<p>The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QATUucBoe_I" target="_blank">Mythical Crew Video</a> that was released yesterday (01/23/16) got me thinking again about something I've noticed in recent GMMs. Rhett and Link, more than any YouTubers I know, have been so transparent about the business side of their channels. They mention a lot that they are the bosses and that they have the crew do a lot of the heavy lifting. Even behind-the-scenes videos are filmed more like "a day in the office."</p>
<p>On the one hand, it makes me so happy to see how far Rhett and Link have come and how much they have grown. I am a huge fan of the mythical crew members and I always love when they are featured on the show or have segments of their own. I love that Rhett and Link are honest that this is a job and that it is a lot of work. It reminds me too that they have other people in mind (i.e., their families) that they need to support by making money and growing the business. Finally, having such a large crew allows for fantastically elaborate GMM episodes that are incredibly well made.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it sometimes makes me feel a little awkward how obvious it is that Rhett and Link are the face of a show that sometimes doesn't even seem like theirs anymore. I really enjoy watching back the old episodes where they literally just had a conversation and still made it fun and entertaining. It also makes them seem more distant sometimes from the fans. (I even read the official Rhett and Link twitter in Jen's voice now because everything tweeted from there is so Jen.)</p>
<p>I'm not accusing them or applauding them, just presenting two sides of a coin. I haven't even really made up my own mind how I feel about the newer tone, but I thought I would see what everyone else thought, or even if y'all noticed it. (I know I tend to overthink things).</p>
<p>Be your mythical best!</p>
