Matt is an Eggceptional creator. Always eggcited when a video drops because I know it’ll be a quality video with your silly humor and detail. Whenever you need to take a break please don’t worry aboot us, Eh? Focus on you. :)

[@Eggsceptional]

Oh hey now, bud, we don't talk like that, eh? ..Intonation is hard in text! Thank you so much :) I've been better about taking the rest I need. My GF has been keeping me in line :P

[@PokemonWoop]

What a truly eggceptional year it's been! I remember seeing your channel when you only had about 5 videos and less than 10 subs. It's been a crazy and well deserved ride :D

[@Eggsceptional]

It really has been. I can't believe what a journey it's been. Thanks for being a part of it :)

[@op7TouRiaN]

Hey mate, I'm rarely commenting on vids, but just wanna let you know... Its been a blast! All the good for you, personally and KZbin wise. Keep it going 🔥

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoy everything I have planned... mwahahaha.

[@mauricioguerra1794]

Don't usually comment and was binge watching your videos but not subscribed, this one earned my subscription. I'm starting therapy this January

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you so much. I wish you all the best on your journey. It takes courage and strength to realize that you can't do everything alone. You've got this :)

[@Matthias.Abaddon]

Im oddly emotional. As a fellow pokemon nerd named Matt who struggles with mental health and lack of ambition, it's kinda surreal to hear your story. I'm so so glad you found a safe place to just have fun and your people. Here's hoping I can too one day.

[@Eggsceptional]

Reading through these comments has had me leaking a few times myself. I believe that you'll find it! It's hard. It is damn hard. You're worth the work.

[@hitmanx200]

From one former tradie to another, I want to congratulate you for never giving up on yourself and continually trying to find your place in this world. I think you’re doing a great job, keep it up.

[@Eggsceptional]

I appreciate you saying it. Sometimes it's like being between worlds that's for sure. Thanks for being a part of the journey :)

[@azurrayne4140]

This video touched my heart as I watched, as I've gone through my own depression cycles as well. Egg is not wrong, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! The depression will make you feel that, and make it feel like you're a burden, or weak, just for reaching out. Know that reaching out in a time of need is one of the STRONGEST things you can do. Here's to a wonderful 2024, and remember to praise the old amber!

[@Eggsceptional]

I absolutely agree. Admitting that you can't do everything alone takes courage and strength. Here's to 2024! Thank you for all of your support :)

[@rjagad]

Thank you for this video :) Always take care of yourself first... I enjoy your videos greatly.

[@Eggsceptional]

It was my genuine pleasure :) Thank you.

[@kangaskdan]

What a great 2023 you've had! I've loved watching you evolve as a content creator, and becoming your friend :D here's to an even better 2024!!

[@Eggsceptional]

It's been my genuine pleasure sharing in some adventures with you over the last few months :D Here's to 2024. Thanks for everything you've helped bring to the channel :)

[@MisterVictini]

I remember a couple months back I had found you for the first time, watching the Poliwrath and Politoed VS video- I think you had less than 1k subscribers and I randomly found it in my recommendations, and then I think the first time I commented was on the Dusclops video not too long after. My point is, it’s amazing to see your growth as a KZbinr. The quality of your videos has continued to increase, and I try to make sure and watch all em, though I’m usually busy when the premiere happens 😅 Here’s to 2024, I am excited to see what comes next! Nonetheless, I am happy to be a part of this community!

[@Eggsceptional]

I was most certainly under 1k for the Poliwrath/Politoed video. We all live busy lives! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and for being a part of this journey :) Here's to 2024 and all of the improvements I want to continue bringing to the channel. Thanks!!

[@kikomagana1990]

May the success continue into 2024 and beyond. Congrats!

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you!! I'm going to rock 2024 :)

[@djkidja]

Been there since day 1.. looking forward to watching your growth to 1M subs.. 🇯🇲

[@Eggsceptional]

The concept of four 0s kind of floors me, but 6? I appreciate you being here for the journey :)

[@princeofrain1428]

Congratulations, Matt! It takes some incredible strength to reach out to someone about your mental health and even more courage to share your journey online for the public. I wish I had been here for the premiere, because I don't really know any better way to support you or your channel. Thank you for being so sincere and entertaining all at the same time. I can't wait to see what you have planned next! Enjoy your holiday and we will see you next year! P.S. Would you be open to starting a Discord server? It might make future collaborations and compiling video ideas much easier, plus it would allow a wonderful place to not only grow your community's number, but also the bonds between them!

[@Eggsceptional]

I appreciate you saying that :) Your watch time, like, and comment are all I could ever ask for. I really appreciate the effort! I can't wait to show you what's in my head! Concerning Discord: it's close! It's not that it's a difficult thing to do, I just need to find the time. My GF has graciously agreed to help me a bit her time off, so soon. Soon(ish). Thank you :)

[@Aaron.Seabolt]

Matt, your story is inspirational, and I’m glad you took the time to discuss your mental health issues over the years. Unfortunately, men’s mental health is often overlooked, and we’re told we need to “be a man.” It truly is a double-edged sword. You’re an eggcellent content creator. Between the nuzlockong community and the solo running community, there is so much positivity and support. This video inspired me to finish video editing my blue version of the hardcore Nuzlocke video and hopefully start releasing on video a month. I fell off track with that this year, between going back to school, working on losing weight, working and raising my kiddo. Thank you for being eggceptional and an inspiration. Here’s to 2024, cheers mate. 🍻

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you for this comment. This video and the comments that have followed has definitely made me leak a few times. You're right about the whole "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. We've all eggsperienced it. I appreciate you being here for a part of my journey. I'll be interested to see what you come up with! Let me know when/where I can find it when it's ready! Well done on all of the work you've done so far. Keep at it! Here's to 2024 :) Cheers!

[@Themelonmans]

I'm so happy to be apart of this guys community.

[@Eggsceptional]

I'm so happy to have you here :)

[@CasualVideoGamer]

Loved the video as usual. As much as I enjoy Jrose and Scott’s Thoughts, I feel most connected to your videos. You’re a fun dude and I’ve enjoyed the ride up to this point. Thank you for your time and efforts!

[@Eggsceptional]

I appreciate you saying that! I try to be as genuine as I can be. I felt that after such a wild and successful 3/4 year, this was a video I needed to make. Thanks for all your support :)

[@lumineinfinitussilverkagat8094]

Watching you, your channel, and this community grow has been an Eggsceptional experience that has reignited the love for a series near and dear to the hearts of many. You should be proud of all that you have accomplished and how far you have come. From one Gen 3 Kanto Pokémon Trainer to another I wish you all the best Matt and looking forward to what's to come in 2024 Much love from Kagato and his Venusaur named Spuds.

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you Kagato and Spuds :) It's been one heck of a year, and I'm so ready to jump into 2024. Thank you for being a part of this journey :)

[@briancaster2876]

This was a lovely video, thank you. These are a lot of thoughts I've had about myself lately. I've been subbed for about, 3 months now, i think. I enjoy your videos, they help me calm down at night. I don't wanna pressure you though. Take care of yourself, thats the most important thing. Sorry for rambling

[@Eggsceptional]

You didn't ramble at all! I've heard from a lot of people that my videos help them find some peace every Friday. It's so genuinely rewarding to hear about :) i appreciate your support. Don't worry, I'm finding ways to keep the content rolling without burning out again. Thanks!

[@jdsnerdverse]

Eggellent year my dude. Glad u were able to follow your passion

[@Eggsceptional]

Absolutely :) Thanks for being a part of it.

[@RicoChicoMalico]

Great stuff my dude. Always take a break whenever you feel you need it :) I have a couple matchups for suggestion - Gardevoir vs Alakazam, Golem vs Rhydon, Beautifly & Dustox vs Butterfree and Beedrill respectively. Keep up the great work, much love!

[@Eggsceptional]

I love the suggestions! Many of them are adding votes to things are already on the list :) The early bugs have been a bit of a shuffle, and I'll likely tackle them between generations, comparing all of their results as they come in. I wish I could do an 8 way VS video but.. That's just ludicrous :P I appreciate it. Thank you :) Much love!

[@chefgrizz6284]

2023 was similar for me. 2020 was a devastating year(non covid related) and 21-22 was looking up amazingly. 2023 felt like I was getting pummeled nonstop. In the wise words of Butters Stotch “In a weird way, I’m happy that I can be this sad, because if I can be this sad, that means I’ve been really happy before. You gotta have the downs with the ups” Probably butchered this quote. Sorry I missed the last couple videos. You are a great content creator, and a better person.

[@Eggsceptional]

It's true. The last several years have been a trial. I absolutely love that you've quoted Butters. I remember that episode! We've rewatched into mid-season 6 now. I think that episode is somewhere around this time? You don't have to apologize. We all lead busy lives. Take the time you need. The videos can wait! Thanks for all of your comments, egg tips, and good vibes over the past months :)

[@cameronclevenger8215]

We're all rooting for you dude!

[@Eggsceptional]

I really appreciate it! Seriously. Words cannot possibly eggspress.

[@jeffdeneum]

Awww happy holidays dude, wishing you all the best!

[@Eggsceptional]

Happy Holidays! All the best to you as well, thanks :)

[@ricksdarkness3257]

You deserve the best, Matt!

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you! All the best to you as well :)

[@mattulibarri6181]

As i fellow matt im glad you're doing something you love! I love the videos #gomatts

[@Eggsceptional]

Matts of the world, assemble!! I appreciate it. Thank you :)

[@Jirachel335]

I hope you had a good holiday and have a good new year! This year’s gone by so fast! I look forward to your videos coming out every Friday. There a staple of my end of the work week wind-down Here’s to 2024, looking forward to what you have in store :D (I didn’t intend for that to be a rhyme)

[@Eggsceptional]

It isn't quite over yet, but we're transitioning between families so I can get some work done :P I'm determined to end the year strong. I'm honoured to be a part of your week end relaxation. The fact that it rhymed makes it even better! Here's to 2024 :)

[@Caffeinated_Firefly]

🥺 Sir, please stop, I'm gonna tear up

[@Eggsceptional]

Don't go reading some of these comments, then! I've sprung a leak myself.

[@jaredalexander1853]

Love what you’re doing Matt! Keep it up!

[@Eggsceptional]

I appreciate it! Thank you :)

[@jaredalexander1853]

@@Eggsceptional Do you have an email I could contact you at? I’d love to send you some resources that helped me stay mentally healthy when starting my business

[@Eggsceptional]

​@@jaredalexander1853 Absolutely! [e-mail] I appreciate you sending those my way. There's no such thing as having too many resources :)

[@RobKni76]

Great video, man! Glad to hear what you've learned and overcome! I still don't get the egg puns, but I like your approach and overall vibe. Keep it up, Mr Egg Guy! Thanks for everything

[@Eggsceptional]

I needed something for KZbin! Eggs have been a central pun subject for my entire life, and it was a natural fit. As long as I'm not going overboard with it! I appreciate it, thank you :)

[@Silvitewolf]

You rock Matt

[@Eggsceptional]

You rock! Thank you :)

[@Eggsceptional]

Aw shucks :)

[@henrymars6626]

.......okay but why eggs? Because they make you an Exeggcutie?

[@Eggsceptional]

Probably :P The egg puns have been close to me for my entire life. I felt it was a natural fit for KZbin!

[@Krispizz]

MERRY CHRISTMAS MAN
