Rhett & Linkare looking back as their YouTube careers hit an impressive milestone.

On March 13, the content creation duo — known for nearly two decades of comedic videos — released the 3,000th episode of their flagship web series,Good Mythical Morning.

"When we started Good Mythical Morning back in 2012, we knew it would be a long-term project. But this long term? We could have never imagined we would get to 3000 episodes," the pair tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.

"Hitting this milestone is incredibly special to us and the Mythical crew," they continue. "Not just because of the number, but because of the community that's grown around the show. The Mythical Beasts have been with us every step of the way, and this episode is really a celebration of them as much as it is of us."

The internet personalities, whose full names are Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, first started uploading videos to YouTube back in 2006, but it wasn't until 2012 that they launched Good Mythical Morning, where they complete silly taste tests among other out-of-the-box content.

Today, Good Mythical Morning has close to 20 million subscribers, and the pair have a host of other media properties under their entertainment studio, including the YouTube channel Mythical Kitchen, podcastsEar BiscuitsandA Hot Dog is a Sandwichand the food outlet Sporked.

"Almost everybody who started at the beginning of YouTube when we were getting going is not still experiencing the traction that we are," Link said. "A lot of that is owed to the success of Good Mythical Morning, which wasn't the first thing we did. We started it as a side project, not knowing that it was gonna be our lifeline to our audience."

Rhett added that, while other content creators tried to chase viral trends for short-term success, they dug into a consistent show format to slowly build a reliable audience.

The pair have also not been shy when it comes to setting boundaries with their audience — even amid the rise of influencers who make a living sharing intimate details about their personal lives.

"If you get into a place where you're letting your audience lead you or you're just sitting there, cowering to them, to do the thing that they want from you, you're going to shrivel up creatively and personally," Rhett told PEOPLE. "Understanding how that relationship actually works has been a key to our longevity."

And as for Great Mythical Morning, though Link acknowledged it can be a "challenge to keep it fresh," he added that "the challenge is part of why it works."

Trade deadline boost helps New York Islanders believe they can chase the Stanley Cup right now

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (AP) —Matthew Schaefer magicalready had the New York Islanders believing they could exceed preseason expectations and make the playoffs.

Islanders Canadiens Hockey

Acquiring Brayden Schennat the NHL trade deadlineafter adding a couple of veteran depth players in January has only added to the good vibes around the team.First-year general manager Mathieu Darche"wanted to give a little push" by going out and getting Schenn,fellow Stanley Cup winner Ondrej Palatanddepth defenseman Carson Soucy, and it might be the nudge the Islanders need to not just get in but go on a run.

"Mathieu, all he wanted was to reward the players," coach Patrick Roy said Thursday. "The guys played so hard and played so well to give ourselves the best chance possible to make the playoffs. There's no guarantee. You have to play the games. But I'm sure the players appreciate the moves that he made, and looking at the way we've been playing, I think our players deserve it as well."

After missing the playoffs a year ago and winning the draft lottery to get the chanceto select Schaeferwith the top pick, the Islanders looked to be in rebuilding mode — not quite a contender but with the ingredients to get there.

Instead, the 18-year-old defenseman has been a revelation, giving a franchise more than four decades removed from the 1980s dynasty days the kind of energy perhaps not seen in hockey on Long Island since. Schaefer needs just four goals over the final 17 games to break the NHL rookie defenseman record of 23 set by Hall of Famer Brian Leetch in 1988-89.

Schaefer's presencewas a big reason Schenn waived his no-trade clause and left St. Louis.

"He's an incredible, incredible guy," Schenn said. "He really cares about his teammates. He really cares about the organization. He wants to win hockey games. People obviously see the skill and everything that he does on the ice, but it's more so how impressed I am with how he is as a guy off the ice."

Schenn already showed what kind of guy he is. In his first game with his new team, he wasn't thrilled with the San Jose Sharks taking some liberties with Schaefer and was quick to confront them about it.

"It just brings life to us knowing that a guy like that has got our back and we've got his," center Bo Horvat said. "Having that veteran presence on the ice, off the ice, I think is going to be great for us coming down the stretch."

Schenn hoisted the Stanley Cupwith the Blues in 2019. Palat helped Tampa Baywin itback to back in 2020and '21, and Darche has rings from those title runs as assistant GM of the Lightning.

It's no coincidence, then, that the Islanders made deals for proven winners who can show Schaefer and younger teammates the way.

"They need to be surrounded with good players to help them, guide them through those steps as they progress in their career, and that's what we did with those acquisitions," Darche said. "You can only gain experience by living it. We want to make the playoffs this year. We want our younger guys to experience that. Having players that have been through it definitely helps those young kids (know) what to expect."

Schenn, especially, also fills a big role down the stretch. His addition allows Calum Ritchie to shift from center to wing and take some pressure off the 21-year-old in his first NHL season.

Darche said it was "all about having options." Roy now gets to experiment with different lineup constructions and find what works best.

Schaefer has been having a blast all along.

"We always know when it's time to work, but we always can have a little bit of fun and things like that, too," Schaefer said. "Winning and you know that your teammates and the coaching staff and everyone here helps when everyone's so close and always having fun and happy and things like that, it makes it fun to come to the rink."

The arrival of Schaefer and Ritchie with more top prospects on the way — and not traded away — make the organization's future look bright. Center Mathew Barzal, who turns 29 in May, said he appreciates Darche making the kind of aggressive deals that make it feel like the future is now to chase the Stanley Cup.

"Darchie sees opportunity here and he wants to win and everybody wants to win," Barzal said. "Schaef's 18 and he's going to have 20 years, and I'm sure he's going to hoist it one day. Why not do it a few times, and do it earlier than later? It was nice from Darchie to get a few guys."
