I don't think the team has done a video on this specifically, but if not, it could make for at least an interesting YouTube Short for the Food Theory channel.
It's an older story, but a short explaining how scientists baked bread from ancient yeast and ingredients that were available in ancient Egypt. Could maybe even tie it into the sourdough craze during the pandemic for how yeast starters are created. I thought I had read a different article about this describing how the scientist did all of his work in a clean room to try and avoid contamination and gave a description of how the bread tasted.

Given all of MatPat's work with organizations like St. Jude's and Make-A-Wish, I really think he would love to know that the little boy in this video (who received a Make-A-Wish with Johnny Depp earlier this year) looks up to and admires him.
Kori is an amazing little boy in the U.K. who, after learning that he really wanted to become a YouTuber during his Make-A-Wish call, was lucky enough to have Johnny Depp and a whole host of online personalities help push him to earning a silver play button in something like 4 days. He's being doing unboxing videos and helping show the world what hospice is like when he goes and just enjoying all of the love and support pouring in from around the world

That MatPat writes ideas and notes like I do! Should I be afraid that his mind and mine work similarly? lol
(and I am totally down to join Team Theorist as a Concept Theorist, lol)

John Green did his own favorite soda taste test video with variations of Dr. Pepper and now I kind of need him on a Food Theory episode about it a'la MatPat and his Diet Coke obsession!

OMG! This product was literally suggested to me in an email from Sephora this morning! My devices are definitely listening in as I watch the live streams, lol!

I don't know if it's been said before, but hearing the infamous prom video from Medina High School on GTnotLive today put this idea into my head.
Doesn't young MatPat sound an AWFUL lot like MirrorMat now?
Did MatPat, tired of having to outsource hired help for the channels, start playing around with cloning technology? Steph has the chemistry and lab experience to be a good assist on this project. Chris didn't leave like they keep saying... MatPat replaced him! And, who better to do the job than another MatPat!
We never get to see MirrorMat because he is a literal mirror image of MatPat rather than a perfect, younger copy. He was probably trying to one up Blippi for having multiple peop

Background: Infected March 2020 and longhauling since then. POTS, ME/CFS, cognitive dysfunction... the works. And I've been mostly housebound the entire time. Thank gods for grocery curbside pick ups and delivery.
Today, I had to go into Target to pick up my new glasses at their optical center and had to pick up a couple of items. My disabled parking placard hasn't come in the mail yet, so I wasn't able to park close to the store so I planned on using one of those motorized scooter carts for the first time. My mind had went through the anxiety spiral of playing out all the various ways someone might have an issue with my invisible disability from the moment I made this plan last night (gott

I hope I'm posting this correctly as I'm not sure what "Flair" to attach to it precisely, so I made my best guess.
I'm not sure if it would qualify as potential fodder for a Game Theory or just something cool to check out in a GT notLive/TheoryCraft episode since it's such a huge thing, but Wendigoon did an interesting video on this Reddit/Tumblr ARG-esque creation-- Mystery Flesh Pit National Park-- and all I could think about while watching it was how I wish I could hear MatPat's thoughts on the whole thing from his unique analytical/scientific mindset.
The entire thing is simultaneously fascinating and repulsing and so, so detailed. Hidden lore and trying to piece together a timeline fr
