Since 2011 Matthew Patrick better known as MatPat, has been filming and producing theory videos with his wife Stephanie Patrick.

MatPat is the creator and former host of the channel Game Theory and his later spin-off channels Film Theory, Food Theory, and Style Theory.

On Jan 9th, 2024, MatPat announced his retirement on YouTube in a video titled “Goodbye Internet.” He shared his final day would be March 9th. 2024. It was a very spontaneous announcement that left fans shocked.

In his video MatPat talks about his reasons for retirement, he said, “I love you guys, I love overthinking, and I love theorizing, but I don’t love late nights, I don’t like the fact that Steph and I have been work first for over a decade”
