- And this is everything we do in a day.

[upbeat hip-hop music]

[dings]

- I wake up at 5:50.

[computer keys clicking]

- Ooh, I wake up at 5:20.

- Ho ho, okay.

- We both live in L.A., close enough to each other

that if we yelled out of our front door,

we wouldn't hear each other.

- But maybe potentially an air horn, like a really, really.

- Air horn would do it.

- My particular alarm is one of the

standard ones on the iPhone.

- I use the Sleep app.

It goes from not being hardly anything

to then getting louder and louder.

- I've done that from time to time.

That's very nice.

The very first thing that I do

is I go, next to my bed I lay on the floor.

My dog Barbara comes and gets on top of me,

licks my face a little bit, and then she hops

back up in the bed with my wife,

and then I proceed to do a 22-minute long stretching routine

that I have to do in order to maintain back health.

It's sexy.

- First thing I do, I take way too long

to put my contact lenses in.

Sometimes I have to put them in twice

'cause I just feel like there's something under there.

I put on my clothing, I brush my teeth,

I put on my bandana, and I go to the gym.

[computer keys clicking]

I go to the gym from 6:00 to 7:00.

My gym's like six minutes from my house,

so I go to the gym and when I'm done working out,

I come back home and I finish getting ready.

- My gym is exactly halfway to work.

My session at the gym starts at seven, goes til eight.

At this point, I'm still very reliant on a trainer.

- Poor little Rhett needs a trainer.

- You're in a class.

You have a trainer and another buddy's alongside you.

- My workout consists a lot of readjusting my headband,

looking at my watch.

- After I work out, I go to the steam room.

We have a steam room.

- Wow.

- And I get out of steam room and I go to the sink.

They've got razors, they've got shaving cream,

they've got Q-tips, a blow dryer.

I break out a good number of products

and I'm kind of doing it in a communal place,

but nobody seems to mind.

- After I've completed my workout, I get back in my car.

I kind of lean forward driving home

so that I don't get back sweat on the seat.

I get home, I bust in the house and I say, Daddy's back!

My kids run up and they all give me a hug and a kiss.

That's not really true.

They're all doing their own thing.

Then I go upstairs and I shower and I brush my teeth,

take my contacts out, put on my glasses, put on my clothes.

I get my nine year old in the car and I take him to school.

We have a little conversation about life,

and then I drive into work.

For most of the way in,

I'll listen to a podcast or some music.

If I really need to get pumped up,

I'll listen to Easy Lover by Phil Collins and the other guy.

Can't remember his name.

- The other guy, that's an insult.

- Yeah.

- I typically listen to a podcast or an audiobook.

Then I drive the additional 12 minutes to the office

where Link, my good friend, is waiting with open arms.

We try to arrive at the office every day at

8:30. - 8:30.

- And I get there at 8:43.

- Yeah, you do.

- So we have a writer and a producer who are both assigned

to an individual episode of Good Mythical Morning,

and they kinda come in and say, all right,

just to remind you, this is what

we're going to be doing today.

- They'll talk to us for about 10 minutes.

We'll listen for about 5 minutes.

By 9:00, we're usually ready to be behind the desk

to film an episode.

If there's a stopdown while we're filming

Good Mythical Morning, Rhett's typically on this phone.

- Checking email, checking Twitter,

checking Instagram, checking Reddit, and then starting over.

[bubbles popping]

Going through them again.

- Until they say, hey, come on, let's make this show.

Let's keep going.

We might hit a second episode if we need to go

into another one, and that puts us at what?

- I mean, usually lunch is say, a typical day around noon.

We like to get it a little bit early.

It's a stressful point in our day when you're like.

- Picking your lunch is hard being a dude.

- Ah, I need to think of something else,

but ah, I gotta figure out what I"m gonna eat.

I wish it was just like it was back in the day

at Buies Creek Elementary School,

when I just looked at the day and they were like,

you're having scary spaghetti today,

because it's almost Halloween.

[witch cackling]

We very rarely go out for lunch anymore, it's usually.

- We're not allowed to leave the office for lunch.

- Usually it's like, all right, lunch is in your office

and Stevie's also in your office and you have a meeting.

[chuckles]

- After lunch, there's probably some other meeting

[computer keys clicking]

that moves Good Mythical Morning forward,

when the ideas for the next episodes that we're filming

are pitched to us.

- And then usually there is another kind of meeting

of some sort and it isn't uncommon

to also step into our Ear Biscuits studio,

our podcast studio, and record an episode of the podcast,

and that takes about an hour and a half

because we got to read some ads.

[cash register rings]

- I try to leave work at six o'clock every day.

- I usually have a couple little things

that I'm wrapping up.

- Yeah, and I'm out the door.

- So I'd say 6:10, 6:15.

- When I walk in the front door, my dog Jade

and my nine year old Lando, they both run up to me

and give me a hug.

- My family is very unpredictable.

Sometimes they're not even there,

and I don't know where they're at.

- I never cook in my house,

[computer keys clicking]

because everyone in my house is too smart for that.

It would be catastrophic.

I'm a great cleaner, though.

I just will say that.

Usually my wife has made my oldest daughter,

she likes to cook as well

and that's usually like 7:00, 7:15.

- There is no predictable time

when the McLaughlins are going to eat.

It might be right when I get there, it might be 9:30.

I love to cook, but I'd say at this point

we're like 50% home cooked meal, 50% delivery.

- My older kids stay up later than I do.

- My kids just do whatever they want to.

They're basically just raising themselves.

- I go to bed at like 9:00, 9:30,

and then I'll just try to read a book

as opposed to being on Reddit, which means I'm on Reddit.

- We like to watch the Goldbergs together,

so that's a nice family thing,

and what ends up happening to me is

I fall asleep before it's over

and not because I don't like it, just because I'm tired

and I gotta get up early.

- And then I go to sleep by like 9:45, 10:00.

I wear boxers and a t-shirt, don't tell me you're naked.

Don't tell them you're naked.

- It just depends on what mood I'm in.

I have a white noise machine that is basically required

for me to sleep at this point.

- I'm a pretty heavy sleeper.

My head hits that pillow, my mouth open,

and then you know I'm out,

and then the process starts all over again.

We're Rhett and Link.

- And that was everything that we do in a day.
