Rhett and Link aired the first episode of Good Mythical Morning on January 9, 2012, to their YouTube channel of the same name. The series' crew only consisted of one member during season 1,[5] but has since grown to have twenty-eight members, as a part of Mythical Entertainment.[6] Many fans of the show enjoyed their behind-the-scenes crew which lead to the creation of the YouTube channel "This Is Mythical", which focuses on the funny hijinks of their crew.[7] The show focuses on Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal as they tell hilarious stories that have happened to them, sing songs, do food related challenges, and more.

At the end of every episode, Rhett and Link bring out the "Wheel of Mythicality" to spin, which consists of different spots it can land on such as "6 Degrees of Bacon," "Winface," and "Gifticality." Good Mythical More is the after show for Good Mythical Morning which contains Rhett and Link relaxing after an episode, talking about anything.[8]
