I kind of like how Rhett was like "take this with a grain of salt because we had a lot of privilege"

Someone once spent 8 years as my "best friend" and then I found out it was because she was hoping that whole time to bring me to religion. If you are religious that's fine but don't ever do that to someone, that was one of the hardest losses I have ever endured

As someone who has taught university level classes and has had office hours I can say, for me at least, I really tried to make it easy for students who went out of their way to ask me.  I would do midterm  and final reviews where I would give all the info they needed to pass the test and I knew if students were still coming to me to ask questions that they really were trying to make sure they passed or got the highest grade possible.  I remember my professors doing the same for me and so I passed it on.  It can never hurt to go and ask.

Rhett: "The external stuff is not that important."

Also Rhett: Takes an entire podcast to let us know he's growing out his hair... and how important that is.

Just remember to have this conversation with all your kids.  I’m the youngest and by the time I was in college, my parents just forgot to explain how college works.

Second year into college, and most of the advice you're giving is still 100% valid for the following years. Great EB guys!

my senior HS art teacher gave us all the advice “don’t steal your roommates food, people have been killed for less”

40:02 I'm so happy they're finally making these jokes

It's like the cutest way guys show affection by joking about how close they are

I would not recommend having total strangers as roommates in college. People be crazy!

This really puts my parents parenting into perspective

My mum got sick just after my last exam of my first year,  and passed away 10 days before my second year of university. The 8 years that followed were some the hardest years of my life.  I wish I had a great time like Rhett, but I still have ptsd from my experience.  I was not ready and it took me many years to finish,  and having a 3 year break.

Bless Link and his sitcom dad advice 😊🥺

Would you recommend that the extrovert get a room by themselves then to understand that sometimes being alone is good and that sometimes understanding how to be alone is an important part in life

I’m single and have moved states and companies a few times. It has 100% been an opportunity to reinvent myself

Having a roommate, at least for your first few weeks at college is like having a built in friend. If both of you don’t know anyone you will likely end up going to the cafeteria or the store or other places together, and helps get you out and eventually meeting new people there.

I love these guys. Been watching them for years. They changed my  life and got me through such difficult times. Love rhett and link and the whole mythical team. As a 26 year old I love how they grew as individuals and have never sold out. I especially love this podcast. Just unfiltered. Literally like they say. Two old best friends just talking. Absolutely amazing.

being a parent sounds exhausting

Everyone talks about them Jyncos but nobody ever mentions the pockets on them bad boys! You could fit a full size dog in one of those back pockets.

I wish I could have gotten some of this advice when I went to college, especially in regards to meeting new people and doing new things. My biggest regret was definitely not joining a club, there were so many clubs around things I enjoyed and knew I could have potentially made new friends but focused so much more on things that in the end just didn't matter. I only ended up keeping friends from high school but didn't make any new ones through college, especially not ones where we shared similar interests in things so now as an adult it's so much harder to find places and people to interact and connect with who still share your same interests and lifestyle (like being a single person in your 30's who doesn't have nor want kids trying to find other people in their 30's who also don't have/want kids and want to go and do stuff!)

@17:58 You're telling me that's how Link looked as freshman!?
