That's such a cool moment that Link can relive his teenage years through his kids by teaching them to drive stick in the same truck he drove at 16. A lot of people don't get special moments like that.
Link saying "give me a key to your house" as a defining meaning of their friendship is peak goals lmaooooo my parents don't even have a key to the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mom and I have COVID currently. We are not doing well. She got it from my sister’s fiancé, and he was almost violently ill. All of us are fully vaccinated and boosted. I am glad you were doing well with it (potentially), Rhett, but most people I know who have gotten it have had awful symptoms. For those reading this, please do not try to just “get it over with”. It’s not been fun.
First, I hope you and your family get better soon! My entire family from my wife's side got it (new years gathering), thankfully mild symptoms, even the elders. Hope it goes well with yours. Second, you are right. Mild symptoms are not a given, we can only hope. Yet I think I feel the same as Rhett. If most of us will eventually get omicron, I just want to get it already and be over with it, (this is not to say I'm gonna go unmasked and licking people lol). Even though you can get it again and again, it kinda gives you some peace of mind for a while. We just need to keep being cautious and do our best to stay safe.
I'm sending some belated well wishes your way. We say 'Go' Bedring'... Get better, please. I live in a country with universal healthcare. I can't imagine anything else.
I too had never seen “It’s a wonderful life” until this past Christmas. All I can say is WOW!! I was so surprised!! I was crying and yelling at the tv. I was so invested in the characters!!! It is now one of my top favorite movies!! And yes “Casablanca” is a great one too! I love “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. The classics are the best by far!!
This was the second time in a month I heard someone say To Kill a Mockingbird was another good Jimmy Stewart movie. Obviously those people need to rewatch Mockingbird!
@@DOfunnygirl That whole thing filtered down and I could see where they were going and I was forgiving that, BUT, He also said 'In one fail swoop' when the quote is actually 'One fell swoop.' *Shakespeare nerd Less forgivable.
I used to be a beer delivery driver for a brewery in holly springs and it is so trippy to hear these two creators who I have been supporting since they lived in fuquay to reminisce about their old haunts, and have a personal connection with the places we’ve shared. One of the best ear biscuits I have heard in a long time! And yea, traffic all around the triangle is getting bad.
Love your gift Link it’s very poignant. I don’t leave home since the plague, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. My son is a taxi driver and has worked all through this and never came close. In comes this new OMICROM and on the 4th of January myself my husband and my son tested positive. This was also my dad and grandad’s anniversary I had to go to the cemetery myself and not with my sisters. If this is as bad as it gets I’ll take it. I’ve had 7 family members with it in the beginning of December 6 of them grandkids. Stay safe out there it’s madness. X
My husband and I started watching movies with Danny Kaye and, honestly, you can’t and don’t replicate the charisma of these movies in the present times. Highly recommend watching these! Sending love ❤️
"It's a Wonderful Life" is my dad's favorite Christmas movie. For those who want it quick and skinny, Rugrats did a great parody Christmas episode where Chuckie wishes he never existed (mild spoilers).
Suprised nobody's noticed you. Wanted to say that I'm a by ear piano player and do not know how to read music. Your videos helped me be more comfortable with the piano and now i can improv with almost every scale. Thank you and keep it up
RIP Link’s 1987 red Nissan pickup! What a way to go out! If you have no idea what I’m referring to, mosey on over to their bbWonderhole video of life size gummy replicas of themselves.
Wait, do we finally get to learn what Jessie got Rhett for Christmas?? I've been wondering for over a month, since he brought up in that Ear Biscuit episode that she apparently has the perfect gift for him!
Another Jimmy Stuart film recommendation is Mr. Smith goes to Washington... AMAZING! I love classic films so much. Always watching TCM when I get the tv to myself ❤
My first truck was a dark red 97 Chevy S10 and it warms my heart that you know what its like to have a mini-truck own your whole heart. Thanks for sharing this story
Thanks for bringing the highlight of my weekend. The past week has been rough as I'm grieving the loss of a close family member who died of COVID, and I'm working overtime at my job in the hospital. Two guys talking about the highlights of their holidays brings me joy
I got my driver's license in 2014. My first truck was a 1985 Ram 50 and it was stock. This brings me so much joy. I love the mini trucks. Husband had a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. Old is better
A few years ago it became clear to me that I was going to move to Europe within five years (which I did in October of 2021). I decided that I should learn to drive stick so that I wouldn’t have to buy an automatic over here. I asked a colleague at work who is German. She was telling me how to do it in German (which I speak fluently, but one must remember, I barely know the words for stick shifts in English because I’ve never driven one). Well she was telling me all of it in German and where we were, starting off I was trying to go up hill. It was not a successful first lesson. 😂
i fully appreciate the enjoyment Link's experiencing from reuniting with this truck. Im sure my first cars no longer on the road, but if it was , id buy it up in a heartbeat. If i had the means, id buy a similar model and rebuild it. First cars are special because they are our first means of independence as teenagers. Freedom on 4 wheels.
Loved seeing these videos from back home in your truck! Now teaching your own kids stick IN YOUR TRUCK you had at 16!! WOW Incredible! SO much fun! Wish y'all could go back to North Carolina more often! I love the country, as I was raised in Manitoba. Similar country side and childhood, so seeing you guys back in that environment makes me happy :)
I taught one of my coworkers how to drive manual and I made sure she knew what was actually happening with the clutch and everything. Took it really slow with explaining the friction zone and all. She got it really easy and said I was the best teacher. Also she only has one hand. It was scary cuz we worked at Porsche and a clutch a super expensive obviously.
I listened on spotify and couldn't wait to see the video. So fantastic to share those memories! Also Jimmy Stewart is brilliant in Hitch's Rear Window.
I have been waiting for this video all week after listening the podcast las week! It is the best gift ever indeed, so nice to be able to teach your kids same as you were thought. I have been a proud Nissan employee for 10 years and now I feel a little more to know the cars we build, can be so meaningful to someone and not to mention that the truck aged so we’ll 🥰
I'm offended as well. It's a Wonderful Life was watched every Christmas in my home. You are hurting my heart with all of the old movies you are missing!
Thank you for a great suggestion. I am 65 and have not seen a lot of the classic movies. I am going to research and watch them this year. My dad would be proud!
Amazing time with you two. Lotta awesome memories. It's a wonderful life is top tier. Learning stick is a great challenge to conquer and as a Holly Springs resident for 10 years... Yeah the traffic throughout apex, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, and Holly springs has become somewhat debilitating.
My highschool truck I got a used 1995 f-150, for context me, my Girlfriend at the time and Bestfriend at the time were in a bench seat, me and the girlfriend (we were arguing about something stupid) as we were arguing my bestfriend was trying to interrupt us… My passenger window was slowly sliding down, it got off its gear and we had to drive in the middle of winter, angry with the window down 🤣 That old truck holds the most memories from my highschool days and would love to get one back. I had no AC, the starter I had to hit with a tire iron to get going, my starter relay went out had to start it with a screw driver Some of the best times for sure😂
I could not love this more! Exactly how I learned to drive! My 15 yr old daughter and I were just having a conversation about how I needed to teach her to drive a standard. She said there was no need to know how and I told her there was a reason, because I wanted to teach her. Not sure how I will find a way, but I will figure it out. Love this and love ya'll!
Are there any other southerners in the chat who find great comfort in them reminiscing on some of their NC favorites? some of the only youtubers I know that have southern connections
I had Covid back in April and I thought I was having an allergy attack, I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. Now we’re finding Covid everywhere. My niece went to Mexico with her boyfriend and 26 other people (his family) 3 tested positive before they left Mexico, niece tested positive once she returned home. And it took her over a week to test negative
It’s a wonderful life is a great movie, but when you’ve watched it as many times as my family and I have it becomes a comedy, which makes it even better
Its a wonderful life is a great movie. The story really is compelling. It makes you reflect on your own life and decisions you've made in it. What the people in your life would honestly do if you were to just die. Would they not care at all? It just makes you really think about If you've been a good person to everyone around you, and If you've impacted their lives in any way.
My family partially lives in NC and my parents have moved to Emerald Isle and we have always hit up bojangles and Smithfield’s, even the brunswick stew!
I watched It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street for the first time this Christmas and they're both really good movies. I typically don't like to sit through movies but these two were really good
It's a wonderful life is my fave Christmas movie, and I finally got round to watching Casablanca in full (having seen parts) over this Christmas and I LOVED it. I think you will too Rhett! What with Links truck and Rhetts unexpected cross country trip and all the local back home talk this was such a wholesome ep :,)
people hated its a wonderful life so much when it came out that movie theatres sold tickets for it at an extremely low price so people would come to see snd they could make a little money. Tv stations started airing it shortly after.
Link is definitely hurt that Rhett changed his locks and didn’t give him a key or tell him about it. Also sad they didn’t even say merry Christmas to each other .
i've done that cross-country road trip with my mom, i think when i was around locke's age - 17 or 18? it really is fun, provided you get along well with your parent of course lol
i got all the common covid symptoms and had multiple rapid tests come up negative and even a negative pcr. then when i felt as though my symptoms were improving, i got a positive rapid test as well as a positive pcr after 6 days of already having symptoms. covid is so weird and i can't wait until we get over this hump.
That's such a cool moment that Link can relive his teenage years through his kids by teaching them to drive stick in the same truck he drove at 16. A lot of people don't get special moments like that.
I’m having a really, really god awful time rn but Link and his truck made me happy for a moment. Thanks guys.
Sending you universal peace and happiness.
❤️
You will get through this.
Sending you lots of strength and love. You’ll get though this!
"blow the horn man!"
"I don't wanna scare the ducks"
That is adorable
Link saying "give me a key to your house" as a defining meaning of their friendship is peak goals lmaooooo my parents don't even have a key to the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For listeners of ear biscuits: the videos of Links truck start at 30:58
SERIOUSLY thank you so much for this. I spent like 2 mins and would been more searching for it.
You saved the day!
Lol you know why I'm here
Thank you!
I really want a GMM episode where Rhett and link teach one of the crew how to use a stick shift. Possibly Stevie or even Trevor
I vote Traver!
My mom and I have COVID currently. We are not doing well. She got it from my sister’s fiancé, and he was almost violently ill. All of us are fully vaccinated and boosted. I am glad you were doing well with it (potentially), Rhett, but most people I know who have gotten it have had awful symptoms. For those reading this, please do not try to just “get it over with”. It’s not been fun.
First, I hope you and your family get better soon!
My entire family from my wife's side got it (new years gathering), thankfully mild symptoms, even the elders. Hope it goes well with yours.
Second, you are right. Mild symptoms are not a given, we can only hope. Yet I think I feel the same as Rhett. If most of us will eventually get omicron, I just want to get it already and be over with it, (this is not to say I'm gonna go unmasked and licking people lol). Even though you can get it again and again, it kinda gives you some peace of mind for a while. We just need to keep being cautious and do our best to stay safe.
I'm sending some belated well wishes your way. We say 'Go' Bedring'... Get better, please. I live in a country with universal healthcare. I can't imagine anything else.
Link showung ALL the truck posed pictures despite Rhett's responses is beautiful. Its what we do!
I too had never seen “It’s a wonderful life” until this past Christmas. All I can say is WOW!! I was so surprised!! I was crying and yelling at the tv. I was so invested in the characters!!! It is now one of my top favorite movies!! And yes “Casablanca” is a great one too! I love “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. The classics are the best by far!!
Guys..Gregory Peck was Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird! Silly Rabbits!
Yeah, they were thinking of Mr Smith goes to Washington
This was the second time in a month I heard someone say To Kill a Mockingbird was another good Jimmy Stewart movie. Obviously those people need to rewatch Mockingbird!
@@DOfunnygirl That whole thing filtered down and I could see where they were going and I was forgiving that, BUT, He also said 'In one fail swoop' when the quote is actually 'One fell swoop.' *Shakespeare nerd Less forgivable.
it's so cute when someone discovers old movies can be good
My husband had this exact truck! I met him with this truck. lol! It had no A/C and only front wheel drive. He drove that thing into the ground.
I used to be a beer delivery driver for a brewery in holly springs and it is so trippy to hear these two creators who I have been supporting since they lived in fuquay to reminisce about their old haunts, and have a personal connection with the places we’ve shared. One of the best ear biscuits I have heard in a long time! And yea, traffic all around the triangle is getting bad.
Frank Capra's movies were so well done. They are charming, humorous, and make you think about what's important in the end.
I can't believe it's in such great shape! I would give anything to have my 1st car. That's so special.
Love your gift Link it’s very poignant. I don’t leave home since the plague, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. My son is a taxi driver and has worked all through this and never came close. In comes this new OMICROM and on the 4th of January myself my husband and my son tested positive. This was also my dad and grandad’s anniversary I had to go to the cemetery myself and not with my sisters. If this is as bad as it gets I’ll take it. I’ve had 7 family members with it in the beginning of December 6 of them grandkids. Stay safe out there it’s madness. X
My husband and I started watching movies with Danny Kaye and, honestly, you can’t and don’t replicate the charisma of these movies in the present times.
Highly recommend watching these!
Sending love ❤️
Danny Kaye is AMAZING.
I think my favorite movie of his is The Inspector General. :)
Check out Donald O'Connor movies as well. He's so likeable, like Danny Kaye.
Link telling dad stories in his truck melted my heart 💜
Restore the truck. FIX IT MAKE IT MINT, LOVE IT LIKE IT LOVED YOU.
Jimmy Stewart was not in To Kill a Mockingbird. That was Gregory Peck. It was also the film debut of Robert Duvall as Boo Radley.
Jimmy Stewart turned it down though
What an amazing friendship to be able to give your bestfriend a key to your house.
"It's a Wonderful Life" is my dad's favorite Christmas movie. For those who want it quick and skinny, Rugrats did a great parody Christmas episode where Chuckie wishes he never existed (mild spoilers).
Suprised nobody's noticed you. Wanted to say that I'm a by ear piano player and do not know how to read music. Your videos helped me be more comfortable with the piano and now i can improv with almost every scale. Thank you and keep it up
I love how excited link is/was for his gift!😃😌 So precious 😍
I'm with you with old movies, but one of my all time favorites is To Kill a Mockingbird. Definitely one of the beat movies ever...
I love it when Link talks about his red 1987 Nissan pickup :)
Yesss a brand new ear biscuits lets goo
Y’all are such a positive influence and a buffet of food for thought; thank you (:
RIP Link’s 1987 red Nissan pickup! What a way to go out!
If you have no idea what I’m referring to,
mosey on over to their bbWonderhole video of life size gummy replicas of themselves.
Wait, do we finally get to learn what Jessie got Rhett for Christmas?? I've been wondering for over a month, since he brought up in that Ear Biscuit episode that she apparently has the perfect gift for him!
He said it hasnt arrived yet :'(
I love 'It's a Wonderful Life'! I'm 42 and I'm sure I've watched it at least 35 of the Christmases I've experienced.
I wish someone still made a compact truck like this. The Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma are so much bigger than their 90s versions.
Much respect to these two amazing guys just keeping it real with us.
Another Jimmy Stuart film recommendation is Mr. Smith goes to Washington... AMAZING! I love classic films so much. Always watching TCM when I get the tv to myself ❤
Rhett and Jesse, I'm so excited you guys are going to watch older movies. There are so many good ones.
My first truck was a dark red 97 Chevy S10 and it warms my heart that you know what its like to have a mini-truck own your whole heart. Thanks for sharing this story
Thanks for bringing the highlight of my weekend. The past week has been rough as I'm grieving the loss of a close family member who died of COVID, and I'm working overtime at my job in the hospital. Two guys talking about the highlights of their holidays brings me joy
I am so sorry for your loss. These are crazy times and I hate that so many are spread so thin.
Nobody needs to know this. Why do people air shit like this on comments for attention lmao
I got my driver's license in 2014. My first truck was a 1985 Ram 50 and it was stock. This brings me so much joy. I love the mini trucks. Husband had a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. Old is better
thank you Link for including the video! so freakin wholesome

This is funny. I’m from Greenville NC. I grew up on all this food. Brunswick stew, the boiled potatoes, the vinegar BBQ etc etc.
Live on the OBX. Son lives in Greenville. Eastern nc bbq is the best Brunswick stew. Yum 😋
B's.Is.The.Best!!!!! I miss it since I moved to the beach. Smithfield's has the best Brunswick stew though.
i fully appreciate the enjoyment Link's experiencing from reuniting with this truck. Im sure my first cars no longer on the road, but if it was , id buy it up in a heartbeat. If i had the means, id buy a similar model and rebuild it. First cars are special because they are our first means of independence as teenagers. Freedom on 4 wheels.
link should teach rhett how to drive stick on a gmm episode, even though rhett probably knows how already.
They must have a crew member who doesn't know how. Imagine watching them teach Chase or Trevor how to drive a stick in the parking lot lol
Loved seeing these videos from back home in your truck! Now teaching your own kids stick IN YOUR TRUCK you had at 16!! WOW Incredible! SO much fun!
Wish y'all could go back to North Carolina more often! I love the country, as I was raised in Manitoba. Similar country side and childhood, so seeing you guys back in that environment makes me happy :)
I stumbled upon it's a wonderful life this christmas too! First time! I turned it on as a background movie and ended up really into it!
You guys are the best. Honestly my absolute favorite podcast to ever be created 🥰
I taught one of my coworkers how to drive manual and I made sure she knew what was actually happening with the clutch and everything. Took it really slow with explaining the friction zone and all. She got it really easy and said I was the best teacher. Also she only has one hand. It was scary cuz we worked at Porsche and a clutch a super expensive obviously.
I was wondering where yall have been 😭 happy 2022
I listened on spotify and couldn't wait to see the video. So fantastic to share those memories! Also Jimmy Stewart is brilliant in Hitch's Rear Window.
Who else is revisiting this episode after Wonderhole? 🖤
I have been waiting for this video all week after listening the podcast las week!
It is the best gift ever indeed, so nice to be able to teach your kids same as you were thought.
I have been a proud Nissan employee for 10 years and now I feel a little more to know the cars we build, can be so meaningful to someone and not to mention that the truck aged so we’ll 🥰

I'm happy to hear Rhett and Jessie are going to be watching old movies. You've been depriving yourselves of some great, classic movies.
Are there any other southerners in the chat who find great comfort in them reminiscing on some of their NC favorites? some of the only youtubers I know that have southern connections
Link. Please watch it's a wonderful life.
It's a Wonderful Life is my moms favorite Christmas movie so I've seen it a bunch of times. It's amazing and I love it as well ❤
I had Covid back in April and I thought I was having an allergy attack, I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. Now we’re finding Covid everywhere. My niece went to Mexico with her boyfriend and 26 other people (his family) 3 tested positive before they left Mexico, niece tested positive once she returned home.

I got a wee bit emotional watching Link teach his son & daughter to drive his old truck... >Sniff!
It’s a wonderful life is a great movie, but when you’ve watched it as many times as my family and I have it becomes a comedy, which makes it even better
Its a wonderful life is a great movie. The story really is compelling. It makes you reflect on your own life and decisions you've made in it.

It just makes you really think about If you've been a good person to everyone around you, and If you've impacted their lives in any way.
Man this is so wholesome
I never thought I'd have an opinion let alone an appreciation of any motorized vehicle ... But Link's truck looks amazing 😮
im so happy for a new ear biscuits 💜💜💜💜
The truck moment it got me. Damn! That's so beautiful.
You guys need to experience the food of northern Michigan. Smoked salmon or trout, fresh elk or whitetail deer and so much more
My family partially lives in NC and my parents have moved to Emerald Isle and we have always hit up bojangles and Smithfield’s, even the brunswick stew!
The Bishop’s Wife is a great B+W Christmas movie.
One of my favorites!
Gotta say, I went through the top 100 action movies several years ago and it was a blast.
Even boosted we have no idea the long term effects of covid infection. I'm still doing whatever I can to not get it.
This video of you reunited with your old truck is so cool really
Yessss. I needed some new ear biscuits in my life.
The Maltese Falcon (1941). Amazing.
Omg you guys are killing me. To Kill A Mockingbird is Gregory Peck. Lol
Buckle in my biscuities.
I watched It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street for the first time this Christmas and they're both really good movies. I typically don't like to sit through movies but these two were really good
Happy for you Link!
Glad you guys are back!
IAWL is my favorite Christmas movie. I watch it every year on Christmas day.
This is a great podcast. Can't wait to know what rhett is getting for Christmas
Just added Rhett said to try It's A Wonderful Life to my birthday week on my calendar in December. I haven't watched more than the first part of it
That is so cool you got to teach your kids how to use a stick shift in your actual first truck, almost 3 decades later.
It's a wonderful life is my fave Christmas movie, and I finally got round to watching Casablanca in full (having seen parts) over this Christmas and I LOVED it. I think you will too Rhett!
What with Links truck and Rhetts unexpected cross country trip and all the local back home talk this was such a wholesome ep :,)
Our dad loved that movie! I still watch it sometimes because it's amazing!
My daughter LOVES Smithfields!!!!
people hated its a wonderful life so much when it came out that movie theatres sold tickets for it at an extremely low price so people would come to see snd they could make a little money. Tv stations started airing it shortly after.
Link is definitely hurt that Rhett changed his locks and didn’t give him a key or tell him about it. Also sad they didn’t even say merry Christmas to each other .
I felt the EXACT same way the first time I got to watch Its a Wonderful Life in theaters like 10 or so years ago
i've done that cross-country road trip with my mom, i think when i was around locke's age - 17 or 18? it really is fun, provided you get along well with your parent of course lol
My husband will only watch if I add, "Rhett said so" :)
30:58 Link: There it is
Past Link: There it is
Hope you had a good weekend guys
i got all the common covid symptoms and had multiple rapid tests come up negative and even a negative pcr. then when i felt as though my symptoms were improving, i got a positive rapid test as well as a positive pcr after 6 days of already having symptoms. covid is so weird and i can't wait until we get over this hump.
Finally! Welcome back
We have Brunswick Stew in Virginia. It is so delicious oh my there is nothing like it in this world.
Thanks for the new content!
I LOVE celebrating Jesusmas!
