1:38:40 I love how Steph talks about channels mimicking their thumbnails as friendly support, community, and shared visual language. A "dialogue"! There isn't competition, jealousy, or threat here. I feel like I never hear people talk like this. Steph acknowledges their inspiration and research, and then isn't quick to defend what she creates as uniquely hers. It's a part of a public discourse and she welcomes that. So cool! I've only seen a handful of Theory videos and I've never seen anything with Steph before, but I'm hugely impressed by her! Like genius business brain there.

The only time she ever was in a video specifically were the GTLive Livestreams which she was on the couch with Matpat as kinda the "community voice" so to say? Like how a streamer would play a game and talk to chat? Matpat would play and steph would talk to chat on the streams.

About RU-vid shorts, for me, it's the time. There are longer videos I would love to see, but sometimes, I need to conserve time due to studies, so I'll watch like some amount of shorts, and get back to work. I don't prefer it over longer youtube videos, but, in that case, shorts do come handy. there are pros and cons to both.

I quite literally grew up on GameTheory, it has become everything to me. Seeing the "Goodbye Internet" video made time literally stop for me. I knew I was gonna be really sad but watching till the end I left with this bittersweet feeling. It was this whole "The only good parts of my childhood are being ripped out from under me" but also "I am so proud of them for doing what is best for them. For listening to their hearts and understanding what is best". It's always gonna be a bittersweet feeling when I partake in the new era of the Theory channels, it will never be the same. But knowing that MatPat and Steph will not only still be behind the scenes and will still be involved (I'm holding onto hope for cameos in FNAF videos lol) while also doing what's best for them and their family just makes my heart so full. As I get older and am now a part time college student, I find myself admiring them even more than i did prior (if that's even possible). They are so eloquent, elegant, playful, kind, and passionate and I'm finding them become who I wanna be. They just are such grounded and loving people and I can't fathom living my life without knowing them. I'm so blessed that i got to be here and experience the GameTheory with Mat and Steph. It reminds me a lot of Unus Annus. I was heartbroken that it ended (despite knowing it was coming). Everything ends and i know that, but when it happens it still hurts. But I'm so ecstatic that i git to experience this. Anyway, this is just to say, i love being a theorist. Thank you MatPat and Steph.

To hear all of you acknowledge the struggles, late nights, and worries felt humanizing. Now this is my opinion but i feel everyone is always putting on a mask of success/hubris that almost disconnects you from that creator. It was genuinely awesome to hear a bit more of the behind the scenes. Best of luck to Steph and Matt!! Colin and Samar keep up the great interview process, i felt that you are able to get people to open up and have a genuine experience on your show, and it is wholesome to see/listen to.

This hit me so hard that the channel that I've followed since I was a kid is so meticulous with the way they've been releasing content. Like, a lot of these things should have been obvious, but they just weren't for me until this interview. The fact that MatPat and Stephanie have been spending 12 hours a day just working on shoots regularly? Their proposal to Lunar X? The fact that they have over 20 full time employees and over 20 freelancers working for them? It just seems so surreal but makes so much sense, maaaajor props.

1:59:42 "The opposite of happiness is interestingness" I couldn't find that study, but the philosopher Slavoj Žižek says something related ("Why be happy when you can be interesting?", arguing that we often don't truly want to obtain what we think we desire), and there's also the Greek concept of eudaimonia ("living well, achieving a fulfilling life"), which is an alternative to hedonism (focusing on pleasure and enjoyment). It's something really important to think about, since happiness can be fleeting and dependent on external circumstances (you can still be fulfilled in a more sustainable way, if you can find a meaning/purpose worth dedicating yourself to).

I am a small RU-vid channel doing this for 7 years and I swear if their story is relatable, encouraging, and a warning too. I learned so much just watching what they had to say. I am really looking forward to seeing what they do next because they are so talented that they are bound to shine at it too.

to be honest, watched many of these interviews, this has the most laughter of any of them. I am glad to see all of the smiles and enjoyment.. some interviews are serious and need to be in some regard. but seems to be a lot of joy here.

Favorite episode so far, love their channels and it’s so great to see Stephanie shine here as Matpat has said before people have not credited her enough in the past. She’s so smart! Edit* I should not have laughed as hard as I did at the easy ease keeping the internet together joke as I did. Dear God I love this channel.

I did not expect to listen to the full 2+ hrs of this podcast but it was very interesting. Ive been watching MatPat since 2014 and am happy he is taking a step back to spend more quality time with family. I had a son 2 years ago and he really makes me appreciate life and value my free time so much more. At the end of the day, work is not as fulfilling as family.

Loved this episode! I've always had so much respect for both Mat and Steph and how they've built up the Theory channels over time, and have been wanting to get their insight and professional takes on the behind the scenes of RU-vid. Their production style, business pipelines and work ethic are fascinating to learn about and I love how articulate and digestible their explanations were. Mad respect for Steph in particular for carrying many of the business heavy foundations and initiatives that have truly made the Theorist channels and brand what it is today. And of course Mat who compliments those efforts and can creatively support the internal teams while being the voice and consumer-facing point person for the brand. Really going to miss this era of the Theorist brand but really looking forward to what the new creative directors have in store for the future of the channels and IPs!

I love this, I started watching this cause I really admire Steph and Matt and wanted to listen to something on the background as I was doing stuff. But I finished around the 1.36hr and couldn't stopped it, I wanted to listen to everything. I really love seeing how much they know and how well spoken they are, I started watching Theory a year or so ago and still feel so proud of them, wishing them the best for the new chapter of their life!

Man this is actually the best podcast I’ve ever listened to, the way Steph and Mat talk about the history of this channel and the nonstop grind finally coming to a halt where I can understand WAY MORE the way growth in a channel can heavily affect the seemingly invisible end goal. It’s inspiring and man I’m so proud of how far the channels have come over the decade I’ve been watching the theorists. This is just amazing. Thank you Colin, Samir, Mat and Steph for this wonderful podcast

Watching this makes me really want to see you guys grab those cameras again and just follow creators around in their workspaces to see what a day in the life of there business actually looks like. Similar to what you guys did with Mr. Beast where is was documentary style. I adored that video and with each of these podcasts, it keeps bringing me back to that same desire to want to physically see these workspaces that your guests talk about! Just food for thought and thanks again for the incredible content!

To the idea of a MatPat ai voice idea. It would work for some but not everyone. I began watching Game Theory when the channel first launched until today, and it was around when other writers were brought on board. That I noticed I wasn’t watching every video when it was released like I had. MatPat had his own unique way of writing the videos, that when other people did it, there was minute details that I picked up on and lost the same interest I used to have. If that makes sense to anyone 😅🤷‍♂️

Thank you for bringing this conversation to the internet. MatPat has been such a pioneer in the creator community, he "got it" way before so many other creators did. His RU-vid theories on film theory pioneered the very genre I now come to Colin and Samir for. Regardless of views, to me this video is as valuable as the Mr. Beast video. Thanks guys.
