"It's really hard to make a TTS video when you first start making them. But once you start getting better at them, you will become a very advanced TTS video creator like me."- That Yoshi with the Blue Helmet, 2017Matthew T., better known online as That Yoshi with the Blue Helmet (formerly TheRaisinBranFlash), is an American YouTuber and music producer specializing in text-to-speech, gaming and technology videos. He is the founder and chief executive officer of the media and entertainment conglomerate TYWTBH, a Blue Helmet Media company. He is also the creator of the TYWTBH Universe storyline for his TTS shows. 
When producing TTS videos, he mainly cites davemadson as his primary inspiration for the shows ABC Bloopers and the upcoming Hilarious Signs. He cites various funny error video creators for the inspiration of Funny Computer Errors, and he came up with TYWTBH & Friends on his own.
When producing music, he goes under the stage name DJ Simbz. He primarily produces electronic dance music, but he also experiments with different genres such as rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop and Latin. 
== Life ==
Matthew was born on June 8, 2000 as the youngest of three siblings in the city of Gardner, Massachusetts. He has an older brother named Nick (born November 1, 1995 in Putnam, Connecticut) and an older sister named Johanna (born December 18, 1998 in Gardner, Massachusetts). His siblings are into gaming as well.
Matthew lived in three communities in Massachusetts for most of his life, including the town of Orange (lived for two years), his birth city of Gardner (lived for three years) and the town of Westminster (lived for twelve years).
In the summer of 2017, at the age of 17, Matthew and his mother moved from his grandparents’ house in Westminster to a house in the middle of nowhere, located in a small town in southwestern New Hampshire. He moved to the Granite State because of the requirement of standardized testing at his high school in Ashburnham, Massachusetts in order to graduate. He was not a standard student in school because of his disability. He attended a middle/high school in his current town and earned a high school diploma in May 2020 after two months of remote learning during the pandemic.
On June 6, 2020, two days shy of his 20th birthday, Matthew lost his great grandmother during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which she died at a nursing home in Gardner at the age of 95. The TYWTBH Productions cast along with a few of Matthew’s Discord friends paid their respects on the day of her passing. He attended her funeral in Brandon, Vermont on May 22, 2021.
== ABC Bloopers and other shows ==
In April 2017, Matthew created the comedy-drama logo bloopers web series ABC Bloopers, which is based on the hit LT Parodies series by davemadson, his main inspiration. Although he doesn’t watch Dave’s videos that much anymore due to overused jokes and gags, he still cites the St. Louis-based YouTuber as an inspiration for the TYWTBHTV original series. The creation of the show led to the formation of the television production company TYWTBH Productions.
The original version of ABC Bloopers ended abruptly in May 2018 after the release of the fourteenth episode, because Matthew was burnt out on ideas as a result of writer’s block and having a busy personal life. He revived the show in mid 2020 for TYWTBHTV Networks’ flagship television channel of the same name.
In 2020, Matthew announced that Hilarious Signs, Funny Computer Errors and TYWTBH & Friends will be added to TYWTBHTV’s lineup of shows alongside ABC Bloopers, which has become the flagship show for the channel. However, he created two new channels in February 2021 which replaced two shows that originally aired on the main TYWTBHTV channel - TYWTBHGaming became the replacement of the Gamers’ Corner, and TYWTBHTech replaced the TechZone. The main TYWTBHTV channel is dedicated to his text-to-speech shows.
== Trivia ==
Matthew is a fan of DC Comics and Marvel. His favorite heroes from both sides are the Flash (Barry Allen) and Rocket Raccoon (known as Rocket Andrew Raccoon in his TTS videos). He loves to watch the CW series The Flash on Tuesday nights.
Matthew really loves Yoshi, and he even based his character That Yoshi with the Blue Helmet on him.
Matthew is really into gaming just like his older siblings. Matthew mostly plays PC, Xbox and Switch games such as GMod, Madden, the Sims, SimCity, Super Smash Bros. and more. He also likes to play SimCity: BuildIt and Words with Friends on his iPhone. In the future, he is looking forward to building a new computer for editing, streaming and gaming altogether, and plans to stream Grand Theft Auto V and other great games on YouTube and Twitch.
Matthew used to make grounded videos on a website called GoAnimate (now Vyond) starting in 2013, but quit three years later due to the toxicity of the GoAnimate and grounded video communities, the cringeworthy grounded videos and the removal of the Comedy World and other Flash themes as a part of Vyond’s migration to HTML5, especially the removal of some voices due to license expiration. He still hates the site and its fanbase as of 2021.
Matthew likes to listen to EDM and pop music, but also likes alternative, hip-hop, Latin, R&B and rock music. His favorite musical artists and bands include Maroon 5, Glass Animals, Alan Walker, Kygo, Ed Sheeran, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, the Weeknd and more.
