The Muffin Trio, also known simply as The Trio, was a group made up of Skeppy, BadBoyHalo, and A6D. There was a Youtube channel called The Trio and the three would do streams and videos together. A6D eventually left The Trio due to a controversy, which meant The Trio was no longer a trio. "Happy duo" began to be used in place of it, which likely lead to the popularization of other duo and trio group names in MCYT fandoms.
History[1]
Disbanding
On February 1st, 2020, Skeppy tweeted that he was leaving the group.
There were so many times where I distanced myself from drama, but always found myself affiliated with it because of The Trio. It was really draining for me, and that’s something I don’t really want to be a part of.
Of course there were other reasons too, but we don’t really need to get into it. Regardless, I love Bad & A6D so much :) Don’t feel too bad we will probably still make videos together, and we’ve really only posted twice on The Trio channel.
This seemed to be temporary, however a few months later a6d would be "canceled" on Twitter for saying slurs, which seemed to permanently end the group and temporarily end the friendship between Skeppy and a6d.[4] Skeppy made a short stream saying him and a6d could no longer be friends, but that it wasn't because of the twitter drama and that a6d knew why.[5]
During this time BadBoyHalo tweeted in support of a6d, saying "A6d is my friend".[6]
I don't support everything my friends do or say. But everyone needs love, and I wouldn't be a good friend if I abandoned one of my friends in their darkest hour. In my opinion the best way to affect change in the world is to be a positive influence on the people in your life.
A few years later Skeppy and a6d seemed to reconcile, with Skeppy posting a video called THE TRIO RETURN![8] However the group remains basically dead with little else in the way of official content produced.
