I know matpat is treated as this nutty character youtube stereotype (sans is ness, etc) but he is a youtube expert. man has survived on this platform as long as markiplier has which really says something. hes like the perfect guide for navigating youtube as a platform, as a business, and as a community. imagine if he made videos for aspiring creators teaching them how to grow a youtube channel with real statistics and that changed as youtube's own platform changed and evolved. its fascinating.

I wanna see “I spent a day with Ian Hecox” and it’s just thirty full minutes of unbroken silence and awkward glances.

To learn that Mat was VALEDICTORIAN, got a PERFECT SAT, somehow doesn't surprise me, it just gives me more mad respect for him.
@marljusweety
I think Matthew and Stephanie might be the only creators that could announce selling the company without me immediately thinking "Oh, this will ruin the channel and its just a matter of time until its all gone.". I know they have more knowledge about the business part of youtube than anyone else and I actually trust their decisions. It was just "OK. Im ready for this to be the example of how it can be done successfully.". Still a tiny flutter in my stomach, but I choose to go with my instinct and knowledge. Its gonna be fine.

I love the attention for Steph, I remember when GTLive first started and Steph got to be so front and center and I fell in love with her personality, she’s so great thoughtful and caring, with out taking into account all of her incredible skill set.
@danicarli8412
It’s obvious these two are old friends because this feels more like a conversation than an interview 💜💚
@aurorasheep
You can tell how much MatPat loves and cares for Stephanie by the way he talks about her, he truly has so much respect and admiration for her and everything she has done, and you can tell he has always supported her and wanted her to be successful. Makes me respect him even more

I remember when I first learned about this channel, I didn’t know Anthony Padilla was Smosh. I was only really active on YouTube after Smosh had already faded away. When I learned that Anthony Padilla was one of the Smosh guys, it was like… learning that you’re dating a celebrity, or someone you knew was secretly an immortal vampire, or like the old hermit in the desert is actually a master wizard… or something like that. Anyways, I love these videos, Anthony, keep making great stuff
@tommyvasquez2708
this didn't feel like an interview anymore but more like two friends catching up which made this video feel much more organic
@wormintime
i seriously love hearing matpat talk analytics, he’s so knowledgeable and i’ve always thought it was amazing that he acted as a consultant for so many other creators while creating for his own channels.
@gamma_centauri
I like how this episode feels less like an interview and more like a conversation between homies who haven’t spoken in a couple months.
@frankiecedeno3724
Wait a minute… I just realized: the Smosh announcement happened the other day and Ian and Anthony have been working in it for about 6 months. That mean Anthony was in the process of getting back his channel (a literal dream) during this conversation about Mat selling his.
@iiMacK3699
MatPat is such a good partner to Steph. You can tell he genuinely loves and cares about her. I could tell he was getting emotional when discussing the hurt he feels when Steph doesn't get the attention she deserves
@J0hnD0ugh
I think we’ve learned that this entire comment section wants a “I spent a day with Steph” video on the behind the scenes work she does
@Cartmanchill
I could listen to MatPat talk about the functionality of YouTube all day. He's so passionate about it, and you could learn a thing or two.
@cha1rie
hella interesting that matpat used Anthony's mistakes to learn what not to do
@RyanSoltani
I’m calling it now. Matpat is going to pull the rug on everyone and make the next channel Stat Theory: An education channel that goes in depth on the lore of all the academics. From the hidden meaning behind the digits of Pi, to the history of the square Edit: Well looks like it was Style Theory, was fun guessing with you guys
@olivetreee5021
anthony and matpat making a podcast is something we all need
@Occultist_Anonymous
hearing modern Anthony say "smosh babies" felt like falling backwards into a pit
