  • Please listen

    Please stop making requests for episodes, you want to know why?

    Matpat and/or Tom will not respond as this is just a apple podcast recording game theory episodes and impersonating them

    The person who does see them does not care and gets money of you kids giving him five stars and requests for theories

    So here is the quick truth: They wont listen to your suggestions, matpat and/or tom will not respond to you, so please stop making suggestions and giving five stars

    Why have the reviews become a discord chat for 12 year olds. (But at least the 12 year olds like game theory, so the are cool 12 year olds)

    Alright, can we just end this war? I already have sooooooo many. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, FMR has a lot of lore and may have not helped Tom or MatPat, but it’s helped me a lot. I have theory’s of my own that I make with my friend group. They have all agreed with me and its settled in my POV. Plus, a LOT of lore was hidden in the game. Like the secret animatronics ThirtyNine,

    Reversonett, another kind of Puppet and golden Foxy. (I’m not so sure if golden Foxy is official so I put it in there.)
