I really don't think Link sees things as hierarchical in the same way others do, and doesn't quite grasp the implication of words like "real" in that context. So "work friends" doesn't feel like it's intended as the value judgement it's reasonably taken to be. He also definitely gets frustrated by his inability to express himself the way he wants to and I relate to that.
i'm the same way and this episode was a Hard watch, like i really don't think anyone was malicious but just misunderstanding after misunderstanding reminded me of So many moments i've had
@@yankis. He literally did not. He was deflating the costume for comedic effect, with zero intention of stabbing his employee. And Chase was not stabbed, either. Ya'll just need to leave for real.
Yeah. He met all of them through work except for Rhett. They don't hang outside of work. So that's work friends. In his work life. Rhett is his childhood friend. And he's their BOSS. Like fr what is wrong with people.
I feel for Link. Living in an environment where what you say is judged for specific words and not intent is really difficult and makes it a lot harder to express yourself. Sometimes for sure he says questionable things, but when it is continued to be harped on even after the meaning is clarified and his kind intent has been shown is rough. I also think it is cute he wanted people to know Rhett was an especial friend.
It’s ableist too! I’m watching being neurodivergent like oh so I’m the butt of the joke too? Because of semantics? It gets exhausting and like depressing to watch.
@@orang1921 it's probably a neurotypical vs neurodivergent comparison. Not a "hey look at me!! I'm not normal!" situation. To which, there is no comparison. because as you said and I agree with, there is no "normal" only useless man-made constructs of what man believes "normal" is. But there ARE disorders. Some like to use the umbrella term of neurodivergent instead of their diagnosis. So perhaps that is what they were referring to when commenting about being neurodivergent.
@@lauren1024 How the heck is it ableist? I've got mental disorders and other things, but I knew exactly what he was trying to say because like Link I have a special connection to certain people and things. It's hard to describe how it feels to us, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I feel so bad for Link because I'm the same way. He seems like he can be so socially awkward and is trying to fit in and it's totally backfiring when it's making sense in his head. And when he's trying to explain it, he's just digging himself deeper
It’s effective for them to capitalize on having confronting Link moments and also the let’s make fun of Link moments. Honestly for me it just brings down the vibe.
I understand where Link is coming from. I worked with a guy for over 10 years. He was like a brother to me. I quit that job... on good terms...we haven't spoken since
For all of us loyal watchers of Good Mythical Morning and Good Mythical MORE, we are already accustomed to Link verbalizing his thoughts that sometimes get lost in translation. I knew what you were trying to say, Link. You're Still Good! 🥰
These episodes were rough today…I could feel the awkwardness through the screen. I get that Link made a mistake last time, but it feels like the whole crew holds things against him - ESPECIALLY today
Agreed. If they don’t spend time with each other outside of work, they aren’t in the same category as “real friends.” It just wasn’t the best choice to use the word ‘real.’
same. him adding "Rhett's my real friend" might've been too much, but even then, if you take offense to your boss insinuating that YOU, their EMPLOYEE, isn't their "real friend"... that's on you.
i wish they wouldn't be so hard on Link about stuff like this, i know it's supposed to be funny but it just feels unfair when they kind of gang up on him and purposely misunderstand what he was trying to say. hope he had a better day after this ❤️❤️
I wish they would stop giving Link such a hard time. I understand when he literally almost stabbed Chase with a dart. But at this point it seems like he can't do anything right. It brings my mood down and makes me not want to finish watching it. You can see and feel Links energy shift.
Seriously people are overthinking it. They’re real friends who he made at work. Its like college friends or hobby friends. The man calls a restaurant a store ffs maybe he just explains things a little differently 🤣
Someone in the art department needs to make a big sign that says STOP LINK STOP like the sign they held up for Forrest Gump in the end zone. Every time he spirals all I can picture is Forrest Gump charging through the end of the stadium.
Honestly, Link has a point and the crew made this extremely awkward. At the end of the day, Rhett and Link are in charge of running this company and employing these folks. I get that GMM has a jovial atmosphere and jokes can be made, etc. but it doesn't matter how comfortable you are with your coworkers, you're still coworkers and in this case it's a boss, employee relationship which is even more strained by power dynamics. It makes sense that he would say his employees are his work friends, idk why they all took offense to it and then to rag on him about it after he's already apologized is wild. This was really uncomfortable to watch and made me feel bad for Link.
Fact. I think one of my least favourite things about gmm is that the staff actually don't appreciate how rhett and link started this and are incredibly kind to their employees.
Jeez, this is the most 'kick someone where they're down' episode. They're going to talk about how Link had to work through this in therapy on Ear Biscuits.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with work friends, some relationships can be awesome only when there's a common base to hold it together (like work). Even if it ends when that common ground is gone, that doesn't change it's value.
I don't think it matters or anything but i ALWAYS root for link, not only in these series but in any game/competition they do, im always at link's side, sorry rhett!! Link let's keep winning!! and being honest, please never change, there's people who get you ❤
I feel for link. I really don't think he ever has bad intentions. I think he always has good intentions and I don't think dart issue or the way he worded about the work friends vs real friends thing was him being intentionally negative or doing it on purpose. He tends to be a bit impulsive and unapologetically honest. So he make mistakes. No one should crucify him over the dart thing. And the friends thing is just semantics. We all know an understand what he really meant.
@@skyrimelitevids7419 How do you know that? Sometimes i'm surprised how many times he repeats that the team is the employees, however, there should be a reason for it.
Yeah real friends don’t treat their friends like this… I’ve had people act like this towards me and the only answer is to end the friendship. Unfortunately it’s a work environment and it’s more complicated than that but fortunately they’re all on his payroll and he could fire them lol
this is so weird to watch😭 no wonder link doesnt view the crew as actual friends when they treat him like this. how are you guys mad that he mentioned he would prefer to spend his birthday with people other than his coworkers, like that man has an actual family im sure he would’ve loved to be with.
Link - you are doing fine. I also say things that make sense in my brain, but that other people just cannot follow. Thankfully you are surrounded by people who love you and do try to understand you
Link is right. There is a difference between "workfriends" and " real friends". Everybody knows it, not everybody admits it honestly in front of "workfriends".
Also, I believe becoming close friends at work almost always backfires in some way. So being friendly and helpful but keeping some distance is normally a smart move regarding workplace relationships.
Damn why is everyone so hostile to Link. He seems to have positive intent behind what he says, but the others are like sharks, ripping into him for it. They might be joking, but Link doesn't look like he's laughing....W Rhett for changing the topic, that why he's the REAL friend
i really think Link is just a very honest person. and i kinda agree with the “work friends” thing because him and Rhett have literally been friends their whole lives basically and it’s actually professional to have “work” friends instead of your employees being your best buddies…. imo!!
Actual friends wouldn't put someone down like the crew did in this episode. Literally the most uncomfortable episode I've seen. Felt right bad for Link
No but honestly, jordan and the crew need to chill sometimes. I know there might be things behind the scenes we're obviously not seeing but theres a reason we think challenges and episodes favor rhett. Everybody always seems like theyre bagging on link and treating him poorly.
Maybe if you guys started treating Link as more of a friend than a punchline, he wouldn’t have to distinguish you from work friends and genuine friends lol. Friendships are earned and sometimes y’all act more so like bullies than friends ✌🏽
Facts. I dont think the crew realizes how hurtful they were this episode. They probably think theyre being funny but this was hard to watch. We've all accidentally said things in a way that wasnt intended. No reason to keep bringing it up and make link feel bad. They better change and start treating link better or theyre gonna lose some mythical fans ://
I 100% agree with Link on the "work friend" thing. He's not saying he doesn't like em...he's saying that without meeting at work...they wouldn't be friends since they wouldn't have met
@@thejjacksonthey aren’t real friends. They r only friends because they work together. Otherwise they would never have any interaction. Real friends are a part of your everyday life outside of work.
Hey GMM.Staff/Crew, How much do you socialize with your bosses outside of work related duties? Are you involved in their personal lives? There is a deep bond, trust, and unconditional love in a true friendship. Nothing inaccurate at all with Links assertion!! And based on some of their past remarks, i would say you are spot on. LOL You're the best Link!!
I'm getting to the point where I can't even watch some of these episodes. Link is such a team player taking loss after loss even when it isn't deserved and still shows up with a good attitude but it is really starting to feel like a toxic work environment. I feel so bad for Link...the next apology needs to be from the crew to him.
I completely agree… It’s becoming more and more uncomfortable to watch. Link is being bullied and I have thought this for a while and find it very upsetting for him ❤❤
@@skyrimelitevids7419 You clearly haven't watched most of the show or the live shows. Link and Rhett as well are amazing bosses that most everyone would be blessed to have. He tends to not think about what he says before saying it and doesn't think at all of the meaning behind his words. Meaning, his intentions behind his words tend to get lost in what he actually says. He's not self centered and cares for his employees. They both do. The oblivious person is you since it's so obvious you haven't watched much of them
I think the employees are forgetting who they are, Link is not wrong for saying that, in fact he is even generous for regarding them as work friends and not mere employees
I came to the comments genuinely upset but I'm glad to see all the mythical beasts defending Link. It's really not cool how they treat him. We need more crew members who understand him and see through Rhett.
I feel like Link didn’t put it across in the best way, but I think he meant to say the crew is friends he met at work and that they wouldn’t be friends if it weren’t for work?
I know Rhett understands exactly what Link was trying to say so why not back him up. Link is 100% right and "work friend" is not an insult, its reality
Right… like the more I watch GMM, the more I see that Rhett is NOT a good friend to Link. Because he never backs him up in situations against the crew/the EMPLOYEES.
@@ilovefood940 ego thing 100%. Subconsciously Rhett feels better when he sees Link being ganged up on so he allows it to happen under the guise of playful conversation
Lol if your boss you considered your friend called you a 'work friend' in front of your face at an event it would be awkward. The word is just 'friend', he can classify them as work friends in his mind all he likes. There's no need to tell them to their face thats what they are and Rhett is somehow better (he's also a colleague, technically, btw).
Granted, Link did dig himself a deeeep hole here. But with the tone and direction of the convo I would say, for just this episode, it does seem like Jordan might not like Link. Just a little...
Link getting verbally beat up like that is wild. He's just being honest. The work friend vs real friend thing makes perfect sense. He's known Rhett forever and wouldn't have known these other people if it wasn't for work.
Yeah, but you don’t have to say it in front of those people in a hurtful way, and you definitely don’t double down once you’ve been told you’re hurting peoples feelings.
People think Jordan doesn't like Link because she belittles him quite a bit & Rhett always somehow guilts Jordan into winning. It's pretty clear to a lot of people I think. 👀
There wouldn’t be GMM without Link, so maybe the crew should appreciate the jobs they have because of Rhett AND Link?? This is suppose to be a fun happy show and everyone made it miserable because Link made a mistake. How would they feel if one of their big mistakes was displayed on the internet for all to see?
Kinda dont see the issue with what Link said. Maybe he shouldnt have said it in front of them, thats debatable, but first and foremost they are his employees. Its not popular, but you shouldnt be best friends with people who work under you. Its great to be the cool boss but you need that line between employers and employees. We like to think this is just a small group of friends, screwing around and posting videos in their free time, but this is a whole company with multiple divisions and people who depend on Rhett and Link to live. Plus, from both sides it makes it really awkward when you have to let someone go 🤷♂️
I love all of these guys so much and I get that its for entertainment purposes but I can't help but feel a lil sad for Link and his misunderstandings since I see so much of myself in him
EXACTLY!! He said he already apologized! Why bring it up again?! I'm so over them bullying him. I've been loyal to this show for 10+ years but I'm thinking about taking a break.
@@Astral.Artistrynot the time he threw the dart and almost hit chase, but the time he stabbed chase’s costume repeatedly and almost stabbed the man in the costume.
Nah, after years of watching GMM every day I think I'm done. I relate so much to Link, his thought process is exactly mine. People seem to treat him the way my family treats me, and I am no contact with them for a reason. There have been a few episodes that gave me the ick for this, but good lord this one was the hardest to watch.
if y'all don't apologise to link for ganging up on him without actually tryna understand him imma stop watching gmm. such a disappoinment after being a daily watcher for over a decade and to see u guys still misunderstand him and hyperfocus on what he says rather than his intent
Cut a slack with Link. He is a little dorky and tries his best to entertain. The crew shouldn't make their bias this visible, after all this time they should know Link can mess up his words badly sometimes, even if that is not his intent, and does always apologize. Always ganging up on him for content is not cool. Don't loose moral Link, many do understand you.

Agreed. If they don’t spend time with each other outside of work, they aren’t in the same category as “real friends.” It just wasn’t the best choice to use the word ‘real.’
I think it just boils down to how subjective the definition of a friend really is, honestly.

it's more about unnecessarily letting people know you don't really like them

Kind of ironic right?
Maybe if you guys started treating Link as more of a friend than a punchline, he wouldn’t have to distinguish you from work friends and genuine friends lol. Friendships are earned and sometimes y’all act more so like bullies than friends ✌🏽
Facts. I dont think the crew realizes how hurtful they were this episode. They probably think theyre being funny but this was hard to watch. We've all accidentally said things in a way that wasnt intended. No reason to keep bringing it up and make link feel bad. They better change and start treating link better or theyre gonna lose some mythical fans ://
The constantly picking on Link is getting old.
I 100% agree with Link on the "work friend" thing. He's not saying he doesn't like em...he's saying that without meeting at work...they wouldn't be friends since they wouldn't have met
Except that he prefaced it with “you’re not my real friends“
Exactly. I don’t hang outside of work with my work friends. It’s called having boundaries.
@@thejjacksonthey aren’t real friends. They r only friends because they work together. Otherwise they would never have any interaction. Real friends are a part of your everyday life outside of work.
@@thejjackson I think "real" was a confusing/weird word choice but I agree with @KimbaLoveAdams explanation.
@@KimbaLoveAdamsRhett and link hang outside of work on a weekly basis and they work together
Link looks so sad it breaks my heart 😭
Hey GMM.Staff/Crew, How much do you socialize with your bosses outside of work related duties? Are you involved in their personal lives? There is a deep bond, trust, and unconditional love in a true friendship. Nothing inaccurate at all with Links assertion!! And based on some of their past remarks, i would say you are spot on. LOL You're the best Link!!
I'm getting to the point where I can't even watch some of these episodes. Link is such a team player taking loss after loss even when it isn't deserved and still shows up with a good attitude but it is really starting to feel like a toxic work environment. I feel so bad for Link...the next apology needs to be from the crew to him.
Ugh. I feel the exact same way. Definitely deserves better.
I completely agree… It’s becoming more and more uncomfortable to watch. Link is being bullied and I have thought this for a while and find it very upsetting for him ❤❤
I don’t appreciate how Link was treated in this episode tbh
same was truly uncomfortable
So
I don’t appreciate how he treats everyone else on a daily basis. It’s not charming, he’s oblivious and self centered.
@@skyrimelitevids7419 You clearly haven't watched most of the show or the live shows. Link and Rhett as well are amazing bosses that most everyone would be blessed to have. He tends to not think about what he says before saying it and doesn't think at all of the meaning behind his words. Meaning, his intentions behind his words tend to get lost in what he actually says. He's not self centered and cares for his employees. They both do. The oblivious person is you since it's so obvious you haven't watched much of them
@@skyrimelitevids7419for real? What are you talking about
I think the employees are forgetting who they are, Link is not wrong for saying that, in fact he is even generous for regarding them as work friends and not mere employees
I came to the comments genuinely upset but I'm glad to see all the mythical beasts defending Link. It's really not cool how they treat him. We need more crew members who understand him and see through Rhett.
I feel like Link didn’t put it across in the best way, but I think he meant to say the crew is friends he met at work and that they wouldn’t be friends if it weren’t for work?
Yeah I felt it was kind of like this is my favorite and this is my other favorite.
I know Rhett understands exactly what Link was trying to say so why not back him up. Link is 100% right and "work friend" is not an insult, its reality
I think Rhett spends a lot of time trying to be the favorite amongst the crew
Right… like the more I watch GMM, the more I see that Rhett is NOT a good friend to Link. Because he never backs him up in situations against the crew/the EMPLOYEES.
@@ilovefood940 ego thing 100%. Subconsciously Rhett feels better when he sees Link being ganged up on so he allows it to happen under the guise of playful conversation
Lol if your boss you considered your friend called you a 'work friend' in front of your face at an event it would be awkward. The word is just 'friend', he can classify them as work friends in his mind all he likes. There's no need to tell them to their face thats what they are and Rhett is somehow better (he's also a colleague, technically, btw).
link is my favourite, I relate to him often
We love you link, keep being you
Jordan could call your whole life a failure and follow it with “but just a thought”
Link’s “Thats not the vibe today” is honestly so relatable
Link old school, says what he wants. That's why he is unique the most important for this show to be funny.
Granted, Link did dig himself a deeeep hole here. But with the tone and direction of the convo I would say, for just this episode, it does seem like Jordan might not like Link. Just a little...
The look on Jordan’s face while she was putting the sauce on Links finger was priceless. I love these more episodes.
I’m with link on the friend thing! He’s just being specific! Cut the man a break🤣😭
Link getting verbally beat up like that is wild. He's just being honest. The work friend vs real friend thing makes perfect sense. He's known Rhett forever and wouldn't have known these other people if it wasn't for work.
Yeah, but you don’t have to say it in front of those people in a hurtful way, and you definitely don’t double down once you’ve been told you’re hurting peoples feelings.
I think that's it. Link isn't wrong, but he sometimes vocalized thoughts that everyone kinda knows...but are better left unsaid.
Right? He was making the cow it's food and was being harassed the whole time!
imagine being the boss and a whale makes you come make it food like it needs more, on your birthday.
People think Jordan doesn't like Link because she belittles him quite a bit & Rhett always somehow guilts Jordan into winning. It's pretty clear to a lot of people I think. 👀
Have been a fan/watcher/viewer for over a decade, but the crew gave me the BIGGEST ICK
Aw i feel bad for Link😭
I find Jordan condescending.
There wouldn’t be GMM without Link, so maybe the crew should appreciate the jobs they have because of Rhett AND Link?? This is suppose to be a fun happy show and everyone made it miserable because Link made a mistake. How would they feel if one of their big mistakes was displayed on the internet for all to see?
Link literally digging himself in a hole with the sour cream-😂
Kinda dont see the issue with what Link said. Maybe he shouldnt have said it in front of them, thats debatable, but first and foremost they are his employees. Its not popular, but you shouldnt be best friends with people who work under you. Its great to be the cool boss but you need that line between employers and employees. We like to think this is just a small group of friends, screwing around and posting videos in their free time, but this is a whole company with multiple divisions and people who depend on Rhett and Link to live. Plus, from both sides it makes it really awkward when you have to let someone go 🤷♂️
Completely agree.
Link needs a hug ):
He looked sooo defeated at the end of this (even though he won 😅)
@carolinaflordarosa6905 Because they spent the whole show trashing him, the win felt like it was a " pity prize."
Chase nearly needed stiches.
@@carolinaflordarosa6905He rarely wins too and they couldn't even let him have this one.
After this episode and the main one I can see why they are only work friends to Link. Felt bad for the guy watching this.
I love all of these guys so much and I get that its for entertainment purposes but I can't help but feel a lil sad for Link and his misunderstandings since I see so much of myself in him
I’m so over them ganging up on Link on the episodes. Talk to him privately if it matters that much.
EXACTLY!! He said he already apologized! Why bring it up again?! I'm so over them bullying him. I've been loyal to this show for 10+ years but I'm thinking about taking a break.
They need to go easy on Link….he already ate crow apologizing for his dart incident
What incident?
@@Astral.Artistry the one when he almost got Chase with a dart
@@karenboden587 lol YES of course
@@Astral.Artistrynot the time he threw the dart and almost hit chase, but the time he stabbed chase’s costume repeatedly and almost stabbed the man in the costume.
took a bit, but its happened. Im over Jordan.
Join the club bro
Link my guy, he’s one of those friends where you just kinda have to understand where he is coming from after just being around him for awhile lololol
I love link and idk how anyone can actually be upset for anything that he says or does 😂😂
I'm with Link on the work friends. Much love, Link!
The uncomfortable laugh Rhett does after Jordan says “Sorry, I gave you the work friend amount” 😂😂
Has anyone noticed how Jordan is evil 😅😂
Nah, after years of watching GMM every day I think I'm done. I relate so much to Link, his thought process is exactly mine. People seem to treat him the way my family treats me, and I am no contact with them for a reason. There have been a few episodes that gave me the ick for this, but good lord this one was the hardest to watch.
if y'all don't apologise to link for ganging up on him without actually tryna understand him imma stop watching gmm. such a disappoinment after being a daily watcher for over a decade and to see u guys still misunderstand him and hyperfocus on what he says rather than his intent
Link, you won! 🎉 Believe in yourself. You’ve got this.
I totally understand what Link was TRYING to say, but it's too hilarious watching him continue to dig himself into a hole.
Cut a slack with Link. He is a little dorky and tries his best to entertain. The crew shouldn't make their bias this visible, after all this time they should know Link can mess up his words badly sometimes, even if that is not his intent, and does always apologize. Always ganging up on him for content is not cool. Don't loose moral Link, many do understand you.
21:20 rhett being rhett, hogging down all that food even if it too big
At this point I’ll be surprised if link even wants to keep going with gmm and all is employees
He has full authority to replace them.
I really loved the energy in the beginning! Especially when they mentioned Maine.
Afterwards, it was kind of hard to watch 💀still super entertaining 😂
Is Link reading these comments? I'd love a reaction video to that 😂
Well i certainly hope his ‘work friends’ are. I feel like they should read all this more than him. 😅
Link is my spirit animal.
sadly i could feel links anxiety:( 15:01
