@cephas76 (thanks for the thumbs up a while back!) I think about stuff like that too. It takes a special personality to be able to meet new people and perform live the way the guys do and not get flustered or mess up.

I also think about how odd it must be for Rhett & Link (or any celebs) to deal with people who 'know' them from their show/YouTube/live appearances etc. and most of the time they have no clue who those people are. That would be challenging for me but the guys seem to take it all in stride and I admire them for that!

Pay no heed, Guys, to those tiny 'oops' moments like we heard in Rhett's ''bread & meat/Rhett&Link'' story from NY...I think we all agree with JC Houck's and Tashabouvier's comments that Rhett&Link ARE making a ''funny CLEAN'' ''dent on the world''!!

You guys are the best. You can hear them laughing as they cut away. You are making a dent on the world! (Besides tube socks, I mean)

I jes sw ur fellers ysterdy at flea markt!

haha, great live performance!
love Link's space shuttle comment, and
the tube socks were hilariously rando!

sad enough, I woke up this morning hoping that a new road trip video would be up. I knew it was over, but I just needed to check ;]

The TV didnt know what hit it! you guys are great.

Ever since I saw you sing this on the road trip with the backup band, it's been one of my fave R&L songs. You guys are masters of the southern-style music. I'd love to hear some bluegrass from you. And remember to add more harmonies.... =)

That was great. You guys are hilarious! Thank you for making funny CLEAN humor that my sons and I can enjoy together.

sliced pork butt rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heh heh thanks guys for ruling.
Tip of the hat to you Link!
Bill obivously had no clue how funny you were he was like cracking up near the end

Tube socks as a gift is a great idea! You can never go wrong with socks! (Ok, maybe you can, but I personally find socks to be amazing.)

"We usually play characters, but this is the real us." lol, I like how you say that while you're both dressed in character. Funny!

However, my favorite quote during this six minute adventure of entertainment comes from Rhett.

"We're on a mission to sock the world and it starts with you!"

Sahweet as sugah, boys... :)

Congrats on the publicity!

you guys musta had surgery to sing that high. impressive as always.

when i watch things like this, part of me is always thinking "oh man, i hope they dont screw up and blow it". but that feeling gets less and less the more i see you guys live interacting with folk. maybe i feel that way cause i could never keep my composure like that. you really are amazing.

Cool! I was going to make some sort of witty comment, I had it all typed out, but it sounded horrible. So...Congrats!

Awesome song!

So... Rusty and Larnold pretended to be you on TV? *gasp! The nerve of some people! ;D

I have to say, the funniest part of the whole video was Link giving the anchor tube socks. I lol'd

I too hope the show is posted soon as I am looking forward to the 'Rhett & Link' kast and not the 'and Link' kast which was too btw.

It was a wonderful show and thanks for playing a variety of music during the pre-show! It was absolutly marvelous! As a musician and hopeful future music educator, I love being exposed to all sorts of music! Continue to play what you wanna play! It's good to expose your fans to different types of music! Thank you for that!

Great performance on the news guys, that shirt Link wears cracks me up! I hope the show is posted soon!

I expected Link to ask the special guest all about that tasting-the-pool thing, but he didn't ...

it has been a good show, but I like the original characters better :)

I enjoyed the show last night. It certainly had a variety of celebs to cater to: An medaled Olympian, a math olympiad, and a middle school athlete. I dont know how you can top that video guest, but im sure you guys will think of something in R&L headquarters. So im going to look forward to future kast.

P.s. I still havent recieved the secret song for answering a trivial charity question in July when Brian Layman took over the reins of R&Lkasting for the evening.

Joined part of the pre-show lastnight, loved the Merle Haggard tunes! I'm glad y'all didn't cave and switch to another artist, it's good for people to experience different forms of music once in a while. Next time play some Marty Robbins! YES!! :)

So I was late for the show tonight so didnt' see the local news appearance, but I did a little Googling....

http://www.wral.com/entertainment/video/3448890/

Nice job guys. I love how you said that was your persona...

Enjoying the music.

As usual, can't wait! and I'll be in for the pre-show! ;-)

The local news appearance today made me fall over laughing. Hilariously awkward, guys. It definitely got the attention of everyone around me.

Great... I'll be there! Here I thought the olympics were finally over lol. Just kiddin, Can't wait!

You scored an Olympic Silver medalist for the show tonight? Yowza, that's BIG! AND you did a live spot on your local news today too? Awesome! I'm really looking forward to the show. :)

I'm there! And with a slew of new roommates in the house, you may be gaining a handful of new fans as well!

woo!!
i'm excited (as usual)
cant wait to see the video of you guys on the news and the olypic person!!

I'm Hungry... very hungry.


FOR GIANT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The more I watch this video the more I like it. I keep finding myself singing :Shazzam it's the world's largest clam.:

So sorry to see this run end... :( I've had so many good times and laughs from these videos and I have to say that the Alka-Seltzer Great American Road Trip will always have a fond place in my mind. I do, however, have a question.

Are there blooper vids???? :D

That'd be AWESOME!

Ashy (from Alabama)
http://wanderingmen.com

This was such a great and unexpected video! The expressions on your faces when you were talking with the giant man were really funny!

I am very sad this has to end, and I love the fact that none of these videos made me think "this is too much like a commercial". They were just really fun and great videos that happened to be sponsored. So kudos to you guys for finding a great balance!

When can I buy the dvd of the complete journey in one epic dvd? xD

*tear* It was truly legendary!! ********

Thank you for making Mondays and Wednesdays entertaining!

not my favorite song of yours, but it was funny and i think the alka-selzer great american road trip deserves a standing ovation.

Yeah, virtual pat on the back....if i could subscribe again i would. But you guys really did a great job. I enjoyed the food related stuff, really because it narrowed down the video topics and made you be creative in a different way. Great series. But rest up and get back to makin funnies,, because I think i have become an addict and if i don't get my videos on Mondays and Wednesdays anymore, i may be going through withdrawals. Again Great Job guys.

Good video, as expected.

My feelings on the ending of the series are mixed, however.
Though I thoroughly enjoyed it, something about it was just....different from the rest of your videos.
So though I'm sad to see it end, I'm most certainly looking forward to your next non-food related video.

Will you be putting the speedy songs in a mp3 format for downloading or even purchase? Good stuff guys!

The ASGART IS OVER. We grew dependent on the Monday & Wednesday boosts and they became a much anticipated part of our lives. Now that way of life is coming to an end. :(

To quote the great John Wayne from the movie HONDO:
''It's too bad...it was a good way!''

Thanks, Guys! It was a GREAT trip and fun while it lasted! :)

waaaaaaa!!!
why does it have to end??!!
well that song was funny all those giant things make me feel so small although i am very sad i will accept the ending of this roadtrip!!
all those vidoes were great guys i will miss seeing clips of places iv'e never been and an alka-seltzer tablet droping in a cup.
-kelcie :( & :)

Why does it have to end? Every one of the ASGART videos made me LOL. My favorites were Maine Man, followed by the Cheese Rap and the Discount Fish Commercial. All of the rest fall closely behind. Thanks for the laughs! :)

Bitter sweet end to a great roadtrip! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with next, now that you dont need to involve food! Thanks for all the laughs!

all things must come to an end...what will I have to look forward to on Monday and Wednesday now??

Please don't leave us hanging for long! Really, sanity is overrated.

Thanks for the awesome vids and songs from your great american road trip!

Does this mean more Seaborne and Roach?

I love the big egg,haha, but most of all the BIG Speedy, another Awesome vid, and the End was Great!!

NOOOOOO! PLEASE DON'T LET THE ROAD TRIP END!

Well, now that this and the Olympics are over, my summer is over and it's about time for school...ouch.

Again, great job, and you guys deserve time off!

(Just please, not too long a time. I may have no internetainment besides those "Cat Playing Piano" videos! *gasp!*

My favorite part? The whole thing was catchy and funny, and it is difficult to identify one single favorite part.

I liked:
- the long bladed chain-saw - over the top manly.
- I like the fish
- cousin Glenn's "wha?" glance
- the state bird, fossil, insect, etc. "contest"
- I love the "I got some cousins in maine"
- I been supportin' the economy in Mai-ai-aine"

The harmonies were great, the tune was fun - one of your best.

Nope, never been to Maine - I think it'd be a nice place to visit, though.

My favorite part of the Maine Man song is Link's mannerisms on "the state cat is the Maine Coon" - classic early 1990's! Too funny!

Thanks so much, guys, for the great - and perfectly hilarious - summer road trip!

I just noticed in the scene when there by the boats behind Rhett is a boat name "Ugly Anne" I laughed so hard when I saw that. I am not sure if they meant to get that in the back ground but that is funny.

Hahaha. You guys are great! I just went to ME for vacation this summer and stopped at Portland Head Light where you did some of your videoing. I wish you had been doing it when I was there....

Outstanding! The song is stuck in my head! Definitely my favorite of the series. I pick out a new favorite line every time I listen to it. I went on a 23 hour roadtrip to the Canadian border. I drew the 2AM driving shift from Portland through Bangor to the border. Straight up I-95, trying to stay awake and watch for moose on the interstate through the fog and rain. I think I saw 10 cars all night. Good Times. Rhett, congratulations on your new progeny(NCSU animal science word).

After seeing one of your videos on a comedy blog, we started looking around to see if you had any other work.

So now.... I have spent far too much time the last 2 weeks, watching everything I can find that you two have made. You amaze me with the talent and variety-nothing is the same, but everything is great.

This was one of the BEST. Two of my favorite parts-when Link puts the lobster in his shirt, he steams it so fast it automatically turns red. Then when Rhett says "with this Loser," his voice changes to emphasize the LOSER--very very funny.

Thanks for sharing your talent and amazing sense of humor-I keep wondering how you do this without cracking up constantly!!

what was really in that can? I have to admit Link would look funny as a lumberjack :) He could like wear one of those fake muscle things.

well you guys, this is one of your best music vids!
when we were in Lillington you guys let us listen to the instrumental and we were debating about the "baby trees" line. Its awesome to see the final product, it was awesome!

My choice for maine man is ... you're gonna have to fight it out.
This is my favorite video of the whole road trip. If it wasn't for the new years resolutions vid, cornhole, freelance fireworks, the clip of future according to rhett where he says "bacon coke", and the viral video boom where link dances, this would be my fave vid of all ever. Oh and velcro. but otherwise yah.

I've traveled to Maine. It didn't have men of various skills and trades vying for my love and/or babymaking abilities (can i say that and still be family-friendly?) but it did have a road and a restaurant or two that we utilized on our way to and from Newfoundland.

Good Times.
(Alka Seltzer was not there in my case but maybe i'll take him next time)

The more I listen to this, the more I love it... That last line slays me:

"and I like to get the child tax credit in Maine, but I'm gone need some help with that, girrrll..."

So subtle, but OH SO SWEET! XD

Ashy (from Alabama - he's an Alabama Man)
http://wanderingmen.com

that was very educational,
thanks to your helpful hint, about the bear pee, I won't have to worry about moose coming anywhere near me, or anything else for that matter

yes i have been to maine. it's the only state other than washington i would want to live in. it's gorgeous! my bro and his fam live there so we visited them 2 1/2 years ago in the winter and it was SO cold. we went hiking up this mountain that was mostly ice - twas so great. now looking forward to visiting in the warmer months and maybe fell a pine tree or catch a lobsta with my hands.

i just passed this vid along to him. he lol'd.

Wow! This was like an old school boyz to men rap! I love the saw dust sceen with Rhett and the tax credit comment by Link. Very funny guys - your wives must be happy that you are their "maine men".

One of the best yet.

Outstanding, gents.

Wish I'd known when you were gonna be here... I would have...

Well, I don't know what I would have done, but I would have done something to commemorate such a momentous occasion.

That song was the best of the bunch, and I'm not just saying that because I live here...

Great song about my home state.

I. WANT. THE. MP3!!! :D

Rockin' guys - the pick of the Interlitter! :)

Ashy (from Alabama)
http://wanderingmen.com

wow! i shake my head at the amount of creativity that emits from from my monitor when you guys sing. The Alka Seltzers are a miracle drug. They makes one funny.

Forgot to mention what my favorite part was!

"I've got a soft spot for baby trees" lol, and I don't know how a girl can be worry free when her guy bathes in bear pee. Personally, I think I'd risk the moose, lol, but I understand the concept of the bear pee....

Ahhh. I'd been waiting for this one for what seems like forever, and it didn't disappoint.
No, I've never been to Maine.

But I did thoroughly enjoy the bit where Link corrects Rhett about building the cabin in a month by himself.

My bro goes to college in maine, I think its a nice place

P.S. love the video

Wow. The best video yet!

Love the video and the song. The music reminds me of classic boy band music, but there's nothing wrong with that, right? You do no synchronized dancing anyway ... :-)

My favourite part of the video is where Link throws the net while singing the refrain.

o my gosh! o my gosh! o my gosh!

i have been waiting for this one and i was sooo excited to see it!
and it.........is........AWSOME!!!

i loved it guys its very catchy and funny (of coarse)!! its definantly one of my favorites!!!my fave part had to be the bear pee part that was so weird. plus i liked how link said "yeah.....but you smell like bear pee." hahaha :) :) :)

wow, guys, that was hilarious. and yes i have also seen the greatness that is Lenny the Chocolate moose. It has to be at least one of the top 261 moments in my life!

First off, Let me start out with an applause! You guys deserve it! You two seem to do nothing but impress! I first checked this video out during my lunch break and when I went to my Astronomy Class, I couldn't get it out of my head!

This video really took me back to the days when boy bands such as the Backstreet boys were popular. lol, I take it boy bands had something to do with the inspiration of this video?

Again, Congrats!

How can they keep getting better and better?! We (my family) love this song, but people are kinda looking at me wierd as I keep finding myself singing "I wanna be your maine man".

this one leaves me speachless.. in a good way! Great harmonies and outfits, but I really love everything about it. Fav from the whole series! *******

Well, my girls say Link is the pick for their Maine Man. I like the rugged lumberjack type myself, but the bear pee might be a problem for me, Rhett. :)

I totally agree with everyone about the harmonies on this video! Plus the cool locations, the facial hair, all of the Maine facts, and that last line about wanting to file for the child tax credit and needing 'her' help with that...excellent! You guys out did yourselves on this video!

what a great video. honestly, this and the bbq song are probably my favorite. when rhett gets covered in the sawdust has gotta be my favorite part. unbelievable job guys.

and you cooked a lobster under your shirt, Im impressed. one of the best songs so far. and where did you get that GIANT chainsaw?? that made me laugh

I think my favorite visual part was Rhett getting showered in sawdust, and my favorite part of the song was when Link said he wanted help with getting the child tax credit! haha

This song is going to be stuck in my head the rest of the day I am sure :-)

I've never been to Maine personally, but friends have been and told me it's beautiful.

BTW, just wanted to say ink might have done a good idea on the kast last week by only showing a part of the video... It left me with not knowing what EXACTLY the video was going to be about, and it surprised me with the lyrics. Usually when you premiere a video on the kast, I laugh so hard there, but when the videos released, it's just somehow not as new to me...

....and let the hate comments for me suggesting don't show whole videos on your show begin...

My hubby and I went to Maine for our honeymoon in 1999. We went to Bar Harbor first and then drove down to Freeport. We really loved it!
My favorite part of the video is where Link is putting the lobster in his shirt and says something like "I'll steam it with my body heat". Totally random and I love random! Hate to see this series end!

Haha, I liked the part about the Moose in the road, when all it was was a scared old lady with her little dog covering up something he left!! AWSOME! and when you guys lifted up your arms as well as your hearts while the cross bridge lifted up for the boat to go through.........WOW!

My family went on a trip to Maine when I was in high school. It was kinda foggy and rainy while we were there, which I loved. I thought the L.L. Bean store was sweet. What I saw of Maine was beautiful.

My favorite part of the vid was when you guys hit good harmonies - particularly when you go high on "state girl of Maine is YOU" and when you both go high on the final chorus. I like how you're on the same note but Link drops a 2nd to the note below creating tasty dissonance. Your music videos are my favorite thing you guys do, especially the ones that clearly took extra musical effort. My other faves are Cornhole and BBQ Song.

I always wonder why you don't overdub more harmonies? You have the voices for a great blend. The only time I've heard overdubbed 3-part harmony was in the Fireworks Song.

Keep up the sweet music vids, guys! Thanks for another great one.

My favorite parts were Link's facial expression while eating the blueberry pie at the beginning, the hilarious vocal effects throughout, the parts where the vocals go all high like on "The state girl of Maine is YOU!" I also like "The state animal is moose, the state mammal is moose!" and that entire section with arguing about who knows more facts about Maine. I really like the harmony during the part where the camera is circling around Rhett and then Link. I also like how you say "Girrrrl" at the end. LOL, great video. Keep doing music videos! They are the best!

Awesome!!! One of my very favourites! I can't even pick a favourite part - it was all gold. Although, I have to admit I liked Rhett's cousin quite a bit.

bahahahahahh this is hillarious. i wonder what you guys are going to think of after the alka-seltzer great american road trip...

Baby is a cutie, I though he might be coming when I saw Rhett and Locke walking down our street at 1:30 am. Congratulations!

Aaww, Link c'mon! Isn't the baby the cutest thing! Just like Link to be suspicious of somehting like that! Congrats, Rhett!
"We switched in the nursery." "You gave someone else the ugly one." Lol! No offense Rhett.
This is like the longest viedo ever but it's good.
Bearatone sounds cool. I probably didn't spell that right.

"Things are gonna change around here dang it."

Love that line!! :)

Hahahaha I can't believe I didn't catch the LOST coincidence. Too funny.

okay i seriously thought i commented but i cant find my comment maybe i'm just blined so forgive me if i already put this but.........YAY me and shepherd have the same middle name.........darn thats the second BOY i have heard with that middlename i'm starting to think my parents gave me a boy middlename........i need to go talk to my mom about some leagal name changing. JK!!(i like my middle name)

i wanted to give a thumbs up to Mamacitax7's comment (i wholeheartedly agree with her last paragraph), but alas, this is not youtube. well, thumbs up to you anyway.

again, congrats rhett. good job link. i almost enjoyed it even more with rhett cohosting via phone! w00t!

@Jen in WA, Shepherd is a ♂
you were close though..

So excited for you! August 22nd. Remember that. For the next 18 years people in professional fields will be asking you for her birthdate, possibly to prove that you really ARE her dad. Takes a year or two to get it down so it sounds like you DO know the answer. In your case it will be eight twenty two oh eight. Blessings on your family and congratulations!

Mamacitax7, to your question about whether Locke and Shepherd were inspired by Lost...No. We almost didn't use Shepherd because of this, but we figured we'd go for it. You're the first person to point this out. For the record, Locke was born before Lost ever aired, and my wife really like Shepherd for a number of reasons. Are we Lost fans? YES....favorite show. But the names are a coincidence. Thanks for asking!

The difference between a six pound baby and a 9 pound baby may not seen like a lot to fathers but as a mother it makes a big difference :)

...I always knew it was said Rett.
and I think naming a child Baritone would be kind of mean. D;

Such a cute kid, though.
And iPhone.

Good job, Link.
:D

Link did a fine job at the helm last night and driving the show solo in Rhett's absence. Nice telephone interview with Rhett from the hospital too!

Thanks, Rhett, for sharing the pictures of little Shepherd. My kids want to know if you and your wife are 'LOST' fans...John LOCKE and Jack SHEPHERD are popular characters on that show...

Dan's cheese video montage was great, it really gave me encouragement about the cheese video response my family is doing!

And if I was excited about the Maine Man video before, I am UBER excited about it now after seeing the clip on the show!! You guys keep getting better and better. I suspect that it will be my favorite of the whole series. :) Alka-Seltzer got a gold mine of talent when they signed you guys on for the Great American Road Trip.

Great job taking the helm, Link! I really started laughing hard with the pictures of the baby iPhone. But Shephard is an adorible baby! Congrats Rhett!

Oh and Link, you wore an Emery shirt?
Awesome (:
Good band.

Aw I miss everything!
Congrats Rhett :D
He's so adorable. Awwwwww.
Locke is adorable too. He must be so excited (:

Great Job hosting last night Link every week the R&L kast brings something new/ original to the metaphorical table. And this week was interesting to say the least, i dont think i have ever seen a host interview their (co-)host on a show before. Congrats to Rhett on his newborn (and correctly spelled) boy, Shepherd and congrats to Link on holding down the fort so nicely.

an interesting observations: this has to be one of the first times that link pronounced it north caroLINA... does rhett have some sort of presense that alters link's soundwaves to say Cak-laka?

What the loyal Rhett and Link fan(or Link fan) would say is --------- GOOD SHOW! Congrats to Rhett!!

As usual, it was a wonderful show! Very nice job going solo for the evening, Link!

Rhett's new son looks adorable! I wish Rhett and his family the best of luck with the newborn! Congratulations!!!

Link, you did an awesome job of hosting last night! I was hoping you'd use the WebcamMax (You guys use that, right?) doodle feature to draw a line through Rhett's name for last night...Meh, a boy can dream.

Also, i agree with funk, Nana should have co-hosted! Imagine that!

And, again, congrats to Rhett and his MANY family members who were at the hospital last night.

Great show Link! I can't imagine having to do all of that alone. Good job on keeping it all together.

Congrats Rhett on the super cute baby! Hope you'll be back next week with some non-graphic baby type stories.

Link you did a great job last night flying solo...however, i do have to admit that i was wishing upon a star that nana was going to help co-host....just think... the Link and Nanakast Live!

but again....great job and a big Congrats to Rhetts family...

now my wife is pressuring me into another one...."See Rhett has two!!!"
