"what is matpat's full name? Matthew Patrick."
lies, we all know it's Matthew Patthew.
Its Matrick Patrick
underrated comment
@@oliversimonson6649mattrick Patthew
I think you mean Matrick patthew
Man and here I thought it was Matty Patty
Matpat's now going to be the internet's Stan Lee. He's just going to appear everywhere for no apparent reason.
I am totally down for this
Yes please god we need that
I hope so
Excelsior
And I’m OK with that. I think he has kind of earned it. He’s kind of been to cool cousin that always goes. Hey, did you know blah blah blah blah about la blah blah blah now you can tell your friends
Honestly I was going to be mad about how it seems all of a sudden everyone seems to be abusing MatPat's retirement, but looking at the positive comments made me realize they aren't abusing his retirement, but celebrating his life, and that we get to share one last journey with MatPat.
Wait wdym people were abusing his retirement? 😭😭
You make it sound like he's on his deathbed 😭 😭
@@SaltynSassy31 My guess is that because it was such a big moment on UA-cam, a large number of people were making memes joking about it, or some people weren't "fond" of the choices to retire/pass down the channels to the other team members & "expressed" that (this is just me assuming as I haven't seen anything really negative yet)
@@TimerdonDWI I haven't seen anything negative either, just jokes that were mostly light hearted lol
Then again
I'm not too up to date with online stuff lol
Pretty sure bro isn't dying. He has another good 40+ years worth of journeys left in him.
Rest in peace Ronnie, he truly helped to start the biggest shows on youtube. If only he could have seen it today
you're one of the only people in the comments who've mentioned Ronnie. Rest in peace.
Who is ronnie
@determinationincarnation one of the original editors for game theory. He passed away in 2018 by suicide unfortunately
@@YelloowMelloh snowflake
@@YelloowMelloh snowflake
now that mat's retired i cant wait to continue seeing him pop up in the most random places on yt 😭😭
gyatt
idk seems more like a skibidi
I agree
sounds pretty sigma
true lol
Matpat beat the main game and now he's doing all the sidequests he had to skip along the way
Also pewdiepie
MatPat not being on hot ones may have actually been because he was to busy counting toes
Very well said
Lol
LOL
"his name was Ronnie Edwards" and now I'm crying. He was so pivital to game theory and it sounds like he was an amazing friend too. I am so happy to have heard him be mentioned here. May he rest in peace.
Why couldn’t people just NOT be d***s on the internet FOR ONCE
Not the right timestamp, but I get it
Why the "rest in peace"?? Not really up to date
@@nairagar7338Ronnie sadly died by suicide a few years back.
@@nairagar7338 Ronnie committed suicide in 2018
11:51 I just imagine MatPat talking to Stephanie like some evil villain monolog, "With our two powers combined, we will be unstoppable"
2:17 “I am retired!” *proceeds to appear in every other corner of the internet*
Hi profiely
😹🎅🏿🥰🥶🤑
"So I can focus on my podcast" lol
Profily pfp spotted
@@Katielovegood44 do you know the name of his Podcast?
Thats just a theory an AUTOCOMPLETE theory
naur
good job lol
You beat me to it!
That’s the line
Thanks for watching!
MatPat retirement arc is something really special. Instead of never seeing him again , we're seeing him everywhere and I love it.
I want that shirt.
Also, I love his answer to the "Why is Matpat smart" question. Having a good support group in school really can determine how much you grow to love learning about new things. I really appreciate the teachers I had that encouraged us to be creative and found ways to make learning fun.
Matt and Steph's relationship started as academic rivals, I'm actually screaming that so adorable
Literally rivals to lovers
thata the most fanfiction thing ever 😂
I can't believe I'm learning this fella has that Wattpad charm, MatPad, WattPat
@@jajajasputin8927oh my GOSH that’s hilarious 😂😂
@@jajajasputin8927Mat’s life is actually insane
Matpat: Goodbye internet
Also matpat:I'm actually still doing a lot of stuff online, I'm just not the face of the theory channels anymore.
Yeah thats what he said
uh huh
I assume the word retire means career pivot now?
@@alexeialeksandr7606 i guess. Yeah. Retire means not working/taking a way lower level job just to have something to do. Not being busy with a bunch of stuff and just dropping 1 of that stuff
@@naturesfinest2408 he only retired as host
The "that's just a theory..." sound at 1:57 just warmed my heart.
same.
I'm really glad he brought up Ronnie. I watched his stuff back when it first launched/was first uploaded. It's touching he cares and remembers him so fondly.
It makes me both sad and happy, because he clearly so genuinely cares and is still impacted by that friendship, and that loss. MatPat is a good dude
Matpat theorizing his searched question is him theorizing on google
Buts it’s just a theory, A GOOGLE THEORY!
classic mat being himself
Thanks for googlingg
That's just a fact! A GOOGLE FACT!!!!
I love how he's not correcting most of the questions' grammar because he's so used to us lol...
@@mctogo001 I know that this reply is ironic, but you misunderstood the comment, it said "he's NOT correcting"
question's*
@@dresdencooper2231there are multiple questions
If you say "question's", it means that there is only one question. Saying "questions'" makes the reader understand that there are many questions. @@dresdencooper2231
@@dresdencooper2231original comment is right, question is plural in the sentence so the apostrophe goes after the s
ive always said that matpat is one of THE MOST genuine, kind, people on youtube. he's such an inspiration and an amazing father. i wish more people were like matpat.
I love how matpat is retired and now he’s showing up everywhere as Easter eggs
"what is MatPat known for"
being a treasure and one of the most inspiring human beings on this platform.
Real

Also "The fnaf guy."
The shoutout to Ronnie was a pleasant surprise, rest in peace
He was the original glue that held the channel together what a legend
He was the best
He was one of the first. He will be remembered. Mark my words.
Who?
@@alex.g7317 Ronnie
RIP Ronnie. He would be proud.
retired at 37 with more money than anyone could ever need 😭😭 that is my dream life i think
This MatPat guy is cool, he should start a UA-cam channel
He did.
um, what the sigma?
You're everywhere man...
Eh, I don't see it
Good idea, but it's just a theory...
I love how Mat just remembered the timestamp of his 15 sec cameo in the FNAF movie
one of the biggest moments of his life. I would’ve done the same
I still haven't watched the movie T-T, it was somehow A rated in my country and i wanted to take my brother as well as he was a fnaf fan, but he wasn't allowed so I didn't go as well
@@sleeper6548 🏴☠ you can always use some shady website. that's what i did lol
@@sleeper6548 just watch it online lol
I pirated it lmao @@sleeper6548
So successful, smart, and charismatic, and yet, still humble, grateful, and non-judgmental. MatPat truly is such an incredible example of how to be classy while being famous.
5:21 rest in peace Ronnie 😢😢😢
Ah yes, after the Wired interview, he ran over to eat his last meal with Josh of Mythical Kitchen 😂
i remember him saying the last meal was way better lmao
Yeah he said this video was less fun to film and now I'm watching it 😂
😂😂😂😂 ikr
It's weird how long it took Wired to post the video!
@@salehdarwish4409 My guess is that they plan out a pretty specific release schedule to make sure that they're uploading videos consistently, so even if they finished editing this video weeks ago they would always release it now. They probably film multiple interviews on the same days and will have weeks where they might film nothing at all, so they have to schedule video releases way in advance to make sure they have videos uploading regularly.
MatPat didn't retire, he just started appearing on other channels 😉
It's just a different way for the MatPat water to be for a little while. (Shout out to anyone who gets that reference!)
He's still on Gtlive
He never retired. He said he just wasn't going to be doing most of the theories anymore. That's why he got other people. He's not technically retired tho.
That’s so real 💀
But hey, that's just a theory
A UA-cam Theory!
Rest In Peace, Ronnie Edwards.
8:13 “my schedule is open Scott” it’s like he’s telling Scott “PUT ME IN THE NEXT MOVIE AS WELL”😂😂
"And that's NOT a theory! That right there, that's a fact!" MatPat's been waiting his whole career to say that. 😂
661st like
he's said it before on the jar jar binks video, i believe
Matpat’s finished his main story. He’s starting on his side missions now.
Word for word
Bar for bar
Truer words have never been created, let alone spoken.
Word for word, bar for bar, true words have never been created, let alone spoken.
Yess
I just absolutely love how almost every question he turned it around and thanked the viewer.
Thanks to Matpat I learned that retirement means continuing to do what you have always been doing.
I’ve never been so happy to see someone “retire”. Matt is so lovely, smart, humble and talented.
Started his channel when I was 14…
He and Steph deserve the world
hey
but
thats
Adorable
like
The Matt and Steph story is sooooo adorable.
Yes! And I love how Sticks dramatized it in their MatPat trailer
Now I'm curious if we can also play the game that they made together. To see if it has any LoRe of course
literally feels like a romcom premise targeted toward gamers
MatPat's UA-cam's Jensen Ackles. Now that he's bot bound by the shackles of something he'd been doing over a decade, he can now pursue other ventures hes missed out on
I like that matpat actually gave context and good long answers which u usually dont see much of on these
He is so utterly based about his favorite games!! Chrono Trigger is such a journey to play and it still holds up today in my opinion. Thank you for everything MatPat
grilled cheese
fr
found u
Still my favourite JRPG to this day
And earthbound, the best game ever made
His face when the “is matpat on jeopardy” question showed up killed me lol
Always love how Matpat's talk, so comforting
Matpat feels like a Celebraty now. he Retired as a UA-camr, now he's a general internet Celebrity.
It's really sweet that Matpat always finds a way to give his thanks to the Theorist community multiple times throughout the video. You can tell he's genuinely grateful.
Can't wait for MatPat to just spawn into existence at some random UA-cam event every few months or so.
I learned something new about Matpat today… he definitely speaks like this at thanksgiving dinner
Smiled throughout the whole thing, Matpat just emits that energy.
It’s so crazy seeing big time celebrities, like Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Emilia Clarke, Ryan Reynolds, RDJ, Ana De Armas, etc., getting Wired Autocomplete interviews, and then seeing Matthew Patrick, my favorite UA-camr since I was 5 years old, also getting to take of these. I know that Mat talked about how all his teachers and his parents encouraged him to learn and how he wanted to be that person for the next generation, and him getting one of these interviews really just cements that! He was DEFINITELY that person for me! 💚🏆
Oh hey, aren't you that guy who sticks around in comment sections reminding people to not reply to bots? Fancy seeing you here!
@@xhappy_life yes I am!!!! Nice to see you too! This is my first time getting recognized outside of the theorist channels lol
It's so cool that they recognize influencers as internet celebrities in a way
@@thedarksaberIKR!!!!! Also, that is one dope username right there! Is that a Jacksepticeye Papers Please reference?
@@thedarksaberIKR!!! Also, that is one awesome username you’ve got there! Is that a Jack Septic Eye Papers Please reference?💚
I feel like you can tell that MatPat just seems a lot more happy and free now that he’s retired. Even if it’s very slight, you can just see it.
Can we appreciate that Matpat is kinda like the only one that does transitions for the next questions and I love that, and it's amazing to see Matpat being here is just truly amazing
2:25 he says recording booth, but we all know it's his closet.
Mat Pat is so charismatic bro, this episode felt so lively 😭😭
AGREED
Yeah I didn't stumble across him until very recently but there is something very likeable about him. I see why he has such a following.
This man is a beloved internet icon, he loves gameshows, he lives in California (or used to? idk anymore), and he has collected over a decade's worth of trivia about random nerd franchises. How has this man not appeared on Um Actually yet?
I dearly hope he lives in Cali now. Never knew that was even a possibility, but it would be great for me to live in the same state as one of my favorite UA-camrs!
He moved to Texas.
He moved to North Carolina in 2020 so he and Steph can be closer to their families
They are in North Carolina now
MatPat is always so thankful and positive and grateful - what a wonderful soul, with whose content a lot of us were lucky enough to grow up with 🎉
It's so awesome getting to see MatPat branch out into other projects and content. Still getting used to the new Theory Hosts, but this seems like a great direction for for everyone all around.
Ash teaching MatPat about gen z stuff warms my heart omg, everyone needs a resident gen z to know what's popular (tho I'm gen z and I don't really know sometimes lol)
his relationship with them sounds so wholesome lol
@@human69. them?
Same, I’m not on tiktok or instagram often and don’t even have Snapchat. When some new words get invented it’s so weird.
@@Jiblits007I genuinely feel old at times when people just go saying the WEIRDEST words ever that are supposed to be "new" or "trendy" meanwhile i'm here like
"... what's a skibidi???"
And i'm 17 MIND YOU! I feel like i lived through the stone age i swear to god 🤣
@@galacticboi0335It ain't allat fr, mog ohio to skibidi your gyatt for the rizzler
Matpat always mention Ronnie when he got a chance. Respect and rest in peace Ronnie.
MatPat still appears on UA-cam, man I miss him. It's good to hear him say " That's Just A Theory, *A Game Theory!* "
i love how Steph and Matpat started off as academic rivals i always loved that as a troupe
maybe it's corny but i love how _passionate_ matpat is about everything. everything he says is just overflowing with love for everything, love for learning and curiosity and other people and life!! he's inspired millions of children (including myself) to be curious and be learners just like him, and that is such a wonderful gift. the way he talks about his channel and his community and his staff is so passionate and loving and it's so delightful to listen to
It's so weird that people considered genuine positivity and compliments "corny" nowadays
100%! I haven't really cared about the stuff he's made in _several_ years but I do love his energy and value his experience with things. He seems like a great guy to chat to even if I don't really care for what he's actually made so far. 😅
He reminds me of the vlog brothers in that way, especially Hank. I wonder if they have ever collabed or if they ever will, that would be some good energy
Never thought I’d hear MatPat say “Cheugy” in my life lmao
only other time i heard of it was in Pokemon scarlet, when an old character asks the protag what it means. i had no clue
What does it even mean
As a gen z, I have literally never heard that word before until now
@@ethantrotto6668as a gen z, wow.
@@ethantrotto6668im fourteen.. heard it a few times when i was little online
big up matpat for being aware of how important the framework that surrounds you as a child is
so many, sooo many, successful people just say "I applied myself and worked really hard" without realising who enabled them to do that
also he still has ample time to become a game show host
It makes me happy to see he's still so peppy and has that spark that is unique to him
I remember that petition for Jeopardy. I signed it myself actually. He just seems to be a perfect fit for that host/mc role.
It's too bad they never got back to him as I think he would of been excellent.
Yes he would have been great!
I signed it too! He would have been perfect
Would've loved him more than the snobbish woman that does it sometimes.
But I respect Ken Jennings, he's cool.
Man this guy is so cool, he should make a whole series regarding the story of a franchise.
Why hasn’t he done that yet? He seems like he could solve FNAF.
he could be the one to finally connect sans and ness
The tagline shoud be something about ruining people's childhoods. Maybe "Ruining your childhood before 2012"?
he should do one big series about the new upcoming indie horror FNAF
He seems like the type of guy to end his career with a bunch of secret endings
Dude i saw people took over his other channels and just assumed he died. Glad to sse hes actually not dead.. for now
WHAT DO YOU MEAN FOR NOW
Can't wait to see his other projects and maybe sometimes him appearing on YT videos and collaborations like this one!!
Dude, Steph and Mat are the poster children for the academic rivals to lovers trope
The fictional poster children are Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe😄
MatPat NEEDS to be a gameshow host, he has the perfect charisma and energy for it
It's rare that I feel such joy in seeing somebody live their best life, but this is definitely one of those times ❤
Also MatPat is always so well spoken, don't know how he does it tbh
Mat’s impact is so special! Just a great guy!
Matpat saying Chrono Trigger is his favorite game made me so happy. This man is goated
And the SNES Earthbound
Playing though that. It’s fun.
I love how humble and kind this man is.
It’s so nostalgic that his favorites games never changed. I remember when I first started watching him and saw his Chrono Trigger Theory where he already presented it as his favorite game!
This is like the best of all worlds... we still get awesome theory episodes, Matpat gets the break he needs, and we still get to see him popping up all over youtube!
1:02 The fact that he gave the Steam code makes it so much funnier and fitting. Cuz like, he's a GAMERtm, obviously he uses Steam and well, Underatale first came out there, so it makes perfect sense
The fact that he's still working so hard despite being "retired" just goes to show how hardworking he really is. My guy really used to upload 4 videos a week and before that 3 videos a week for years
Man, it's still crazy to think he won't be on gt anymore. I still remember haplessly falling onto his channel when he posted the chrono trigger episode. It is also my favorite gam, and so i gave it a try and holy cow that only feels like maybe a year ago. Im gonna miss ya on game theory, Mat.
matpat has the rare talent of being able to talk and talk and talk and make every word meaningful
MatPat is literally traveling the universe appearing in different timelines to force himself into special guest cameos
I love that "that's not a theory, that right there is a fact" became his new catchphrase after retirement :D
He's just having a ball everywhere he goes ❤
Single most wholesome guy ever I swear I love Matpat.
10:41 *"At the end of the day* and in every level you beat and each boss battle defeat
With each achievement, your view becomes a bit more complete"
And with each twist that unfolds and every mystery you solve we find a new way to see this ball on which we revolve
These games have secrets inside and as a team we can find them
This made my day brighter and I need to cry
You've a blank page and a clear horizon, so why not do a little theorizing?
3:39 He did the original again!
Updated version for 2024
Original but now he's hot
Rizz.
Love seeing matpat getting his recognition 💪🏾🤍
MatPat is such a joy, it’s so cool seeing him pop up in random videos like this too
MATPAT JUMPSCARE
Even when retired, MatPat is still working harder than me.
I’m saying
I enjoy this interview and Matpat videos are very entertaining😃
watching this video made me tear up; i miss him so bad!! 😭😭
The description is perfect. "the semi-retired UA-cam hose to *The Game of Theorists*"
Ah yes, The Game of Theorists, with the famous quote "The Theory is Coming". LOL
LOL! I didn't even read the video description! _Who typed that?!_ 😂
13:13 omg, the meme potential that this line have is incredible
This is a "win any argument instantly" card
Really happy that MatPat gave Ronnie acknowledgment in this video and his last meal video, and I hope Ronnie is resting in peace
The way he just wants to build up others and keep positivity is so dope
"would it be weird if it was like brandon rogers or something like that" nice small shoutout
MatPat and Brandon Rogers must be planning something cause there is no way he just pulled this out 0:22
ikr?!?
Maybe he does a tiny role in helluva boss
F
R
I Quite literally almost broke my phone trying to get to the comments to see who called this out first
Yeah he has to have a role in something because it’s not that normal of a name
Always nice to see Matt in other stuff
But, hey! That's just an interview. A WIRED Autocomplete interview. Thanks for searching about MatPat.
"Recording studio"? C'mon, MatPat. We all know you mean "closet".
The thing that's great about MatPat is that he actually gave real (detailed) answers. I've seen some that where they just give us a couple of words, or a single sentence.
