Link Neal

Charles Lincoln "Link" Neal III is the bespectacled half of the internet-famous duo, Rhett & Link on Good Mythical Morning, their famous YouTube comedy series. Link is known to be awkwardly funny, a master of organization, the President of the Republic of Cheesistan, and prone to retching and gagging when introduced to strange or unfamiliar food.

The Early Years
Link was born in Boone Trail, North Carolina to Charles Lincoln Neal II and Sue Capps on June 1, 1978 Making him 43 years old. When he was two years old, his parents went through a divorce. Sue then married her high school sweetheart, Jimmy Capps, and they moved to Buies Creek (Google Maps Street View).

On the first day of first grade, Rhett McLaughlin and Link both got in trouble for writing on their desks (A song they wrote called "Coloring a mythical beast" mentions that they were words like, “dam" and “hel”, (both spelled incorrectly) resulting in “detention“ from their first-grade teacher, Ms. Reed Locklear. Their punishment was to color in pictures of mythical creatures and beasts (specifically Paul Bunyan and a unicorn) at which point they became best friends. This was the beginning of their lifelong friendship, which has lasted 35+ years. Link once described his and Rhett's relationship as something akin to fraternal twins who were seemingly separated at birth.

The duo went to the same elementary school, Buies Creek Elementary, middle school; and high school, Harnett Central High School. They later got accepted into North Carolina State University, where they were roommates. Two of their college friends, Gregg and Tim, later joined their apartment.

They have many shared experiences together throughout the years, including their “first job”, camping trips, exploring the Cape Fear river, multiple near-death experiences, and having the same first and second girlfriends, Leslie and Amber. Rhett stated that they enjoy making memories together, which is kind of their friendship motto.

They began their first creative endeavor together at fourteen, by writing the screenplay for a movie called “Gutless Wonders.” They filmed a couple of scenes for said movie, but unfortunately never completed it. In high school, they shot a 25-minute film-parody on the tragedy Oedipus the King, where Rhett was Oedipus and Link was his father's servant. They also started a band called “Wax Paper Dogz" in which they were both lead singers until Rhett learned to play the guitar.

During high school, he and Rhett made a blood pact, promising to do something “Big” and “Awesome” together in the future. Unfortunately, Link lost said contract when losing his wallet two years later.

Link graduated NC State University with a degree in Industrial Engineering in 2001.

Career
Soon after graduating, Link worked for International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), where he was a co-op during his junior and senior years of college. He worked there for a few years, before leaving the job in pursuit of full-time entertainment. He now works as an 'internetainer' and co-owns “Mythical Entertainment.” with his best friend, Rhett James McLaughlin.

Rhett has stated that he and Link “make enough money to support two families in the valley." Meaning that they are financially stable.

Link now works Monday through Friday on the Good Mythical Morning channel with over 17,000,000 subscribers and a follow-up channel called Good Mythical More with over 5,000,000 subscribers. :)

Personal Life
In his junior year of college, he met Christy White at a rollerskating rink. They married in 2000 in Kinston, NC.

They have three children together, Lilian Grace Neal (18), Charles Lincoln Neal IV (15), and Lando James Neal (11). He currently lives in the valley with his family.

Link is 6 feet tall, although he appears shorter while standing and sitting next to Rhett.

Link enjoys organizing things and cleaning screen surfaces on the weekends. He claims to have slight OCPD and is an extreme completionist. He uses his degree in industrial engineering in his daily life, often having routines for everyday things.

Link, along with Rhett, is SUPER passionate about camping, and are avid mountain bikers, Paddleboarders and an Off-Roading enthusiast.

Both he and Rhett are also big fans of Lionel Richie and Merle Haggard's music. In high school, the two best friends often used to listen to Merle Haggard whilst driving around the suburbs in silence for hours, later discussing the lyrics in detail. At 16, after Rhett had just received his licence, they followed Haggard's tour bus all the way to South Carolina in hopes of meeting him, but got scared and turned back as they crossed the state border.

In college they did "Project Lionel" in their shared dorm room, having everyone that visited their room do his famous album pose on their yellow couch (called "Mr. Fly"), including Link's mom. In September 2012 they uploaded a video of them singing All Night Long by Lionel Richie, literally all night long. They recorded over 11 hours of footage starting at 7:25 pm on the Santa Monica Pier and ending the night at 6:30 am on Mt. Wilson. 

Link is also known to be a picky eater, as demonstrated throughout multiple episodes of GMM, where he frequently gags at new food, earning him his "Mythical Barf Bucket".

Kids
Link Neal has three children. They are Lillian "Lily" Grace Neal (born in 2003), Charles Lincoln Neal IV (born in 2005), and Lando James Neal (born February 23, 2010). Lando has been on a few of the Good Mythical Morning shows with Rhett's younger son, Shepherd. They usually work as a team to determine answers. They are very similar to their fathers and many people hope that Shando, as they're called, might become the new hosts for GMM in the future.
