What is your favorite short-lived/underappreciated action figure line from the 90s? Can be an original concept or based on a movie/TV show/video game, etc.

Mike R.

What is your favorite holiday (Thanksgiving or Christmas) tradition you did with your family growing up? Do you still continue it to this day? Favorite recently created tradition?

Shaun Anderson

Worst Christmas movie antagonist Cousin Eddie, Buzz McCallister or Skut Farcas?

Julie Meow

Hey guys! If you could watch a specific movie again for the very first time, which one would it be?

Jason Uresti

Hello, happy to see Purple Stuff branching out to Patreon. My question: You're both creative guys. What is your dream gig? Whether writing, directing, acting, editing, whatever it may be if you had no restrictions what does your project look like?

M.P.

Back in 2002 X-E had a fundraiser where I ordered a personal drawing from Matt signed by a forged celebrity name, but I moved before it arrived and never received it at the new address. We can blame the Postal Service for that, but had it arrived, what would the drawing have been of and which celebrity would have signed it? I've spent the last 16 years of my life haunted by this!

Jace Bandalin

Thanks for setting this page up! I freakin love the podcast! My question is what is your one Thanksgiving dish that you can't go without for the holiday?

Anne Irvine-Ondrey

You guys have saved my sanity this year. I meant to tell you this, Matt, when I wrote about the bonus episode I bought but might as well make it public. I'm the person that owns a roller coaster company and I had the worst day of my adult life this year over a dream job going very, very bad (it's ALL good now, all turned out for the best!). I had never listened to the PSP before but on that bad day I was in such a desperately horrible place I got on my phone to look for ANYTHING different to give my brain even a second to move from extreme panic. Opened my browser to see the Solo menu ep and put it on as background noise while I literally kept trying not to lose it completely. I ended up having the only laughs and good moments of that day with that ep on. Gave me enough mental space to breathe and move through what was going on. I'm so grateful for that, you have no idea. Now hubby loves them too and we have them on all the time. The first episode is a total CLASSIC (Farley's Ghoulies 🤣). Legit though you guys saved my sanity that day, truly. I'll always be grateful for that and am so glad you guys were "there for me" that day.

Now my question. 😂 If you could pick any day, event, time period... whatever... of your childhood to be an episode of The Goldbergs, please do tell what they'd be. 🤣🤣 The more details of how you'd have them do it the better!

We Just Nerd Here Podcast

You're both legends in your own right, but what is the origin story of Jay and Matt? Where did this power coupling of awesomeness come from? We know where the Purple Stuff name comes from and we know why you started the show, but how did you become such an kick ass team?

Jimm McShane

If you could assemble a five-wrestler Survivor Series team, who would it be? Let's say Jay and Matt each assemble a team and they go head-to-head. Wrestlers from any era. Men, women, whoever. How does the match go and who wins?

Alice Bueno

What’s an interest or hobby that you enjoy, but not many people know about you?

Tyler Ham

If you could go back to any point in your childhood and be child age, but with your “now” brain for 24 hours - when would you go to and how would you plan your perfect day?

Scott P

Jay - Can we get a look at your vinyl collection sometime? Love to see your record stash. Matt - Have you ever considered doing a fancy printed book version of the X-E / Dino Drac archives? Any plans to add a video component to the podcast? Or to record a Purple Stuff while out and about, like at a convention?

MerkinMcGee

You guys never have stated on the Podcast that I recall.. How did you come around to naming the podcast Purple Stuff?

Jeremy Winkle

What's one popular 80's cartoon that you just couldn't get into? For me it was G.I. Joe and Transformers. I was all about He-Man and TMNT.

Nathaniel Wharton

What did you think of the Roseanne revival? How about The Conners?

LupinThe8th

What's a BAD movie that deserves a GOOD remake?

Stephen Leounis

For a Christmas show, I'd love to hear about your top 5 favorite Christmas presents you ever got as a kid? Action figures, Legos, playsets, bike, favorite socks lol, whatever! Also it'd be interesting to hear more about how you met and became friends.

James Johnson

For Matt: What are your top 5 favorite articles that Jay has done on The Sexy Armpit? For Jay: What are your top 5 favorite articles that Matt has done on XE/Dino Drac?

Casey the Terrible

How about mall memories? What was your favorite mall growing up and what made it stand out?

Dave Genis

If you guys could have one full line of toys and play with them exclusively what would they be. I would go with Legos.

Theo Lusitano

What television show, movie, or any other franchise do you wish made a Thanksgiving special? How would it go down? OR... If you could guest star in any existing Thanksgiving special, be it live action or animated, which one would it be and why?

Greg Mesheau

In the latest podcast Matt mentioned that he associates the Macy’s Garfield Balloon with Thanksgiving. What othe non holiday “things” do you guys associate with a holiday?

Rodrigo Barros

Do you guys ever think about how many of your recollections from childhood actually speak to your international fans? I believe I mentioned this to Matt before, can't remember if it was Facebook or Twitter or XE/DD, but sometimes it amazes me how we can "connect" on the same things simply from being close to the same age even though we grew up in different places and different countries. Sure, we sorta had the same toys and pop culture available, but all the rest is different, and yet I listen to you guys talking and it's like I'm sitting with my childhood friends back in Brazil. (I was born and lived in Brazil my whole life, but now at 39 I've moved to Portugal with my wife and son.)

Chris Cook

What’s the one toy you always wanted but never got as a kid? Mine was a power wheel. Never happened.

Renée

Since you're both from Jersey and Jersey-adjacent, what are your thoughts on the original run of Jersey Shore and now the reboot? There's a British version called Geordie Shore that is 10 million times as bonkers that I'm obsessed with, as well. (I have trash interests, I am not ashamed.)

Luke Erdman

If someone with deep pockets would offer you guys money to do the podcast/DD/Sexy Armpit full time, Ala Wayne's World-type sponsors, would you take them up on the offer, or would that take away from the passion behind the content, as it would essentially become the new "9-5 grind" for you both?

Mark Halstead

What are your favorite cardboard store displays you guys own? - Martel

Zarsheesh Divecha

Really happy to be able to contribute to such an amazing, quality and (clearly joyous) podcast ! Been a fan of Matt since the early 2000s and his work with X-E (knacks and kuse, box 23, the thunder cats and heman reviews and all his amazing articles). And then his incredible renaissance with DD. Jay captures a wonderful delirious joy about nostalgia and the two of you play off each other brilliantly. I wanted to ask you both - it's really strange how your nostalgia is a regional based thing, yet seems to apply to those all over the world. When you talk about Jersey or NY or Atlantic city etc and growing up, it seems really weird how you both have captured a feeling that even I can understand and relate to so easily (and I grew up halfway around the world in a crazy little country called Pakistan!). Somehow, in the 80s and 90s we all experienced the same crazy he-man TMNT cartoons, the toys, the classic 80s children's movies. And yet the way you described growing up in New Jersey echoes what my friends and I experienced too.

Keith Jeffreys

What are your thoughts on the official music video for Nightmare on My Street that was recently uploaded to YouTube? Are there any other pieces of lost media that you hope one day come to light?

Joseph m wilson

Love you guys so much. I discovered X-E via Wrestlecrap 15+ years ago and have loved Matt's work ever since. So glad to be able to be with y'all here on Patreon! Can we get bio shows for Matt and Jay and histories for each of their online work from start til now?!

NecroticDoctor

Do you guys have any specific tv show or tv show lineups when remembered automatically mentally transport you back to your childhood or preteen times? Here are some of my examples: 80s Thundercats after school in the fall when it was scary dark already, WPIX Saturday afternoon marathon ranging from Police Academy to Godzilla, 1987 Animal Crackups on Saturdays afternoon hosted by Alan Thicke, and Perfect Strangers. When I think about these shows or lineup, I automatically am transported to that time. You guys have any?

Paul Lawrence

Good afternoon Gentlemen, if you both came across the magic movie ticket as seen in the movie the last action hero, and got sucked into the movie Home Alone, what kind of traps would you set to thwart the wet bandits? Thanks!! @thepaulieNYC

Matthew Borzillo

Is there any toy that you wanted from your childhood that you never got and even in this day and age can't track down?

Isaac M Oden

In the spirit of Halloween (2018), if you could reboot one film franchise in the same style, what would it be? Extra points if either of you have an elevator pitch for your dream sequel.

Jim S

Jay, what's Alexa Bliss smell like? :-)

Will Skinner

We all know that Matt's parents are degenerate gamblers that constantly took him to casino arcades, but did Jay's family ever take him to inappropriate locations? My parents took me with them to Poltergeist when I was 3.

James Gruesome

What is your least favorite holiday? And would you ever do a podcast on it? So glad y’all have a patreon. It’s my fave podcast and I’m glad to be able to give you guys some money, especially for extra content. Glad it’s been doing good.

Doug Gaertner

How did Matt and Jay actually meet up? We've heard little bits about bonding over Castle Dracula, but what's the full story? Jay is the extrovert and Matt is the introvert. What's issue #1 in this saga?

Arcade Hunters hoarding all the Bigfoot 💩

We have always gotten some hints and glimpses through posts and podcast episodes about previous jobs and how Matt and Jay ended up doing the Purple Stuff Podcast, but what about a glimpse behind the curtain? Technically what do you guys use to record and edit an episode? What job(s) led to cutting Jason promos or radio work and what eventually led to the podcast today?

Ryan

I would like a part 2 of “snacks we want back”! Also, purple stuff t shirts... you guys are the best ☺️

Sean O'Neil

what is your favorite "underappreciated" animated christmas special? it can be a christmas episode of a show, but it has to be animated.

Geoff Bartlett

If you could pick one year each from both the 80s and 90s to go back and live over, what would they be?

scott sellnow-richmond

What is a Christmas gift you both wanted REALLY badly but never ended up getting (at least until you were adults and could buy it for yourself?)

Dean Compton

What's something that's just before/past your time that you find interesting but never took that deep dive into?

Barry Harmon

Assuming questions posted here will apply to future shows: What movie franchise would you like to see pull a Halloween (2018) by releasing a sequel that follows the original and ignores all the other sequels?
