Exposing A Youtube Cult (RealiTEA)

MatPat, a/k/a Matthew Patrick, is a YouTuber and the creator of Game Theory, a popular show analyzing and theorizing about video games. He also went on to create the channels GT Live, Film Theory, and Food Theory. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Stephanie and son Oliver.

## Connection to Dad

On December 12, 2020, Dad uploaded a since-deleted video, which featured a photoshopped image of MatPat and Tamil text that, when translated, read "She made him pure." Then, on January 6, 2021, MatPat released a video on his Film Theory channel called "Film Theory: There Is Only DAD D̩̿̃̊a͎̓̄͋D ͈͘DÁ̘̪͡d ̒̇͞d̻̈́̚a͌͊͋͋͌D̡̻͊̒͞ ͈̆͐̌͒ͅd̰̘͝͡Á͕̪̄̚͢͟͠D̜̖̈͆̚ͅ". This video analyzed the Dad Feels channel up until right before the release of Andan's Run. He covered elements like the role of Nathan Barnatt in the story, the significance of Andan Rill, the power of FOOD. The video ends with MatPat finding a can of FOOD outside his door and bringing it inside. This video has over 3 million views, and in the weeks since its release, Dad's subscriber count increased by over 100,000.

Also on January 6, 2021, Dad released a livestream called "MatPat Nāṉ uṅkaḷuṭaṉ ceyyavillai", in which Dad said that what MatPat said in his video about Dad wasn't true and that Dad had "saved" MatPat with FOOD. On January 7, 2021, Dad released "Welcome to Dad", introducing himself to all of his new subscribers and addressing MatPat's video. He thanked MatPat for making a video, but told him that everything that he said was wrong. He also said that he was going to dig into MatPat in his next episode of RealiTea, calling him "Matthew Patthew".

On February 8, 2021, Dad released Matpat's Dark Secrets (RealiTEA). He implied that MatPat was looking into Dad's Life in order to learn about Cheryl's time travel research so that he could escape his time. He also talked about spooky things in Ohio, MatPat's home state, and Duke University, MatPat's alma mater. The video ends with MatPat surrounded with FOOD cans saying "Obey the Server" over and over again.

On February 15, 2021, MatPat appears in "Dad Walks Home". He introduces a GT Live segment, but his voice is distorted, and he says that the GT Live motto is "Obey the Server". The GT Live logo also appears in the corner with a picture of CUBE in the center instead of the standard trophy icon.

On March 15, 2021, he appears again in "I Love You." He continues telling the audience to Obey the Server.

On April 12, 2021, he appears again in "What's Below the Facility?" He, again, continues telling the audience to Obey the Server.

On May 27, 2021, he released a follow-up video on Film Theory titled a "Film Theory: Dad Is Awake dAD iS AWakE DAd IS aWaKE." In this one, he goes over Andan's Run, the first five episodes of Act IIII and the other characters such as Mila, Computer Master and Rorre.

On May 31, 2021, Rorre released a video calling out MatPat, proclaiming that he was "next," promptly titled YOU'RE NEXT MAT PAT.

On November 30, 2021, Dad appeared on MatPat's final St. Jude's charity stream, teaching some of the guests cool dance moves.

## Trivia

* Dad first referenced MatPat in Exposing A Youtube Cult (RealiTEA), in which he showed a screenshot of The Film Theorists page when asking who else could be in the The Dark Party.
* In Dad's appearance on MatPat's St. Jude charity stream, there was Morse code which translated to "Beware the second implode. Good luck." The image to the right was also found.
