Hey

Looking forward to it!

Hi Anthony 😊

Two bros chillin down the street 2 feet apart cuz they’re best friends

Bromance

the retention rate is going to be INSANE!!!

Surely that won't backfire

Da best idea ever

Omg right

I would have died

😂💀

Couldve gotten an entire video out of just that

Theyre saving that for part 2

same

I think Anthony should make another video with matpat after the retirement. I still will appreciate and love MatPat for what he has done for so many others, including me. And yes I did go through the 7 stages of grief for like 2 days, I recently already accepting that he is leaving, and it’s okay. Let’s all hope well for MatPat and Steph. ❤️🙏💚

Damn it I came here to say this 😂😭

What do you mean by "wife guy"? If you mean guys who refer to their wives as... their wives, that's just the normal English language my guy 💀 Edit: You'll never know...

​@@TheStudioArchitect Guys who use the fact they are married as a sort of marketing thing but very much don't actually value their wife or her contributions Let alone never naming said wife even though she is also a public figure Example Ned Fulmer, ex try guy

@@celigalaxii I believe the word you are looking for is "asshole." Because, although you are 100% right here, saying "wife guy" just sounds goofy 💀

the bare minimum

@@TheStudioArchitect but the term for it is “wife guy”….. it’s been around since about 2019…. Most of them end up the same way, with a cheating scandal. Adam Levine, John Mulaney, Ned Try Hard Fulmer, that’s the most notable three that you’ll hear associated with the term.

Cuz theire not gay

but one of them is gay

@@elenarexach9236 which one??

@@elenarexach9236 Mat is married and Anthony has a girlfriend

@@mostar1219 Ive never seen a post accusing either of them being gay. Well Athony does sometimes act gay in the old skits but its pretty obvious he has a GF

Same, though.

Oh, no doubt about it! XD

Didn't expect to see another gang member on this channel

Him and all commentary youtubers

D. all of the above

Anthony padilla lore

Probably a good thing. He was the Logan Paul of his era

​@@Misshowzat don't compare Anthony to Logan Paul. We don't compare him to that insane freak.

@@Misshowzat he was not

Same

idk even in this video you can tell anthony still regrets and despises what happened with smosh I don't think he could give a unbiased opinion

@@Nick-oj5bh They never said it would be unbiased.

i love this omg

Same!! I had so much fun hearing him mention the youtube generations and I got so excited!

You made me giggle😫

Are Anthony and Ian still friends? I haven’t seen them interact since he left

Even better: its 24 hours long

@@talentlesscult8968 I've seen Anthony mention him sometimes, so i think they're at least on good terms (i hope they're still friends)

@@Giose i think they are

I did NOT know he had a kid

@@braingoop his son Oliver is like, 4/5 years old at this point.

AKA Dadpat.

fun fact: I don't know if he ever takes it off or not, but ever since he first appeared with it in one of his Game theory not lives he' been wearing it, if you watch them. it's pretty wholesome and adorable.

@@Bluekoala626 that is adorable, what a great dad

Man, I hope you know that i grew up with your work. Thank you

Nice you must be really fuckin good at editing

I remember a comment by someone who went to school with Matt saying that everyone hears about how much of a dickhead some creators are before they became famous, but he’s like, “No no no, Matt was a bit reserved sometimes but was nice to EVERYONE and was hated by NOBODY back then”. So yeah, I only ever hear great stories about how genuinely awesome he is. And he did have a hard time when he was trying to find his feet before UKposts, so he knows what’s it’s like to have very little. Good for him for doing so well.

No way, that's crazy. I'm a fan of your ytps, I had no idea you edited for GT.

Whoa you edit for GT? That's wild! No wonder their videos are so well edited

+

Absolutely

They made such an impact on me I couldn't possibly imagine it being only MatPat, and I'm not even a real casual fan!

Yepp

it also means that matpat probably knew he would be leaving the channel already

Honestly having them interact with eachother is amazing. They are both amazing talkers, but matpat is used to talking and Anothiny is used to listening. It’s amazing.

Great vibes

You’re amazing

You already have the decency to acknowledge and respect your future lover, so you’ll do fine.

@@feiwnakausvkaxbdkebkswowbq8331 oh I mean like now lol I’ve been married just under a year now :)

Me too man

Doing the bare minimum is very surprisingly not common

Fax

Everything he says at this point sounds like a history lesson or a grand wizard telling me my future

he's one of the internet historians

you should watch some EmpLemon, he has a series going through historical events in youtubes history

@@leiii05 bro that sounds like a legendary group of people in an rpg. "Hes one of the ashen soldiers"

I agree. I always tried to avoid the videos with his editor’s (don’t remember their name) voice because I was so used to Matt’s

*cries in Extra Credits*

I agree but at the same time I understand that he might be tired of doing it after so many years

@@whatcanidooohe should get Ai to do it lol

@@DeathIsDestinyAh Austin. His videos were really fun but unfortunately or fortunately for you is that he’s no longer there due to personal life problems

Kind of like the channel Dude in a Room

Nah hes a pretender

MatPat and Steph did used to do that, help newer UKpostsrs navigate this landscape. Don’t know if they still do that though.

@@ethanlockhart3985 i think matpat did an interview doing that recently

Alright what is your reasoning. Why do you say he is a pretender

True

Yeah I think interviews like this similar to the one with Dan are really fun and I think much more flowy and easygoing

Yes, I love their chemistry and how they talk and react with eachother. You can tell that they are friends and that they both feel comfortable with eachother, it's awesome

The Taco Shell talk made it obvious XD

I would so attend his media courses at university

Some of the biggest UKpostsrs are also the smartest. Markiplier was going into bioengineering, Mark Roberg worked for NASA, Mattpatt studied neuroscience, etc. There's genetesists, marketing geniuses, doctors, lawyers. It's endless, and awesome.

I'd also like to attend a class he TEACHES* 😂

I was thinking the same thing!

They seem like friends

Which is very appropriate

I mean 70% of the time Matpat said “yep” “yeah” “yup” so I wouldn’t go as far to say he was interviewing Anthony.

yep

524 likes with no comment? I’ll fix that.

You my good friend are both a gentleman and a scholar

Bro speaking facts 🤌🏻

Where did Keith say this? I’m interested in watching that.

I wonder whether the Vlogbrothers and MatPat share this trophy. It feels to me like they were all very critical for this legitimacy.

And of course, one of his first game theory videos was on tiddies

This reinforces something I've assumed for a long time...the whole "normal people can make YT/social media a career" is horseshit. MatPat is literally a fucking polymath superstar with a similarly amazing hot wife. If he wasn't winning at this, he would be a hedge fund billionaire or something. Padilla is a male model. etc. These aren't regular Joes that can be emulated.

@@chrislangstaff Don’t let that discourage you.

That makes his Mario is mental theory even _more_ stupid.

Tubbo…

It's funny you say that because all that theory stuff actually runs in his family where I think he said his father was also a theorists this was mentioned in a podcast between Markiplier and matpat where a lot more info is showed

Well said! That's part of why I think his wife Steph is so important to work out. They're like a consultant team who've helped out plenty of UKpostsrs directly. In a lot of ways I think this move to sell will help free some time for them to continue learning and exploring ways to help UKposts as a platform grow and be a great space for all creators

this is why I love Anthony's interviews, it allows me to enjoy a creator even more, or start to emphatize with them, like in the case of amouranth

I feel with platforms like UKposts, luck will always have to be in the equation to a degree. That being said, I'm confident there aren't many people that could accomplish what Matt has with any amount of luck. Even though I've fallen off his content the last few years, I always have massive respect for his work.

Yeah a lot of his haters don't understand

Truth!! She is as much part of the Theory channels as much as MatPat is.

Hey could i ask you a question real quick?

@@williamvanniekerk5608 Sure.

@@starshiny3399 Plot twist: that was the question

@@thebestpilot7 What a twist, it's been 7 days, that must've been it.

Matpat got that insider knowledge about what makes channels good and large and profitable fr

Matpat and Mr. Beast should sit down and nerd out about youtube for an hour

That part about no one caring about the presentations and then disregarding the main points he got across, that was painful. Every organization ever...

Try Guys

@@HearingWall7238 ah so now talking positively about one's spouse = cheater. That's... interesting.

@@bryanaperry8760 I love MatPat and Steph, I just like bringing the cheater up when someone talks about loving their spouse

To me this just like two old friends getting together to shoot the shit

@@EndoftheBeginning17 yeah it Taco Bell

Same! Even though she isn’t on GTLive anymore, it’s nice seeing her appear in some food theory episodes every now and then!(I honestly didn’t expect me to enjoy food theory so much haha)

And she also does the best nugget voice

I miss her during gtlive. Matt and Steph just work so well together in terms of humor and how they play games. But I understand that she has other things taking up her time.

tjjj hi

Hello

TJ TOONS WASUP

🎉

He does say he watches most videos at 2x speed now, especially after Ollie was born

Idk he said it was a year ago when this happened

For real, I’m depending on them so much. If anyone on UKposts was qualified enough to make this decision well it’s gonna be game theorists. Makes everyone a bit nervous but this I’m really trying to trust some of the smartest people on the internet

Hell yeah! Love these guys! I don't agree with everything MatPat and Anthony say/believe, but they are both really fun and likeable guys! This video was awesome! Edit: You shall never know what this reply said before the (edited) tag was added. >:)

to be fair, the title just says he just spends a day with matpat

Yeah he’s gone now

This was horrible timing 😭😭

@@BenedictMpetino fr 😭

Oooh i'd love that. If that were to happen, i hopehopehope they'd do a lunchtime with SMOSH-kind of ting. I really miss those. Questions and all.

"I Spent a Day with Ian Hecox" has to come soon

Thank you so much for pointing this out!!! I am literally crying that's so amazing

if you remember which video it is can you give me the link??

You gotta leave a link, cause I wanna see it.

Also following for the link

Leaving a comment for the link

Frr cause Stephanie is equally as hard working

Sorry you had a tough day! Glad the vid made it better. Nothing like wholesome Anthony videos after a rough one eh? :)

I mean, the channel started in 2009. If you started watching it in its heyday, you're no older than 21, which adds up.

yeah i’ve done the same and i’m really proud of how far he’s gotten

@@axelmok498 well.. yeah

@@axelmok498 got it memorized?

@A B LOL sorry if my comment seemed dumb, I just see alot of comments 😅 of people saying they watched the channel X amount of years but the math don't add up. Just appreciating the math works.

Definitely. I think it was definitely exemplified by the Vine boom where, like them or not, you had a bunch of creators who came in because they had token personalities. I'm not saying their fans loved them for those archetypal or 'token' personalities, but they were able to capture an increasing audience because their 'thing' could be summed up in a few words, or in a 6-second video every week. The original UKpostsrs didn't think they could compete because Viners had to inherently play around a much lower attention-span (and therefore quicker but more 'juicy' content) and a much more mobile-oriented environment, where one's 'relevance' and ability to stay on the platform with a consistent amount of clicks would've had a much shorter lifespan than a typical UKpostsr. I'm not saying that's bad, what I'm saying is that - there would've been an advantage to doing that - that the original UKpostsrs wouldn't have had from the get go. So, one of the things they could do to inhibit a quick shift into this totally different paradigm just to compete with the Viners was to use a single persona that they could bend and shape at will just to succeed. They could no longer just make a video they wanted to make on a saturday evening, telling their viewers about how their day went - they had to be a personality because a bunch of these creators from other platforms were coming in, already born with archetypal and bombastic personalities. A lot of these Viners had already streamlined what would come to be a much more clickable format, and the only way for the original UKpostsrs to compete was to ditch the flexibility of old laid-back UKposts, and to adopt the streamlining and content optimization that would have already been subconsciously well understood by the Viners - with the biggest part being that you now also had to completely optimize your persona as well just to stay relevant. But now that a lot of these people are well established and have gone years making a relatively stable living: they're no longer worried about making too many compromises just to stay 'relevant'. Sure, you still have to do a load of work to 'stay', but you no longer need to do much to keep up. There is no longer enough change happening on YT that warrants the entire present creatorbase to suddenly do an annual shift in what they want to do just to continue getting views, and thus easing your viewerbase to a much more genuine 'persona' is finally completely doable.

omg thank you so much 😭😭

Yesss!!!! People who do captions fully help me so so so much. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and also have ADHD to point I need captions to focus. People who do their captions seriously or who have fun with their captions make my days. Same with people who do trigger or content warnings. It’s the small things in life

@@davydoesthings thanks for the personality you put into the subs Makes my day

I agree but that's the standard for proper caption writers and transcribers

@@sugarkats21 Which are Sadly Too Rare on Not just UKposts, but most Platforms Nowadays. It’s Come to the Point where Accessible, Actually Comprehensible Captions like these are Less the Standard and More the Outlier for Content in General. Captions are Mostly Auto-Generated and Poorly Structured outside a Few Specific Channels here on UKposts.

Maybe this contributed but according to Ian and anthony they've been planning this since last year

Kinda is. MatPat worked for Defy for a bit, and he also helped Anthony as well

@@ktheveg yeah, exactly

Right? Damn they both have such a cool dynamic together

omg even though I read this comment before the end, it still caught me off guard with such warm feelings!!🥰

MatPat is inspirational I wanna strive to be like him in terms of Competence and compassion

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for talking!

@@StrudlAnimations Thanks for commenting!

@A-Opal Candy that's a better one and also HA

Lmao no they definitely skew zoomer. Tom Scott is a much better example imo

@@drewpeacock9087 Now I need to see Anthony interview Tom Scott lol

@@drewpeacock9087 I mean they’re made with a younger audience in mind but it isn’t like dumbed down or anything. It’s like movies or shows that can be enjoyed by both kids an adults.

Anthony and his team knew what they were doing 😉

Cool that you noticed

100% they were already in the process of buying back when this happened. I love it.

I agree entirely! They're so cute and I love seeing them both in videos together! It's wholesome and refreshing in this chaotic world that feels full of meanness so often. I'm so excited for the new channel! Also: Memento Mori!! 🖤🤍

Momento mori ❤

I am the only female in my job, so I completely understand. The people I've worked with for years listen to me, but every time we get a new guy, I have to work harder than everyone else to prove that I deserve the job and know what I'm doing, where everyone else, even the other new guys, are assumed to know more than me. I am so tired.

ok..

Exactly. People always discount the wage gap by saying ‘women choose to work lower-paying jobs’ but so often that’s because the more specialized fields are extremely sexist.

@@aarishowton8037 Lol yep. I actually would love to go into programming if I could do college over but nah, would rather not subject myself to that. I also highly question why some of the most emotionally-taxing jobs are super low paid.

@@hiddenguy67ust say you hate women 👎🏽

Nope, doesn't look like it. Matpat has no power over their channel, he's just a data analytic person.
