Quick Scoop

  • Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal spent their childhood in and around Buies Creek, North Carolina.
  • They met as kids at school there and became best friends in first grade, long before YouTube and Good Mythical Morning.
  • Their hometown and nearby small-town North Carolina life later inspired projects like their novel The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek and various nostalgic episodes where they revisit their childhood homes and school.
