Hire Rhett and Link Or I’ll Punch You in the Neck
I’m a big fan of Rhett and Link, the singing duo on YouTube who make sponsored videos that are so damned entertaining they hurt. It’s like watching MGM’s latest videos… I am both thrilled for them and ready to hang up my hat. I’ve blogged about them dozens of times, featured them in my book,…
