of former employee of Wendy's, I can attest to the fact that Frostys are 100% dairy free.

Lol, that blank stare from Link while Rhett was running through the numbers was priceless.

Nearly a 10X increase in prices. Wages went up maybe 5x. Welcome to America. Ceo / executive pay went up nearly 100x by the way

Another great episode to start my morning but let's be honest here.. those price inflations hurt alot.
Link: Has an engineering degree
Also Link: "I can tell by how fast it went down"
That's a physics/engineering principle!
🤣 Rhett's math sequence was fantastic... He's a engineer.
Next episode: "How much did Executives make 50 years ago?" lol
as an economics major studying for finals right now, this episode of gmm was extremely entertaining lol
KFC is not worth 49.99 today, thats outrageous
Pizza Hut isn't far behind in price.
The dances at 12:00 made my morning ☀️🕺🏼
Link may not be able to do mental math but he can sure rock a pair of bell bottoms.
*This was a great way to tell us that our bank accounts are screwed*
Chases dancing at 12:00 made me happy, made me smile😂😂
My job is to calculate inflation and watching this in the morning just feels like I'm starting work earlier....
Can’t sleep because I have surgery in the morning. I’ve been waiting for this post
Rhett's Hangover-esque calculations were top notch.
The math isn't mathing but Link's Bellbottoms sure are Bellbottoming hard
He looks especially 70s today!!
rhett already gave me whiplash with that dancing comment 💀 good mythical morning, everyone
This was a fun episode and a fascinating game, hope it comes back in the future
I love their moods recently. Link not caring about much and just being funny, except I got mad when he put 12 frosties on
Im not a regular watcher these days but its always nice to watch gmm when I do watch
“i’m the feel guy” is my new life quote

idk why i stopped watching you guys are still very entertaining (& my longest subscription) you even have great merch :) its ok tho now i can binge
Props to the editor(s) for the visuals during that Wendy's segment!
This was such a fun game!! Would love to see a part 2

I like that Link just gives up with the math, letting Rhett do it and just goes with his gut instead.

Link knew Sgt Pepper's released in early 1967! He was right on it 👏
